Thrice Prophesized - Zoro x Reader

Chapter 2: Your Name Here

You had been taken back to the sick bay and the little reindeer creature went through a thorough checkup while the demon-man waited just outside the door. You could feel his aura easily, and the only person on the ship who seemed a bigger threat was the farm boy. The blonde man in the suit seemed to be close to the demon-man in strength, and – honestly – there wasn't what you would consider to be a single weak person on the whole ship.

"Sorry I screamed at you." You say after it seems like the small doctor is almost done with his work.

"Oh... it's okay, I understand why. You called me a forest spirit when you first arrived on the ship, but I guess when you ended up healing inside the ice you forgot."

You tilt your head. "I... don't remember any of that. I hope it wasn't rude to call you a forest spirit."

The small doctor smiles. "I didn't think so, and you can call me Chopper."

"Thank you for taking care of me, Dr. Chopper." You say with a smile.

Chopper smiles and then gives you an apologetic look. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more."

"The memory will return, or it won't. I will simply have to do my best in the meantime." You look around. "Am I to stay in here?"

"Only for a little longer." Chopper assures you. "I think Franky's making a bed for you, and Brook and Robin are helping. Sanji's making something to eat, and Nami and Usopp are putting together some information about the world, so you don't get into trouble accidentally."

"That is appreciated."

"You're speaking differently from what you before." Chopper points out, "Are you remembering something?"

You shake your head. "I don't think so. It just... feels like I should speak as politely as possible."

"You don't have to worry about something like that with this crew," he assures you.

"Perhaps not." You admit. "But... I also don't know who I am. Was I proper? Was I strong? If this is my world, why do it feel completely unworldly to me? I can feel something slipping through my veins and through the air and it almost feels like what I know, but then it does not." You look at your hands before balling them into fists. Taking a breath in you let it out slowly.

"Not knowing is stressful."

Chopper reaches out to you, but the door opens and the girl with the orange hair, Nami, pokes her head in. "We've got some food ready so you can eat, then we can go over everything else, if you're ready."

"I... hm. I suppose I am as ready as I can be." You admit, following her into the common area after knocking on the door to let the demon-man know you're leaving.

"Why'd you knock on the door like that?" Chopper asks.

"Your demon-friend seems to be guarding you all from me, so it seemed polite." You explain as you go into the kitchen. You hadn't seen this part of the ship before, at least not for more than a moment as you made your way to the sick bay.

It was alive with the smell of food, and the majority of the crew. The blonde man in the suit seemed to be the cook, and if his food tasted half as good as it smelled then it was it quite the testament to his capacity as chef. You didn't realize how painfully hungry you were until you moved to sit down and nearly toppled over.

"Are you okay?" The taller lady with the dark hair asks as you manage to sit down.

"Yeah... I, uh, don't remember when I last ate." You give her a soft smile and settle into the seat.
