Zoro braced himself for the pain that would come from the bullets hitting him but they never came. Zoro opened his eyes to see that the bullets were surrounded in what looked like flesh. His eyes followed the trail of rubbery flesh to see it coming from Luffy who stood in front of him the bullet lodged in his body.

"LUFFY!" Zoro cried thinking the boy was badly hurt with all those bullets in his body. But a giggle came from the raven haired boy as the bullets bounced back out of his body and hit the men that fired at them. Screams of pain and agony followed from some of the shooters. Zoro stared at Luffy completely amazed and confused. Luffy laughed and placed a hand on his straw hat and looked at his handy work and the stunned faces of Morgan and his men.

"Luffy… h-how did you?" Zoro stuttered walking closer to him.

"I'm made of rubbed." Luffy's face broke out into a face breaking smile. Luffy hooked a finder in his cheek and pulled his cheek a good foot away from his face. Zoro blinked again finally understand what the papers meant when it said he had the hidden power of rubber.

"Men if gun don't work then used knives and swords!" Morgan ordered angrily. This time the men who weren't too badly injured from the bullets pulled out knives and swords from their sheaths at their sides and charged at them. Zoro figured yes rubber could block bullets but not sword and knife cuts. He spun and the sound of metal hitting metal resounded through the hallway. Zoro was crouched with his back to the men his two hand swords crossed above his head all the swords and knives affectively stopped by his swords.

"I-it's Z-Zoro the demon!" one of the men gasped Zoro snorted finding it annoying it took them that long to see that it was him.

"your in my way. Do you know what I do when people are in my way?" Zoro asked in an eerie voice that would make the men behind his gasp and shake in fear. They knew Zoro's reputation and he liked that.

"Zoro duck!" Luffy yelled. Zoro looked up from under the edge of his bandana to see Luffy stretching his leg back behind him. Zoro's senses screamed at him to move and he obeyed them out of habit as Luffy's sandaled foot swooped toward him. Zoro ducked down as it swept over his head knocking the men behind him away. The men tumbled to the ground beside and around Morgan's feet. Morgan's face turned five shades of red as he yelled in anger and charged at them his hand axe raised above his head. Zoro and Luffy both jumped away from the mighty swing.

"Luffy get back I've got to take him out!" Zoro ordered Luffy only nodded and jumped away as Zoro crossed his two swords across his chest and rushed forward with inhuman speed at Morgan, Zoro uncrossed his arms in the blink of an eye as he slipped past Morgan. A strange gurgling sound came from Morgan as blood dripped on the ground. Suddenly the man hit the ground like a ton of bricks his eyes rolled back in his head and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Zoro was breathing hard as he sheathed his swords and reached down and closed Morgan's unseeing eyes.

"Thanks." Zoro nodded to Luffy his thanks.

"He he he." Luffy smiled as Zoro grabbed his wrist again and they both ran for the door leading outside. Zoro hissed as his vision was starting to swim from blood loss from the bullet wounds he got earlier. Zoro and Luffy reached the door and Zoro yanked it open and they ran out. Something in Zoro's mind warned him to get back, then he hear a click.

"GET BACK!" Zoro yelled yanking Luffy back as a furry of gun fire whizzed past them as they ducked back into the hallway building they were just in.

"Shit!" Zoro cursed.

"Who are they?" Luffy asked worried as they hid behind the frame of the door.

"Trouble that's what they are." Zoro growled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a walkie-talkie and clicked the button.

"ACE! Ace you there?" Zoro yelled over the gun fire. Beside him Luffy's eyes lit up at the mention of his step brother's name. It took a few moments for the other raven haired man to answer on the other end.

"Zoro? Zoro is that you?" Ace's voice came through the device.

"So shit it's me dumb ass! Where are you?" Zoro demanded.

"Just outside of the city are you finished? Are you in a gun fight?" Ace's voice sounded full of worry. Zoro rolled his eyes as he wondered if Ace was deaf and couldn't hear the constant gun shots in the background.

"Yes the Marines showed up get your ass here-"

BANG! BANG! BANG!"

"GAHH!" Zoro cried out as 3 bullets hit him in the side he slumped down the wall in pain.

"ZORO!" Luffy panicked kneeing down to look at the three bullet wounds in the green haired mans side. Zoro hissed in pain holding his bleeding side.

"Zoro! Zoro, you there? What happened?" Ace came through again.

