K I HAVE LOTSA REQUESTS AND IM GONNA DO 'EM ALL! Starting with this :3 (Don't kill me for not doing Blind Romance . I'll do it after I finish the requests! And after I'm done I have another SanZo in mind that only ONE person knows of~) Yeah, this is a chapter story but it'll be REALLY QUICK for those of you waiting for either Blind Romance or a request (i take so long probably most ppl have forgotten their requests... fail)

Zoro wandered down the rocky path. He wasn't lost, this damned town just kept rearanging itself.

"Fuck, now where am I?" he grumbled. The strawhats had docked at a new island that morning and everyone ran off to explore all the island had to offer. Sanji went to find food to cook while Luffy ran about frantically looking for meat (totally forgetting he had almost no money left), Chopper and Robin were searching for new books on medicines and history. Usopp and Frankey went together to find building supplies while Nami stayed back to watch the ship.

Zoro had gone looking for a bar but ended up getting hopelessly lost as usual. "Damn it, damn it, damn it! If I'm late for lucnh the shit cooks gonna claw my eyes out! He's such a-" before Zoro could say one of his many insults used for Sanji he bumped into someone.

The woman he just bumped turned to face him as he stumbled to the ground. She looked about 25 years old with shirt messy shoulder length blonde hair that curled at the ends and covered half her face, she wore a blue teeshirt that said 'I don't need your attitude I've got my own' and loose blue jeans, she smirked through the ciggarette she held between her lips.

Zoro stared, if her eyebrow was curly she'd look like a female hillbilly version of Sanji. "Sorry" he said flatly.

"Oi" she started. Zoro turned around "Hmm what? I have to go." he said in an irritated tone.

She smiled sweetly but Zoro could tell she was faking it, "I was wondering if you could buy me some of those" she pointed to a fruit vendor. Hes selling bright blue fruit to people wandering past his stand. The woman continued "Here's fifty beli, I just don't want to go over there because... because he's my ex! So, will you help me?"

Zoro found it painfully obvious she was lying, but meh he didn't have anything better to do... plus if she was screwing with him he could always just kill her or something.

Zoro grabbed she money out of her extended hand and went to get the fruit. The fruit vendor handed him the fruit and took the money, luckily the woman was within eye sight so Zoro didn't get lost on the way back.

Zoro handed her the bag of fruits roughly, "Your welcome and goodbye" he said gruffly. A hand on his shoulder stopped him.

He looked back to see the woman with a strange expression on her face "Well I should thank you first! Here, have one of the fruit, they're very tasty~." she said as she handed him one of the fruit. Zoro nodded a thanks before heading off.

The woman grinned to herself, "Great! Now I just have to keep an eye out for him wandering around here to know if it wears off or not."

He saw the ship (by some miracle) poking through the houses from it's spot near the docks and headed back to his nakama.

He failed to notice that the fruit the woman gave him was purple instead of bright blue as he took a small bite, testing it.

Tasted like shit but he was starving, he had slept through breakfast and was now indeed late for lunch. He continued to eat the fruit, "Tch, 'tasty' she called these?" he mumbled to himself after his last bite.

As he reached the side of the ship, he climbed up and over the railing he was about to walk to the kitchen when a strange feeling came over him. He felt dizzy... really dizzy. Zoro grabbed his head as he stumbled forward.

He looked down to his arm to see it was glowing, like the rest of his body, the next thing he knew he saw a bright light that made him fall backwards onto his ass.

"AH! Ow, what the f-" he stopped mid sentance as he glanced down at his body. He was now sitting up on a tattered pile of ripped fabric that used to be his clothes. Whatever the flash of light was it must have shredded his clothes (even his bandanna! Damn it those are hard to find!) but that wasn't what made him freeze.

His legs were gone, replaced by a long scaled fish tail. The scales were emerald but shimmered seafoam green in the sunlight, it was strangly smooth to the touch but Zoro wasn't focused on that at the moment. His jaw opened and closed as his voice failed him before he bellowed "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!"

Zoro's hand slipped and he fell onto his back, swearing loudly he rubbed his now sore head, "OI SOMEONE HELP ME UP! WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE!" unfortunatly no one heard him as they were all downstairs in the lounge with the large aquarium. He could hear them all down there (mostly Luffy yelling).

Zoro growled before attemping to pull himself to them. Easier said then done, he got all the way from the ship's railing to the mast before he realised he had been going the wrong way, his tattered clothes sitting outside of the lounge he was looking for. He swore he heard someone laughing at him (a/n: ME XDD).

"Oh screw it" he said as he slumped down and fell asleep. Zoro continued to sleep for a few hours, apparently the people downstairs hadn't come up yet (Usopp and Frankey were showing off their lasted inventions and Luffy's overeacting made it considerably longer) because the swordsman/merman was left sleeping on the deck until he woke up on his own.

The first thing he noted was he felt exhausted. His throat hurt and he couldn't move, his breaths were coming out heavy and he was sweating like crazy. The hell? What's happening to me! He thought to himself. He tried to get up only but only managed to tense his arms and make his tail twitch. Oh yeah, no more legs. He thought with a scowl.

He wasn't the smartest in the world but he did know what he needed. Water.

He heard a door open followed by footsteps and Luffy's crazy laughter. He tried to call out his captains name but his voice failed him once again, he was only able to cough.

