A Long Lost Roronoa [One Piece]

02: It's...

"RORONOA ZORO!" the cloaked figure screamed, raising its sword.

With a downwards slash Zoro jumped away, evading the blade. Pulling out his own sword to defend, he fought back, pushing his enemy toward the edge of the ship. Realizing the difference in strength between them, the green-haired man decided to end it quickly and ask questions later.

'I don't have time for this,' Zoro thought and went into his stance for his cannon attack.

"Crap," he muttered, remembering he can't damage the ship, he sheathed his sword, but didn't release his grip.

"Ittoryu Iai," he muttered, "Shishi Sonson!"

With a sudden unsheathing technique, Zoro stood behind his opponent.

'What the hell? It felt like I didn't cut through anything.'

He turned around and saw that the cloaked figure gone. Then a presence appeared near the ladder of the ship.

"Over there!" he shouted, gripping the Shusei's handle and sliced in the direction.

"WAAAHHHH!" a familiar voice cried out.

Looking over the edge, the swordsman saw Usopp hanging upside down on the ladder, only holding on with his feet. His eyes were bulging out and his mouth open in shock.

"Oh it's just you."

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! I COULD'VE DIED!"

"You're fine."

Ignoring his crewmate's shouts, Zoro glanced around searching for whoever attacked him. The presence vanished completely.

"Who the hell was that?" he muttered under his breath. 

"Who, Zoro?" the sniper asked as he crawled over the edge. 

"Nothing."

"Hurry up, let's get back on the ship," Nami rushed, "I don't want to find out who's house that was anytime soon."

"Yosh," Luffy shouted, "Don't forget my dog!"

"Leave him," she said, hitting him, "We're not taking him."

Pulling up the bags of fruit they gathered, they noticed the arrival of Robin, Franky, and Brook with their hands full of food. Thankfully, they acquired enough to fill the cabinets and crates in the storage. However, they still needed more.

"Sanji," Luffy shouted, "Food! Food! Make something quick."

"Okay," he grinned and strode to the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves.

"Once everyone is on, Franky, move the ship near that cliff side," Nami ordered.

At the other end of the ship, Usopp strode over to Zoro who was tending to his swords. He raised his hand next to his mouth and whispered.

"Oi, were you fighting someone earlier?"

He frowned, ignoring the sniper's curiosity and continued focusing on his weapons. He didn't even know what happened during that time. The sudden disappearance of his attacker was strange, but he had to keep his guard up.

All of a sudden Brook runs out of the boy's quarters with his arms raised in the air. He screamed about finding someone sleeping in one of the beds. Everyone except Zoro ran over to see who it was and if they were a threat. 

Peeking through the doorway they saw a lump under the covers of one of the hammocks. From the size of the bump it appeared to belong to someone with a small figure.