"Ace don't worry about me just get your ass over here so we can get Luffy out of here!" Zoro yelled as he coughed up blood. This wasn't good. The marines were everywhere at the end of the back alley. They were going to have a hard time getting away without Luffy being caught or hurt in the cross fire.

"Zoro! Zoro are you going to be ok?" Luffy's worried face filled Zoro's swimming and darkening vision. Zoro hissed and slowly pushed himself off the wall and stood up shakily.

"Yeah, don't worry about me I've been through worse. Ace is on his way." Zoro informed him. The worried look didn't leave Luffy's face. Zoro pressed himself against the wall. The gunfire had died down. But they were still out there. They were just waiting for them to make a move or come into view so they could turn him into Swiss cheese. Zoro scanned the alley trying to find a way to get by without being shot or seen but there was none. He swore and looked for a way to get cover or get the least amount of damage when they were escaping but there was nothing in the alley.

"Damn. There's no cover." Zoro muttered. His walkie-talkie went off.

"Zoro! Luffy do you read me?" Ace's voice broke Zoro's mussing.

"Luffy hand me that would you." Zoro asked gently in a husky voice. Luffy nodded and reached down and grabbed the device from where Zoro had dropped it and placed it into his hand. Zoro nodded his thanks and pressed the button.

"Yeah Ace I'm here." Zoro answered.

"I'm outside the alleyway there's no way in the Marines are all over the place." Ace informed him. Zoro sighed and leaned his head back against the wall and thought for a moment.

"Ok Ace we'll be there in a moment." Zoro coughed as he shut off the device and looked at Luffy with a serious look.

"Alright Luffy we're going to have to make a break for it. No matter what happens to me just. Keep. Running. Do you understand?" Zoro looked Luffy straight in the eye. Luffy's face turned into an angry one he was battling with himself in his mind on whether to obey Zoro or to do what he seemed to thing was better. Zoro sighed.

"No I'm going to help Zoro." Luffy huffed in a pout turning his head in the other direction.

"Look Luffy It's my job to make sure you get out of here safe and sound. I don't need to have to worry about you to getting caught. So run in front of me and don't turn around no matter what." Zoro said firmly. Luffy glared at him and Zoro glared back at him. This glaring match went on for a few more second then Luffy growled and nodded. Zoro smirked in victory. Luffy reluctantly stood ready to run in front of Zoro.

"Alright… GO!" Zoro yelled and they both took off running down the alley way. The bullets and gun shots resumed and the bullets whizzed by their hands as they ran. Many bullets just grazed them but some did hit Zoro in the back. Thankfully most of them missed hitting his vital points in his body. Suddenly Ace's black car came into view. Both he and Luffy ran faster toward it. Zoro Raced ahead and yanked the backseat door open and Shoved Luffy inside and slammed the door shut. He then leapt into the passenger seat and slammed the door closed.

"ACE!" Luffy gasped in joy.

"Luffy your ok!" Ace smiled.

"Look save the tear jerking reunion for later and step on it!" Zoro yelled as a bullet shattered the glass of his window. Ace nodded and slammed his foot down on the gas pedal the tires squealed and they sped off. Ace started making his crazy turns and stunts to get away from the scene. Luffy was in the back seat whooping and cheering Ace on with a crazy smile on his face. Zoro groaned noting to never ever let Luffy drive a car if he had a say in it. They quickly hit the highway that lead back to their home city and back toward the Whitebeard Company. The highway was deserted nobody coming in any direction. Zoro sighed in relief as he slumped against the window gasping for breath and pulled off his bandana shoving it into his pocket.

"Zoro! Ace pull over Zoro needs help!" Luffy demanded. Ace slowed down the car and edged it over to the shoulder of the road where some trees were. It was a perfect place to provide cover while they tended to him.

"Forget about me. Let's just get back home." Zoro moaned as he pressed a hand against his bleeding shoulder to stop the flow of blood. Ace reached over and slapped him upside the head.

"Like I'd let you go and die of blood loss by the time we got there. Zoro I'm your brother and I'm going to take care of you. If you have a problem with that, deal with it!" Ace growled at him as he got out of the car. Zoro glared daggers at him behind his back.

"Besides I own Zoro one now anyway!" Luffy smiled in the back seat. Zoro sighed in defeat knowing he didn't have to strength to fight them off. Ace closed the door on his side of the car.

