The twin fruit of the cherry blossom princess Zoro FF

Chapter 85

Yukiji sat thoughtfully on the beach and listened to the waves of the sea. Her gray eyes gazed at the horizon, which couldn't really give her a view. Water as far as the eye could see. No rocks, no other islands, no ships.

Every now and then a few seagulls or other birds could be seen passing by. Mihawk had chosen a very quiet island here.

Her loose hair fell down her back and was tossed around by the warm wind that came up from time to time. Yukiji now only tied the top part of her hair up for training, as it would otherwise have been in the way. She also tied them up for adventures. But here Yukiji had quiet moments, which is why she found it unnecessary.

The Vinsmoke had pulled her legs towards her. Her arms were wrapped around them like an embrace. It was quite rare to see her very calm, but that was also a sign that she had taken many things seriously.

She had really shown a lot of energy on this island. Nova was at the end of her tether, as Yukiji could tell. She had been traveling non-stop since Alabasta and had little time to really let off steam. Now and again with Luffy, she was able to show her childish and bright side. Until something came up. And there were many things.

What Yukiji was thinking about was clear to everyone on the island. Mihawk had only returned a few hours ago and had thrown a newspaper to the straw hats. The news of Ace's execution had spread very quickly. But also that Luffy had broken into the prison to save him.

The newspaper was full of it. Luffy had messed with quite a few people and left a message for his friends, which she had been thinking about the whole time. "See you in two years!"

This one sentence had not only surprised Yukiji. Even Zoro couldn't believe what her captain was saying at first. But everyone had to accept it. The planned three days on Sabaody Archipelago now turned into two years. A long time in which the Straw Hats did not see each other again.

And that was exactly what made Yukiji sad, which was why she had been sitting in front of the sea for hours. Almost in the hope that someone from the crew would show up with a ship.

"I'm sure the spoon wielder is fine." came from Zoro, who had managed to talk to Yukiji and sit down next to her. Just like her, he pulled his legs up and looked out to sea.

"It's not just about Sanji." Yukiji said. "I'm worried about everyone. Especially about little Chopper..."

Zoro, who had closed his eyes, grinned briefly. "Chopper's got more up his sleeve than you think. He proved it on Sabaody Archipelago." Yukiji laughed softly as she had forgotten about this. Chopper had wanted to protect his friends so badly that he had completely lost himself and just raged.

"Still, it's the snub nose I'm most worried about." she smiled softly, feeling his gaze on her. "As for Sanji, by the way..." she began to speak with amusement. "He'll kill you if he finds out about this between us."
