Content of this chapter is happening in my made up future of One Piece, basically the Straw Hat fleet is going to attack Kaido and they run into the Marines before Kaido.

"You excited?" Smoker asked the dancing swordswoman.

"Hmm? Why would I be?" Tashigi asked the Vice admiral while swinging her sword from side to side with unnatural speed.

"What do you mean 'Why would I be', it's not everyday that you get the opportunity to meet your boyfriend." Smoker grinned before lighting another two cigarretes.

"I... He's..." Tashigi tried to reply but struggled due to all the blushing that word caused her, "Well, he's not, yet." Tashigi whispered with a smile before continueinrg her training.

"We're docking here, group 1 take care of supplies, group 2 look for pirates, preferably Straw Hats." Smoker yelled to his men before jumping down from the ship.

Smoker roamed the streets of the big city, trying to find a tavern. Tashigi meanwhile prepared her gear for their inevitable fight with a pirate fleet.

"To think that they would would attack a Yonko right now, why do we even need to interfere, pirates killing pirates is good." Tashigi shook her head in anger.

Suddenly just as Tashigi was about to get out of the ship, she hears the yells from one of the marines on the ship, "They are here".

Tashigi's look switched to the horizon, noticing more than 50 ships with numerous different flags approaching the city. "Mugiwara" she whispered to herself as she noticed the small ship.

She quickly ran through the city, entered tavern after tavern in a hurry before finally reaching the tavern her commander was in.

"Smoker-san, they are here she yelled from the door of the tavern." The whole tavern turned to the young Captain who was now standing at the door.

"Smoker? What's that guy doing here? Isn't he a Vice admiral?" Whispers spread through the tavern, a tall hooded man walked over to the young Captain.

He pulled out his jitte just as he was nearing the door and responded, "How many ships?.

"Around fifty, Sir." Tashigi informed the Vice admiral.

"Are you sure that it's the Straw Hats?" Smoker muttered in an annoyed voice.

"Yes sir, we can't fight him here, we'll endanger the city, we should just keep them under control so none of the pirates damage the city." The worried captain quickly informed.

"We don't need to worry about that, if it's really Mugiwara then his fleet is already under control, I doubt he'd allow his fleet to pillage a city, secure the docks either way." Smoker said before exiting the tavern.

"Oi, did you hear that? They mentioned 'Mugiwara' and 'Luffy', could it be that the most notorious rookie is going to dock here?" the worried citizens talked in the tavern, and some of them got up to pay for their drinks.

"No worries people, the navy got this under control." Tashigi tried to ensure the town's folk but a very rude reply came her way, "You couldn't defend a fort from that Devil's child, I doubt you can defend a peaceful city, I'm out of here."

Tashigi frowned at the sentence one of the citizens muttered at her. She left the tavern and ran to her men with an already thought out strategy.

"Luffy-senpaaai, navy is on the docks." Bartolomeo yelled from his ship to the relaxed rookie who was sitting on the Lion's head.

"It's alright Crest head-kun, they wouldn't dare to attack a fleet with just 5 battleships" Nami informed from the deck of the Thousand Sunny.

A few minutes later the ships docked, their huge ships covered the whole dock in shadows, "Alright men, don't cause any trouble in the city, just resupply the best you can." Nami said the orders to the rest of the fleet.

Her captain was already down on the dock and running through the city towards the beautiful smell of meat from a nearby restaurant.

He opened the door, and was greeted by a couple of terrified looks from the customers of the restaurant.

"I'd like to order all the meat you can prepare, I can pay." He exclaimed from the door of the restaurant before walking through the restaurant.

Shortly after him a few other captains entered, "Luffy-senpai can we eat with you?" Bartolomeo asked with a blush, still not used to the fact that he was this close to his role model.

"Ahh of course Crest-head" Luffy replied quickly, meanwhile the rest of the captains moved some unoccupied tables and brought them together in the middle of the restaurant.

Meanwhile the Navy soldiers still lined up on the dock stared at the pirates in fear, each of them shaking as the pirates walked past them.

"Pirate scum, why are we letting them go?" one of the marines muttered.

"You think you're letting us go? You sure think highly of your skills." A voice from behind the angry marine answered.