"Luffy I need you to carry him over to the trees. I'll get the first aid kit." Ace ordered as he opened Zoro's door. Luffy hopped out of the backseat and took hold of one of Zoro's arms and pulled it over his shoulder and wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him out of the car and into the cover of the trees. Ace popped open the glove box and pulled out his first aid kit and followed close behind. Zoro winced as Luffy laid him down in a grassy area under a tree. Luffy then proceeded to sit cross legged next to him in the darkness.

"just let me get some light so I can work." Ace pulled out a small lamp. Zoro still glared at them which the two raven haired males ignored. With a simple snap of Ace's fingers the wick was lit and the area was lit with an orangish glow. He then walked over and knelt down next to Zoro and pulled off his black fur lined jacket and Zoro's now blood cotton shirt. Beside Zoro, Luffy's eyes widened at Zoro's bare chest. Zoro didn't even have to look to know what he was staring at. Luffy was of course staring at all the scars that danced across Zoro's body, up his arms and down his back. Ace didn't give them a second glance as he started checking the bullet wounds. Ace checked them all then cursed under his breath.

"This is bad Zoro. I'm going to have to take the bullets out, and it's going to hurt. A lot so I might need to put you under for a while." Ace commented sitting back thoughtfully. Zoro snapped his attention to Ace.

"Like hell you're going to come a mile near me with that stuff!" Zoro yelled pushing himself up onto his elbows. Luffy pushed him back down by his shoulders. Zoro glared at them both.

"Look I don't want you to be in any more pain. And that's the only way I can do it." Ace continued Luffy looked at him completely lost.

"What are you talking about Ace?" Luffy asked. Both Ace and the angry patient on the ground ignored him and continued to ignore him and glared at each other. Ace's face suddenly broke out into an evil smirk and he looked at Luffy.

"Luffy it seems that Zoro doesn't want to do this willingly. So we're going to have to force him." Ace decided, Luffy caught on and an evil smile made its way onto his face. Both he and Ace looked back at Zoro with a mischievous glint in their eyes and smirks on their faces. Zoro swallowed and tried to move away from them. In an instant Luffy pounced on him, straddling him pinning his arms away from his body so he couldn't push him off.

"What the hell! Get off!" Zoro struggled against the rubbery boy but he was stronger than he looked. Zoro's eyes darted over to Ace who had a bottle of chloroform and put some of the contents onto a clean rag he had in his hands.

"Oh no! You're not making me breathe that shit!" Zoro fought harder against Luffy harder. But his failing strength from blood loss wasn't helping much at all. He cursed more as Ace moved closer to him the rag poised in his hand. A stream of curses came from Zoro's mouth as he tried to move his head away from the hand but it didn't work. Zoro took a deep breath and held it as Ace placed the rag over his mouth.

"Come on Zoro it'll only put you to sleep. I promise." Ace tried to comfort him. Zoro shook his head and continued to hold his breath. Ace's face fell into a serious one as he reached with his free hand and squeezed Zoro's nose closed. After a moment Ace heard Zoro gasp for air and take in a few deep breaths of the Chloroform. Zoro's eyes become far off and distant and the angry look in his eyes changed to ones of fear and hurt.

"D-don't want t-to go b-back." Zoro whispered in a sad sobbing voice as his eyes slid closed and his body went limp. Luffy moved off the now sleeping green haired man. Luffy had watched the whole exchange silently but it left him confused. He turned to look at Ace. Ace was gazing at Zoro with a guilty sad look.

"Don't worry you're not going back there. Not if I can help it." Ace whispered as he ruffled Zoro's hair.

"Why do you have that mystery stuff?" Luffy asked tilting his head to the side. Ace flinched visibly as he put away the rag.

"Uhm… I'll explain later." Ace promised as he pulled out some tweezers and bandages from the kit as well as some anesthetic. Luffy nodded and went back to watching for Zoro who was now asleep. After about half an hour of work Ace had finished removing all of the bullets from Zoro's body and was closing up the wounds and wrapping his body in bandages.

"Why does he have so many scars?" Luffy wondered out loud looking back at Ace. Ace shook his head and didn't look at him.

"Sorry that's not my story to tell you Luffy." Ace apologized not meeting Luffy's gaze.

