Normal POV

Perona stomped towards her room with puffed cheeks. "That uncute swordsman." She muttered angrily as she slammed the door open.

She just had a fight with him after he lost his eye. She already tended the wound but he won't be able to see with it. She picked up her Kumashi doll which was given to her by the green-haired man on her birthday. "I hate that scar."

"Why is that?" a voice from behind asked.

Perona turned around hastily and saw Zoro standing there. "What are you doing in my room?" she shrieked. "I came to apologize. I didn't know that you hated my scar." He answered calmly. "But how did you come in?" she inquired. "The door was wide open." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

She stopped and then huffed. Zoro sighed and then looked at her. "So why do you hate it?" he asked. "It's just that it takes away your cuteness!" she started. 'She thinks I'm cute?' Zoro thought incredulously. "It's not cute at all. How are you gonna become the best swordsman with one eye?" she ranted.

Zoro looked at her sternly. "Are you saying it's impossible with just one eye?" he asked with a hint of anger in his voice. Perona thought about it for a moment.

"I'm not saying it's impossible but…" she mumbled the last part so quietly that Zoro didn't hear it. "Come again?" he said. "I'm worried about you, alright! I almost thought you were gonna die when Mihawk hit you if I didn't know about that crazy amount of blood you had!" Perona shouted at him. He stared at her face with shock while she stared at him, waiting for his response.

Suddenly, she felt two muscular arms hug her. The hug was quite awkward but that was because Zoro rarely hugged someone. "Sorry for making you worry." He mumbled silently and then left. He closed he door behind him and then covered his mouth. 'Did I just… hug her?' he thought with a blush.

Perona stood there in disbelief. 'Did that uncute swordsman just… hug me?' she thought. She looked at Kumashi and smiled.

"Maybe he is not cute with that scar," she said to herself. "But at least he looks cool with it."
