"Zoro you don't have to." Chopper says.

"I'm going." He says firm and with a glare. Chopper goes quiet. He knows he can't force him. He never could.

They were getting ready to go on their adventure. Zoro woke up and started to get dressed. Making sure his necklace is safe in his pocket. He didn't want it falling out again.

"Don't you want to rest?" Usopp asks, hoping that mentioning taking a nap will make him stay to rest.

"I'm going." He says again. Usopp shuts up. He needed to get his mind off of everything. This will do it. He had so much he wanted to talk about and he would tell the girls about it but they stopped talking to him. And he never talked to the boys so that's out.

He didn't have anyone anymore. He wished he did. There were so many things he wished he did differently so he didn't feel this way right now.

They stopped arguing with Zoro. They wanted him to rest, heal up but he just would take it. He was stubborn. Not even Luffy got him to listen, so they took him along.

Zoro silently followed behind all of them. Nami leading them around the island. Opening secret passages, finding ruins. Robin reading texts that no one else could read. It was like any other adventure they've been on. And the whole time Zoro focused on keeping them all safe just like normal.

Zoro leaned against the wall, he was getting tired. He knew why. None of his wounds were healed all the way. That's why they wanted him to stay and rest but he didn't want to. If he did he'd be alone laying down on the bed resting or awake with his own thoughts. Thinking about Sanji and how they use to be, about how it was with the others. He knew he'd end up crying. He didn't want to show that to anyone so he decided to occupy his mind. Zoro used the wall as help and got closer to them. They were just talking about what to do next but he wanted to get closer. He'd lose them if they started walking more.

Zoro felt his center of gravity shift and he fell. And he didn't stop.

He slid down a dark passage way before sliding to a stop. Slowly he got up. Where the hell was he? It was dark and he couldn't think straight, the slide down may have reopened some things. With no where else to go Zoro walked forward.

He felt a certain step go in. He set off a trap. But nothing happened.

He set off another trap and nothing happened at first. Then he felt a lot of pain on his ankles. He shouted in pain. It was like he was being stabbed by a thousand needles. But Zoro knew it was only one giant needle on either ankle. He groaned but kept going. He wanted a distraction and got one. It was a painful distraction but a distraction none the less. He traipse forward, he didn't know where he was going but he was going forward. He stepped onto another trap and braced himself for anything that might happen.

What he didn't expect was a door to open and light to flood in. With nothing else to do he followed the light. When he reached the light he stood in the doorway to a room. He looked around to see the room, nothing really special about it. His eye lands on the chest in the middle. That was too suspicious. Zoro looks around to see the walls are empty, baren of any word or picture. Zoro stumble to the chest. The edges of his vision were getting darker and darker but he'll power through it, like he does everything. How he use to be but he couldn't do it again. Zoro fell to his knees before it. He opened it carefully.

Gold.

It's the treasure. But why is it in such a back and hidden room? Would the others find it?

He wasn't sure but whatever. He felt dizzy, so he rested against the chest and felt it go down. There was a pressure plate under it. It would be bad if he moved it. He needed a moment to rest, then he can think about how to get the chest out of there but first he should rest.

Zoro woke up to rumbling. Zoro looks around as he felt the ground rumble. What was going on? A piece of the ceiling fell.

Luffy.

That's the only explanation. He needed to get out of this spot, it wasn't safe. He was in pain but he'll power through the pain. The place was already crumbling down, he doesn't think it matters now. He grabbed the handle on the chest and started dragging it. He could feel the blood soaking his boots from the needle in his ankle. His whole body is numb and his head hurts. The room felt like it was spinning. But he held it in and kept going.

He stopped when he felt like it was save, no, it was like he was being told where it would be safe. With a last pull effort Zoro got into the spot. Tired he rest on top of the chest and closed his eyes. He's sure he'll be found, they always do find him.

Nami glared at Luffy. "Why did you take the bag?" Nami asks.

"Because it was there." Luffy says. Nami had no words. She just punched the back of his head.

"It was a booby trap. I was thinking of a way to get it without tripping the trap." She explains. She look down at the small bag with jewels. It wasn't that worth it. She was expecting something more. They all were.

Chopper looks around. "Where's Zoro?" he asks.

"He was just with us." Usopp says. "Or was he?" he asks. He doesn't really remember seeing Zoro the whole time.

"He has been rather quiet." Robin says.

"Zoro!" Chopper yells. "Zoro!" Chopper yells again, looking around. He looks at them worried, how can they not be? Chopper gets closer to the ruins of the hidden temple. It was all just debris now. Chopper sniffed the air. He couldn't smell anything. He got closer. Sniffed again. He smelled blood. "I smell blood!" Chopper yells as he ran towards where the smell is coming from.

The others followed far from him, the little reindeer had gotten a head start. He stopped when he saw in the distance a lump and green hair. Chopper ran towards him as he took off his back pack.
