The Guard And The Princess II
An: This is a continuation of my first one shot since people have been asking to continue it so here you go! I'm friendly so don't hesitate to ask me to write something! Enjoy! :D
Zoro walked with Coby to the barracks and when he got there the carts and goods for Olvia and Robins journey were all prepared,
"Coby,"
"Sir!"
"Make sure the men get an early sleep today, no drinks are allowed tonight"
"Yes sir!"
Coby saluted Zoro and walked off to the men's quarters, he saw a soldier sleeping under a tree and sighed,
"Oi! You're on guard right soldier?!"
The soldier stood up immediately and almost fell due to the drowsiness,
"Yes s-sir!"
"Well then look like it Ussopp! You want to be a commanding officer like me right?"
"Y-yes Sir!"
"Let's try not to fall asleep on guard duty first!"
"Y-Y-Yes sir!"
Zoro walked towards the training grounds and Ussopp relaxed then leaned against the tree, Zoro watched as his men swung the wooden swords and sparred against each other. A couple of months ago he was just like them, training and following Mihawks orders, but now he's a commander. He never expected this, he just wanted to be by Robins side.
Zoro shook his head, he should get the weapons from Franky. They should be finished by now. After an hour of walking into different shops and helping the townsfolk he reached Franky's blacksmith.
"Oi Franky!"
"Zoro-bro! How's the princess?"
Zoro leaned against the shop wall and a man with huge muscles came out with a massive grin,
"Like always, the weapons finished?"
"Yep they're done, wait here"
Zoro waited and Franky came out with a big box filled with swords and ammunition,
"I'll be on my way, excuse me"
"No need bro, come back anytime!"
"Got it"
Zoro started to walk away with the box and Franky shouted,
"STAY SUPPERR ZORO-BRO!"
Zoro chuckled and then signaled a goodbye,
Zoro got up to the front gate and knocked two times, the gates opened slightly and the guards saluted him then stood to the side.
Zoro reached the armory and put the weapons in,
"Helmeppo!"
"S-sir!"
"Sort out these weapons between the men tomorrow morning got it?"
"Y-yes sir!"
Zoro walked out of the armory and did not expect this, the princess was waiting for him outside the armory.
Zoro bowed and lifted his head,
"Miss Robin, may I ask what you are doing outside the castle?"
"Well I came to see you commander, follow me please"
Zoro sighed and Robin giggled, Robin walked into the castle with Zoro close behind
She entered the library with Zoro and the guards stepped outside after bowing and saluting,
"I'm bored when I'm writing letters, and since you have free time I thought I might ask you to keep me company,"
Zoro sat down on a chair next to Robin and she began writing,
"Who's it for?"
"Princess Vivi, I wanted to ask if she would like to meet me at the stables in her country when we go to the party tomorrow"
Zoro unsheathed one of his swords and took out a cloth, he began cleaning it and Robin watched him in the corner of her eye.
"Zoro?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you tell me how you got those swords someday?"
Zoro raised an eyebrow in question and looked at Robin,
"Interested?"
"Maybe..."
"Sure, not today though"
"Ok, just make sure you remember"
Robin finished the letter then opened a book nearby and began reading, after a couple of hours she found Zoro asleep with book opened on his face, she giggled. If any soldiers or guards came in now his reputation will be ruined.
"Zoro? Wake up commander"
"Huh? Oh shit, Uh I mea-"
"It's ok Zoro, I prefer you to be yourself"
"Yeah yeah I know,"
Zoro looked outside the window then stood up and stretched,
"It's getting late, judging by the color it's ten at night"
"Walk me to my room Zoro. Please?"
"Got it,"
Zoro and Robin walked out of the library and as they got to her room a child was waiting for them,
"Chopper?"
"Zoro! Ah! P-p-princess R-Robin! I'm so sorry for my manners!"
"It's ok Chopper-San, I asked of you to be calm around me"
"Sorry..."
Zoro: "Did you come to check on her for tomorrow?"
"Yes, please come in princess Robin"
Zoro and Robin said their goodbyes and parted ways from there,
Tomorrow there's going to be a party at Alabasta with lots of different kings, Queens Princes and even Knights and commanders like Zoro himself.
Robin might even ask Zoro to dance with her...
Again...
