Chapter 2: A Fateful Meeting
Location: Outside of One piece University/College
There was a lot of noise filling the air as College and University students filled the area outside a decent sized building, which was very popular and known throughout the town as the best College to go to. It was called One piece University/College; that was known to take on anyone with a dream. It was founded by Gol D Roger, a man who wanted people to follow their dreams like he did, and that's how this college came to be.
It was a new year for these students which was why the college now has corridors full of busy students and teachers, trying to find their classes. Everyone was enjoying their new year at One piece, all except a young man that was standing at the front gate. Who was currently wearing black pants, tucked into black boots, a white shirt on his torso, a green haramaki around his stomach and waist, black bandana around his left forearm and three katana attached to it at his side. He had unusual moss green hair, three gold identical earrings in his left ear and a very noticeable scowl on his face. He wasn't very happy.
Standing next to him was his three friends, who were excited to start their new year at One piece. A blond headed guy with his fringe hanging down one side of his face and covering his eye, he also had weird curly eyebrows and a cigarette between his lips. He was wearing a full black suit, with a blue dress shirt underneath with a couple of buttons undone and a pair of black shoes.
The other guy next to him was a black haired boy with a big grin on his face, with a scar under his eye. He wore a red vest, blue shorts and sandals. Very ordinary and casual. But the only difference was that he had a straw hat on top of his head, which suited him quite well and define his look. Next to him was a skinny looking guy with a long nose, full lips and longish curly black haired covered in a olive green plaid bandana and sniper goggles. He also has a blue and white striped arm band on his left arm, brown overalls, a white sash and satchel.
"Why do i have to be held back. All i did was fail a couple exams and now i have to repeat every subject but with different teachers. Thank god, i don't want my ear to be nagged off by the teachers." Said the green haired man rolling his eyes at the memory of being lectured most of the time.
"Well shouldn't have fallen asleep in class, should you marimo?" came the blond haired guy's reply. Hearing his nickname that pissed him off soo much, he turned to his much hated rival and retorted "What you say dartbrow?"
"You heard me moss ball"
"Why don't you shut your mouth ero-cook"
They were both ready to start fighting, while blond guy raised his leg and green headed man pulled out a katana from his side that was still in it's sheath. They was about to lunge at each other, until straw hat started laughing his usual 'shishishi', "Zoro and Sanji are both so funny", he was saying while holding his stomach laughing too hard.
The long nosed friend raised an eyebrow then turned to him and said "Luffy there isn't anything funny about them two fighting, and on the first day back no less".
"They're just so funny...I'm hungry" exclaimed Luffy with a big grin on his face.
Zoro and Sanji stopped their fight and yelled at Luffy in unison "YOU HAD FOOD ON THE WAY HERE BAKA!".
Luffy just grinned and said "I also ate Usopp's breakfast along with mine this morning, and then i had a snack walking on the way to college with you guys shishishi"
Zoro, Usopp and Sanji sweat dropped and all thought the same thing 'Idiot, bottomless pit'.
Then Usopp realised something and said, "Hey Sanji why are you still attending One piece?, i thought you passed all your exams, and even got a A* certificate in cooking class"
"Well the old geezer said that a certificate isn't enough, and that a full degree would be proof enough that i can take over the All Blue restaurant. So i'm attending another year to finally get my degree." Came sanji's reply, while putting out his cigarette and shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Well i guess that makes sense. I'm only attending to get a degree in manufacturing and inventing, so i can open my gadget shop. I know Luffy wants to get a degree in…actually i don't know"
Luffy just grinned and said "I just want to pass before i decide what to do"
Zoro, Sanji and Usopp looked at Luffy with similar expressions - shock.
Luffy noticed and said "What?"
Zoro was the first to respond, "That actually sounded reasonable. Normally you act first without thinking"
"You can talk marimo, you do the exact same thing when it comes to a dual"
Zoro heard the remark and growled ready to start a fight until they heard the bell ring. They all started walking into the building to collect their schedules for the rest of the year, Zoro's schedule looked like this:
Home room - room 306
History - Miss Nico room 201
P.E - gym
Break
Swordsmanship - dojo
Science - room 127
Maths - room 185
Lunch
Music - room 50
English - Miss Alvida room 103
Home room
"It seems like we all have home room, P.E, science and music together. I have cooking, Usopp has design technology, Zoro has swordsmanship and Luffy has art. Wait why does Luffy have art?" asked sanji raising an eyebrow curiously.
"Who cares lets go to home room and see shanks again" said an over excited Luffy.
Once they got to home room they saw their familiar home room teacher that they had for a while, Red haired Shanks or or he likes to be called just Shanks. "Hey Shanks!" hyper Luffy said waving his arm about.
"Hey Luffy good to see you, watch where you're waving your arm otherwise you would 'accidently' use your devil fruit ability and hit someone in the face again." explained Shanks stopping Luffy from waving his hand.
