Yo. thanks a lot for the reviews! You guys make my day! Keep it up! Here comes the next one...
Will Zoro find Shadow? And what will hapend?

Previosly on DD:

Nami heard it all about the letter. She wants to help Zoro to get Kuinas murderer.
Will they succed? Or will they die?

Zoro couldn't sleep. He laid in his hammock and listened to the others snorings. They all looked so peacefull. He sighned. Zoro pulled the cover away and walked out of the room. He leaned against the rail and looked out at the stars.
If he wasn't wrong, he would meet Shadow again tomorrow. No, today.
And this time he would'nt lose!
But something who was REALLY weird was Nami actions. Zoro could'nt accept it. Nami..helped him? And didn't want anything in return? Why would she ever help him like that? Did she felt sorry for him or...
He walked back to the boys room.

Why?

"Nani! We will change course? Why!"

They were all in the galley for breakfast. Luffy jaw fell to the ground and his eyes widden. Nami had told him the "news".
Usopp looked confused to.

"Yeah. Why should we change course? Are we not supposed to go to the Grand Line?"

"Er.."

Nami really wanted to tell them why, but she didn't want them to ask to much. Maybe they could accept why Zoro have to, but not why Nami wanted to help him so much. If he just capture that Shadow-guy, then it wouldn't the temporary change of the course matter anymore.

"Well..um.."

"I need to get my swords sharper." Zoro said from the floor.

"Who asked you? Sanji snapped and put down a plate with waffles on the table. "Yaaaay! Food!" Luffy and Usopp yelled and then they didn't care anymore.

"You interrupt Nami-san. Damn Marimo!"

"Who do you called Marimo, Magic eyebrow!"

"Nani!"

"Guys, guys, calm down!" Nami said. "I've got a small headache, and I don't want you to fight here."
Sanji got a large heart in his eye.

"Hai Nami-swan!"

"Oi! An island! I can see an island! An island! ISLAND!" Luffy screamed as loud as he could.
Nami gave him a smash in his head.

"Enough. We all heard the first one."

The crew were all gathering on the deck. They all observed the small island.
Nakodo-island. The island were Shadow probably was..

"Finally." Nami whispered and looked at Zoro.
"It seems that we all have business on this island, so what about if I guard the ship and when you're done, Sanji, you'll come back and then I can leave. Ok?"

They all nodded and disappear. Nami looked after the swordman until he also was gone.

"Be carefull, Zoro."

Zoro had no idea were to look. He walked in the town and looked around. Maybe at the bar...but it didn't looked like the guy were a drinker...And Zoro walked on, not sure if he would meet Shadow at all...
The time went.

Zoro had not the whole day, the crew were possible already back by now...

I'll just take a beer, then I'm done here...

Zoro was a bit disappointed when he walked towards the bar. He had not found Shadow, it didn't seem like he was here. He had already left..
The swordman waked up from his thoughts of a noise in the alley. What now? he thought and runned towards the noise. He stopped in front of five pirates, who didn't look freindly. One of them were holding a gun and shoot at someone. Zoro didn't saw their target, but when they all grinned, he know the bullet had hit it.
Before the pirate had time to shoot again Zoro showed up.

"Oi. What are you doing?" he asked as gently as he could.
They all looked surprised at him.

"Who are you?"

"My name is not important." Then Zoro's eyes fell on the person they've shoot. The youth laid in his own blood on the ground. He didn't move.

"Why did you shoot him?" Zoro asked, angry.
The pirate with the gun answered.

"No-one of your business!" He pulled the gun up.
The swordman slashed him. His body exploded in blood. They other looked shocked at their dead nakama.

"You bastard!" one of them yelled and they pulled out thier swords. Zoro put Kuinas sword in his mouth. They other already laid ready in his hands.

After a bloody but short fight Zoro pulled his sword down and walked to the youth. He fell to his knees and shooked him softly.

"Oi. Are you alive?"
He moved a bit, then cought. Blood driped out of his mouth. He grinned a bit.

"Never expect..to meet you at a place like this, Haramaki-san..."
When Zoro heard that voice again he nearly get a shock. His eyes widden.

"Sh-Shadow?"
Shadow cought again.

"No.. Your mothers sex-pet.."
Zoro grabbed the thief by his collar and pulled him up in the air. He shooked the boy hard.

"Don't you dare insult my mother again!" Zoro whispered between his teeths.
Shadow snorted.

"It was a joke. Please stop shooking, it hurts."

"Good!" Zoro released Shadow who fell down on the ground. It was then Zoro saw exacly HOW bloody he was.

"Three bullets?"

"No. Four."

"It's a miracle that you're still alive."
Shadow smiled.

"Maybe. Or maybe I'm just strong.."
He looked at Zoro.

"You're here to challenge me to a fight huh? Then I'll possible make you disappointed.."
He tried slowly to get on his feet, but a kick from Zoro stopped him from pull out the daggers.

"Not today." Zoro said when he fast tied the boy up. Shadow had lost to much blood to have power left to stop him. But when Zoro pulled the thief over his back and begun to walk back to the harbor, Shadow lifted his head a bit.

"Oi, asshole. Where are you taking me?"

"To our ship. You will follow us for a while.."
Shadow shrugged.

"Whatever. I 'm going to die now..."
Zoro walked faster.

"No. You will not."
Shadow laughed but stopped when blood came up.

"Don't think so. I don't want to owe you something, and besides, I've got four bullets in my body, and lost loads of blood. Of cource I'll die..."

"No. We'll save you."
He cought again.

"Would like to se you try." he said before his damages finally catched up him; blood flowded out of his mouth, he fainted, and Zoro thought it was time to hurry.

I like waffles...:D
