" Shitty Blacksmith... " | A Zoro X M!Reader Fanfic.

Chapter 1 | "The Arrival"

It was a normal day in the Sunshine Land, kids were playing around the village, the bar was filled with joy and glee but the blacksmith at the opposite side of the village remained quiet and empty. You cleaned the anvil as little bursts of lava bubbles echoed through the building, you always had the same routine, wait until someone arrives to buy or order a specific type of weapon in your shifty shop. Nothing special was happening yet until you heard people scream from the village, you ran back to see a ship in the distance, noticing the straw hat flag you shivered in fear thinking that they'll kill or steal from you.
But you tried to be calm about it, no pirates that came through this island found you so you didnt really get scared but rather shocked since the Straw Hats out of all pirates appeared. You continue to do your daily work and make some swords, farmer tools and some other weapons. You heard a knock on the door, you got confused to why someone would visit or buy from you but yet, you curiously opened the door and found the tall man with unnatural green hair stand over the doorway. You shivered in fear recognizing the male. It was Roronoa Zoro.
You timidly asked if you could help him with something. He asked you:
-"Hey, you. Do you sell katana's?"
You answered: "Yes, i do, uhm, i could forge one for you if you have a specific taste of kata-"
He ignores you and he walked over to the katana stand looking at all of them.
"You can test them if you want, i always have a spare log for the fire that I let the costumers use." You'd place the log in a wooden stand once the man grabbed a katana from the stand he looked at it, inspecting it. He made such a clean cut through it. "Ah! You must be a natural swordsman. I mean, you have to be one because of you know... Your reputation?" You talked to him as he stared at you "What do you want? My head off my body?"
"No, I want you to buy the katana that you've used." You'd answer as you looked at him. You'd stare at him up and down noticing some of his scars and special features, it was surprising meeting the man himself, no, strange to meet him personally. He eventually found money to pay you but you heard someone scream his name in the distance.
"Well, i see someone is searching for you, it was nice meeting you, Roronoa Zoro." You say as you took the money, he left the store. You followed him and waved goodbye, smilling. The man starts to look around, was he lost? You walked over to find out
"Do you know the way back over to the village?" You asked him, having a smile in your face. "Do YOU know the way back?" He asked, you nodded as he sighed. "You want me to lead the way?" You giggled a bit. "As if." He looked at you. You start to walk towards the village, he waited for a bit, standing there watching you leave. He started to follow you, you noticed him follow you, so you got more closer to him.
"How is it like to be wanted?" You asked him, he gave no response. "Is it true you use three swords?" No response again. "Not much of a talker huh?" Still no response or any sight of reaction. "Well i am, so why did you and your band stopped by? Do you need supplies for the trip? I mean, it is rare to see pirates stopping by, specially the pirates who threatened the world government and basically destroyed Enies Lobby."
"Oh god, you are so annoying." He said as he sighed.
You kept talking to him and he still listened but gave no reaction that's not angry mumbles whatsoever. You two eventually arrived at the village and you said goodbye and as expected, he ignored you. Well you got wasn't surprised, he must've been annoyed at you for talking too much.
You smiled as you saw he walk towards the village. He tried to find the rest of his crew alone.
