Crazy trouble with love part 8
Reiju and Zoro
Series: One Piece
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Sabaody island, a lawless place on the edge of the new world, a place all pirates stop before making the journey to fish man island. It was filled with all sorts of various stores and shops that made it out to be some kind of tourist spot with all sorts of stuff to purchase and see.
It also had many official ports for traveling ships and almost twice as many 'secret' ports for pirates and other scum that don't want the navy to know they're there. We pan over near one port where a familiar ship was currently docked. On the brightly colored pirate ship waving the grinning, straw hatted jolly roger was a familiar green haired swordsman.
"So, I'm the first one back to the ship, huh?" He remarked looking around the ship while glad to see it was still in one piece. "Wow, I was kind of expecting some jackass would have tried and take the ship while we were gone."
He walked around it while smiling since now this meant he just had to wait for the others to show up and they could set sail again. 'I wonder if we have any sake left?' He thought as he began to head to the kitchen, unaware of the giant ship heading towards the thousand Sunny.
Said ship had a large castle on it and looked like it was on a huge snail with the flags on it showing the number '66'.
"Ma'am, we've reached grove 1 of Sabaody island, but it seems like there is another ship docked there as well, shall we send a team down to investigate it?" Asked a man with a uniform on as he stood at attention to the pink haired woman sitting on a throne.
"No, I think I shall investigate this one myself, the trip here has been quite dull after all." She smiled before standing up as the soldier bowed.
"Will you be needing any men to come with?"
"I doubt it, I doubt there is anyone down there that could harm me." She waved off. "If I need any men I'll send a signal flare."
"Alright, I wish you success Lady Reiju!" Saluted the man with a nod.
"That's to be expected." She smirked as she made her way out of the room and headed down the hall as the ship began to slow down near the shore. 'Great, we're here at one of the only semi-interesting islands in paradise and I have to spend it refueling the snail, what fun, this ship better be entertaining.'
With Zoro he came back on top while guzzling from a sake bottle. "Ah, still good… where did that snail come from?" He questioned turning and saw the ship drop anchor nearby and looked at the bottle. "Wow, this stuff is either stronger than I remember or I'm about to get some company." He said before he saw a figure jump off the large castle on the back of the snail. "Definitely company."
Said figure came towards the sunny making Zoro back up and saw them land on the deck gracefully without crashing. "Huh, grass on a ship, how quaint." Said the figure as they looked up and saw the Strawhat Jolly Roger. "Wait, is this the boat of Monkey D Luffy?"
"You're quick." Remarked Zoro tossing the bottle away with a smirk. "Seems to me like you're no slouch if you can recognize our flag and not sound nervous."
"Why would I be nervous about a crew weaker than me? Besides, I owe your crew for taking in my brother." She chuckled as she shook her head with her eyes closed as she remembered Sanji.
"Eh? Brother?" Blinked Zoro with his remaining eye.
"Yes, Sa-" She started as she opened her eyes to look at Zoro only to freeze.
"Sa-what?" He asked seeing her suddenly stop and stare at him with wide eyes. "Hey, you alright there?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow in confusion. 'What is up with her?'
"W...W….W….WOW!" She let out before getting a large grin as her eyes turned to hearts and steam came from her ears. "What a man~!" She cried as she felt a strange feeling in her chest. 'What is this, it feels amazing!'
What Reiju didn't know was that seeing Zoro caused something to change inside her, like a switch that had been turned off since she was born. For the first time since she was an infant, Reiju was actually feeling emotions, something that she was completely unprepared to deal with.
"Wait, what?" He said in confusion as her mouth opened up, making an exaggerated tongue shoot out. 'What the hell? Wait, acting, weird, hearts for eyes, why does that sound familiar?'
"Hey hot stuff, what's your name?" She asked with a grin. 'Rugged looks, big muscles, awesome scar over his eye, he's perfect in every possible way!'
"Wait, you know about the crew, and know your brothers with us, but you don't know me?" He asked, feeling insulted and annoyed.
"I only bothered to see your captains poster and my brothers, so let's hear your name beefcake~"
"Roronoa Zoro, how can you not know about me, I have the second highest bounty of the crew!"
"Aw calm down Zoro-Kyun!" She cheered while walking over closer to him without losing her smile. "No need to get so upset, you sure look WAY better than that silly rubby boy any day to me~!"
'Ok, this is weird, this seems way too familiar to shitty co-wait!' He thought as his eye widened. "Hey, are you Sanji's sister?" He asked as she kept grinning and nodded. 'No wonder I thought it was familiar! She acts just like him!'
"Yep, now come here Zoro-kyun, I need to thank you for looking out for him~" She winked with Zoro sweat dropping and getting a shudder.
"Sorry but I'll have to decline, I'm good enough." He said with a frown as she just chuckled and shook her head.
"Oh Zoro-Kyun, since when did I say that was a request?"
"Come again?" He said before she suddenly lunged towards him, arms stretched out.
"Come to Reiju hot stuff!"
"Woah!" He cried before narrowly ducking from her arms and jumped to the side as she landed and turned to him with a glint in her eyes. "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you, are you a pervert like your brother too?!"
"Now that's not true, I just happen to get excited when I see my dream man is all." She chuckled as she licked her lips. "Light green hair, awesome body, strong, rugged bad boy looks, what more could I want?"
"Sanity for one thing." He said with a sweatdrop. 'She's defietly shittycook's sister!'
"How rude to say to a lady." She remarked before lunging at him again. "You deserve a punishment!"
"Oh hell no, go away you crazy woman, and get off the Thousand Sunny!" He yelled before pulling a sword out which she spotted and spun her body in the air and narrowly avoided his swing before landing on the railing.
