To the straw had pirates Nakama means you're more than friends and more like family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten (a cookie to everyone that gets that reference). But what will happen when one of the straw hats lose their memory of who they are and who their friends are. Now Luffy has to choose between loosing that member to save the crew and saving him. And luffy plans on saving the poor crew member but a marine captain by the name of Arashi is going to throw a monkey wrench into Luffy's plan. Don't know the pairing yet so you can decide what you think the pairing is as you read ^_~

Me: O_O…TT_TT he's right I am worthless! (Spirit breaks) WAhhhhh! Please enjoy my new story *walks away sobbing*
normal p.o.v.
"Sir reporting in!" a young marine man saluted in front of a desk.
"Yes what is it lieutenant." A voice asked sharply from behind a large backed swivel chair.
"Sir the Straw Hat Crew has just dock on the island and are about to disembark into the town Sir!" the marine lieutenant shouted in response to the person behind the desk. The voice behind the desk chuckled.
"Good is he disembarking into the town as well?" the voice asked a hint of eagerness in the voice.
"Yes sir!"
"Good. Good. Dismissed I will go greet our guests myself." The lieutenant nodded, bowed and left the room shutting the door behind him. The chair turned around so it faced the desk. At the desk sat a tall man with long dark green hair and black eyes. He was muscular and well built. He wore a captain outfit and a marine ball cap. He raised his hand and examined the long silver knife in it. The knife had a long scratch down the length of the blade toward the hilt it had a single word 'ZORO' scratched into it.
"Lets play a little game Zoro and see's who wins shall we." The man threw the knife over his shoulder with well aimed practice as it embedded itself in the wall in the center of a single wanted poster. Roronora Zoro's wanted poster.
Zoro's p.o.v.
"Now Zoro don't wander off and get lost." Nami told the green haired swordsman that stood growling next to her.
"I don't get lost damn witch!" the swordsman cursed at her immediately following his comment a jet black shoe implanted itself in the side of his head.
"Don't talk to Nami-Swan that way you shitty marimo!" Sanji yelled and soon both men began fighting swords and kicks and a stream of insults and curses ensued between the pair. Nami groaned annoyed at the normal antics. She turned to the rest of the little crew that gathered to get supplies from the town they docked at just a few hours ago The crew that went into town included Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Robin, Ussop. Luffy, chopper, and Brooke, stayed on guard duty on the ship.
"Alright we all know what we need to do and get correct?" Nami asked looking the crew in the eye.
"Hai me and Ussop-bro will go get what we need so we can keep the ship SUPA!" Franky replied.
"Yep but the great captain Ussop doesn't need any help!" Ussop put on a smug look on his face and cracked a smile.
"I, cook-san and navigator-san will go get our supplies while swordsman-san get the supplies he and doctor-san needs." Robin answered with a slight smile.
"Robin-chwan knows everything as expected from such a great beauty!" Sanji began his noodle dance around Nami and Robin calling out 'mellorine!' as he danced around them with hearts coming out of his eyes.
"Ero-cook." Zoro muttered under his breath but loud enough for the blonde to hear him.
"What did you say!" the blonde demanded.
"ENOUGH!" Nami yelled forcing herself between them before another fight ensued.
"Alright everyone listen up, 2 hours is all you have to get what you need and return to the ship, understand?" Nami looked them all in the eye.
"Hai!" the crew replied as they went their separate ways into town. Zoro went on his own to get some more polish for his swords and get the object on the list that chopper gave him. Most of the list included bandages and herbs that zoro never heard of.
"Now where the hell am I going to find all of this stuff?" Zoro sighed frustrated. He looked around for a place that might carry the medical supplies they needed. Looking to his right he found a building with the words 'medicine' on its outside sign.
"Well this is a good place to start I guess." Zoro stalked into the building with a scowl frozen on his face.
Marine p.o.v.
"So lieutenant where is our guest now?" the captain asked as they walked briskly through the streets of town.
"Captain Arashi sir it's reported that he just entered the medicine shop down town sir." The lieutenant informed Arashi as he ran to keep up with the man's long strides.
"Very well you may leave now lieutenant and tell the men to leave the straw hat crew alone, if they interfere my plan will be ruined." Arashi instructed as he turned down a side street that lead to the store the swordsman was in.
"As you wish captain Arashi!" the lieutenant headed in the direction the pair had just come from and headed back to the base.
