When the Wolves come to play
Chapter 1 –Zoro's P.O.V-
*Whine*
Another of those damn creatures has just been launched off the edge of Wado Ichimonji, whining pathetically as it smashed into a tree with a sickening thud. Neither of us have any clue where the pack came from. All we know is that there here and they're pissing me off. The wolves are mainly after Chopper, well that's just a bit obvious considering he's a reindeer and they're goddamn wolves. But judging by the way that they circle around Chopper and the amount of saliva on the floor, I'd say the over-sized mutts are hungry. I've started to notice how one by one, the wolves are beginning to ignore me and join the ever expanding ring around our doctor. I think the little guy has noticed this too because he's flipped out again and used one of the yellow pills, shouting "RUMBLE!" The wolves must be paying more attention to Chopper because of the blood pouring from his wounds, they must have caught scent of it and want the easier prey.
But there's something I don't get about these wolves, something's not quite right about them. First of is their size, they're unrealistically huge. Alot of them are equal in size to brook. Second is their fur, this is just a weird thought but the colour of their fur is odd, it's similar to the hair colour of the average human, come on, one of them is ginger and there are a few that are blonde, blonder than the dartbrow if that's even possible. Last but not least their eyes, now they seem almost certaintly human. Now that I think about it, the witch may have mentioned something about that earlier; I'm not too sure...
/Start of flashback\
"Ok everyone listen, I've heard some disturbing rumours from the people on the last Island. If anything they warned us AWAY from it. Anyway... ARE YOU IDIOTS EVEN LISTENING?"
Ever since they heard the next island was fast approaching, Luffy was screaming ISLAND at the top of hs lungs while Usopp went into one of his elaborate tales about a how he saved an island that was cursed never to see the light of day, meanwhile Sanji and Zoro were fighting yet again over something or other, origional insults being thrown at each other with each clash. The only person who seemed to be paying even the slightest bit of attention to what Nami was trying to say was Robin, although it was hard to tell because she had her nose buried into another book.
"WILL YOU IDIOTS SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN!"
By now Nami had multiple veins protruding from her forehead and was about to electrocute everyone within an inch of their lives with her thunderbolt tempo when she was stopped by Sanji, who was swooning over her yet again shouting "MELLORINE!" At least she had someones attention.
"So then, what's with these rumours you're so worried about then?"
Zoro raised an unconcerned eyebrow, curious as to what she had to say. Luffy and the others had stopped their shenanigans and were paying attention to her, curiosity overruling their excitement. Even the hearts had left Sanji's visible eye and he looked concerned.
Nami released a stressed sigh. Why did she decide to join these idiots again?
"Basically the people on the Island have been warning us away from the island, they were so afraid of the place they were hiding at the very mention of the island. Which is never a good sign. They said that that if we do decide to head to the next island, watch for the wolves that stalk your path. When I asked what they mean by that they said that the island was mainly populated by werewolves."
The crew looked at the navigator with shocked expressions; the only people unfazed by the news were Luffy who had his trademark too-big-for-his-face grin plastered on his face and Roronoa Zoro who was skeptical.
"Werewolves? COOL! Nami, how long till we reach the next Island?"
This earned the unfortunate Straw hat wearing rubber-boy a kick to the head from Sanji.
"IDIOT! Do you even know what werewolves are? Anyway you didn't let sweet Nami finish what she was about to say! This could be serious!"
Sanji appeared to be very agitated as he lost some of his composure. Luffy noticed this and quickly shut up and paid attention.
"Werewolves are basically humans with the ability to morph into a giant wolf, their extremely savage and if you run into a pack of them, you're pretty much done for, much like the lapins at drum island. Also if you get bitten you become one, so avoid the teeth at all costs." A glare was directed towards the resident swordsman, who seemed to be prone to injury.
"They live on one particular island, the people on the last island refused to give me the name of the island, all I know about it is that it's the shape of a crescent moon, there is a huge forest that cover the entire island apart from the mountains, which are topped with snow"
Nami explained this with a serious look marring her pretty face. Everyone appeared to be as serious as she was, except for Zoro who was trying not to laugh.
"Werewolves huh? Tch, give me a break, that kind of thing doesn't even exist."
Zoro said as he walked over to the crows nest to train. Clearly mocking Nami's judgement.
"DID ALL THAT MOSS AFFECT YOUR BRAIN OR SOMETHING! HOW DARE YOU MOCK NAMI IN SUCH A WAY CAN'T YOU SEE THA-"
The hatch slammed shut before Sanji could finish ranting.
Releasing a heavy sigh that she didn't know she was holding, Nami turned to the livid chef;
"Sanji, just leave him, you know that he would'nt listen either way. Chopper if he leaves the Island, stay with him please."
/ End Flashback\ (Returning to Zoro's P.O.V)
Oh crap, what she said was true. But something like that couldn't possibly exist right?
The wolves started to tighten the ring around the two of us , it's at times like this I wish that luffy or that pervert-cook was here to give us some support. every now and again they snap at Chopper's heels, making him back up a little to avoid the huge gaping jaws of the animals. Before i knew what was going on I was in front of Chopper as a wolf lunged for his throat he won't be able to dodge this one, even if he transformed, they would maul him within seconds and I can't allow that to happen.
"ZORO!"
