I look around only seeing zoro and I went by him, he turn his head in greeting to me"so u come out of hiding" I huff"no I wasn't there all the time I left the ship from time to time....only nami and robin new I was out "I told him he nod looking back out of the open sea I join him in that" so I heard u may lik-"he cut me on"I'm not gay!" I giggle slightly"I never said u were I was only asking if u ever thought about being with guys that's all" I said as he huffs thinking of a way to get me back "u and ace huh?" Crap

"H-how" I stutter then I curse mentally robin!!!! Namiiiii!!!! I thought as he chuckle seeing me so fluster" u know what u want to do?" he ask me I shrug" not really I mean I haven't felt this way in a very looong time" told him as I floated a bit he turns his body around as he looks at me a bit cunfused" how come?" He pounders 

I made almon come to view and made a note for the others and sat down "come sit zoro...if u want to know"I said and he did we floated up and travel"where we going?"he ask"back to where it began " I told him 

Robin

As me and nami where talking I notice I haven't seen zoro or zeal sneaking around "hey nami u seen zoro or zeal?"I ask her she shook her head"maybe their in the watch tower?" I shrug "maybe let's check" I told her she nodded suddenly feeling worry for them as we went up,I notice a letter on the small table and the window open"look it must be from one of them"nami said I open the letter and let nami read with me 

Dear person or people who reads and find this note,

Me and zoro will be gone for a couple of hours so try not to get into to much trouble?will be back at dusk.

From zeal your friendly tricker 

I blink"I wonder where they left to"nami said I sigh as I sat down"well all we need to do is wait for them return " I told her she nodded as she sat down all I was thinking about was ' is she going somewhere where it might cause bad stuff to happen?' 

Zoro

We landed on a island green and full of nature but I see old houses and a use to be path the place looks so old but can be lived in if someone just fix some of the houses up "where are we?"I spoke after looking around I face zeal as she had a small sad smile on her face" this is where it began..where I got mine first devil fruit power, the water water"mine eyes widen this was this was her village?? Looking aroun at the old place that was once a place filled with people

"It began when I was 11"I snap mine head towards her as she walk around feeling the old walls and buildings" I was running around helping people like normal I was the only person who didn't care what happen in the outside world, heck since I never left the island I couldn't known" she spoke as the place lit up in a nice white glow then he place was different it wasn't an old place it look new and people were walking around

Flashback

A girl with bright c/h ran threw the streets holding a bag filled with books and bottles and the other with another bag filled with food"good morning miss!" The girl heard from the passing people in the village" goodmoring!"she would yell back as she twist her way to a home that was larger then the rest 

"That is where I lived my mother was already gone she died giving birth to me and my father well he was in the Marie's or as they called it back then the army he was a commander he rarely came home but every time he did we spend all the time together, my grandmother was the village chef and she pass away so I became it, heh I thought I was great doing it no matter the small or large challenge  "

The girl open her house and set the books down and put the food away as a little boy came down the stairs "miss chef miss chef!!Welcome back!!"then footsteps was heard some stumbling but children came down the stairs and line up"welcome home!"they chime in the girl smile"yes every was okay while I was gone?" She ask they nodded smiling big as a small five year old girl step up"was the forest trip ok?"the younger girl as the older one she patted the girl head"it was yuri it was" the eleven year old said

I look at the house that was once where she lived in it looks so abandoned  I thought as she sat down on a old worn out couch that was there and I sat in an old chair"see in mine village children lost their families from the war before I was born where my mother was Alive and was chef with my father , so when I took over children from a younge age to 17 stay with me when they had enough money from jobs they can work"I nodded seeing how she might do that 

"The island was a vast place where there was only three villages there, mine was the largest, the second one I would go to all the time for the day to day when I need supplies or talk about our alliance, or the children who I took care of there"I nodded then a thought came to mind"what about the third one?"I ask her she nodded "that was the old village an....place where people before us where so to speak "I nod to what she meant 

After the girl made dinner for the children she gave them a set of chores to do "okay everyone know what to do?great please do your best and know if u see anything out of the ordinary come get me got it?"they nodded and yuri stood by the girl as they all left "miss? What are we going do today?" Yuri as the eleven year old girl"I heard there this new fruit someone brought in and I want to see what's so special about it"as she took a hold of the girl hand and they walk 

"Wait in cunfused why is the girl, yuri, with u?" I ask thinking it might be because she was younger " she had a people with her body see she can't do what most people do her blood was very thin and her skin was like paper she got hurt very easily and couldn't do what girls do heck she could put on her robes right to wear, most adults didn't like her so when I found her I made her like me, someone so kind so sweet but also hard and her voice will be steel if need to" zeal said I can tell that she was like that now

