Author's Note: Soooooo yeeeeaaah, hey everybody. It's been a while since I posted anything. You can thank school and AP classes for that. BUT IT'S SUMMER! DOBBY IS FREE! *cough cough* Pardon me. Anyways yeah so I started watching the anime One Piece and OMG! I am in LOVE with this anime! And me being the hopeless romantic I am, i always have at least one male in every anime I fangirl over... Yeah I dig Mr. Grumpy-green haired-swordsman! XD I thought the scene of the little girl bringing Zoro some rice balls was so cute! (Literally I cried from the adorableness; and the faggoty spoiled son being an ass to her...) And this got me thinking... what if it were an older female that just so happened to want to be a pirate and melt the cold heart of the stoic samurai? Yeah I know I know, it's just an excuse to fangirl my heart out and write fluff. It's what I do. Actually I would like to MAYBE include a lemon or two in here. I was trying to find some on the internet and I SWEAR TO GOD THEY DON'T EXIST! WHY DOES NO ONE HAVE THE HOTS FOR ZORO? I found maybe 2-3 but they were all INCREDIBLY short One-shots! I want to write a story for Zoro thats a complete plot. So yeah... Theres the lack of logic to this piece of prose. Now, what do you say we get to reading?

PS: While I still have your attention, I would like to provide a little pointless info about my OC (if you want to picture her while you read)

Name: Mayive (Pronounced May- Eve)

Age: 19

Looks:-About 5' 10, has a tiny bit of tummy cuz she likes food, but is relatively slender.

-Long brown hair with natural highlights usually in a braid with loose bangs

-Gray/Blue eyes

Now she may seem a little Mary-Sue-ish in the beginning but don't you worry, you get to see PLENTY of her flaws later. OK. NOW I will let you get to the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~*~~~\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cautiously peeked over the stone wall. Good. No marines. I carefully placed the glass bottle on the wall and crawled over it. Grabbing it, I dropped down on the other side. Quickly glancing left and right to reassure myself no marines were there, I ran over to the figure in the center of the enclosure. Roronoa Zoro slumped against the wooden beams he was so cruelly tied to. He wearily gazed up at me, drenched with sweat from the unforgiving heat, from under his bandana.

"Not you again, dammit..." He growled. I had gotten used to his rudeness by now. I held the bottle up before him.

"I brought you water Mr. Zoro."

"Hell, I told you to stop bothering me! I don't need your help!" He said angrily. But as he said this I saw him staring at the water.

"I know you're putting your ego above this but you can't survive a whole month without water!" I hissed back. He huffed in reply and turned his gaze away. I know he could survive with a minimal amount of food but he would never live without water. Those marines would never give him anything except cruel beatings.

I held the bottle up again and he begrudgingly accepted my help. After drinking the whole thing he glared at me. "You really shouldn't be doing this. They'll kill you if you get caught helping me. And I won't take the responsibility for it either!"

"Well then I guess I'll just take my chances." I stated grimly.

"Why the hell do you keep coming back, huh?! Am I that much entertainment for you?!" He spat. I opened my mouth to throw back some witty remark but stopped myself.

"What you did was the most honorable thing I've ever seen. I hold you in the utmost respect,"

(This is the part where you either remember the little girls flashback or go watch it...actually you should watch it. Cuz One Piece is just that good you can watch it over and over and over and-)

"And also I know damn well that you're stubborn enough to put yourself in such a hopeless situation... You can't defeat dehydration with willpower alone."

Mr. Zoro seemed to be thinking over my response while studying my face for any signs of mockery. "Still, what makes you so eager to risk your life on my behalf?" He said while looking around for any marines.

"I know you aren't evil; despite those rumors. You fight justly and bravely. No one else on this island would do what you did. You have to live and prove those bastard-marines wrong!" I said defiantly.

Mr. Zoro just smirked and allowed his head to hang. Without looking at me he added, "I'm flattered you see me in such a heroic light. But I would recommend against paying me anymore visits."

I smiled and turned to leave. "I know I bug you, but I can't make any promises." I called over my shoulder and climbed back over the wall.

~~~~~~/Some Night Later\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \~~~~~~

In order to avoid the marines catching wind of what I was doing, I varied when I went to help Mr. Zoro. I checked the clock in the kitchen. 3:21 am. I put a bottle of water into my backpack, and as a small gift, I added a bottle of rum and piece of fish I had just cooked. I slung the pack onto my shoulder and silently snuck out of the tavern my parents ran.

I climbed over the wall and ran over to Mr. Zoro. His head hung low and his breathing was even and slow; clearly fast asleep.

"Mr. Zoro?" I said quietly as I gently shook his shoulder. He cried out in pain at the touch and his head snapped up.

"AHH! WHA-?!" He startled, rather loudly. I shushed him and placed my hand over his mouth. In the bright moonlight I could see he had been given a black eye and new scrapes, cuts, and bruises everywhere. He growled furiously as I removed my hand.

"What the hell are you doing waking me up like that?!"

"Sorry I didn't realize you were injured there! I brought you water!" I said setting my pack down. He sighed but made no fuss about the assistance this time. I pulled out the fish after he finished.

"I brought this too. It's still hot." Mr. Zoro ate it and seemed grateful, though he didn't voice anything at all. "I also happened to have gotten my hands on something special for you." I said smiling. he had a confused look but he actually smiled as I showed him the bottle of rum.

"You don't know how bad I've craved that..." He said and, with me holding the bottle, quickly rid the bottle of its fermented substance. I laughed lightly.

"I'm sure pretty badly. You have 10 more days left, I know you can show those marines what for!" I said excitedly. Mr. Zoro just nodded. He remained silent as I put everything back into my bag.

"How old are you?" He suddenly asked.

I blushed a bit at the sudden personal question. "Oh, I'm 18..." He seemed to be dissatisfied with my answer but was silent.

"You're pretty independent and outgoing compared to others on this island. Why is it haven't left and started your own life yet?"

His question kinda caught me off guard and I found a sudden interest in the ground as I thought out how to explain my answer.

"I'd really love to journey around the world, it's just...I'm pretty sure it would chew me up and spit me out. I have absolutely no talent in anything useful. My cooking is barely tolerable, I can't fight, and my navigation is not very good either." I said being as honest as I could. "All I can really do is draw but what's the use in that?"

"It's not like people are born with those abilities. You have to train and practice to get any good." Mr. Zoro stated bluntly.

"Yeah, but it helps if you already show some sort of promise." I said with a weak smile. "Well, I'll be back in a couple days." I said as I walked away.

"What?! No! I told you to stop coming back here, damn you!" He growled. I just laughed and climbed back over the wall.

So yeah that's the first part. I apologize, my chapters are always incredibly short. But anyway I hope you liked it. Please point out any spelling or grammar errors. K. Thanks. Bye.
