Chapter 5. Knocking out festival

AN: This is what I would call, a succesful start. 200 People have visited my stories, now the only thing that should grow too would be commentary. I'm asking you, why can't you tell me what you think of mine story? It can't be that hard to say "Fucking hated it. Go back under your rock and learn how to write!" See, that wasn't too hard. Or if you want to make this world be better "Keep up the good work!" would be your option. Love, Rose!

"Rose, can we leave already?" Her sister didn't look up from her work as she said one word for answer. "Why?"

Fang took mock thinking pose. "Hmm... Maybe because I don't like to see dead bodies being roped from their possession."

Rose's head jerked up in surprise, hands not stopping in their search. "You don't?" Younger one sweatdropped at tone of genuine surprise, as if she heard about it for first time. "No, I do not like to see somebody disrespect dead ones."

Her companion head dropped back to look what her hands have fished out from man's pocket before throwing money to brown leather bag on her right hip."Oh, it's that respect thingie again. Really if you would just once let them go, you could have much more fun." Fang rolled her eyes at casual remark.

"I think you have mixed respect and morals together, sis." Black head pursued her bright red lips in thought before grinded. "What is difference between right and wrong?" Fang opened her mouth for answer, but no sound didn't came out as she understood how difficult it was explain to Rose.

So she closed her mouth and went back to silence that had been around for far long time for her bubbly personality. Only noise what they could hear, was coins clinking and little clothe shuffling as Rose's expert hands took everything removable and valuable away from dead officers that now littered floor.

After what felt like a hour, Rose finally sighed in satisfaction and stood up to flex her arms and legs.

Fang snapped out from her sleep as she heard Rose's joints pop loudly. She too stretched her arms, note to yourself, sleeping in ball was very uncomfortable to wake up from, and rubbed her eyes free from sleep sand.

She blinked as something thuded to her lap with distinctive metal hitting metal sound. Looking down, she saw Rose's money bag, it had chibi version of her threatening others with knife, so full it wouldn't close. Looking up with raised eyebrow, she saw Rose three inches away from her face, grinding like a madwoman she was. "If you want, go buy a ship." Fang's eyes shined with gratitude, smell had started to get unbearable, and she smiled as she stood up, money bag securely on her hand.

She turned to walk away, but hand on her shoulders stopped her. Looking over her shoulder, she saw Rose point towards her backpack, who leaned innocently to wall. "You may want to take that with you." Blushing little, she took it and again tried to turn, but again hand stopped her.

Curious what Rose had to say, she turned her head towards her. Blue eyed girl smirked in michivieous way as she spoke. "Try to find a boat that stays above water longer than last one did." Blushing harder, for embarrassment or anger, it was hard to say, but she didn't answer to Rose.

She rudely shoved hand away from her shoulders to keep moving. This time she reached to wall before Rose remembered anything new to say to her. "Hey Fang."

Her eye twitched, she really wanted to go already but she kept her here 'cause she knew how she wanted, no, graved to leave, sadistic. Wouldn't be first time. Taking calming breath, Fang turned yet again to look at smirking teen with blank look on her face. Smirk grew back to grin as she spoke.

"Just wanted to say that I heard your boyfriend is at our next destination," Fang blushed, this time for embarrassment, which caused Rose's eyes to get michivieous glint. "So buy condoms, I'm not going to give any if you two want to start baby making right there."

Fang's face was so red, even tomato would shame it's dull color. She stormed off, Rose's laughter companion angry stomping in empty halls.

"Stupid perverted sisters with their stupid minds..." Fang angrily kicked rock away, once she was out from now empty station. Taking calming breath, she focused on her mission. "Find a boat, right." She nobbed to herself and started to walk through busy streets, filled with children and adults like ways.

She sniffled at clean air mixed with different spices, smell of baked bread, fruits and flowers, completely different from smell of decaying body and blood she was forced to smell for hours.

Laughter from woman, children and men, shouts from marketers trying to sell their productions, joyfully talk all around her filled her silence accustomed ears.

A group of three boy and a dog ran next to her, making her almost lose her balance but she controlled her movements good enough to straighten up. She only smiled and laughed at group who only turned their head to say quick "Sorry!" running away from her sight at same time. Chuckling, she shaked her head, muttering lowly under her breath "Kids..." before continued her trek.

Greeting at everyone she had a pleasure to meet and turning down any sale offerings, she couldn't help but remember how it was ten years ago. 'I would always hide my gaze and follow Rose around, too shy to even speak a word to any other than her.

Rose, being oddly more social one as child, would greet anybody like they were her family. She would look at me, expecting me to introduce myself, but after third time she bluntly called me "shy sister of mine". I looked her like she was crazy, while men we were talking to chuckled uncomfortably and backed away in fear, stating they forgot something back home.'

She snorted at memory. 'Girl is 9 years old, yet had more reputation than some pirates. Well can't say I blame them, hearing mad killer has a sister would make anyone little wary. Heck, even I tried to run away from her as she told about her past. After first ten times, she showed how bad world could be if I would success in escaping, so I decided to stay with her.

