A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated much! But this series has not been abandoned…I just lack any inspiration to write more, but I've got it back now. I find that every so often, I would watch funny One Piece moments and then ideas come to me.,,
So, this short section is based on the anime episode 194, when the Skypiea Arc just finishes and the crew are falling down back to the ocean.
Chapter 13: Nightmare
It was not the first time that everyone had been so physically overwhelmed, but Zoro hadn't even been able to put up a proper fight.
Unable to move, Zoro looked towards the arc in the sky. Because he had failed, Zoro helplessly watched the battle between a self-proclaimed god and a rubber mortal. Lightning flashed above him and thunder rumbled through the air. He could feel it vibrating in the ground below-felt the static around him raise every hair on his skin, and for the first time in a long while, doubt rippled through the man.
The swordsman struggled to move, and he screamed although his words were drowned out by the sound of thunder.
"Look out! Oi!"
And just like that, as if breaking free from a spell, Zoro sat up. He smelled the familiar scent of the Merry-Go, felt the familiar wooden floorboards beneath him, and realized where he truly was.
Relief washed over him. "What?" Zoro yawned in disbelief, bleary eyed. "It was just a dream," he mumbled in relief and leaned back.
Being back on board could only mean one thing.
Safe.
Everyone was safe and through his crewmates' angry voices, Zoro focused on the tinkle of laughter that permeated the harsh calls, and fell back to sleep.