"Now Roronora the real game will begin." Arashi laughed.
zoro p.o.v.
Zoro walked out of the medicine store with 2 bags full of Chopper's supplies perched on his shoulders. Zoro was glad the man in the store knew what was on the list because the swordsman sure as hell didn't. He walked down the road and checked the money he had left that Nami had given him and he had just enough to get the polish he needed for his swords. A shadow fell across Zoro's path; zoro raised an eyebrow as he glanced up at the man blocking his path was a tall man with long dark green hair and black eyes. Telling by the cloths and hat he wore he was a captain of the marine's on the island.
"Hello Roronora." Arashi greeted with a nasty smile on his face as he looked Zoro straight in his eyes. Zoro didn't say anything but glared at the man with a scowl set on his face.
"Would you mind joining me at the base Roronora?" Arashi asked with a smirk.
"I'm going to have to decline" Zoro growled back as he shifted his load to one arm and off his should so one of his hands were free to grab his swords.
"Ah that's too bad." Arashi sighed but smiled all the same and pulled one of his hands out of his pocket as lunged at Zoro. Zoro dropped one of his bags and grabbed Wado from its sheath and drew it and stopped the man's hand. Zoro blinked and Arashi was not there, the green haired swordsman spun around as the captain placed two fingers on the swordsman forehead. The next thing Zoro was aware of was he couldn't move any part of his body, there was a dull pain in his head as he felt himself falling and the concrete rushed up to meet him and his head smacked the ground and he fell unwillingly into unconsciousness.
"Damn….it" Zoro cursed as the world blackened
normal p.o.v.
"Where is he!" Nami screamed as the crew had gathered on the deck of the Sunny, all but one was accounted for which just happened to be a certain green haired first mate. Luffy sat cross legged on the grassy part of the deck playing cards with Chopper and Ussop.
"Maybe he got lost?" Chopper suggested as he placed a card down on the pile.
"For 6 hours that still a bit much even for swordsman-san's standards." Robin countered it was true zoro was only lost for 2 or 3 hours at a time not 6 going on 7. It was almost midnight now and the crew was getting worried.
"Damn that shitty marimo making my beautiful Nami-swan worry." Sanji growled from where he leaned against the railing of the ship looking out toward the town the ship was docked at. Even Sanji had to admit he was getting slightly worried about the moss head.
"What could be taking Zoro bro so long?" Franky wondered from the upper deck where he leaned looking at the deck below. Brooke played his violin quietly. Nami paced back and forth on the lower deck. Luffy remained oddly quiet through the last 6 hours and hadn't yelled for meat from Sanji or bugged for someone to play with him or whined. He sat quietly playing card with his hat covering his eyes so nobody could see his expression.
"Maybe he just fell asleep somewhere and just lost track of time." Ussop whispered as he took another card from the pile and added it to his hand. Silence ensued and suffocated the crew as it stretched on for another hour. Luffy slammed his cards down on the deck causing the entire crew to jump 12 feet in the air.
"We are going into town to look for Zoro." Luffy declared with a growl in his voice. Anger was written all over their captains face.
"Me, Sanji, and Franky will go into town and look for him. Chopper you stay here just in case we get back and he's hurt the rest of you guard the ship." Luffy ordered as he pressed his treasured hat tighter onto his head. Sanji pulled out a cigarette and lit it and took a long drag from it and puffed the smoke out. The 3 men disembarked the ship.
"When one of us finds him contact the others by den den mushi." Luffy ordered the three nodded then took off running in different directions into the empty deserted town.
sanji p.o.v.
Sanji ran through the northern part of the deserted town looking down streets and down deserted allies and inside stores and behind stands.
'God damn it marimo where the hell did you go off to now! The whole crew is worried sick about you.' Sanji ran faster as the feeling of dread began to build up in his chest. They all knew that even the directionally challenged shit head was never gone this long maybe 1 or 2 hours 3 at the most. But 7 hours was nerve racking. Even though Sanji hated the moss head they were still Nakama and friendly rivals even if they didn't admit it. So naturally the blonde was worried. Sanji ducked into another alley his eyes darting back and forth scanning the trash for anything green or that looked like a katana that the shit head carried around with him 24/7.
