A/N: Warning: Character Death. Just thought you needed to know. XD

Disclaimer: ONE PIECE IS EIICHIRO ODA'S. GOT IT?

It just couldn't be real. It just couldn't.

As Sanji held the lifeless body of Zoro, he couldn't believe that the penultimate swordsman in the world was … dead. Felled by a mere gunshot that had taken him by surprise.

Tears fell down the cook's face. He drew the First Mate's body even closer, and planted a last, loving kiss, which seemed to last for all eternity. And, with a quiet sob, he gently placed Zoro's body down, and stood up. He didn't care about the blood staining his precious suits. He just cared about the soul that had just departed the world of the living.

"Rest in peace, Roronoa Zoro."
