Zoro and you were walking around in the village for a while now. 

He said we should find Buggy, but how would we be able to know where he is? Aimlessly wandering around isn't working.

All of a sudden, you hear a loud sound of a cannon being fired. The shot was so powerful, it destroyed a whole row of houses. You look at the tremors astonished.

"You think that's Buggy's doing?" you ask.

"Let's go." Zoro runs towards the direction the cannonball was coming from.

ஐ

"Where are you going, the building is here! They're on the roof!" you shout at Zoro, who is running off into a wrong direction. He grunts and runs back to you. "Search for the entrance," you say.

"There is an easier way."

Zoro takes one of his katanas and holds it out near your feet. You understand where he is going with this and step onto the sword. With one charge, he sends you flying upwards and you land steadily on the roof.

You look over the edge and give him a thumbs up, signalling him the move worked out. You turn around to see what is happening. No one seems to notice you, there is some kind of commotion going on. Everyone is shouting back and forth. You try to comprehend the situation quickly.

In the middle of it is an orange-haired girl, behind her, is a lit cannon, the cannon is aiming at a cage and inside the cage is... Luffy!

You bend over the edge of the roof again to see if Zoro is still there. He is running around the building, looking for a way for him to get up.

There's no time for this.

You focus your eyes on the ground beneath you, envisioning yourself standing there. poin Something pounds in your head. You blink a few times. The sight you see in front of you completely overtakes your mind. You are really back on the ground.

"What are you doing down here?!" Zoro shouts.

You snap out of your surprised state. "The situation looks bad. There's a cannon, a cage, Luffy's in the cage... We have to get up there!"

"I cannot find an entrance," he states.

You look at your hand and think about what occurred a minute ago. "Take my hand." You close your eyes and scroll through the pictures your mind has captured. Stopping on the image of the roof filled with pirates, you once again envision yourself at that spot.

"What?"

"Take my hand and jump."

poin

You vanish from the ground and reappear on the roof. Your hold gets tighter around Zoro's hand.

It worked. I... ported.

A headache is the result of the usage of your ability. You tumble backwards, almost falling over, but you get supported by Zoro, who looks astounded by what just happened. A moment later, he adjusts to his surroundings and acts immediately. He sets you down on the ground, jumps between the pirates and the orange-haired girl and blocks the attack they were about to deal on her.

"Just how many of you are charging on one girl?"

"Zoro!" Luffy shouts, happy to see his comrade. He glances at you and smiles, without saying anything. You catch his gaze and nod in greeting.

Everyone seems to recognise Zoro as the famous Pirate Hunter. You regain the strength to stand up, curiously observing the conversation between Zoro and Buggy, who challenged him to a battle. Both of them prepare their swords and charge at each other. Zoro swings his swords and his opponent splits in half.

He was cleanly cut?

You doubt the reactions of Buggy's fellow crew members, they are in a fairly good mood. You could even say they are amused by the defeat of their captain. When you glance back at the separated body pieces, they're gone. This is the moment you realise something was out of place.

"Watch out! The fight is not over!" you desperately scream out, but it was too late. From behind, a floating hand cuts open Zoro's waist.

"The Bara Bara fruit. That's the name of the Devil's Fruit I ate. You can't slice me up because I'm a sectioning human!" Buggy says triumphantly.

"Attacking from the back is dirty, you big nose!" Luffy yells, angering Buggy.

"Who are you calling a big nose?!" Buggy separates his hand, which holds a knife and charges it at Luffy. You swiftly draw one gun and fire a single bullet between the cage's bars, breaking the blade in the process, as Luffy catches the remaining part of the knife between his teeth.

That was close.

You put your gun back as you make your way to the cage and try to crack the lock open. Meanwhile, Zoro flips the cannon over and fires it in Buggy's direction. You don't notice the girl, who is coming closer to you.

"Y/N, meet our navigator." Luffy grins widely at the two of you.

You turn your head and look up at the girl who was in the middle of this commotion.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Y/N," you say, giving her a soft smile.

"Oh, yes likewise... I'm Nami," she hesitantly replies.

Zoro comes up to you three and raises the cage onto his shoulders, resolved to carry it elsewhere. His wound is bleeding badly and putting this much pressure on his waist is definitely going to damage his body. With the cage on his shoulder, he jumps from roof to roof, until there is a good amount of distance between you and Buggy. You follow suit, without being able to help him carry the cage because he wouldn't let you.

ஐ

Eventually, you reach the ground. He stops and places the cage with Luffy down. All of you plop to the ground and relax for a moment. When you look at Luffy's direction, you see a small dog with white fur, sitting well-behaved in front of a pet store.

...Cute.

Luffy starts teasing the dog and soon enough it bites him in the face. He gets angry and proceeds to quarrel with it.

"Stop it, what are you doing?" You run over and take the dog away from him. Luffy pouts and curses at it. You don't understand what provoked the dog. Towards you, Shushu is gentle and even wags its tail when you pet it. You put Shushu back down in front of the shop and turn your attention to the badly wounded swordsman.

"Let me see your waist."

Zoro doesn't react when you put your right hand on his cut. The loss of blood made him lightheaded. The moment you remove your palm, the bleeding stops and the wound is closed. Just as you predicted, the same thing happened back then with Coby's wound.

"The bleeding stopped. What did you do?" Zoro looks at you, surprised again by your abilities.

"I closed the wound, but that doesn't mean the damages you suffered inside your body got healed," you explain with a serious tone. He nods and sits up, leaning against a beam of the shop.

"You know, you are full of surprises today," he says, flashing you a smirk.

Luffy clearly saw you using some kind of ability to close off his crewmate's wound and when he hears Zoro say that line, he wonders what he has missed out on. He is curious and wants to ask you about it, but gets distracted by the sound of a key landing next to his cage.