"Oh my, some foreplay before the fun Zoro-kyun? You certainly know how to show a girl a good time~" She purred making Zoro pale before he jumped over the otherside of the ship. "Hey, come back here sweet stuff!"
"Nope nope nope nope nope! Hell no!" He chanted as he landed and started booking it away from the ship. "I'm not gonna stop until I can get away from this place!"
"Then I'll come with you, let's go find a nice love hotel!" She called out as she jumped off and took off running after him.
"Lady Reiju, where are you going?!" Called one of her subordinates as they watched their leader run away.
"Getting me my perfect man!" She called back with a grin. "Guard our ship and the smaller one as well!"
"...did she just say her perfect man?"
"If Lady Reiju wants us to guard the ship, then we'll do that and wait until she returns." Spoke another.
"Right, we were made to serve her and the Germa 66, their word is law!"
The guards straightened up and stuck to their spots while Zoro himself glanced over his shoulder to see Reiju keeping pace behind him.
'Crap, why did I have to be stuck with the shitty cooks crazy sister? I can't just cut her down, that would be cowardly!' He thought while seeing small hearts rising from her as she didn't seem phased by how fast they were running. 'Damn it, she's at least as strong as that damn cook is, maybe I just need to keep running and maybe she'll lose interest?'
"Come on Zoro-kyun, running away makes you so much more handsome!" She cooed as she kept chasing him while sneaking looks at his rear. "So come here and give Reiju some love~"
"I'd sooner deal with Usopp telling tall tales every day for every hour!" He snapped as he kept running before he suddenly found himself in the middle of the amusement park part of Sabaody. 'I need to ditch her, and this place is perfect!'
"Wait, how did we end up here, this place is on the other side of the island." Muttered Reiju as she shook herself out of her love induced haze for a moment. "Wait, we're here together in an amusement park….oh my, Zoro-kyun is taking me on a surprise date~!" She cheered out with heart eyes making him pale and bolt down a random direction. "Wait! No need to be shy Zoro-kyun!"
'It's not being shy, it's being reasonable you crazy woman!' He thought as he ducked down an alley with Reiju jumping up to a nearby rooftop and followed. 'Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hi- there!' He thought as he ducked in through an open door, not seeing the sign above reading 'mirror maze'.
Reiju herself skidded to a stop when she didn't see Zoro come out the other end and dropped down into the alley and looked around. "Zoro-kyun? Where'd you go?" She called as she looked around in confusion and annoyance. 'Damn it, where did he go?'
With said swordsman he looked around when he saw his reflection all around him with the lights dimmed. 'Huh? What the hell, what is this place?'
"Oh my god, so many Zoro-kyuns! Is this heaven?"
"Shit!" Zoro took off running in his best guess as the path with his reflections mirroring him while Reiju looked around.
"While this is nice I'd really like to find my Zoro-kyun, now where are you~?" She called with a smile.
"I am not yours you crazy woman!" He called out as she followed. "Go chase some other guy!"
"I don't want another guy, I want you Zoro-kyun~" She chuckled as she lunged towards one of the many Zoros, only to hit a mirror. She moved back and rubbed her face with a huff and tried navigating around. "Being surrounded by so many of you is getting me all flustered and more eager, especially since it's dark in here and it's just the two of us~"
"Stop making it sound dirty, why did you have to be a pervert like your brother?" he groaned as he felt around the mirrors, trying to find the exit before he suddenly felt something soft. "Huh?" He blinked looking down and squeezed it again.
"O-Oooh, go ahead Zoro-kyun, squeeze me again~" Moaned the pinkette, making him pale. "Also I found you, and it seems like you're a perv too~"
"S-Sorry!" He cried pulling his hand away and backed up as she giggled.
"Don't be sorry, this date is going great Zoro-kyun, now th- hey, what are you doing?!" She asked in confusion as he pulled out his swords before cutting a hole in the roof and jumping out. "Wait! We haven't held hands in the dark yet!"
"And we're not going to, now go away!" He cried out as he ran as fast as he could as she jumped after him. 'I can't believe I actually touched her breast!'
'I can't believe he touched my breast and is still being so shy.' She thought with a sigh. 'I'll definitely have to fix that when I get my hands on him for good, oh that is going to be fun~'
Zoro looked around the place and avoided people before spotting an ice cream parlor and bolted for it. 'I can lose her in there!'
"Come on Zoro-kyun, why must you try to evade me so? Am I not good enough?" Called Reiju as she saw him running to the shop. 'Ice cream? Oh! He must want to treat me to a sweet treat, he's so thoughtful!'
'Ok, I get in, wait for her to leave then book it to the ship and then kill shitty cook for having a crazy sister!' Thought Zoro as he pushed the door open and skidded to a stop with the employee behind the counter smiling.
"Welcome sir to our ice cream parlor, what would you like to order?"
"I don't want ice cream, I need to hide, there's a mad woman after me!" He cried out quickly. "Where's the back door to this place?"
"Sorry sir, but there is no back door, and I wouldn't let you use it either way, would you like to try our navy blueberry flavor today?"
"No! I don't have time to get ice cream!"
"Then I'm going to have to ask you to leave, would you like anything today ma'am?"
"Yes, this beefcake to go~" Called a voice into Zoro's ear as he felt two arms wrap around his neck from behind, making him freeze. "Oh, and a cone of vanilla ice cream to share."
"Right away ma'am." Bowed the employee with Zoro feeling Reiju's breath against his neck.
"That was fun Zoro-kyun, but it's rude to run away from a lady like that and not even hold her hand, I'll have to make you pay for that later~" She purred making Zoro gulp and found himself dragged over to a nearby table and made to sit down while she sat across from him. "So Zoro-Kyun, now that we have a chance to relax why don't you tell me about yourself, I want to know everything."
"I'll pass." He replied bluntly.
