"Wait PX-1"

His blood turned cold as he heard a voice he knew all too well for how little they've interacted coming from behind him. The bustling and lively archipelago was in complete and utter ruin. Shouts and screams could be heard from the groves nearby and explosions from all the way from the other side of the archipelago.

The infamous rookies that have been rising to the top of the world of piracy, the strawhat crew, was in the most dire situation they've ever been in. Everyone was injured from fighting what they thought was a warlord of the sea and ontop of that another Kuma had shown up and they were corned by a navy admiral and the navy.

Everything seemed hopeless.

Usopp Brook and Sanji were already facing toward the source of the voice with horrified looks painted across their faces.

"ZORO!" Luffy and Robin shouted from across the grove.

She stared at Zoro in horror. After spending all of her life running and running without anywhere to go or to call home she finally found it. Friends, a place to call home, her home was with the strawhat crew and that home that she had so desperately wanted for all of her life seemed as if it were about to be torn straight from her hands.

Seeing Zoro on the verge of death like that made her want to fall to her knees and start crying. She knew he couldn't take another heavy hit after the injuries he somehow obtained at Thriller Bark. She knew If Zoro got hit again then he would die, and he knew that too.

Zoro slowly turned around and towering over him was none other than the Real warlord of the sea Bartholomew Kuma.

"Tsk" he put on a painful grin.

His wounds still hadn't healed from his previous encounter with the fearsome warlord. They still clawed at his body with each breath he took making it almost unbearable for him.

"Just what we needed" he thought to himself.

"So you're still alive Roronora Zoro" Kuma said with a chillingly monotone expression on his face.

Zoro couldn't read him. He was cold, emotionless almost. That's when it hit him, something so obvious that it should have been the first thing he thought about.

2 Kumas? PX-1? What the hell was going on?

Zoro tried to stand up. He couldn't let his crew mates, his friends, get hurt anymore.

Despite his cold and unmoved demeanor, he truly cared about each and every one of his crewmates, they weren't just crewmates to him, they were his friends and he wouldn't trade them for the world.

He used the hilt of his sword to wobble his way back to his feet.

Barely standing now he faced the fearsome Warlord in the eye anticipating his next move.

"If you could take a trip anywhere in the world where would you go?" Kuma said chillingly while starting to take off his glove.

"What?" That single sentence sent chills down Zoros spine. "Take a trip? What is this guy talking about?" He thought to himself.
