"Take my head instead", he said.
"It's the only way to save the crew", he said.
"If I can't even protect my captain's dream... Then whatever ambition I have is nothing but just talk", he said.
"Luffy must be the man who becomes King of the Pirates", he screamed.
The first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates was on his knees, begging to be sacrificed by the Tyrant in order to save everything and everyone he held dear.
Sanji was on the rocks, knocked out by Zoro for trying to interrupt that serious deal. And Kuma, standing emotionless yet amused by the show these two Straw Hats had put on.
"I hope you will keep your promise after I die...", breathed Zoro.
"With my honor at stake, I will most definitely do so", said Kuma, "Luffy shall remain unharmed.".
"I will be eternally grateful", said Zoro, readying himself for what was to come.
*pppfffttt* and out came Luffy's pain and stress, all the damage endured during his fight with Oz and Moria.
"If you wish to take his place, then you must endure his suffering.", said Kuma, holding the still unconscious Luffy in his hands. "Because of your condition, all this pain will surely cause your death", he said and passed a small amount if that pain to Zoro and it hit and stung and absolutely battered him from the inside out. "Gwwwwaaaaaahhhhhhh", he screamed and fell panting.
But no matter that Zoro stood up and took it all of it, without so much as flinching....
""""""""""""
That's what Nami got out of the drunk cook.
Sanji's secret wandering off on Thriller Bark with Brook after Kuma left and Zoro's sudden lifelessness had gotten her suspicions up.
Curious as she was, coercing this out of that love-sick cook wasn't very difficult.
He collapsed onto the table and she pushed off the chair and stomped to the ship's infirmary to confront that ohh so shitty Marimo.
But when she got there, all she saw was a certain Green-haired Marimo, sound asleep on the bed.
She wanted to shout at him. Yank him off the bed and beat him to a pulp.
"What the hell was he thinking..! Going on a suicide mission like that", she screamed inwardly. If Luffy ever found out, he'd be hovering in the skies and at the same time utterly shattered at his attempted sacrifice.
But more so, after knowing about this ohh so courageous act he pulled, her respect for him skyrocketed. But respect was not the only thing that did... There was a certain emotion, something Nami could not quite comprehend, that skyrocketed too... She didn't know what it was, but it had always been there, ever since she was saved from Arlong, ever since he, even after that deadly fight with Mihawk, came to her rescue, she felt something... And it kept getting stronger every day since... Every time he looked at her, every time he smiled at her, every time he saved her and every time he got annoyed by her... Everything he did started to seem endearing to her.... She didn't understand it, and it was clawing at her from the inside, begging to be noticed....
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'''''
About a week later, Zoro was finally functional again. And being treated like a helpless old woman by all crew members was driving him nuts..!
All but one.
Nami was avoiding him. For God knows what reason the hot-headed orangette was always walking off as soon as he entered and was barely seen when he was around.
He wouldn't openly admit it, but this was really annoying him. He was, so badly, missing the orangette ordering him around and threatening to turn the already broke man into a begger. Sitting by the mast, sake in hand, he chuckled at the memories.
And out if the corner of his eye, couldn't help but notice her out on the deck, staring into the distance.
Nami, their navigator, was quite the feisty one. And probably one of the few who were actually capable of handling this band of misfits. She had always intrigued him. Her orange hair, her bright brown eyes, her crazy smile, her stubbornness, her obsession with money, everything. But most importantly, her guts. That woman had some real big balls to be with crazies like them. But that's what he had always liked and admired about her.
But now, she was ignoring him, and that was killing him. He couldn't understand why... Why she was behaving like this... Why with him... Why now... Why ANYWAY..?? Not knowing was eating at him.
He liked... No... Loved... To be ordered around by the feisty cat she was.
And now, nothing...
He slowly limped to her and as soon as he got there she glanced at him, for merely a second, and started walking when he grabbed her hand.
Nami had been standing there, on deck, lost in thought about the master swordsman. Ever since she heard of Zoro's bravery (or attempted suicide), she was so pissed at him that she couldn't even look him in the eye. All she could think about was how he could even think of doing something like that without even considering the crew's feelings. Her feelings. He probably didn't know how much she... Cared... For that Marimo. But still...
There she was trying... Trying hard... To sort out what she felt for him when suddenly she heard footsteps. She glanced to see Zoro, in all his injured glory, limping to her. She couldn't face him. Not until she figured out what to make of his so called betrayal. But as she turned to walk away, something strong and firm, held her back and spun her around.
"What the hell woman", he demanded, "Why won't you even look at me..? Did I do something to upset you..??"
Nami was too stunned to move. She wasn't expecting such a reaction from the master swordsman.
"No", she whispered, head bent and barely audible, "If you wanted to die so badly..." She broke off.
"What..?", he said, lifting her chin. She looked up to see those bright eyes of his, soft and full of concern looking at her.
"None of your concern", she said, staring at him. Her eyes were stinging now, threatening to overflow.
"You haven't been taking to me. Hell you haven't been looking at me at all", he said, the irritation clear in his voice. "Why..? I don't understand. I haven't done anything at all. So Please tell me...", he said in a soft voice.
"You went on a suicide mission...", she said gritting her teeth.
