So yeah, this is my SECOND multichapter fic woot~ And there will be LEMONS in later chapters (like all my other stories)... but fanfiction's no good if it ain't rated M, lol XD

Zoro slashed through the marines, destroying their white and blue ship in the process while Sanji took care of any stragglers who tried to escape to other ships.

About an hour before then, 3 marine ships had assaulted the Thousand Sunny so the crew sent their 'monster trio' to teach them a lesson.

As he let loose another Oni Giri Zoro overheard two marines...

"Once Ikuto uses his devil fruit powers on one of them, the battle is ours!" said the first one.

"Haha! Let's see them fight us when their's blind!" The other continued.

Zoro's eyes narrowed to slits, bolting off to the other ship to warn Luffy and Sanji. When he got their, a cocky looking marine was walking across the deck towards Sanji who didn't even notice him. Zoro assumed this was "Ikuto", and his theory was proven when the man began to charge some sort of beam.

"COOK! MOVE!" Zoro bellowed as Ikuto shot a ray of bright blue light in the cook's direction. Sanji turned around and said "What? Marimo, what's wro-" before he could finish the word 'wrong', Zoro smashed into him sending the blonde flying.

"AAAAAGH!" Zoro yelled as the blue light seemed to swallow him. Sanji's eyes went wide as saucers when he saw his crewmate collapse to the ground, unconscious.

"ZORO! DAMN IT, YOU BASTARD!" Luffy screamed at the marine from across the ship as he charged forward, his arms dragging behind "GOMU GOMU NO..."

Before Ikuto could mutter "...oh shit" Luffy sent him flying with a final cry of "BAZOOKA!"

After Ikuto vanished into the clouds, sending all the weaker marines into panic, Luffy ran over to his fallen nakama. "Sanji! We gotta get him to Chopper!" he said in a worried tone. Sanji nodded and hefted Zoro onto his shoulders.

The two knocked the few remaining marines overboard before leaping onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny, Sanji placed Zoro on the grassy deck.

"Marimo! Wake up! Damn it! ZORO WAKE UP!" he said in a panic as he shook Zoro's shoulder. Zoro groaned a bit before slumping over. Sanji and Luffy looked down with worried expressions.

"SHIT! CHOPPER!" Luffy yelled to his nakama.

Chopper ran over hearing his name "Luffy what's wrong?" he asked.

Luffy then tried explaining "There was this marine! And a BEAM! It shot Sanji but it didn't 'cause Zoro ran! REALLY FAST! And it hit Zoro! BLUE LIGHT! A BEAM!"he said the last part loudly and full of panic.

Sanji mentally facepalmed at his captain's failure of an explaination "I was fighting some weaker guys when this shitty devil fruit user attacked us, he shot some sort of beam at me but the marimo pushed me out of the way just in time... but he got hit instead."

Chopper nodded as he looked Zoro over "Well, I don't see any damage... a few bruises but not a scratch on him which is strange 'cause he usually comes back drowning in his own blood..."

Luffy nodded "So... he'll be fine when he wakes up..?" Chopper nodded and Luffy's shoulders sagged in relief.

For a minute, he thought Zoro was seriously hurt because of him. He shrugged the thought off, remembering Zoro would be fine.

"Nnng..." Zoro moaned, cracking an eye open.

Luffy looked down "Oh! Zoro woke up already! Does Zoro hurt anywhere?" he asked.

Zoro blinked, "How long was I out?" Chopper answered "Not long... five minutes I think"

A confused look crossed Zoro's face, "What? That can't be possbile... it's pitch black" he said as he looked around, only seeing black.

Sanji raised a curly eyebrow "uh marimo... it's the middle of the day"

Zoro then remembered those two marines... one of them said something about Luffy having to fight them blind. Of course, in the end the attack hit him not Luffy. Wait did that mean..?

"Guys..." Zoro began "... I think I'm blind"

.o0O0o.

Zoro stepped out of the infirmary, finally done doing medical tests with Chopper. Unfortunatly, all the results told them the same thing: Zoro was blind. Even more unfortunatly, as soon as Zoro walked out of the infirmary, he walked face-first into the wall.

"OW! Damn it!" he cursed, rubbing his sore nose. Chopper sighed and grew into heavy point, "I know you don't like being carried but it would probably be even more embarrassing if you walked into a chair or something" he stated.

With a sigh, Zoro replied "Yeah your right... last thing I need is the shitty cook harassing me about walking into stuff"

Chopper smiled a bit, happy that Zoro for once wasn't arguing, and picked up Zoro bridal stlye, carrying him to the kitchen where their nakama were waiting.

Nami giggled a bit at Zoro being carried how he was but Chopper shot them all (especially Sanji) a do-not-harass-him look.

He placed Zoro on his seat beside Luffy before shrinking down and running off to his own spot to gain everyone's attention.

"EVERYONE! Th... thanks for your attention! Um, basically yes. Zoro is blind, but, it is possible for him to get his sight back! I'll be doing regular check ups on him but in the meantime some one will have to be with him at all times to make sure he doesn't get lost, hurt, or anything else like that" Chopper explained.

Sanji glanced over to Zoro. His one un-scarred eye was now a pale seafoam green, it looked so unatural compared to his natural deep, emerald colored iris.

He felt awful... this was his fault. Damn marimo, making him feel guilty. Maybe if he helped the swordsman he would feel better. Hmm, worth a shot.

"I'll help" Sanji forced the words out. No one else complained, not wanted to deal with the stubborn swordsman.

Zoro creased his brow 'why is the shitty cook helping me? Weird...' he thought.

Sanji stood up, "C'mon marimo, let's go" he said as he grabbed Zoro's arm and dragged him away "Oi! Where are you taking me!" questioned Zoro.

Sanji rolled his eyes, "We're going to have a bath dumbass. Your covered in blood from those marines and I'm a little messy from the fight as well."

With a sigh of defeat, Zoro followed. He wasn't enjoying being covered in marine blood, so a bath was probably a good idea.

So the reluctant swordsman and the guilty cook made their way down to the bathroom to clean up.

Had no idea how to end this chapter so I just slapped that ending sentance on here. AND NO, as much as I wish I could... I will not have any bath sex next chapter (Damn, now I'm gonna write a one-shot about that) so they need romancyness first right? :D

LEAVE A REVIEW! ...it's not like you got anything better to do .
