Once Sanji awoke  he came face to face with Zoro. Sanji scrunched his nose at his bad breath. He realized Zoro's arms were wrapped around him and holding him close. Sanji scrambled out of Zoro's arms before running into a tree. He grunted holding his head, Sanji looked up to Zoro on his back and scratched his chest. Zoro snapped his eye open and sat up. Sanji rested back on his hands.

"Good morning sleep-"

"Shush!" Zoro barked.

He got up smelling the air before he snapped over to Sanji.

"Climb the tree." Zoro barked.

"What? What's going on?"

"Climb the damn tree!"

Zoro helped Sanji up into the tree before pulling himself up.
"Keep climbing!" Zoro called.

Sanji climbed up the tree to about halfway up before taking a seat on a branch. Sanji looked down to Zoro who sat just a bit lower then Sanji, perched in his half blood form. His ears flicking around before they were pressed back against his head. He looked up to Sanji and pressed a finger to his lips. Just as Sanji was about to say something there was a loud howling. Zoro's ears perked up as he looked down to the dogs running around the forest. A few stopped to the tree and sniffed it. Zoro tensed watching them before taking off in a different direction. He sighed looking up to Sanji. He motioned Zoro up to him and he did.

"Do you trust me?" Sanji asked.

He held out his hand to Zoro, his red eye flicked to his hand before back up to his face.

"Why should I?" Zoro asked.

"I can get us out of here. Your just going to have to trust me."

Zoro sighed taking Sanji's hand, he smirked dashing to the next tree. They hopped from tree to tree before ending on the outskirts of the forest. Sanji turned to Zoro who was all frizzed out like a scared cat.

"Awe, did the kitty get scared?" Sanji teased.

Zoro growled at him licking his palm and grabbing his tail. He brushed down his fluffed up hair.

"Well, I'll see you around, mr. Kitty cat." Sanji said.

Zoro turned to him, but. Sanji had already jumped down and ran into town.

"Tch. I hope I never have to see him again." Zoro hissed.

He jumped down turning into his human form. Zoro headed into town, but he couldn't blend in much since the yellow jumpsuit had him stand out. Along with the black numbers on his back. A hand reached out of the ally pulling him back and pinned him to the wall. Sanji stood furrowed and a bit ticked off.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" Sanji spat.

"Going home, what else?!" Zoro barked.

"You can't go out wearing, wearing." Sanji got lost in thought looking at his yellow jumpsuit.

The one Sanji wore was dark green. He gasped backing up and way from Zoro.

"Hey, why is yours green?" Zoro asked.

"You don't know?" Sanji asked.

He chuckled leaning against the wall and pulled out a cigarette he pickpocketed from someone. He flicked his fingers lighting the cigarette before blowing away the flame.

"You see, the color you wear is your danger level. Purple the weakest to red the strongest and more dangerous. Since your yellow. Your one of the upper strongest. Since the little stunt we pulled I'm pretty sure I'll be a yellow along with you." Sanji boasted rubbing his knuckles on his jumper.

"But your still a green."

"Shut up I'm just as strong as you. I was chained with fucking chains bigger then your fat head."

Zoro's jaw hinged as he came face to face with Sanji exchanging glares. Until Sanji blew smoke into Zoro's face. He wafted away the smoke and grew angry by the second looking at Sanji smoking against the wall. Zoro perked up turning to the entrance of the ally. Two men about there age walked in. Zoro and Sanji exchanged looks before pulling them into the alley. Knocking them on head and falling unconscious. They stripped them of there clothes then put them in there old jumpsuits and they changed into the t shirts and jeans they wore. Zoro couldn't keep his eye off Sanji's really tight jeans.
"Aren't those a little tight on you?" Zoro asked.

Sanji perked up from tying his shoes, "Why do you care?"

"I don't."

"Then stop staring at my ass."

Zoro grunted turning away, he perked up before putting the two men in the trash cans. He pinned Sanji to the wall plucking him of his cigarette and kissed him roughly. Sanji's eyes widened as a guard perked his head into the alley. The guard rolled his eyes waking by.

"Teenagers." He grumbled.

Zoro pulled back looking at the entrance, he sighed in relief turning back to Sanji.

"I think he's gone." He said.

Sanji didn't respond, but. There was a gleam, a sparkle in his eyes. He blinked before kicking Zoro in the shin. He hissed backing off Sanji who flicked the bud of his cigarette at his forehead. Zoro growled looking up at him.

"Hopefully this is the last I see of your ugly mug." Sanji said.

"Good riddance to you." Zoro barked.

They growled at each other before Sanji left down the street. Zoro growled leaving the other way. Sanji stopped and turned back to Zoro walking away. He pulled out another cigarette and lit it before turning away and headed down the street. Where he came down to a restaurant that seemed to be a big hit. The Baratie. Sanji clutched his fists as he gave a shaky breath. He opened the glass door and stepped inside.

"Please." Sanji muttered, "I hope you lived."

Sanji turned to the cork board with notes and ads on them. But there was a missing persons poster under an ad. Sanji reached out brushing away the papers and saw him from fourteen years ago. He plucked the paper and looked at it. Sanji bit his lip clutching the paper, a tear dripped down on the page.