"Why, are you shy?" She teased with a smile. "Afraid of little old me~?"
"No, I just make it my job not to tell some random loon my private stuff."
"Well good thing you're only telling little old me." She chuckled. "Come now, I want to know about my brothers crewmate, is that so bad?"
"You chased me all the way here while acting like that shitty cook, so yeah." He replied, again bluntly.
"So I was a bit excited, I just saw my ideal guy, also one of the few men who weren't cloned Eunuchs, my family or enemy soldiers that I've had the pleasure of meeting."
"Wait, cloned?"
"Yes, part of Germa 66's special technology, but that isn't important right now." She said with a smile as the worker brought her a large vanilla cone.
"Your order ma'am."
"Thank you." She said with a smile. "Now then Zoro-kyun, let's share this like a real couple~"
"We're not a couple, if anything you're trying to kidnap me." He sweatdropped.
"Small detail, now come on, let's get to sharing." She said with a smile. She held the cone over near his face. "You can have the first lick."
"I'm not hungry." He said, making her sigh.
"Come on Zoro-kyun, don't be stubborn!" She pouted making him shake his head.
"Forget it, I'm not having any."
"Come oooooon." She said as she pushed the cone closer to him, making a tick mark appear on his forehead. "Just one little lick is all I'm asking."
"No, in fact I'm leaving." He said as he stood up, making her frown deepen. "I have to wait for the rest of my friends and don't have time for stuff like this."
"Yes, you do, now sit back down." She said with a frown as he began to walk towards the door.
"Nope, I gotta get back to the ship." He said, sensing her marching towards him with haki.
"That was NOT a choice." She said as she tried to grab his shoulder, only for him to dodge and make it out of the shop. "I don't know what I'm feeling right now, but it's making me feel like there's a fire inside me!" She growled in anger.
"Alright, now which way was the ship again?" Asked Zoro looking left and right.
"You! Get back here right now!" She growled as she lunged at him quickly.
"Woah!" He brought a sword out and narrowly blocked a kick with her footwear not cutting as she bounced back and landed on her feet. "What the hell was that about?!"
"How dare you try to leave me, I won't let you!" She roared as she lunged at her once more. "And once I beat you up I'll be able to heal you back to health Zoro-kyun~"
"Shit!" He turn and started running while she missed. 'She's insane!'
"Get back here!" She cried as her eyes turned into hearts again. "Oh Zoro-kyun, the thrill of the chase just makes me want you more~"
'Damn it! I am not cut out for something like this!' He thought as she resumed running after him.
'Oh Zoro-kyun, I don't know what this feeling is, but I'm looking forward to finding out with you~' She thought while anyone who saw this were creeped out, thinking the two were a weird couple going through some trouble.
"Wow, the youngsters today sure are rambunctious."
"Wait, is that Roronoa Zoro?"
"I think so."
"Wait...I think I know that woman!"
"Yeah, isn't she part of that infamous kingdom, the Germa something?"
"Yeah, why is a literal princess chasing after a pirate?"
"No idea, but something tells me crazy stuff is gonna go down, I'm out of here."
"Yeah, but why is he headed towards the auction house in grove 1?"
'That place looks like a good hiding spot!' He thought as he burst through a pair of doors, ignoring everyone inside, neglecting to notice the people in cages with collars around their neck. He kept on running and ducked behind a curtain before breathing a sigh of relief. "I think I lost her."
"Well folks, it seems like we have a surprise product for sale, if my eyes don't deceive me this is the first mate of the straw hat pirates, Roronoa Zoro!"
The green haired swordsman blinked and saw a large crowd of people in front of him as a spotlight shined on him. "Huh? Wait, isn't this that shitty auction house, how did I get here?"
"Well ladies and gentleman, I'd say someone like this would make a great addition!" Called the announcer with a smile. "A huge bounty, one of the supernovas, and is quite the master at the swords. Let's start the bidding at 7 million beri!"
"8 million, a specimen like this doesn't come around every day!"
"13 million, having him under my heel would be fun." Chuckled a very large woman.
"19 million, having a man like that as my bodyguard would be an excellent investment." Spoke an elderly man with a cigar in his mouth.
'Are they seriously bidding on me? They do know that I'm not a slave, I don't have a collar or anything.' Thought Zoro who felt annoyed, but heard the numbers go up which boosted his ego.
"Alright, 130 million, not bad! Do I hear any other bids?" Called the auctioneer with a grin. 'This is great, this guy is a literal cash cow!'
"300 million!"
That made the bidders go silent and turn with their eyes widening as the spotlight shined on a smiling Reiju. "I found you Zoro-kyun~"
"W-What an amazing bid! Sold to the pink haired woman!"
"Oh my god, isn't that the princess of the Germa 66?"
"What is she doing here?"
"I don't know, but I'm glad I didn't try to buy that guy, if she wants him she'll get him, she's almost as dangerous as the world nobles!"
"Hell no! I'm not even a slave!" Yelled Zoro bolting through the curtain.
"Stop him, we don't get paid if he escapes!"
"Hey, stop! Come on, we just want to get paid man!"
"Get back here Zoro-kyun, I bought you!" Called Reiju as she and the slave sellers ran after him as he bolted out through the back. "Damn it, get back here, I promise being mine won't be so bad~"
"So, um… if you want you can pay us and we can give you and a receipt to him so the marines have to give him to you if they catch him?" Suggested the auctioneer nervously. 'Crap, no slave no money!'
"If I don't have my beefcake with me, you don't get a coin." She spoke with a cold look that made him feel scared. "Now get out of my way, I have to go get him!"
'Damn it.' He thought with a groan before grabbing one of the guards. "I want every slave hunter after that guy, if we get him we're rich!"
