Walking in the middle of the night as the cherry blossoms swayed under the beautiful night sky
was a man with green hair and a scar over his left eyes as a golden glow reflected of his left ear revealing three golden earrings
He was grabbed in a white Yukata with green cloud patterns on the bottom alongside a dark green jittoku haori hanging from his shoulders as three katanas hanged from his waist
He stopped for a moment to bask in the beauty as a peaceful smile formed on his face he took it all in
"The moon's beautiful ….. I should drink and take in the view later"
Holding a white jug over his shoulder filled to the brim with sake he continued on his way over a small wooden bridge
As the cherry petals flew all around him nothing could ever ruin this beautiful moment
~Clink~
"NO!"
Narrowing his eyes as the sounds of screams roared behind him he turned around
"Move!"
As a man Rushed past him his face was covered by a roningasa as he wore a black yukata with a red cloth hanging from his waist where his katana set
pulling down on his roningasa to cover his face in hopes he didn't see how he looked like
His nose twitched as a smell he was all to familiar with clouded off the man
The smell of blood…
"Wait"
Stoping in his tracks the man unsheathed his katana as he aimed it at him
"You smell pretty good,Buddy"
Pulling the sake jug off his shoulder and in between the both of them he grinned
"It's like a blood-scented perfume…."
Watching as he Gripped onto his blood stained katana ready to strike at any moment
"It's quite pungent…."
a scowl replaced his grin he glared at the man
"And it makes me sick"
Seeing as his eyes shaked in a crack in his roningasa he narrowed his eyes
-WHISTLE-
The sounds of a whistle being used broke the tension as a growing noise followed after
"You're under Arrest! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"
Looking behind him a crowd of Doshin where rushing towards them as the man holding the katana took off in a sprint
"Your under arrest! Your under arrest!"
Pointing behind him as the doshin reached him
"Yeah, he went that way"
without a second of hesitation they surrounded him
"You're under arrest!, You're under arrest!"
"You Slasher!"
"Don't resist!"
Glaring towards him as they accused him of being a slasher
"Eh?"
It was fair to say he was confused looking around he sighed
"Just hold still!"
As they repeated your under arrest's over and over again he sighed before placing his sake jug on the floor
-Cling-
"I got it de-gozaru…"
Spreading his arms he complied
"Hey,tie him up!!"
Closing his eyes he couldn't help but think how his father would be laughing his ass off if he could see him now
…
[Zoro pov]
Being thrown in a cell was the first as Zoro was stripped of his weapons and clothes leaving him completely bare chest and all
"If I knew this was going to happen I might as well have finished my sake"
Sighing he leaned against the wall as he looked at the moon through the metal bars
"Ten years two winters and one spring just where the hell did you go…"
Gritting his teeth that how long hes been searching for his family
He's faced dangers after dangers chasing false leads in hopes of one day being able to reunite with them but he's found nothing
"To be the worlds greatest swordsman… Tch what a joke what kind of swordsman no what kind of man can't even protect his own family…"
Clenching his fist in frustration how can he be the best if he Dosent even think he deserves it anymore
He's lost hope that why he didn't even fight when the doshin surrounded him if his father where to see him In this state he would no doubt be disappointed
"I really need that sake
Sighing he closed his eyes as sleep began to take him
…
Dressed in a all white Yakuta was Zoro as he kneeled down in the middle of a courtyard Filled with men dressed in the same colors
while beside him was a man dressed in a all black yakuta armed with a katana
And infront of him seated on a small wooden tray was a knife with no hilt
But that didn't matter as he glared at the man standing a few meters away from him he recognized the scent of last night as he looked down on him with a snake like smile he did something no sane man would ever do
Hold another man sword as he unsheathed Wado Ichimonji Zoro scowled
"So your name is Roronoa Zoro….why does that sound familiar"
Shrugging his shoulder he saw his reflection on the blade as a person approached him before whispering in his ear
"Ah that why your so familiar to think we would have the infamous Wandering Demon in our midst and to think you where the slasher all this time"
Once those words came out of his mouth the faces of the others in the courtyard changed drastically
"It matter not who you are to bring peace back into these peaceful lands you will forfeit your life and die honorably scum"
Sheathing Wado the bastard smirked deviously as he looked to the man in the black yukata besides Zoro
"Now demon it's time"
Grabbing the knife infront he frowned
"Hey…this blade has no grip…..ah….de-gozaru"
Looking down at Zoro he spoke
"A seppuku blade is usually short and has no grip…you won't fight with it so it doesn't matter
Do you know the proper etiquette of seppuku demon?"
Looking down at the knife in his hand Zoro didn't answer as the man talking to him grew angry
"If you call yourself a Swordsman , admit your guilt and kill yourself honorably demon at least then the lives you've taken will finally be able to rest in peace!"
Looking towards the man as tears fell down his eyes he unsheathed his blade
"Before you start suffering…I'll assist you in dying!"
Going behind Zoro as he waited for him to commit senppuku
Zoro glared towards the man responsible for all of this on top of it all he dared lay his dirty hands on his sword
"Tch.."
Pulling down the top half of his yukata revealing a huge scar in his chest he spoke
"Well then….farewell"
Still holding Wado as he looked down on the bare chested Zoro he smirked
"Don't be a baby, A proper death is a Swordsman honor
We have witnesses! And enough evidence!
It's an honorable death that you don't deserve!"
Holding the knife infront of him it was sharp Zoro thought
"Be happy that you can perform senppuku demon"
Touching his stomach he closed his eyes as the man holding Wado smiled with glee
Breathing in Zoro held the knife in his hands as he slowly rised it as it went above his head he snapped his eyes opened as he brought it down
But just as he was about to stab himself he stopped in the last moment
"I smell blood….You….are the slasher!"
Glaring towards him the man face paled as he stepped back
But it was too late
[Slash!]
Before he could or any others could react to stop him Zoro slashed down hard as a blade made of wind cut him in half
As steam left his mouth the others finally reacted as they surrounded Zoro
yet instead of having an air of confidence fear doubt and death seeped into there minds as they trembled in fear
"I surrender de-gozaru"
Dropping the knife they hesitated not knowing if he was lying or telling the truth until one brave soul stepped forward
"Quickly get the chains before he changes his mind!!"
