Book Two: You're my Treasure Too (Zoro X OC)

Chapter Eight ~ Dangers of the Deep Sea

The four finally came to a stop and found themselves floating among giant deep sea creatures, not that they could see any of them as it was pitch black.

All present knew how to use Haki though so they could sense the creatures and each other, so they first regrouped with each other before they would go looking for the others.

"Hey! Nicole-chan! Are you alright?!" Sanji called fluttering over to where he could sense her.

"I'm alright! But i think my bubble is leaking so it's gonna pop any second" Nicole replied, she could feel the water filling in.

Then as she prepared to face the crushing depths Zoro pulled her into his bubble just as hers popped.

"I've got you" Zoro said pulling her in.

"Thanks Zoro" she smiled and kissed his cheek, now that the two were sharing the bubble, but that didn't last long as Sanji's and Luffy's bubble popped shortly afterwards and they all crammed into the last remaining bubble.

Sanji also immiditiatly started leaking blood from his nose like a fountain once sharing the same space as Nicole.

"Hey! The kraken came down with us!" Luffy called once safe in the bubble.

"That's good, we can find the others quicker with his help" Zoro said.

"I think its waking up" Nicole said just as the kraken was indeed waking up.

Thankfully the octopus could see in the dark waters and recognized the four that beat him.

"So you gonna need another beat down or are you gonna help us?" Luffy asked the kraken cracking his knuckles, the kraken nodded and grabbed their bubble as they went to find the others.

As they were looking they saw a light in the distance and figuring it must be the Sunny and headed where the light was coming from.

They could see a huge angler fish and an Umiboze with a huge decrypt ship behind them, but more importantly they also saw the Sunny.

Wadatsumi was just about to hit the Sunny when a tentacle uppercut him knocking him back.

"Kraken?!" Chopper exclaimed.

Then the Kraken lifted all of its tentacles and started mercilessly beating Wadatsumi in a flurry of punches, even when the Umiboze grabbed one tentacle the Kraken did not stop.

"Alright, that enough, stop!" Luffy called and the giant octopus stopped letting Wadatsumi fall to the floor.

"Good job" Luffy said and the kraken sheepishly rubbed the back of its head "Hey!" the rubber man called as he, Zoro, Sanji and Nicole, all stuffed into one bubble, made their way over to the Sunny.

"Luffy! Zoro! Sanji! Nicole!" Usopp called.

"I'm glad you're all alive!" Chopper cried happily.

"What were you doing?!" Nami asked.

"Nami-san! Robin-Chan!" Sanji called his nose already flowing blood like a fountain because Nicole was squished between him and Zoro.

"We've been looking for you guys!" Luffy said.

Zoro sighed a bit "They're so high-maintenance, they got lost" he muttered.

Nicole giggled a bit "That they are but we're the ones who got lost" she pointed out.

Sanji spurted even more blood from his nose spotting Robin and Nami.

"Sanji! Oh no he's relapsing, he needs rehab with less stimulating pictures" Chopper said going through a collection of pictures he had of the girls on the crew.
