Chapter 3: Hood
Kuina twisted and turned in her bed, whimpering slightly, her mind paralyzed in fear as visions and voices clouded her mind. Her green hair covering her young face and her ponytail out naturally along her pillow. A tear streaming down her eye.
"Now I shall kill you with your own sword, Zoro. And then your sweet young daughter" a tall man said above a tied up man with long green hair flowing down his back with light spikes and bangs going down his face, also with a light spike. Sweat pouring down his face, his teeth clenched as he growled, his eyes in a tight glare.
"I...won't...let...you...kill...KUINA!" the green haired one said weakly in pain giving every word as much power as he could muster in his tiredness and pain as he tried to stretch his hand but it was tied up just like his feet and other hand. He was wearing a ragged long white shirt that was undone and a green sache and ragged black trousers.
"Oh dear Zoro. I've already killed your beautiful wife, Nami. Now I'll kill you and your daughter. Hmm...which sword shall I use? Wado, Kitetsu or Shuusui? Kitetsu, a cursed sword that usually kills its master, but that would be too predictable. Shuusui, given to you by Ryuuma to replace Yubashiri, no, it doesn't have enough value to you. Ooh, Wado, your oldest sword that belonged to your dear friend, Kuina. Hw funny, the same name as your daughter. Yes, I think I'll use this sword.
As he drove the sword into Zoro's chest, Zoro spurting out blood and gasping for air. A the sword was taken away, blood poured down, reddening his clothes and a sly grin appeared on his face "I guess you killed me" he said "but you're about to die to!"
"What?" the man demanded as he felt a knife to his neck, he kicked the owner in the groin before racing of. The one who owned the knife looked at Zoro. A hood and cape covering his face and body.
"You, thanks, can you do one thing for me before I die. I need you to give that sword that killed me to my daughter, or give it to Chopper but just get it to her somehow, please" Zoro said warily as his body started to feel limp and he took one final breath as his heart stopped with a small smile on his face as he died.
The hooded one took the sword and slowly started to evaporate in the air in a teleport.
Hood slowly walked up to a large wooden door in the middle of a cold, dark and wet street. He knocked on the door with a light but firm bang. As Chopper slowly opened the door saying "Who is it?" before looking at the man with complex at the man's style of dress. Then looked at what he was holding and looked at the man with a raised eyebrow "why do you have Zoro's sword?" he demanded.
"Zoro is dead and he wanted me to give this to you to give to his daughter, Kuina, I think her name was" the hooded man said.
"How old are you?" Chopper asked.
"I'm fourteen and how old are they?" the hooded one said.
"Kuina and Monki are nine" Chopper said slowly with surprise "why?"
"Because our future's lock together" he said as he slowly started to disappear into thin air.
Kuina raised and quickly looked around the room and then turned to Wado. She let out a sigh before getting out of bed and going outside her cabin room.
She went up to Nami's old mikan tree and sat beneath and started to think about things, resting her back on the three, in her left hand, a mikan fruit.
"I'm scared and lost...dad...mum...what do I do? I don't know if I should keep Wado as it killed my father or to keep it to remember him" she said quietly, a tear running down her cheek slowly, before water started to well up in both eyes.
"He he, so that's how he died, eh?" Chopper said with a grin as he walked up to her and sat next to her.
"Yeh, I saw it in a dream. I saw a hooded guy, who said 'our future's are locked together'. What does that mean?" Kuina asked as tears continued going down her face.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it has something to do with us becoming pirates, but how did he know?" Chopper said.
"Chopper, didn't Monki eat a cursed fruit?" Kuina asked.
"Yes, his father fed him it, the same one he had, so that he could protect himself. He ate the Mera Mera No Mi" Chopper replied with a light wink and smile.
"So, he ate one too then?" a familiar voice said as he stepped out in new clothes consisting of a one arm coverer robe then with the suit underneath with the jacket grey.
"Ah yes, Kuroi, the 'Black Panther' like it says in your name. So what did you eat and what did it give you to get that nickname?" Chopper asked.
"Yep, my name means 'black panther'. I ate the Neko Neko no mi, model: Panther, in which gave me the power to transform into a half man half cat panther, and so I got the nickname" Kuroi replied.
"Nice" Monki said appearing from behind Kuroi startling the life out of Kuroi, who jumped ad hit Monki by accident thinking it was an enemy. "Ow!" Monki said in anger.
"Sorry, I thought you were an enemy" Kuroi replied rubbing the black of his head.
Monki muttered something in reply when a bomb suddenly exploded into them. They all went flying over the ship that now had a massive hole in it. Kuina jumped up and raced into her room before coming out holding her two swords.
"Monki, what do we do?" Kuina asked as he tucked her swords into her belt before helping Chopper of who was considerably smaller than her.
"Why are you asking me?" Monki exclaimed in surprise.
"Because you're the captain!" Kuina replied.
"Oh yeah, we go and find out why they're shooting are us!" Monki replied as he jumped into one of the two side boats that had a cabin per boat "abandon ship, we'll have to use these!"
"What?!" Kuina exclaimed in anger.
"Just get in, we have to" Chopper said as he jumped in with Monki.
"Fine" Kuina said and she jumped into the other boat and Kuroi followed.
Then as they sailed a bomb came flying at Kuroi and Kuina's boat right at them and if it hit, they'd be goners, dead. And this was not going to miss, Kuina screamed. As the bomb came flying, dark energy started to flow around them and the bomb, threw the darkness a figure started to appear. The figure was now up to just below the waist and was wearinga hood and cape that covered the entire body. A hand came out from the cape and pointed to the bomb. It exploded into a trillion pieces, shattering into the water. As the rest of the figure appeared, it landed on Kuroi and Kuina's boat and turned to them.
"Hi" it said, and from the voice revealing it was a male."Glad to see you recieved Wado, miss Kuina" he then said.
"What do you-, you, you're the one that came too late to save my father but gave his sword to Chopper as his final wishes" Kuina said.
"Right you are" he said "I'm Hood."
Hood had not changed much from he and Chopper's previous meeting. He still wore a long black cloak that had a tint of purple, that had a hood that casted a shadow across his face so that you could only see his mouth and the tip of his nose. A minor change in his face form before was a light stubble around his mouth nose and up his chin from age as he was now twenty. Underneath the cloak was a blue shirt with a collar and a brown string belt.
"Hmm...I remember you" Chopper said rubbing his chin.
"Heh, I remember you too" Hood replied.
"Hey you, Hood guy, I want you to join my crew!" Monki then shouted, pointing his left index finger at him.
"He he, feisty like they say" Hood said "I'll join on one condition."
