'Yelling in thought'
*Flashback*
Together we can face our fear; together we can make all the sadness disappear, together we can make no more tear; all the dreams can be true if we are together my dear. Together there is nothing to worry about, together we can go anywhere in or out, together we can make lot of beautiful things to be proud, and together everything can be found
SO GO AHEAD TO BE AS ONE HAND….by Angelica Ayman.
Zoro and Coby watched in horror as Marines took their aim at them and waiting at the command of ruthless, tyrant Captain Morgan, Coby is crying in fear and unable to move, he doesn't want to die after finally have the courage to escape from that brute woman Captain Alvida and to become a Marine, he never imagined to die in the hands of Marines, and as for Zoro he certainly doesn't want to die, he still have the promise he needs to finish and if he die, he'll die as failure for not accomplishing his and her dream.
"FIRE!" as Morgan shouted, the Marines pulled the trigger, as bullets have been fired nobody saw girl flying down from the window, she landed on the ground and a giant wall of water burst from the ground protecting her and her friends from harm.
Once that done, the water spattered on the ground and to everyone's surprise they're still alive including the girl laughing heartily and smirked.
"It won't work on me I told you I was strong," then she laughs like an insane person; the Marines in all their years of experience and hardships never seen such power display in front of their eyes and it frightens them except for Captain Morgan who doesn't seem fazed at all and Zoro isn't any better, his face is mixed with shock, disbelief, amazement, and downright angry for scaring him almost half to death, he doesn't know why they've only known for each other for like hours and they're already thought that he gonna lose her, but that girl has some sort of power that can protect her from anything and she didn't have the nerve to tell him about it.
"YOU WOULD'VE HAVE TELL ME JUST WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!?" Zoro shouted at her, Lara turn her head to Zoro and smiled.
"I'm Monkey D. Lara and I'm gonna be Queen of the Pirates!"
"You gonna be Queen of the Pirates, yeah right, you're even more crazy, do you have any idea what is that mean?" Zoro asked. He is not sure if her mind is in her right place or she could be completely lost it.
"Queen of the Pirates means Queen of the Pirates, how can it mean other than that," she answered him as simple as that. Then Coby said.
"Yeah, when she first told me it was shocking at first, but she's completely serious that how she is of course, she has every intention of becoming Queen of the Pirates and obtaining the greatest treasure of them all, the One Piece," now Zoro is even more surprised that Lara is willing to achieve her dream without of fear of dying, Lara grinned in big toothy grin while Zoro wondered if the girl's head got hit too much time as an infant, then Lara hands out the swords to Zoro.
"Here you go, just like I promised, there's three of them but I couldn't tell which one is yours, so I brought all of them."
"All of them belong to me I use Santoryu the Three Sword Style Technique" Zoro exclaimed.
"Hm, take them already, just so you know if you fight with me now you will be government define villain so is either that or get left out and get killed by Marines execution style," Lara declared. Zoro 'hn' and says.
"What are you the Devil's daughter, it doesn't matter because if I don't choose your side I'll be dead on these sticks so let's do it," then he smirk darkly that could make anyone cry like school girl but for Lara she just simply jump in joy for finally having Zoro as her first mate.
"YAHOOO~ my first mate this is going so awesome, thank you so~ much~" and then she gives Zoro a bear hug, Zoro is petrified by sudden cuddle and warmth made him light inside…and angry.
"WILL YOU STOP HUGGING ME AND START CUTTING THOSE ROPES ALREADY!" she removed herself from Zoro, giggled and did what he said, the Marines were still baffled at the girl's power that they have no idea how and what she is.
"What the…what is she?" one of the shocked Marine said.
"The bullets just stopped when the water spurt from the ground," the Marine couldn't believe his eyes that something like that happens. Then Morgan explains to his men.
"The Straw Hat is no ordinary girl; she must've eaten one of those Devil Fruit that we heard so much about."
"The Devil Fruit?"
"The hidden treasure of the sea!"
"The Devil Fruits, they say who ever eat one of those can gain extraordinary, other-worldly abilities, the power to breath fire, the power to cause tsunamis, rumors persist that they are many types of these Fruits, but it's next to nothing is known about…it is said that the secret is lays somewhere in the Grand Line…that no doubt about it that the Straw Hat girl has shown her Devil power," after Morgan described the tale of these Fruits, Lara is busy trying to untie those robes only make it tighter and that made Zoro and Coby more anxious and tells her to hurry it up.
