My One Piece (Book I)

Chapter-31 The New Beginning.

COCO-YASHI VILLAGE,
CONOMI ISLAND...

The night falls short...
The Village and the villagers after a very long time enjoying the festival of freedom..
For 8 years, Arlong and his Minions been terrorizing the islands but because of The Straw Hat Pirates,
They are finally free.

Nami is sitting on the balcony of her house watching the happy faces on her villagers.
Sanji is serving delicious meal for everyone on the village and flirting with every women he came across...
Ussop as usual telling ridiculous made up stories about his glory adventures and for some reason, everyone's buying it.
Luffy being him as usual stuffing his belly with food.
Zoro is been treated at the Coco-Yashi hospital and getting rest for the time being.

Nami and Nojiko were with Zoro but he refuses to even look at Nami, insisting he wants to be alone and get some rest.
Nami still with a sad look agreed and got out.

"What's his deal anyway..?
You must've did a real number on him to be this angry..
He doesn't even look at your face, Nami..!" Nojiko ask with a suspicious smirk,

"I got no choice, Nojiko..!
From day one when i get on board with Luffy and others,
I felt something that i haven't felt in years... Joy..! Happiness..! Fun..!
I was getting too attached to them..
Especially to him..
Even simple conversation and arguments with him only drew me closer to him.
But considering what i was supposed to do to get our Village back from Arlong, i did what i thought was right. Even though Luffy, Ussop and Sanji understands why i did all that, Zoro still refuse to forgive me.
I need a lot more time to gain his trust again." Nami says looking at Zoro through a window,

"Oh My God, Nami..!
You and that Swordsman..?
I never thought my sister is capable of having these kinda feelings.." Nojiko says teasing Nami with a laugh,

"Shut up..!
It's not like that..
Besides he's not the romantic type of guy as far as i know.
To be honest, i don't think he'll ever get any feelings towards any women..
He's stubborn as a rock.." Nami says with a shrug walking away with Nojiko,

"What about the blonde one..?
He seems kinda nice and a Gentleman..!" Nojiko ask with a smirk,

"Who, Sanji..?
Well he's polar opposite of Zoro.
Zoro's not interested in any woman,
Sanji is interested in every women." Nami says with a sigh and a giggle to which Nojiko giggle aswell

After long hours,
Everyone is partying, Luffy and Ussop were dancing with the Villagers,
Nami and Nojiko were drinking sake watching The Villagers dance and talking sisterly stuffs when Sanji is just being a servant of Ladies.

Zoro walked in rubbing his back head toward the party.
People received him like a hero with cheers and applaud, thanking him for all his efforts..
They offered him barrels of sake which he accepted with a wide grin.
He walked to Sanji giving food for everyone,

"Ohhh, Someone seems hungry..!" Sanji says with a smirk,

"Shut up and give me something good to eat, I'm hungry..!
It's the least you can do considering i saved your ass from the fishman.." Zoro says with a smirk,

"What..? I saved your ass.." Sanji says with an eyebrow rise,

"You don't even get your hands dirty." Zoro says with hands crossed,

"Atleast i don't need three Swords to prove I'm a man..!" Sanji says with a mocking smirk,

Zoro with a glare picked up the plate and walked away while Sanji just laughed it off.