Half a month later, she had rubbed herself in me so much I had progressed more with my shyness than in year with therapist. In afterthought, maybe I should thank her... Or maybe not, she would just put me in boot camp as thanks.' She sweatdropped at thought.

While she was in memory lane, her feet had walked her to backyard of one restaurant where she had eaten once and even worked for awhile. It was a shortcut to harbor, one of many they had explored when it was iffy to stay in one place too long.

She didn't actually see what she hit, but she defiantly felt when she crashed on something much more softer than pavement.

Blinking at sudden change from upside position to vertical, her somewhat dazed brain tried to place material she had fallen to. 'Soft yet little rough to touch, has an pattern on it, warm, has a heartbeat, cigarette?' She sniffled more deeply, trying to remember familiar scent. 'Yes, a cigarette, but with no flower as background. Olive oil, meat and... something alike love?' She finally opened her eyes to see who she had being sniffling.

Black backside of jacket and blonde short hair that she saw momentarily confused Fang, 'Rose went back for blonde?', until she saw broad shoulders of man. 'Oh it's just some man...'

She understood meaning of it after three seconds, making her jump up from him faster than one could blink. Pressing her back to brick wall, she steadied her breathing before walked back to man, who was still face on floor

. "Mister?" Man didn't react at her small voice. She tried to say it louder.

"Mister, are you alright?" She frowned when he stayed on his position. She poked his arm gently as she tried to wake him up.

"Mister" poke

"Mister" poke

"Mister" poke

"Snore"

She sighed, there was no way he wakes up in next few minutes if that snore she heard was any indication. Looking at sky, she calculated she had about two hour to spend before he will stand on his own legs and a hour for Rose to do all stuff she needed to do, so in sense, she was screwed. Slumping on ground, she tried to get comfortable position as she seemed to have time to kill. Taking her green backpack and fishing out book titled as '101. How to repair a ship. Tips and tricks to get your boat stop sinking.' she opened at first page, sent little prayer 'Don't let Rose go to killing spree.' before she started her watch hour over unconscious man.

On other side of town, tan greenhaired man was getting more and more agitated. He was wearing white shirt tucked into black pants that were kept up by green waistband. On his right, he had three katanas, looking ready to kill anybody who comes on their masters way. On same side, on his ear he had three gold earings. Dark green cloth was tied around his bicep. His green eyes twitched almost unnoticeably. Before him was shop he was to meet rest of his crew, but the problem was, they weren't there! He made sure he was at right place, there was even that same weapon shop that they promised to meet...Wait a moment.

They changed their meeting spot, he supposed to meet others at port! Growling, he turned around to walk away from useless shop, only to bump on grumbled and tried to continue his way but voice stopped him.

"Hey, grassbrain, didn't your mama teach you what to say when you almost light someone up?" Not caring about person, he bluntly said "No." before walked away. He heard a swish and turned around to catch knife sent to his way. He smirked at his opponent, who was glaring at him.

"You should do better than that." She snorted in very unlady like way before retorted to him. "If I wanted to do better then that, you would be on floor without any of your limbs, pretty boy." He lost his smirk at nickname and throwed blade back to her.

She caught it with her left hand and put it back to her before folded her hands under her breasts, pouting like a child at him. "You still haven't apologized."

He didn't listen her as he turned around and walked from slightly wet girl. "Hey, I'm talking to you, butterknife boy!" He kept walking on and not a second later, he felt her precense behind him. He tried to act like he didn't know she was tailing him, but after ten minutes of her silently staring at his back head, it started to get awkward.

He walked around corner and turned to look at his follower who kept walking to his chest. She stopped at there, face at same level as his nipples, and he dropped his head to look blankly at her. Slowly she lifted her head up, her eyes twinkling with enjoyment. "You gonna apologize with your body?" To prove her deal, she licked his nipples trough his shirt, getting spot at there looking like he breastfed a baby. He shivered at touch and pushed her a arm length away from him, his sour face losing its threatening because small blush on his cheeks.

"Why are you following me?" He growled out and got innocent face as answer. "Following?" She shifted her head as if she was lost puppy. He wasn't fooled, he saw a glint in her eyes that told she knew exactly what he ment. He hmp'ed at her and said. "Stop trying to be cute, you're not."

She rolled her eye at him, other one being under thick barrage that was called front hair. "Would you be shocked if I told you I wasn't trying?"

Seeing his deadpanned look, she pointed at him with her pointer finger. "You, mister negative, are boring." He couldn't help it, his eye twitched at insult but at least he had enough control not to outright kill girl. She suddenly got thinking pose, leaning her chin to her right palm while left arm was keeping right up.

"You know what, you remind me of this one pirate hunter that was captured by captain's son because he said back to him..." She didn't saw him stiffen as she was laughing. "To be captured because you talk back, I would have killed the son of bitch and begone with it. Stupid pirate hunter..." Mentioned pirate hunter almost didn't hear last part, but he did and he didn't like this girl, not a one drop. He was tempted to get away from her but when he tried to move his leg, he couldn't. Trying harder to move it, he scowled as it would be more successful to tickle a whale with a needle.

