It'd only been a matter of time.

Nami had been the first to leave him be, after awaking him from a nap - only to have a fiendish orange-gold gaze cast upon her.

Usopp didn't help his practice after an attack that should have only stopped projectiles ending up slicing one of his slingshots - though he was several hundred yards away.

The cook stuck it out; still sparring until he felt that damned blade revolt. Only for his reflexes, did he manage to save his leg. That and Chopper's neat stitching.

Robin sought answers, but no one had survived the curse before - no one had written anything of the sword's history.

Chopper always checked his body temperature throughout the day, after Sanji had complained of burns from the swordsman's fingers one night. After learning that he could no longer touch something that was as precious as him to the sword that he'd sworn his promise upon....

He broke.


Luffy had been the one to decide it. Luffy, who'd always watched, waiting silently.

His Captain had been smiling, even if it hadn't reached his eyes.

"You'll come back Zoro. It's only a matter of time."

Your little ficlets always hurt... so good. You keep coming up with darkly creative possibilities and then write them so well. @_@ I loved hated hoved the idea of his swords keeping him from touching Sanji/getting close to anyone which eventually drives him insane (yes?).

Creative, unique, and painful. I liked it.

BTW - The thought of a smile that doesn't reach Luffy's eyes was a sharp little pain in my heart... ;_;

But... but... it hurts so good.

Is this Ashura, embodied in Sandai Kitetsu, or simply Zoro's 'demon' nature being brought forth by it? It's so hot I want full length fic now please please please

A twist and a subject that I had never thought to explore. It's heartbreaking. Really makes you think, though, the possibilities that are on the horizon for the Strawhats.

i wonder, at what point would zoro be willing to even attempt to abandon the sword? he'd probably end up even worse off, i expect, but it seems logical that someone would make the suggestion to him, at least. probably nami. i wonder if they're ever going to really get into that sword's curse. very interesting.
