A few months passed since you joined them, being part of the Straw Hat crew. You were a swordswoman, and that would be something for you to be close to Zoro, if it wasn't your personality.

You were lovely, gentle and completely adorable, something that was difficult for him to see in someone who carried a blade, just like him.

He didn't hate you, quite the opposite, in reality. But he didn't knew how to talk to you.

Now oftentimes, he was getting quite protective of you.
