-With Sanji And Zoro-

Narrator's POV -

In the morning Zoro woke up and moved the jacket off of him.

Zoro's POV -

"Morning." Curly brows said smiling at me.

The only reason I knew he was smiling was because I had my eyes half open, ugh. Too early!

I wasn't in the mood for a full on conversation, after all I just woke up.

I sat up a little sore from sleeping on the deck like that, I then realized I was warmer then I was before.

'His jacket? Why do you have to be like this idiot.' I sigh very loudly.

"Why?" I asked throwing his jacket back at him not changing my expression of annoyance.

"Didn't want you to be cold last night is all." He replied putting his jacket back on.

"Whatever." I respond turning my back, so I wasn't facing him. I know he was just trying to be nice and all, but I was just very annoyed for some reason.

"Hey Zoro?" He said. "Zoro!"

"Huh? Oh, what?" I asked. To be honest I was completely zoned out just a few seconds ago, so I didn't hear him the first time.

"H-how did you know it was me?" He asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Hmm, when dumbass?" I ask turning back to face him, he had his head down. 'Huh?' I thought.

He's the one who asked me a question the least he could do was look at me or I'm my direction. 'What do I look bad or something?' I thought squinting my eyes.

"Back at the mansion, you knocked down the door that I, Ichiji and that guy were in. How did you know to go there?" He asked still facing the ground letting his blonde hair cover his face.

"Hah oh! I know that girly scream anywhere, plus I seen you guys earlier. He was dragging you into that room and I didn't want to intrude on whatever it was you two were doing.

As I walked in the other direction I really didn't care what you two were up to until I heard you scream, thought you might've needed help. Or you seen a bug." I said smiling at him.

"Huh?! Really? I don't have a girly sounding scream!" He shouted getting a little mad, but keeping his composure.

I guess in his eyes he couldn't really yell at a female, but it's still me, so yelling at me wasn't unusual when we get into conversations.

"Oh yes you do!" I said laughing.

He sounded defeated and grumbled to himself looking off seemingly embarrassed.

"What happened to you?" He asked looking back to me.

"Oh, yeah I should explain.

So when I left you guys and the sunny I was escorted to my grandfather's ship.

I wasn't necessarily a prisoner, I was more like a guest? Not sure how to put it.

Anyway, I was knocked out upon arrival on the ship. The, the next thing I remember was waking up in some cold dark basement. No, I was in a cell."

"Why couldn't you just escape?" He asked hand still on the wheel.

"I was chained to the wall." I responded .

"Where you *gestured to me* um..."

"I still looked like my old self, I didn't look  like this till much later."

He hummed in response.

"Well as soon as I woke up I was taken out of the cell to see him."

'Don't want to tell him too much.' I thought as I continued with my story.

"We took an elevator to the top floor, once there I was let into a room with large wooden doors.

Inside the room.......he was there standing waiting for me to enter. Akinari, my grandfather. The host of the party was the one who did this to me." I said looking off into the sea watching a few birds fly by in the distance.

"But how?" He asked.

"Magic." I put my hands up and waved them a little to add effect.

His eyes went wide.

"Heh, my family can use magic. We're a family of sorcerers." I said looking over to him, he seemed really excited.

"Wait really?? That's so cool!" He said excitedly.

I smiled.

"What can you do? Or can you even use magic? How does it even-"

I interrupted him. "Wait, wait. Too many questions at once. Let me think, I can do a little magic and I'm not sure how it exactly works." I replied.

"Can I see some? Magic I mean." He asked, I smirked.

"Um sure."

I held out my right hand palm facing to the sky and said a single word. "Autem." Just then there was a tiny splash from the water and something landed on the boat's deck.

Curly-brows picked it up. "A coin?"

"Usque adhuc." Just then some water flew up with a fish inside and hovered above curly-brows.

"Wow that's-" I let the water fall down on him, the fish landed on his head and the tail smacked him on his face.

"Hahaha." I started laughing. "Sorry bout that. Couldn't help myself." I said wiping a tear away from laughing.

"Ha ha very funny." He said taking the fish off of his head and putting it back in the ocean.

"Where do you think we are?" I asked looking around.

"I um, wait. Nami taught me this. If you're ever lost on the open sea just...look for, there! That's it." He said pointing up.

"What is it? I don't see anything."

"The stars, their always up there it's just harder to see them during the day. Anyway, that brightest star you can see is the star that'll point us to the next island."

I made a confused face. "Uh how dumbass?"

"The northern star and next to it is where I had been standing."

"You're not making any sense."

"Look. That's the northern star and next to it is the direction we have to go in order to get to our destination."

I made an 'o' expression. I didn't understand what he was saying, but I'll act like I do.
