The Armor of Heavenly Knights

Nojiko really confused and shocked when she saw the naked man came inside her house, followed by her foster sister. "Uuummm…isn't he…?"Pointing at the green-haired man "Morning…" said Zoro impolitely. The redhead surprisingly looks so calm, unlike her reaction when she knows this man was looking for his stolen armor."Hey! Look what I got sis, a free employee!" Zoro growled " GRRRRR…I only have to serve you ONE year, woman!" "Alright, alright…here, wear this!" Nami toss her old loose shirt to Zoro, which, of course, still unfit compared to his big muscular body. "We don't want other people thought that we hire a male prostitute here, what about this?" she then toss her long pants but it can't help. Because of its small size, Zoro accidently ripped the pant. "Ooops! Now that's price is one month work!" "YOU!" Zoro screams hysterically.

After several minutes searching for his lower attire, Zoro finally wear Nami's tablecloth that made into a skirt which make him looks like bagpiper. The redhead commands him to do heavy jobs, but for the man who was actually a knight, heavenly knight, that's just a piece of cake. Nami astonished by the power of her new worker. "Whoa! He take care all the fields just for two hour?" Nojiko came from behind her younger sister, bringing some orange juices. "Yeah, seems like he's not an ordinary man…" "Oh, great, let's ask him to fix our roof next!" the blue-haired smiles in delight. "By the way, have you hid all the money?" Nami ask Nojiko in worry. "I placed the last bucks in your bedroom since our bunker is full" "fine, don't let him or anyone in village knows about it, promise?" Nojiko sighed for her sister's behavior "'kay, I promise"

There was only some watery soup and hard rice on table for dinner, but Roronoa Zoro ate them with big appetite. The girls watch him in amaze. "Seems like you never been eat for a centuries!" said the redhead. "I was! This is the second time I eat, its felt so good!" he said while munching the carrots. Nami and Nojiko stare at each other, confused. "You mean you never eat anything? But you're still alive! No human could live without food…" the tan girl complained. Zoro swallowed the rice hardly. "That's because I'm not human, I am General Roronoa Zoro, chieftain of Jade army of Heaven Empire! I'm immortal"

The girls was stunned, they look at Zoro in disbelief

"GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…JIAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Zoro was surprised by their reaction "What's so funny?"

"…army of heaven empire…" Nojiko said "…immortal!" Nami continues and then they go back to laugh out loud.

Zoro cheeks blushed. He burns in embarrassment. He suddenly slams the dining table "ITS TRUE!"

"Oh yeah? Then I am the queen of the sea!" said the redhead "nobody will believe that kind of joke, boy!" Nojiko tries to calm down her snort. Zoro's face turns dead serious "I'll show you, I swear! That armor should be tracked easily!" the muscular man leaves the room. "Like how? All the armor looks same…" Nami mocked. She's trying to kill the knight's will to search it. Zoro turns to face Nami, walks into hear and speak right in front of her face. "Jade Armor is a holy item…nothing in your ugly world could be compared by the beauty and its power. It is given by the heaven emperor himself, it is made by materials that impossible to be found in this world. Trust me! It could give you millions of gold if you exchange it to human money!"

Nami silent after the green-haired gone and slamming the door. Same does Nojiko. She feels shivers down her spine. "You know what?" she said to Nami. "I'm afraid if only all what he said was actually right" Listen to this the redhead bites her nails to express her worries "Damn…what should we do then?"

Zoro wake up from his peaceful sleep, finding himself inside the mikan storage. It is too early to rise, but the green-haired knight seems unusual with his new 'bedroom'. Or that's what it's looked like, since Zoro knows that he had been watched by someone. "Who's there?" he said fiercely. "Relax, it's just me" the redhead greet her worker. "Oh" Zoro then get himself ready in swift. "Morning, so what are things to do today?". Nami grabbed his tan arm, asking him to sit next to her. "We'll do it later…." She sighed "I want to apologize for what happened last night…"

Zoro sit and tried to find a relaxing position, listening to her explanations."Okay?" "…i…I didn't know that your armor is very precious to you, so…." The redhead stares at Zoro's eyes reading his reactions. "It is my identity, my protector, and without it I could barely go back home, you must know what it feels like…" Nami head's down, not able to look at Zoro anymore. Somehow, she feels regret to steal the armor and swords, but in another part, she's afraid that if she tells the truth could harmed her life. The heaven knight exhaled "Well, what's done is done, let's go! Your poor oranges are waiting!" "Hey wait! It's the wrong direction!" Nami said approaching Zoro.

The sun hangs right above human's head when Nami is busy tending her mikan trees. Meanwhile Zoro is digging the soil around the trees. Suddenly big carts come near their orchard. There were several men guarding each of them. Nami knows the group leader were a bandits member, yes, the bandits that ever try to abuse her. "Oh great, what the hell are they doing here?"
