Title: The Mystery Eye

Characters/Pairing(s): Luffy, Zoro

(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Post Time Skip

While in the middle of his afternoon nap, Zoro twitched when he felt something touch his scarred eye. He ignored it, thinking it must've just been the wind. He got into a more comfortable position against the rail and snored away. Then, that feeling came back. He slightly opened his eye and saw the ends of blue shorts crouching down in front of him. Zoro sighed.

"Luffy, what are you-AH!" Zoro cried out when he felt a stabbing feeling on his scarred eye. He opened his eye and saw Luffy crouching down in front of him, holding a stick just before his other eye. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"I'm trying to see if I can get it to open." Luffy leaned forward to poke it again, until Zoro stopped him.

"ARE YOU STUPID?"

"No? Are you?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Zoro, why won't your eye open?"

"That's none of your business."

"Is your eyeball still in there?"

Zoro remained silent as he closed his eye and rested back on the railing. Luffy pouted when he didn't respond. He wanted to know and figure out this mystery so badly. He won't leave until he knows the truth behind it. Then, he came up with a brilliant idea.

Zoro screamed when Luffy attacked him, trying to forcibly open his scarred eye.

"OPEN!"

"GET OFF ME!"

"I JUST NEED TO SEE~!"

"NO!"

"I MUST KNOW!"

Zoro tightly held Luffy's wrist to prevent him from inching closer to his eye. He sighed heavily.

"Luffy?"

"Hm?"

"It's a mystery eye."

"A mystery eye?"

"Yes."

"…I understand. I'll leave you alone then."


In the latest episode, Zoro made a small reference to his scarred eye: How you don't have to see to able to fight... or something like that. I couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened to his eye. Right after solving Sanji's left eye mystery, we get another one about Zoro's eye.
