I don't really know what to do with this story anymore. I don't want to abandon it though, so don't worry. I'll get through it! Sorry, this chapters going to be really short, but better than not updating at all, right? I'm probably gonna take a long time updating each chapter since I'm still working on my other fic; The Ticking Time Bomb. Just warning you. Oh, and yes, I agree with one of the reviews about Zoro being pretty OOC last chapt. I realize that now. Whoops.

'Where is the shitty bastard?' thought Sanji, as he walked through the woods with Nami. When he thought about it, he didn't really care. He was with Nami without the other members of his idiot crew. Sanji smiled to himself.

"Let's try this way." said Nami, nodding her head to her left.

"Hai, Nami-swaaaaan!"

"This isn't the time for that Sanji-kun."

"Hai, Nami-swan."

They had been searching for about ten minutes without any sign of a green head. The woods were getting thicker and they were in danger of getting lost.

Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper weren't having any more luck than the other two. There was practically nothing in front of them. Chopper had been sniffing the air for any scent of Zoro for the past 45 minutes, while Usopp looked through his goggles. Since they were looking ahead of them and not down, they didn't realize what was under them until Usopp sneezed, causing his head to jerk downward.

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Usopp, and Chopper looked too. Under them was a pool of blood, oozing through the cracks in the road and running towards Usopp's shoe. Chopper sniffed it tentatively, but then nodded.

"It's Zoro's."

"Damn, why couldn't he stay put?" He rubbed his nose and jabbed his thumb towards the direction of the ship." We should go back to the ship. It's been an hour and we need to tell them what we found." Chopper nodded fervently and they hurriedly headed towards Merry.

The news of Zoro's blood came only slightly as a surprise. Nami had half expected something like that to happen, but cursed herself for letting the swordsman go anyway. Luffy was as angry as an captain would be at his nakama getting abducted, and proposed that they go get him, but this strategy was shot down because of the fact that they didn't know where he was. Obviously, this wasn't what Luffy wanted to hear. Chopper noted that he could only give a general direction of which way Zoro might be from the scent of the blood since there were so many strong scents hanging around.

His head felt heavy and he could hardly move. Only faint noises danced around his ears, and the ground under him was cold and hard. Slowly, he opened his eyes, blinking a couple of times before he could see clearly. He was in a small cell with no windows and thick bars closing off the opening in front of him. He tried to move his arm, but realized that his hands were handcuffed behind him. Foot steps echoed in his cell and they became gradually louder, obviously heading in his direction. A figure appeared on the other side, but he couldn't really see his face because of the lighting. The man spoke though, his voice smooth, but even sounded dangerous,

"Well, well. Look who we have here. Welcome to headquarters. I hope you like you're cell, Roronoa Zoro."
