Heart Attack
Zoro was walking past all the stands that had been set up for the Davy back fight. As he walked further he heard what sounded like shouting come from a little further ahead. Speeding up a bit he saw a man from the Foxy Pirate crew attacking a black haired girl who just stood there with a bored expression dodging every attack. Should I help her? Or should I leave them alone he asked himself. Taking a step forward he decided to help her.
He began picking his way towards them only to stop a couple feet away as the girl drew her sword and cut a huge gash into the mans neck nearly severing it completely. Her sword was one of the rare swords that were cursed and hard to find. Blood splattered around the fallen man. She just stared at him before licking the blood off her blade and said "Next time don't pick a fight that you can't win."
Zoro felt his heart accelerate and wasn't really sure why. The girl then turned to him with wide set amethyst colored eyes, pale yet tan skin, and scars running across her arms. "You saw that?" she asked coldly. "Yes I did." was all he said.
"Don't tell anyone. I don't want the marines after me." she said smiling a tiny bit. He nodded his head as answer.
"What's your name?" he asked with interest.
"It's Luna. What's yours?" she asked with interest as well.
"Mine name is Zoro. May I ask why the marines are after you?" he asked. She nodded her head before giving him the answers he wanted to know.
"I apparently killed someone important and they locked me up. But, I escaped and am now roaming the ocean with my trusty blade Bloody Rose."
"It's cursed isn't it?" he asked intrigued. She smiled a smile that pulled at his heart.
"Yes, it is indeed cursed. For it was made especially for me. It houses a demon inside it just like your sword." This surprised him greatly. Not many people could tell his sword was cursed or even housed a demon.
"How did you know that?" he asked immediately. The girl just smiled, a smile that filled her eyes with innocence and knowledge.
"My dad was a sword smith. He was the one who made my sword as well as yours. In fact he was the one who made all of the cursed swords." This surprised him more than it probably should. Looking at the scars littering her body he decided to ask about them.
"Where did you get those scars?" he asked her. She was no longer smiling now. In fact she seemed like she was trying to suppress bad memories. "I got some of them in fights like the one you saw. Others I got from the prison guards." she said quietly.
Just then Luffy came walking towards them all while stuffing his face. "Hey Zoro. Who's the girl you're talking to?" he asked with his mouth full.
He felt himself becoming slightly annoyed. "This is Luna. Luna this is my idiot captain Luffy." He looked back seeing that Luna was looking at Luffy with recognition. Luffy had the same look on his face as well.
"I remember you!" they both shouted at the same time. He looked from her to his idiot caption and back.
"How the heck do you know each other?" he asked angrily. It was Luffy who answered.
"Remember when we got stuck at that marine base?" he asked Zoro. He just nodded. "Well, she was one of the people imprisoned there." He stated simply. He turned to Luna in order to confirm it. She nodded her head.
The three of them stood like that for a few minutes till Luna's head tilted to the side as if she heard something. Luffy just stood there grinning. "Would you like to join our crew?" he asked. She smiled at that before answering. "I would love to join your crew. Your the one who freed me after all. It's the least I can do."
"Zoro! Luffy!" They heard Nami shout as she ran towards them. "We need to have a meeting about which of us are going to be in what event. Who's the girl?"
"This is Luna. And she's a new member of our crew." Luffy stated. Nami smiled before hugging the black haired girl who tensed not expecting the hug. "Yay. Another girl! Wait don't let Sanji find out just yet." she whispered. Zoro shook his head.
"Too late. Look." he said pointing at the love cook throwing himself at Luna.
"Ah, another beautiful lady joining our crew!" he said with hearts in his eyes he held Luna's hand. "What is your name my sweet?" Luna just pulled away her hand and took a step back.
"My name is Luna. Don't touch me." Zoro smiled at that but, it faded at what Sanji said next.
"So cold, but gentle. Just like the moon." he said twirling around in a tornado. This caused both Luna and Nami to hit him and Zoro to smile.
"I told you not to touch me." she said pulling out her bloody sword once more. "Do I need to cut your tongue out?" she asked coldly.
"I don't care if you cut or hurt me. I'll do everything you want me to." Sanji said like a love sick puppy. Zoro noticed the disgusted look on Luna's face before it transformed into one of wariness.
"I need to go." she said before walking off. Zoro followed her as he saw several Foxy pirates running after the young girl.
"Why, are you following me?" he heard her ask without turning around.
"Because, I didn't want you fighting them by yourself." he answered. She laughed at that. The laugh was gentle yet held some sort of undercurrent.
"Your funny." she said looking back at him and stopping. They looked at each other for what seemed like hours. Suddenly the others arrived at their spot. Chopper, Robin, and Ussop soon followed.
"We filled out the sheet for events. Both you Sanji and Luna are in the Groggy Ring and the Float race." Nami stated while catching her breath.
"That's fine with me." both of them said at the same time causing the others to laugh as the two of them blushed.
Later all of them were standing watching the open ceremony. Luna looked like she was caught in between boredom and amusement. So when Luffy said he wanted to have some more meat he was surprised to see her face go from impassive to gentle in one fell swoop. He wasn't just surprised he was also angry. That expression should be for me only.
Not a moment later did the first round, the Float race start. Zoro, Chopper, and Luna were on one float while Sanji and Luffy were on another. That left Nami, Robin, and Usopp on the final float.
"Let the race begin!" the voice shouted over the speakers starting the race. Chopper was steering while Zoro and Luna paddled using their swords. They were later attack by the fish man boat and knocked out of the contest. So was Sanji and Luffy. The only float left was the one with Usopp, Nami and Robin. It looked like they were going to win but it later turned out different. For they lost.
