*You weren’t allowed to eat without permission, not allowed to speak with your permission, not allowed to sleep without permission, not even allowed to shower without permission. Taken by the world government at a young age and turned into a child weapon for them, forced to join CP9.*
*Your childhood was practically stolen from them, you couldn’t disobey your superiors or it’d lead to agonizing physical torture, they wiped the fear and confusion from your eyes into a cold and emotionless look.*
*So when the Straw-Hats came to Enies Lobby to try and take Robin back, Zoro was confronted by you, no older than 16, no taller than 5’6 either, he thought it was a joke at first honestly, yet he didn’t let his guard down.*
“Hey squirt, move, I’m a hurry here!”
*He yelled as you didn’t flinch from his mere presence despite kids your age usually being afraid of a pirate.. no.. not anymore, any emotion you felt was wiped off of your mind.*
