Zoro: Or me glares at author


The hot sun beat down on Zoro's neck as he walked through the busy market place. He wiped a few beads of sweat off his forehead "God Damn its so hot out" he complained. "I think I'll get a drink or two" Zoro thought as he stepped into one of the local bars and nonchalantly perched himself on one of the open bar stools. "Look at these misfits" he thought to himself looking around the dimly lit bar. The place reeked of cigarettes and old wood, a few men were on the opposite end of the counter quietly engaging in what seemed to be a very interesting conversation. Another man was with a rather lanky woman was sitting in a shadowy corner taking a long drag on a cigarette and blowing out smoke rings.

"What can I get you?" the bartender said gruffly while he polished a dirty glass with a rag.

"Eh I'll have whatever's good" Zoro replied in a tired voice

"Right then" the bartender said as he turned around and started fiddling with one of the many kegs that lined the wall behind the counter.

Zoro lazily looked up at the ceiling; he could see small clouds of dust swirl in the air between cracked shingles letting in a few rays of sunshine. "What a dump, I wonder where Luffy's gone… maybe everyone else has found something interesting to do."

His thoughts were interrupted by a mug of alcohol that slid across the bar top to him. Zoro reached out and stopped the mug with his hand, "thanks" he murmured and then took a long draught of his drink. He pondered for a moment as he let the alcohol swirl across his tongue "cheap ass beer" he scowled. The men at the end of the counter got up and made their way to the door, Zoro heard a soft thumping noise as one of them walked. He was curious so he casually glanced behind him one of them men had a peg leg. Zoro sighed "I really hope he's not a pirate... that'd be really stereotypical" he softly chuckled to himself at his joke. Zoro shifted his weight on the stool trying to get comfy "these things are hard as rocks, no wonder no ones here."

The man at the table started conversing with his friend "yeah he's the one on that wanted poster over there." The man whispered as he pointed to a wall covered in wanted posters "120 million!" The woman said in a shaky tone, "what the hell?! That's like huge!" The man covered her mouth and suushed her.

"This could be some fun…" Zoro thought grinning, he turned his head around and flashed the two an evil toothy smile.

"Wanna go some where else?" the man asked in fear, his friend eagerly agreed and the two ran out of the bar.

"heh wasn't expecting that to happen" Zoro laughed as he took another gulp of his "cheap ass beer."

"Hey buddy laugh after you pay" the bar tender said holding out his hand, gesturing for Zoro to pay.

"Jeez just wait a minute" he thrust his hand into his pocket and fished around for some money. A puzzled expression wiped the smirk off his face, "where the hell?" He said, just as he spoke Zoro remembered something from earlier that day…

FLASHBACK

"Zoro look over there, what is that?" Nami asked leaning over the rail of the Going Merry pointing to the horizon.

"Huh what?" Zoro got up and looked to where Nami was pointing, right when he turned away her hand snaked into his pocket and pulled a few bills out of his pocket. "I didn't see anything" he replied

"Oh hmm maybe it was a bird…oops thanks Zoro!" Nami cheerfully said as she skipped off.

"Bird my ass…whatever" Zoro said as he sat down and leaned against the base of the mast.

END FLASHBACK

"God damn Nami!!" Zoro yelled "Money stealing ass!!"

The bar tender quizzically looked him "got money or not?"

Zoro gave him a sheepish and somewhat proud look "…no apparently not."

"Well then" he started "guess you have to do a few chores for me."

Zoro looked at him "do you see that?" he pointed to his poster

"Yes, yes I do and quite frankly I don't give a damn" the bar tender said in a nonchalant manner. He led Zoro back to the kitchen "start here, just take out these bags of trash then you can leave."

Zoro stared at the mountain of trash "great" he sarcastically said while he rolled his eyes.

The bartender shut the door behind him leaving Zoro with the trash, "how does a place have this much trash…it's a frekin bar!" he said incredulously as he grabbed a bag and proceeded to work.

About half an hour later Zoro was dragging the last bag of garbage out to the dumpster when he heard a noise. "What the?" he said and dropped the bag; he heard it again "whimpering?" Zoro said confused. He looked behind on of the many boxes in the alley and discovered a little girl. "WOAH!" he yelled and jumped back in surprise, the girl made another whimper and curled herself into a tiny ball. Zoro felt a sudden pang of sympathy for her so he cautiously leaned over and poked her "hey umm girl are you ok?"

"mhgnmn" she whimpered again and started shivering

"Hey" he said and poked her one more "are you ok?"

One large blue eye fluttered open and stared back at him "that was creepy" he thought

Zoro looked at the girl, she appeared to be about four years old, her long black hair was pulled into two low pigtails, she had no shoes and her raggedy brown dress hung limply on her small body. Out of nowhere she sat up and held out both of her arms as if to say "pick me up." Zoro just stood there for a moment wondering if he should actually pick her up, the little girl pouted with her bottom lip hanging out and made the motion again. Not knowing what to do, Zoro wrapped his arms around her and hoisted her up into his arms. She scrambled into a position where he was literally cradling her and laid her small head on his chest. "What do I do now!?!?" He panicked "I guess I should take her back to the ship and then go from there."

Every once in a while she would whimper or cling to his shirt "poor kid" he thought. As they neared the ship Zoro looked to see if anyone was around, fortunately for him his crew was still out. "Phew" he sighed with relief "the last thing I need is for Nami to ride my ass about where I got a kid." He climbed aboard and silently made his way to the girl's bedroom, "here" Zoro said gently "sleep." She gave him a weak smile as she collapsed onto the soft bed and fell asleep. He draped the covers over her shoulders and sat against the wall wondering where to go from there.
