Author's Note: Zoro x Tashigi fan fiction. I tried to maintain all the character's individual personalities. If you find a flaw please inform me. I have made a battle, which is not from the anime or manga, to set the scene.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or any of its characters. I just love to write about it!
Interrogation Room "Just the Beginning"
"Zoro please!" The twenty-some-odd Marine girl pleaded in annoyance.
"No!"
"If you just do your time then-" her words were cut off by Zoro slamming his hand down on a wooden table in the interrogation room of a newly built Marine Base. Tashigi cleared her throat and continued. "If you are so against doing your time in jail, then tell us where we can find the rest of the Straw Hat crew! Then maybe we can work something out."
The look on Zoro's face told her what she already knew. He wasn't going to tell anyone a thing about the infamous Straw Hat Pirates. At least she had one point of leverage, Wadou Ichimonji along with his other two swords. She had confiscated them after taking Roronoa Zoro into custody.
One may ask how did Tashigi get this lucky? Capturing a wanted criminal and getting three incredible named swords! Well the truth is that it really was luck. She had found Zoro passed out and bloody after once again assisting in the heroics to save another civilization from a ruthless dictatorship.
At that point in time the Straw Hat Pirates had been separated during the battle. Regrettably the people of Carafe were nothing like the residents of Coco Village, Alabaster, or Skypiea. In fact the people that lived in Carafe wanted nothing to do with pirates. After the fight was over they had the Marines come in and arrest who ever they could find. That came down to the Dictator, Count Abbr, his henchmen, and Zoro. That's how Sergeant Major Tashigi caught the great Roronoa Zoro. Although she would have much rather dueled with him until neither one of them could carry a blade.
"For the last time," Tashigi began to raise her voice.
Zoro interrupted her intense change in tone, " You mean for the last time today."
"Where are the Straw Hats?"
Zoro leaned back in his chair and kicked his bare feet up on to the table. He was dressed in a prison uniform, a pair of pale blue waders and a short sleeve shirt to match. On the left side of the chest and the back of the uniform was an inmate number. Zoro was inmate number 305198405. In addition to his new attire, Zoro was covered in bandages. His arms, legs, torso, and head had all received some sort of physical damage.
The green haired swordsman crossed his arms over his chest. Closing his eyes he lowered his head. Tashigi read his body language as a sign he was going to revile the location of his crew. Smugly Zoro opened his eyes again raising them to the waiting Sergeant. " I have no clue where they are."
Outraged Tashigi stood from where she had been sitting and punched Zoro with her right hand to the left side of his face. Afterwards she straightened her jacked and went to a snail-intercom that was on the table She picked up and spoke in to it. "305198405 is refusing to give us information at the moment. I need to have someone escort him back to his cell."
Not a minute later, two young male guards entered the interrogation room. They Saluted the Sergeant Major then chain and cuffed Zoro's legs and wrist. Zoro smirked at Tashigi " Nice right. But you should stick to swords."
One of the guards hit Zoro in the stomach with the butt of his gun, while the other did the same to Zoro's back. This caused the Samurai to flinch for a moment but it was nothing he couldn't cover up with an angry look. The two then forced Zoro to the room's exit and saluted Tashigi before they left the room.
After arriving back in his cell one of the guards gave a smart-ass smirk to Zoro. " You should feel lucky, Roronoa. The Sergeant likes you."
Zoro heard the bared gate squeak close behind him. He rolled his eyes and turned to face his escorts. "Really?" He tone was very sarcastic, "Well I wonder what she does to prisoners she hates."
"She has Smoker interrogate them," they laughed.
In her office Tashigi sat at her desk, elbows on the hard wood surface, her hands supporting her head as her fingers racked into her hair. In front of her was a stack of papers from a file marked Roronoa Zoro. In the file where documents of all his past, and current offences, wanted posters that ranged from his first to current reward status, pictures, and personal information.
"I have reviewed this file 10 times over. I should know the man almost as well as he knows himself." Tashigi moved one of her hands to the stack of papers and began to thumb through them.
" So why can't I get him to say anything?" She asked herself out loud.
"What? The pirate wont confesses?" Asked a deep even voice.
The young marine was startled at first that someone would have over heard her talking to herself. Then she realized that Smoker had entered her office while she had been lost in a world of thought. " Oh! Smoker-san," she stood and saluted sending the pile of papers tumbling about the room.
Tashigi scrambled to pick up the papers. Smoker assisted her stacking the few he gathered on to the sergeant's desk. " So nothing from Zoro yet?" He asked sliding into a chair.
Tashigi let out a short sigh. " No he wont tell us anything yet, but I'll make him talk. Then we can send the troops to get the rest of his shipmates." The navy haired girl picked up a photo of Zoro that was taken during one of his fights. "Wadou Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Yubashiri!" Turning to Smoker, Tashigi laid the picture on her desk and pushed it over to him. "I think I may have thought of a way to get him to talk."