"Aww, is pretty boy stuck at place?" He shot a glare to her, which she countered with sunny grin. "What did you do?" He gritted out, annoyed at black haired girl. She didn't seem to hear him as she was observing his body. "Hmm... If you would stop using those katanas, then maybe you wouldn't be so easily recognized, Roronoro Zoro." She licked her lips, making him notice slightly bloodied theet raising more questions about girl.

"That picture of you so doesn't give enough respect to your muscles. Pity, really. If I have knew sooner, you would already be introduced to wonderful things like threesome and blowjob." From outside he was calm, but on inside he was questioning about what was a blowjob. He was knocked out from his thoughts as she started to take his shirt off.

"What are you doing?" She didn't look at him as she answered. "What does it look like, I'm taking your shirt off." She had got at half way before a yell interrupted her.

"Zooooorooooo! Wheeere aaare youuu?" Rose hastily put shirt back on him and escaped from street, shouting back to him "See you later, grassbrain!", leaving Zoro unable to move in alley. This time, it was Zoro who yelled. "Aaargh, I hate that girl!" His shout gave out his location, making those looking at him find him much easier.

It wasn't long wait to head of his captain peeked over corner, his frown turning to grin as he saw Zoro. "Shihi, I found him, Usopp!" Boy shouted so loud, everyone at village could hear him, before he walked to look at Zoro.

Boy had black short hair, just reaching his ears, and dark brown, almost black eyes. His face was other ways unblemished but under his left eye was a scar with stitches. He wore a red vest that shoved his lanky upper body and blue shorts that stopped at his knees, white fluff hiding helms of pants. Simple sandals adored his feet, giving his toes air and space to move. His signature hat was at his back, connected to string to keep straw hat from being blown away.

Teen raised curious eyebrow at Zoro's position, he was still paralyzed by that girl. "Zoro, what's that on your shirt? Looks like a water..." Green haired teen sighed. "It's nothing, Luffy." Luffy seemed about to argue but Zoro didn't have patience to deal with his simple minded captain, so he said. "It's nothing, really. Why were you looking at me?"

Luffy looked at him on confused manner, before he understood question. "Oh, Nami guessed you were gonna get lost, so she sent us to search for you!" He grinded at angry Zoro. "I didn't get lost! I have never got lost..."

Luffy stopped his mutterings as he remember something. "Oh, and Nami said you had to give bet money as coins." Green haired teen was about to say something but another male voice stopped him. "Ooh, you found him Luffy! Of course I could have done it faster by myself but Nami wanted to make sure you wouldn't wreck anything... This reminds me of time after I had defeated giant snail with my pinky. Do you want to hear it?" Luffy turned around, eyes sparkling with excitement and head nobbing so fast others would worry for his neck, while Zoro had his eyes promising to cut blabber mouths throat if he continued.

Boy in front of them had long nose and black, shoulder length, curling hair, part of it hid by green bandanna. He was tan, lanky and, to Zoro, weak, seeing he had none of muscles you could see on Zoro. He was clothed with green overalls and white sash in his midsection. On his left arm was white and blue stripped sweatband and on his head, over bandanna, was pair of goggles attached to some kind headband. On his feet was green boots that ended on his ankles. Yellow satchel bag hanged on his left side, with cloth it was attached to been slung over his right shoulder.

His cocky grin withered little seeing Zoro's dead eyes, turning to nervous one. "Maybe some other time, but now we need to get Zoro back to ship before going back to city to search for Sanji." Luffy pouted, for being denied of story, while Zoro's glare lessened, making long noised boy gain back his confidence.

"Come on, what are we still waiting for!" Luffy shouted, no more saddened, on top of his lungs and started to walk away from Zoro. Other boy followed his movements but turned around as he didn't hear third pair of footstep follow them.

Zoro was still on the same position, legs wide apart from each other, arms laying limply on his sides. Only thing that had changed was his face, it was now covered in sweat and look of annoyance was etched to it. "Umm... Zoro, are you coming?" He said trough gritted teeth. "I'm trying, Usopp. I'm trying."

Usopp looked confusedly at his companions unmoving body, until got horrified look as he connected the dots wrong. "You aren't able to walk anymore!?" Luffy turned around as he shouted at top of his lungs, pointing at green teen. Zoro's eye twitched and tried to say something, but was unable as other boy kept going.

"You lost your leg muscles and are now cursed to stay on that position for rest of your miserable life! You angried some god and they decided to show what would happen if you don't belive in them!" Usopp immediately went to his knees and prayed. "God and goddesses, I will belive on your strength and on your judgement. Please, do not make what happened to Zoro, happen to me..."

He would have continued but sudden snort above them interrupted him. "I have been called as an angel and as a demon, but never as goddess. Thanks for that!" While two other boy looked up in confusion, one, ex pirate hunter knew exactly who was talking. "You!"

It was Rose indeed, but why she had, "Nami!", slung over her shoulder?

AN: So, we have little bit of history of two of them, Fang knocks someone out and Rose meets Zoro. Hope I did some justice to his character, tell me if I didn't. Revive you must, thou shall want more of this. This is Rose, signing out!