"But any way Luffy, I'm glad you're ok." Ace smiled as he finished wrapping Zoro up. Luffy smiled and laughed as he leapt at Ace and wrapped his arms around the older male's waist. Ace hugged him back and ruffled the teen's hair.

"Now next time I tell you to come straight home. Come straight home." Ace said sternly Luffy stuck out his lower lip in a childish pout.

"But that building smelled like adventure." Luffy muttered Ace rolled his eyes.

"now how about we get sleeping beauty over here back to the car and get back home." Ace winked at Luffy. Luffy laughed and stood up brushing off his knees and pants and position his hat back on his head. Ace pick Zoro up bridal style and carried him back to the car. Luffy grabbed the kit and opened the door. Ace gently place Zoro back into the passenger seat and pulled the males white coat with black fur lining on him to keep him warm and buckled him into the seat. Luffy hopped into the backseat and Ace hopped over the hood and slip into the driver seat.

"Lets go!" Luffy cheer throwing his hands into the air.

"Alright hold on Luffy!" Ace called as he again slammed on the gas and they took off.

?assassin love?

"-ro, Zoro, Zoro! Wake up Zoro!" Luffy yelled as he slapped the top of Zoro's green head. Zoro was snoring propped up against the window.

"Zoro!" Luffy screamed in his ear. Zoro still didn't move or respond but just kept on snoring loudly. Ace leaned into the doorway and turned his pointer finger into a flame and held it near Zoro's hand but not too close that it would burn. After a moment Zoro's eyes snapped open and he snatched his hand away hissing in pain.

"God that's hot!" Zoro cursed rubbing his hand Luffy cracked up laughing in the backseat clapping his hands together. Zoro glared at him.

"What was that for Ace!" Zoro turned his attention to the flame assassin knowing he was the only one stupid enough to hold his fire that close to his hand. Ace was busy snickering from where he stood leaning against the car door on the sidewalk.

"We're back." He said between snickers. Zoro narrowed his eyes at him but looked behind him to see he wasn't lying they were back to at the company.

"Let's go." Ace ordered as he headed for the front lobby of the building. Zoro groaned and got out of the black car. The bandages around his torso greatly constricting his movements which he hated also he hated that Ace had put him to sleep with that sweet smelling stuff. Ace knew how much he hated someone using drugs and stuff like that on him since… well since they used him. Luffy walked up beside Zoro with a big smile on his face like normal. Ace held the door open for them when they entered. Nojiko looked up from her work to see them enter the room.

"Hey your back! So I guess this is Luffy?" Nojiko got up and walked around the counter to investigate Luffy.

"neshishishi! Hi! Who are you?" Luffy asked still smiling, liking Nojiko by the moment.

"Nojiko, Nice to finally meet you Luffy. Your brother over there wouldn't shut up about Zoro going on this mission for over a month. He would talk everyone's ear off about you." Nojiko teased shooting a joking look over at Ace who was fuming at her behind her back. Zoro laughed at his adopted brothers actions. Nojiko turned her attention to Zoro.

"YOU! What did you do now? You're all bloody and beaten!" Nojiko yelled stomping to Zoro. Zoro backed up a few steps knowing that Nojiko had a bad temper when she was angry.

"What happened?" Nojiko demanded.

"N-nothing woman." Zoro replied quickly. Looking away with a deep blush on his face.

"Oh Zoro got shot by those guys." Luffy answered her. Zoro glared at him for having told her.

"You got shot! You idiot what did you do get lost?" Nojiko grumbled narrowing her eyes at Zoro. Zoro swallowed and raised his hands in surrender but he then caught her words. His face changed into one of anger.

"I DON'T GET LOST!" Zoro yelled back at her. Nojiko sent him one of her devilish glares. Ace and Luffy began laughing at the embarrassed look on Zoro's face.

"Alright Nojiko I think you've tormented them enough for now." A new voice laughed from behind the group. Zoro looked behind Nojiko happy someone had come to save him from her blue haired wrath, behind then stood Marco smiling leaning against the counter.

"Hey Marco." Zoro greeted. Marco nodded his head toward him.

"Ace you didn't radio in telling us you were on your way back." Marco said very seriously his smile fading from his face. Ace jumped and sweat dropped.

