Prologue:
- Narrator Pov -
The Thousand Sunny was drifting through the seas, it was a warm and sunny day much to the Straw Hats's delight. They had just recently left Fishman Island and were making their way to their next destination. Luffy was currently jumping and stretching himself across the ship, trying to keep himself out of Usopp's reach. This caused a certain Cyborg to huff in frustration and yell at him to not damage the ship.
"Oi Luffy, give me back my gadget! I need it to finish the project I'm working on!" Usopp yelled, clearly irritated at his captain's actions. Luffy stopped for a moment and then stretched his arm to Usopp, holding out the gadget for Usopp. The action surprised Usopp and he was halfway through thanking Luffy until his hand stretched back and Luffy laughed loudly at successfully tricking their resident Sniper. This earned some more audible curses from the Sniper and even earned an annoyed huff from their Navigator. The huff didn't go unnoticed by the cook and after he mumbled a silent apology to Robin when he was pouring her a drink, he viciously turned around and made sure they felt his wrath.
"OI!! SHITTY BASTARDS! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE DISRUPTING NAMI-SWAN'S DAY!?!" He yelled harshly. His yell was enough to distract the captain for a second but it was enough time for Usopp to successfully retrieve his gadget back. Him and Chopper cheered in victory while Luffy whined in disappointment. Luffy got over it quickly and then turned his attention to Sanji who resumed to pouring tea to Robin. A grin, quite literally, stretched across his face as he got a brilliant idea.
"OI SANJI! FOOOOOOD!!!" He yelled out. This caused a vein to pop in Sanji's forehead and after he patiently poured Robin's tea to fullness, he leered back at their shitty excuse of a captain.
"ALRIGHT FINE YOU SHITTY GOMU! Pardon me Nami-Swan, Robin-chwan," he said as he turned to the kitchen. Nami resumed to reading her newspaper until it was once again interuppted by an unwelcome noise. She grew irritated when she heard the unwelcome noise and eventually had enough when she heard it again. She turned to the source and saw that it came from none other than their resident Swordsman. She huffed in annoyance and got up from her lawn-chair to make her way over to him. She stopped in front of him, mentally telling him to cease his snoring at once. When he failed to do so, she raised her fist and drove it into his head, promptly waking him up in the process.
"Oi oi, what's the big idea Witch?!" He muttered grumpily. He glared at her as she tilted her head up a bit and sighed in annoyance.
"Your snoring is disrupting my reading, I suggest you either move somewhere else or stop snoring unless you want me to add to your debt," she said glaring at him, her way of returning the challenge he was offering her. He was taken aback at her ridiculous request before fighting back verbally.
"Oi why should I listen to you? And why should I care about something as meaningless as your 'precious' reading time huh?" He spat back. Her gaze darkened and an aura formed around her. As if on cue, Chopper and Usopp scrambled off the deck to avoid her wrath. Zoro flinched but challenged on and awaited for a blow to inevitably drop on his head. He closed his anticipation and waited...
...
But it never came.
He opened his eyes in confusion to see her face deep in concentration. Her brows were furrowed and she gritted her teeth. He was confused until he saw her eyes snap open and were filled with a new resolve, all of her previous anger aimed at him dissipated instantly and was now replaced by a bit of...dread?
"EVERYONE, GET OUT HERE ON DECK, THERE'S A STORM APPROACHING!!" She yelled out. They all jumped into action and Sanji, Usopp, Brook, Chopper, and Luffy ran out from the kitchen, Luffy still had a chicken wing in his mouth.
"MELLORINE!! Nami-Swan is so beautiful when giving orders!" Sanji cooed. Half the crew groaned in annoyance but immediately awaited her orders. The clouds began to darken and multiply, covering the sky in a dark gray. A bit of rain poured down until it began to rain heavily almost instantly. Nami ordered them to their positions and eventually lightning began to crackle. Franky was in the middle of trying to prepare a Coup de Burst but a thunderbolt struck down from the sky, landing on their ship's mast flag and setting fire to she ship. Chopper and Usopp ran around in panic while screaming that they were going to die. Nami pulled out her Clima-Tact and used a gust sword to blow out the flames. She looked up worringly as their flag on their mast now had a massive hole in it. It would change their trajectory when flying by a lot but they had no choice.
