FIRST LOVE

END

Luffy and the others arrived early and secured their seats. They were patiently waiting for the contest to start. Mihawk entered first and a dominating aura surrounded him. Despite his scary aura, people still cheered and shrieked

Zoro entered the stage next and the crowd cheered loudly for him. He saw Mihawk waiting for him and he unconsciously gripped his shinai tighter

*shinai- Japanese sword made of bamboo

As he walked towards his opponent, his heart thumped louder with each step. He searched for a certain someone hoping it will help him calm down. He searched in the crowds and instantly spotted him. It's like his eyes already knew where to find him

There, he saw him along with his friends. He was looking directly at him while smiling widely. He mouthed something which made him calm down

"I believe in you"

He faced his opponent with confidence and pride. The fight has begun and the crowd went silent. They were fighting seriously. Their breathing and grunts can be heard as well as the sound of their shinai colliding

Luffy's gaze was only fixed to the moss head. His fists were tightly closed with his mind only filled with:

'ZoroZoroZoroZoroZoroZoroZoro'

On the other hand...

'LuffyLuffyLuffy...Gotta impress my crush... What will be his answer after our fight? LuffyLuffyLuffyLuffy'

He gave his all and used all of his strength. After five minutes, the match was finally set. Everyone cheered for the winner

"Congratulations, Roronoa Zoro!" The judges handed him a bouquet, certificate and a gold medal. He stood proudly as he was now titled "The greatest swordsman"

He searched for Luffy and saw him running towards him with a large and proud smile plastered on his face

"Zoroooo!"

"Luffy!"

He jumped and latched himself onto the moss head. They both hugged each other tightly and laughed

The crowd were squealing as they already knew Zoro likes Luffy so much. They were busy capturing images and videos

"Zoro"

"Hm?"

"I'm telling you my answer right now"

"Okay" he gulped nervously as he positioned the boy correctly to make them both comfortable

"I'll gladly share my life with you. I love you, Zoro" he grinned as he saw the other's reaction

"Y-you mean that?"

"Yep!"

"I love you so much, Luffy!" He hugged the boy tighter and twirled them both out of happiness

The crowd was weeping in joy as well as their friends. Of course, Nami captured the moment and shared it with his brothers without knowing that Ace and Sabo were also present and saw the whole scene.

They kissed each other passionately ignoring the screams and squeals around them. It was just them in their own world. Lost together.

"You're the best reward that I received, Luffy"

"And I'm glad you're the one who received the reward" they connected their foreheads with a loving smile plastered on their faces

Meanwhile....

"I didn't agree he could do things like that to my little brother!" Ace was fuming in anger while the other tried to stop him from ruining the wholesome moment
