The Moon To My Sun

Zoro In The Castle

It had been a peaceful day, I was brining through another bottle of wine for Mihawk when I overheard a new voice in the room accompanied by Mihawk and Perona’s voices.

“Please will you train me as a swordsman?”

I opened the door poking my head inside seeing the green haired swordsman from the Baratie so long ago, the one who challenged Mihawk before I moved in with him, of course the fight didn’t end in his favour - but I knew him for a whole different reason… I became curious on why Zoro would ask Mihawk for training after being knocked down a few pegs… it was strange, no swordsman or woman was supposed to swallow their pride, the swordsman was on his hands and knees begging to be trained.

“You disappoint me, stand up. I can’t believe you’d ask your enemy for instruction. Have you no shame?”

Mihawk spoke as he saw me walk into the room, my eyes trailing over the scene in front of me, Perona looked confused on what was going on so I sat down beside my husband silently, listening to the conversation.

“Get out of here, this is pathetic. A pity perhaps but I overestimated your worth”

Mihawk spoke as he reached for the wine bottle in my hand pouring another glass of wine while Zoro stayed on his hands and knees with his head lowered.

“I said stand up, you’re making a fool of yourself”

“Please help me!”

Zoro called out desperately grabbing my attention, I turned to Mihawk with a concerned gaze in my eyes… maybe he really did need Mihawk’s help there could be more at stake than there seems to be but instead Mihawk shook his head prompting me to stay silent as I took in his response.

“First of all the baboons beat you and after that you couldn’t even make it out to sea, I can’t help you it’s hopeless”

Mihawk spoke before closing his eyes while blood dripped from Zoro’s body causing my concern to grow deeper for the poor guy.

“They didn’t beat me”

Zoro spoke in a deep tone surprising Mihawk and even Sienna as well.

“You’re the only one left to take down, but I’m just not good enough to take you down the way I am now, anybody can see that.”

Immediately I realised what was happening… Zoro still planned to take down my husband this made my blood boil my brows furrowed into a scowl.

“I don’t follow, clearly you still consider me as your enemy - yet here you are bowing bowing down begging for my help, what do you mean to do?”

Zoro’s head slowly lifted as he spoke, I small surprise in his eyes at seeing me with Mihawk once again.

“Kill you of course”

Immediately I stood up only for Mihawk to grab my hand urging me to sit back down which I did reluctantly, I always hated how Mihawk would be so calm when people wanted to kill him just to take his title. Before I knew it Mihawk burst into laughter causing me to glare at him.

“You admit you want to kill me and you expect me to assist you in that? You’re strange. What a ridiculous request, aren’t you the least bit embarrassed?”

My jaw clenched as Zoro didn’t respond he seemed determined as ever to get stronger just to take down Mihawk. But what I didn’t expect was for Mihawk to agree to help him before turning to me.

“Dear prepare a room and see to it his wounds are healed… Perona will help you”

Perona immediately became angry

“You can’t boss me around or volunteer my help!”

Mihawk didn’t speak afterwards but the look he gave her said it all, a sigh escaped my lips as I walked towards Zoro.

“Follow me”

I spoke grudgingly unhappy with this result. Zoro followed me to the spare bedroom we had in the castle, while tending his wound I noticed the curiosity in his eyes as if he was trying to figure me out.

“why do you live with Mihawk, Sienna?”

Zoro asked but I didn’t respond, my eyes focused on cleaning his wound and bandaging him up. He knows who I am and since we left each other on rough terms I didn’t want to entertain any ideas he may have.

“Well?” He tried again trying to get a response from me.

“I don’t have to answer to you”

Once he was bandaged up I immediately left the room and confronted Mihawk.

“Are you crazy?! All that man wants to do is kill you and take your title!-“

I was interrupted as Mihawk grabbed my waist pulling me onto his lap.

“Questioning my actions are you dear?”

I pouted, I hated this control he had over me but whatever happens after this… I’ll blame it solely on Mihawk - I just hope Zoro keeps his mouth shut… I didn’t want him to tell Mihawk what he and I once was.