"Franky now!" She yelled at him. Franky nodded and cursed the clouds for ruining his precious ship before using the Coup De Burst.
"Couuup Deeee BUUURRRRSSST!!" He yelled as the ship began to glow purple at the tail end. The spherical glow grew bigger until it exploded and launched the ship way off course. They all screamed in panic but only Luffy was laughing as they all flew through the air. They landed with a heavy thud and all groaned in pain. Luffy stood upright, without a scratch. Having rubbery powers meant he was much more durable than his crew and he looked ahead, he saw a silhouette in the distance. He walked over to Usopp and grabbed a telescope to see that the silhouette he was looking at was actually an island. He grew excited at the thought of a possible adventure and shouted at his crewmates to head towards the island. They all groaned but knew they had no choice, hopefully they could get some supplies there to replace their flag and restock on any other supplies.
--
Once they docked on the island, they all took in It's appearance. It was a very rocky island and barely had any trees or any plantl ife growing there. They were able to make out a small village in the distance when Luffy perched himself up on a boulder and excitedly told his crewmates. Nami ordered them back on deck to hand them their jobs. They all stood patiently and awaited their orders except for one certain swordsman. Sanji shouted profanities at him but Nami brushed it off, immediately quenching Sanji's anger.
"Alright here's what we're going to do. Sanji, you are going to travel with Brook to look for some food, we are running a bit low but we don't need too much," she told them. Sanji grew hearts in his eyes at Nami's request but it died down when he realized that he wouldn't have any female nakama accompanying him.
"Chopper and Robin want to look into this island and see if they can gather information. Franky, I want you to travel with Luffy to make sure that he doesn't attract any trouble since I know he'll just go wander off on his own. Usopp will go with me to carry out some shopping and Zoro can stay here watching the ship," she finished. At this Zoro woke up, a bit annoyed that he would have to stay on the ship but ultimately didn't complain, more sleep for him. They all nodded and headed out to do their tasks.

- Zoro Pov -
I was snoring away on deck for only a couple of minutes until I heard footsteps approach. I instantly awoke and unsheathed my Shusui but didn't see anyone. I looked around warily but saw no one.
"Must've been in my head," I said before re-entering sleepyland. It was then that I had felt a presence, I grew irritated when I thought someone arrived back earlier and were now playing a prank on me. I ignored it and then I felt someone stand on my head. Not caring if it was a crewmate anymore, I grabbed Shusui and in one swift motion, sliced at the person standing atop me. My eye widened in shock when my blade went through them and I thought I was dealing with a Logia User.
I jumped to feet and at this point, they were now just standing in the air. It reminded of those CP9 members we fought on Water 7 and I thought that this person would be more troublesome than I thought. He was dressed in a black robe with black pants and boots. He had a very long top hat and wore a mask that resembled a mix of a skull and a robot. I could only see his red eyes staring back at me.
"Relax yourself Swordsman, I come in peace, depending on your answer," he said.
"I am here to make you an offer-" "I don't wanna hear it," I cut him off bluntly.
"Now now, don't be so hasty. I'm sure you will actually find my offer to be...enticing." He said calmly. I was wary of him, he sure as hell was acting suspicious and I never lowered my guard. He seemed to take my silence as an answer for him to continue.
"I offer you 2 options. 1, I want you to kill Luffy. Your second option, is to banish yourself from this world." He said. Now I sure as hell wasn't going to do the first option, or the other for that matter, but he didn't radiate any fear. He was very confident that he could beat me and that thought alone ticked me off.
"How about I give you my options? One, get the hell outta here and I might let you live, or two we fight and it ends with me standing above your lifeless corpse," I spat back with venom. At first, he chuckled. Then it grew into faint laughter until he was laughing loudly. It pissed me off that he wasn't even taking this seriously so I charged at him, drawing Kitetsu in the process. In the middle of my lunge, he stuck his hand through some kind of hole in the air and drew out a blade of his own.
