Zoro was drifting across the ocean in a small boat with no particular destination in mind. Not that he could navigate properly anyway. He had decided to take a short nap, and the next thing he knew, he was lying in a dark, damp cave with his swords nowhere to be seen. His eyes moved slowly, scanning his surroundings, until they landed on something peeking out from behind a rock. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

"What the hell?" he yelped, scrambling to his feet and taking a defensive stance. Luffy crept out from his hiding place, eyes wide and curious. Zoro’s gaze dropped. Instead of legs, this creature had a long, scaly tail.
