The east blue saga 17 (the Ghost island arc)
Adventures of a lost swordsman and a mighty warrior I
"Hey Zoro ! Where are you going ?" Usopp was terrified when Zoro started leaving the ship. Luffy was already getting ready to leave the ship along with Sanji and Nami. And if he went away then there would be no one to protect him if a ghost showed up.
"I'm just going to take a walk." Zoro said, looking back at Usopp.
"Hey Zoro ! You can't go alone." Suddenly Nami spoke up. She had already put the anchor of the Going Merry. But Luffy wanted a special pirate lunch box before heading out. And since Sanji was making one anyway, Nami told him to make another. Sanji's cooking was absolutely delicious. At least she could offer some good food to Bellemere before she leaves.
"And why should I listen to you ? Last time I checked you are not the captain." Zoro said with defiance.
"I might not be the captain. But I am speaking with the best interest of the crew. Even if I have never seen a ghost myself, this place definitely turns dangerous during the night. And if I am not wrong, then there is roughly an hour left before the sun goes down. And with your sense of direction you are bound to get lost. And if you get lost then we will have to find you in this entire Island during the night which was very dangerous for the entire crew. That's why you can't go alone." Nami said with her hair shadowing her eyes.
"I won't get lost ! And besides, are you really scared of ghosts ?" Zoro taunted Nami.
"Hey Marimo ! you should listen to Nami swan. Even if there is no ghost, as she said, if you get lost then it would take us ages to find you in this deep forest." Sanji taunted Zoro.
"What did you say you perverted cook !" Zoro was ticked by the sassy comment of Sanji.
"You wanna go moss head !" Sanji didn't back away.
*Bang* *Bang*
"Stop fighting you two !"
Under Nami's mighty roar and earth shattering strike both Sanji and Zoro collapsed. Unlike Luffy they didn't get the "easy" treatment since they were not completely innocent at heart.
Usopp at that moment, was more terrified of Nami than ghosts.
"Usopp, you will go with Zoro. You can take Blue with you. But don't dare you lose him." Nami used the same bossy and scary tone as before, to order Usopp.
"Understood mam !" Usopp, despite being afraid of ghosts, agreed to keep tab on Zoro immediately.
…
"Why are you clinging on my back ?" Zoro asked Usopp with a flat tone.
"I am clinging to you, because I don't want to be separated in the dark. And besides, I am sure that you are strong enough to carry me on your back without any problem. Nami would kill me before the ghosts, if I lose you in the forest. So cut me from slacks. Will ya ?
By the way, why are you so stubborn about going into that forest anyway ? Didn't Nami just tell us that there is nothing spectacular except for tangerine trees in that forest ?" Usopp asked Zoro.
"I don't know. The forest seems interesting. And I was bored anyway." Zoro said as he ventured deep into the forest.
Honestly, he himself didn't know why he seemed so interested in the forest. But Zoro's instincts told him that there will be something very interesting in the forest. And Zoro was one of those persons, who trusted his instincts more than his other senses.
So he decided to go inside the forest. Blue was flying above them and Usopp was keeping his company by talking to him about various matters.
Zoro wandered around the forest until suddenly just guy started darkening very fast. And only in a matter of minutes the entire forest became dark. But the most unusual matter that happened was that Usopp became quiet. And it was not a regular behavior of Usopp. The marksman of the ship was a coward. And there was no way in hell that the long nosed guy would stay quite in such a situation.
"Whoever you are, who is currently clinging on my back, get off." Zoro said with no nonsense tone.
…
"I don't know. The forest seems interesting. And I was bored anyway." Zoro said as he ventured deep into the forest.
"What do you mean by you don't know and it seems interesting ! That's the first point when you should be more careful. Maybe the ghosts are influencing your thought to attract you into the forest ! Zoro, how about we don't go very deep. I don't think we will find anything interesting here accept for the tangerine trees." Usopp suggested with a shaky voice.
"You have told me that already. Why are you so afraid to go into the forest anyway ? There is still plenty of time before the sun goes down. And besides, don't tell me that you are really afraid of ghosts ? What are you ? A
pussy ?" Zoro snorted at Usopp. But due to his sharp instincts towards danger, Usopp immediately recognised something wrong. Zoro was the type who usually felt very warm. But there was a feeling in his heart that the guy, carrying him on his back was not Zoro.
Suddenly looking up, he realized that Blue was flying right above them. And yet its shadow was nowhere to be found.
A sickening feeling made every hair on Usopp's body stand perpendicularly.
"Zo- Zo- Zo- Zoro !"
Suddenly the head of the green haired swordsman turned 180 degrees, directly facing Usopp.
"What is it, Usopp ?"
…
AN: I have finally caught up with Dandadan manga and just finished watching the one piece fan letter.
And this Arc is a result of me taking some inspiration from that awesome mind blowing manga. After one piece, jjk was my third favorite manga. But after reading dandadan, it has taken the second spot in my favorite list. Remember that I have taken some inspiration and nothing more. This earth will be short and a filler type arc. I hope that you will like it.
