The Knight in Shining Armor [One Piece X OC]

Desperate Situation!

3rd's POV

The cannon ball fired towards the crew destroying another large amount of the town. Aphrodite landed on a roof supporting a hurt Zoro while carrying Luffy who was still in the cage. Noticing that Zoro was dripping heavy blood "Zoro! Are you okay?!" Aphrodite shouted worried "How badly are you injured?!" she continued her eyes getting teary

"Just shut up! I need to concentrate if I want us all to get out of this!" Zoro snapped then he proceeded to carry the cage all by himself despite Aphrodite's protests

"Aren't you tired!?" Zoro snapped at the poor red haired girl

"Who are these guys?" Nami mumbled as she landed near them

"Hey Luffy, who's this girl?" Zoro asked

"Oh right, she's our new navigator." Luffy replied bluntly

Then Zoro proceeded to carry the whole cage on his back despite his injury "Zoro, I'm not sure you should carry him!" Aphrodite protested

"Move! Your in the way!" Zoro yelled at her

"Zoro. What I'm about to do next..I'm sorry." Aphrodite said confusing Zoro before punching him in the gut until he was knocked out and then carried him over her shoulder and lifting Luffy's cage over her back causing her hands to go white

"I guess even a lowly pirate can rescue their friend." Nami mumbled under her breath having a face of worry then she turned and walked the other way

Meanwhile...

"Those four think they can mock me!? Screw that! I'm considering this act of aggression a declaration of war!" Buggy said extremely annoyed, angry and ..alive! Bursting through thick smoke emerged a large lion "There you are, Mohji."

"I hope you don't mind if 'I' take the pirate hunter's head." Mohji asked his Captain

"Heheh, go ahead. Be my guest. Just as long as you leave the red haired girl's head for me." Buggy replied darkly 'I swear you remind of that-no it can't be true!'

Back to Aphrodite...

Dragging an unconscious Zoro as well as a cage that contained Luffy proved to be hard work, but Aphrodite got it done. No matter how tired she felt. She then stopped in front of a pet shop to catch her breath putting one hand on her Luffy's cage for support while the other was holding onto Zoro who was bleeding heavily.

Noticing a presense in front of her she looked forward and she saw a dog, dropping Zoro immediately on the ground unintentionally exclaiming "Awwww..There's a dog!" she said with sparkles in her eyes and hearts in the background

"Aw..a doggy." Luffy grinned still trapped inside the cage, then Luffy moved the cage closer to the dog so he could potentially pet it while Aphrodite observed the cute scene forgetting that Zoro was on the ground.

The dog didn't even blink disappointing Aphrodite.

Luffy decided to make a funny face to cheer up the dog.

Still no response.

Moving from her spot Aphrodite lifted Zoro from the ground and sat against the steps of the pet shop with Zoro's head rested on her lap.

"Hey Ro this dogs looks like it's frozen." Luffy stated informing his friend

"Scientifically the dog is not frozen and it is just in a trance. Like when spacing out." Aphrodite informed the younger boy while checking over Zoro's injuries

"I wonder if it's dead?" Luffy questioned curiously

"It is absolutely not." Aphrodite stated irritated with the carefree boy "you shouldn't probably touch him though."
