Chapter 2: Chopper's P.O.V
I have no clue where he came from. All that I know is that for a moment Zoro vanished from sight completely. Next thing I knew, He was in front of me, facial expression completly unreadle,eyes shadowed, arms spread and swords sheathed as two of the wolves bit down into his flesh, one on his shoulder and the other wrapped his jaws around his left leg, his blood spilling everywhere. What now? Nami said to me to look after him and i've failed. Yet again, Zoro has protected me instead of the other way round and with his body! of all the things in the world! He's been bitten twice, its bad enough he already has multiple gashes and a head wounde from when they suprised us and launched him mercilessly into a tree.
I can only stand and stare horrified as blood pours from shoulder as he sinks to his knees, his leg giving way under his weight. Time itself has ground to a halt as his sheathed word slips out of his hands. If I remember correctly he said that it was named Wado Ichimonji, it represents a promise to a dear friend, he would never drop something like that willingly! The pure white sword had been sheathed, why?
If i remember correctly, Zoro said to me that the last time he did that, it was because he had been defeated by Hawk-eye Mihawk. Thats when he got that huge scar across his body. Does that mean he knew what he was doing?
As I saw Zoro fall to his knees, blood dripping from his shoulder and down his arm, and yet more creating a puddle on the floor from his leg and blood is oozing from them The black bandana slipping down from his arm and he sank to the ground.
My rage has started to consume me as Zoro hit the ground, i wasn't even this angry when Dr Hiruluk died at the hands of Wapol and his men. The wolves are now advancing towards the man who became injured saving my life, Snarling and drooling as they slowly stalk towards him. Ready to claim their prize and rip him apart like some over-sized chew toy. I cannot lose my Friend!
Someone is screaming in anger, I think it's me, but I don't know, the sound is so distant i'm not so sure. I ignore the sound and run towards the savage monsters in my heavy point, rumble balls in my bag ready to go. I don't need them. I quickly reach the wolves and start smashing them out of my path; nothing's going to stop me from getting to Zoro! Some of the wolves are cowering, understanding that they've got themselves into a situation they can't handle and they may die if they continue to advance further. One or two of them are even apologising telling me how hungry they are. I don't care. I don't have the heart to hurt them no matter how angry I am, I have bigger concerns. The other wolves that are still advancing are a different matter and I launch them into trees and in other directions, their necks and spines snapping audibly, death and paralysis is a mercy for them. Now that all the werewolves are either dead or fleeing, I grab my patient and run as fast as I can towards the Thousand Sunny. What are the others going to say about this? How are Luffy and Nami going to react? But most importantly:
Where were they when we needed them the most?
