Hello, back with another chapter!
SeerKing: I got scared there for a second, I thought I had ruined your story! She'll most likely learn how to use a sword first, Zoro will be kind enough to lend her one of his.
Let's begin!
When I had woken up the next morning, the sun was already up and somewhat shining. I already felt a throbbing headache pulsing in my head, and I groaned. When I had stood, I saw that neither Robin or Nami was in the room. 'Oh, jeez, how late did I sleep?' I slowly stood up, slowly trudging over to Nami's bed to put her blanket on it, her being nice enough to lend it to me again. I walked over to the door, opening it up and heading up to the deck. The weather was overcast, so it was a bit chilly. I walked to the kitchen, just to see if I had missed breakfast. When I opened up, everyone was in the middle of eating. They all turned their gazes to me, as I received many "Good-mornings." I smiled, replying back, and sat down in my seat. Sanji had walked over, and set my plate in front of me. "Eat up while it's still warm, Lisanna-swan." he smiled. "Thank you, Sanji." I replied, as he grinned wider, standing back. "Sanji, gimme seconds!" Luffy called out, mouth full of food. "Me too!" "Me three!" Chopper and Usopp called out. "You've already had seconds, idiots! Let everyone else eat!" he snapped at the three. "Meannnn." they all pouted, eating their food again, quickly forgetting about seconds. I couldn't help but giggle.
After breakfast, everyone went to do their own activities. I sat out on the deck, looking out at the ocean. I gripped the railing tighter than I probably should have, but I didn't care. I was trying to think of something for me to do, to be beneficial for the crew. I stared out at the ocean, thinking deeply. 'Well, what kind of fighting style do I like..? I'm not really good with fist to fist, so asking Luffy would be a no. And I don't have the Devil Fruit powers he has.. I do have somewhat strong legs, but Sanji would be too busy swooning over me.. I could try using a sword...' My gaze shifted up to the Crow's Nest, where Zoro was training. I frowned. I wouldn't even know how to ask him. He seems like he wants nothing to do with me... It'd be so awkward, but it's worth a shot!
I began to climb up the Crow's Nest ladder, and I didn't look down. If I did, I'd probably fall off, and that wouldn't end well.. I opened up the door leading into it, and I peaked my head in. I saw Zoro lifting inhumane weights, and he was sweating pretty bad. I almost lost my grip on the ladder, so I quickly ushered myself up into the nest, shutting the door as I got in. He noticed me, but didn't say anything as I stood there awkwardly. I shuffled my feet, keeping my hands behind my back, as I waited for a conversation to start. He didn't say anything, and I grew more nervous. Figuring I had to start the conversation, I looked back up at him, him making grunts every time lifted the weight up with one arm. The weight was huge... Anyways, I had to start talking. "U-Um... H-Hi.."
He raised a brow at me, setting the weight down, causing the floor to shake when he set it down. I prevented my mouth from opening in amazement. "Is there something you need?" he asked me, in his usual gruff voice. I looked at him, eyes wide a bit. I couldn't find my voice to talk, as I felt my palms getting sweaty. 'Come on you idiot! Just ask him already, it's not that hard!' I screamed at myself mentally, as I just stared at him. I couldn't find the voice to talk to him, which was making him a little annoyed. "Come on, spit it out already." he wiped his face with one of the towels he had grabbed. I bit my lip, calming myself down. I stared at him, which he stared back. "C-Could you t-t-teach me how.. how to use..a-a sword...?" I finally asked. 'Okay, maybe it was a little hard..'
He just stared at me for a moment, as if he was processing what I had just asked him. I feared that he was going to shoo me out, so I turned around. "N-Nevermind, I-I'll leave n-n-now..!" I bent down to open up the latch of the door. "You got any experience with a sword?" he asked, and I stopped, turning my head to him. I stood straight now, frowning as I shook my head. "N-No.. B-But I want to be useful..! T-To the crew..." I trailed off. He sighed, and scratched his head. then looked at me. "I guess I can. For now, you can borrow one of my swords." he walked over to them, and picked one up. My eyes widened. 'He's actually going to give me a sword?! I actually didn't expect him to give me one! Maybe he trusts me now..?' The thoughts rushed past my mind, as I watched him approach me with a sword. It was the one with a red sheath. He held it out to me, and I carefully took it from him.
He had the white sheathed one (Which I knew was Kuina's, but I could never really remember the swords names..) and unsheathed it. "Well then, let's get down to basics."
Done! I feel like Zoro was a bit OOC in this one, but oh well! Reviews are appreciated!
