"Hmph." The man smirked.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" Zoro thought uncomfortably.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" Zoro asked, not noticing that his voice is higher, quieter, more harder to pronounce each word.
"Haha... Hahahaha!" The man laughed, and Zoro tilted his head at him.
"Vegapunk is such a weirdo! Inventing something like this... Useless, ha! And they say he's the smartest human being alive that would take humanity 500 years to reach up to his intelligence! This is utterly stupid." The man exclaimed.
That was when Zoro looked at himself, finally wondering why is the man, and everything else, all so much taller then him? Is it because he's on the ground?
The rest of the crew looked at Zoro in utter horror, amusement, and curiosity. From their view, well actually every other living being's view, Zoro is in the shape of a small child, perhaps not even 1.
At least he's not naked. Zoro's over-sized shirt, though all torn and blood soaked, still stuck limply onto Zoro's body, protecting whatever's necessary.
"Sigh... Well, we'll take care of you later." The man turned to Nami, as Nami backed away, with slightly bleeding wrists, even when Sanji has ripped his shirt to bandage Nami.
"Huh? What are you saying Oji-san?" Zoro asked, all too innocently.
"Huh?" The man turned around to look at Zoro menacingly, but it seems Zoro is extremely oblivious, as his slightly large child eyes continued to stare at the man in front of him.
The man chuckled, then erupted into an unstoppable laughter. He wheezed and coughed, finally stopped and looked over to Zoro like a predator eyeing it's prey.
"It means I'm going to kill your friend here, Zoro-chan." The man hissed out, letting the information sink in to what it seems to be the newly found child brain of Roronoa Zoro.
Zoro just continued staring at him, as he finally knew what it meant.
"Oh." He said. Just like that.
"But I'm not going to let you do that." He said, and walked over to the cage, passing the man with the knife.
"Hey, Nami," Zoro said.
"Zoro? Y-yeah?" Nami said, shaken up still, her wrists still burning, but also quite uncomfortable with Zoro, in the state that he is in.
"Hey what are you doing you brat!?" The man behind him said, ready to charge at the seemingly like child.
"Close your eyes." Zoro smiled a little, too innocently and childlike.
"Why-" Then in a flash, Zoro jumped back and lunged at the man like an untamed animal, bit down the man's neck, and tore it open.
Blood splattered everywhere, almost equal to the amount of blood already on the floor, as Nami screamed, Chopper cried out, and everyone gasped in horror as Zoro took the man's knife, and stabbed it in his heart. The man stopped moving.
After when Zoro made sure the man is dead, he searched the man's body for the keys.
"Found it." Zoro murmured, and turned around to face the crew. He walked over to their cell, and tossed the key inside, while watching them as he gripped the cell bars with his teeny tiny hands.
It was Usopp who broke the silence, surprisingly.
"Z-zoro," Usopp stammered, quite shaken up like the rest of the crew, since it was not everyday when you see a child tearing a man three, no more than three times his size, throat open, while standing there blood soaked like it was nothing at all.
"Yeah?" Zoro said, leaning forward to listen.
"Um," Usopp said. He doesn't really know what to say at a situation like this.
"Use the keys. Your locks." Zoro said after a moment, eyeing the keys he just tossed in, but nobody touched.
"Oh, oh right! The keys!" Luffy exclaimed all Luffy-like, easing the tension just a bit... Maybe.
Suddenly Zoro remembered something.
"Ah. Katanas." Zoro said, as he walked away.
"Kenshi-san?" Robin said, worried.
"Katanas. Katanas. Katanas." Zoro chanted on, desperately.
"Zoro! Hey Zoro!"
"Marimo!" They called out, but to no valid, as Zoro kept on walking towards the door.
He stopped his tracks at the door, and looked back at them, more specifically, Luffy.
"Luffy," Zoro called out.
"Yeah?" Luffy replied, concerned.
"I'm sorry."