"That doesn't matter what abilities they have, all have opposed me are consider traitors, if guns won't work then CHOP THEM!" Morgan shout at his Marines and the men obey his command, the Marines draw their swords and charge at the traitors, and both Coby and Zoro are freaking out that the Marines are charging them with swords while Lara didn't seem to notice.
"That funny the ropes got even tighter instead of loose," she scratched her head in confusion.
"GIVE ME MY DAMNED SWORDS NOW!"
"LARA!" then they thank the Lord from above that Lara has turned her head to see the Marines are coming at them. Coby watched in terror as Marines got close enough and raise their swords to rip them into shreds; Coby closed his eyes not wanting to see the gruesome site as he hears the slashing sound, he opened his eyes slowly and gaped, Zoro is free and stopped the onslaught Marines with his three swords, two on each hand and the other with white handle is between his teeth, with his incredible strength he succeeds on blocking every one of Marine's swords, Captain Morgan was shocked and angry that Zoro is loose while Coby and Lara are amazed on Zoro's speed and power, the Marines gasped but before they can make step Zoro said to them in the most intimidating manner.
"Make one move and you die," with that said. He made the entire Marines cry like babies.
"He's so scary," one of them whispers while crying.
"Today I am officially become a criminal having fought the Marines so I'll become a Pirate that I promise you…but I want to let you know one thing while I'm with you the only thing I dedicate myself to fulfill my ambition," said Zoro muffling through his sword.
"Which is?" Lara asked.
"To be nothing else than the World's Greatest Swordsman…if something should have happened along the way that stops from reaching my dream then you take full responsibility for it afterward you get to apologize to me directly," his tone shows seriousness and fortitude with equal of his expression.
"The World's Greatest Swordsman sounds good to me; the Queen of the Pirates wouldn't have any less than the best on her crew," then she smiled in glee and Zoro smirked that she answered him right.
"You've got guts for a little girl, from this point on no matter if I'm criminal or not, my name shall spread throughout the world and to the heaven above," Zoro exclaimed. Captain Morgan had had enough of this, so he shouts orders again.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING THERE FROZEN FOR, KILL THEM ALREADY RIGHT NOW!" the Marines flinched at their Captain's tone as they completely forgot on what they supposed to do, but Lara was way ahead of them.
"You might wanna duck, Zoro," Lara warned Zoro then she raise her left hand toward the Marines and then a string of water comes out from her palm hand stretching it to ten foot long to make it look like a whip, Zoro saw that and quickly did what he was told.
"Water Whip!" then she lashes her water like whip at the Marines knocking all of them out with her supreme strength, Captain Morgan gawked to see his men defeated by one girl with just with one hit.
"Wow, that amazing you knocked them all down," said Coby astonish at Lara's great water ability even Zoro is impressed, the knocked out Marines and Captain Morgan watched as they enthralled to one another that is so frightening that is impossible to stop them.
"Captain we don't stand a chance against them."
"He's right just look at them they're insane."
"We couldn't even take on Zoro by himself" each of those soldiers confess to Captain Morgan that they don't stand a chance and as for Morgan grind his teeth in fury and vein pulsed on his forehead.
"This is a direct order, every Marine that shows weaknesses pull out your guns and shoot yourself; you're nothing but weak and incompetent soldiers who can't even carry out on one simple order," Captain Morgan has insulted those men and ordered them to kill themselves and that made them feel infuriated and mortified.
"Hey Zoro, let's end this," said Lara sternly.
"You got it," and then both charge passing the Marines ready to pound Morgan to submission, Morgan saw their assault and put his axe hand on his chest, Lara's fist and Zoro's swords came in contact on Morgan's axe.
"Rank less low life bums, you have no rights to deify my superiority I'm Marine Captain Axe-hand Morgan," shouted Morgan as he removed his coat and throwing it.
"Tsk, as if I care who you are," said Zoro.
"You call yourself a Marine; you're the weak and incompetent one and because of you, you've destroyed Coby's dream I will never forgive you," with that said, the water erupt from her feet closing around her then for a brief moment the water unveil Lara in Mer-serpent mode, Coby cheered to Zoro and Lara with Marines and Captain are flabbergasted at the transformation while Zoro is blank.
"…First you have the power over water, and now you can grow into a fish tail, when this is over you better have a good explanation for all this," said Zoro.
