Cursed Hearts

5. The hostage

??: Now it's between you and me curly brow.

Sanji's pov

I can't see a shit. I can't move either. All I understand is that I've been tricked by the contract killer and a man who probably is a sniper. Now, I'm in an unknown place with an unknown person who wants to make me talk.

I think about the voices I heard before, I guess with it that the human in front of me is a man who have authority on the others. Probably a high-ranking of Palle. Did they mention « Mister Rononoa ? ». Holy shit I think it's one of the sub-boss..

My position is very uncomfortable and I want to scream and yell at myself. I fucked up so much ! Now I'm the hostage of Palle !

While I insult my own person, I feel a gaze on me.

??: So your name is Vinsmoke Sanji huh ?

What the heck ? How did they know that ?!

Sanji: Take that name out of your mouth.

??: Or what ?

I grid my teeth

Tch. I just don't want people to associate me with the Vinsmoke family.

??: It's kinda curious for a son of a prestigious family as the Vinsmoke family to be a sub-boss of a little mafia..

S: Shut up ! I am not one of them !

I don't see who is talking to me but he already gets me on my nerves.

My wrists start to hurt because of the rope around them and the mention of my « family » made me feel annoyed and a bit agressive

S: What do you want ?! And who are you ?!

??: First, I ask the questions. Next I accept to respond to your second question.

Huh?

??: But it will be better if you see me.

What ?

I feel two hands approaching on my face, the warm of them are confusing me a little. The guy remove the thing that kept me from seeing.

The light dazzles me and I slowly discover my environment.

It's a small and simple room, with grey walls and no windows. Only one way to leave: the big iron door behind the man.

Talking about the devil, I can now see the man who was talking to me earlier.

He is tall and have a well designed frame. On his face, I notice a huge scar on his left eye and guess another on his chest because of the shirt which was half-open. He wear a very simple suit with a belt which could hold three swords.

A swordsman...

The thing who get my attention is his hair: bro it's look like a green alga.. The nickname « Mosshead » would be appropriate lmao..

But nevermind. I have to make a plan for escaping or the old man will get crazy.

The question is how the fuck can I get out of here ?

The man stares at me

??: For answering to your question, my name's Zoro, Rononoa Zoro.

What a weird name.. But shit I was right.. This man is one of the sub-boss of Palle...

S: You weren't forced to answer..

Zoro: But I did, you asked once and now you have your answer so you won't ask questions again.
