Chapter Text
Where am I? Zorro wondered after looking around for what felt like an eternity. He was just with his crew and fought Bartholomew Kuma and now? Now he was hurt on a godforsaken island.
What should I do now? Where are the others? The green-haired swordsman asked questions after questions and kept walking. He didn't notice that he was running in circles as usual, but he didn't need that either because he suddenly heard a scream. Who was that!?
When he got there where he heard the scream, he saw a pink-haired girl. Isn't that...
She sat on the floor and looked scared on the floor. Instead of speaking to Zorro or asking why she was screaming, he tried to remember who she was. Everyone in his crew knew his memory wasn't really good, so he gave up and sighed.
"Hey!" he called to her. She started back and stared at him for a few seconds. She probably recognized him because she got up quickly and went into a fighting stance. "Roronoa Zorro?! What are you doing here?"
With a sigh, he scratched his head and told her what happened before he was suddenly on this island. Perona, that was her name quickly understood what he meant and told him that exactly the same thing happened to her.
"I see... And what are you still doing here?" asked Zorro Perona. "Please?! I tried everything to get away from here, but there is not a single bott or people here! There is only one abandoned castle and I settled there. And- HEY!" she screamed when she saw him tip over. "Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you? Ah! Why are you so hurt?"
Before he could answer her, he lost consciousness.
"What's wrong with him? But what should I do with him now... Although I'm actually lucky that I finally have someone to speak to..." she said to herself and decided to help him.
...
"Arrgh! How heavy is this damn bastard?! Why does he have so many muscles!?" Perona growled as she threw the swordsman on an empty bed. As a precaution, she took his 3 swords away from him. After she had bandaged him, she sat down on a chair next to him and she looked at his face. He is really cute... Ahh what do I think?! Damn it...
2 hours later...
Zorro slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room where he was lying. Where am I? he wondered, then felt something on his hand. He looked down and saw a pink-haired girl sleeping and his hand sitting on the floor, clinging.
He quickly tried to pull his hand away, but she just didn't want to let go. Did he want that at all? Did he want to let go of her hand at all? Her hand feels good somehow... I wonder why... he asked himself and just lay down again. I wonder what happened to the others... Ah! That's right! I have to get out of here right now!
He shook Perona's hand hastily and stood up. He took a few steps but immediately started spitting blood and fell to the floor. "Huh? You're finally- Ahh! What are you doing you fucking idiot?!" yelled Perona, who had just woken up.
"I have to... to the others!" he growled under his breath. He tried to get up again, but this time it didn't happen because a ghost ran through him. "My life is worth less than a tomato..."
"Horororo! What the fuck are you doing there ?! You're hurt! And besides... your friends are probably already away from the Sabaody archipelago... So you stay here with me and you are my friend"
"What?! I have to-" before he could finish speaking, he spat blood again. Perona ran over to him and pulled him back into bed. "You stay here! And I don't care what you want!" she ordered him and stomped out of the room.
She is right... I have to relax first and then I will go straight away. Luffy... friends.. I hope you are well...
Zorro calmed down and fell asleep again. Meanwhile Perona ran back to her room and got her teddy bear with which she always cuddled. She picked him up and headed back to Zorro's room. When she entered his room she saw that he was still lying in his bed. Fortunately, she thought and sat down next to him again. As she stared at his face again, Perona remembered what she had done before falling asleep next to him. Damn it! I held his hand! Did he see that? Ahhh what am I talking about?! Of course he saw that! This is embarrassing now...
Some time later...
Zorro slowly but surely opened his eyes and all memories that have happened recently. "So you're awake! It was about time!" he heard a voice from the door now. Perona stood there with a dirty smile. "How long have I slept?" Zorro asked, yawning as he scrambled to his feet. "2 days."
"2 ... days ... WHAT !?"
He jumped up immediately and looked for his swords. Still with pain in his stomach, he now turns to Perona. "Where are my swords !?"
"There." she pointed to the closet. She didn't really want to let him go, but he wouldn't make it far anyway.
He grabbed his swords and ran out of the room. Perona stopped and was about to follow him until he was standing in front of her again. "Where's the exit!?"
Is he serious? The exit is right next door...
She shows him the exit and watched him run into the forest. A few minutes later she heard the baboons screaming. I hope he doesn't defeat them... she sighed and ran back to the castle.
...
A day has passed and Zorro has not yet returned. He's probably already dead... Haa... I think I'll check it out!
Perona went outside and found the green-haired man just outside the entrance. But he wasn't alone. It was worn by a man Perona knew too well. She knew him because Moria-sama already showed her a picture of him.
...
Where am I? Zorro wondered - again. I was just fighting those damn baboons... and they were really stubborn. He slowly opened his eyes again and looked around in the same room in which he was lying last time.
"Roronoa... So you're finally awake..." said a male voice. Zorro heard this voice only once, but he recognized it immediately. Mihawk !?
"I was wondering why the straw hat was alone on the battlefield, but now..."
"What? Where's Luffy!?"
Mihawk slowly explained to Zorro exactly what happened. Zorro was shocked by what happened to Ace. Luffy...
Now he had to see Luffy. He was about to start running, but Mihawk suddenly put a leaf in front of him. Zorro took it off curiously and grinned when he saw what was on the newspaper.
"Mihawk..." "Hmm?"
Zorro got up and went to his knees. "Mihawk! Please train me!" he begged him.
Mihawk was a little surprised at first, but then grinned. He was pretty shocked that he threw away his pride just to be trained by him.
"Sure."
...
Meanwhile 1 week has passed since Zorro and Mihawk. As it turns out, this castle was actually Mihawk's castle. Perona was pretty happy that she finally had someone to talk to. She waited until the two came back from training to treat Zorro or made everyone food. She had been really happy for a long time.
Again she made her way to Zorro's room to see what he was doing. She did that every day because she just enjoyed watching him stare stupidly into the void. Once again she opened the door a crack and peeked in. He was sitting cross-legged on his bed with his eyes closed.
"What do you want?" he asked suddenly. She shrank back and nervously opened the door. "Hororo... how did you know I was here?"
"Well... my haki seems to have improved. But answer my question now." he got up and ran over to her. With his left hand he took her chin and with his right hand he pulled her closer to him. "W- what are you doing?" she stammered in front of her, but she didn't want him to stop. Anyone can imagine what happened afterwards...
...
What... what's going on here? Zorro wondered when he woke up and found himself naked next to a naked Perona. He was completely confused until he remembered what happened last night. Zorro trained his senses yesterday and then fell into his inner thoughts. Whenever he got into this state he did what he wanted to do from the bottom of his heart - and that was mostly just sleeping. That's why he always slept so much. So was what happened to Perona last night what he wanted from the bottom of his heart? Yes, it was a good feeling, but... Zorro was sure that this feeling was still there - and worse than before.
Damn it...