"MARIMO!" Sanji called out for the fifth time the only thing that answered him was his own echo bouncing off the cold walls of the town. Nothing rustled no wind blew the town was almost literally dead inside. Worry built up in the cook just like in thriller bark.
Luffy p.o.v.
Luffy searched the western part of the town. Luffy was angry, not at Zoro but whatever kept his first mate and best friend from coming back because before they got off the ship Zoro promised he would come back and zoro always came through.
Flashback…
"Yeah a new island! And it smell of adventure!" luffy screamed as he ran around the ship with Chopper and Ussop singing 'new island, new adventure!' Zoro was resting against the mast with the list Chopper has given him in his hand and stared at it with a confused frown. Luffy stopped dancing around the ship and looked the swordsman in the eye with a huge grin on his face.
"Oi Zoro! This is going to be fun what do you think?" Luffy asked laughing clapping his feet together.
"Luffy I think you should stay on the ship." Zoro muttered to the raven haired teen.
"Why? It looks so fun Zoro." The teen whined the smile vanished from his face.
"People recognize you too easily and there is word that there is a marine base on the joined island." Zoro told him firmly with a straight face and a flat voice.
"Fine but you'll come back right?" Luffy asked with a pout on his face.
"Yeah why wouldn't I?" Zoro groaned
"Promise?" Luffy pressed
"What?" Zoro back up as luffy leaned in closer Zoro's face turned red with embarrassment
"Promise promise!" Both luffy and now chopper Begged him.
"Ok fine I promise!" Zoro yelled as both Luffy and Chopper had stars in their eyes.
End flashback….
Zoro had promised! He promised and he always came through with his promises. Luffy bolted through the town searching for his best friend. He was nowhere that luffy could see.
"ZORO! Zoro! Where are you!" Luffy yelled into the night but nothing answered. A chill ran through luffy as he continued he search for his missing friend god how he hopped nothing bad happened.
Franky p.o.v.
Franky ran into the western part of town as fast as his long legs could carry him. Franky could see why the whole crew was worried about Zoro-bro. he was what seemed like the big brother figure that protected everyone. Franky had seen how dedicated this boy was to the crew even if had hadn't been with them long. The kid risked his life when it came to getting Robin-sis back and fought to the death and beyond at thriller bark considering the way he looked when they found him.
"OI! ZO… UFFF!" Franky was about to call out for the swords man when he tripped over something and fell to the ground in an ungrateful heap face first. Frank sat up rubbing his injured face he turned around to see what he ran over. His heart dropped into his stomach what he tripped over was a green haired 3 katana wielding man in the middle of the road that could only be one person and one person alone Zoro. Franky rushed over to the fallen man who lay unnaturally still on the ground he was laying face down on the concrete. Franky flipped him gently onto his back and checked him over, only to find he wasn't bleeding anywhere. The cyborg fumbled around in the pocket of his shirt till he found the Den Den Mushi.
"Franky to Sunny…" Franky said to the little snail in his hand.
"Yeah Franky what is it?" Nami's voice came through his Mushi
"I found Zoro-bro and I'm coming back to the ship." Franky informed her as he looked around and made sure nobody was around.
"Oh thank goodness, ok I'll tell Sanji and Luffy." Nami clicked off the connection and Franky's Mushi went to sleep. The cyborg stuffed the Mushi back into his pocket and bent down and picked up the swordsman as if he was made of glass and began running to the ship.
Sanji p.o.v.
"MARIMO!" Sanji yelled again down another alley and again nothing answered but his echo.
'Damn this it like finding a needle in a hay stack. shit!' Sanji stopped to the sound of the Den Den mushi in his pocket going off. Pulling it out, he turned it on.
"Yes?" Sanji said out of breath
"Sanji-kun?" Nami voice came through the Mushi in his hand.
"Hai! Nami-swan it's me your ever loving knight!" Sanji Danced around where he stood with hearts in his eyes.
"Sanji-kun! Franky found Zoro and is on his way back to the ship hurry on back ok?" Nami asked
"Hai Nami-swan!" and the link was cut and Sanji let out the breath he didn't relies he had holding sense he entered the town. He ran back in the direction of the docks back to the ship where he was going to give the marimo a good kicking for making him worry to death.
Luffy p.o.v.
Luffy slowed down to a walked as he gasped for breath. Eventually he stopped all together his hands on his knees.
