Zoro x Korinn(OC)

"Stand here and wait for the word to stop running in place." – 10 Years

I suppose I should start at the beginning of my wild encounter with Straw Hat Luffy and Roronoa Zoro. I was bobbing along in my little lifeboat for what seemed like a few weeks, and then BAM! I meet the two by some stroke of the fates. I think I am 18 or 19 now… I can't remember what month it is so that could become a problem… but oh well. Life keeps going even if it feels like a standstill. So now onto the entire new life I will live.

"Hi! Who are you?" a bizarre young teenager asked me tearing me from my daydreaming. I looked at him and raised one eyebrow suspiciously. He had jet-black hair and a simple straw hat with a red ribbon around the base. He too was in a smallish lifeboat. He was smiling a smile the size of the sun and it was equally bright. He just waited in anticipation for my reply.

"Uhm… I could ask you the exact same thing bud…" I stated warily. How was he so goddamn happy?

"Oh! I'm Luffy and I'm going to be the King of the Pirates!" he told me with confidence I could never imagine in 100 lifetimes and his smile growing if possible.

Who is this moron?! How can someone be this dumb… I thought to myself as I pondered about telling him who I was. "Well, I can say that this is a first… did you get separated from your crew?" He just kept smiling.

"Nope, he's right here! Oi! Zoro! Wake up!" he whacked a head on the boat that groaned as he shuffled around.

"What is it Luffy?" answered a deep voice, the voices owner sat up fully and yawned.

"I found a cool girl!"

"Oh, hello," I waved halfheartedly; I assumed this guys name was Zoro, who cocked his head in return.

"What's your name?" Luffy persisted. I decided that it couldn't hurt me if two people found out my name in the middle of the East Blue.

"Name's Korinn, pleasure to meet ya both. You're Luffy," I pointed to the straw hat wearing boy, "and you're Zoro?" I said moving my finger to point to the green-haired man. His hair was in a crew cut unlike the other one whom I guessed was the captain who had a medium length black shag.

"Oh! SO COOL! So do you do anything?" He asked with some stars in his eyes the increased when I nodded my head. "EVEN BETTER! What do you do?"

"Well, I float in the river of life, go in for a swim once in a while. Fling some knives, you know, the usual."

"Do you sing at all? 'Cause I really want a musician on the crew…" he said with hope. I sang a tiny bit before I left home but I never thought I was any good at it.

"I only do on extremely special occasions… I sang back home before I left and I hum a tune every so often. But not a lot, ever."

"Hey, Luffy, you might want to catch her before she gets away cause she did say she does sing." Zoro told his captain with a smirk. Luffy nodded fast.

"Gomu Gomu Mooring Line," he said as his arms stretched the distance from his boat to mine. My eyes practically popped out of my face and my jaw dropped. What the fuck! This ain't normal! What is this! My boat and his came together then and Luffy laughed and Zoro chuckled at my expression of pure shock.

"W-what are you?" I asked slowly gaining back my composure.

"I'm a rubber man," he stretched out his cheek farther than any normal person could. "See? I ate the Gomu Gomu Fruit. And now I am stretchy!"

"Heh, now you're probably stuck with us," Zoro told me with an amused expression. I then noticed three katanas laying down next to him.

"Hey, ya got enough swords there, man?" I asked pointing to the swords.

"I do three-sword style," he replied as though you came across a three sword wielding man.

"But of course… So, Zoro, how'd the little stretcher getcha?" I asked him jutting a thumb at Luffy.

"He got me out of a tight spot with the marines, and I am on my way to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. So, he was the best option."

"Ok… so Pirate King, World's Greatest Swordsman… where's your ship?"

"Don't have one yet."

"Crew?"

"Just us, so far"

Okay… so y'all are tellin' me you've got no ship, and one crewmate. Damn, I've never come across dumber pirates…" I said shaking my head a bit.

"Will you join my crew?" Luffy asked. I knew he might've but I was still so shocked I almost fell out of my boat.

"You're jokin', right?" he shook his head. "I thought so…" I said coolly.

"Please, please, please, please! Pleasey please please!" he begged me.

"You aren't going to get out of this, once he makes up his mind there is no changing it. He won't stop bugging you until you say 'yes' that is," Zoro informed me looking at me out of the corner of his eyes.

"But, I'm not a pirate!" I protested. "One, I am just some random girl you met, how do you know I won't kill ya in your sleep? Two, how do I know y'all won't do that to me?"

"We won't do that! And I can tell you're not a bad person, I trust you."

"Damnit all to hell, since Zoro said once your mind's made up there's no changing. I suppose I will go along. I am trustin' you to not turn on me," I said sighing. "You're now my captain, and I your crewmember. But, just cause I am a girl, don't mean I am going to do any of that weird shit. Got it?" I said poiting. Luffy grinned and cheered, while Zoro looked like the cat the had caught the caranry. What did I get myself into?
