Since I will be finishing off Loved and Lost soon, I decided to create a new story that will contain 15 chapters.

No less and no more

The pairings will be - Zoro/Nami, Franky/Robin, Usopp/Kaya and Nojiko/Ace

I do not own One Piece

Enjoy

Zoro was his name, a young man at the age of 22 who was a teacher of swordsmanship at the gym known as the Grand Line in the city of Whiskey Peak. He was a fairly tall guy with bright green hair, scars covered most of his body including the one that had permanently shut his left eye. He had received that when he was a young boy learning from the great Mihawk who was now retire.

Grabbing his bag from the locker room, Zoro walked out of the room before meeting the little group of students who stayed behind to talk to him. He answered all there question and told them what to bring next time before Zoro headed out of the gym, he moved towards the guy who was waving mad. All he wanted to do was go home and sleep but it looked like his best friend Luffy had another plan which made him groan.

"Zoro what took you so long"Luffy whined as he stood up.

"Luffy I have a lesson to teach you know that so what do you want?"he asked.

"I wanted to show you this place that had great drinks"

He thought about going home but when Luffy said drinks, his mind turned to the image of a cold glass of rum so Zoro nodded to his friend and Luffy raised his fist in excitement and began walking off with Zoro following him. On their way there, Usopp their other friend had joined them well Luffy told Zoro he wanted to have Usopp with them so they had turned back to the gym for Usopp's house was in that direction which annoyed Zoro slightly but the image of the glass kept him going.

"Thanks for inviting me guys"Usopp said.

"No problem"Luffy replied with a grin.

"Luffy are we near yet"Zoro groaned as he shifted his bag to the other shoulder.

Luffy nodded, he couldnt wait for his friends to try the place he had been going to for months, it was his brother Ace who had brought him to this place. He didnt understand why Ace went to this place for he enjoyed the bars Zoro went to but he was sure it had to be something with the blue haired waitress, maybe she made a good drink and thats why his brother always went there.

"Yeah, there"he replied pointing.

Both of them followed his finger and looked at the building in front of them, Usopp thought it looked good, he loved the way it was presented at the front and he could smell the cooking coming from the door and it made his stomach growl which made Luffy laugh until his stomach did the same however Zoro was not happy at all. His day at the gym had been tough and annoying, a few of the kids wouldnt listen then a fight broke out between two boys then the girls in his class started to get bitchy.

All Zoro wanted to do was go home and sleep, not to this, he thought Luffy was taking him to a bar not a cute little cafe.

Seeing his friends faces, he gave Luffy a fake smile and told him that it looked good. Luffy clapped is hands and pulled both of them into the cafe, it was a normal cafe but the smell of tangerines hit his nose, Zoro thought it would make him sick as he had never ate the fruit but for some reason it was quite comforting. Shaking his head, he took his arm away from Luffy and took a seat on a stool by the counter while his friend took the other two next to him.

"Nojiko!"Luffy called.

"One moment Luffy"

Zoro leaned on the counter, this was not what he wanted, not wanting to talk to Luffy as the words he truly felt about this would slip out so he grabbed a menu and took a look at want they had. Letting out a sigh, there was nothing on the menu that he would like which annoyed him even more. So he looked out the corner of his eye and saw Luffy was talking to someone with blue hair, he thought this might be Nojiko and the tattoo's confirmed it as he remembered Ace telling him about her.

'Not cute as he described'he thought.

Looking back at the menu, he avoided Luffy introducing him which he was glad. Usopp frowned slightly as he watched Zoro, he knew his friend had a bad day at the gym well most of the days he had a bad day, he wanted to say something but then the waitress came over and Luffy introduced him to her. At first Usopp thought she was scary but she was very sweet, she helped him chose something off the menu.

"Thats one tall chocolate nutty surprise"Nojiko asked.

"Yup"Usopp said with a smile.

"Luffy the same as always"she turned to Luffy.

"Of course, where's Nami?"he asked.

"She's in the kitchen, want me to get her for you"Nojiko replied.

Luffy shook his head so she nodded and moved off to fix up the drinks, Usopp asked how he found this place and Luffy began to tell his friend how his brother Ace had showed him this place. Nojiko smiled to herself as she heard the story and held back her laughter when Luffy told Usopp he didnt know why hos brother kept coming, she did and it made her blush.

"Thinking about Ace are we?"

"Dont sneak on people, sis"Nojiko said as she turned around.

"Then there's no fun"

Nami looked at her sister with a smile, she had heard Luffy come in and had looked out of the window of the door that was connected to the kitchen, she was curious who his friends were but then she noticed one was still looking at the menu so Nami asked her sister if he had ordered anything to which her sister replied no.

She could see he wasnt happy and Luffy's other friend was frowing as he stared as well, Nami could tell this guy didnt want to be here, she could tell he had a rough day as he looked it and the bag filled in the rest. He worked at a gym or had been at a gym, frowning slightly she smiled as she ran into the kitchen and began to prepare a drink, Nojiko wondered what her sister was doing.

"Here you go you two"Nojiko said as she placed the drinks down.

Both of the guys thanked her then she asked the guy with the green hair if he was ready to order but he shook his head, this made her frown but she placed a smile on as she saw a customer waving her over so she moved away. Luffy asked Zoro if he found anything he like and he got a no, Usopp didnt ask as he knew his friend was not happy at all, he knew Zoro would like some rum.

"Nami"Luffy said with a smile.

"Hey how you been?"she asked as she placed the drink down.

"Im good, your happy arent you"Luffy replied.

She nodded and smiled at Usopp, Luffy introduced them before she left. Zoro was glad that he didnt look up as he would have to deal with another waitress but the smell of rum hit his nose so he placed the menu down and looked around then he noticed a drink was placed in front of him. The cup was a simple brown one, nothing special like the others so he took it in his hand and lifted it up to his nose.

He smelt the tangerine's then spices but he could smell rum, it was a small smell so he took a sip of it and his taste buds screamed in joy as he could taste it, the rum had come out quite strong, no one would think it when they looked at the drink. Zoro turned to the others after he took another sip, the rum was so nice as was the rest and it made his day become a little less rough.

"Who ordered me the drink?"he asked.

"I didnt"Luffy said as he finished his.

"She brought it"Usopp answered pointing.

Zoro followed the direction his friend was pointing at and noticed the orange haired female, she was serving someone a drink but then she turned around and soon she was looking at him. Nami smiled at the guy and he nodded with a soft smile before he took another gulp of the drink, she was glad that she had ordered rum in for one of the food dishes, Nami mouthed no problem to him before she carried on serving.
