The Princess and The Swordsman (ZoroxOC)

Chapter 7

Another agent approached us from behind and went to hit me with a huge hammer, but Zoro quickly spun and sliced through the weapon with ease as I stumbled back in shock, "He-He tried to kill me." I realized in surprise.

Zoro looked at his blade, "Huh? What the hell is it doing?" He asked in surprise. He eased his sword closer to his face, "Well, Kitestsu the Third, you're quite sharp...but you're also a bit of a troublemaker, aren't you? A good sword only cuts when it's master directs it to. Cursed or not, you're going to listen to me now." He said to his sword.

I looked over as a small boy ran up with a dagger in his hand, "Die!" He shouted. Zoro turned his blade and hit the boy with the flat end on the head as a nun ran up and grabbed the boy, "No!" She shouted and sheltered the boy in her arms, "Please, have mercy on the little boy! I beg you!" She begged Zoro as he stared her down emotionlessly.

"Please, kind sir, have mercy on us!" She cried, pretending to be scared. I looked at Zoro, "Zoro," I said softly and he nodded, "I know." He said as the nun suddenly pulled out a weapon of her own in the shape of the cross, "Or, try some blinding powder!" She snapped as the powder began escaping her cross. Zoro cut them down instantly, "You'd be better off trying that cheap trick on someone whose more likely to fall for it." He said, his voice dangerous.

"Zoro-" I exclaimed but broke off when the nun and the little boy fell unconscious. Zoro met my eyes, "The flat of the blade is a mercy, Evelyn." He said his voice soft. I nodded, "Thank you, Zoro." I said and took his hand again, "Come on, Zoro! Up here!" I instructed as I led him up a ladder.

"Ugh! They just keep on climbing up!" A Million shouted; "Corner them!" Another shouted.

"Over there!"
"Cut them off!"
"Around the back!"
"Right!"

The agents shouted as they raced through Whiskey Peak, looking for us. They followed us up high and an agent laughed maniacally, "Hahaha! There's no where to run now!" He shouted as he reached the top of the ladder. Zoro grabbed the ladder and chuckled a demented chuckle as he fiddled with the ladder, "Well that was fun. See ya!" He said smirking and flipped the ladder, making it fall.

"Oh no! Look out for the ladder!" An agent shouted as the ladder fell. Zoro looked at me, "Grab on if you want out of here." He informed me. I wrapped my arms around hid neck and my legs around his waist as he jumped. He used the falling ladder as a boost to get across, "Look out! He's coming right for us! Shoot!" Someone shouted. They fired their guns and I squeezed my eyes shut, hiding my face in Zoro's neck.

"Hang on tight." Zoro told me and pulled out two swords, "Two Sword Style: Hawk Wave!" He shouted. Zoro landed us safely, spund around real fast, and knocked everyone around us unconscious. More agents tried to drop on us, "Zoro, above us!" I shouted. Zoro quickly cut the ground and got us out of there as the agents landed, and Zoro smirked, "I wouldn't be standing there if I were you." He warned the agents.

They looked at us as the area Zoro cut, gave away, making them fall. I slid off his back, "Wow Zoro, you're amazing." I admitted. Zoro didn't acknowledge what I said as he seemed to hear something behind us. Ms. Monday swung a ladder at the back of Zoro's head, barely missing as he dodged by hitting the ground, "Zoro!" I shouted.