"I promise," Lara smiled, then Morgan charged at Zoro and Lara using slash attack from his axe but Lara and Zoro are too quick for him, they both dodged from his assault but Morgan won't have any of that, he raised his axe up high and then he strikes it down and again Zoro sidestepped, and Lara jumped up in the air thus Morgan's axe hit the ground made it crack.
Up in the air, Lara flipped herself and smacked Morgan upside on his head with her tail and Zoro made a mad dash and kicked Morgan's face hard, every Marine was shocked to see the ruthless Captain Morgan is getting pummeled by them.
Morgan regains his fall and Lara and Zoro charge again; Morgan tries again by slicing them into meat cubes and again he misses, then Lara uses her Water Pistol and bash Morgan's gut making the spectators wince, and Zoro finish him off with one swift of his three blade striking Morgan's jaw knocking him out cold.
Lara and Zoro looked down at beat up Morgan and then the speechless Marines; none of them has ever thought is to see Captain Morgan is been defeated by two people only, then Zoro spoke.
"If there is anyone else who want to step forward and fight us then do it now," as they waited for the Marines to respond and surprise, surprise the Marines just cheer and saying free at last, it seems that Captain Morgan have been striking fear to both civilians and Marines that no one stand chance against him but now that he's beaten, they can finally have their lives back, Lara smiled at the happy Marines that she didn't notice Morgan woke up and ready to slice her in two, then Zoro sees Morgan prepared to kill her, in an instant he dash toward Morgan and slashed at Morgan's chest with his three swords causing a gash of blood sprinted on his chest, Morgan falls with a thud and everybody stood completely stilled afraid one sudden movement could wake the raging man but nothing happen so which means he's finished. Lara looked at Zoro as he put back his swords in his sheath and then she said softly.
"Thank you."
"I'm just doing my job…Captain," said Zoro with grin; Lara grinned in happiness hearing the word "Captain" from Zoro made her feel good inside.
"Now we can finally put that son of a bitch behind bars where he belongs," one of the Marines said.
"NO, ONE IS PUTTING MY DADDY IN JAIL!" everybody looked to see Helmeppo holding Coby's neck and pointing a gun on the boy's head that bastard coward Helmeppo is holding Coby hostage.
"IF YOU THINK YOU WIN THEN THINK AGAIN, WE RUN THIS TOWN SO WE CAN RUN YOU OUT!" Lara stared at shaking Helmeppo with a blank expression then at Coby, who looks a bit scared. Then Coby says.
"Don't worry about me, Lara; just don't give in, Lara."
"SHUT UP, NOW LISTEN MEN YOU ALL TAKE MY DADDY TO THE INFIRMARY OR FOUR-EYES GETS IT!" Helmeppo threaten everyone to do he says or let the pink hair boy die, the Marines are unsure on what to do, they don't want to help Morgan but they don't want the boy to die, then Lara's water erupt again to transform back to human again and then she walks slowly toward Helmeppo, the Marines are stupefied at the girl's action doesn't she realize that her act would cause the boy's death and as for Zoro, in some strange way he trusts the girl that she can save Coby.
"I SAID STAY BACK I'LL KILL HIM! I SWEAR I'LL KILL HIM!" Helmeppo keeps threatening at Lara and holding Coby tighter, Lara stopped with only five centimeter away from Helmeppo; then she tipped her hat.
"Do you really intend on taking someone's life, Helmeppo," said Lara, Helmeppo grind his teeth at the silly question, but Lara wasn't finished yet.
"I don't think you can because you never took someone's life before, you always let your Father do the killing for you…isn't that right?"
"YOU'RE WRONG AND I'LL SHOW I CAN KILL HIM!" Helmeppo pressed his gun on Coby's head harder but didn't pull the trigger as if his index finger froze.
"Helmeppo...what exactly you're going to accomplish it after killing Coby, do you think your Father will be proud of you, is that it…you may have many bad qualities, Helmeppo but a murderer is not one of them, if you kill Coby, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," says Lara, Helmeppo is shaking in tremor and his eyes swelled up with tears, he sniffed and trying to come up with comeback words but all he got is nothing, her talk echo through his head over and over, did he really want to kill the boy, does its going to prove that he's man enough for his Father to be proud of him, all his questions are unanswered,, because…because the thought of murdering the boy won't make him a man, it makes him…then he sees Lara holding out her hand to him in somewhat kind gesture.
