The sound of swords moving put you on full alert, Roronoa Zoro was in town. You admired him, battleling with three swords it's a feat, but you are amazing too, the best archer in fact.
This reasoning made you two ignore the warnings of your captains and reunite on the center of the town at midnight.
"Are you ready to fight?" You say trying to sound nice and chivalrous.
"I am ready to defeat you, and don't think i will take it easy on you."
You didn't answer that thinking about the cocky bastard he is, you started to tense the bowstring while using your haki. The thing about your arrows it's that thanks to your devil fruit you could change them, like exploding one or lightning.. and that it's your strength.
The battle it's being really long, it should be lasting more than two hours but neither of you wants to stop and accept the defeat.
"Are you tired, muscled bastard?"
"Of course not, i am not even a bit."
"Ohhhhh, god, stop that you two," a woman got out of one near building and splashed something on your faces that you wish to believe was water, "go somewhere else and stop fighting, some people here want to sleep."
For a moment you considered ignoring the woman but it was late and you were a little tired, but you aren't going to accept that in front of Zoro.
"What if we try another competition," he was next to you and proposing a new challenge.
You two ended up on a bar, the only one that was still open at that hour and started to drink, a lot. At some it wasn't even an enemie's competition anymore, it was more friendly.
"I must admit that your tricks with that arrows are good, but don't go saying that out loud." he said putting his arm on your shoulders.
"I must admit that someone who has three swords to fight it's impressive."
You both two were too drunk to reason correctly, laughing and loosing balance everytime you try to get up.
At the end you were the only left on the bar so singing looked like a good choice, it was not a good show but you two didn't care, having Zoro's arm around your waist sounded like the best scenario on the world.
The sun was starting to rise up and the lack of sleep started to have an effect. Zoro sat on the floor, next to a barrel and pushed you with him. His chest puffed up and down slowly, setting clear that he is starting to get asleep. The slowly sound of his heartbeat made you fade away fast too. Before getting asleep you hear the voices of your captains trying to move both of you, but apparently Zoro's arms didn't let you go.
