The Deal
To Zoro, his eyes were filled with hatred.
This man had come too late.
Sanji was dead to the world.
To Luffy, his eyes were filled with grief.
To me, my eyes were probably filled with awe.
I had begun to believe that he was dead since I continually told myself that.
Obviously, I was so wrong.
I know being in the presence of a necromancer can be shocking, but also dangerous.
Necromancers are said to be completely unpredictable.
"What are you doing here?" Zion asked watching us closely, trying to read our next move like a book.
"We came for help but you didn't help us." Zoro snarled.
"I see you've brought the cursed girl," He regarded me with critical eyes. "What has happened?"
"The curse effected Straw Hats nakama," I pause, seeing him nod at inferring that Luffy was the captain, "And he was one of them."
"There's others I presume."
"Yes. All together there are nine members. Including Sanji over there, three of them were infected."
The way I said infected made me fill up with long forgotten sorrow.
I was infected with this curse of insanity.
But I was never meant to die because of the way of the curse.
I shook my head wildly.
It seemed to become a habit.
Zoro was completely silent in this point, trying to control his temper without lashing out everybody and everything.
Luffy could not hold back the tears any longer.
Zion and I are the only ones that seemed to have any kind of composer under the circumstances.
"I see that you care deeply about your friend." Zion said.
The captain nodded his eyes wide and the tears staining his cheeks.
"Does either of you know what the term necromancer means?"
Neither replied.
"It means in some cultures that I have the ability to raise the dead."
I watched in shock as Zoro laid Sanji down and unsheathed a sword.
"Do it. Now." His voice was very demanding. So this was the true Demon Pirate Hunter.
"I will. For a small price of course."
"Anything." Is it just me, or does Zoro seem desperate enough to give anything away?
"If I bring him back you must give me one of your cursed nakama."
I knew that Zoro would force himself to say no. I thought I knew him by now.
"Deal."
Apparently, I've been dead wrong all along about Roronoa Zoro.