But what does this have to do with anything?" Um" I was about to ask when"your wondering why or what this deals with why I hevent felt the way about love in a long time right?" I nodded mutely "that where I'm going to get at the water water is not easy to control at all and when I got it I was native and wanted to try it out since inside the fruit was a water sprit and I wanted to merge with it so mine body was made of water but the water sprit wasn't so please with it at first and well cause damage to the village forest so I left, the children knew I left and I left yuri in change to be chef and the kids as her bodyguards"she told me

"But how does this react to " I try to say as she chuckle "they were like family and yuri was the one to snap me out of it and stop trying to merge with the waiter aperitif when I Hurt  her arm"I nodded seeing that as to seeing how the younger one I seeing sitting on the stool with the younger girl look

The girl move the weird fruit in her hand and look at the male who was new to the village"where are u from sir? And what is your name?" The girl ask him as he chuckle his hat is lifted to show his eyes shining with amusement "well younge lady only fair to tell your name before I can girl you mine"he said she nodded seeing the logic "I'm Zeal l/n"she answered he smirk a bit"may I get your real name?" She laughed yuri look Her then back at the man in slight surprise "haha sir I like u your the only one from the newcomers saw that the nickname i have gotten was not mine real name "she said 

"Woh hold on zeal isn't your actual name?"I said shock she nodded"I use it to keep mine real name hidden cause I never did ...use mine real name anymore...in mine village we got our children name and our warrior name as for me I got mine warrior name then zeal mine chef name and since I left the village with only letting yuri knowing that I left I never gave up the title and also when I left I let yugi and her chose of her bodyguards,2-4, as her arms" she told me 

"Mine name y/n l/n but zeal is mine name since I am the chef of the village y/n is mine warrior name"he lean back at the nine year old girl smile at him gently "I'm Paul fin( I have no clue if that's the guy name u know who write those notes in the thing robin reads around cause I can't find his name and I don't know it and plus I took a break on watching one piece when I got to 360 I mean come on! There are 728-740 episodes and a lot I haven't seen!! Give me a break ok? Mine brain is done for a bit on that show I will watch more of it when it's may 26 cause I go on spring break on that time.....) I think u have great potential girl"she pout a bit seeing as the male didn't use her name but set the fruit down" I heard that from many people before me sir fin but tell me what is this strange fruit? Will it harm mine village?"she spoke in a fern tone but u can hear the worry in her tone yuri poke the fruit"no no see this fruit as powers this is what call a devil fruit power and it is calloge of the sprit fruit "the eleven year old look at the fruit in curiosity and stand up the male look at the village chef "u will be staying with me "he nodded getting up and putting the fruit in the tin "I would like to hear more about the sprit section and these devil fruits"

And right when they got to the house she told the younger girl that to tel, the others to do what they want for the day and be in bed at 20:00 she nodded and ran off and the male and the nine year old talk till the moon was at the peak

"Here try it but once u do u must finished it and u can never gain the power to swin in sea water but if u merge with the water sprit your body will be the water itself and can control salt and unsalted water" he told the girl she look at the blue fruit , it was shape as an apple but it was blue and the stem wasn't brown no it was light blue where the apple where it was normally red green or yellow was a dark blue"so I have to eat it all?even the seeds and the stem?"he shook his head and laugh quietly since the children were asleep " no no u just eat it like an apple "she nodded and gulp "so I will gain powers but I won't be able to swin till I die and I can't get rid of it if I bite into this?"the girl as and the male nodded she open her mouth and bit into the blue apple 

"I wish I ask him more about the fruits and how to talk to the spirt"she told me looking up I went to look upstairs "eh zoro where u going?"she ask I came into a room with many beds then I left that room and look in this room where there only two beds I went to the smaller one "this was mine room yuri or one of the children couldn't sleep would sleep by me or in the same bed but yuri stay in that bed all the time she was the youngest with me" I turn mine head seeing zeal coming by me and pick up a photo "ah this photo is me when I was very younge with every one"I saw her with a bright smile along with every kid I saw "I promise yuri that I will come back to her but "I look and saw the deep sorrow in her eyes"the village was attack I never did find out if they made it out or not..."I set a hand on her shoulder when the scream change and I saw her back but a bit older and a lot more bruise up

"Heh I came here after I gotten control of mine water powers before I went and eaten the dragon dragon fruit, it's from the myth section where each fruit is bitten from is curse " she told me as we watch her younger self made a pure water dragon and flew threw a portal like thing

"Oh yah I forgot I can make those"she reply as she made a real one when the seace change to normal and the room was empty and beds were worn out"where to next?"to ask getting on the water dragon that was solid not made of pure water

" where I lost someone who first stop the dragon dragon curse" she reply as we went threw it I close mine eyes from the bright light

Ace

I saw robin ad nami chilling where zoro would normally be and I also saw that zeal not sneaking around trying not to let anyone see her like normal (ma ma u got seen...) "hey robin and nami"I said luffy came over and smile big"namiiiiiiii have u seen zoro anywhere???"he ask "he and zeal went out for a bit don't know where but they will be back at dawn "she reply I instantly thought of three places where she and zoro might went and what to talk about"um did she leave a note?"

