"Guys..." 

The rest of the crew looked over at him, Sanji stood up with one of Zoro's swords in his hand. It was all beaten up and scratched, Zoro would never let one of his swords be in this condition, but weirdest thing it that it's unsheathed, Sanji looked around again, He saw Zoro's 2 other swords. He's unarmed..

Sanji picked up the other 2 swords. Nami walked over.

"He wouldn't go anywhere without them, All of them unsheathed, Something had to of happened." Nami took one of the swords from Sanji's hold. She looked at closely. Robin walked over and examined the area more closely, nothing seemed out of the ordinary at a first glance.

"Was he in a fight?" Luffy asked, Robin shook her head a little. 

"There would have been more of a struggle and markings on the ground if Zoro was fight. The ground is undisturbed." Robin walked further into the forest, trying to find anything to signal anything about Zoro being in a fight or some type of struggle. 

Usopp walked over to Sanji and Nami, He put a hand on Sanji's shoulder. Luffy followed Robin a little behind her. Sanji sighed a little and followed after Robin and Luffy, Nami and Usopp also following.

After walking around the forest for a little, Robin found something. 

"Footsteps." Robin pointed out, They could be Zoro's, she didn't know. She looked around a little more, she couldn't see anything more, Luffy started to follow the footsteps, Sanji and Usopp followed their captain. 

They followed the footsteps, the ended up at a bridge, Luffy started to walk across it.

"Wait Luffy! Stop!" Robin called out, Luffy stopped in his tracks, He turned to her as well as Sanji and Usopp. The three boys were confused, Robin was a little puffed out from running. when she got her breath back.

"It's a trap! Look!" Luffy looked over to the other side to where the bridge leads, there were people wait in the tree line ready to attack, Luffy started to back up until he noticed someone that looked familiar, a certain someone with green hair.

"ZORO!" Luffy screamed out to his crewmate, the others perked up when Luffy screamed it out and rushed over to the edge to see if Luffy was telling the truth. They saw the sight that Luffy saw.

Zoro was tied up and on his knees, he looked beaten up, covered in cuts and bruises, his head was hung low and he didn't look up when his captain called out his name, he didn't move, he was still. 2 People were next to him with swords drawn, they had grins on their faces. Luffy was about start running over to help Zoro.

"Not another step or the swordsmen gets it! His bounty is a lot and we still get the berries if he's dead or alive." One of the bandits shouted out, Luffy paused. 

"You can have your member back when we get 1 million berries! Or we stick him!" He laughed a little and the rest of the men walked out of the tree line. 

"Done! Give me my member!" Luffy didn't mind spending that much just as long as he got Zoro back unharmed and alive.

"The money first, then you get your member!" 

"How do we know you won't kill him while we're gone!" Sanji snapped back to the bandit.

"I guess you'll have to trust us!" The men laughed a little.

"I can go get the money and you guys stay, Robin come." Nami started to head back the way they came, Robin nodded at went with Nami.

Luffy stared down the bandits, Usopp pulled out his slingshot getting ready to fire if they did anything, Sanji's focus was on Zoro and only Zoro alone, Sanji didn't know why but he wanted to run over and make sure Zoro's okay, why has he been feeling this way about him lately?

A little while later Nami and Robin came back with the money.

"We got your money!" The bandit started to walk forward with the 2 men almost dragging Zoro along with them. they met half way at bridge, they threw Zoro back onto his knees in front of them, Nami handed over the box full of money. The bandit laughed a little and started to walk away. like a flash Nami helped Zoro up and started to rush of the bridge, She was almost pushing Zoro off the bridge.

"Nami?.. What are you?--"

"We gotta go right now. It won't be long till they realise it's not 1 million Berries." Nami cut off Zoro. 

"Hey! that bitch under paid us!" one of the bandits yelled out.

"We gotta go! Usopp Sanji help Zoro!" Nami yelled out, Sanji and Usopp rushed over and helped Zoro stand up. the bandits ran after them. Nami used one of Zoro's swords to cut the rope from the bridge. they went falling down into the river below.

"Okay time to go back to the ship." Robin said very fast.

"Chopper!!!" Luffy screamed out for doctor, Chopper came running out of the lower deck.

"Yes captain!--" He saw Sanji and Usopp dragging Zoro onto the ship, all  beaten up and blood splotched everywhere on him, "Zoro! Come quick!" Sanji and Usopp nodded and hulled Zoro to the medical wing. 

Luffy, Nami, Robin, Brook and Franky got the ship ready to sail off before the bandits came over and tried to start a fight.

"Soo... We found Zoro." Nami said a little out of breath

"We are never letting him out of sight again." Robin stated.
