The Two Zeros

Everyone knows of the Grand Line as a place where anything is possible. From Sky islands, to talking animals, heck even mermaids were real. That is why it should be of no surprise to hear that in the New World there is an island where the natives have a certain soul connection. Two people share a name on this island and that will make them connected. The connection can be that of friends, lovers, or family. Nobody judges on the decision made by those whom share the name, but the power that comes with some names make them higher on the class system.

Two best friends had just brought a new life into the world, their name was depression, and the child was born a Zero. Due to her high class name she was put in a castle where she would be raised to perfection. She was named Zero and it was obvious that unlike most newborns she didn't cry, that made it obvious that she couldn't feel pain just like all other zeroes before her. Unfortunately after nine years of living, Zero was kidnapped by a traveler. Zero was curious of the outside world so she didn't kill the woman even though she could.

It seems the woman was a marine hoping to experiment on her. Unfortunately for the female marine Zero quickly eliminated her once they reached land, unfortunately it was in Sabaody Archipelago. The little girl was taught how to fight very well and she had an astronomical amount of intelligence for a nine year old. So it was no surprise when she was able to manipulate marines and charm her way out of trouble. A marine by the name of Monkey D. Garp wasn't so easily fooled so he adopted her and brought her to an island in the East Sea where she would grow up with his two grandsons, Ace and Luffy.

By the time they arrived she turned ten. Once there she was brought to Dadan, her new keeper. She didn't fail to notice three other boys watching her. Their presence wasn't unnerving, but a bit hostile from the older dark haired boy.

"Well Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and Zero we're going training!" Garp exclaimed, making the three boys groan. I as emotionlessly as ever only nodded and followed. He threw us in front of a malicious tiger and I effortlessly killed it after manipulating the sun into a sword and instantly slayed it.

"That was easy." Zero stated emotionlessly. Then she went off on her merry way leaving the others to gawk at her retreating form.

As time went on the boys got along with Zero and they did everything together. One day they all drank sake to show they were now siblings. Not by blood though, but by their strong bond. Zero didn't know why, but her chest tingled when she was with the three other boys. From what she understood of herself she could neither feel temperatures, pain, or emotionally attached to anything. Still she knew as a human that certain things could kill her so she had to be paranoid of what could kill her and what to do in a medical emergency.

Now Zero was a very attractive girl, once she finished going through puberty she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Zero was tall at 5'10, double D breasts, black hair in a tiger style, silver apathetic eyes, respectable curves, and light tan skin. Yes Zero was beautiful on the outside, but on the inside she was just an intelligent being without a hint of remorse or a conscience.

Although there was a proven theory that if anyone could get a zero to fall in love with them the zero would be able to feel emotions, but not pain. Unfortunately this has only happened once with two zeroes who lived at the same time. Well now that Zero thought about it that is what has happened to at this time too. It was confusing feeling emotions after being hard like stone for almost my whole life was what Zero thought the first time she realized what was wrong with her after being so confused on what she was really feeling.

At the present moment though Zero and her best friend Cero were contemplating on how the two fell in love with the enigmatic pirate captains. Never would they have thought that they would ever feel this way to that person. It was a mind boggling process that if you told their selves in the past they would surely kill you or in Zero's case torture you until you were broken and begging to be put out of your mercy. Then again she might have laughed if she was in front of some potential business partners.

Cero was Zero's best friend. He was 6', had short blonde hair, brilliant icy eyes, a lean lithe body, strong muscles, and a smirk that had girls lusting after him. Like Zero he was handsome and good looking on the outside, but on the inside he was just another living zombie like Zero. When Cero realized he was in love he was aghast. Never had he even considered falling in love this specific enigmatic person. This had caused both zeroes to question everything they were feeling.

How did it start? Was it love at first sight? Or was it gradual after getting to know one another? Am I comfortable with how things are going? Are they comfortable with the pace I've set? Do they feel the same? Is it all just my imagination? Are they threatened by me? Are they just using me for my power and influence? Is it possible that all of this is just a lie my mind came up with to punish me? These were all questions that were making both Zero and Cero insecure at the very moment, but they couldn't help what they were feeling.

To understand all of this first let's tell the story from the beginning…
