Zoro's Fears

Zoro had been watching impatiently as Law treated Luffy's wound. "Zoro we need to move soon, before the Navy comes here." Robin stated as Usopp nodded. He sighed looking at the dome wanting you to come out. "We can't leave her behind." Law nodded. "If we have to hold off the Navy we will, but we wait for her. I at least want my crew mates body to bury." Zoro shook his head. "Y/N won't kill her. I know that look she had. It wasn't her blood lust look. She had a determined look she'll do whatever she thinks is best before even considering killing her." Zoro couldn't help but feel terrified knowing that. He knew you wouldn't kill her she was your friend. You mourned over her. He was scared you would throw the fight and let her kill you. "She has people waiting for her." Zoro looked hearing Robin speak up. "She promised Chopper she'd be the test subject for his latest medicine. She told me and Nami she'd let us give her a small makeover. Sanji made her promise to help him cook. Franky wanted to have her help him with a crazy underwater gadget. Usopp wanted to go underwater. Brook wanted to play music with her. She told you that she wanted to be with you. Last but not least, Luffy had said he wanted to play tag with her. She has a reason to live. She won't back down." Zoro smirked nodding knowing she was right. "Y/N promised me to take a nap after this." Law looked down knowing all of them were worried for you. He was worried more for B/FN. His crew mate. "They'll both be alright." He looked up seeing Robin smile at him.

"I don't have time for this!" You threw a water ball at her seeing her catch it turning it quickly into mist. "I think it's obvious who's the stronger one here with magic." You glared at it as it laughed. "Yea I am. I'm still attacking you while keeping this huge dome over us. Not to mention I'm injured." She smirked seeing you wave your hand making a small mist of water. "You sure you wanna continue this fight? I promise you when I fight for people I care for...I never lose." "Enough chit chat! I'm so tired of hearing my friends this or my friends that!" You sighed making a dagger. "Your right. I don't have time for this. I need to end this. I want my friend so I can go straight out of here back into the arms of my bonded and on the ship with everyone I care for. I know I do talk about my friends a lot.." You smiled widely before turning the dagger into a katana, "But it's because I finally know what it's like to be loved. And I don't want to waste anymore time on stuff like this from the past. B/FN deserves to move on. I defeated the dark god. I have no problem fighting you. I spent most of my life wanting to die..I forgot what it felt like to want to live and now that I know that feeling..I will never let it go." You snapped your fingers letting your hair turn back into a turquoise. "I'm ending this."

Zoro sat down letting out a yawn as he kept staring at the dome waiting for you to emerge. Law had finished patching up Luffy. He wanted nothing more than to enter the dome and stop you and save B/FN, but no one could get in. It was then a thought came to him. When they had been trapped in your dome before, Zoro will always be let in. "Zoro-ya..do you think you could go in there?" Zoro shook his head, "No I'll just get in her way." Law sighed before looking at Zoro. "That's never stopped you before-" "She said none of us goes in there. I won't break her trust in me." Zoro interrupted Law. "I want her safe. Believe me I want nothing more than to go in there, but I know she's gonna win. I just have to be patient. She'll come out soon. Both of them will." Law could sense Zoro felt more, but could see he was trying to hide it. He had just bonded with you. It literally was tearing him from the inside not protecting you and not jumping in, but he held all of his feelings and reserves back, so he continued to sit and watch. No matter how bad it hurt.

Standing up on shaky legs, you panted feeling waves of exhaustion hit you. If only you hadn't lost control earlier.. You knew to help reserve energy you'd need to drop the dome, but this thing in front of you was strong. It was a small part of the dark god. You may have defeated the dark god, but this thing seemed more stronger than that even with the goddess helping you, you were struggling. It had B/FN strength along with it's own. Stabbing your sword into the ground, you used it to lift yourself up seeing It approach you. "I can see your in pain. Do you wish to stop?" You shook your head steadying your feet. "I can do this. Besides, you seem to be in more pain than I am. Sure I'm the injured one bleeding, but your eyes. Your eyes look so tired. They hold so much hurt in them. You really don't understand why your alive huh? Why you want to cause so much misery upon others? Tell me have you ever felt the hold of someone you cared for? Oh wait have you ever cared for someone deeply?" They began to shake as you raised your hand strengthening the dome. "I'm surprised that a human being is capable of understanding or well trying to understand how I feel." You looked up giving a tight smile as it raised it's hand making a black katana. "Would you like to continue?" Nodding quickly, you calmed yourself before calling out to the Goddess for help. "She won't come. I am just a little to scary for her-" The Goddess appeared behind you, as it stared in shock. "Don't doubt her. And besides..I know exactly what I need to do." You dropped the dome seeing Zoro immediately stand up seeing the goddess behind you. "And what exactly is that-" It's eyes widened seeing the ground begin to shake. "I'm not holding back anything at all. Losing control sometimes...isn't a bad thing." Zoro froze seeing your body begin to do what it had done before. "Y/N NO-" "I HAVE TO ZORO!!! IT'S OKAY THOUGH I PROMISE!!! I'LL STOP IT THIS TIME AGAIN!!!" Zoro shook his head feeling the fear he felt earlier crawl back up quickly. "I CAN'T LET YOU DO THIS AGAIN!" Zoro ran trying to stop you before feeling his body be yanked back, "ROOM!!" Law had traded places with him before grunting feeling an your water explosion hit him. "GODDESS OF THE SEA I COMMAND THEE LET'S SMITE THIS BITCH!"
