Zoro followed the sound of Chopper.
When she got there she saw Sanji on the floor bleeding while Chopper protect him but not able to check on him.
"Chopper!" Zoro shouts. She unsheaths her katanas, resting Wado back in place of her mouth. How it's been a while.
Zoro took them down with minimal difficulty. It had felt like it had been years since she faught. Since she held her own katanas in her hands, the feeling of the fight, the way her swords pierced the skin of her enemy. The sight of blood coming out of the wounds she had just created, going down the blade of her sword. It's an exhilarating feeling, a feeling someone could get hooked on and addicted to.
"Zoro!" Chopper shouts happy to see her.
"What happened?" Zoro asks protecting Chopper as the doctor checks on Sanji who doesn't seem to be moving but he's bleeding.
"There were to many and he was protecting me." Chopper looks down sadly as he checks on Sanji.
Zoro sheathed her swords and looked at Chopper. With the marines dead now they were in a small break before the next wave of marines come to them. "Let's get him somewhere safe for now." Zoro says helping Chopper get Sanji somewhere safe.
They find a small cave and go in there. "Thanks, Zoro. It was a little dangerous to check on Sanji out there." Chopper says going into serious doctor mode. Zoro looks around.
"I'm going a head. I'm going to block the entrance while you help the cook. I'll leave to distract them from you both."
"How'll I find you?"
"Don't worry." Zoro smiles. Like she says she blocks the entrance not all the way, he needs a way to open it. After that she leaves.
Sanji needs to rest. He was shot and sliced with some broken bones.
Nami sits down on the grass taking break. They've been at this for a long time now and still no word from Sanji. "Franky," she calls, "let's dock."
"Are you sure?" He asks. Nami nods.
"Yeah. I've been trying to reach them but haven't been able too. I don't think they're ignoring me, they might be fighting. And we don't know if Zoro delivered the swords yet." Nami says.
"Why not get close to the island and use the waiver to get to shore?" Robin suggest.
"That's might be better."
"No, I'll dock. If they are fighting then I should get the submarine. You all could look for the others." Franky says turning the ship towards the island.
"Okay. But we don't know what we'll fine on the island." Usopp points out.
"We all would have gone anyway." Nami says.
"Woo whoo! We're going on the island!" Luffy shouts happily and he jump.
When they get on shore they seperate, Franky going along shore to see if they might have left the submarine. As soon as they stepped into the jungle they saw bodies of marines here and there, always in one area then empty and more bodies appearing in a different area. "So they were fighting." Brook says.
"Let's find them to help. Maybe they haven't been able to find the grave yet because of this." Nami says.
They follow the carnage as much as they can before they realize they were going in circles. "Are we following Zoro?" Usopp asks. With how it's going it makes it seem like they are. But why? She should be with Sanji and Chopper. Nami sits down after having walked for so long, she needs a break. She sits on a random rock, letting her legs rest.
Robin stands there looking at where they had stopped. Surrounded by shrubs, trees and cave with a small slit left from the boulder that blocked the entrance. "Luffy, can you move this?" Robin asks pointing at the boulder. Luffy moves it no problem.
"What do you see Robin?" Nami asks standing up.
"In the dirt there a track mark of the boulder being moved." Robin explains motioning to said track marks. They all look. "Something behind here." Robin says. They didn't need to walk far in before they see Chopper sitting down next to Sanji. Chopper looking through his backpack, glad that he packed things.
"Chopper! Sanji!" They shouted. The little reindeer turns to look at them all shocked. They're here.
"You guys." Chopper says.
"What happened?"
"Sanji was hurt." Chopper says just as Sanji rouse from his rest. "Good, just in time." Chopper smiled as he looks at Sanji.
"Wha-?" Sanji looks around confused at being in a cave, from what it looks like. Then he sees the others, but two people are missing, Franky and more importantly Zoro. "Where's..."
"Franky is getting the submarine. We haven't seen Zoro." Nami says.
"Zoro is distracting the marines from Sanji and I."
"Did Zoro find the grave?" Sanji asks sitting up with the help of Chopper.
"Did she?" Nami asks impatiently.
"Yes. But Sanji was hurt and we didn't have anything to contact you guys." Chopper says.
"Then let's find Zoro and get out of here." Nami says.
"What's our next course?" Usopp says.
"Where the log pose is pointing." Nami says.
"Take it easy." Chopper intructs Sanji.
As they exit the cave they hear the sounds of things blowing up. That's Zoro.
They followed the sound of destruction. When they got closer they could the sound of war cries. Screaming and shouting. The sound of steel on steel. Gun shots here and there. They got to a clearing, in the middle is a pond. They watched Zoro fight multiple people at once. They did notice one person standing behind the others. He was injured but not to serious but there was a marine field medic with him so that might be why. Zoro ran in a straight line twisting at the end.
Her dragon twister took down most of them. She stood there staggering in place. She was tired. How long had she been fighting them?
They ran to her to help but was stopped by Zoro. She looked at them and shook her head.
"Where are they?" The man growls as he stands up. Zoro just stays quiet. "The swords, where are they?" he yells. He stands up and pushes the medic away. Against Zoro stays quiet not saying a word which only infuriated the man more. "I'll kill you first then I'll find the swords." He says menacingly.
"They're were they belong." Zoro says using one move to take down both him and the medic.
Zoro sheaths her swords and fall onto the floor, tired.