He just stood there, stunned at the fact that she, somehow, knew his secret. "And you didn't even think of the consequences. The effect it would have on the crew.. On Luffy... On me...", she trailed off.
"You're angry with me for trying to fulfill my duty..?", he demanded.
Now that does it. Nami couldn't hold back any more. She just had to let go.
"Dying is your duty..?", she screamed. "Don't you dare give me that crap Zoro..!! I know what your duty is and dying surely ain't one of them...", she continued, tears threatening to fall. "Do you have any idea what we would go through if that happened..? How would we be able to live with ourselves..? How would I ever..." She stopped when suddenly 2 string arms wrapped around her in a reassuring embrace.
"Hey... I'm still here aren't i..? Alive and moving..? So why are you so upset..?? I'm right here. I...", he was cut off by her. "I'm upset because I can't stand the thought of losing you. Your precious to this crew.. Your precious to me...", she sobbed. "And losing you... How the hell would I live with myself if that happened..?? Everyone I ever truly loved died.. My parents, Bellemere..." , she continued sobbing. "I thought I had lost the ability to care... To love... Until you guys came along... Until you came along... And saved me... Saved me from the never ending nightmare i was living..."
Was all he needed to hear. He crashed his lips to hers in a tender kiss. Her lips were soft and tender and so beautifully perfect... For a few seconds nothing happened. Nami was too shocked to do anything much less return the kiss. But before she recovered Zoro pulled back, a little disappointed with her reaction.
"I uh...", the swordsman stuttered. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to...", before he could finish, there were a pair of soft lips on his. Nami had recovered from that surprising gesture and just had to return the favor.
He didn't hesitate. Her taking charge and kissing him like that was a huge relief cuz he was beginning to think that he had made a bad matter worse...
She was the first to pull away. Her cheeks flushed she leaned and their foreheads touched and she whispered, "Baka..! Of all the people on the planet you do not have to apologize to me... Except of course for that crap you pulled on Thriller Bark"
Both of them chuckled at the comment.
"I know...", he whispered back, "And I cannot tell you how sorry I am...", he said flushing. "At that moment all I could think about was my job as first mate, fulfilling my captain's dream and all...", he continued, pulling back further. "If only I'd known sooner about the way you felt... Cuz I think I'm in love with you.. Nami... I'm pretty sure I have been for a while... I just didn't know how to tell you... Or maybe I was just afraid that you'd reject me...", he trailed off.
Nami couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as the master swordsman confessed to her. His face was so flushed, it was as red as the Sunny itself.
She let out a slight laugh and Zoro just stood there, confused as to what was so funny in what he said.
She leaned in and captured his lips in another searing kiss. This one was unlike the last, she was way more heated and aggressive. Feeling no resistance from the man in front of her, she slid her hands onto his neck and snaked to his hair. And very carefully tugged his hair before pulling him forward to deepen the kiss. That's when he bit on her lower lip, asking for entrance. Nami, loving the feeling of his lips on her, obliged and opened her mouth, just a bit. That was enough for him to slide his tongue in. He started exploring every corner of her warm cavern and Holy Hell..! She was delicious..!
His arms had already found their way around her waist and he, so slowly and erotically, moved one had up her side until it found her neck and pulled her closer to him.
It wasn't long before their tongues clashed in a battle for dominance. Their pride to large to give up or lose to the other. The kiss went on for a while until both of them pulled back to catch their breath.
Nami let out a soft chuckle as she stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "
"Apology accepted", Zoro shuddered as she breathed at his ear. "And as far as rejecting you is concerned, don't worry, cuz there's no way in hell I'd say no to someone as amazingly brave and so fiercely loyal... Not to mention so devilishly cute".
"Good.. Then I guess you wouldn't mind if I did this", he whispered as he pinned her to the mast and started trailing kisses down her neck. Her skin was so soft and inviting that he couldn't stop ravishing her. She moaned as he sprayed her will featherlight kisses before he kissed and nipped and sucked at her pulse point. She moaned louder as he nipped, creating a hickey. He then stepped back and she moaned again missing the feeling of him in her. He stepped back and grinned with pride and admiration at the purple mark he made on her silky skin.
"Hey... I'm sorry for the silent treatment... I just wasn't sure what to say... After what Sanji..", she was cut off by Zoro. "So it was that shit cook who's been babbling about it..!! That curly-brow..!! I'm gonna kill him..!", he roared.
"Whoa..! Slow down there tiger. If I'd not gotten that out of Sanji, I wouldn't be avoiding you. You wouldn't have confronted me and this...", she continued as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "... Wouldn't be happening...", she finished.
"True...", he said grinning. He lazily put his hand on her waist and pulled her closer. "I guess I should thank him then...", he whispered into her ear.
"Maybe later...", purred Nami as she traced her finger down his chest. "We should take this inside... Before anyone sees us...." She trailed off.
"I'm betting that they already did", he chuckled. "But I guess we should...", he said as he picked her up, all bridal style. "Zoro..!!", cried Nami and chuckled as he walked, with her in his arms. He leaned down and gave her a slight peck on the lips and stormed to the back of the deck, opened the side door and kicked it close after walking in...