"Right away boss!" He nodded while Zoro himself looked around for a new hiding spot.
'Crap crap crap, why the hell did Sanji have to have a bat shit crazy sister, why are there two perverted twirly browed idiots in the world?!' He thought before hearing yelling and saw several guys with nets and chains chasing him making him feel annoyed, but not that much. 'They can't be serious.'
"Get back here, we're going to make a fortune off of your head!"
'Damn bounty hunters.' He thought with a frown. 'I don't have time to deal with their bullshit as well!'
"Come back here you bastard!" Called one of them before Zoro stopped and turned to them with a cold look while slowly pulling his swords out.
"You wanna try and sell me? Then let's see if you have the guts to put your life on the line." He said, making the men stop in their tracks nervously. "Well? Come on, if you're so confident you can sell me let's see if you're willing to die for it."
All of them started to nervously sweat before looking at each other as one of them nudged another one forward.
"W-We already sold you, w-we just need to get you to the pink haired woman to get paid."
"And did you think that would be easy?" He growled as he noticed Reiju getting closer and closer. 'I need to hurry this up now!'
"Uh…."
"Leave. Or else." He spoke while they saw the shine coming off the swords and swore they saw a huge figure behind him that looked like they were gonna eat their souls.
"...money ain't worth this!" Cried one before they ran off.
"Yeah, at least we tried, I'm out of here!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
'Damn small fries.' He thought as he began to resheath his swords. 'They never learn.'
"Zoro-kyun, I'm going to get you, now stop running and we can go somewhere and go have some fun~" Called Reiju as she jumped straight up into the air, in the direct sunlight making Zoro squint his eye. "This chase has been fun and all, but I think it's time to get serious~"
'Crap, does she actually want to fight me?' He thought before unsheathing all three of his swords and held one in his mouth before closing his eye and stretched out his sense. 'I lost one eye, that doesn't mean I need to rely on my sight.'
"Don't worry Zoro-kyun, I promise not to hurt you too bad, just enough so I can get you back to our ship~" Purred Reiju as she came down towards the swordsman with her leg swinging towards him, but saw him raise his blades and narrowly block it, but was pushed back a little from the force behind it. 'Huh, so he DOES have power to back up his skill, good, very good, I can count the number of non-devil fruit users who can take that kick without being knocked back on one hand.' She thought as she swung her other leg at his head.
Zoro this time ducked and felt it brush against the top of his head before swinging his swords up, making her lean back and avoid them.
"Very good Zoro-kyun, my father will be happy to hear that my future husband is very strong~"
"I ain't getting married to a nutcase!"
"Good, because you're marrying me, not this nutcase you're talking about." She chuckled as she lunged towards him, getting ready for a roundhouse kick.
"THAT IS YOU!" He yelled out, looking like Nami briefly whenever she gets real mad, before lunging at her opening, away from her leg as he brought his swords towards her stomach. He made sure to use the blunt side of his blades, not wanting to actually Reiju. "Do you even realize I'm saying no to you or are you just delusional?"
"I'm not delusional, I'm in love~!"
"How are you in love, we met under an hour ago!"
"Love at first sight my dear Zoro-kyun!" She declared before she moved on her hands and started to spin her body around with her legs stretched out, turning into a tornado of pink that moved at Zoro.
'Is she a devil fruit user? Damn, I don't even know what this does, most of those idiots declare what their power does thirty seconds into a fight usually.' Thought Zoro who held his swords out and had to brace himself as the tornado clashed against the blades over and over. 'I will not yield, if I want to be the best swordsman in the world I will not lose to her!'
"Those swords of yours are truly powerful for such a powerful man! My father will love to find out what they're made of to duplicate for the rest of our men."
"Not happening, these swords are mine." He growled as he strained against the tornade.
"Very well, either way you will lose, if I did this correctly you've already lost." She said with a smile. "I'm quite confident you've already been poisoned~"
"Wait, poison?" He went wide eyed and pushed back at her strikes as she jumped back with a smirk. "What poison?"
"Oh, my bad, I never told you, my devil fruit is the black widow fruit, I can suck in any poison I want and make poison to use on others, and I've been using one that should make it impossible for you to move very soon~"
'Damn it!' He thought as he eyed her with a frown. 'Did she get some on me already? I don't feel any different right now.'
"It'll start working any minute, so you can either give up, or keep being stubborn."
"...stubborn." He spoke before he took off running, again. 'I need to get to the thousand sunny, if I collapse now I'll either get picked up by her, a bounty hunter, a slave auctioneer or even worse, the marines.'
"Suite yourself Zoro-kyun, you'll be within my arms again~!" She called as she took after him with a large grin.
'Crap crap crap, how far away is the ship, and where the hell am I right now?' He thought while he was currently running past a clothing distract.
"Huh? Zoro, is that you?"
'Wait, is that Nami? Ok, I can work with this.' He thought before skidding to a stop and rounded back to the woman holding some bags. "Nami! It's so good to see you."
"Yeah, you too, now hold these." She said as she hoisted the bags into his arms.
"W-Woman! Now is not the time for this crap!" He yelled out while dropping them. "I'm running from a complete nutball!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Oh Zoro-kyun, where are you~?"
"A woman whose chasing me and who is saying she's Sanji's sister!"
"Eh? Sanji has a sister?!" Nami called out in surprise, making Reiju turn towards them with a grin only to freeze when she saw Nami.
'Who is that, and why is he talking to her? I-Is she his lover?! Is that why he's being so stubborn?' She thought while slowly feeling another emotion bubbling inside, the opposite of what she felt for Zoro and slowly gained a dark look in her eyes. 'I don't like this feeling, it feels horrible, and I began to feel it when I saw them together, so to get rid of it I just have to get rid of her, right?'
"Yes! And she's more of a pervert than that shitty cook is."