He met my attack head on and blocked my attack with one hand. My eye widened in shock and I stepped back. He chuckled darkly and the blade in his hand disappeared.
'What's his power?' I asked myself.
"I can sense your confusion so allow me to explain. I am a man who ate the Dime-Dime Fruit. This gives me power to access dimensions and allows me to have access to other dimension's powers. This power of mine can rival even God himself. All other powers that you see are from other planes of existences. Now do you understand how futile your attempt is-" He was cut off when I grazed his cheek with Shusui.
"Shut up and fight," I uttered darkly. His eyes furrowed in anger and then he stepped back. He summoned a dimension in his right hand and expanded to the point where it was taller than me and wider than a rhino. He used his left hand and made some gestures with it. My eye widened in disbelief when a giant laser came out from the portal. I barely dodged it in the nick of time before I felt a fist drive in my gut. I coughed out a bit of blood and he held me in the air by my hair.
"Answer my offer," He said. I was racing through many thoughts, why me? Why me specifically? I found myself asking that same question over and over again. I stayed quiet until I heard him unsheathe my Wado Ichimonji.
"Answer now or I will break this blade," he muttered. I had my answer, but I wanted to think it over one more time. Should I decide to kill Luffy, the crew would break apart and kill me. If I chose the second option, it would send the crew in a state of panic and god knows what they would do. I knew that whatever would happen, there was only one thing I knew I had to do.
Protect the crew.
"...Just get rid of me," I muttered at last. He closed his eyes and openned a portal behind me and expanded it to my size.
"I think you will like Fiore...maybe even more than this world," he said. Right when he was going to throw me, I heard a yell in the distance. It was faint but I was able to make it out to be...Chopper's? I turned and saw Robin running behind him. Our eyes met and she turned her attention the man holding me before crossing her arms.
"Seis Fleurs: Clutch" Robin said as six arms appeared on the man. Two grabbed at his neck and the other four were trying to bend his back to snap him in half. This caused his grip on me to loosen and I took advantage of it immediately. I grabbed his arm and twisted it, I used Haki so it would actually affect him and I was free from his grip. I took in a long breathe of much needed air but by the time I did, the man released himself from Robin's hands and kicked me across the face. Chopper jumped on deck and transformed into his Heavy Point. He charged and swung at the man but it went right through him! The man chuckled and grabbed Chopper from the arm and tossed him into the dimension.
"CHOPPER!!!" I yelled out. I unsheathed all my blades and coated them in Haki. The man grimaced a bit and then I began to hold my blades out in a familiar pose.
"Santoryu..." I muttered as a dark aura formed around me. My eye glinted red and the pressure was building up on the ship that it weighed on us. This caused the man's knees to buckle a bit and I noticed a faint expression of fear in his eyes. The wind was blowing in our ears before I pounced to attack.
"Purgatory: ONIGIRI!!!!" I yelled as I charged at the man. I felt the contact from his body from my blades and blood gushed out of him. He was close to passing out but then I remembered Chopper and how he was still stuck in the portal, the portal was shrinking and if I didn't act now we would lose him forever.
"CHOPPER!!" I yelled as I charged at the portal. I was stopped in my tracks when I felt arms pushing me back and I looked over at Robin, her expression full of fear.
"You can't go! Who knows where that place leads to!" Robin yelled out.
"If I don't go, who knows what Chopper will have to deal with! I can't leave him there by himself Robin!" I yelled back. She grimaced and when the portal closed a bit more, I looked at her pleadingly.
"ROBINN!!!" I yelled at her. She closed her eyes before reluctantly letting me go as I charged straight into the portal,
And saw darkness.
- Narrator Pov -
Right now, we are currently in Fiore, a country filled with magic and wizards alike. Currently, we are at a village called Magnolia at the front of a small guild called Fairy Tail. In it contained a few kids, Gray, a boy who had a habit of stripping unknowingly. Natsu, a boy who is always down for a challenge. Erza, a girl who acts as a big sister to the rest of her guild mates. These are the main people who we will be focusing on as time progresses. They are all about 15 and were all sitting at a table in their guild. Gray and Natsu were fighting as usual and right before Erza would smack them into their senses, something crashed through their ceiling.
