Cursed Hearts

4. The sub-boss

1 hour later, headquarters of Palle

Zoro's pov

While everyone is waiting for Robin and Usopp, Luffy and I are playing together on a card game

Ugh I'm so bored...

Even if talk with Luffy about his relationship and his hyperfixations is kinda fun, I can't help feeling useless.

The mission was today and we did nothing at all ! All of this for « protecting our weak boss » because she is too afraid to protect herself.

We don't even know if Robin and Usopp succeeded to kidnap the guy !

Luffy: And then the dinosaur ate the guy !!

I sigh loudly and Luffy look at me

L: What's wrong ? Did I talked too long ?

It's true that when Luffy starts to talk about dinosaurs, it could take a whole year..

Zoro: I'm just sick of Nami's paranoia ! We should be with Robin and Usopp ! What if the guy don't let himself do huh ?! Plus we are the sub-bosses !!

L: I understand what you're saying. It makes me angry too. But think about it, our sniper and our contract killer are smart. They know what they're doing.

I sigh again

Z: Maybe you're right.. Let's just wait.

I take down my last cards

Z: I win.

I smile victoriously while Luffy is surprised

L: Again ?! Arf it's not fair!! How do you do that ?!

I grin

The real question is how he can be that bad in such a simple game..

L: I don't want to play anymore.

He looks like a five years old kid..

L: Now I'm bored.

Z: If you're that bored, you can call.. what was his name?

Luffy take an excited look and I smile softly

L: You mean Torao?!

Z: Yeah, « Torao »

I think it's the nickname he gives to the boss of Surger..?

Oh it's true that you guys don't know. Let me explain: Palle is associated with other organizations named Roux, The Sprades and Surger. The boss of Surger, I think his real name is Trafalgar Law, is the boyfriend of Luffy ( Even if they don't want to admit it, don't ask it's too complicated..). Nobody knows except me and the witch.
They think that they're discret but they're definitely not. You just have to look at the face of Luffy when I've mentioned Law..

L: You're right I should call him ! Nami doesn't need us immediately ! I hope he's free !

I sigh with a smile