"Ro-Roronoa..." The marine said as he turned, "Why did he have to hear that?" he cursed himself mentally as the green haired swordsman stood in front of him.

"RORONOA!" A loud voice behind the swordsman called for him, he turned around only to find that the voice belonged to a certain marine captain.

"Are you ready yet? Rival." Zoro teasingly replied to the captain as he put his hand on Wado Ichimonji.

"Always." Tashigi replied before pulling her sword out of its sheathe.

She dashed towards him with magnificent speed and slashed towards him only to be stopped by the green haired swordsman.

Some of the pirates noticed the clash between the two sword masters and rushed towards them in an attempt to stop their captain's first mate from conflict.

Robin walked in front of them with an extended arm, "They're just playing, no need to interfere." She said to the worried pirates.

"Playing? With the Captain of the marines?" The whispers spread through the small group of pirates, they relaxed a bit and started observing the clash of swords.

"Thank you Captain-chan." The worried marine said before crawling from the ground and joining his comrade who he was chatting with a minute ago.

"When I said guard the dock, I didn't mean provoke the pirates, you think I like them?" Tashigi rhetorically asked the two marines who were now watching her fight.

"I think you do." Zoro reply instead of the two marines as he blocked another attack from the now blushing captain.

"SHUT UP, RORONOA!" Tashigi yelled at the swordsman as she went for another attack.

Quite a crowd gathered around the two fighters, both pirates and marines. "I'm betting 3000 beli on Roronoa-san" One of the pirates exclaimed, shortly after a bunch of other bets followed.

Marines now joined the pirates in their gambling as they placed bets on their cute Captain-chan.

Zoro now smiled at the occupied captain, she blocked each of his attacks returning strikes quickly. Only a few people in the whole crowd could even notice the attacks.

"Wow, so fast. How are they doing that?" The compliments came flying towards the fighting pair.

"It's over." Zoro exclaimed as he pushed her and pulled out another sword.

Tashigi now struggled, avoiding his attacks and blocking them got even more difficult. Her feet very slowly giving out to the pressure he was giving with each strike.

Zoro spun quickly disarming the brunette and sending her to the ground, before anyone could react he pierced the ground with both swords, each sword on their own side of her body.

He leaned downwards while leaning on his swords, their lips inches away, a devilish grin residing on his lips.

Crowd watched in awe, to think that he did all that before anyone could react, he could've killed her and they wouldn't even notice. The worried whispered spread through the crowd.

The pair now looked into each others eyes, completely disconnected from the outside world, not worrying about anything, his lips slowly approached hers.

Supporting herself on one elbow while her other hand tried to push him away, she placed the hand on his chest in an attempt to push him aside.

But to no avail, powerless under him, her lips got captured. He kissed her passionately, the crowd looked in shock, both marines and pirates stood silently, watching the pair.

Her hand that was supposed to push him away now gripped his shirt and pulled him closer. He cursed at himself mentally, "Why the fuck did I choose to hold myself up with swords, I want to touch her."

Their long awaited reunion kiss, they indulged in each other's scent, completely oblivious of the silence around them.

"Let's... Let's just leave them." One of the pirates whispered as he slowly backed away.

The rest of the crowd slowly followed the advice, both sides backed away from the couple, who knows what would happen if they interfered.

Both of them could defeat the whole crowd in a matter of seconds, and they all knew how merciless Roronoa Zoro was.

Meanwhile some of the Straw Hats observed from their ship, Sanji now with a smile yelled at the couple, "It's just swordsman's honor, huh?".

The couple stopped kissing as the yell startled them, Zoro turned his head towards the ship where he saw the blonde chef standing with a cigarette in his mouth.

"If that's swordsman's honor, I wouldn't mind switching to swords." Sanji added before walking back towards his kitchen with a grin.

The pair looked around a bit and noticing that the crowd was no longer there, they both smiled sporting blushed on their cheeks.

"You've improved, I had to use two swords." Zoro said before placing another kiss on her lips.

"Will I reach three soon?" Tashigi teasingly asked the man above her before kissing him once more.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, Captain-chan" He replied before getting up and returning her sword to her with a grin.