"Zoro… meat!" Luffy gasped as he let his tongue hang out of his mouth and he drooled thinking of Sanji's food when his thoughts of food were interrupted by the sound of his Mushi.
"Eh… Nani." Luffy dug through his many pockets in his pants.
"Hm… not this one… or this one…hm maybe AH HA!" Luffy exclaimed as he pulled out his Mushi
"Hello?" Luffy said into the Mushi.
"Luffy? Get back to the ship now Franky found Zoro and once you get back we're shipping out. Got it." Nami signed off. Luffy whooped with joy.
"Yeah Zoro's back!" Luffy jumped into the air and took off running back to the ship.
normal p.o.v. back on the ship
Chopper hung over the edge of the ship. Brooke continued to play a sad melody. Ussop went below deck to work on something. Nami and Robin sat at their table on the deck reading a book and Nami sat staring at the Den Den Mushi on the table as she absently stirred her cup of tea.
"Franky to Sunny…" Franky's voice came through the Mushi. Everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around the table.
"Yeah Franky what is it?" Nami couldn't keep the worry out of her voice.
"I found Zoro-bro and I'm coming back to the ship." Franky informed her Nami gasped in relief as she sank back into her chair for a moment.
"Oh thank goodness, ok I'll tell Sanji and Luffy." Nami cut the connection with Franky and looked around at the hopeful and relived faces around her.
"Ok now everyone don't get too excited he didn't say how he was for all we know he could be hurt." Nami pointed at chopper. Chopper got a serious look on his face as he ran to the medical bay to get things ready in a worse case scenario. Nami clicked the Mushi to call Sanji's Mushi. It rang for a few seconds then the blonde's voice came through the mushi's mouth.
"Yes?" Sanji answered sounding out of breath.
"Sanji-kun?" Nami got a little worried that he was so out of breath but quickly remembered that Sanji was probably running out looking for zoro.
"Hai! Nami-swan it's me your ever loving knight!" Sanji cooed as hearts came out of the mushi's eyes. Nami sighed for a moment.
"Sanji-kun! Franky found Zoro and is on his way back to the ship hurry on back ok?" Nami asked as she watched the mushi have hearts come out of its eyes.
"Hai Nami-swan!" Sanji said as Nami cut the connection. The mushi returned to its sleeping position as she connected it to Luffy's mushi. It rang for a long couple of minutes.
"Hello?" luffy's voice came through the mushi now.
"Luffy? Get back to the ship now Franky found Zoro and once you get back we're shipping out. Got it." Nami ordered as she disconnected the mushi and it went to sleep. She leaned back in her chair and ran her hand through her hair.
"You're glad cyborg-san found swordsman-san aren't you?" Robin smiled as she set her book down and rested her elbow on the table and put her chin in her hand.
"Yeah I guess you could say so." Nami sighed rubbing her eyes with her thumb and forefinger.
"Oi everyone here comes Franky!" Ussop yelled from the railing of the ship as he pointed over to the road leading into the town. The rest of the crew rushed over to the edge of the ship. Sure enough the blue haired cyborg running toward the ship with something in his arms.
"Oh no." Chopper whispered as he noticed the tuff of green hair against Franky's chest.
"Chopper bro! Zoro-bro wont wake up I've been trying for a while!" Franky yelled as he ran up the gang plank of the ship.
"Ah no! We need a doctor someone find a doctor!" chopper ran around Franky and the others screaming saying that they needed a doctor
"YOU'RE THE DOCTOR!" Nami and Ussop yelled at the reindeer.
"Oh ha ha." The reindeer laughed as he turned to heavy point and took Zoro from the cyborg's arms and ran him to the medical bay. More running was heard at the gangplank sanji ran up panting.
"Sanji-kun you ok?" Nami asked
"Hai my sweet angel!" Sanji smiled as he stared to do his noodle dance.
"gomu gomu no…" a voice said way off in the distance as a pair of hands latched onto the railing of the ship on either side to the cook.
"ROCKET!" Luffy cried as he rocketed toward the ship at top speed and slammed head first into the blonde cook.
"Get off me you shitty gomu!" Sanji yelled as he shoved the excited captain off of him.
"Where's Zoro?" luffy asked cocking his head to the side and looking genially confused.
"Well captain-san, cyborg-san said that he has not woken up so doctor-san is taking care of him." Robin answered as she returned to her book on the table.
