Thank you for all the feedback everyone they really motivate me. So alright here is the next chapter.

Zoro started to worry as the sun was setting and he still couldn't find the ship. Greycie was asleep now and Zoro regretted leaving her alone as now a whimper came every five minutes. He sighed. He really wanted nothing better to do than go find the pervert and castrate the sick bastard. He took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on the matter at hand. He looked up to see Greycie waking up.

"Hey Grey were almost there alright." Zoro lied.

"Zoro I'm hungry" Greycie said. Zoro cursed at how he forgot she hadn't eaten dinner. He saw a food stand that looked like it was still open. Not wanting to let Greycie walk by herself he walked over to the stand still carrying Greycie.

"Hey are you guys still open" Zoro asked

"No were closing, but we made an extra order of the deluxe plate if you want that." A worker replied. Zoro looked at the price and frowned. It was half of his spending money but when he heard Greycie's stomach rumble. He paid for the plate.

"Hey Grey hold the plate yeah" Zoro ordered. The little girl silently took the plate and Zoro walked until he stopped at a tree. He sat down and leaned against the trunk of the tree. He was going to move Greycie so they can be facing each other but she stiffened at the touch. Zoro sighed and left her in his lap. "Hey Grey does this look good to you" Zoro asked as he gazed at the food. The plate contained teriyaki chicken, beef, a pile of rice and some sautéed mushrooms.

Greycie looked at the plate and chose the teriyaki chicken. They ate in silence as finally their hunger was being fed. Zoro had to be careful because he had to reach for plate over Greycie's shoulder. Dropping food on her was the last thing he wanted to do. Greycie ate about half of the chicken and sighed as she put down her fork. Zoro finished the rest but stopped at the sautéed mushrooms. They had a strange aftertaste and after eating three he stopped. They sat comfortably as night began to fall. Greycie eyelids began to close as she lied on the swordsman's chest.
"Zoro" Greycie whispered

"Yeah Grey"

"Why are boys better than girls" She muttered

Zoro opened his eyes and looked down at the little girl who was picking at the grass. "Grey boys aren't better than boys why do think that."

"Cause girls are only good for sex" She replied bluntly

Zoro saw red and grabbed Greycie so they were facing each other. "Grey whoever told you that was sick in the head ok. That is not true and I never want you to hear you say that again. Understand"

Greycie had tears in her eyes and she shakily asked. "Are you mad at me Zoro"
Zoro sighed and embraced her "No Grey I'm not mad at you. I am mad at whoever said that to you. Listen the strongest person I knew was a girl. She was even stronger than me. So don't ever think girls are weak alright."

Greycie nodded burying herself in the swordsman's chest. He felt her shaking and feared she would start crying again.
"Hey Grey its ok I won't let anyone hurt you" Zoro tried to comfort her

"No Zoro I'm cold" Greycie said

"Oh well let's try to find the ship then."

Zoro got up and began to try to find the ship but when twenty minutes passed he was getting frustrated. Greycie got the chills and her teeth began to chatter. Shit Zoro muttered under his breath.
He saw a store was still open and in his luck it was a store that specialized in blankets.
"Hey what's your cheapest blanket you got here" Zoro asked

The lady turned and brought out two blankets that were on sale. Greycie turned so she can see them and she immediately scrunched her face at one of them. One was hot pink and one was...

"Zoro that one has the same color as your hair" Greycie said laughing as she pointed at the green blanket which had a marimo illustrated on it. Zoro sweat dropped and knew which one Greycie would buy. He sighed and asked the lady how much.
Zoro sighed again as buying the blanket would cost him all his spending money which he had hoped for spending it on sake.

Greycie got the chills and shivered at the feeling. Zoro rolled his eyes as he handed the money to the lady and wrapped Greycie in the blanket. Now warm Greycie took a look around her surroundings."Zoro go that way" Greycie said pointing to the right. Zoro looked and stopped to think what he should do.
"Zoro that way don't you see the water" Greycie said again.

Zoro looked and sure enough the shore was just around the corner. His face feeling flushed he walked around the corner and saw the thousand sunny at the docks.

As he made his way up to the deck he saw Robin who was staring at the night sky. She took one look at them and she sighed and walked over to them. Robin stroked Greycie's hair that was now asleep.
"Was she hurt" Robin finally asked
"No just another bad memory to add" Zoro replied sadly.
"Well let's just make sure we flush them with good memories" Robin said smiling.

She watched the two leave and her smile faded. The swordsman seemed a little off as he walked to the boys' room.
