The Princess and The Swordsman (ZoroxOC)

Chapter 55

"That's not good." I heard Zoro say. I glanced down on the lower deck where Zoro was standing, a concerned look on his face, "If he can mimic the face of the king that easily, Mr. 2 has the potential to cause a lot of trouble." he said, his voice low and serious, "Looks like we let a really bad guy get away tody, huh?" Usopp asked as Zoro looked at him and nodded, "Yeah." he answered and met my worried eyes.

"If he realizes we're the ones Baroque Works is after, then he can use the memories he got earlier  to become any one of us! We won't even be able to trust our own friends." Nami explained as I watched the crew from where I stood, "Really? Uh..." Luffy trailed off and Nami sighed, "I'll explain it again." She said but Zoro waved her off, "No, hold on a sec. Luffy's slow but he's right not to be scared. Just hear me out on this one and I think you'll agree." Zoro said with his confident smirk on his face. I perked up curiously, "I want to hear this." I said and Zoro winked at me, "It's a good one." he assured me and looked at Nami and the others again.

"It's actually a good thing that we ran into Mr. 2 when we did, because now we can prepare. And we can beat him at his own game." Zoro explained. He looked at me again, "Evie, get the cook and bring him and Vivi down here." he said. I nodded and opened the kitchen door, "Sanji, come to the lower deck." I said and slammed the door. I then kelt in front of my twin, "Come on Vivi. I think Zoro has a brilliant plan." I said, pulling her to her feet. 

We walked down to the lower deck and I stood between Zoro and Shae. Vivi stood next to Luffy who stood on the other side of Shae as the others gathered around. Zoro explained his plan to us as we all listened carefully, taking in his every word. I smiled at Zoro, "It's a good one." I admitted and he grinned, "I told ya." he remarked proudly, as Chopper brought back some medical wrap for everyone. Once we had our X's on our arms and the medical wrapping hiding the X, we all stuck out arms out, in the center of us all.

"Okay. No matter what happens on that island, remember...this thing on all of our arms, is a sign of our friendship. Now, let's land, okay? Then eat! Oh, and help Vivi and Evie." he added. Zoro sighed beside me, "Thats a side note?" we all asked in unison. Zoro walked away from the group and leaned against the ship. I walked over beside him and leaned my head against the ship next to Zoro.

He grinned at me, "Worried, Evie?" he asked and I smiled, "I'm always worried, Zoro. Even if I don't say it out loud. But I cannot help to worry about you, mainly." I admitted. Zoro leaned in close, "I'll be fine, Evie. You've seen my strength, I won't get killed." he assured me. I nodded, "I know you're strong, Zoro. I don't doubt you at all. I'm worried because I don't know much about the other agents. Not their strengths, weaknesses, or even abilities. We have no idea what we will face." I said looking down to take his hand in mine.
