hello peeps! i am very excited about a feild teip we're having in spring! LOL! but that's not important....i would love to tell yall what else is going on but my mom is going to yell if she finds me on here so i will post and TTYL!

When they got back to the ship, Zoro stormed down to the cabins without a word. He even refused to come up for dinner. Yumi told everyone what had happened. While every one was eating, Sanji (with Yumi orders) came and brought Zoro something to eat. When he climbed down into the cabin, he saw Zoro sitting on the floor, against the couch holding a piece of paper. Sanji sighed and plopped down on the couch. “Here.” He plopped the plate down next to Zoro. Sanji looked at the picture in Zoro’s hands. It was him and Michiyo. Sanji looked down, rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. Before Sanji could think of anything to say, Zoro slammed his fist down. “Shoot!” he yelled angrily. Sanji said nothing. “Just look at me!” he jumped up. “I’m wasting away just because of a girl!” he threw the picture down. After a short silence, Sanji stood. “She’s not just a girl. She’s special…” Sanji put his hand on Zoro’s shoulder. “It’s normal to grieve for someone…” “But I’m not like that!” Zoro shouted. “I have been nothing but weak! Form the first time I saw her! I lost focus of what was important! And now, everyone thinks I’m weak!” Sanji didn’t know what to say. Zoro bent down and picked up the picture. “I wish I had never met her at all……” Zoro clenched his fist, crumbling the picture, and threw it into a waste basket. “You don’t mean that…” Sanji said sternly. Zoro just glared and stormed upstairs. Sanji walked over the basket and took the picture out. He gently smoothed it out and placed it in his pocket.
Sanji took Zoro’s plate and went back up to the kitchen. When he got there, everyone was gone except Yumi. Sanji sighed and sat down. “He’s taking this A LOT harder than I thought…” Sanji said putting his head down. Yumi shook her head. Sanji pulled out the picture and threw it on the table. Yumi picked it up and scowled. She jumped up and charged out the door.
“Zoro!?” she called in an angry whisper. She went to the back of the boat where Zoro was sitting. “What is with you!?” Yumi shouted at him. “You aren’t the only one who misses her! Stop feeling sorry for yourself!!” she had tears in her eyes. Zoro said nothing. “If you don’t care anymore…keep it to yourself!” she threw the picture at him and stormed off. Zoro looked at the picture. He violently picked it up and attempted to throw it over the side of the ship. But he couldn’t. Finally, he breathed out and stuffed it into his pocket. He sank down and did something he hadn’t done for a long time. He cried. Right then, he made a promise that he would do anything he could do to avenge Michiyo. Even if it meant he had to die too. “No...” he said aloud. “Zoro! If you really care for me, you won’t give up! You won’t throw away your dream for me! I won’t let you!” Michiyo’s plead haunted him. He remembered in sickening detail, everything about her. No. he won’t die. This just all the more encourages him to be the best. With that thought in mind, he drifted into a deep, sorrow induced sleep.

Weeks went by with Zoro and Yumi not saying a word to each other. Zoro still insisted Michiyo was still alive while Yumi persisted she was dead. Hostility between them rose and rose. They always seemed at each others throats. Everyone did their best to stay out of it. Anyway, Yumi had been scanning the ocean when something caught her eye. “Hey, Luffy!?” she called. “Yea?!” he poked his head from the kitchen. “Did you finish off HIM?” she asked. Luffy ran out next to her. “Why?” he asked. Yumi was staring out into the distance. A few hundred yards away was a large ship. “Oh crap….” Was all that Luffy said. Hearing what was going on, Usopp’s eyes bulged. “What are we gonna do!?” he asked. Luffy tightened his fists. Before he could say a word, Yumi interrupted him. “We’re going after him of course…” just then, Sanji, Nami and Chopper came out side. “What’s going on!?” Nami asked. “Him!” Usopp said as he prepared the boat. “Should we run?” Sanji asked, eyeing the boat. “No…” every one turned to look at Zoro who had been silently sitting. “Well why not!?” Nami yelled. “They’ve already spotted us” Yumi said distantly. Before anyone could say “what?” HIS ship fired at the Merry Go. The ship shook to and fro. Once the ship steadied, everyone realized HIS ship was growing ever closer to their own. Soon it was right up along next to theirs. Every one stayed silent. “Ah my Yumi! It has been too long!” HE stood with great majesty on top of his large ship. Yumi glared at him. Zoro stood and put his hand on his sword. “We thought we had done away with you.” Zoro said coming up next to Luffy, who stood silent and angry. HE just laughed. “No, don’t you see I’m unbeatable!?” he stood up and motioned something. Out of nowhere, men dressed in black, his death dealers, lined the boat…armed. “Oh, I’d also like you to meet my first mate!” an overly dressed Jack Pierre came forth. Now Zoro had two of his swords drawn. “I will kill you and every single one of your men!” Zoro threatened. Jack and HIM laughed. “So you are even going to kill…...” he held his hand out. The woman who looked like Michiyo came out and stood triumphal next to Jack. She was wearing short shorts and a strange shirt. Jack put his hand on her bare waist. Zoro almost dropped his sword. “Mi….Michiyo??” everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone except Yumi and Zoro. “And now….time to raid your ship!” he snapped his fingers and all the death dealers sprung to action.
