Hey sorry for the long wait it actually took me forever to write this chapter, it was so amazingly hard because I had to rewrite it like three times and I still don't know if I got exactly where I wanted it. But I figured you guys waited long enough. I was actually kind of sad that I only got one review, that was sort of depressing. But I don't hold it against you, because sometimes I myself am too lazy to press that review button too.
Just for a little info on Zoro, I made it to where that all the Straw Hats all went there separate ways after Luffy was executed, (which personally I'm not even sure if I want him to be dead maybe he escaped the excution and the Marines were covering it up, or maybe someone is just going around and pretending to be him…) Anyway Zoro is on his own little ship called The Morning Star, that was built by Franky, but he calls his pirates Straw Hats just like White Beards men did after he died.
Disclaimor: I do not own One Piece…
Chapter 3 Recap:
A vein bulged in my temple, I really hated this. Poor inocent Lana's momma was taken away. Let's protect her from all the evil in this world. "You're not my father." I spat at him, "You're not the boss of me! I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions!" I stomped away thoroughly pissed off at him and anyone else that got in my way.
I slammed the door of the room that Zoro had allowed me to have while I was passed out. Angry tears streamed down my face, I sat on the bed, because I didn't have anything else better to do.
Chapter 4:
After a couple hours of being pissed off and sitting on my bed moping about the pure unjutice of it all, I got over, don't get me wrong I was still completley pissed at Zoro calling me weak! I mean sure I wasn't the strongest person in the world, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm weak though.
I heard a quick rap on my door that snapped me out of my reverie. "Yes?" I called suspiciously.
Chance poked his head into my room, finding me on the bed, "I've got lunch." He offered.
"What is it?" I asked hoping that it wouldn't be anything like breakfast was, but then again beggers can't be chosers I guess.
"Uh" he said looking at for a moment, "Maybe you shouldn't eat this" he said frowning poking at the fish. "My dad isn't exactly the best cook, but he has to much man pride to ask Uncle Sanji come with us," He said sitting on the bed next to me. That's the under statement of the year I thought poking at the fish with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't like you" I said truthfully after a moments silence,"I think I could but at this moment I don't like you." I could see him out of the corner of my eye about to say something, "But," I said before he had a chance to add something which if I was correct he was going to say that he felt the same way, "Your strong," I stared at my trmbling hands not wanting to look at him. "And like your father" I made a face, seriously I didn't like the drunk swordsman, if I hadn't already clarified that fact, "pointed out, I'm clearly not." Yeah I was feeling I tiny bit sorry for myself.
"Because I'm so weak how about I just go hide under a rock." Okay, maybe more then I tiny bit.
Chance stood shaking his head, "I should go my dad will probably be wonderin where I went, I'm supposed to be practicing." I nodded still poking at the fish sulkily. Chance walked towards the door pausing before going out and looking at me, "And I don't think your weak, Lana." He added before leaving. I blinked a couple times to stunned to say anything, his words made me feel some what better than I had just a moment ago.
-X-
I grudgingly joined Zoro and his crew for dinner after Chance had told me that there would be no fish tonight.
I sat beside a larger man and across from Chance, eating potatoe soup. Chance informed that before I came up that Mercy the only woman on board besides myself had kicked Zoro out of the kitchen when he tried to make fish again, and told him not to come back before dinner time. I watched as Mercy poured another bowl of soup for Zoro and let off a peel of tinkling laughter at something that he said. I didn't get why everyone thought he was so funny, I personally thought he was an anoying hypocrite.
"What island are guys planning to dock at next." I asked after finishing eating my third bowl and asking Mercy for fourths.
"Trafalagar." The big man beside me grunted.
"And like I said before Lana, you are getting off this boat.
"Can't we compromise" I folded my arms and leaned back in my chair.
Zoro looked as if he was thinking about it then smiled craftly, "Okay but you have bring someone, of my choice, with you." He said leaning back in his own chair, Mercy handed me back my bowl.
"Deal." I said relaxing seriously I had been ready to fight.
"I also want you to know that you aren't the only one who is trying to save your mother, Lana. Nami is my nakama. All the rest of the straw hats are coming togethere again just to save her, you won't be alone, so I want you to rethink about leaving my crew." He said as I was finishing up my sixth bowl, I let the spoon clatter and rubbed my stomach satisfied.
"I don't need to think" I said looking at him in the eye, "If I don't try to rescue her myself I will never be able to get strong." I smirked, "Besides I want to be Queen of the pirates."
Zoro laughed, I frowned at him, as he continued to do this for ten minutes my eyes narrowed. Finally when he was finished he said "Daughter like father
The other pirates joined in with him laughing, Mercy smiled shaking her head. "Don't make fun, I'm completely serious." I said indignatley.
"They know that's what they find so funny." Chance informed me. I narrowed my eyes at them fighting a smile.
"Well as fun as this has been." Mercy said yawning, "I think I'll turn in." she looked at Johny expecctantly.
"Yeah me too, night guys." The big man beside me said standing up and following Mercy. When they closed the door behind them one of the men at the table snorted and shook their head, I think his name was Leo.
"Anyway," Zoro said clearing his throat, "We'll be docked at Trafalagar in the morning, I'll tell you who I've chose to go with you then."
I nodded and stood, "I think I'll go hit the sack too" I said sleeply, my stomach was so full that I myself couldn't believe I could still move I wadled over to the door that Mercy and Johny both went through.
The cool night air hit my face; the moon illuminated the deck in a silver light as I walked over to the door that led down to my temporary room. I collasped onto my bed falling asleep before even hitting the pillow.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review, I'm still excepting characters if you guys want to put some in!
Until next time