Lots of coughs could be heard and amidst all the dust, there was a small creature getting up. The dust cleared and everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at the creature in front of them.
"Oh, It's a raccoon-dog," they all said. This made the creature angry but before it could unleash It's wrath, something else crashed outside and everyone jumped at the sound.
"WAHHHHH!! THE SKY IS FALLING!" Screeched the animal.
'Didn't you just fall from the sky too?' Everyone asked themselves as a sweatdrop formed on the back of their heads. Everyone got up and looked outside to see a green-haired boy stand up and hold his head in pain. He dusted himself off and then looked to the side, blinking a few times to make sure he was seeing right.
"Who are you?" He asked in a much lighter voice. He realized this and grabbed his throat but felt his hands were a lot smaller, along with the rest of his body. He looked down and was horrified to see that he had shrunk!
Though that wasn't the case nor the reason for his shock.
To explain...his body appeared to have de-aged to the point that he was a 16 year old and the reason for his shock was although his body had indeed shrunk...his clothes did not.
Therefore he was showing his 'family jewels' to everyone to behold.
He scrambled and tried to bring up his clothes but it didn't stop the girls from shrieking and the guys from laughing. He was very embarassed and even more so when he pulled his clothes up only to drop them and reveal himself once again.
"PULL YOUR CLOTHES UP!!" Shouted a red head from the guild.
"I'M TRYING TO!!" He yelled back.
--
When he had untied and re-tied his sash to a much tighter degree, he was now fully covered.
...Though it still didn't change the fact the he looked like a boy who tied a blanket around him. After that whole fiasco, a certain reindeer was finally able to push through to see what the commotion was about. When he saw a familiar green-haired man, he almost cheered in happiness.
"ZORO!!" He screeched before running towards him and jumping on him. Zoro fell back but didn't hide the goofy grin from spreading across his face.
"Ohhh It's you Chopper!" He said back enthustiastically. He then remembered how they got there and his expression of seriousness had returned. His gaze grew dark and a certain redhead knew that look all too well. Zoro looked down in guilt them got up and proceeded to walk away. Natsu pushed Gray's face to the side and noticed the exchange and wasn't happy about it.
"Hey stranger! Where are you going? And how did you survive a fall like that?" He yelled at him. Zoro paused but didn't turn around.
"I guess someone used their Devil Fruit powers on me and launched me and Chopper here. Somehow we ended up falling and that's how we got here. As for how I survived, I trained my body to make sure that I wouldn't die from falling of all things," he finished. He then continued on before he was once again interrupted, only this time it was a redhead who stood in front of him.
"Do you really think we'll believe a story like that? Tell us the real thing," she demanded.
"Huh? He was lying? Sounded believable to me," Natsu muttered before Gray punched him. Zoro grew irritated and wanted to leave this place immediately.
"Listen here little girl, I don't need to tell you anything. Just get out of my path and I won't slice you to shreds," he said trying to move past her. When he thought he succeeded, he was surprised when he felt his arm being grabbed and the next thing he knew, he was thrown flying into a nearby wall. She didn't like the fact someone who looked to be the same age as her was treating her like some little kid.
"Oi oi what gives huh?!" He said getting back up. The rest of the guildmates surrounded them as they were now placing bets on the two teenagers, the bets were in Erza's favor. They both readied themselves but Zoro was surprised when he saw her summon a sword out of thin air.
'Are her powers related to his?' He found himself asking. They both lunged but were stopped when a booming voice made itself known.
"Stop this insolence AT ONCE!"
They both halted halfway at their attacks but that was all they needed to know. That little exchange proved that they were both much stronger than they looked. They both turned to the source and Zoro was flabbergasted when he saw an old man walk up to them.
