The weather was terrifically sunny with lovely strong breeze. A perfect weather for a nap thought Zoro while stretching his back.

"Swish"

Without even thinking, Zoro dodge the blade that was aiming for his head. He quickly turn around to face the girl that is still holding the white crystal blade that just attacked him.

"Hey! What was that for?!" He shout at the girl but the girl kept silent while speeding up her momentum at swinging blades at him.

"That's it!" Zoro finally reach for his blades when the girl slice off a lock of his hair. There he stand all three swords ready but the girl just pick up the lock of hair and left.

"What is her problem?" murmured Zoro

Later that day

"Clip"

Zoro woke up in shock and almost attacked the girl that was squatting beside him but stop in time when he realize that she is just clipping his nails with a nail clipper. He had sense her presence beside him but wasn't expecting anything like that. Hell! Even his own mother had never cut his nails for him. She is very gentle and careful to not hurt him. Zoro look at her concentrated look and felt a slight tingle in his heart.

Slightly blushing, Zoro asked her " What are you doing?"

She look at him in the eye with a puzzled look for she had never heard him talk so gently before but she still kept silent and just took the fingernails and left.

"What the hell? Nami what is the woman's problem?"

Nami shrug in reply. She might be from the female species but that doesn't mean she will understand every single female species' strange behavior.

That night during dinner

Hmmm omelet for dinner today, her favorite. Zoro look left and right but didn't see the girl.

"Where is Xylia?"

"Probably still in her workshop." Answered Robin.

"Yup, she is in there whole day." Franky added on.

"I will go get her~~ She will love tonight's dinner~~"

"There is no need funny eyebrow. I am going." With that Zoro turned and walk out the door.

"Funny eyebrows you Mori-head! Why you—Nami san?" Sanji stop him yelling and turn to Nami that is tugging his shirt.

Nami turn to face the others at the dining table " Have you ever seen Zoro cared about whether other people have their dinner before? "

The whole crew shake their heads.

"This is going to be fun." Smirk Nami.

At the workshop

Zoro just open the door and a hot blast of air hit his face.

"Damn! It is so hot! How did she manage to not suffocate in here? We should get her some ice or -"

Zoro stood there speechless while staring at the girl that is only wear a tube and short pants. Her body is covered in dirt and sweat and Zoro found this incredibly sexy. He can feel his mouth dried up when he trace a drop of from her cheek to her neck then drip and disappeared between her breasts.

He would have lose control and pounce on her right there and then if she didn't turn around and broke into a dazzling smile.

"Zoro! What a coincidence! I was just about to get you!"

"I erm… dinner…." Zoro stare at the hand that is holding his while trying to find the words to say.

" This will be real quick." Before his brain can function, Xylia had already slice the palm of his hand and Zoro can see his blood dripping into the sword mold.

"What are you doing?" Surprising Xylia once again for Zoro do not sound angry but just curious.

" A great sword need a soul. So by putting your hair, fingernails and blood into it, you gave the sword a part of your soul. Now the bond between both of you will never be broken. Even if both of you are separated, you will find each other back one day."

Zoro look at Xylia and felt the tingle in his heart again. This time stronger.

" You are making me a sword." Not a question but a conclusion.

" Yes." Answered Xylia while cleaning up Zoro's wound.

"Why?"

"No reason. Just thinking you deserve a number one sword to be a number one swordsman."

The tingle became stronger.

"BANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

Zoro stared at her swinging hammer after hammer on the metal. How did such a little body like hers have so much power that it can even trigger him?

After a few hours

"It's done!" Xylia swing the sword playfully in front of Zoro.

It's a beautiful blade. Silver with blue craving running from the hilt to the end of the sword. The hilt is simple black with a single Sapphire decorating it. Zoro reach for it and found it surprising light despite that it is almost half of his height.

" I make it longer than your usual ones. From what you told me, Mihawk can slice a ship in half. I think half of it is because of his swordsmanship the other half should be due to his blade length. Because if the length of the sword is longer, the motion…."

Zoro tone out and keep staring at the pair of red lips that is open and closing. Like seducing him to kiss it.

He would have done it if Xylia did not suddenly pluck his hair.

"Ouch what is that for?!"

"Shut up and watch!"

Zoro mouth drop open when he see his hair got cut into half the moment it touch the blade. How sharp is this sword to manage to pull off something like that?

"Just like this and you are surprise? You are looking down on me sword making skills. Here take this failure, I am going to tell you how strong this blade is."

This is a failure? What the hell it look as good as the best katana in the market. While thinking that, Xylia had already swung the blade. With just one slice, the Daito that Zoro is holding got slice in half.

"So what are you going to name it?"

"Elen Galad, Starlight. "

"Elen Galad? What language is that?"

"I not really sure. It's my father's native tongue and as you know I am not sure where he is from but since he is the one that taught me sword making, I always name my swords in that language as a form of honoring him. So do you like that name?"

"Starlight is a pretty name but I don't see anything that resemble a star here. Is it the cravings?"

"Glad you asked. Come lets go outside."

Xylia is so happy and excited that she didn't notice Zoro returned her grasp tightly.

"Is a full moon! Perfect! Mina-san! You got to come out and see this!" shouted Xylia on the top of her lungs.

The moment the moonlight shine on the katana, Zoro saw is a star emerging from the middle of the deep blue sapphire.

"Is this why you name it Starlight?"

"Partly but not quite. Wait and see."

As the strawhat crew continue their stare, the blade's craving start to glow a shimmering blue and it is clear to see that it is surrounded by a white misty aura.

"Sugoi~~~~" Luffy start to reach for it in awe

"Wait Luffy!" Xylia tried to stop Luffy but its too late.

"Yeeeeohhhhhhhh" moan Luffy as he melt to a puddle of gooey mess.

"Sorry Luffy-san I should had told you earlier that this blade contain seastone. Now Zoro can cut any Devilfruit user! Sand! Smoke! Anything!"

"Sugei na!"

"Ms. Blacksmith good job."

"That isn't the most fascinating thing yet. Watch."

The entire crew stare in awe as the sword start to shrink to palm size.

"Tadah! It can change into an earring when you don't need it. Very convenient don't you think?"

Without thinking Xylia quickly unhook one of Zoro's earring and replace it with Starlight.

"Hehehe so Zoro do you like it?"

Zoro respond is to kiss her.
