Hello people and welcome to Chapter 2 of LIVE: IWAP (guest star: Zoro!)! As I said previously, this is my first fanfic. (Well, the first one I've actually completed -.-…). Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed it so far and will continue to like it!
Japanese glossary:
Arigatou: thank you
-san: a way of showing respect to a adult male
Oi: hey

"Hello again from LIVE: IWAP, Interviews With Animated People! I'm Constance Howards and before the break, we received a dose of the life that is the famous one piece pirate Roronoa Zoro! Keep watching as we continue to enter Zoro to uncover yet even more surprising facts about Zoro, the Mugiwara Crew, and possibly One Piece in general!"
"C'mon! Let's get this over with so I can leave!"
"So Zoro-san, is it true that you invented the sword-style, Santouryu?"
"Yep."
"Impressive."
"Heh. Arigatou."
"How long did it take you to master it?"
"Well, I trained in a dojo in Shitmotsuki Village for about a little over eight years. Of course, I still train, so there hasn't really been end to how long I've been trying to master Santouryu. It could take years."
"Hm...wow, you're really committed."
"Yes."
"And from what I've heard, not only are you committed to your sword style, you're also very loyal and dedicated to your crew members as well. Like when you sacrificed yourself for Luffy's while in Thriller Bark and when you risked your life to save your crewmate, Nami from Arlong in Arlong Park. I heard that you lost 5.6 liters of blood! Truly amazing!"
"Yeah, I mean, we're like family, they're basically all I have, so of course I'll protect them. Any day. Besides, Luffy saved my life so I returned the favor. "
"That's really cool."
"Yep."
"So Zoro-san, fans have wondered how you have been able to talk with a sword in your mouth. Eiichiro Oda-san says that it's the will of your heart , but from a scientific angle, people say that it's ventriloquism. What is it really?"
"Um..well, I dunno. I never really looked into it that much. All I know is that when I realized I could do it, I thought it was cool and moved on to my next moves. Huh, you guys look into these things WAY too much."
"Um...okay, I'm sure that probably wasn't the answer fans had in mind, but based on your other responses to these questions, I really shouldn't be surprised. Oh well, on to the next question, when you were fighting Kaku in Enies Lobby, you preformed this attack you called Asura.."
"Yeah? What about it?"
"How did you transform into this…being with 3 heads and 6 arms?"
"Huh? Being with 3 heads and 6 arms??? What the…how the…HUH?!"
"Yes Zoro, when you did that Asura attack, it appeared as if you were this being with 3 heads and 6 arms (with 9 swords) just like the Buddhist deity, Asura."
"Really? That's cool!!!"
"Yes I suppose, but how did you do it? Was it an illusion?"
"I BET THAT PANSY COULD NEVER PULL OFF SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"
"Uh-huh, well…"
"I mean I knew it was a powerful attack and had a great impact, but-"
"Um...Zoro…"
"Only a true swordsman could do something like that!"
"Um…yeah, but Zoro…"
"I wonder if Mihawk could create something as powerful as that!"
"Uh-huh…but what I think people would REALLY want to know is how you did it."
"Y'know he probably could, cuz he IS the World's Greatest Swordsman."
"ZORO!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"HOW DID YOU APPEAR AS IF YOU HAD 3 HEADS, 6 ARMS, AND 9 SWORDS!!!"
"Oi, oi, what's your problem?"
"JUST ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION MORON!!!"
"I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID IT!!! IT JUST HAPPENED!!! MY PRIORITY THEN WAS JUST DEFEATING KAKU AND GETTING THE STUPID KEY!!!"
"Ugh.."
"Is it time to go yet?"
(Constance glares at Zoro, but he doesn't care.)
"WELL?!"
"…Only 5 more minutes to go…" (THANK GOD!!! Thinks Constance)
"Alright, let's get this over with. Shoot away."
"Huh, considering the amount of time left, I think only a few more question are necessary. What is it like to be on the brink of death. It seems like in every major fight, you were close to death."
"I can't describe it. It's like time is slowed down and you have flashbacks and you feel really weak, but surprisingly calm. Or maybe that's just me."
"Really? Wow. So you've never seen 'the light'?"
"I don't really remember. But it feels good to be alive. Heh."
"Okay, two more questions and then we're done."
"Yes!" (smiles his big cute Zoro-grin)
"So, why do you sleep so much? Are you that tired? Or perhaps you have some sleeping disorder or REM sleep. I mean, you're the 'first mate' yet in still most of the time you're just sleeping or training while everyone else on board is doing something productive."
"Sleeping is good for the body and the mind, plus I rest up to save energy. Haven't you noticed that I'm always saving everyone? Well I need a lot of energy to do that! Also, I sometimes stay up at the crow's nest and keep lookout."
"Oh, ok, well that makes sense…I think…Last question: Are you really fascinated by sushi? I heard that someone had previously asked you this before and while you denied it, Oda-san said you were 'shaken up'." (uproar from the crowd)
"HUH? HUH? NANI? I…It's…IT'S NOT TRUE! I JUST NEVER TASTED IT ALRIGHT! That's all there is to it!! Time's up right? Alright let me go. My crew needs me!"
"Okay, okay. Just one more thing…"
"NANI? What is it?!"
"Before you go, what advice would you give to people who are trying to achieve their goals?"
"Huh…well the only thing I can tell you is to never give up, have confidence, don't let other people's opinions stop you and sleep as much as you can."
"Thank you Zoro."
"Yeah sure whatever. I can leave now right?"
"Yep."
"YES!" (Zoro gets up and runs off.)
"Um…Zoro…the exits to your left." (laughter from the audience)
"I did go to my left." (points to the right)
"Then go to your other left." (more laughter)
(Zoro blushing and cursing under his breath runs off to his "other" left to the exit and leaves.)
"Heh-heh. Well there you have it! Thank you Roronoa Zoro for coming and answering our questions. I'm Constance Howards from LIVE: IWAP and I hope you enjoyed tonight's show! Drive safely and see you all next week when we interview Homer Simpson!" (round of applause and a lot of cheering from the audience)
(Backstage after the audience has left.)
"Wow Constance you did great!"
"Thanks. Um…Jerry?" (A/N: I didn't mention this in chapter 1, but Jerry is the guy from the first chapter who told Constance that Porky Pig cancelled and told her about Zoro.)
"Yeah?"
"Is everyone in that show, One Piece like Zoro?"
"No, actually, he's one of the mature ones. There are a lot of people crazier than him!"
"Well. That settles it then. Never bring me someone from One Piece again."
"But…Aren't you used to this sort of thing? I mean, you interview cartoon and anime characters for a living."
"Didn't you hear me? Never. Again." (Constance glares her glare similar to Nami's angry glare)
"Y-yes ma'am." (Jerry sweat drops)

Well that's it! I know it was shorter than the first chapter and most of it was Zoro and Constance arguing. I also know that I didn't really put in questions about One Piece or the Mugiwara Crew, in either chapters, but…I hope you guys still enjoyed it. Please RxR and until next time!