"What? No way, that's impossible… hey, any chance she's that pink haired woman glaring at us?"
"I'm just gonna cut to the chase and say yes, and tell you to run!" He yelled before grabbing her arm and started dragging her.
"Hey! I still have my bags back there you made me drop! Those weren't cheap!"
"Oh like you even paid for those, we have bigger things to worry about!"
"You've been disloyal Zoro-kyun, you'll have to pay for that, you and that ginger bitch!" Roared out Reiju with a cold tone before she jumped into the air and came down towards them with her legs aimed out. Zoro moved quickly though and pulled Nami and himself out of the way before a pink beam that came out of her leg could hit them.
"What the hell?! What is wrong with you?!" Nami cried out in anger.
"You're what's wrong you man stealing slut!"
"What/! What the hell are you talking about, I haven't stolen anyone!"
"You stole my Zoro-kyun, you're the reason he won't stop running and accept me!"
"I told you she was nuts!"
"Die homewrecker!" Reiju cried as she lunged at them once more.
"Calm down, I am not involved with Zoro, we're just crewmates, the only thing I have over him is his massive debt he owes me!" She called out as they narrowly avoided her swipes.
"It's true! She's just a thief through and through!"
"Wait.. then she doesn't want you?" Reiju asked as the bad feeling she was feeling in her chest began to lessen.
"No! If anything she wants your brother!"
"Hey! Don't go spreading lies about me!"
"Oh Sanji-kun, can you go make me a drink, thank you! Does that sound familiar?" He asked as she looked away with a frown.
"What? He's just being nice."
"Oh Sanji-kun, could you go get me some of your finest beef? I feel like a full meal would make my day." Remarked Zoro trying to imitate Nami's voice.
"H-He's an amazing cook, shut up!"
"Oh Sanji-kun, could you come with me into town, I could use a handsome man like you to carry my bags." He said once more, making her groan.
"So… Zoro-kyun isn't your lover?"
"Nope, but she does have the hots for Nami." Remarked Zoro bluntly before Nami bonked him over the head.
"Shut up!"
"Oh…. well that's great then, let's go Zoro-kyun, let's go find a nice, quiet, isolated place to relax~"
"NOPE!" He yelled before bolting off, towards one of the clothing stores.
"Oh come on Zoro-kyun, it's rude to turn down a lady, especially a princess~" She called as she went after him.
Nami sighed in relief and went back to her bags. 'I'm gonna let him stew in his own muck for nearly getting me killed. I'm just glad Sanji's not THAT weird.' She thought before registering what she said. 'Wait, she's a princess? That means she's loaded, and if she's a princess that means Sanji is a...oh Sanji, you've been holding out on me~'
Zoro ran through the doors and saw numerous clothes racks and dove into the closest one. 'Ok, I wait for her to walk past me, then book it out of here, grab Nami and have her get me and the Thousand Sunny the fuck out of here.'
Reiju reached inside and looked around with a calculating gaze. 'Ok, he's obviously hiding in here somewhere, so I have to check everywhere while making sure I don't leave any exit out of my line of sight, this will be fun.'
Zoro himself heard the sound of footsteps walking by and held his breath. His heart began to beat harder as he saw a pair of legs stop in front of the rack he was hiding in. 'Crap, did she already find me? Well if she wants a fight she'll get one, I'm not going quietly into the night!' He saw the clothes slowly move and gripped his swords.
"No...no….come on, why do they never have the good stuff in my size?" Said a females voice, making him relax.
'Oh good, it's not Reiju.' He thought sighing in relief. 'For a second there I thought I was gonna traumatize someone.'
"Excuse me, have you seen a green haired man? He's my fiance and he's hiding in here somewhere." Came Reiju's voice making him grow on guard.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen any man like that coming in here."
"Well could you keep an eye out for him? We recently had a small fight so he's trying to get back by hiding from me, he could be anywhere, even in the rack of clothes."
"Well I'm sure that's not possible, you'd have to be a bit goofy to try and hide someplace where numerous people look at."
'...crap, he's not wrong.'
"Well, he is a bit goofy, do you mind helping me just check quick, I could make it worth your while, plus I doubt you want a grown man scaring any potential customers." She said with a smile as the worker nodded.
"Sure ma'am, let's get started."
'Crap, this is going downhill fast!' He thought hearing the footsteps spread around the spot he was. He saw some of the clothes get pushed apart and a confused employee staring at him in disbelief.
"Huh...well, I guess you were right ma'am, here he is."
"Zoro-kyun!"
"God damn it!" he shouted as he shoved the employee out of the way and began to book it to the exit, only for Reiju to tackle him to the ground halfway there. "Ah! Get off me!"
"No, I'm tired of you running away from me, it was fun in the beginning, but if you keep it up I might start thinking you don't want to be around me." She chuckled as she tightened her grip on him.
"No duh!" He yelled while she picked him up with a tight grip and looked around.
"Hmm...a clothing shop...maybe we should see if there's anything here that'll change your tune~" She cooed as he looked at her in confusion and frustration.
"What are you talking about you nutjob?"
"I mean, maybe you just need some incentive to understand why you should quit being shy. Maybe you need an idea on what you can have if you look. Time for a little clothes shopping." She chucked as she pulled herself up along with him.
"Oh hell no, I am not getting pulled into any crazy idea you have in your head, all I want to do is get back to my crew, leave this island and hopefully never run across you again!" He growled while trying to break out of her grip with brute force, but she just hugged tighter. He groaned in annoyance as she wrapped her legs around his waist as well, her grip on him like iron as she smirked victoriously at him.
"I got you now and I'm never going to let you go Zoro-kyun, never ever~"
"Uh, ma'am?"
"What, we're having a moment!" She snapped with a frown.
