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

2. THE MAN IN THE STRAW HAT

It was another day with this new founded crew of what I could only classify us as. Definitely a group of misfits. Once it was nighttime, I as much as I'd love to fall asleep couldn't. I was kept up. "Don't you ever sleep?" Zoro asked me as I was pacing.

"I'd love to. If they would stop talking out there." I said loudly and I sat down on one of the beds.

"I'll sort it out." He said to me. "Will you two mock it off? We're trying to take a nap." Zoro said and I was glad that I wasn't the only one that couldn't sleep.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were we interrupting your beauty sleep?" Nami asked me and I looked over at her.

"Yeah, just a little." I said to her. Beside I need to rest. Who knows what we'd fight or come across tomorrow.

"Don't like what you see? Look away." Zoro said and I definitely liked what I saw. When I finally did manage to try and rest. I was then awoken from my second nap. By Zoro walking by the safe was open. They had the map. "That's it? Isn't there supposed to be gold inside a safe? Or jewels?" He asked us and we looked at him.

"Come on, this is better than gold." I said to him with a smile.

"This more valuable than gold. It's Knowledge. This is a map to the Grand Line." Nami said to him and to Zoro this would be his time to collect all the bounties he could ever want.

"The Grand Line. Ah. The Grand Line is just right...where is it exactly?" Luffy asked us and that's when I wanted to give up. There was no way we'd ever make it there.

"You're going there, but you don't know where it is?" Nami asked him and I looked at her.

"We are so screwed." I said to her. We needed an actual Captain.

"Guess I need a navigator on my crew." He said to Nami. We then followed her into the cabin. "The seas are divided into four quadrants. East Blue, North Blue, West, South. This thin strip of land that circles the globe it's called the Red Line, and this band across the middle is the Grand Line. A treacherous stretch of ocean with bigger islands, bigger cities, bigger pirates. Flush with riches and ripe for the picking." Nami said to us and I looked at her. This was where we'd find it. The One Piece.

"And that's where we're gonna find the One Piece." Luffy said to us, it felt good that we'd finally get to it.

"I've taken out a lot of pirates looking for that thing. What is it? Like, a big diamond or something?" Zoro asked us, it could be anything at this point. We had no idea.

"It's Gold Roger's treasure. He hid it somewhere in the Grand Line. All in one piece." Luffy said to him. And soon it could be ours. Potentially. Hopefully.

"It's a myth. The reason no one's found it in 22 years is that it doesn't exist." Nami said to us and maybe she had a point. Someone would've been able to have find it about now.

"Can't wait to see the look on your face when we find it." Luffy said to her and I looked at him.

"Maybe she has point- -" I started before there was an explosion. Then a glow of red. I didn't realize I was holding Zoro's hand until he nudged it off.

"Is that the Marines?" Zoro asked us and I looked at him but how.

"Already?" I asked him.

"How did they find us?" Nami asked before we went onto the deck. The whole sky was red.

"The smoke smells weird." Luffy said before Nami passed out.

"Raise..." Zoro said before the both of us went to the mast. We were then out as well. Our hands inches away from each other. But soon all I could see was black. When I woke up my vision was a bit blurred. As I looked around it looked like I was in a cage. With the others. "They took my swords." Zoro said from beside me.