"s-sorry got a little caught up." Ace stuttered trying to think of an excuse for the moment. Zoro liked how now Ace was under fire now. Luffy was now rolling on the floor laughing his head off at the entire conversation. Marco motioned with his head for them to follow him to the elevator. Zoro reached down and grabbed the still laughing Luffy by the back of his vest collar and drug him along with them. Nojiko waved them goodbye as she went back to her desk to work. All 4 of them entered the elevator. Luffy finally settled down and stood next to Ace. Zoro moved to the corner of the elevator and tried to distance himself from the others. Zoro had begun to enjoy Luffy's presence but Zoro knew it wasn't going to last much longer. Once Zoro brought Luffy back Ace and Shanks would take him away with them like the family they should be. Marco turned to look Zoro over.

"You look a little worse for wear. After we finish business with Whitebeard you head down to the nurses office." Marco directed Zoro nodded trying to remember what level the nurses office was on in the huge corporation. The elevator dinged to a stop and the door slid open revealing the long hallway. Luffy oohed and awed as they walked down the hallway to the large double boors. Marco pushed the door open and everyone quickly entered the room. Shanks stood up a smile playing on his face when they entered.

"Shanks!" Luffy roared running up to the red haired man wrapping his arms Shank's middle.

"Luffy! I'm so glad you're ok!" Shanks smiled. Ace walked forward smiling too. Zoro stayed back away from the group that was now hugging and crying on each other mostly Luffy was crying, happy to be home. The whole thing made Zoro's heart ache something awful. Seeing as Whitebeard wasn't in the room at the moment and Marco had left to give them their moment together, Zoro decided it was time for him to make his exit. So he turned to leave with his arm resting on the hilts of his three swords.

"Zoro where are you going?" Luffy called. Zoro looked over his shoulder to Luffy who was looking straight at him with a blank look on his face. Zoro shrugged.

"My job is done. You need to go back with your family, don't let me disturb you." Zoro replied to him as he made another move to leave but a strong hand grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him back into the room before he could escape.

"Oh no you don't. get your green haired ass back in here. We still need to thank you." Ace dragged Zoro back over to Luffy and Shanks and dumped him on the floor in front of them.

"You don't need to thank me!" Zoro grumbled as he straightened up and crossed his arms and turned away. Zoro looked over at them, Shanks was rolling his eyes, Luffy was glaring at Zoro, Ace groaned.

"Look Zoro not many people would have gone against Morgan to save Luffy. And I want to thank you for doing that." Shanks moved forward and hugged Zoro. Shanks had never hugged Zoro before and this sudden display of affection took Zoro by surprise. Shanks let him go and Zoro still stood rooted to the spot. Ace pulled Zoro into a head lock.

"You save my little brother whish even I couldn't do after all these years so I have to thank you." Ace thanks him. Zoro was still in surprised, Ace too had never hugged him before. Zoro came back to him senses and shoved Ace off him blush creeping up to his face. Before Zoro could brace himself Luffy latched onto him.

"He-hey!" Zoro gasped in surprise.

"Thanks for saving me Zoro." Luffy smiled. Zoro blushed more and awkwardly patted Luffy's raven haired mop. But oddly enough this show of affection from the people Zoro had come to know so well kind of helped fill that whole in Zoro's heart that had been there since the day he was saved. The door opened and everyone head shot up to see who entered. Whitebeard walked in Marco at his side.

"Zoro well done today." Whitebeard complimented.

"You're welcome Whitebeard-san." Zoro replied as he tried to push Luffy off him again because the little rubbery teen was starting to strangle him. The sudden movement caused one of Zoro's wounds to reopen. Zoro gasped in pain and clutched his side.

"Zoro!" Ace and Luffy panicked. Whitebeard looked at them then back.

"Zoro go home and get some rest then come back tomorrow for your next job." Whitebeard ordered. Zoro nodded as Ace wrapped an arm around his shoulder and helped him stay upright.

"Luffy go home and I'll take Zoro back to his house." Ace said quickly helping Zoro to the door.

"No." Luffy refused loudly. Everyone was shocked at that and stared at Luffy.

"W-what?" Shanks looked at him confused.

"I'm not going home with Ace." Luffy huffed sitting down cross legged on the floor. Whitebeard laughed and looked at Luffy with an expectant look.

"May I ask why not?" Whitebeard wondered moving to sit down at his chair.

"Simple I'm staying with Zoro." Luffy replied in a matter a fact tone of voice. Everyone stared at him for a solid 3 minutes. Luffy got up and walked by Zoro.