"I was just going to say, if you'd like, we have a special area reserved for 'risque' clothing." He spoke up nervously.
"Nope, I'm leaving." Said Zoro with a frown as Reiju lit up.
"That sounds perfect! Zoro-kyun, stop walking away!" She yelled as she grabbed the back of his clothes and yanked him back over. "Show us this area."
"Um, right this way, it's on the other side of this curtain." He spoke leading them over and pulled it open which showed half of the store that showed all manner of risque and revealing clothes and underwear.
"Oh yes, this will do nicely." She chuckled with a blush.
"I don't know what you're imagining woman, but forget it!" Growled Zoro who tried to cut his clothes, only to find himself pulled into a tight hug that kept him from using his swords.
"Oh Zoro-kyun, don't worry, I know my sizes by heart, so this won't take TOO long, once I get everything we need we can head back to the ship for a very special night~" She chuckled as he kept struggling to get free.
"Ma'am, would you like one of the store's employees for assistance?"
"Yes, my arms a bit occupied right now so I could use some help getting everything.
'God damn it, she can't keep me here like this for long!' Thought Zoro with a frown. 'I just have to keep struggling, I'll get free soon!'
(Later)
Zoro was growling behind some duck tape and tied up with it while he was sitting down while a figure in a black cloak stood by with a roll of it with a name tag that read 'Yui'.
"Now now, it's not nice to try and run out on your girlfriend buddy. Trust me, I should know."
'She's not my girlfriend you bastard, she's crazy!'
"Thank you for that, now my Zoro-kyun can't keep running away all foolishly like before~" Called Reiju in one of the changing rooms.
"No worries ma'am, just doing my job." Said the figure with a nod before hopping through a nearby portal.
'Damn it, where the fuck did he come from, and what is this stuff made of?!' Thought Zoro struggling before the curtain slid open.
"Oh Zoro-kyun, what do you think?"
"I think this is ridu….lous…" He started before trailing off as he saw Reiju in a pair of pink lace underwear and nothing else. His eyes widened and turned red while she winked.
"How do I look?"
"You… look good." He said as his face heated up.
"I knew it." She giggled before closing the curtain. "I'm gonna try something else too~"
'Damn it, I know she's insane, but she looks incredible, I can't just stay here watching her change, I need to get back to the ship and the others.' He thought while trying to bite at the duck tape.
"Zoro-kyun, I hope you like this next one, I was hoping I could wear it on our next date~" Came Reiju before the curtain opened to show her with a sleeveless pink dress that went over her knees. "So what do you thi- hey, are you trying to escape again?"
"Yes!" He cried as he kept tearing at the duct tape.
She frowned before walking over and reaffirmed the tape over his mouth. "Bad Zoro-kyun."
'Damn it!'
"They that again and I'll have to ask them for some chains to keep you in place, you're not even paying any attention to me!" She huffed. "Which means I'll have to try on something more daring."
'She was wearing underwear before, anymore daring and she'll be nude!' thought Zoro who waited a little bit before the curtains opened and he saw Reiju standing there in a trikini, making his eyes widen while she posed.
"There we go Zoro-kyun, now you have your eyes on me~" She winked while seeing him turn his head away quickly with a blush. "Oh, I think you liked what you saw, didn't you~?" She asked with a grin as she moved towards him before sitting down on his lap. "Let's hear what you have to say~" She chuckled as she peeled the piece of duct tape off his mouth.
'Crap! Too close!' He thought as she snuggled up to him, giving a content smile.
"Ah, you make a great seat Zoro-kyun~"
"Ugh, not you too, first Perona now you." He muttered with a small groan, making her stiffen like a board.
"What...was that?"
"Nothing, just remembering another crazy pink haired woman." He muttered with a small chuckle, not realizing the danger he was putting himself in.
"Another….woman?"
"Yeah, I spent two years with her when I was training, she was a cute obsessed nut, but she made a decent medic and patched me up when I would collapse."
"So...she saw you...naked?"
"She might have a few times, I was knocked out for a few days at a time." He said with a shrug. "She actually helped me get to this island and helped me get to my ship."
Reji growled and felt her eye twitched before going back in the changing room. "One second!"
"Yeah, like I can do anything but wait." He muttered with a frown.
'I knew Zoro-kyun was handsome, but I didn't think some other girl was THAT close to him!' She thought as she tore the swimsuit off. 'She's even stealing my look, trying to seduce him by looking like me!'
Zoro heard some grumbling and saw the curtain move a little which put him on edge. 'Maybe I should just close my eye, if I can't see her she might give up and let me go?' He wondered before closing it and kept hearing the sounds before hearing the curtain open up.
"What do you think Z-hey! Why are you closing your eye?"
"I got tired of looking so I'm going to take a nap."
"No! You open your eye right now!" She ordered making him feel nervous. "If you don't I'll make you!"
"No." He said, making her growl even louder. 'I have to stand my ground, no giving up!'
"Alright, you want to be like that? Then go ahead and take your nap, I'll just borrow those swords of yours."
"Good luck with that, they're under all this damn tape! If you want them you'll have to free me!"
Reiju growled before getting an idea and slowly smirked. "Actually, I know how to make you look."
'Don't respond Zoro, just ignore her and she'll go away eventually.' He thought in his head before he started to feel something climb on his lap making him gulp. 'Don't look, don't look, you'll just be giving her what she wants.'
"Come on Zoro-kyun, I know you wanna look, you can open your eye, it'll be ok~" She whispered into his ear.
"Ma'am, I have some more clothes for yo-WHY ARE YOU NAKED AND WHY IS THAT MAN TIED UP?!" Screamed an employee which made Zoro open his eye and go wide eyed when he saw she was stark naked with her chest rubbing against his own.
