Here is the seconded chapter for today Yay! Thank you for all the feedback and I hope you enjoy this chapter

Zoro was walking his face straight ahead looking for a place that sold ice cream. He would stop so Greycie could catch up every few minutes. She had been quiet since they left the boat and Zoro could guess it was because of the catching incident. Greycie was staring at the floor kicking rocks that were along the way.

They had been walking for a good thirty minutes and Zoro still hadn't found a damn ice cream shop. He looked at Greycie who looked miserable. Finally giving up he decided to ask a villager.
"Grey stay right here alright. I'm going to ask if anyone knows where an ice cream store is." Zoro ordered leaving Greycie against a wall and away from the walking path.

Greycie just nodded. Zoro sighed and walked across the path to talk to a villager.
"Hey do you guys have an ice cream shop"

The villager gave him a weird look before answering "Yeah its right there"
Zoro looked to see a store that said "ICE CREAM" in bold letters just a couple feet away. Zoro felt his face grow red and mumbled how the damn shop must've moved when he wasn't looking.

He looked for Greycie and realized how pack the village had got. The paths were now packed tight with people carrying bags or trying to sell items. Worry crept in him and he frantically looked for the child. When he finally spotted her he sighed in relief. He looked closer and as the people walked Greycie was now in his view. He felt his breath get stuck in his throat.

A man was talking to Greycie but he was to close making the child to look away uncomfortably. She was looking for him but was too scared to move. The man's eyes were going up and down as he gazed at the child's body. He was whispering something to Greycie and Zoro saw tears threatening to shed in her eyes. The man took one last look at the child and couldn't help himself as his tongue licked his lips hungrily.

His hand was going to touch the child when the next thing he knew he was on the ground with pain erupting in his face. He yelled in pain and tried to grab his gun. Pain surged through his hand as a foot crushed it. He looked up to see his attacker and felt his face pale.

In front of him was a demon with an over powering killing aura. The man tried to explain himself but a punch in the face stopped him. The man snarled at him calling him a pervert along with other insults.

So he liked little girls and wished to do adult things with them. Oh how he wanted that little girl. That tutu he wanted to rip off her and watch her body struggle against his body, oh he felt so powerful when he had captured his prey. He realized he wasn't thinking this he was actually saying it out loud.

He saw the horrified looks on the crowds' faces. But what made his blood run cold was the look on the demons face. He felt himself being picked up and a fist connected with his nose no doubt breaking it. He was thrown in the street with one last punch in the stomach. All the villagers began to sneer at him and a couple of ladies dug their heels in his skin. He turned to take on last look at the beautiful child before he fell unconscious. He deeply regretted he had lost his prey.

Zoro snatched Greycie and removed her from the crowd that was forming around the pervert. Greycie whimpered as she buried her face in Zoro's shirt.

After getting away from the scene he sat Greycie down and gently picked up her chin. Tears were on the brim of her eyes and she was having trouble to steady her breathing.

"Grey are you ok" Zoro asked his voice full of regret. Greycie shook her head as the tears started to spill.

"Grey what did he say to you" Zoro asked carefully. Greycie began to cry now and her tiny body began to shake with the sobs. Zoro picked her up and held her placing a hand on her head and waited till she calmed down. She let herself go as she sobbed into his shirt with a whimper every few minutes. The sobs quieted down and she picked herself out of Zoro's shirt. There was a huge wet spot on his shirt from his tears as Zoro patted her head.

She looked at Zoro and she felt another sob coming up. Zoro gently held her face and looking her in the eye and said very slowly "Breathe in and out"
He demonstrated for her and they were soon syncing in breaths.

"Better Grey" She nodded and looked down "He said-"
"Grey you don't have to say anything ok "Zoro interrupted. Greycie looked up with tears in her eyes but Zoro just breathed in which Greycie followed.

"He scared me Zoro, he made me remember-" She stopped and let her curls hide her face.
"Is it about the nightmare" Zoro pressed on carefully.

Greycie nodded and Zoro pressed her tightly against his chest."Grey you don't have to answer but has anyone ever" Zoro stopped and didn't know how to ask the question "Has anyone ever touched you when you didn't want them to"
Greycie sniffed and pressed her head against Zoro's chest. She shook her head and Zoro felt like a weight was lifted off his chest.

"No, just boys have never been nice to me" she looked up at Zoro with red puffy eyes and looked very tired.
"Zoro I don't want to talk anymore"

"Alright Grey let's go back to the ship" Zoro picked up Greycie and she rested her head on his shoulder. Zoro felt awkward but this time he didn't care. As they walked Zoro made sure to avoid the part of the village where that sick pervert was. He wanted to take Greycie to the ship right away. If only he could remember where the ship was.