"Young man, I know that you are eager and adamant about leaving, but if you're truly being sincere, then where are you going?" He questioned. Zoro drew Wado out of his mouth and sheathed all his blades before answering.
"I'm just trying to find a way to leave this place. I'm not from here and I wish to go back to my world as soon as possible. I wish to head back and meet up with the rest of my crew so we can find and beat up the man who sent us here."
"Where are you from?"
"I am from the East Blue, but right now my friends and I are on a journey in the New World," Zoro noticed that when he said this, lots of murmurs passed through them and when he looked at the redhaired girl, he could've sworn he saw a look of sympathy.
"Young man, this is Magnolia, a city in the country of Fiore and magic is the source of our powers," he said. Zoro looked confused and decided that he just wanted to head back, this world was too confusing.
"Well just let me leave," Zoro was about to head back until he felt Chopper tug on his yukata. Chopper looked at up at him with a face fill of guilt and Zoro grew angry at the fact that Chopper would think about that.
"Zoro I-" "No Chopper. It's no one's fault," Zoro said interuppting Chopper.
"Eh?"
"Chopper, don't blame yourself, this is probably one of the better outcomes anyway and we're lucky that we're both still alive right now. It wasn't your fault that we're in this mess so don't blame yourself got it?" Zoro finished sternly.
...
"Erm Zoro?"
"What?"
"I was actually going to say that I kind of fell through their ceiling and we should probably pay for it. Even though we're pirates, it would be rude to cause damage and leave it like that," Chopper said trying to stifle a giggle. The people around began to laugh as Zoro flushed red at his mistake.
"I...I see," he said at last. He looked back the guild members with a glare that made some of them shut up.
"Yosh, then I will pay for the damage we've caused and then we will head back," Zoro stated. He tried to walk away but stopped when he realized that he had no idea where to go.
"Oi is there some kind of place where I could pick up some bounties?" He asked turning back to them. The old man looked at him and told him that they actually had bounties up for request.
"Yosh, I'll do that and then give you guys the money alright," he tried to make his way inside but was stopped by the old man.
"Sorry but only guild members are allowed access to those bounties he said. Zoro grew irritated and decided to just try some other area, surely they had some other places to give away bounties right?
"Tsk, let's go Chopper, we'll try to find some other area that gives bounties," he said before turning away.
After that ordeal, the guild mates continued on with what they were doing like nothing happened. The three other teenagers even lost thought about it as well until they saw Zoro come back and knock on their door. When they openned the door Zoro looked shock that he had knocked on their guild, like he forgot how their guild looked like and where it was. He muttered a quick apology and when he disappeared with the reindeer by his side, they all laughed to themselves.
--
They were beginning to get annoyed when he knocked for the sixth, seventh, and even eighth time he came back. They all assumed that he was just messing with them now and when he did it again for the ninth time, Erza had enough.
"Oh boy that kid asked for it..."
"Should've warned him..." two guild members said to themselves.
When Erza openned the door, she surprisingly didn't attack him on sight and instead gave him an offer.
"Since you keep getting lost and keep mistaking this guild for another I will give you an option, if you knock on this guild one more time, I will force you to join our guild. That's only if you knock here again got it?" She said sternly. Zoro mutely nodded his head and then left again.
Hours passed and there was no sign of the green-haired kid anymore.
"Seems like Erza got through to him,"
"Good, would've been a nuisance to have a kid like that here," two guildmembers said to no one on particular.
Erza frowned at hearing their conversation. She didn't know why but she found herself being intrigued by the boy, maybe it was just because they had that sword interest. But something told her that it was actually more...
...
She hoped he would knock soon.
--
Night time rolled by and Zoro found himself hopelessly lost in the city. He was near some kind of bridge pathway and he always found himself near it. Chopper complained about how hungry he was and Zoro was growing desperate.
"Damnit..." he said. He continued to wander around aimlessly and eventually, he found himself in front of a guild but he couldn't help but notice that it looked awfully familiar. He put that thought aside and knocked on it. The door openned up and he paled when he saw the redhead from earlier open it.
