The Kept Promise

Part 5

"Ussop!" You ran and hugged him. "I got worried when I didn't hear from you. Zoro sent after me to come help you two," he said. "Okay. Zoro went looking for my sword, we have to find him before fixing my problem, and fulfilling my promise," you said to him. "Okay let's go," he said. You snuck into the castle looking for Zoro, soon you heard swords clashing. "In there," you both stuck your head in before seeing Zoro and Daz Bones in a swordfight. "Ahh so your friends have arrived," he said.

You were pulled into the room. "Let me go," you shouted. Ussop managed to shoot the random thug in the head dropping him. "Nice shot," you said. You hid behind a pillar. "This fight is between you and me. Not Zoro, not Ussop," you shouted. The swordfighting stopped. "Then step forward," you sword was thrown to your feet. You picked it up not taking your eye off of him. "Very well," you said. You stood there, anticipation was killing him. Eventually he got tired of waiting and ran at your first. You deflected him easily. "You got stronger, swordswoman. But your no match for Zoro," he smirked. "I'm not fighting Zoro, I'm fighting you," you sliced his chest. He doubled back in pain but didn't relent.

The fight was endless it seemed until he made an error he stepped right into my swing and plunged a dagger in my arm. I yanked it out and continued my campaign. Surprised I didn't quit right then he stopped my attack and stared, "That should've stopped you. Yet you continue fighting against me," he said. "You killed my little sister, it's her vengeance that continues this fight. I am merely her vessel," you shouted and sliced his leg open. He doubled over in pain. "You killed my whole family for what?!?!" You asked. "Because dad was former Marine?" Sliced his arm. He screams. "Because mom was a sympathizer?!" Slices his cheeks and kicked him backwards. "Because my sister got in the way?!? Your tyranny ends today!!!!"

He deflected and sent you flying. "If I die today it will be on my feet!" You shouted as you ran at him the same time he did at you. You slide under his attack missing the swing. You stabbed him through the gut not killing him but wounding him again, you wanted his death to be slow. "You were never good enough for Zoro! His real love was that bitch from the village. I enjoyed watching her fall down the stairs. After all I was the one who pushed her," he laughed.

Your eyes widened, "You killed Kuina?" You asked not paying attention to the fact he sliced your chest open. You fell. "It was suppose to be a simple job, you see. I was paid to get her out of the way, because Zoro was suppose to be the best. Who knew he become such a thorn in my side," he said smirking. "Oni Giri!" Zoro finished him.

You lay there bleeding, coughing up blood. "Y/N!" Ussop ran and held your head. "What's the meaning of this?" You heard Nami and Chopper. "Chopper? Nami?" You said weakly. Chopper set the work on your chest wound. Nami was calming down Ussop. Zoro was caressing your cheek. "Zoro," you said. "I'm here, I'm right here," he said. "Don't leave me this time," he said to you. You smiled. "I fulfilled my final promise," you said to him. "You did them proud." "I feel tired." "No! Don't leave me! Please stay with me!" He shouted. Your eyes closed.
