Author's Note: Here's the next chapter. Glad you guys remembered Zoro's silliness, when we first saw him again after the time skip. xD Also, I have a bit of an announcement. I will be writing a brand new One Piece fic, LuNa, of course. It's still in the works, and I don't even have a title yet, so don't expect it any time soon. xD I'm still a bit apprehensive, since I now have fears I might abandon it, like I've done already, even if I did come back to finish them off. Even so, that sucked, right? xD Anyways, as I warning, I plan to go all out on this fic, and it will be another AU. I know a lot of people don't care for Aus, and you might especially not care for this one, because I'm going to have fun with the characters, which means, they're going to be pretty out of character. xD I'm going to add my own spin to them. This is the reason I love writing AUs. You don't have to stick to the rules, keeping only the minimum basics, and you can just have fun with your favorite characters. ;) All right, I won't keep you any longer! xD Enjoy. ;)
What The World Needs
Chapter 7
"Zoro!" Nami and Usopp cried at the same time, both looking extremely relieved. Zoro was the second strongest in their crew, and so both knew they were safe.
Zoro stood on the far opposing side of Usopp, also atop a much lower building as he gazed across it towards Usopp. Bringing his sword up, he dropped it across the back of his shoulders and said, "Well, at least I'm number two. More than I can say for the curly cook."
"Who're you calling a curly cook, asshole with sticks!"
"Hoo? You came too then, curls for brows?" Zoro asked, looking over to the single man, standing just at the curve of the crescent moon harbor to Marineford. "By the way, you're number three."
A cigarette was already in his mouth, and so Sanji lifted his arms to light it. He took a puff of it and blew out the smoke before he said, "Shut it, moss for brains!"
"Black Leg Sanji and Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro," Sakazuki said and chuckled with a massive smirk. "So kind of you to join us here. Come to die along with this woman, have you?"
"Fuck you, Sakazuki!" Sanji said, pointing his cigarette at the man. "We're here to save, Nami-san! We're not dying here today!"
Tears came to Nami's eyes, because they had really come for her; her crew; her friends; her family. "Zoro, Sanji," she called softly and shut her eyes tight.
"Where is he? Where is your captain?" Sakazuki asked with a glare.
"Our king, you mean! Show some respect, you hot headed prick!" Sanji said and glared in return with his one eye.
"And we suggest you not make that mistake again," Zoro said, pulling out his second sword, "and who knows, but he'll be here soon. Don't worry. He's got a bone to pick with you." Zoro slowly lifted his sword, pointing it towards Sakazuki and staring at him intently down the length of the sharp blade.
Sakazuki began to laugh, and then he said, "As do I, with him. I will finish off what I started that day. His life should have ended there."
"But it didn't end there! And we're going to see to it, that it doesn't end here!"
"Chopper!" Usopp cried and laughed as a large beast suddenly rose above the buildings and roared loudly.
"How do they keep getting onto the island!?"
"That part was easy," Zoro said, tapping the back of his sword to his shoulder. "You fuckers are weak as shit."
"How dare you!? Get them!"
"After them, men! Don't let them get away!"
"Oh, it's on bitches. My blade is itching to cut," Zoro said with a smirk and leapt off the building to the ground below.
Sanji twirled in place on his one leg, setting it on fire, and then he said, "I'm going to cook you all alive and sauté you in your own blood for daring to touch Nami-san!"
Chopper gave another roar, bringing his arm down and destroying half the building and causing the rubble to fall over the marines.
Nami could not stop the tears as she watched her friends, fighting to save her life. "Everyone..." she whispered through her tears, and then she took a deep breath and cried, "Be careful, everyone!"
"Don't die for me!"
