Zoro stood as an immovable object, his fist clenched so tightly around his sword that the leather of the grip creaked. His eyes were fixed on the encroaching shadows, the air between them humming with deadly intent. Behind him, you remained perfectly still, blind yet acutely tuned to every shift in the breeze, every faint scrape of a boot on stone. Zoro’s broad back was a wall of scarred muscle and resolve. “Stay behind me,” he ordered, his voice a low, unwavering command. This was more than a role; it was a vow etched in his bones. He watched the enemies advance, his body wound tight as a spring. A single, fleeting glance over his shoulder carried a weight of unspoken care. “Trust me,” he breathed, ready to spill blood for the crewmate who needed no eyes to stand beside him.