"Get out, we're having a moment!"
"She's keeping me here against my will!" He cried as he got a nose bleed. 'I have to get out of here!' He thought as he doubled his efforts to escape, the duct tape starting to yield to him and slowly break apart.
The employee groaned and facepalmed. "Not this shit again, they don't pay me enough for this." He muttered before pulling out a blowgun and fired a dart into Reiju's neck. "Sorry ma'am, but store policy says I have to knock you out for five minutes to let any captives get a head start on escaping."
"What?! Why you...no...fair." She groaned trying to stand up, but slowly fell down to the floor. "Zoro….kyun…."
"Wait, so NOW you're helping me?!"
"If it gets you and the naked woman out of here, then yes, we do not condone public nudity." He nodded before moving over with a knife and started cutting the tape. "I'd make sure you get far ahead, usually the ones who go this far tend to be persistent."
"Yeah, and this one is bat shit crazy." he muttered as he was freed. "Good luck dealing with her when she wakes up."
"I could say the same to you, now you better hurry." He urged as Zoro took off running and looked at the sleeping Reiju. 'Wow, usually the crazy ones aren't as stacked as this one. I better get a blanket.' He thought as we cut to Zoro running as fast as he could.
'Where's the ship, where's the ship, where's the ship?!' He thought as he tried to use the adrenaline to get his brain to remember the way. 'Grove one, I know the ship is there, but how do I get there, I can't get lost, I can't let the roads mislead me, if I do she might find me again!'
He skidded to a stop and looked at a man before cutting his way off. "Hey! I need your help!"
"Huh? What is it, what do you want?"
"Do you know where Grove one is, I need to get there immediately!"
"Uh...oh yeah! I think it's that way." He pointed in one direction.
"Thanks!"
'Wait a second.. Shit, I did it wrong, I pointed in the wrong direction!' The old man thought before seeing Zoro running in the opposite direction he pointed, heading towards Grove one. 'Huh, guess he has better sense than me, ah how I envy the young.'
'Ugh…. my head, why am I on the flo-ZORO-KYUN!' Thought Reiju who sprang to her feet and looked around. "Zoro-kyun!" She cried as she didn't see the green haired man. 'Damn it, he escaped, I have to go get him before he gets taken away by one of those skanks!'
"Excuse me ma'am, your clothes." Spoke the employee from before holding her her normal clothes.
"Shit, right, only Zoro-kyun can see me naked!" She cried as she snatched them and quickly put them on.
"Also, will you be wanting to purchase the clothes you took off the rack?"
"Augh, fine, here, this should cover it, have them sent to the giant snail in grove one!" She called as she tossed the worker a small bag.
"Ma'am, we don't do delivery, if you want the clothes you have to take them with you."
"GAH! FINE!" She growled. "Just tell me where Zoro-kyun went!"
"I dunno, I just saw him run out the door, it's not my job to keep track of your boyfriend." He replied blankly making her eye twitch. "If you start running you should be able to catch him.
"Augh! You are useless!" She groaned as she quickly gathered up all the clothes.
"Have a good day ma'am." He simply said as she rushed out of the store, a massive bag of clothes being dragged behind her. "Please come again."
"ZORO-KYUN!" Reiju cried, her voice echoing throughout the entire archipelago. "WHERE ARE YOU?!"
'Crap crap crap, she's awake, where's the shi- there, finally!' He thought as he saw the ship in the distance. 'Finally, I'm almost there!'
"ZORO-KYUN!" Called Reiju, her voice getting closer.
'Crap! If I try to run out in the open, she'll catch up in no time! I gotta run through another spot to throw her off.' He thought as he looked around before spotting a large building. 'There, I'll hide there for a bit before heading to the ship.' He ran to it and was suddenly stopped when he tried to run through the door.
"Hey! No free entry." Frowned the man standing there with his arms crossed. "If you wanna go in, you gotta buy a ticket like everyone else."
"Augh, damn it I don't have time, how much?!" He growled in annoyance.
"10 beri."
"Damn it, fine, here, now what is this place?" He muttered as he threw the money at the man.
"To the lover's movie, it starts in three minutes, so get inside."
'Of course it's that.' He thought as he shook his head before entering. 'Hopefully Reiju would never think to look for me in here.'
With said woman she was huffing and fuming while looking at every small space she saw. 'Where is he, where is he, where is my Zoro-kyun?!'
Anyone who saw her stayed clear since they didn't want to get on her bad side and because she looked like a deranged nutjob.
'Poor girl, she must have gone insane from the heat.'
'Some women go nuts over shopping it's like they'll die if they don't buy something expensive.'
'"Billy, stay away from her, she's dangerous!"
"Ok mommy."
'He can't hide forever!' She thought as she looked around desperately. 'I will find him, I know it!'
"Last call for tickets!"
'Huh? Tickets?' She thought before spotting the theater.
"Last call for tickets!"
"Tickets for what?" Reiju called as she made her way to the ticket seller.
"To the lover's movie, would you like a ticket?"
"Maybe, did a green haired man buy a ticket?"
"With three swords and one eye? Yup, not too long in fact."
"Really?! Is he inside right now?"
"Yeah, wh-"
"I'LL TAKE A TICKET RIGHT NOW!"
"Great that'll be 10 beri."
"Here, I'm coming Zoro-kyun!" She called as she quickly paid the man before racing in.
'Must have been his girlfriend he forgot.' He thought as Reiju raced in, looking around wildly.
'He's here, he's here and I'm gonna find him~' She thought while Zoro himself was sitting in one of the seats in the middle.
'Alright, time for a quick nap as Reiju runs herself tired trying to find me.' He thought with a grin a he leaned back and closed his eye. 'When I wake up I can see the ship, go right there and kick curly brow's ass for having a crazy sister.'