"Just this once do what is right, Helmeppo, be a better man than your father, it's going to be okay, Helmeppo, it'll be over soon just hand over the gun to me very slowly and all the nightmare is going to end," said Lara with smile, Helmeppo stare at her hand in still frighten expression as for everyone are waiting in silence is to what could happen next, Helmeppo stare at her hand then at Coby and then at his Father…then to everyone's surprise Helmeppo is slowly giving his gun to Lara, for what seem like half a minute Helmeppo's gun is in Lara's hand, she smiled in accomplishment and says.
"Now this is going to hurt a little," Helmeppo didn't get a chance to respond when she lightly jab between Helmeppo's shoulder and neck causing him to let Coby go and fell. Coby let out sigh of relief and said to Lara.
"Thanks Lara you saved my life again."
"That was nothing; you're pretty brave Coby willing to risk your life for your crew, you're going to be one heck of Marine," she praised Coby's bravery which made Coby blush and scratching his head in embarrassment, the Marines cheered once more that the Morgan's reign of terror has finally ended; they dance and hail in cheerfulness, Lara and Coby smiled and laughed joining their celebration and Zoro actually smiled but not at winning, he's, in fact, smiling at Lara, she is one out of an ordinary girl, then he grunt and fell. Both Coby and Lara gasped.
"Zoro… Zoro, are you okay, what's wrong!?" Coby asked in panic, and then Zoro open his eyes slowly.
"…I'm so hungry," his tone is hoarse with hunger and completely worn-out, Lara blinked before throwing her head back laughing.
Meanwhile, outside the Ex-Captain Morgan's office, two Marines were tied up and their mouths covered with cloth muffling courses, within the office is the intruder and the intruder is none other than the mysteries and familiar orange hair girl rummaging every nook and cranny to find whatever she's looking for.
She cursed; she still hasn't found it, and she looked around the room to see if she can find anything particular or out of plain sight, then she spotted a safe behind those barrels.
"Jackpot," she exclaimed, she pushed the barrel away and before she can solve the code she is surprised that the safe is already opened, she peek inside the safe and found what she's been looking for, a piece of out of form rolling map.
"That it, the chart of the Grand Line I knew they were hiding in here," as she said, she unroll the chart and have a look see but what she see is not the chart of the Grand Line but a funny looking Jolly Roger with big red nose. She gasped as she recognized the Jolly Roger.
"So it's Buggy…also known on the seas as Buggy the immortal," she clenched the paper knowing for sure that the map of the Grand Line is in the hands of Captain Buggy, going there and steal the chart from them will be suicide but nevertheless she is willing take that risk…she must.
Outside Rika's restaurant, people are gathering everywhere to watch two heroes stuffing themselves silly in a countless amount of food.
"Oh, ah boy ,am I stuffed haven't eaten in three weeks I was ready to eat my own clothes," he rubs his bulging belly as Rika, Coby, and Rika's mom laugh, Zoro has already finished five plates of delicious food while Lara is still wanting more which surprised Zoro.
"Hey, how the hell can you have a bigger appetite than a guy who haven't eaten in three weeks, aren't girls supposed to eat light and have a good figure?"
"They're just taste good; I guess right, Coby," said Lara.
"Yeah, it's great thank you for the meal," he expresses his gratitude to Rika's mom.
"My pleasure after all you three saved this town we owe you all in great debt," she expresses her thanks to the heroes of Shells Town.
"You're the coolest girl I ever met, when I grow up I wanna be just like you," said Rika admiring and respecting her new found idol.
"Thanks and I'll be even cooler when I become Queen of the Pirates and finds the One Piece and of course the best crew on the seas," said Lara.
"So how much crew you have besides me?" Zoro asked. She took a bite on a piece of steak and answered.
"Just you."
"Wait you mean it just you and…me?" he pointed at her then himself in dumbfounded expression.
"Yep, it just us."
"You know that doesn't count the whole crew."
"So what we're strong enough to take down on anything."
"Fine but do you at least have a decent ship?" asked Zoro again and she pointed out the window where the ship is posted, when Zoro saw that ship which probably the most ridicules looking Pirate ship he ever seen.
"…you're kidding, right?" he sweat dropped.
"Nope but we'll have a huge ship soon just you wait and see," she threw her arm up in the air like happy child getting a new toy. Zoro laughed at her antic and said.
"And how are you going to do that?"
"With a great big Pirate flag on top," she answered.
…
…
…THUD, Zoro, fell (anime style).
"How did I end up it's beyond me?"
"Don't be like that, Zoro we'll have a ton of fun and get a better crew soon," she said trying to brighten up Zoro then she heard Rika questioned.
