I Don't Own One Piece

Flashback

The Straw Hats arrived on the island, where Zoro's old sensei lived. Zero was five years old, once they made it Zoro and Robin cried, Zero didn't understand until Zoro told him, he hugged them, cried and didn't want to let them go.

Zero: MAMA, PAPA PLEASE DON'T GO" Robin and Zoro hugged him back

Robin (sobbing): I know sweetie.. We don't want to leave you either, but we have to

Zero (crying): it's not fair. IT'S NOT FAIR" Zoro ruffled his son's hair and said "I know but you'll be ok, you're our son" Zoro broke from the hug, walked to his sensei, he looked back at Zero and Robin still crying and hugging

Zoro: you'll take care of him will you?

Koshiro: of course Zoro, like he was my own" Zoro nodded and said "one more thing" he reached for the other side of his waist from his other swords, took out a white sword, handed it to Koshiro and said "don't give this to him until he's ready ok" Koshiro nodded. Zoro walked back to his family, Robin looked into Zero's eyes still crying, while she was still crying, rubbed his cheek, kissed him on his forehead and said "I love you"

Zero: I love you too Mama" Zoro helped Robin up, Nami helped her back to the ship, as she cried. Zoro kneeled down to Zero and said "I know this is unfair Zero, but Koshiro will take of you, he'll make you a great swordsman just like he did me, ok?" Zero nodded

Zoro: Zero ok you promise me something

Zero: yes

Zoro: become stronger than me after you train and we'll meet again

Zero: I will" he hugged Zoro and said "I promise Papa" Zoro hugged him back as a tear drop from his eye, he broke the embrace and walked back to the ship. Zero watched them sail away with tears in his eyes with Koshiro, they headed back to the Isshin Dojo. It had been two days since The Straw Hats left Zero, he hadn't participate with the other students, he just kept to himself, later one night Koshiro sat down next to him

Koshiro: Zero I know it's been hard

Zero:..

Koshiro: let me tell you, when your father was a few years older than you when he came to my dojo, he was a good swordsman, he beat all the students even the teachers, but he couldn't beat my daughter Kuina" Zero's eyes widen a little and looked at Koshiro

Koshiro: it's true, I can't tell many times he challenged her, she was always beat him, one night was their last fight they used real swords, her Wado Ichimonji against his two katanas, she disarm him and won, the day after that Kuina died, she fell down the stairs while a sharpening block" Zero's eyes widen, his father never told him about that

Koshiro: after her funeral, your father came to me and begged me to give him Wado Ichimonji, so he could carryout their dream of becoming the Worlds Greatest Swordsman and I did" he looked at Zero and said "Zero your father didn't let Kuina's dead hold him back in fact it pushed him as you can see. Now you made your father a promise, are you gonna keep it?" Zero's eyes were covered, he got up, went to a sword stand, unsheathe a sword and said "I'm ready, lets do this" Koshiro smiled and nod. In little time Zero really accelerated in the dojo, defeated all the students younger and older than him, when he was 12 he fully mastered the three sword style just like his father, he saw the broadcast of his family, when he turn 16 he decided to leave the dojo

Koshiro: so you're leaving?

Zero: yea, figure its about time, I can't stronger fighting the same students over and over and beating them, plus Mikaela and my family are out there, I gotta found them"

Koshiro: I understand, oh but one more thing" he went to the dojo and got the sword Zoro gave him to give to Zero

Koshiro: your father wanted me to give this to you when your training was complete

Zero took the sword and said "a sword? Wait is this the same I wanted for my birthday that day? It is" he unsheathe the sword, the blade was gold acid and hilt of the sword was white and Zero said "whoa"

Koshiro: its called Lionheart, it is said the blade has soul of a legendary lion like beast and whoever wields it will be King of Beasts, he figured you should have it when you become a great swordsman" Zero smiled, sheathe the sword and striped it to his other two swords on his side. Zero and Koshiro shake hands, hugged

Koshiro: he'd be proud of you

Zero: thanks, for everything" Koshiro nodded and Zero walked off. Zero was out his our for a year, he became a infamous bounty hunter called the Hell Beast, he went to the New World in hopes find to Mikaela, his parents and the rest of the crew, but no luck. He went to an island, found Ubu the fire bounty beat him, him and Mikaela found each other and were taking Ubu to the Collection Office.

