Me no own One Piece X3
Zoro really didn't want to come here to the arcade. In fact, when Luffy wanted him to come, he was about to decline. But the younger boy had a nervous, almost scared, look in his eyes.
So now here he was, standing beside Luffy, who was in the middle of shooting poorly digital made zombies on an arcade machine with a plastic gun.
His yells of success for every time he killed a zombie would attract a lot of attention. Zoro didn't care about the stares. He was focused on the certain attention Luffy was getting from four kids in the corner from the other side of the room.
All of them in hoodies with the hoods over their heads hiding their faces, and about Zoro's age. They looked vaguely familiar but he just couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Whether he knew them or not he was still going to keep an eye on them. Because those stares they were giving Luffy did not go down with him. Sure he had just met the kid, so the way he was being so protective was kind of strange. But he just had this feeling, like Luffy needed him, needed his protection.
"Awww!" Luffy whined out. "Zoro, can you go get some more quarters from my backpack, it's over by the door."
Zoro looked over at the kids in the corner again. They seemed like they were waiting for something. Like an opportunity.
"No, I think we should go."
"Oh don't be such a stick in the mud Zoro. I'll go get them." Luffy grinned and ran off toward his backpack.
"Lu-" Zoro stopped talking when something glinted from across the room. He looked over and saw one of the kids pulling out a small gun from their jacket.
"Luffy!" Zoro yelled and ran toward the unaware teen.
Luffy turned to look at Zoro. 'What's his problem?' was all Luffy thought before he heard a loud bang and felt a big pain in his side. His eyes squinted then widened in realization as he started to fall backward.
"Luffy no!" Zoro rushed forward to the bleeding Luffy who was now choking on the blood coming from his mouth, while the red liquid started to form a puddle around him. The bullet must've hit something important.
The people screamed as they rushed out of the arcade, kicking over Luffy's bag and spilling his quarters everywhere.
Zoro held Luffy up a little in his arms as he glare at the hooded bastards. They walked past the two, the one in the front saying something before they left.
Zoro became enraged at what he heard. "He should've died in the park." kept ringing in his head before he finally knew who they were. The bullies from his school, also from the park.
Zoro picked Luffy up and ran to his car. Putting Luffy in the passenger side and then getting in and driving off to his house. He wasn't taking Luffy to the hospital. It was too far away, and they would want to find those guys.
But Zoro wanted to be the one to find them, and personally make them pay for what they did.
I'm a cat, I'm a cat. And I meow meow meow and I dance dance dan- sorry, it's stuck in my head. Anyway... Review please!
