ZoLu Imagines II 🏖

Stranded | 2 🥥🌴

Zoro's eyes widened with fear.

".... What do you mean no one else is here?" He questioned Luffy after they scanned the Island and searched around every place they could.

Even though they both split up and got lost along the way, the separate paths that Luffy and Zoro had taken eventually connected them with each other again, helping the two men reunite.

They exchanged a look of confusion as a troublesome epiphany struck: They were all alone.

"I knew being up there was a bad idea." Zoro whacked Luffy over the head with his hand.

"IT WAS YOUR FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"MINE?!" Then, they began to argue against who was right or wrong, while Zoro vividly recalled exactly what had happened.

"Let me refresh your memory, 'Captain'."

~Flashback~

A strong storm struck a landing on the serene seas Luffy and his crewmates were peacefully sailing.

It was just as Nami had predicted before, the storm would cause damaging winds and unforgiving rising tides.

"Everyone, grab ahold of something! The winds are really starting to pick up!!" She warned, making sure that everyone was safe.

Out of every person there, only two of the Strawhats were missing.

"Where's Zoro and Luffy?" She asked, turning her head every-which-way.

"Ojos Fleur." Robin used her Hana-Hana no mi abilities, letting her hands travel to where she found the two boys.

"Oh my!" She started to giggle when seeing how cuddled up Luffy was around Zoro, peacefully asleep.

When she tapped on their shoulders, no one woke up. Only when they were in the eye of the storm, did they make an attempt to save themselves...

But by then, it was already too late. They were caught up in the storm and washed away into an expedition unknown.

~Present Time~

"Liar liar, pants on fire! You were the one who invited me up there." The young boy stuck his tongue out at Zoro.

"As if, YOU were the one that climbed up there and stayed asleep!"

"But you cuddled me, so it was your fault." Luffy launched a baby crab at Zoro, watching him get angry.

"Will you stop throwing these!? They're live creatures, dumb shit!" He shouted, looking into his hand to see only an empty shell.

The younger boy continued to cause a scene to every sea creature there, pushing Zoro.

"What the hell is your problem!?" The older man pushed him back, seeing him go wild.

"Gum-gum no..." Knowing his malicious intentions, Zoro gave Luffy a warning.

"Don't tempt me, Luffy. I won't hold myself accountable for what I'll do next." Failing to take heed into his first mate's warning, Luffy launched his arms at him.

"ROCKET!!!.... Wha- what the-" His arms were suddenly held down while Zoro dunked the boy's head into the water, watching him kick furiously at him until his kicks ceased.

Overpowered by the dominant man and his true enemy: Water, Luffy fell limp.

Pulling his head back up to the surface, the older man sighed while his Captain no longer wished to fight with him.

"We have to get out of here." His reply made Zoro laugh.

"Yeah? How? Look around you, there's no where to go unless we have a boat."

"Whatever, if you don't wanna leave, then stay. I'll survive by myself, this place will feel like home in no time!" Luffy mocked Zoro's laugh, running ahead into the jungle.

While rushing into the wildlife area, Luffy's flip flops were left behind along the way on accident when they slipped off of his feet.

Not noticing this when wanting to prove his point to Zoro, the boy kept running along without looking back, nor down to where his feet met the ground.

Seeing how many dangerous and sharp looking things were scattered around the jungle, from thorns to poisonous plants and creatures ranging from many different sizes, Zoro grew worried.

"Oi, LUFFY! Luff- That fool."

He took off behind him, appearing to follow behind the Captain at first, until he got lost yet again with his poor sense of direction.

"He's gonna get hurt..."

~ In the meantime ~

"I'll prove myself to you, Roronoa. Let's see... Sticks for campfire, check. Food?" Luffy looked down at a wild boar he had beaten with the sticks he had previously collected.

"Check! Shelter... Hmm, maybe I could build a tent or something out of those big leaves." Looking over at his side, he noticed a shadow move behind him.

A greedy grin appeared on the boy's face, noticing the familiar looking silhouette.

"Well well well, back so soon? Ah, Zoro. I knew you would miss m-" A loud growl made the boy tumble back, crushing his back against the sticks he had gathered, snapping them.

"You... You're not Zoro..." He gulped, seeing a large, ferocious snake slithering towards him.

"Hmm, maybe this snake's skin would make a nice sheet to keep warm at night."
