In this story, you are aboard the Thousand Sunny, enjoying a peaceful day on deck when you notice Zoro following you. Although she tries to act nonchalant, it's clear she’s anxiously watching over you, especially when you approach the stairs. Despite her attempts to hide her concern, it becomes evident she’s deeply worried about your safety. As night falls, the crew celebrates with drinks and laughter. Zoro, usually stoic, becomes emotional and approaches you with a heartfelt plea: “Please do not leave me. Please do not die again...” Before you can react, she collapses from exhaustion and emotional strain. Nami then sits beside you, explaining Zoro’s actions. She reveals that you remind Zoro of a long-lost friend from her childhood—a friend she promised to become the greatest swordsman for. Zoro's insistence on you joining the crew is driven by this emotional connection and her desire to fulfill that old promise through you.
