Luffy, Hanako, Zoro, and Nami are heading to Syrup Village, where maybe they can find a better and bigger boat for them. Hanako's wound was not healing it may be because of the shock and her transformation that she is a bit weak, she watched Zoro walk up to her and took a seat next to her. The mermaid and bounty hunter both stayed quiet, nor of them said a word to each other Hanako was afraid that they would all find out.
"Let me help you with your wounds Hanako" Zoro said to her while nodding to him giving Zoro the kit for her wounds. Hanako looks away from Zoro not saying a word, not a single thing to him because her being a mermaid was the reason why she does not want to join luffy's crew.
"What happened to the confident Hanako?" Zoro said to her while earning a chuckle from her.
"That confident Hanako is hiding not wanting to be seen right now" she said to him while finally looking at Zoro with a sad smile on her face.
"Let me guess is it because of your transformation yesterday when that clown put you in a water tank" Zoro said while fixing her bandages on her wounds, he then kneeled down to put ointment on her feet while she looks away from him again.
"This is why I didn't want you guys to see it because every pirate and bounty hunter will do what ever it takes to have me in their possession all for the grand line" Hanako said to him while tears running down her cheeks
"Listen Hanako no pirate nor bounty hunter will take you away from us I promise"
"I want to believe you, Zoro...bu-but I'm scared that I will never get my freedom" Hanako said while more tears are pouring down her eyes, while Zoro finishes tending to her wounds soon he put both hands on her cheek to make all her tears disappear from her face.
"I will make sure that you have freedom Hanako because you deserve much more then just freedom, you deserve to have more happiness and love then freedom and I will sure that you get that love and happiness that you never had before" Zoro said to her while Hanako looks at Zoro with a surprise yet shocking expression on her face but gives him a big smile and 'thanks' him.
Soon, Zoro tell Nami about the toilet being broken so she ran to see that the boat was taking in sea water, that mean that they have to find another boat. Once, they landed to Syrup Village Luffy takes care of the other boat that Nami told him to take care of that, Hanako stayed with Zoro walking to see all the pirates bounty. Zoro was shocked to see buggy the clown's bounty but luffy called them so they both walked to luffy and Nami, while he puts an arm around Hanako shoulder making her blush a bit.
Luffy was talking to a tan guy about wanting to buy that boat from him, but it does not belong to him it's from his rich female friend. We all looked at each other and then at Usopp, who was giving all of us a smile taking them to his rich friend's house after an hours of walking they arrived to a mansion looking at some people, who look like they work here. Everyone was looking around the garden because it was really beautiful while Zoro was behind Hanako looking around to the surroundings of the mansion.
Hanako P.O.V
While, looking around a working from the mansion stopped Usopp saying that he is not welcome here anymore but he didn't care about what the man said to him just then another voice came out of no where. We all saw a man walking to the stairs wearing a butler outfit while Zoro looks at him a bit carefully thinking that the butler looks a bit familiar. The Butler was telling him and us to leave the manor but then a female voice came from direction where the butler came from and the female name Kira had invited us for her Birthday dinner but her butler disagreed with her until she begged him to allow them to stay.
We all walked inside to take a shower and to get dress after I was finished taking a nice warm shower, I heard knocking from the other side of the door to hear Zoro calling my name. "hey it's me are you almost done" he said to while I put on robe opening the bathroom door looking at him with a small smile on my face. While, I looked at him and getting out of the bathroom to hear Zoro walk behind me while grabbing my wrist to see if I was okay, but I looked away from him not wanting to see his gaze from me. "Hanako are you okay, why are you not looking at me did I do something to you or -" I cut him mdi sentence while holding back my tears.
"T-Those people that work here, I know them a-and I'm scared of them Zoro like really scared e-especial the b-butler" I said to him while starting to tear up a bit while he brings me to his arms rubbing my back gently telling me 'it's going to be okay'. So we walked to where Luffy and Nami are at, in a room full of clothes we both looked around and Nami gave me a purple dress with some pretty gold star designs on it so I went to put it on while Nami and luffy were bickering about him telling Kira about the merry ship and make a deal they stopped bickering and looked at me coming out wearing the dress and Zoro looked at me too. They all saw me making my cheeks burn a bit Zoro could not stop looking at me while Nami and luffy were telling me that I look pretty and nice with the dress while Zoro had a black shirt on him.