"Lara, where were you and your crew will be traveling when you leave here?"
"Isn't it obvious, we're heading straight to the Grand Line," before Rika can utter a word, Coby spit his juice and says.
"WHAT, are you completely lost it you CAN'T go to the Grand Line with just you and Zoro; this place is hell on seas."
"I heard about this place, but I never thought it just an awful place," said Rika.
"It's worse than you think, as you all know this world has two oceans; well there is an enormous land mass that cut both of them, this called the Red Line, legend tells that there is a town placed dead center on the Red Line; the Grand Line cut through it in the right angle to all the way around the rest of the world, the story goes on as Captain Gol D. Roger made it to the Grand Line and obtain the World's greatest treasure, the One Piece and made out alive, then shortly after he dies, his final word said that he hidden his treasure in the Grand Line, ever since then Pirates has traveled to the Grand Line in search for the One Piece, today this place has turned into a war zone killing one other thus the place has called it the Pirate's Graveyard," he said with a grim look on his face.
"Well that too bad because that where we are going, right Zoro," said Lara completely ignoring the threat that will end in the demise. Then Zoro lay back on his seat and said.
"I guess we have to live with it."
"NO, you can't!" Coby shouted.
"What do you care it's not like you're coming with us," Zoro exclaimed.
"No, but I still worry about you and Lara…even though Lara and I only known each other for a couple of days but I still consider her as a friend, right Lara," said Coby.
"Of course we're always being friends even if we part ways will always be friends," she said with a smile, Coby was silent for a moment then a smile is spread.
"When I just a little kid I didn't have any friends much less anyone fighting on my behalf, so I always try my best to never to fight for anything," Coby tells about his past life and how he endured alone, and then his eyes filled with hope and determination.
"But the two of you has taught me a lesson that couldn't learn on my own, how to live on what I believe in so I can make my one childhood dream a reality and I'm going to join the Marines," Rika and Lara grin at Coby's resolve and proud of him especially Lara, whom she's even prouder, she remembered how she first met Coby, who is nothing but stupid and useless...and kinda wimpy too, but now Coby has grown into the opposite of what he was before, brave and confident boy that one day will be a Marine. Before she can respond to him, Zoro cuts her off.
"That all well and good but…I think you should be more worried about your current situation," Coby didn't get what Zoro meant, and then Zoro proceeds by saying.
"I mean you did say you spent two years serving under Captain Alvida's Pirate ship even if you were a Cabin boy, the Marine's information gatherings are top notch, and once they find out you were one of Captain Alvida's crew they'll never let you join in,"
"I…I never thought of that," Coby totally forgot about that and Zoro's right, after spending years with Alvida as her Cabin boy serving her…this cannot end this after everything happens, he refuses to give up. Suddenly a group of Marines entered Rika's restaurant startling everyone in it, one Marine step forward probably the next commanding officer after Morgan's defeat.
"Are you by any chance you're Pirates," he asked.
"You got it; Zoro is the first member of my crew, so this whole thing becomes official," Lara replied.
"We appreciated of what you all did to save us from the vicious tyrant Morgan that terrorize our town, however, now that we know you're both Pirates as Marines we cannot sit idly by and watch do your business…therefore, you and your crew need to leave this town immediately and out of respect of what you've done we will not report you to HQ," with that said people of the town are shouting in disapproval that the Marines are being unfair to them, if it weren't for them they were still going to live in fear under Morgan with the rest of their lives, before they can protest some more Lara lift the sack filled with food on her shoulder and grinned.
"Very well, time to go, Zoro, thanks for the food and everything," she bowed.
"Wait, you can't leave now," Rika is saddened to see them go. Lara nodded and said goodbye then walk away along with Zoro. And as for Coby he's unable to move and unable to breath, the Commander of the Marine notice Coby.
"Wait isn't he with you?" both Zoro and Lara halted and looked back at stuttering Coby, and then Lara grinned and said.
"What I can tell is what is he been doing up to this point," Coby gaped at Lara.
'LARA NOO!'
"Yeah he was serving under this big fat lady I think her name is Alvodo or something"
'No, if they find out that I worked under Alvida I'll never join the Marines!'
"She use to carry out this huge mace and let me tell you she was the nastiest woman I ever met, for two years this wimpy kid was her privet cabin boy," then all of a sudden Coby charge at Lara and ready to punch to stop her from talking anymore but before he does, so the water repelled his punch and pushing him away with a strong blow leaving Coby on the ground wet and panting. The Commander got mad to see the She-Pirate attacked the poor boy.