Flashback ended

Mikaela and Zero turn Ubu to the Collection Office, got the reward money and walked back to town

Mikaela: so Zero how long you been out here?

Zero: a year now

Mikaela: wow

Zero: yep how long you been out?

Mikaela: honestly I haven't too long left Amazon Lily, my boat got destroyed by some stupid Sea Kings

Zero: really than how you get here?

Mikaela: I flow" Zero gave her a confused look and said "uh?"

Mikaela: like this" she grew her wings and flow in a circle around Zero, to his amazement

Zero: you're a devil fruit user now, cool

Mikaela: thanks" she landed next to him

Zero: what else can you do?

Mikaela: this" she formed the staff in her hands, than changed it to a sword, than to a bow

Zero: awesome" she gave a big smile and said "thanks" she notice Zero's sword and said "hey Zero why is that sword different from your other two?"

Zero: oh it's called Lionheart, it was a gift from dad after him, mom and the others left. It's actually the same sword, I saw a wanted for my birthday too

Mikaela: really?

Zero: yea

Mikaela: cool, so you're looking for them too

Zero: of course aren't you?

Mikaela: uh yea" Zero smiled

Mikaela: hey Zero why don't we look for them together, I mean if you want-"

Zero: lets do it

Mikaela: really

Zero: yea" Mikaela smiled at him and he smiled back. As they were walking Zero noticed some guys staring at Mikaela with wolfish grins, they looked at Zero, saw him reach for his sword and backed off cowardly. Zero grabbed Mikaela's hand which cause her to blush

Mikaela: Zero what's wrong?

Zero: need to find you a clothing store

Mikaela: you mean that one right here" she pointed to the clothing store next to them. Zero sign and said "yea that one, you need to change"

Mikaela: what's wrong with what I'm wearing?

Zero (blushed a little): look can you do it for me

Mikaela: ok" they walked into the store, they saw a female employee

Employee: hello what can I do for you two today?

Zero: hi can you find her some clothes something a little bit better than what she's wearing now

Mikaela: hey!" she punched Zero in the arm

Employee: why of course we have a lot of clothes for your girlfriend" Mikaela and Zero's eyes widen, blushed and said "WE'RE NOT"

Employee: oh I'm sorry sometimes I jump to conclusions you two would make a cute couple" Mikaela and Zero looked away from each other, still blushing, Mikaela smiled a little

Employee: please this way" her and Mikaela walked to the back, while Zero stayed in the front leaning on the wall. It was a few hours until Mikaela found what she liked, once she did she walked in to Zero and said "well Zero what do you think?" she was wearing a white and orange robe with a yellow, red and white robe, and white boots. Zero was spun and said "you look nice"

Mikaela: thanks" they walked to the counter, Zero paid for the clothes and they walked out the store.

Zero: you hungry?

Mikaela: yea" they walked to a restaurant, ordered some food and started eating

Mikaela: hey Zero how did you get here?

Zero: I took the Sea Train

Mikaela: really

Zero: yea it was the only way to get out here from the East Blue

Mikaela: really, hey Zero the East Blue is here our parents met each other right?

Zero: yea

Mikaela: maybe they're their there

Zero: why would they be there, wouldn't they be somewhere in the New World

Mikaela: maybe, but maybe we can find people, they know who knows where they are, maybe we can find out more about our parents and I know you want to find out more about Auntie Robin

Zero: yea

Mikaela: and maybe we can find our own future crew mates along the way, like we always talked about when we were younger

Zero: yea, lets do it, lets go to the East Blue" they raised their drinks in the air and clank them together
