The thief who stole the swordsman's heart (zoro fan fic)

Chapter 17

I looked at Nami, Usopp, and Chopper, they looked better, a lot better. Nami's hair had gotten longer and now curled delicately over her shoulders and down to her waist. She had gotten taller and skinner and had become more 'defined' in some areas. Usopp looked better and more built he had a small beard and had gotten taller. He looked cuter and if I wasn't with Zoro I would have given him some serious thought. Now, Chopper looked adorable, he had grown and had a different hat on, he looked wiser i guess.

I smiled and picked up Chopper, "you look so ADORABLE" I obsessed, I put him at arms length, squealed and pulled him in for another hug. I put him down and look to Usopp, "you look better" I say to him, I jump and hear Nami gasp. I turn around to see Sanji had a serious nose bleed, "holy crap" I say to him running over to a stand and getting a cloth, pressing it in his hand. I turn back to Nami to see Kaity hugging her like crazy, I snicker and look around.

I was smiling like a fool, I couldn't help it, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I was now on the ship, which had been coated with something so that when we went to fishman island the pressure wouldn't kill us. Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro had gone to get Luffy and would no doubt make themselves known that we were still alive and not dead as everyone thought we were. "Yohohoho" I hear laughter and my smile widens, I turn around as someone lands on the deck. "Brook" I say, I took a second to, take in his appearance, he had a orange feather boa around his neck and he had gotten a new guitar shaped like a fish.

I smile at him and turn around and look at Franky, he had shaved his head but could make his hair 'grow' back when he pressed his nose, don't ask me how it just does, he had 'remolded' himself and he now looked like a robot more than a human, he freaked Chopper and Usopp out when he talked like a robot. I shake my head as he does it again, and again, they freak out.

I hear Robin laugh behind me, I turn to her, she had gotten taller, her hair was straight with tendrils of her bangs coming around to frame her face. I smiled as I hear Chopper's voice ring out, "we're back" I whirl around and my eyes land on the person I had been waiting to see, "hey guys" Luffy yells and I couldn't help the laugh that bubbled up inside of me.

He wasn't that much different, he had just gotten taller and his hat looked more worn down. I smile and wave to him, "hi Luffy" I yell, when he lands on the deck and following him Sanji (who had another nose bleed), Chopper, and Zoro. My heart suddenly felt whole and I felt giddy, i'm finally home, I thought just as a cannon hit the water next to us.