"That enough it's obviously that this boy is not one of your crew so stop this fight and leave this town this instant," before Lara left, Coby saw her playful smirk spread on her face and realize what she has done.
'She did it on purpose…Lara did that just to help me out…she made me so mad that I try to hit her so her water power would hit me to make me look I'm not part of her crew…at the very end, I always rely on her continually while I couldn't do anything for myself nothing changed at all…I'm such an idiot,' with that he got up from the ground and stood face to face to his commanding officer.
"Sir, please let me join the Marines, I'll cook, clean, scrub, I'll do anything you ask, I'll do anything to become a Marine," he said without any slight of hesitation, he won't back down no matter what. The Commander stares at the boy in mild admiration, and then his second in command step forward and whisper in his ear.
"Sir, I'm not sure if we willing to trust this kid, I think it's best if we make a quick background check first," he suggest and then Coby shouts with all his might.
"No matter what you find I'm the man who will become a Marine," such fire in his eyes that shows that he were serious and settled to become what he always wanted to be a Marine to save everyone and bring justice to all. They stare at the boy in astonishment then the Commander walked pass Coby and said.
"I can't tell you how many of our comrades have killed by Pirates over the years…but permission to join granted," Coby smiled big at him and saluted to his new Commander.
Meanwhile, Zoro and Lara are walking toward their temporary ship to set sail on a new adventure that awaits them.
"That was some acting you pulled back there I won't be surprised if they see right through it," said Zoro.
"Haha, Coby should able to handle the rest on his own I have faith in him" she said with a grin.
"'Sigh' well it is a fitting way to leave this place unable to turn back as everyone hates us now, very Pirate like"
"HAHAHA, yeah, it sure is," as she laughed she untie the rope and just she's about to jump on her ship she heard Coby's shout, they both turn to see Coby, Rika, and Rika's mom from a distance.
"Thank you so much you have done so much for me than anyone has ever had," then he salute to Lara.
"I never heard of a Marine thanking a Pirate before this is one of the history book," said Zoro jokingly and Lara giggle before she walks up to Coby, and give him a peck on his forehead which made Coby stumble back in embarrassment as his hand zoom to where she had kissed him, she giggled and said.
"This is for good luck and wishes for you to succeed," the Coby smile in really goofy way and Zoro…he doesn't why but he didn't like the way Lara kissed him like that even if just an innocent kiss.
They release the main sail and sails away as she waves at Coby and her new friend goodbye.
"So long, Coby I hope we meet again someday," Lara called.
"Lara…thanks you," he can feel tears swelling up in his eyes.
"Bye Lara, Bye Zoro," Rika waved at them.
"ALL HANDS SAAAAAALLLLLLUUUUAAAAATTTTEEE!" then the entire Marine armies saluted the retreating Pirate wishing them good luck, as well.
"BYYYYYYYYEEEE" Lara called one more time as she sails further away, Coby smiled then he heard his Commander spoke.
"That a good friend you got there," he can feel like crying in joy but he cast them away and smile proudly instead.
"Yeah."
"Men, seeing out a current salute to the Pirates are in violation of Marine law; we all go without food in three days. Do I make myself clear?"
"SIR, YES SIR!"
'I know will meet again someday, deep inside I can feel as much as I felt anything even as we divided as Pirates and Marines I still look forward to that day.'
The sunset shines brightly with many colors of yellow, orange, and purple making Lara smile ever more as she and her first mate sail on the open seas.
"At last our Pirate crew has finally set sail," she said.
"I got a feeling that some interesting adventure are waiting for us," said Zoro and she giggled at his comment.
"I'll be Queen of the Pirates I know it," she declared.
"You seem obsessed with this Queen of the Pirates business, is there some kinda story behind it or any reason at all is why you wanted so badly?" he asked.
"…Nothing…except…."
"Except…what?"
"Except I promised someone I would gather the greatest crew, find the greatest treasure, and become Queen of the Pirates…and this Straw hat knows a whole story," she smiled fondly as she remembers her memory that made her inspired to go on the open seas, Zoro half smile, pleased with her answer and maybe having her as his Captain won't be so bad after all.
"I see."
"Now let's go, let us set out heading to the Grand Line," with that said both Lara and Zoro sails away to the voyage of the unknown thus opening a new chapter of their grand adventure with sun shines radiantly at them.
TO BE CONTINUED…
