Two Parallels // Roronoa Zoro X Reader // One Piece

1. ROMANCE DAWN

Life at sea, a lot of people may think it's a bad and lonely thing. But not for me. There was a treasure to find. I know what your thinking, I was crazy to believe that such thing existed. But I wasn't, 22 years ago there was a pirate called Gold Roger, he had the same fate as every pirate back then, before his death he announced that his treasure was there to find. My dad started off with the search and I continued it when I reached a certain age. Now it just me and my boat.

Of course I wanted to be apart of a crew but at the same time, how would I ever be able to trust them. Especially if they want to be king or queen of the pirates as well. I'm not sure if I wanted to share that title. Although it would be nice for me to have company. Sometimes I wondered whether I should just leave my hunt behind and start hunting for pirates. There's good money with that. But for now it's me and my boat. It was night soon and I saw Captain Alvida's ship.

I was apart of her crew but I left. I decided I didn't want to be apart of crew that was ruled by someone like her. Of course I left a good friend behind. Koby. As I passed the ship I saw flames. Followed by an arm then Alvida went overboard. I managed to sneak onto the ship. Try and get Koby off.

"Come on. We're gonna need a boat and enough food for a few days." Some guy with a hat on said to Koby.

"Me?" Koby asked him as I started waking over to him.

"Yeah! You're coming with me, right?" The guy asked Koby.

"Y/n, what are you doing here?" Koby asked as he spotted me and I walked over to him.

"I saw flames. Are you okay? Who is that guy?" I asked him and we started following after this guy.

"He's called Monkey D. Luffy. He wants to be king of the pirates. He's assembling a crew." He said to me and we made it over to him.

"Koby, who's your friend?" He asked and I looked at him with a smile.

"I'm Y/n, failing pirate. On her way to get the one piece." I said with a smile to him, that was the only thing that I truly wanted in my life. Get the treasure and become a sense of royalty.

"Well, welcome to the crew." He said to me. We then gathered supplies and got ourselves a boat. We were now a team.

"That look on Alvida's face. I've never seen anyone stand up to her before." Koby said to Luffy. No one's ever been brave enough to face her.

"Should get have messed with you." Luffy said and I was happy that someone had been looking out for Koby. Especially since I'd left. Many moons ago.

"How did you stretch like that?" Koby asked him and this was something that I had missed.

"It's kind of a long story." Luffy said to us and I looked at him.

"If you haven't noticed we're not going very far or fast. You have all the time to tell us." I said to him with a smile. We could all share our life stories at this point. He then told us his story.

"You ate the devil fruit?" We both asked him. I couldn't believe this at all. How did someone even find one of those.

"I didn't know any better. But mine was a Gum Gum Fruit. It turned my body into rubber." He said to us before he pulled his face and it was stretchy. Just like rubber.

"So now what? We have to be going somewhere, right?" Koby asked Luffy who had just led down.

"I feel like we're going nowhere at the minute." I said to him agreeing with Koby's point.

"We are going somewhere. Next stop, to the Grand Line!" Luffy said while pointing to the distance. I didn't even know which way to go to get to it.

"Do you know how to get there?" Koby asked.
