Summary
"How are you not afraid of Arlong?" she asked suddenly, her voice small.
"It’s not about fear," Zoro said, his gaze steady. "It’s about committing to a future and fighting for it. Everything else that would stop you—it’s just noise."
Nami let out a sharp, watery huff. "Psh. You’re such a damn swordsman. ‘Just turn off your brain and stab your problems away’” she mocked.
"Being a great swordsman isn't just about the way you swing a blade," he countered, leaning back slightly but keeping his eyes locked on hers. "It’s about knowing when to swing, and exactly who you’re pointing your steel at."
He arched an eyebrow at her, a challenge flickering in his eyes. "Actually, it’s something I’ve noticed you’re better at than me."

Alternative ending to when Zoro jumps in the water to see if Nami will save him at Arlong park.

Bookmark Notes:
You're an idiot," she hissed, her hair falling forward to hide her face. "You just made things worse."
"Maybe…but I needed to see it.”
“See what, exactly? Your grave?” she spat as she finished untying his ankles.
Zoro crossed his legs and looked at her.
"I saw that those bastards still hadn’t managed to kill the part of you that actually gives a damn." he said, his eyes unwavering.
