Chapter 1.
Slowly, really slowly time goes by… Even so slowly that it feels like it's stopped but it isn't. It's still going on like those two men who are the only walkers on the dark streets, carefully looking that they don't make any other sound than the other ones silent giggling.
"Luffy… Be quiet already..."
"Sorry… Can't do." The younger black haired boy silently laughed and pulled the hood of his black hoodie over his head.
"It wasn't all that funny…"
"You slipped on the garbage bags…"
The other taller man who walked besides the boy almost elbow in elbow turned his head away like he would have seen something in the back of one pitch black alley.
"You looked like you would puke…" Luffy said snickering now a little harder and looked how one of the old street lights started to wink like it would soon explode.
"So you are saying that you wouldn't feel sick at all if you would feel the old stinking garbage pressed on you face?"
"No, darling."
Only sound was a sigh and then a crow's cry.
"I still feel like I am gonna puke…" The taller man whispered and shivered a little even if nobody couldn't see it in the darkness what was turning more and more overcastting in the eyes of lonely lady in the middle of the park where the two men stepped both silently smiling.
"I want the clothes, hats and…"
"I want the jewels and guns…"
"You never want anything else…" Luffy whispered sounding somehow disappointing just short moment before they walked past the not moving woman who just walked infront of her not looking like she would even understand that there wasn't anything to look at. The smile on the boys lips faded away.
"I don't need anything other than money and that's what I, we, get when we took the jewels."
"You don't have any imagination Zoro…"
The taller man could only laugh dryly and pat his smaller friends head gently like he would be somehow fragile.
"Imagining is what you do. I am one who is realistic." Zoro said little warm smile in his lips.
"I hope it's not going to rain tonight."
"What does it matter, Luffy dear?"
"I don't like being wet… You know it."
"Yeah I know. Just like I know what you do to keep you nightmares away." Zoro said half laughing and laughed only harder when his smaller friends punched him in the arm, actually quit painfully.
"Have been working out?"
"Yes. I don't want you to leave me far away."
Zoro raised his eyebrows and fluffed his hair under his hood.
"I hate it when you do that so stop it!"
"Okay. We are here already."
They both stopped. They were now in the end of the real town line and they saw over the trees tops couple of miles away a one lonely roof what could be seen even in the dark quit clearly because of it bright red colour.
"Are you sure that they don't have many alarms, Zoro?"
"What does it matter? You know how to make them quiet anyway."
"Yeah but it's always taking so long a time…" Luffy murmured and got a long hard look from his friend who could only shake his head.
"That's true but do you rather go in without making the alarms quiet? I don't think so."
"We did so once…" Luffy said gently and smiled a little.
"And we still have scars from that trip."
"So now we did better do this right. I mean no more mistakes. No more playing with the fire." Zoro whispered and started to walk toward their new prey carefully thinking everything over same time when Luffy just hum silently and walked behind him like a shadow in the darkness. Seriously, if someone would have been on a midnight walk and looked at their way that person could have maybe just and just seen Zoro but not at Luffy.
"Luffy I told you not to hum that song…"
"But it's good."
"Maybe…"
"You still think that he betrayed us?"
"He was the only one who knew that we were there!" Zoro whispered through his teeth and turned to look at Luffy just to notice that his friends wasn't anymore behind him.
"Not again… Luffy… Luffy come back now!" Zoro tried to call his friends quit quietly but there wasn't any reply or sound what would tell him that he would be anymore near him.
"I really hate it when he does this… He is almost too good at disappearing."
It wasn't that that Zoro wouldn't guess where his friends went. It was that that he had spoken at Luffy so many times about his disappearing that he was starting to think that his friend never listened at him and it's was kinda insulting.
He started to walk faster and it didn't take very long when he finally saw a barely visible figure on the big garden.
"Smelling the roses again?"
"It's a really sweet odour. I don't understand why you don't like it." Luffy whispered back and rose up on the ground. He knew not to cut the big bright red roses which were clearly the house owner's pride.
"Come on." that was the only thing what Zoro said but it told everything.
'It's your time to shine my little darling.' Zoro only whispered to himself and mussed up his friends hair before Luffy again disappeared and let Zoro wait sliently heart in his throat like everytime.
