ZORO'S OFFER
The night was cold and Zoro could feel the chilling wind creep in from the prison cell window that was located eight feet above him. He paid no heed to the wind however. He was sitting in a meditative stance just bearing with all of what he just told Tashigi. He was questioning himself as to why he gave up such precious information so easily. Then he remembered the face she gave him. It was a face of worry for his well being. The face Kuina never gave him even when he was beaten to the ground. His eyes were closed and his hands on his knees as he sat remembering the event. As he was in this state however he was oblivious to the sound of the door opening and closing and the presence of a woman in front of him. She stared at him wondering if he was asleep or just thinking. She had decided not to bring anything of his in hopes not to agitating him again. Zoro finally after realizing he wasn't along opened his eyes which reveled to him Tashigi. His eyes focused on her and he was about to speak but she beat him to it.
"Look I'm sorry about yesterday night Zoro. It was not only unprofessional of me but also completely uncalled for and wrong. I understand now just how much that sword means to you and how you must be feeling now that the only thing that connects you to Kuina has been torn from you with no remorse from your captors. I am sorry for that and also sorry that there is nothing that I can do to help you." She said holding her elbow with her left hand winkling her jacket as she did and fidgeting nervously as she didn't know if he would react peacefully or bring her more hostile images like last night. There was an uncomfortable silence in the room before Zoro brought himself to respond to her attempt at an apology.
"That's not the only thing that connects me to Kunia. There is also another thing that connects me to her that goes hand and hand with what that sword means to me. The Wado was passed down to me when I was still young from Kuria's father and my master. While I was shedding tears for her death I swore that I would become the strongest swordsman no matter what…for the both of us. That is the true connection that I share with her. The dream to be the best she something that we both shared, and after her death I decided I would take on her dream and through me…with her sword on my hip at all times…make it a reality. I swore to do this for her in her memory. That is the true connection that I share with her." He looked down to the floor for a moment and then back up to her giving her a bit of a smile. "And don't think that these iron bars will keep me from accomplishing the task I gave my life up for."
After those words were said Tashigi looked upon him with a smile and took out the key to his cell. Upon doing this she put it into the key hold and turned it. A click could be heard from the lock unlocking and Zoro's face was a mixture of confused and astonished. After this was done Tashigi opened the door and stepped out of the way. She then walked over to where his swords were being held and grabbed them holding the in her hands she held them out to Zoro and looked down. "Then go Roronoa Zoro. Go and chase your dream and to the ends of the Earth. Do it for the one you once admired and cared for." She said not lifting her head. All the guards were asleep at the late hour that she visited him and there was a ship in the docks the bared a skull and cross bones with a straw hat on it. The ship had just entered the port as she was saying all of this and a scream could be heard from the ships energetic captain
"ZORO!!!! WE'RE HERE RESCUE YOU!!!" At this of course all of the guards woke up and ran out of bed grabbing their weapons and rushing to the docks to dispose of the pirates. They didn't know of course what they had in stored for them when they got there. Zoro smiled at the words of his captain and looked towards the door then back to Tashigi. She returned the smile that he gave to her and as he fastened his swords onto his hip he said something that she was not ready for in the least. The words flowed out of his mouth in a serious yet compassionate way and she was taken back by every word of it. He simply said this. "Come with me"
