Hello everyone! I'm missDluvsIchigo0493 and this is my first fanfic! Well, I was bored one day so I decided to write a story, and I'm especially proud of this one because I actuallyfinished!!! XDAnyways, the plot of the story is that there is this popular live show called LIVE: IWAP, and it's about interviewing cartoon characters and anime characters. Well one day, someone who was scheduled to interview cancels at the last minute, so they had to find somebody else quick and- You know what, I don't want to give any more spoilers, so just read the story! (There's an OC, sort of AU, and Zoro is not OOC)
LIVE: IWAP (guest star: Roronoa Zoro!)
Oh yeah, in case you don't know what certain Japanese words are-
Nanidogah: not 100% sure, but I think it means what the heck
Mugiwara: straw hat
Nani: what
Baka: idiot, moron, etc.
Oi: hey
ENJOY!!!

"And we're live in 1..2..3.."
"Hello everyone and welcome to LIVE: IWAP, Interviews With Animated People! I'm Constance Howards and with me today is the world famous pirate-hunter-turned pirate from the hit manga and anime series, One Piece…RORONOA ZORO!!!" (the crowd goes wild and there is a huge round of applause!!!) "Yes, thank you all very much! Now today, we have brought him here to answer some of the questions many fans have been dying to find out since the very beginning. Will the secrets of One Piece finally be revealed? Don't touch that remote, and stay tuned!"
(45 minutes before the before the show aired.)
"Constance! Constance! We have bad news!"
"Yes? What is it?"
"We're sorry but Porky Pig cancelled on us last night."
"WHAT?! WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TELL ME?!"
"Oh, I don't know. I guess word didn't get around…"
"QUICK!!! GET SOMEONE FAMOUS NOW!!! WE ONLY HAVE 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOW AIRS!!!"
"We already did."
"Really? Who?"
"Roronoa Zoro."
"…Who?"
"Roronoa Zoro, y'know, from One Piece."
"What?"
"Never mind, he famous towards teens and young adults."
"Well, most of IWAP's ratings are towards that age group. Alright, we'll do him. Where is he?"
"Right here. GUARDS!"
(In walks in two buff bodyguards with Zoro, who is sound asleep.)
"THIS is Zoro?"
"Yep."
"I'm supposed to interview some weird-looking teenager with green hair?" (A/N: I DON'T THINK ZORO LOOKS WEIRD! HE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!!!)
"Well, based upon what my 15 year old daughter told me, he is very calm, serious, and pretty interesting."
"Oh well, it's better than nothing."
(Back to the present.)
"So, Zoro-san," (snoring)
"Um….Zoro…" (more snoring…)
"ZORO!"
"Nanidogah?"
"Thank you for joining us today."
"What, where am I? ANSWER ME DAMMIT!!!"
"Ha ha ha…isn't he hilarious?" (people in the audience laugh, Zoro gets this pissed look on his face)
"Now, how old are you?"
"19."
"Really? Wow, you don't look like you're 19."
"Um…yeah, okay."
"So Zoro, how did you learn of the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk?"
"Huh? Oh, I dunno. One day, I left my dojo to go into town to get some rum and while I was there, I overheard these guys talking about this famous swordsman named Hawkeye Mihawk. I asked them a few questions and, BOOM, there you go."
"Fascinating!"
"…I guess…"
"So, Zoro, do you mind being called Zoro?"
"Um…no, it's my name.."
"Amazing! So, speaking of names, did you know that some people call you Zolo thanks to a company called (censored)." (A/N: We all know it's 4kids, but they did so many terrible things to One Piece that I felt it shouldn't even be mentioned at all.)
"Meh. I don't care."
"I'm astonished My my, it seems as if you don't have a sensitive bone in your body. You're the 'tough guy'."
"Uh huh. Yeah, can I take a nap?"
"Not until we're done with this interview. We've still got about 45 minutes."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
"So Zoro, many fans consider you to be the first mate of the Mugiwara Crew. Your response?"
"Nani? I have fans? But I'm a pirate! Hm...now that you mention it, I do kinda act like the first mate huh? Never really thought about it until now."
"Speaking of thinking, although you have many fans- in fact you consistently rank second in fan polls only behind your captain, Monkey D. Luffy- they can all mostly agree that even though you're pretty logical, intelligent-wise, well, you're not exactly the 'brightest of the bunch'. They say that on a scale from 1 to 6 on the intelligence scale, you're a 2."
"Nani? I'm the second most popular?! HA! TAKE THAT SANJI YOU DART-BROW COOKIN PANSY!!! Heh…Oi oi, whaddaya mean I rank 2 out of 6, and what does 'the brightest of the bunch' have to do with being intelligent?"
"Hm…I see what they mean...anyways I noticed that you called this person Sanji a "Dart-brow cookin' pansy'. Care to explain?"
"Ugh, do I have to?"
"It would be much appreciated."
"Fine. Sanji is this really annoying asshole who-"
"I'm sorry, but did you just call this Sanji person an-"
"Asshole? Yeah."
"Oh, okay…" (sweat drops)
"He's this really annoying asshole who is always flirting with women and thinks he's a prince. And he treats the ladies all nice and everything and treats the rest of us like shit." (A/N: This is Zoro speaking! I love Sanji!)
"Hm...sounds like you're jealous of Sanji."
"As if…you try living with this guy and you would understand. Oh no wait, you wouldn't cuz you're a woman. Meh."
"Hee-hee, this Sanji character sounds like a gentleman!"
"Whatever. On to the next question so I can leave."
"Which brings us to another question, why are you so angry, impatient, and serious all the time?"
"BAKA!! I'M NOT ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME!!!"
"Hm…sounds like you got angry just now. Have you ever considered anger management classes?"
"I JUST TOLD YOU I'M NOT ANGRY!!! I'M PISSED OFF BY THESE STUPID QUESTIONS AND I WANT TO RETURN TO MY CREW!!!"
"Um.. Okay…Tea Zoro-san?"
"Got any rum?"
"No."
"Fine."
(While sipping tea.) "So Zoro, you like to drink rum? Y'know that kills brain cells, right?"
(Zoro shrugs)
"And that's probably why you rank 2 out of 6..."
"Doubt it. A true swordsman doesn't let rum, booze, or better yet, ANYTHING determine what he is as a person or what he does in life."
"Strong words Zoro…" (turns to the camera)
"Well, this has been…um…inconceivable, ( to say the least) but if you think that this is the end, you haven't seen nothing yet! Stay tuned as we unlock more facts about Zoro and One Piece right after the break."
"NANI?! BAKA!!! I NEED TO GET BACK TO MY CR-" ("accidentally" cuts Zoro off to proceed with commercials)
