3 I-It's not like I want you to read this, hmph!

Yasaka looked at Lilia, and frowned in displeasure, Lilia had her clothes half burned, her arms were with a simple bandage, but she knows that the condition of her arms is bad, not to mention that she has bruises all over her body.

''Lilia...'' she takes a few steps, stops in front of Lilia who is sitting on the floor and crouches down, she calmly puts her hand on Lilia's head, her hand starts to glow a golden hue, and the glow passes through Lilia's entire body, healing any wound, the healing is so fast that it is visible to the naked eye.

A few seconds later, Lilia is completely healed from her injuries.

''Thank you, Yasaka-sama!'' Lilia had a sparkle in her eyes when she saw Yasaka using Senjutsu, one day she will be as good as Yasaka!

'So this is Senjutsu? It's really useful.' Zoro thought, and seeing Lilia being healed, he let his guard down a little.

He is curious about this skill, but not excited. Zoro knows that power like this comes at a high price, and most likely he won't even be able to learn how to use it, as he's never seen anyone but this woman called Yasaka use this technique called Senjutsu, but maybe Chopper can use it somehow, anyway, it's worth trying to learn.

'When I get back, I'll ask the captain to stay here for a while, if any of us can learn this Senjutsu, we'll have a lifesaving technique.' with his hand on his chin, he peered intently at the golden aura around Lilia.

Finishing healing Lilia, she removes her hand from Lilia's head and stands up, Yasaka studied her surroundings calmly, and then her golden eyes turned to Zoro.

''?!''

Zoro felt her gaze on him, and he couldn't help but tense, through those golden eyes he felt like a monster was looking at him. A bead of sweat fell of his forehead, and he stared back at Yasaka, his hand never leaving the hilt of his swords.

'She is strong....'

However, to Zoro's surprise, Yasaka bowed in front of him, ''Thank you for saving my subordinate.''

Lilia seeing Yasaka bow, was also surprised, ''Yasaka-sama?!''

Yasaka then stops bowing and looks at Zoro again, but this time he doesn't feel any pressure.''I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you saved Lilia, may I know your name, samurai?''

''....'' Zoro watches Yasaka for a few seconds, then sighs, ''I am not a samurai, I am a swordsman. My name is Roronoa Zoro.''

''I see, so it's Zoro-san~'' She actually thought his name was funny, but it would be impolite to laugh at someone's name....at least she'll do it when she's alone,'' Is there anything I can do to repay your help?''

''Eh?Oh.....''he didn't expect her to want to repay his help, but that's a good thing for him, ''Since you're offering, I need help getting back to my crew.''

''Hm? Your crew?'' Yasaka tilts her head in confusion.

''Yes, you know, I am a pirate.'' Zoro would never lie about who or what he is, and if someone just judges him for being a pirate, so be it, he doesn't give a shit.

'' '' A....pirate?'' '' Lilia and Yasaka replied, confused.

Both Lilia and Yasaka were confused, a big ''?'' appeared over their heads.

Zoro was also confused, 'Don't they know about pirates? Do they live on rocks or what?'

''Forget it, I just need someone to guide me to...'' Before he finishes speaking, Zoro suddenly stops and his face starts to sweat.

''Hm? Zoro-san? Are you okay?'' Lilia asked worried.

Yasaka looked at Zoro and saw that he was sweating a lot, and that his face was slightly pale, ''Zoro-san?''

'HUH?! Why can't I remember the name of the village where we docked the ship?! Wait....' Searching his memories, Zoro then remembered the moment he got off the ship to buy more Sake....

-----[Flashback]-----

''Gulp....gulp...gulp.....hm? The sake almost over already? Tch, I will need to buy more.'' Leaving the cabin, Zoro takes a bag with Bellys and heads out of the ship.

When he was about to leave, Nami called him, ''Zoro? Where are you going? We just arrived on the island and you're already leaving?''

Zoro lifts the almost empty Sake bottle towards Nami, ''Yeah, the sake is running out.''

Nami puts her hands on her hips and sighs, ''Damn alcoholic....at least take Ussop or Chopper with you so you don't get lost.''

''Hah? I never got lost in my life.''

Upon hearing Zoro's absurd statment, Nami looks at him with dead eyes, ''Oh.....I see....just in case, if you get lost, the name of the village we stopped at is.....'' before finishing speaking, Nami realizes that Zoro was no longer on the ship, ''Eh? Where did that idiot go?!''

Zoro had left and was already a little far away from the ship, ''Where is the village? Now that I think about it, I didn't ask Nami for directions, I better go back and...'' turning to go back to the ship, he stopped and looked at the scene ahead in confusion, he saw only vegetation and some trees in the background, ''Huh? Where is the ship?''

Yes, in less than five minutes, Zoro was already lost.

''Well.....as long as I keep walking, I'll eventually find the ship.....'' Zoro then continued walking in a completely random direction.

-----[End of Flashback]-----

The memory of what happened came like a thunder in his mind, ''Damn it! Why didn't I ask for directions earlier?! I'm.....completely lost...'' Zoro falls to his knees on the ground as if he has just been defeated, in this case he has been defeated by his stupidity.

'I swear, when I get back to the ship, I will decrease the amount of Sake I drink...'

''Hmm, Zoro-san, are you alright...?'' Lilia approached Zoro, she is worried that her savior hit his head somewhere..

Yasaka looked at Zoro with pity, he looked like he's in trouble,''Zoro-san, if that's okay with you, how about you accompany us to Kyoto? I'm sure I can find your friends.''

Zoro lifted his face and looked at Yasaka with bright eyes, ''Seriously? I appreciate the help!''

''Fufu~no problem, I'm just paying off the debt I owe you~.''

'And if you're as strong as Lilia says, I can't let you get caught by the other factions.' she thought, still smiling at Zoro.

''Alright, just hold on to me, and it can be anywhere~!'' Yasaka licks her lips and gives Zoro an intimate wink. Yes, she is starting to try to seduce Zoro, as if he joins the Youkai faction, their strength will increase even more.

''Hm? Right.'' Without thinking too much, Zoro just placed a hand on Yasaka's shoulder, and Lilia was holding her hand.

'Fufu~, an empty reaction, he didn't even bother looking at me, he's going to be a tough challenge I see~'

Without further ado, the three were surrounded by golden light and in the next instant, they were gone.