"Yeah thanks alot Luffy" said Usopp remembering how Luffy hit him by accident by waving his arm so much that it stretched and collided with his face, albeit harshly.
"Sorry, shishishi." They all went to sit down at their desks that they had occupied for the last year or so, which were at the back of the class. Zoro and Luffy sat at the back, while Usopp and Sanji occupied the desk in front of them. They got marked in by Shanks, and listened to his speech about being back for another year, and that they should enjoy themselves and have fun. Then they spent the next 5 minutes talking about common stuff, such as 'what you did over summer break?', or 'what does your schedule say?'. Until the bell rang which signalled the end of home room, and the start of first lesson.
Zoro said goodbye to Luffy, Sanji and Usopp and said that they will meet up at lunch. Zoro made his way down the corridors to his first lesson history, with a new teacher who was starting on the same day. He made it to the classroom with a couple of wrong turns, but he made it nevertheless. Why do they change the rooms all the time?. He was lucky that the teacher hasn't even arrived yet, so he just took a seat near the back, put his head on the table and shut his eyes ready for a nap. The room was quite noisy with the other students piling into classroom and talking with each other. Not long after did he shut his eyes, the door opened and everyone quieted down. Zoro wondered why everyone was quiet and looked up, just to have a double look to see if he weren't seeing things.
Standing at the front of the class behind the teachers desk was a tall, slender woman with slightly tanned skin, defined nose, jet black hair and clear aqua blue eyes. She also had a mysterious smile on her face, she was young but also looked quite mature. She was quite beautiful, and she wore a lavender dress shirt with a couple buttons undone, dark purple trousers that hugged her curves and suited her quite nicely and dark purple heeled boots. She looked professional and casual all at the same time. It mesmerized Zoro, because he never thought that he could have this sort of attraction to a woman before, let alone his teacher. Sure she was attractive but there was something about her that also caught his attention, a sort of sad past in her eyes. He found himself wanting to know her more. He shook his head to clear those thoughts and watched as she wrote something on the board, her name Nico Robin.
After Robin finished writing her name on the board she faced the class, and began to speak "Hello everyone, my name is Nico Robin and i'm going to be your history teacher for the year. You can all call me Robin or if you prefer miss Robin, i don't mind either. As you all know i'm your history teacher, but i am also an archaeologist and i have a small research team not far from here that i study with from time to time. I hope that we could all get along, and i expect you to pass my class, and i will do all i can to help you."
All the guys in the room was drooling over how beautiful she was and saying comments about how she can teach them other things aswell. Zoro was so disgusted that he wanted to tear them to shreds for even thinking that.
Robin did a once over the class and noticed a green haired man amongst the other students. She didn't know why, but she felt a sort of attraction to the man. He was attractive and quite handsome, he also looked quite strong. Even she could see that, his muscles were easily seen through his shirt. She could even go as far as say she was getting turned on just by looking at him. She cleared her throat and looked away ready to start the lesson.
Zoro knew she was looking at him, but he shrugged it off and put his head down on the desk, and soon drifted off to sleep. He was awoken by the ring of the bell signalling the end of class. He sat up and noticed everyone already getting out of their seats to go to their next classes. Zoro was the last to leave, but just as he was about to step foot out the door he heard a calm, cool and feminine voice behind him.
" may i have a word with you for a minute please?" Nico Robin watched as he came walking over to her desk and cock an eyebrow as if asking 'what is it?'. She began talking anyway "I must ask you to not to fall asleep in my class again , otherwise you would fail and that wouldn't be good for you now would it?"
Zoro started to blush red for getting into trouble for falling asleep in his attractive history teachers class. "Sorry, i didn't get much sleep last night" came his mumbled apology.
"Don't worry apology accepted, just make sure that it doesn't happen again"as she spoke she stood up and came round the desk and urged him out the classroom, because another class was about to begin and he would be late. She gently placed her hand on his forearm and lead him towards the door. She was well aware that she could feel a strange electricity pulsing through her fingers from touching the young man that she was dangerously close to. Zoro also feels the same thing and they both lock eyes and think the same thought what is this strange feeling?.
Zoro didn't get a chance to voice his thoughts aloud, because the next class came strolling in and filling up the classroom. Zoro and Robin broke eye contact and stepped away from each other.
"Umm i better get to my next class i'll see you tomorrow." Zoro swiftly exited the classroom because he was seriously late to his next class.
Robin looked longingly at the empty space where the green haired man was just standing. I guess this was fate that brought us together. Am i seriously attracted to him that much. Is it love at first sight? Well this year is going to be interesting.
And that's the end of the second chapter. This ones longer than the first and i spent about three hours writing it. Well i hope you liked this chapter, and give me suggestions on how to improve. Please leave a review. This is Wolf signing off :)
