Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece
It's past midnight while the Thousand Sunny is gently floating on the sea. Light snores escape from the cabins. An ever louder snore descends from the Crow's nest, where Roronoa Zoro is supposed to keep watch. The light of the moon reflects the shadow of an intruder, slowly creeping on the deck …
While the unsuspecting intruder is searching for something, Zoro slightly opens his eyes. With a big yawn he stands up and starts heading towards the kitchen to retrieve some sake. While climbing down the Crow's nest, Zoro suddenly senses something is wrong. He looks around just in time to see someone sneak into the kitchen. With a soft thud, Zoro lands on the deck. After tying his black bandanna around his head and positioning his three swords, he walks with a confident step towards the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Zoro immediately jumps aside. Grateful for his quick reflexes, he studies the dagger in the wall, visible where just a second ago his head was located. When the dagger is pulled back by the chain linked to its handle, Zoro turns his interest to the intruder. In the semidarkness he notices that the intruder has short hair and a slender figure dressed with boyish clothes. Zoro concludes the intruder must be a young boy around 16 years old.
Through his childhood with Kuina, Zoro learned to not underestimate people through their outer appearance. Therefore, he starts studying the boy's weapon and fighting stance. The boy has a defensive stance, waiting for Zoro to act first. He has 2 daggers, 1 in each hand. Both daggers seem to be linked together by a chain. It's an odd weapon that Zoro has never encountered before and the previous attack has shown that the boy is quite capable of wielding the weapon.
Zoro decides he has observed enough. It's time to attack. Zoro crosses his two swords across his chest and places the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them. After growling 'Oni Giri', Zoro rapidly approaches the intruder and slashes his three swords. Surprise flickers through his face when he notices his attack was blocked. His two swords were blocked by the daggers, while Wado Ichimonji was blocked by nothing less than the chain linking the two daggers. Confused Zoro stumbles backwards.
In his confusion, he sees too late that one dagger is thrown around his legs and a pull on the chain causes him to fall on his back. His fall causes him to release Wado Ichimonji from his mouth. He realizes his mistake when he immediately feels the intruder straddling him, pressing the two daggers to his throat. Two deep blue eyes pierce into his. He drops his other swords when the realization hits him that the intruder is not a young boy, but a woman dressed as one.
With renewed interest he regards the woman. Disregarding the daggers against his throat, she doesn't seem that hostile. She breaths heavily although Zoro did not inflict any wounds yet. He therefore concludes that she's suffering of old wounds. She has a begging look in her eyes when she softly whispers 'Please, I don't want to fight anymore. I only need some food'. Zoro nods in response. The woman smiles, but soon a look of pain drifts away the smile and she faints on top of the swordsman...
Hi all, this was the first chapter of my story. I hope you like it. I apologize for it being this short, but I personally don't like too long chapters.
