Hello! This is the first One Piece fanfic I ever wrote! I had a lot of fun writing it, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. only my oc.
Gloom island was probably the worst place he could have landed. The place reeked of smoke and the air was stale, even though there was nothing but open sky above. That wasn't the worst of it, though. The worst part was the annoying pink haired girl that wouldn't let him leave.
"Damn it..." Roronoa Zoro muttered as he ran down the hallway of the large castle, the only thing left of Muggy Kingdom. He couldn't find his swords, that annoying girl (what was her name again?) wouldn't stop following him, and to add to the embarrassment he was lost. "How complicated can it be? I need to find my swords, and get out of here."
"You're not getting away from me that easily... Horo horo horo horo horo."
Zoro stopped in his tracks. Standing in front of him was a gigantic Perona, just sitting there, blacking the whole path. "Negative Hollow!"
The last thing Zoro remembered was falling to his knees, saying something along the lines of 'forgive me for not being born a sea cucumber'.
When Zoro woke up, he was back in the bed where he had woken up before. When he tried to sit up, he realised he was so wrapped up in bandages he could barely move. He shut his eyes in exasperation. He would never be able to get to sea at this rate. He had read in the newspaper to meet up with Luffy and the rest of the gang in three days. He was running out of time.
When Zoro opened his eyes, he almost had a heart attack. He was staring into a pair of grey eyes. The eyes of a stranger.
If he was startled, it was nothing compared to how the stranger reacted. The stranger jumped up, and ran away.
Zoro sighed and shut his eyes. He must have been imagining it. He couldn't even hear fleeing footsteps down the hallway. "Urg..." he grumbled.
Slowly, carefully, he unraveled the bandages that were way too tight for him to move. It took him about two hours, but he finally managed to get up off the bed.
The hallway was dark and deserted. Not a sign that there was anyone besides him and Perona around. His instincts must have been playing tricks on him. There was no one else there.
He passed a room with a half-opened door and then doubled back, his eyes as wide as saucers. There were his swords, covered in dust, just lying there on the floor. He grabbed them and kept going. The only problem was... he had no idea where he was going.
He stopped when he ran up to a huge, red door. That seemed promising enough.
He pushed through the door, and there was Perona waiting for him.
"Where do you think you're going?!" she shouted. "You're lucky to be alive! If you try to escape, I'll be more than happy to hit you with another negative hollow."
Zoro rolled his eyes. He was exhausted. He supposed there would be no harm in taking a nap in the room. "Shut up..." he muttered as he flopped down on the couch.
"You took off your bandages again!" Perona screeched. "Do you know how long I worked to bandage you up? YOU IDIOT!"
Zoro grumbled something he hoped she couldn't understand, turned over and fell asleep. His sleep was deep and dreamless. Then, a flash of light lit his subconscious mind.
"I'm gone for a few days and I find two unwanted guests in my house." said a familiar voice.
Zoro shot up, flinching from his wounds, staring up at Dracule "Hawk Eye" Mihawk. He was standing there, his arms crossed, giving him one of his famous death glares.
Perona hid behind Zoro, quivering with fear.
Hawk Eye sat down in a large chair across from the couch. He took up a bottle of wine and a newspaper, and poured the wine into a glass. "Well?" he said, eyeing the two younger people with his piercing gold eyes.
"Well, what?" Zoro said, unfazed by Hawk Eye's stare.
"You owe me an explanation as to why you're in my home."
"You live here?" Zoro asked. How on earth could anyone stand living in a place like this? When Hawk Eye gave him another glare, he said, "It was Kuma." he said. "We were sent here by that weird attack of his."
Hawk Eye put down his glass and nodded. "Hmm..." he said. "Fine. However, there is something you should know."
"What?!" Zoro shouted. "There was a battle at marineford?"
Hawk Eye nodded. Then, he looked up. "It's all right." he said to the empty doorway behind Zoro. "Come meet our guests."
Zoro looked behind him, and gasped.
A small girl of about seven years old appeared in the doorway. She had tanned skin, and choppy blue hair that almost covered her soft grey eyes. She wore a threadbare grey shirt that reached to her knees, with a belt holding it in place, and black pants that covered her feet. There was a katana strapped to her back. It was about as long as his Wado Ichimonji, but it was huge on her.
"Awww!" Perona shouted. "She's so cute!"
Zoro did agree with her, although he didn't say anything. She was pretty cute.
The girl darted past them and hid behind Hawk Eye's chair, peeking out at them.
"This is Kess." said Hawk Eye.
"Your daughter?" Zoro asked.
Hawk Eye shook his head. "She's adopted."
"I saw her at one point, though I thought I was seeing things." Zoro said.
"Kess." Hawk Eye said. "Go get dinner ready."
Kess nodded and ran to the kitchen, with a sidelong glance at Zoro.
"Now, Roronoa." Hawk Eye said, giving Zoro a stern look. "There's more you should hear."
Zoro ran down the narrow path, followed closely by a bunch of large baboons, humandrills. They had been chasing him for hours, and Zoro was pretty sure he'd been running in circles for half the time. He stopped in front of the ruined part of the village, and turned to face the weird baboons. "Damn it..." he growled. "I don't have time for this... I have to get out to sea."
The huge ugly baboons lunged, brandishing their notched swords, gigantic spears, and large, meaty fists.
Zoro took up his swords, and lunged forward to meet them. "Oni... GIRI!" he shouted, slashing one of them.
Instead of falling down in defeat, the baboon got up, licked his fingers and patted his large wound with saliva.
"Spit's not going to help that!" Zoro shouted. "Where did you learn such stupid folk remedies?!"
The baboons regrouped and charged. Then, something stopped them in their tracks. They doubled back, cringing in fear.
Zoro turned around, and glared at the man who had shown up. "Hawk Eye." he growled.
"So you're still here, Roronoa." Mihawk said. "It would seem that you turned the boat I gave you into flotsam. Come to my castle. These humandrills don't come near it."
"You told me about what happened to Luffy!" Zoro shouted. "You can't tell me what to do! I'm going out to sea! Right now!"
Hawk Eye sighed. "Very well, do as you wish..."
Unbeknownst to Zoro and Hawk Eye, there was another person out there. Hiding behind a large piece of rubble, was Kess. She was just sitting there staring out timidly at the green haired swordsman and his mob of opponents.