As he drifted off, Reiju entered the theater and looked around.
'Ok, where is he, I know he's in h- there he is, there's my Zoro-kyun!' she beamed and moved over through the seats before sitting next to him and plopped the bags down. "Oh Zoro-kyun~"
"Zzzzzz."
"Huh? Oh, you're sleeping...oh this can be fun, time for some cuddling~" She smiled before laying against his arm and held him close while nuzzling his cheek. 'This is nice, this is very nice, this almost makes up for running away from me~'
That's when the movie began to play with all the other couples there trying to get cozy and close.
'Ooo, and it's a romantic movie, how thoughtful Zoro-kyun~'
(Later)
Zoro himself kept snoring while in his sleep he had grabbed onto something beside him. 'Mmmm...a pillow? No, too big, am I on the Sunny and in a bed?' He grumbled and started to feel himself rouse when he heard what sounded like clapping. 'Ugh, wha, what's going o-oh, right, the movie, I guess it's over, but why are they clapping?'
"That was wonderful." Came a voice right beside him.
'Huh? Did I sit next to a random person?' He thought as his eye began to open. He let out a yawn and rubbed it. "What'd I miss?"
"You missed the movie Zoro-kyun, it was so romantic, I even got a few new ideas for us to try~"
His eye opened wide and slowly turned his head to see him holding a smiling Reiju right beside him. "No… no, no, no, this is some kind of nightmare, right?"
"Nope, it's a sweet dream~" She chuckled as she snuggled closer to him. "I'm so glad you're coming around, you even pulled me close so we can cuddle~"
"No, no no no, I was sleeping, it doesn't count, and I'm leaving!" He spoke before finding her moving on his lap to pin him with a sultry look.
"Aw come now, is that really necessary~?"
"Yes." He said as he stood up, making her yelp as she hit the ground. "Even if I wanted to stay the movies over, you don't stay when it's over."
"But I didn't get a chance to wake you up with a kiss~" She pouted as she tried to grab him as he booked it towards the door. "Hey, don't leave, we just got back together!"
"Never!"
"Get back here!" She cried as she grabbed her bags and took after him. "You can't leave, we need to get back to our ship!"
"We don't have a ship, I have mine and you have yours!" He yelled escaping the theater and going down the path using the remainder of his energy. 'Almost there, almost there, once I get there I can finally escape this hell island and this nutjob!'
"But I have so many outfits you need to see! Like a nurse, a teacher, a nurse teacher, all sorts of clothes that will have you drooling over me in no time!"
"You said nurse and teacher twice!" He cried as he began to get closer to the Sunny. "LUFFY! Get the ship ready, we have to get out of here!" He called before noticing a marine ship approaching the thousand sunny.
"It's a combo outfit!" She called before seeing the ship and felt annoyed. 'Damn it, first he's going to get on the wrong ship NOW the marines are here?! What the hell?!'
"LUFFY!"
"Zoro, finally, you're here, now let's get the fuck out of here now, my wife is trying to kidnap me!" Yelled Luffy in a panic with Zoro momentarily ignoring what he said before he jumped up onto the ship. "Franky! Get us out of here!"
"On it!" He called as he jumped off the side to get the coating activated.
"Luffy, how could you get married to such a beautiful woman?!" Sanji cried out in distraught.
"Not now Sanji!" He yelled back while Zoro tried to catch his breath.
"Yeah, shut up Shitty Cook, this is all your fault, why is your sister insane?!" Zoro muttered, making the blond freeze.
"My...sister? Reiju?"
"Yes! She's been chasing me ever since I got here!"
"...what?" He said in confusion.
"Zoro-kyun, I'm coming for you~" Reiju called as she ran as fast as she could as the ship began to slowly sink underwater as the coating took effect.
"Wait, Sanji has a sister?!" Cried out Usopp with wide eyes.
"Yeah, her names Reiju and she's as big a pervert as he is!" He yelled pointing to Sanji who looked stunned speechless. "She's more forward and love crazy than he ever could be!"
"Bu- that's not...that's not possible, my father took away her emotions…" He said as he fell to his knees.
"Then she's just crazy!"
"Luffy-kun, you will not escape Hina, Hina is your wife damn it!"
Luffy sighed and put a hand on Zoro's shoulder with a look of pity while somehow looking several times older, not counting the timeskip. "I understand what you're dealing with Zoro, I really do."
"Crazy pink haired woman?" He asked as Luffy nodded.
"Yep, and she somehow married me without me knowing or being awake."
"... that's rough buddy."
"Great, first it's you two, who's next? Sanji? Brook? Chopper?" Asked Usopp with dread.
"I don't wanna know, I really don't." Muttered Zoro as they managed to make it underwater right as Reiju and Hina reached the spot.
"Nooo! Come back to Hina damn it!"
"Zoro-kyun, this is playing dirty, you know I can't follow you, my snail isn't coated!" Called out Reiju while gritting her teeth and stamped on the ground, hard enough to form cracks. "You will pay for this Zoro-kyun, when I get my hands on you I will lock you up in my room so you can never leave me ever again!"
"That's just what Hina had in mind for her husband!" She said before making eye contact with Reiju. "Your husband is on that ship too, does that make you a pirate?"
"No, I'm Germa 66, but my Zoro-kyun is on there."
Hina's eyes widened before noticing the nearby ship with the sail which put her on edge. 'Oh you must be kidding Hina.'
"So… are you going to hurt my Zoro-kyun?"
"Well, he is a pirate...but he is also part of Luffy-kun's crew."
"So that's a yes?"
"Let's say no for now, now if you'll excuse me Hina, she has a husband to hunt down."
"And I have to get my Zoro-kyun back, no matter what." She said as they both nodded, an uneasy alliance created.
