9 | ⏳ Zoro's Lament⌛️

"He's gone." Zoro said. All the Strawhats were grouped together, trying to figure out where Sanji had gone.

"He must have been taken by the government of this island." Robin said 

"You're right, they probably wanted to take him because the people think of him as a saviour," Usopp agreed.

"W-we need to find him, he could be in danger!" Zoro said, thoughts rushing through his mind about what could be happening to Sanji right at that moment.

"Zoro, you need to calm down. We will find Sanji, and we will save him no matter what. You just have to be patient, alright?" Luffy said, trying to comfort Zoro.

"I'm sorry, I need to leave I just-I..." Zoro said before leaving. His mind was flooded, so all he could do was think.

"Stupid genie," Zoro whispered to himself as he lay on the ground in his room. 

He wouldn't just leave without telling me...right?

He stood up, determined to find Sanji. He continued to walk out of the door and through the corridors, ending up on the deck in the summer breeze. Zoro walked up to the wooden railings and looked over to the sea, wondering where the hell Sanji was and what the hell he was doing.

You better not be dead, I haven't even been able to tell you how I feel yet

Zoro sighed and turned around, but before he could go back inside, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. A trace of blood lay on the floor before Zoro's feet, it wasn't too visible if you didn't look close enough. Zoro's fists clenched.

Fuck... I have to find him before they kill him!

Zoro ran and grabbed his swords, passing the crew that watched him rage like a bull. 

"Zoro? Where are you going?" Nami asked as he tightened his shoes.

"I can't wait any longer, their going to kill him if we don't stop them!" Zoro replied, standing up and running out.

"Wait! Ugh, he's going to get lost... Come on, we have go after him!" Usopp said before he gathered the rest of the crew to chase after Zoro, who was out of his mind.

"Where is he?" Luffy and the rest of the crew had searched everywhere for Zoro, but they couldn't find him. They had guessed that he was in the castle, but he may have been captured.

"If Zoro really has been captured, then that means we're dealing with someone who is pretty strong," Usopp said, looking up at the large castle.

""You're right, that means their both in danger if we don't help them," Luffy said seriously. 

"We have to have to go in then?" Nami said.

"Of course, they'll probably kill Zoro or hand him in for his bounty. I can't say the same for Sanji, they might have some different plans for him," Luffy said.

"Captains orders, lets go save those idiots!" Nami said. So the crew set off into the castle, breaking down the door and running in with their weapons drawn.

The Strawhats looked around the large ballroom, watching out for a trap or any enemies. It was silent. There was not a single sound, only the heavy breathing of the crew members and their nervous footsteps. 

Guns locked on the crew from each end of the room, pointing at them, ready to shoot. 

"Shit," Nami said, looking at all the men that pointed their guns at the crew.

"Hands up!" A man said. The crew did as they were told and let themselves be cuffed and taken away, there was nothing they were able to do anyway, otherwise they would have been killed.

"Hey! Before you take us away, at least let us see Zoro!" Luffy shouted.

"Zoro? Hmm, it seems we must have missed one," A voice spoke, echoing around the room. 

"You, your the mastermind of all this islands suffering!" Luffy shouted.

"Take them away," The voice said before the men took the Strawhats away.

Welp, guess we're screwed