.o0O0o.

Luffy laughed as he walked out of the lounge to get some food, with Sanji's permission instead of just stealing it for once. He stopped when he heard coughing. His curious eyes scanned the deck, what was that? he thought to himself.

His eyes went wide when he saw a tail poking out from behind the mast, being Luffy, he bolted over to see what it was a huge grin on his face thinking about the huge fish. His smile instantly fell when he found what 'it' actually was.

He stared at his nakama, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily as he lay on his chest. "Z-ZORO!" Luffy choked out through the shock. Zoro stared "Lu... water..." he panted.

Luffy didn't need to hear anything more, he slung his friend's arm over his shoulder and dragged him over to the trap door to the aquarium and threw Zoro in before closing thee hatch and bolting back down to the lounge to see if his friend was alright.

.o0O0o.

Sanji had just handed out iced tea to each of the girls while frankey and Usopp continued talking about the new strange weapons they had made (well, the ones that didn't blow up) while Chopper stared at them with sparkling eyes. Brooke played his violin in the background. They had just let Luffy head up to get some more snacks.

Without Luffy's loud voice they were able to hear what was going on on deck a little. They all looked up in confusion when they heard Luffy yell 'Z-Zoro!' followed by a loud splash as something was thrown into the aquarium.

All eyes went to the form in the water, but they couldn't see anything through all the bubbles formed from the force of it the... whatever it was, being thrown into the water. Luffy bolted in, all eyes left the aquarium and turned to him as he yelled "IS ZORO OKAY!"

Everyone raised an eyebrow as Sanji began to speak "Luffy what the hell are you talking about?" Nami suddenly gasped as she looked back to the aquarium.

The others did the same, each making a shocked expression as they watched the half-conscious merman sinking in the aquarium. Zoro cracked an eye open when he lightly landed on the sandy bottom and glanced around. He was now sitting about ten feet from the glass that seperated him from the others.

He saw fish. Lots of fish. He also saw all his nakama staring at him, they were all right up against the glass, some rested their hands on the glass while some (ahem, Luffy Chopper and Usopp) pressed their faces right up against the glass.

Zoro's face went bright red from all the attention "W-What is it?" he mumbled, his voice sounded a bit distorted from the water and the glass but they could still hear him.

Luffy was bouncing in his seat "ZOROOO! THAT'S SO AWESOME! HOW DID YOU GROW A FISH TAIL!" he yelled in exictment.

Zoro glared, "I don't know... some woman gave me a shitty tasting fruit but I'm not drowning so it can't be a devil fruit." he said flatly. Chopper intervened "Um Robin was telling me about some people researching devil fruits that didn't take away people's ability to swim"

Robin nodded "Yes, some government research has been taking place. So far, they have created a few. Unfortunatly, the powers only last a little while before they wear off. I heard that government officials have been going undercover and tricking pirates into eating these fruits, using them as labrats."

Zoro's hatered for the marines tripled hearing that.

Bastards... they think they can screw with me and get away with it! Zoro thought as he sat on the sandy bottom of the aquarium. He was brought back down to earth by an annoying tapping noise.

He looked over to Sanji who was reapetedly tapping the glass. Zoro's eyebrow twitched "Crap-cook what are you doing and why the hell are you doing it?"

Sanji continued tapping "Tappin' the glass 'cause it pisses you off." Zoro glared daggers "You are so dead when I'm back to normal!" he snapped. Sanji chuckled.

Luffy kept bouncing "Swim Zoro~! I wanna see you swim~!" he said with stars in his eyes, "Captain's order!" he added.

Zoro sighed, his captain was so childish but for some reason he just couldn't say no to those big eyes. Zoro sighed as he pushed himself off the bottom and swiled his tail about to propel himself forward.

He swam straight up and floated there, "Happy?" he asked. Luffy and Chopper both had stars in their eyes and Luffy kept yelling "DO A FLIP! DO A FLIP!"

Zoro did a few backflips along with many other movements that Luffy, Chopper, or Usopp (who soon joined the two) yelled out. Eventually, Zoro swam back down and sat right in front of the glass.

His and Luffy's face were about two feet apart (seperated by glass) and for a second, Zoro swore Luffy was blushing. Must be his imagination.

Chopper suddenly spoke up, "That was cool Zoro but will you let me run some tests now?"

Zoro could tell Chopper was anxious to find out the cause of the strange circumstances, and to be honest, he was tired of doing tricks for the three. Zoro nodded and said "I'll meet you up on deck." before swimming up to the hatch.

Luffy and Usopp followed Chopper up the stairs to the now-opened hatch. Zoro was leaning on his elbows, his arms were the only thing on deck, the rest was still under water. He rested his chin on his crossed arms.

Chopper, in heavy point, leaned down slipped one hand under each of Zoro's arms and pulling him up. Luffy stared at the tail, it seemed to sparkle in the sun, it was almost hypnotizing!

Chopper readjusted Zoro so he had one arm under Zoro's head and another under where his knees would be. With that, Zoro was carried off to the medical ward.

Leaving a confused Luffy to think about the weird feeling he felt.

Yeah this is TBC, good thing I know you guys are willing to wait /shot/ AH I'LL GET TO WORK ON CHAPTER TWO! lololol

LEAVE A REVIEW :D thanks~
