Summary:
Normalcy was something that the Kingsman - Japan HQ enjoys once in a while. But that routine is threatened when Agent Gawain in his trip back home accidentally intercepts in a conversation. This led for the HQ to uncover an underground organization called Baroque Works planning to overthrow the whole Kingsman. One Piece Kingsman!au. Gundam!au. ZoRo with the hint of LuNa.
Prologue:
"Agent, you're getting out of the perimeter. Get the hell back in here and cover Lancelot!"
Roronoa Zoro or more commonly known in his pseudo name 'Gawain of the Round Table' grits his teeth as Merlin's nagging voice echoes in his communication earphone.
"I know. I know." He heaved in frustration as he maneuvered his motorbike in accordance to the coordinates currently flashing in his eye contacts. From time to time, he had this urge to scratch his eyes, irritated at the random images flashing. He preferred the glasses but Merlin insisted he used contacts since he was more prone to accidents and the nagging technician does not want any of his devices be ruined by his uncontrolled temper. Still he does not understand why he was prohibited to use his Knightmare frame in this mission.
Meh. Whatever. He was the one doing all the work here, after all. Merlin could complain all he wants.
"If you know that, you should have never stray away from the target. God! Why do I have to remind you every time you're out in the field." The line was cut the same time Lancelot's white Knightmare frame came in his vision.
An unnecessary sigh escaped his lips once the whole perimeter of buildings.. err or the lack thereof came in full view. What hurt his pride more is that he was not there to help Lancelot fight but rather baby sit him, making sure no unnecessary damage was done. But seeing the wide parameter that was previously filled with tall buildings now gone, he was very sure of the one-hour sermon Merlin would give him the moment he would return back to HQ. One surely would be his poor directional skills.
"Oi, oi. Lancelot. Stop being so hyper." He muttered more to himself than to his comrade.
"Gawain? Is that you Gawain? Thank God I'm finally connected! My knightmare has shut down and when the power has finally been returned, I can't connect to Merlin and to the other agents!"
Well, that was weird.
"Can't connect? But I was just talking to Merlin earlier." He reasoned out.
"What? My knightmare frame has been doing weird functions since the power has returned. I can't control him anymore."
So the rampaging was not Lancelot's doing? What the hell is happening here. Merlin's connection with all agents around the same coordinates are all the same. If one agents lose connection, then all other agents using the same connection will also lose theirs. But Merlin just gave him Lancelot's coordinates right?
He noticed a flash of silver above him before widening his eyes. "Shit!"
He swerved his motorbike to the left where few rubbles were located but the silver bullet grazed his outer thigh. "Merlin what are the coordinates of the enemy?"
A moment of silence followed and he take this opportunity to unsheathe his guns from the both side of his motorbike. He's not really used in using guns as his knightmare is specializing in three swords style but this could do at the moment.
Instead of Merlin's usual high pitched voice, Gawain shivered at the icy, smooth voice echoing in his radio. "East at exactly four o'clock, hidden in the remains of a building."
The screen on his left eye flashed a certain coordinates before the screen on his right eye flashed a moving object approaching the coordinates previously shown.
"Damn it." He moved the fastest he can but was a little bit too late. The coordinates given to him was not of his enemy's coordinates but his own and he was just shown a missile coming his way.
The enemy was making fun of them and he can't even contact Merlin or the HQ. Damn it all.
"Ah, that was sad. And I thought you would see through my voice impersonation. It seems like a Kingsman blood is still running in my system." A soft chuckled followed before this time a clearer voice cut in. A voice Zoro would recognized in a heartbeat. "Long time no see, Agent Gawain. Send my regards to Arthur and Merlin."
He knew the voice was just a distraction but Gawain was rooted in his place as he digests everything that just happened. A certain memory, the one that come from the deepest part of his soul, those that he wanted so much to forget, wanting to suppress came bubbling up the surface.
"Gawain, move! Damn it." Lancelot's warning just went out of his ears – connection with Merlin has been restored it seems – as he lay unmoving, watching five missiles coming at his way.
Author Notes:
Hello guys! Zeichi here, "Z" for short~ This is my first time writing a ZoRo fic – actually my first One Piece fic ever even if I've been in the fandom since grade school (please don't compute my age T.T). English is not my native language and I'm not really confident with my writing skills. The inspiration for this fic was obviously the movie "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and eventually those fictional novels about King Arthur and his Knights of Round Table. Few animes have also adapted this concept. Fate/Stay Night and its prequel Fate Zero and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion are the ones I know.
Heads up for those who are not familiar with the movie/animes mentioned. Of Secret Knights and Betrayal will for most part have the same plot as the Kingsman movie in which the Straw Hats and other OP characters will be agents and spies. I've adopted the knightmare frame concept from Code Geass, so instead of the Straw Hats fighting by themselves, they will be using these knightmare frames with skills tailored to the original One Piece anime, such as if Zoro uses swords, his knightmare will be somehow along those lines.
I will be frank to everyone as well, especially to the ZoRo fans. ZoRo couple is actually not my OTP, I'm more of a Lawbin, and one of the reason I don't ship them as much as Lawbin was the age gap of Zoro and Robin. I will apologize ahead to all ZoRo fanatics if this reason of mine will somewhat offend you. I'm sorry. Zoro and Robin are amazing characters and Robin being my favorite in OP and Zoro coming in fourth but I can't really ship them that much. Although I have to admit that ZoRo aesthetics really inspires amazing plotlines. That is why I'm writing this fic (hehe) although I will not be using the "Robin's 9 year age gap with Zoro" dynamics. Robin is still older than Zoro here but only somewhere in between 4 to 5 years' age gap. But rest assured, this fic will focus on our beloved ZoRo couple.
Updates will be infrequent since I'm actually working (T.T Someone needs to pay bills, after all) But I will be finishing this fic. Estimated number of chapters will be 10 but subject to change if my plot bunnies decided to play a game.
So, yeah, rant aside. Enjoy reading guys!
P.S. Feel free to message me, I don't mind. ^^
