Heart Attack Chapter 3

Luna like spending time with Zoro. He was different than all the guys she'd meet up till now. She had never felt so safe, let alone happy. Most of her life was spent traveling one place to another trying to out run the marines. It's all because I killed that one admiral she thought sadly. Leaning her head on her stuffed animal she let a single tear slide down her cheek. Just thinking about it brought up such awful memories.

~Flashback~

A black haired girl at the age of 10 was wondering around town when a drunk older man stepped out in front of her. "Well, what do we have here. Such a pretty little thing you are." the man says before backing her into a corner. "Why don't you come with me and we'll have some fun." he said while making a grab for her arm.

The young girl opened her mouth and let out a loud ear piercing scream before a large meaty hand covered her mouth. "Don't do that girly. We don't to get hurt do we?" His gruff voice caused rancid breath to wafted over her face, causing her eyes to water from both it and fear. She shook her head no and his hand left her face before it landed on her arm.

He then began to drag her away from the crowded area of town and into the slums and back allies. "Now girly, lets have some fun." With that final warning he leaned forward and began to unbutton her blouse. She struggled to get away from him and withdrew her trusty dagger and stabbed him in the heart. The mans eyes widened before he fell to the ground in front of her.

Taking the chance she escaped and raced home to find her parents frantically searching for her. When they saw her rumpled and blood covered body they began asking question after question. The young girl then told them everything while they comforted her and demanded to know what he looked like. "He was tall and meaty looking with brown hair and eyes." she whispered with a hoarse voice from all the crying.

Her parents paled at this and told her to go pack her stuff. When she asked why, they simply told her that the man she killed had been an admiral and that the marines would soon be looking for her. So, she packed enough stuff to last her 2-3 years on the road. Walking down the stairs she gave both her parents a smile and hugged them. Her father, a master swords smith then gave her one of his first cursed blades. "It's name is Bloody Rose." he said handing it to her.

She looked at it and then at him before thanking them and running out into the moonlit night. That was the last time she would ever see them. The next few years were spent running and hiding as well as doing all sorts of odd jobs. She was no longer innocent. Instead she was more like a women than a child. Throughout those years she had trained with her constant companion and honed her sword skills. She learned fast that the blade unlike most blades had a mind of it's own and that it trusted only one person. That was Luna herself. For they were both cursed in different ways.

Life was hard with all the hiding and running. She had learned that there was a bounty placed on her head. The the bounty was 400,500,060 beli. People came after her for that reason and many others as well. Finally the marines finally caught up to her and placed her in prison. She was then saved by some Pirates one being Luffy.

Thus she found herself where she currently is apart of that same crew as well as participating in a Davy back fight.

~End of Flashback~

Luna snapped out of her memories at hand being waved in her face accompanied by a familiar voice. "Hey, it's time for round three. Are you ok? Hey, answer me damn it!" Zoro's worried voice made her look up despite the tears running out of her puffy eyes and down red tinted cheeks.

"Whoa. Why are you crying?" Luffy asked while everyone stared at her shocked and worried.

Well, almost everyone. Zoro was worried but he seemed like he was ready to smash something let alone destroy anything. Is it because I'm crying? she asked herself whipping the tears away. "I'm fine. Just some unhappy memories is all." This caused everyone to look at her concerned and ready to ask questions while Zoro and Sanji both punched a wall in frustration and anger.

"What sort of memories?" Ussop, Nami and Luffy asked. Luna looked away before saying

"I'd rather not talk about it right now." Her hand automatically went for her sword. "Don't worry Luna. I won't let anyone hurt you or let anything like that happen again." Bloody Rose spoke in her head. Luna smiled slightly at that."I know you won't. Thank you friend." she replied back. She felt the sword vibrate in what she had found out was either laughter or happiness.

"Everyone! It's time for the Roller Race to begin!" the speaker announced. She began walking to the arena till a hand on her shoulder stopped her. "I need to talk to you." she heard Zoro say. She nodded her head and followed him to a secluded area and tensed as the memory flooded her once more.

"I want to know why you're crying and what the story behind it is." he demanded with a emotionless face but gentle eyes. She sighed before telling him everything.

*O*

Zoro was both shocked and furious at what Luna told him. He felt like he wanted to punch a wall since the molester already being dead in all. He was shocked to learn that her sword literally was alive. Well, not as much as he should have since already figured out it was cursed. He held her as the tears fell from her eyes once more and shivers of fear racked her body.

He blushed as she leaned into him. Which meant her face was on his shoulder, her chest on his, and her arms around him. "And that's what happened." Luna said as she breathed out tickling his neck.

"Let go of my owner you damn moss head!" he heard a voice yell at him and looked down to see the sword pointed at him.

"The s-sword just talked." he got out. Luna let go of him and backed away looking slightly flustered.

"Y-yeah, I told you she was alive. Bloody Rose be nice." she said to her sword.

"How can I be nice when he's got his hands all over you?" the sword growled.

Zoro was becoming seriously ticked off the more the sword talked. "I'm sorry, she doesn't really trust anyone but me." Luna said looking away from him. "It's ok." he said when in truth it wasn't ok. "There you guys are!" Nami and Sanji yelled walking over to them. "Come one the the third round is about to start!" they said before Nami grabbed his hand and Sanji Luna's.
