Little sister [Zoro x F!reader]

11

A/N: Hey, I was out for two months and I want to talk about it. I was in a hard state of mind and for some time now I just couldn't get myself to do anything and that didn't help my stress level. I will never forget how hard was for me to just talk to people that wanted to help. I need to make sure all of you that maybe have this problem, or any other, just take your time, and when you feel a bit better find a friend, family member, or a stranger on internet... it doesn't matter, just find someone you know you can tell things, just to talk, to vent and be there for you with more understanding than comments. Just make sure you have your mental health in the first place. As someone that just went through a rough patch, I have to make sure that people around me are fine too and I care about you since you guys are like *I can't find the word that you guys make me feel* I feel special when I see you reading my stuff. Don't worry I got my haircut and cleaned my room so now everything is good.

MY POV

You were racing towards the noise of the battle.

"_____!" You turned around to see Wednesday running towards you.

"Wednesday-chan! I was looking all over for you what is going on over there?"

"You have to leave this island! Listen, everyone here is a bounty hunter, just leave, it's for your safety. I'm sorry but it's our job... but I couldn't just leave you, you were so good to me."

"Thank you, but I have to go and help others to escape too."

"You can't beat all of them."

"I think we are pretty sure, don't worry we will work something out." You were leaving the light blue-haired girl in disbelief and a bit of worry. This is your decision and she needs to do her part.

You came to the conclusion soon enough that Zoro doesn't really need help and that, it seems these bounty hunters are pretty weak. Still, you knew that he will need help to get back to everyone once he finishes.

YOUR POV

Just a bit more, but now, Luffys scent came, before Zoros, is Luffy helping Zoro?

Tangerines?

"Waaah-" something hit me. "Oh, God! _____! I'm sorry are you alright? I thought you are one of them...."

"Nami, aah" my head was throbbing, she has a powerful swing. "Yes, I'm fine. Where is everyone?"

"Sanji-kun and Usopp are still asleep but Luffy and Zoro are probably out here rampaging. These guys want to kill us!"

"They are bounty hunters, Wednesday-chan told me, but it seems that guys don't need help."

"You go to the bar and wake up guys, Merry is near and I'll take Luffy and Zoro and get ready to set sail. We need to leave before these guys wake up." Nami somehow already had a plan. I haven't even think about what would I do when I get to Zoro.

I need to get the guys. My head is still hurting. Am I bleeding?

"See ya soon then" I waved a little and went to the bar.

~~

MY POV

Sanji helped you to get Usopp to the ship, but others were nowhere to be seen. You briefed the guys from what you knew but that wasn't much, from what Wednesday told you, you just need to get out of this place.

Usopp was faking another really-not-believable-illness and went under the deck so no one can find him.

After some time running figures were heard shouting in your direction.

"Set sail, we are going right away!"

"Nami-swaaan~ did the Log Pose found another destination?" Sanji was delighted to see Nami.

You were busy with the sails and Usopp was doing his best to help others on board. Soon you were looking at the Whiskey Peak.

"Listen up, we need to help Vivi and make sure she gets home," Luffy informed briefly.

"Don't forget the thing where WE are the targets now too." Nami smacked him on the head, but the time for explanation was not right.

"What?!!" Usopp was again freaking out

"Who has my Nami-san on its hit list?" Sanji was in flames ready to fight everyone that was breathing.

Vivi, on the other hand, wasn't in high spirits like others, she was looking at the sea with sadness in her eyes. You wondered what happened, but then again you needed to make sure ship is going away from the Island full of enemies. Zoro jumped up and helped you with the mainsail and as soon as you let it loose and tied it up and the wind hit it Merry got the boost and Cactus Island was soon invisible in the night.

Sunrise brought a better day and a new, real friend on the crew. Vivi, princess of the kingdom Alabasta located on the Sandy Islands, desert kingdom ruled by her father, but underground organization Baroque Works are pulling the strings and people are starting to doubt the royal family. According to Vivi, the biggest problem is the lack of rain in the last period. Alabasta was always lacking rain, but never there was a lack of water this much. The princess was describing the kingdom, her childhood and how much it changed. There was much more worry about other people that are suffering than her safety. Her selflessness was what made you give her second chance without much thought. She did what she had to do for others, she never thought about herself and you knew that is much more admirable than your conviction and acts.

The route you were going was suspiciously calm and the weather was nice. Everyone had their chores and after them "free time". Vivi was getting in the routine of the crew and everyone was going around helping her to adjust to new surroundings. Sanji was making new desserts for all of you girls, Nami was watching the weather, course and the idiots playing around. Luffy and Usopp were playing around and fishing or just pranking each other.

"Again!" Your voice cracked a bit as you got up, grabbing your sword. Zoros gaurd was up and you couldn't get him to move, he was a master swordsman, yet, he didn't have any attack that was good enough for the Grand Line. With one sword he can defend and but he can attack only so much, only someone smaller or lighter than him would be knocked down like you were now for few times.

"What do you want?" He asked you now irritated a bit because you didn't let him lift his weight or sleep, you just kept attacking.

"Just wait!" You jumped and slashed in his way, your attack was read but that was the intent. Day before you got Usopp to make you smoke bombs and when cut they will explode, about 2 meters (about 6 ft) of smoke would lunch from the bomb. Your strategy won't do much to distract him, you had about half a second to get to where you wanted to be, Zoro can fight in the smoke too. Your steps were light, you weren't a swords master, but you are good in your footwork and that, you knew, was your biggest strength. You got him, your sword now in your left hand and the tip of it on his neck. "See?"

"What? I knew that you can beat me with a trick or two..."

"Well in a real fight people use tricks to win, you need to be ready for everything, even attacking without swords, one sword, two of them. We already talked about it when Mihawk broke your swords, but you didn't get much done, you keep on lifting weights, that won't get your sword skills up!"

"A real swordsman won't use tricks to win."

"You can't be sure you will fight honorable swordsmans' in your life. There will be people that won't blink twice on your rules, you can't be sure you will beat everyone as easy as you did all others."

"Fine, I'll do my best to get stronger."

"That is not what I am talking about, Zoro, you need to have more options, you need to make new techniques and make sure you can use them in a lot of different setups."

The night was getting closer and Zoro was now making sure he listen to you no matter how much he wanted to sleep, you were on the rant with a lot of scenarios that can happen while shooting the lightning in the ocean. Weak small yellow strings of lightning were coming out of your right little finger, other fingers or any other part of the body didn't want to cooperate.
