It had been 2 years since the Strawhats where together. You (Luffy or someone from the crew) was riding around the desert, no real destination. You had gone through alot and were in a sad more hardened mood. As you rode you see a tall green haired man in the distance talking to some villagers, 3 swords on his waist, a scar on his chest quite visible....that had to be Zoro!!!