"So luffy it's probably better if we just wait and see what chopper says ten go in." Nami advised as she walked back to her table and sat down with a flop and a great sigh. Sanji sat down against the railing of the ship letting his tiredness take over for a moment he took a single long drag from his cigarette.
"So where did you find him?" Ussop asked Franky
"Well I actually tripped over him he was laying in the middle of the road. I had tried to wake him up on my way here multiple times and he didn't even stir once." Franky scratched his chin in though as he contemplated.
"But my heart almost stopped when I heard saw him. But then again I don't have a heart YOHOHO! Skull joke!" Brooke broke into the conversation trying to lighten the mood when the door to the medical bay opened and the little reindeer walked out and 7 heads snapped in his direction to get his verdict in the first mate.
"Now is he chopper?" luffy asked worried as he swatted down to look chopper in the eye.
"Well he should be fine there is no bleed externally or internally. And he still hasn't woken up yet which I don't understand why but he is stable. But let's just see how the night goes." Chopper decided as he put on a very thoughtful face.
"Ok you heard him. Everyone go to bed and Sanji you keep first watch then Robin you take over afterwards and I'm sure he'll wake up in the morning." Nami ordered as the crew muttered and headed off to bed.
one week later
Luffy sat on a chair facing the still asleep Zoro.
"Hey do you think he's dead?" Luffy asked out of pure curiosity only to get punched in the head by the red haired navigator.
"He is not dead!" she yelled as she looked down at the green haired swordsman. This was the 7th day he had been asleep and the whole crew was in the medical bay trying to get out of the rain and check on their Nakama. Ussop was squatting beside Luffy beside Zoro and was poking him in the arm with his finger. The first day or so zoro hadn't waken up Luffy and Ussop became bored and began drawing on Zoro's face while nobody was around resulting in that they would not be a loud in without someone else with them. Now they were left with nothing to do and began driving the crew crazy.
"I'm sure zoro-san is fine!" Brooke tried to sound cheerful but his voice cracked with sadness and worry. Sanji leaned against the wall and robin read a book on a chair in the corner and Franky fixing a leak in the roof and chopper missing herbs in a bowl on the counter. Ussop poked Zoro's arm again for the 100th time that afternoon Zoro's hand twitched.
"EEEEPPPP!" Ussop jumped away and behind Franky on the other side of the room causing the Cyborg to lose his balance and fall to the ground in a heap.
"OI CHOPPER! ZORO MOVED!" Luffy yelled at the reindeer that was a few feet behind him.
"What?" chopper yelped as he jumped off his stool and ran over to Zoro's side and began running simple test on the man. Sanji looked over at the Marimo with hope. Robin looked over the edge of her book to where chopper was running around Zoro. A moan escaped from the man and the whole room fell into an anticipating silence. Zoro sat up holding his head without opening his eyes.
"ZORO!" Luffy screamed as he jumped forward and hugged the green haired man tight. Zoro's eyes snapped wide open and a look of complete fear on confusion registered in his eyes. Zoro pushed luffy away roughly with a yell.
"Zoro? Are you ok?" Nami asked as she placed a hand on Zoro's shoulder the man flinched away from her touh and have her hand smacked away by Zoro. Rubbing her dejected hand she looked at his face that had fear written all over it.
"You shitty marimo don't hit a woman!" Sanji yelled as he kicked Zoro in the side of the head. The blow connected and the said man was sent flying into the wall a few inches behind him with a large amount of force to have his head to crack sickeningly against the wall. Everyone in the room whined and chopper went berserk. Sanji expected the Marimo so block to attack not take it full on. Zoro screamed again and kicked off the bed with his legs and hit the floor and backed away from the crew till he lit the corner.
"Who-who are you! Where am I?" Zoro demanded in a fearful voice as he looked at the faces of everyone in the room.
"Zoro you're on the Sunny." Nami answered hesitantly.
"Who is Zoro?" Zoro asked looking at Nami suspiciously. Everyone looked at the frightened Nakama on the ground. Something clicked in Chopper's mind.
" OUT!" Chopper shouted at everyone.
"What chopper what…" Ussop began to ask but chopper turned to heavy point and shoved the crew out the door and slammed and locked the door behind him.
"Would someone tell me what the Fuck just happened in there!" Sanji cursed as he and the crew were even more confused about the behavior of their Nakama.