"Well I guess you're going to become a guild member then. Tell me, are you going to fight or will you stay peacefully?" She asked unfazed.
"I'll stay, once I make a promise I don't go back on it. But just because I join your guild don't expect to stay here forever!" He said. She looked at his shoulder and saw the raccoon-dog from earlier was now perched up and sleeping on him. She let out a faint giggle and it made Zoro growl in anger. She would never admit but the sight of such a grumpy kid letting a cute creature like that sleep on their should was kind of... cute.
"Sheshe, I knew he would literally come around eventually," said the old man.
"Makarov!" Said Erza, surprised that he was awake.
"Now don't play dumb now Erza, especially when you looked at the door longingly. I also would never miss the chance when recieving new exotic guild members" Makarov teased. Her face grew red and Zoro didn't know why.
"So what, am I officially a guild member now or?" Zoro asked. He was a bit taken aback when he felt himself being pulled by his hand by Erza and they led him to the counter. Zoro described the place as that of a bar and Zoro found himself smirking hopefully just because he looked 15 didn't mean that couldn't hold his liquor. Erza rummaged through the counter before pulling out some kind of stamping object with a symbol on it.
"Ok, what color and where do you want it?" She asked him. Zoro thought about it before settling on green and telling her to place it on his left arm. Zoro untied his bandanna and she placed it there. For some reason when she did that, Zoro felt himself declared a new sense of loyalty for these people.
"And for the raccoon-dog?" She asked.
"Eh?" Zoro asked.
"The thing on your shoulder," she informed.
"You mean Chopper? He's a reindeer not a tanuki you know," Zoro defended. She rolled her eyes and Zoro nudged his shoulder to try and wake up Chopper. When that failed, Zoro decided to pull on Chopper's ear and it caused him to stir.
"Hmhmhm hah?" He yawned.
"Chopper where do you want your mark?"
"My what?"
"Your mark, me and you are going to join this guild for a bit," Zoro suggested, trying to help him understand. Chopper still wasn't sure what Zoro was rambling on about but he lifted his hat and pointed his hoof at the center.
"What color?" She asked.
"Mmhmm Pink," he blurted. She found herself smiling at the pair and how cute the reindeer looked when he was sleepy. She stamped it and Zoro placed his hat to cover it. She put the stamp and ink away before sticking her hand out.
"Congratulations, you two are now official Fairy Tail guild members," Erza chirped. Zoro reluctantly agreed and shook her hand and wondered if he would regret this decision of his later down the line. He was taken by surprise when he soon heard loud cheers fill the room and turned around to see all the guild members cheering and congratulating him and Chopper on becoming members.
Zoro took in the sight and felt nostalgic like when him and his crew would throw a party. Thinking about them brought a smile to his face and he looked over at Chopper who was somehow sleeping through all of this. He chuckled before thinking them and reluctantly sat down on the floor, leaning on the counter and falling asleep.
This surprised them but they didn't mind, after all everyone was tired at the moment. Some left and some stayed to sleep.
"That kid is going to stand out from the rest of us don't you think?"
"Yeah but It's nothing we can't handle," said two members.
Erza looked at him thoughtully and wondered about him and his story. She made herself comfortable before drifting off to sleep.
'Maybe one day I can get him to open up to me,' she thought before she fell asleep.
Meanwhile, on the Thousand Sunny
The crew were all in shock and guilt. They had just lost their doctor and First Mate on such short notice. Franky cried manly tears while Nami wiped away her own tears. Robin had explained to them what had transpired while they were gone and the situation at hand. Luffy was currently overcome with anger at the man Robin had mentioned.
"Oi, everyone," he said seriously. They all looked up at him, expecting the answer they knew would come out of his mouth and mentally prepared themselves.
"Let's go kick that guy's ass and make him give us back Zoro and Chopper," he stated. They all nodded firmly, agreeing with thwir captain's decision. They were all filled with a newfound resolve and put away the regret as best as they could. There was no tome for tears, only action.
'Zoro, Chopper. Wherever you two are, we promise you.
We. Will. Find. You.' They all agreed mentally at the same time.
