ZERO / prologue.

⚔︎

BECOMING PART OF a pirate crew was never on kumar anjali's to-do list. nevertheless, things change and bring upon new experiences one doesn't seek.

that, or it washes back the old, unwanted, and painfully attractive roronoa zoro into her barely manageable life.

with an almost decade long rage that had accumulated over time, anjali (under the once endearing moniker 'pearl') would rather ignore than remember the memories she once shared with the fated pirate hunter, and ignore the eggshell colored sword located at his hilt.

one belonging to a best friend she had never gotten the chance to see grow up.

with a secret tying her down and a bridge to fully burn, anjali fully expects to finally cut ties once and for all with her not so pleasant past.

zoro, however, having lived with years of pent up ill-feelings towards everything really, isn't so keen to letting that happen.

he demands answers, reasons, and perhaps the time to get to revel once more in the presence of his (or shall he say, eight-year-old zoro's) first love.
