It has been 6 months since that first meeting. After introducing themselves, Zoro and Rumi had began a conversation. Zoro had found out that she was here because of the rumors of the dragon that lives here. Zoro was stunned before telling her that the dragon was just him with his quirk and that tourists had started to spread rumors after seeing him train on the mountain. Rumi was skeptical at first and told zoro to prove it. After talking some more he decided to show her in the morning as that's when he trains.
Taking her to the peak of the mountain by flying as his zoan form was hilarious. She had been excited at first before becoming terrified as we got higher in the air. Dropping her off at the peak, Zoro transformed back and laughed at her for being so scared, and asks if she believes him now. She promptly said she believes him before asking for a fight with a big grin on her face. She thought that he would be strong with a quirk like that. After a nonchalant no from Zoro she becomes irritated with him and attacks him. Running towards him as fast as she can, she gets withing five feet of him quickly. Just before she can do anything else, she feels it. If she moved any further, she would die. Her ears stood straight up and she looked at Zoro with before seeing that he had changed a little.
He had a tick mark on his head and his eyes opened a little more showing a purple gleam as he stares her down. He speaks again stating that he already said no and that he needs to get to training. After stating that he walks a little farther to a Boulder that was bigger than his dragon form. Taking a second to get rid of his shirt, he picks it up and puts it on his shoulder.
Doing squats with it as he ignores rumi right now. He knows she's his soul companion, but he only has six months before he leaves for a trip around the world, so he didn't have time to mess around, he wouldn't be training during the trip at all so he needed to get stronger first.
After taking a second to shake off the feeling of death before seeing that he was working out, she decides to work out as well with a couple of small Boulders that were tied to a rope meant for running. After 8 hours of work Zoro was done. Looking over he sees that Rumi was exhausted. he picked her up before flying back to the village.
6 months had quickly gone after that first day. Rumi had decided to train with me until he left. Questioning her revealed that she had graduated and had been fighting in underground rings for experience before going to the UA exams that were in nine months. He had forgotten about heroes for a while seeing as it was peaceful in this small village.
She asked him if he would be one. Zoro thought about it for a second before saying no. Asking why he wouldn't be, Rumi thinks that it is a waste. Zoro answers back that he was to lazy and that heroes and villains are both troublesome. Rumi decided that she will get him to be a hero because he is strong, so during the next 6 months she had pestered him about it. After 3 months of that Zoro had finally had enough.
She had been asking for a fight every day before nagging at him when he said no. After being asked again he finally snapped. Walking up to Rumi her grabbed her before tossing her over his shoulder like a ragdoll he quickly left for the fields. During the walk Rumi was struggling so he quickly swatted her bubble butt to shut her up. He told her to stop and that she'll get the fight she wants when he gets there.
What he wouldn't know was that Rumi had gotten red faced and her heart raced when he smacked her ass. Nobody had ever treated her like this, they were usually sucking up to her because of her strength. She had started to like Zoro for his laid back attitude. She had gotten used to people always fulfilling her demands so it was unusual for someone to say no or talk down to her. For some reason, she found it sexy that he was stronger than her. She was ashamed of it, at first but over 3 months he had showed her again and again that he wasn't ordinary.
After getting to the field he quickly dropped her before telling her that as soon as she gets knocked out that the fight is over. Counting down, He got to one and rumi was ready. Crouching down she stood In a printer's stance. Right as he hit one Zoro let loose his conqurers for a split second but it was enough. For just 2 seconds, the world was quiet for Rumi. She couldn't move and it was as if gravity was doubled. She could feel herself losing consciousness. All she could think of was how hot his glaring face looked as she passed out.
After that fight, a change to their relationship happened. Rumi started listening more when Zoro talked, she had become way stronger thanks to that. Zoro would give advice when he trained and she payed attention, it made a huge difference.
She also started reading his manga after finding out that he made them. Her favorite was One Piece after seeing that he was a character. She had seen him practice the same moves as in the story so she knew that he was actually way stronger than he showed. She also loved the fight scenes as it would pump her up immensely.
Her second favorite was highschool dxd. It's plot was okay but the sex scenes were top teir. She loved that issei was a dominant guy, while the women in the book were also dominant, they didn't hold Draig, the dragon of domination. The smut was so good that it led her to try some herself. She found out that she had an S personality and a M in the bedroom. There was something hot about reading how powerful women became subs to a big strong stud.
After letting her read his books, they started to hang out in a more relaxed manner. Eventually in the 5th month, they went out on a date after Rumi asked. They had a wonderful picnic with a spar afterwards. They talked later on about where they would take it before deciding to wait until after Zoros trip to try anything serious. It was the best decision as they both had something they wanted to get done. She wanted to be a hero while he wanted to travel to see everything possible.
As he finally gets to the airport and waves goodbye to rumi, he thinks about what he would like to do. He had taken care of everything for his grandma so she was fine, he had gotten more money than most could make in their entire lives, he was impossibly strong, and lastly, he may have found his possible wife. After taking it all in for a moment, he walks into the plane with a sincere smile. Everything is set up so that he can enjoy his second life. He's gonna have the most fun possible on this trip and when he gets back. Just imagining Rumi with her shy face and red cheeks when he gets back makes his smile just a little bit wider.