"Put that back!" A voice barked.

Sanji perked up and turned to an older man with a shocked look on his face. This was Zeff. Sanji's father figure.

"Dad." Sanji muttered.

He rushed up and embraced Zeff as they held onto each other tight. Like if they let up they would loose the other. Zeff soon pulled back and cupped Sanji's face.

"It is you." Zeff muttered.

Sanji smiled softly and nodded, Zeff and him embraced once more before Zeff took him upstairs to there home. Sanji looked around to the change in there home.

"I've remodeled. Along with the kitchen. But. One room."

He opened a door at the end of the hall, Sanji smiled softy waking down the hall to a bedroom. Where a yellow stuffed duck with some tattered stitches sat on a small blue bed. Sanji smiled taking the stuffed duck and picking her up. He held her tightly before looking around the room. Everything seemed to remain in place. Nothing was touched throughout the absence of him.

"I made sure that everything was still here when you came home." Zeff said.

Sanji smiled, "Thank you."

He looked to a book and smiled taking it.

"You should of gotten rid of this." Sanji said.

Zeff sat down taking the leather bound book.

"You wanted to find the All Blue when you were younger. And now that your home. You can go out and look for it."

"But." Sanji said looking up at him, "What about you?"

"I already have my dream, my son has returned home to me. I have a great business, I couldn't be better."

Sanji smiled sitting next to his father. They embraced holding each other for a good while before letting go. Zeff wiped a tear away from Sanji's cheek before getting up.

"Welcome home, my son." He said.

Sanji smiled, "It's good to be home."

Zoro walked into a broken and abandoned old ruin. He sniffed around before turning to a pile of stone. He walked up to it and started to dig through the stone. Zoro smiled pulling out three swords and putting them on his hip. This old place used to be Zoro's home. He lived with his father and two sisters. One was taken with him to Gold Quarter while he lost the rest of his family. Zoro looked around kicking over rocks and sniffing around. Until his hope dropped. There sat the largest sword with a coat fluttering in the wind and a hat sitting on the handle. Zoro growled pulling out his sword and pierced it through the ground.

"Damn it, I'm too late." Zoro muttered.

He knelt down pressing his forehead against the handle. There was a hawk cry before landing on the handle of the large blade. Zoro looked up to the black hawk with stunning golden eyes. Zoro got up as the hawk fluttered up onto his arm.

"I should of known that they wouldn't suspect you to be a rebel." Zoro said.

The hawk pecked at his forehead making Zoro bat him away. The hawk soon turned into a man, not just any man, but Mihawk Dracule. A man who has always escaped being captured into Gold Quarter, and also is Zoro's father. He pulled on his coat and hat before turning his golden gaze over to his son.

"So your the one who started trouble." He said.

"I was trying to find Kuina." Zoro said.

"But did you?"

"No." Zoro grumbled.

Mihawk thumped him on the head with the hilt of his sword. Before putting it on his back.

"And now you bring trouble into our streets." Mihawk said, "As long as red hair didn't get out were fine."

Mihawk perked up to the scar across Zoro's eye. He reached out and ran his thumb across it.

"How did you acquire this?" Mihawk asked.

Zoro batted his hand away, "I'm fine. It was just a fight with one of the guards.

There was a low growl in the woods as they turned to a red maned lion. Zoro turned into his half blood form about to pull out one of his swords. Mihawk raised his hand for a moment having Zoro sheath his sword. The lion jumped down and pounced at Mihawk. His rough tongue licked up the whole side of his face. Zoro cocked a confused brow as the lion licked away at Mihawk's face. The lion pulled back purring softly and nuzzling his mussel against Mihawk's face. He lied there with his arms crossed glaring up at the lion.

"Red hair." Mihawk grumbled.

The lion soon turned into a man wearing a dark red jumpsuit, with red hair, a scar of three over his left eye, and missing his left arm. This was red haired Shanks, one of the four strongest at Gold Quater. Zoro turned back to his human form. His eyes focused on the red jumpsuit.

"He must be really strong." Zoro muttered.

Shanks perked up along with Zoro as there half blood forms appeared. Shanks had longer red hair that came down to his side burns with a lion nose. His fingers came to a claw like Zoro, and he had ears and a tail like a lion.

"Something's coming." They said.

Shanks and Mihawk got up, "Hurry follow me."

They followed Mihawk into the forest to a waterfall. He lead them behind it to a small cave. Which had a small house inside. Zoro's sister, Perona sat outside and gasped when she saw him.

"Zoro!" She cried.

She jumped down to him and embraced him in a tight hug. He grumbled flicking his tail. She was the only one without powers. But she practiced magic. Talking to the spirits of the dead and communicating with ghosts.

"Where's Kuina?" She asked.

"She's still in there, I'll go back to save her. Once I get strong enough."

Perona gave a guilty smile before taking Zoro inside. Mihawk placed the back of his hand on Shanks chest. Stopping him from going inside. Mihawk looked over to him.

"I need you to teach him how to use his final form." Mihawk said.
