"I can't believe ya got us lost…" Chas grumbled, limping along through the forest with Zoro's help.

"I didn't get us lost," Zoro snapped, helping Chas along as he cleared a path through all the branches and bushes, "the others got separated from us."

"Yeah, whatever ya say, Mochi." Chas sighed and continued limping, arm draped over Zoro's shoulders for support and his arm around her for extra help.

At the moment the two were wondering through the Cotton Candy Forest found on the other side of the island (much to Chopper's joy) after having gotten separated from the others. It seems Atif had led them there because this was the 'pink place' he remembered. Soon after the group continued through the forest of cotton candy which led to Zoro and Chas getting split off from the group.

"Are you sure you can't walk?" Zoro asked, breaking another branch to continue forward.

Chas's eyebrow twitched, but she didn't answer him because the answer was obvious already.

"What about you?" Chas finally said, glancing to him. "Are ya sure ya should be usin' that arm of yer's?" Chas nodded towards his exposed upper body.

Zoro glanced to his bandaged arm and then looked away, continuing to use his sword to cut through the branches and such for a path. "Yeah, it's fine." After that said, he fell silent again, having no further argument to give.

"Well…this relationship is interesting…"

Chas's eyebrow knitted together. What the hell do ya want? she thought, talking to the armor that had now been speaking whenever he wanted to, which annoyed, and slightly worried, Chas. She had the sudden feeling she had no privacy.

"I get bored not having anything to do," the armor pouted. "Being stuck to your sweaty arm isn't all that it's cracked up to be you know."

"Shut it…" Chas mumbled.

"Excuse me?" Zoro snarled, stopping in his tracks and looked to Chas.

Chas looked to Zoro and smiled. "Ah, sorry…talkin' to myself." Chas then laughed.

Zoro shrugged it off and continued dragging her along with him.

"What is your relationship with this swordsman?" the armor soon questioned.

Why are ya askin'? Chas replied.

"I'm curious," the armor answered. "It's obvious he's important to you. And it's quite obvious he feels something for you." The armor chuckled. "After all, a few of your friends have been trying ever so desperately to push you two together." The armor soon grumbled. "Except that chef…"

He's not important, Chas snarled. He's… Chas was at a loss for words. What was he, exactly? A friend? No, not even close. A comrade? Most likely, but that still didn't fit her feelings somehow. Lover? Hell no. A brother? Luffy was more brotherly then Zoro would ever be.

"Maybe you are as clueless as you appear..." the armor said.

HEY! Chas snapped, breaking her pondering. I'm not clueless!

"Oh, and one more thing, you might want to duck." The armor soon left.

"Duck?" Chas questioned out loud before her head was suddenly pushed down by Zoro's large hand. After that, she heard a small clang from an arrow hitting a sword before getting pulled back up and getting pushed to the side, where she fell to sit on a rock. "What the hell, Mochi?!" Chas shut her mouth immediately afterwards when she saw a man with a bow and arrows pointed right at Zoro and herself.

"Are you the guy that shot us?" Zoro asked, pointing his sword to the arrow man.

"That's correct," the man said. The man looked to Zoro, then to Chas, then back to Zoro. "You are Pirate Hunter Zoro and Shotgun Pirate Captain Chasaji, friends of the robot, correct?"

"Who's askin'?" Chas questioned, standing on her good leg with confidence.

"I'm Banja the Hunter," the man answered, before drawing back his bow. "And I've come to kill you."


"Chas-san!" Sanji cried as loud as he could, but, just like the other fifty times, there was no answer.

"I wonder where everyone else went off to…" Chopper pondered, taking another bite of the cotton candy bush.

"Either way, we have to find them!" Sanji said, beginning to walk in circles. "There's no way Chas-san is all right by herself, especially in her condition!" Sanji began crying. "I should have never left her side!"

"But she's with Zoro, isn't she?" Chopper questioned, following behind Sanji as he began walking forward, until he stopped abruptly.

"That damn Marimo!" Sanji screamed, grabbing his head. "This was all a part of his plan to get her alone and…and…" Sanji bit his handkerchief as the dirty thoughts about what Zoro could be doing to his dear Chas at that moment (some not appropriate for young, innocent people). "That pervert! I'm going to kill him is he lays a hand on her!" Sanji was soon running off, without Chopper.

"W-Wait, Sanji!" Chopper was soon running after the chef, as fast as his legs could take him with all the cotton candy weight.
