"You must save her because you are the only one who can find her heart".
Zoro woke up and look around the room trying to figure out where that voice came from. "Save her?" Zoro questioned out loud.
"Yes, only you, Roronoa Zoro can save Cherry from her curse".
Zoro shook his head to get rid of the annoying voice. He barely knew this Cherry woman and now this mystery voice wants him to find her heart to save her. Zoro scoffed and push the covers off of him. He grabs his swords and places them on his hip. He stands from the bed and stretches his body with little pain. He opens the door and is met with the smell of food.
"I guess I am hungry" Zoro said as his stomach growled at the aroma.
After getting lost a couple of times he finds the kitchen where the woman, Cherry, is currently cooking breakfast.
"Morning Tiger" Cherry calls over her shoulder "Breakfast will be ready in a minute".
Zoro simply grunted and took a seat at the table.
"So, how was your sleep?" Cherry asks as she flips the pancakes.
"Fine" Zoro grumbled. He didn't know if she was friend or foe so he answered as little as possible.
"Not a morning person I see", Cherry laughs and places the food on the plate, "Well eat up" she said as a hot plate of food sat in front of Zoro.
Zoro stared at the food then he looks at Cherry and says, "Why are you not eating?"
"Food is just something my body doesn't need", Cherry said as she sips her water, "Go ahead and eat, I promise your food is safe", she said smiling, "But it's been awhile since I cooked but it is edible."
Zoro looks back at his food and ate hungrily, "It's not bad and you could give ero-cook a run for his money", Zoro said between bites.
"Ero-cook? His he one of your friends?" Cherry asked.
"He's just a shitty cook on our pirate ship" Zoro said.
"Oh so, you're a pirate. From which crew?" Cherry asks.
Zoro stops eating and stands from the table, "Thanks for the food but I have to get going".
Cherry smiles sadly and says, "Oh, okay, that's fine, I shouldn't have kept you here any longer than you wanted", she cast her eyes down to the table, "It just been a while since I had someone who could see me."
Zoro raise his eyebrow at Cherry and felt bad for thinking she was a Marine. She only wanted to ask questions because she was curious, "Well, you can help me find a snail phone so I can contact my crew."
At this Cherry's face brighten and a grin split her face in half, "Sure thing Tiger."
Zoro growled, "My name is Zoro not Tiger."
***On the Thousand Sunny***
"Guys, I found an Island", Nami said as she walked into the galley with her map.
"Awesome Nami, where is the Island?" Luffy asked as his smile returned.
Nami unrolls the map, "We are here", she points to an area on the Grand Line sea, "And here", she points to the small island, "Is where Zoro should have wash up at with the way the currents went yesterday" Nami said proudly.
"Nami-san, you are so beautiful when you talk about your maps so dearly" Sanji said as his body wiggled.
"What are you talking about Sanji? Nami is always beautiful even when she doesn't talk maps" Luffy says as he picks his nose.
Robin laughs behind her hand, Nami face started to turn red as Sanji on the other hand saw red, and everyone else just gawked at Luffy.
"Shitty captain" Sanji yelled as he started kicking Luffy.
Luffy blocks Sanji's kicks and laughs at his attempts.
-Ahem- "Nami, how long before we get to the Island" Robin said.
"It will take us two days" Nami said while snapping out of her stupor.
"Sanji when will the food be done?" Robin asked.
Sanji stops fighting with Luffy and went 'ero-cook' mode, "Why it is almost done my lovely", Sanji said as his body danced.
Nami mouths 'Thank You' to Robin as she understood Robin's intentions. Robin smiles and continues to distract Sanji.
"Hey Usopp, do you think Luffy likes Nami?" Chopper whispered as he eyed Luffy.
"I'm not sure Chopper" Usopp whispered back.
The snail phone started to ring and Franky answered it since he was closest.
"Everyone, its Zoro-bro!" Franky said.
Everyone ran towards Franky and started talking all at once calling for Zoro.
"One at a time guys" Zoro replied.
"Zoro are you alright?" Luffy said.
"Yeah, Luffy, I'm fine" Zoro replied.
"Zoro, forgive me for causing you trouble" Chopper said as tears prick his eyes.
"Chopper, you never cause me trouble since it is usually me who cause you trouble", Zoro replied, "Plus be a man and dry your tears".
"Zoro I'm glad you are okay" Usopp said.
"Same here Zoro" Robin said.
"Thanks Usopp, Robin", Zoro said sheepishly.
"Yohohoho, I thought I would never hear you again but then again I don't have ears to listen" Brook said while laughing.
"If you don't have ears to listen then how are you hearing me talk?" Zoro replied with a smirk.
"Shitty Swordsman, causing us trouble" Sanji said with a little bit a care.
"Shut it, shitty cook" Zoro replied with some care.
"Zoro, is the Island you on called Sentry?" Nami asked.
"Hold on, let me ask Cherry", Zoro said. Voices could be heard going back and forth and Zoro said, "Yeah that's the Island. So how many days before you reach here?"
"We will be there in two days, tops" Nami said.
"Alright, I guess I will see you guys in two days" Zoro said.
Goodbyes were said and Franky hung up the snail phone.
"I wonder what kind of person would help Zoro without being scared of him" Usopp said.
"Whoever it is has my thanks for saving Zoro", Luffy said with a grin.
***Zoro and Cherry***
Zoro hung up the snail phone and a smile could be seen on his face. He turns to Cherry and says, "Thanks for your help…Cherry", he says as his face tinted a little red.
Cherry smiles, "You are welcome…Tiger". Cherry starts to laugh at Zoro's now scowling face.
"Damn woman and her nicknames" Zoro mumbled.
"Well, we have two days to get to know each other before you leave Zoro" Cherry says.
Zoro looks at Cherry and turns his red face, "Whatever, woman."
Cherry laughs at his tough guy attitude and pulls him by the arm. Zoro doesn't resist and allows Cherry to drag him back to her house.