"Alright Zoro lets go home." Luffy continued walking. Shanks Zoro and Ace jumped him.

"DON'T DESIDED THAT ON YOUR OWN!" they all yelled smacking him upside the head.

"What on earth possessed you to say that Luffy?" Shanks demanded shaking the teen by his shoulders.

"I want to stay and work with Zoro. What wrong with that?" Luffy asked picking his nose with his pinky a bored expression on his face.

"You idiot you just go back!" Zoro put in as he stood up by himself without Ace's help.

"So?" Luffy countered. Zoro opened and closed his mouth a few times but no words came out and he had no excuse for why he couldn't let Luffy stay with him. He had plenty of room in the Dojo he was renting from the Whitebeard Company. Johnny and Yosaku wouldn't have a problem with another person in the house. Also Zoro almost wanted Luffy to stay with him but that would be selfish and it was out of the question. Whitebeards loud laughing broke Zoro's mussing and everyone looked at the head of the company who was laughing like there was no tomorrow.

"so lad is that what you want? Do you want to be an assassin and live with Zoro?" Whitebeard looked Luffy straight in the eye.

"Yep." Luffy replied with a serious tone and face to match. Whitebeard laughed again.

"Alright then it's settled." Whitebeard chuckled.

"B-But Whitebeard-San!" Ace gapped trying to talk some since into the older man. Shanks rolled his eyes and dropped his head into his hands. Apparently once Luffy had set his mind to something there was no stopping him.

"Go now because Zoro is growing pale and I think he needs to go home." Whitebeard waved them off.

"Alright lets go Zoro!" Luffy marched toward the door. Zoro wobbled for a moment but followed Ace rushed forward.

"Let me take you home." Ace offered.

"Oh no. You're not driving me home with your crazy driving!" Zoro refused Ace looked at him with a false look on his face. Zoro and Luffy left the building but not before Zoro stopped by Ace's car and grabbed his duffle bag and put on a clean shirt and put on his denim jacket.

"Oh Zoro is it going to be a problem? Me living with you?" Luffy asked looking over at him from when he walked by Zoro's side.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE!" Zoro yelled at him slapping the teen upside the head. Luffy laughed and continued walking Zoro sighed began walking in the direction toward his home. Oddly enough he never got lost going to or from the Company building. Luffy and Zoro walked for a good half an hour before they stopped at the front door of Zoro's rented dojo

"But no it's fine if you live with me. There are 2 other people that live with me though." Zoro warned as he pulled out a key and unlocked the door, just as he opened the door wide enough for a person to fit through…

"ANIKI!" 2 people cried flying out the door and jumped onto Zoro hugging him crying their eyes out. Zoro and Luffy sweat dropped.

"Aniki your back!" Yosaku cried.

"We missed you so much!" Johnny sobbed into Zoro's chest. Zoro sighed and awkwardly patted their head and pushed them off.

"Johnny, Yosaku this is Luffy apparently he's going to be staying with us from now on." Zoro scratched the back of his head. Johnny and Yosaku got off Zoro and walked over to inspect Luffy.

"Luffy-aniki?" Johnny tried the word out then smiled and nodded his approval.

"Welcome to the family Luffy-Aniki!" Yosaku greeted. Zoro stared at them amused but the way Yosaku phrased the sentence caught Zoro off guard. They considered them family? Why? Zoro shook it off.

"alright I'm going to take a nap. Johnny wake me up when its morning ok?" Zoro asked scratching his head. Johnny nodded and Zoro headed to his room. Once there Zoro sat down and sighed. He was now starting to have a feeling this wasn't the best idea he's had in a while taking Luffy in to live with him. Also Zoro was letting g him get too close to him. Being an assassin against the government and working for the Whitebeard who had the most enemies in the world, having people close to you was against the rules. Because if you had people close to you they would be used against you and they would be in harm's way. Zoro couldn't even imagine what he would do if Johnny Luffy or Yosaku would be put in danger because of him. But then again trying to tell them that was like telling a brick wall. Zoro would just have to harden his heart against them even if he didn't want to. With a yawn Zoro decided to leave the matter for the morning as he pulled his sword out of his belt loop and placed them on the floor and laid down on the floor beside them. Quickly he fell into a fitful sleep full of dreams from the time he spent with those monsters.

?

Aniki- means big brother

Yes I'm still not telling about Zoro's past ^_~ but it'll come out soon don't worry