I ask robin and she nodded to mine relief as she handed me the note and I read it"what u know where they might went?"I lean mine head down zeal.....are u sure your ready to tell someone? I thought looking out"there are only two places where I can think about but I had three but the ending is what made it easier "I told them"what's that ace?"luffy ask sitting by me with a cunfused expression "one the place she loves going to when she wants to be alone and wants to plan, her house and not the one with her step father her own house, or.."I sigh robin patted mine shoulder"if u don't want to tell u don't have to"nami said 

I shook mine head"but it's not mine place to tell its zeal's....."I said sliding off recalling when I visited the second choice 

I look at zeal wide eye as she kept that smile on her face"and that's all that u need to know about little of me!"she said happy before she even got on the dragon so we can see mine brother I hug her from behind"ace?"she said cunfused I hug turning her around and hugging her tighter"not put no front up with me zeal"I whisper to her she look at me cunfused "I don't know what u "I cut her off putting Mine hand on her head and having her head on mine shoulder (or chest since your shorter then him ) "cry zeal u don't have to hold it in anymore "she grip mine jacket as she refuse to cry I squeezed her a bit more"u don't need to do this anymore remember I told u your burdens are mine as well I will not let u go down with these past scars.....y/n" I said her name she squeezed me and begins to cry the dragon poof away as I held her on the ground right next to the tree by the graves 

Zeal I hope your not doing anything to reckless to your heart I thought looking out at the sunset"is zeal her real name ace?"I snap mine head to sanji and chopper "what?"I said out of shock "I was going ask the same thing ace"chopper said looking at me

"......no her real name is y/n but she goes by zeal for a long long time and I guess she don't want it to go away"I said a bit hesitant robin saw this and let me go "get some rest ok?"I nodded as I saw a blue powder but red streak dragon,nel mine one that I absolutely like that isn't almon, and I knew it was zeal and zoro"were back!!" She said smiling I was going to think they went to her house till zoro said to me when he walk pass me

"She not crying help her"I loooook at him as he went to the others saying it wasn't nothing big and hang out with the others I look at zeal as she went to her room I follow after her

U

As I brush mine h/c locks so they are smooth and not knotted up I heard the door close behind me and I turn around to see ace there"a-ace"I stutter as he came over by me his eyes are cover by his midnight hair then I recall what zoro told me 

"U know if u don't want to hurt ace but want to protect him don't lead him on"I look at zoro like he was nuts or crazy about something"what will they wanted for u?" He said looking at the graves I put mine hand on one" for me to be happy I guess?" 

I said he nodded as he put a hand on mine shoulder"then do what your heart is telling unto what your mind says "

Ace went to his knees making me jump "u-um ace?"I said as he held mine hand then pull me into a hug "a-ace?!w-what's wrong?!" I ask worrly as I felt mine shoulder a bit wet"u u didn't have to go threw that without me "he said after me asking him what's wrong

"I don't know what u mean"I look to the side and above anywhere but his eyes"zeal look at me "I didn't

"Zeal look down at me" ace said after a few minutes since he calm down from me soothing him but not looking at him"y/n"I flinch a bit hearing the tone of his voice, so so much worry and care in it scared me , he move mine chin down and right there I knew if I didn't get him out I would break down like the last time"y/n m/n l/n known by the world as zeal l/n the girl who is a trcker and someone who fears nothing , but u do fear one thing, u fear of being alone again "I blink away the tears bu they went sliding down mine cheeks as he rub them away not looking away from mine eyes 

His dark yellow like gem eyes "zeal I told u your burdens are mine alsodo u recall this?"he ask softly I nod once"then u don't have to hold anything back from me wether it's crying yelling or scars that are not heal all the way right?" I nod once again and he lay me down with him as I lay mine head on his chest her arms around mine waist "then don't forget it"I clutch his shirt as I cry like the time before"i-I'm scared ace! I'm so so so scared!!"I said to him sniffing and crying he smooth mine hair and soothe me "it's okay u don't have to be scare anymore I'm here I'm here"he said keeping me close, I sniff looking at him"promise?"I ask in a small voice he smile as light blue flame made around his pinkey "flame promise"I made mine pinkey all water as we shook our pinkey making a bit of smoke as I lay mine head back down on his chest his arm around mine waist 

"Don't ever leave me"I whispers to him"wouldn't dream of it zeal" he whisper back as I fell into a deep sleep after a long time
