Chapter Two: Nieve

He felt fear coursing through his veins, stabbing at his heart. This was the end. It had to be.

"Hey, Zoro…this is no time to be standing around talking! Quick!" He heard Usopp's voice warning him from behind. Would Usopp survive if he died at this very moment? He saw Barthoelmew Kuma slip his hand out of his glove.

"If you are going on a trip, where would you like to go?" He said in his soft-spoken voice. Those words sent terrible chills up Zoro's spine. His mind was racing. What would they do without him? How would Luffy become Pirate King now?

"Hey Zoro! Run away from here quickly!" Usopp said in a high-pitched voice. He shakily reached his hand out towards Zoro, never taking his eyes off of the tyrant.

Barthomelew raised his hand as if to bat a fly out of his face and swung it in Zoro's direction. This is the end!

Zoro awoke suddenly when he felt something wet dab gently against his wounds. Instinctively he grabbed their wrist and reached for his swords, relieved to see they were still there. He opened his eyes and saw the sixteen-year-old he had risked his life to save staring at him in surprise. Although Zoro wasn't the type to swoon over women, unlike a certain ero-cook, he had to admit she was beautiful. He could see her more clearly now.

She had slightly copper skin with big full lips and her hair was pulled back in a pony-tail with little tufts hanging on in each side of her face (A/N: Kind of like Yoruichi from Bleach) and even tied up her hair reached her mid-back. Her long eyelashes complimented her honey colored eyes and he was momentarily stunned when she greeted him with a fabulous smile.

"Congratulations, Zoro-sama! You're not dead!"

He grunted and let go of her. He looked around and realized he was in some kind of hut. It was small but cozy enough, as if it were made for one person's comfort.

"Who are you?" He grumbled to her. She smiled widely back.

"I'm the guardian of this island. I'm not sure whose it is but I'm also supposed to be guarding some pirates' treasure. They're mean folk, you know! They hit poor Nieve on the head and now I can't remember anything about why I'm on this island. Say, Zoro-sama, with all those wounds and big swords you kinda look like a pirate, too." Her smile seemed frozen in place.

"You're not a pirate…right?"

"………."

That's when Nieve remembered hearing about a fearsome pirate crew that recently been defeated by the powerful Barthelomew Kuma. Their fiercest crewmembers had been Monkey D. Luffy, a bloodthirsty rubberman, a demon child named Nico Robin, and…the terrifying swordsman Roranora Zoro. Uh-oh.

"AAAAH! What has Nieve done! How stupid of you to get involved with another ferocious pirate crew! Please don't kill me, Zoro-sama! I don't wanna die T_T!" Zoro jumped as Nieve wrapped her arms around his waist, tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Get off me, woman!"

"I hate pirates!"

"I don't care! Let go!"

"I can't!"

"Why the hell not?!"

"My arms fell asleep! Waah!"

"IDIOT! We're gonna fall—"

They tumbled onto the floor. Luckily Zoro's head broke the fall. There was silence for awhile. Then Nieve lifted her head and looked at Zoro with big sad eyes.

"Zoro-sama? Sniff Are you going to kill me?" She whimpered.

"I am definitely thinking about it!" He snapped. He peeled her off of him and stood up, quickly backing away.

"Look, I'm not going to kill you. I need to get off of this island. You're the guardian of it, right? You could show me the way."

"Why does Zoro-sama need to get off of this island?"

"I need to find my crew."

"…Nieve will help you."

"Eh? Really?" He looked doubtful.

"But you're going to have to trust me."

". . .Why should I trust you?"

"Because Nieve is your slave forever until she can repay you for saving her. It is the law of this island."

"Nani?! What's so special about this island?"

"They say a mystical dragon lives here."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I'm your only ticket out of here. I am the dragon that lives on this island and your are my master."

". . . . ?!"


So what do you think? I'll try to make it more interesting in later chapters. Luffy and the others will appear eventually, don't worry! Read and Review, thanks a bunch!
