Set after the fight with the giants, when Zoro decides he'd cut his feet off to fight. Vivi has a word with Luffy.
*edited on July 15th because a reader pointed out a disruption in time lines. Thanks!
"Luffy, you have to talk to Zoro."
Vivi pulled her friend to the side as she urgently whispered. Luffy tilted his head as he answered
"Zoro said he's okay. There's nothing to worry about."
"That's not the problem," Vivi pressed. "Zoro tried to cut his own feet off. That can't be normal. He's too reckless and one day he's going to seriously hurt himself."
Luffy continued to look at her with a mildly puzzled glint in his brown eyes and Vivi felt her exasperation heighten by a notch. A leader was no leader if he couldn't watch out for his own and remind them of their limits when needed. Respecting Zoro's strength and battles was one thing, but standing by and watching Zoro potentially ruin his future with them was another. A pirate who couldn't keep up with his crew would only be left behind.
"If he lost his feet he would have bled out and died! Even if he didn't, he'd never be able to run! What are you going to do then?"
Luffy frowned, wondering why his friend was asking the obvious. The captain answered.
"I'd walk."
And wait for Zoro to catch up.
If you have any ideas for some more fluffy moments please don't hesitate to tell me! I want to write but I can't find anything to write about.
