Summary
Luffy loves his swordsman, more than anyone else in the world. But, he hates that this is what Zoro’s become. Hates that Zoro’s entire existence has become solely for his crew. His swordsman lies at every turn, tries to pretend that Water 7 and Enies Lobby haven’t torn him to shreds. Ignores young Sanji’s concern over the way he reopens the wound on his hand, just to tame the panic that tries to settle in.
It’s become painfully obvious that Zoro is so exhausted he can barely stand and he stumbles his way out of their quarters to head for the shipyard. Because he doesn’t want the others to see what he’s about to do. Luffy walks beside him, grabbing his arm, screaming and crying for him to stop
“Please, go back to your nakama, Zoro! Please, just go sleep. It’s gonna be okay. Please don’t. Please stop. Zoro, please!”
Zoro continues as if Luffy isn’t there. Because, to the swordsman, he isn't.or
Ghost Luffy watches his swordsman fall apart and desperately wishes he knew how to fix it. (A companion one shot to The Next Right Thing)
