Zoro sat in the swing lightly swigging herself back and forth. In deep thought she thought about what she could do. She hasn't touched the crimson katana in a while. She's accepted that she is connected to the sword but she doesn't know what do do from here. How can she help when she doesn't know how? It's one thing if shes told but she hasn't, she has to figure this out somehow. She looks up to see the girls at a table, that was set out for them, talking about whatever they talk about. She look at the sky and close her eyes. She uses her haki to sense where everyone is. She knows Nami and Robin are on deck talking. Franky and Usopp are in their workshops. Chopper is in his room. Sanji is in the kitchen most likely making snacks for the girls. And Luffy is in the aquarium with Brook.

She smiles. She loves the quiet days on the Sunny where she could just sunbathe if she wanted to. How the crew could enjoy doing their own little hobbies with nothing really to worry about.

Wait, the crew. That's it? How does the crew find anything out? They investigate. Well Nami and Robin does, everyone else just follows Nami's instructions. That's what she'll do. She will investigate on her own. Zoro looked around to see she forgot that they are in the middle of nowhere. But this is kind of exciting. She starts to smile. She's always just the muscle.

She's just the muscle. Her smile fades. What does she know about investigating? She just punches and kicks the ass of the people she needs to. How does she even investigate her swords? What questions does she even ask? Where does she start? There goes her excitement. She started to swing slowly again. She sighs. Maybe she should ask Nami to help her but every time she thinks that she gets a feeling, something tells her that she can't and she probably shouldn't.

To busy thinking she didn't notice that Nami and Robin have been staring at her for a while. "She's adorable and doesn't know it. It's like having an adorable little sister. No, it's not 'like,' this is what's it like right?" She asks Robin with a smile.

"But she is a year older than you." Robin asks turning to look at Nami.

"She's still adorable which is weird to call Zoro. She does seem to be thinking about something."

"She must have a lot on her mind."

"Which is understandable, she fainted for no reason and was comatose for a week. I would be thinking and worried that- MARINES!" Nami shout standing up. Zoro looks up to Nami then turns her head to the direction Nami is looking at. One marine battle ship headed their way. It is closer than it should be. Too close. How did they not notice it till now? How did she not notice it till now? Zoro stands up and goes to the foremast where she left her swords. She can hear everyone in the background running to get their weapon or other supply they need to fight. Zoro just stood there staring at her new swords. Should she fight with them? Would that be wise? The crimson sword could have her faint in the middle of the battle which would only cause trouble for them and that's the last thing she wants to happen. That's why she trained so hard.

Zoro reached forward to grab them both and tied it around her red sash she got from Mihawk. No matter the sword, if its not broken she will use it to protect all her nakama even if it is cursed. If she might pass out she better take down as many marines as she can before it happens. She felt the katana throb at her side. 'What was th-' she starts to think before her mind became clear and only one word is left: Protect.

She will protect her nakama.

"Get ready you guys! They're almost here!" Nami shouts as she clutches onto her clima-tact. Her face frowns. For those stupid marines to bother them on a nice evening like this. Can't take one break, can they?

In an instant Zoro appears, crouching on the railing. "I've got this." Zoro says. The tone in her face is unnerving and more sinister than it should be. Luffy didn't even get to nod yet before she disappeared. At least that's what it seemed like to the others. Luffy and Sanji saw that she jumped. They all stare at the deck of the battleship to not see the splash of green. If anything the marines seemed to also be getting ready to fight.

"She didn't put on her shoes." Nami says still frowning.

"She's also wearing a white tank top and black shorts." Brook says. "I wonder what-"

"Luffy." Sanji says cutting Brook off.

"Yeah." Luffy nods.

"What?" Nami asks. She looks at the boys but before they could answer they all hear a big boom sound. They looked over to the marine ship, it being closer to them now that they could all see clearly.

Zoro stood there standing on the captain of this ship's head as he lay on the floor. Beaten and blooded. Not moving an inch, not twitching to get Zoro's bare foot off his face. The wind blew her hair showing her face. The corner if her lips crack up in a grin on one side. The marines all turned to face Zoro. She dodges one swipe at her and land a hard punch into his face. Then She dodges again and kick one guy in the gut waiting as he hunches over to clinch his stomach before she knees him in the face. She then dodges a couple if swipes and failed hits to grab one marines face to bash the back of his head into another marine that is close by. With that person down and out of commission she slams the Marines head in hands into the floor. He finally stops struggling.

She stands up straight and finally unsheathes her sword. The crimson stands out in the see of white and navy blue the marines wear. She charges at the biggest man she see kicking him in the stomach. As he hunches over she side steps out of his grasp and twists behind him. Once behind him she kicks him in the back of his knee, forcing him to kneel. With one hand on his head she uses the other to decapitate him. His body falls forward as she held onto his hair in the air. She threw it in the air only to catch it again like some sort of ball. She looked up at the next strongest guy and threw the head at him. The head slamming right in his nose. In a flash she in front of him. One hand gripping his hair and the other slashing her sword at his neck. Another person decapitated. This time though she tosses the head aside.

The marines and Straw hats stare at her for a while in silence before the marines erupt in a shout to take her down. But they are obviously out matched, out classed, and they don't stand a chance against her.

Her nakama watch as she punch, kicks and slashes her way through them. Sanji met her eyes during the fight and it sent chills down his spine.
