Adventures of the Roronoa Family

The Charmed Encounter - Part 1

 A/N: This will have more fighting and intense scenes vs other one shots I've done so far in this series. Part 1 isn't as intense as part 2, but I hope you all like the ending of part 2.

Embarking on their next adventure, the Straw Hat crew found themselves in a rare moment of peace as they set out for the next island.

In a quiet corner of the deck, Zoro and Robin sat together quietly talking. The early evening's sun casted a golden glow on them.

"So, you did say you're okay with us having an actual wedding ceremony, right?" Robin asked again looking up at Zoro.

He smiled down at Robin and nodded. "I already told you; I want the day to be about you, so whatever you want is fine with me."

"Well, what would you think about getting married on an island then? Maybe a spring island? I think it would be pretty to have plenty of cherry blossoms surrounding us." Robin suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Zoro couldn't help but smile more at Robin's excitement, "As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we are," he replied, his gruff voice softened with affection.

Nearby, Olivia played with a small, intricately crafted version of the Thousand Sunny, a gift from Franky. Her laughter, pure and uninhibited, filled the air, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.

Robin turned her head to watch Olivia for a moment, "She's so happy here, with everyone. It's hard to believe how quickly she's growing."

Zoro followed Robin's gaze to their daughter. "Yeah, she's strong and beautiful, like her mother." He said as he pulled Robin closer to his side.

As they continued to discuss their plans, the rest of the Straw Hat crew went about their tasks with an unusual air of joviality. Luffy was perched at the ship's head, gazing eagerly towards the horizon, while Sanji prepared a special meal in the kitchen. Nami charted their course, occasionally glancing over at the engaged couple and their daughter with a soft smile.

Usopp and Chopper were having a playful debate, while Brook strummed his guitar.

High above the crew, Franky sat on watch, keeping an eye on the horizon for any potential dangers or islands.

As the sun began to sink further towards the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Robin leaned further into Zoro, her head resting on his shoulder. "This will be an exciting new chapter for us," Robin mused.

The Thousand Sunny sailed peacefully, the laughter and chatter of the Straw Hat crew blending harmoniously with the sounds of the sea. However, this serene moment was abruptly interrupted when Franky shouted from the crow's nest, "Ship approaching! Starboard side!"

The crew instantly sprang into action, their relaxed demeanor replaced by focused alertness. Luffy, with his innate sense of adventure, was the first to reach the starboard, his eyes narrowing as he surveyed the approaching vessel. "Who are they?" he murmured, more curious than concerned.

The ship in question was grand and ominous, its black sails billowing against the sky. Emblazoned on the sails was an emblem – a siren entwined with a heart – the insignia of the Charmed Pirates.

Nami, joining Luffy with her telescope in hand, observed the ship. "They're not flying a government flag... but I've never seen that symbol before."

"It's the Charmed Pirates," Robin said, her voice laced with a hint of recognition. "Their captain, Sirena Vex, is known for her use of the Charm-Charm Fruit. She can bend people to her will."
