Zoro sighed. He was lost again. Damn Kuina and Tashigi never gave him a moment's rest. Those twins were always so conceited and rude. They acted like they could do everything better than him. He needed to get away so he grabbed his guitar and his swords and left. Now he was in some creepy part of town with no idea of how to get back. It had been a few hours and he finally decided to swallow his pride and get directions. He entered the little tavern and was met by a smiley little girl.
The little girl, Rika, and her mother set a plate of food in front of him. He ate and they wrote out directions. Zoro thanked the girls and paid for his food. He walked down the street in the direction the paper told him. He tried but he found himself confused and on the wrong street. He sighed again angrily and kicked a trashcan. He walked back the way he had come. Or at least he hoped it was the way he had come. After twenty minutes he still had no idea where he was. He sat on a bench and put his hands up to his face. He sat for a while then pulled out his guitar.
He loved playing and it never failed to calm him down. He didn't know how long he had been playing but after a while he felt someone was watching. He was used to it; he was really good and people often stopped to listen to him. Zoro looked up and saw a teenage boy maybe two years younger than him. The kid was short and skinny. He had a scar under his left eye and was wearing a Straw hat. Zoro kept playing. The kid sat next to him on the bench and started singing along.
Not waiting for the words to come around
In this small tobacco town
And I'm hating every second of this shit
I'm far too involved to quit
But the radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
Zoro and the kid finished the song. The kid laughed and Zoro started strumming.
"You're a really good guitarist. Wanna be in my band." Zoro looked up at the smiling kid.
"What?" he asked. The kid's offer was suspicious.
"Do you wanna join my band?" Zoro glared at the kid.
"No." He stood and walked away not caring if he was going the wrong way.
"Hey wait up." The kid said jumping off the bench and following after him. "Why, not."
"I'm not gonna be in some kid I just met's band?" Zoro replied.
"Are you already in a band?"
"No."
"Do you not like me?"
"No."
"Then why not?" the kid whined, "I can't have the world's greatest band without a guitar player."
"Find someone else." Zoro replied starting to get angry.
"But you're really good and I've already decided you're in my band."
"Whatever kid,"
"My name's Monkey D. Luffy. What's yours?"
"None of your business."
"Aw, it's gonna be hard being in the same band if I don't know your name." Zoro turned around and grabbed the front of Luffy's shirt.
"I'm not in your band," Zoro yelled. He was annoyed. "You can't make decisions for other people like that."
"It's my band." he complained, "I'm supposed to make the decisions." Zoro dropped the kid and sighed. He liked his spirit and resolve but he didn't need anymore problems right now. He was lost and starting to get hungry again. The kid followed him for a while Still talking and begging to know his name, but soon Luffy became quiet.
"Hey we're back on my street."
"What?" Zoro asked.
"This is where I live. We were just here."
"Shit we've been walking in circles? Why didn't you say something."
"I thought you knew where you were going. Wow you're worse at directions then I am." Luffy started to laugh. Zoro felt his face turn red.
"Shut up and just tell me how to get to Shimotsuki Ave." Luffy grinned evilly.
"No."
"What?" Zoro asked threateningly.
"If I show you the way you'll owe me. Stay lost or join my band… which do you pick." Zoro glared at the kid.
"You're the son of the devil." He said a smile growing on his face. He couldn't help but respect the kid. He didn't have the time to wander around the town all night and plus the kid had a voice . With his guitar playing they could actually be pretty good.
"Please tell me your name?" Luffy begged.
"Fine, my name's Roronoa Zoro."
"Suge, your name's so cool. Does this mean you'll join my band?" Zoro sighed again and looked at the sky.
"Yeah I guess so. You've got yourself a guitarist."
"Yatta, you'll be my Nakama. Alright! This is perfect." Luffy jumped around happily. Luffy started down the street with Zoro following.
"So who else is in your band?"
"Just you."
"What?"
"It's always been my dream to have the world's best band but I never met anyone that would join. Then I heard you playing and decided you' d be perfect and if you joined I'd finally be able to really work toward my dream." Zoro looked at the kid. Luffy had spent the last hour bothering him to join a band he had only just decided to make. Zoro rolled his eyes and wondered what he got himself into.
