[One Piece] The Swordsman Is My Lover

(Drafting, 1.5k words saved)

Does the grandeur of the world really have much to do with ordinary people?

Xiao Mei is an utterly ordinary, honest woman. By chance, she meets a drunken, green-haired swordsman and somehow gets tangled up with him, somehow becomes close to him, and somehow... ends up with him.

The swordsman is a man with a strong sense of responsibility. Despite the fierce appearance he gives off, he's very considerate. He always notices Xiao Mei's moods in time and takes care of all the chores at home. He's an exceptionally wonderful, kind-hearted gentleman.

Xiao Mei settles into a happy life.

But she's always uneasy. She feels that the swordsman doesn't love her all that much.

After seeing a wider world and more remarkable women, could a swordsman like him really fall in love with an ordinary person like her?

Time and again, Xiao Mei has nightmares about being abandoned by the swordsman.

As he chops wood in the sunlight, the swordsman reveals his honey-colored skin. Sweat runs down his chest, over one firm abdominal muscle after another. That's where Xiao Mei likes to rest her head when she sleeps.

What a dilemma. Xiao Mei furrows her brow.

The swordsman is too remarkable. Being with him puts so much pressure on her.

Troubled, Xiao Mei thinks: If she could do it all over again, she wouldn't get together with the swordsman.

And then... Heaven really does grant her wish. When she wakes up, she finds a young, inexperienced swordsman who blushes at the slightest kiss.

Xiao Mei reaches out and feels the young swordsman's chest.

She can't help exclaiming, "So firm, and so tender."

Not just his face, but his body is tender too.

Zoro, fresh out at sea: "You perverted woman, where are you touching?!"

Xiao Mei presses her lips together, feeling a little awkward. She's truly sorry. She forgot that the swordsman isn't her lover yet.

Anyway, since Heaven has sent her back to the past, this time Xiao Mei decides to do things that will make the swordsman hate her, so they won't end up together again.

And so Zoro turns as red as a cooked shrimp from being groped, burning with embarrassment and anger.

That perverted woman!!!

If only he could beat her...

I've found inspiration again.

The Zoro who marries Xiao Mei is the one who has retired after the world is liberated and the pirate crew disbands.

He's an honest man who can settle down and live a life with Xiao Mei.

Enjoy two very different versions of the swordsman.

This was originally planned as a short story, but the cover I commissioned is so beautiful that I want more people to see it!
