A Zoro x Reader One Piece Fanfiction (with Chopper!)
Note: I wrote this with the Live Action Adaptation in mind so I will follow the same structure that the live action did. This is heavily unedited.
Thank you for the love you gave for the first two parts! My heart is warm and full, I didn’t expect the amount of love it received. Thank you guys!
Chopper walks with you hand in hand, as he insisted while you make your way through the crowded market. He was extremely excited to see what this island offers, he loved Sun Island and how different it was from Drum Island, so he’s more eager to explore the wonders of this island with you.
You stopped by a stall seeing new herbs and some seedlings, you looked down squeezing Chopper’s hand. “You wanna come see this?” you asked carrying him up in your arms so he can take a look. “Oh, yes! We can turn those into tonics, which helps with cold treatment too! And if we buy one in the pot we can have a lot of supplies, it also helps with wounds.” Chopper exclaimed.
Chopper settles in your arms, looking up at you with wide eyes and you carry him closer to your chest. “Go on then, tell the nice lady we’re buying these.” you encouraged, giving him the money he needed for the purchase. He reached out for it and looked at the lady afraid to speak up, realizing they’ve been staring at him for a while.
His interactions with humans were always a hit or miss, it’s very unknown for some folks to see a creature like Chopper but today as he looked at the lady’s warm smile as she awaits for Chopper to speak up, he knew there’s nothing to be afraid of given, you were holding him up safely in your arms.
“Can we buy these?” he asked in his tiny voice. Pointing the herbs he needed and deems useful for the ships infirmary.
The lady smiled at Chopper, packing the herbs and the seedlings. “Is it your first errand, kiddo? What a good kid.” She took the payment from Chopper, still smiling and handed him the bags. Chopper felt proud at his first successful shopping and smiled back at the woman.
“Thank you!” he said enthusiastically, carrying the bags as you gently put him down, he held your hand as you both moved on to the next stall.
You watched Chopper’s expression closely, as far as you know, Chopper would be a teen—based on your estimation. But he still behaves way younger, you wanted him to soak it in but at the same time, you want to give him a footing that allows him to socialize without thinking he’ll get hurt.
He’s comfortable with the crew, but you don’t want to cage him into that bubble. He joined the crew to experience new wonders after all, and you wanted to give him the gentle push and encouragement he needed so he could have the courage to face this new world.
You head to the less crowded part of the market, still holding Chopper’s hand while he looks around the wide variety of products around.
“Chopper…I have to buy some supplies that Nami asked me to get for her. But I still have another item in my list, I need to get Chamomile for our tea.” you gently pulled Chopper on the side of a nearby stall crouching down to his level. “Do you think you can go to that area over there to check if they have some?” you watched Chopper’s eyes widened as his eyes followed the area you were pointing at.
It’s not crowded, he could easily navigate that area and there are markers and signs so he won’t get lost, he looked back at you blinking, contemplating if he can manage to do it by himself.
His eyes landed on the bags you were carrying, they must’ve been heavy, and you’ve been carrying those and holding his hand while shopping, he hadn’t realized how hard it must’ve been for you to ensure every item on the list is bought.
He remembers that you taught him how to buy from the kind lady earlier, if all merchants were like that, it would be an easy feat to get chamomile.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to.” you gave him the way out, seeing the cogs turning in his cute head. But he looked at you with determination, shaking his head as he took some shopping bag from your hands, the ones he can carry in his tiny form.
“No, I wanna help…let’s meet after I buy chamomile? Will these bills be enough?” he asked, showing the money you gave him.
You smiled fondly and patted his head. “Yeah that’s more than enough, you can keep the change and maybe buy something that catches your eye?” you offered the reward and his eyes sparkled instantly, the thought of buying something for himself excited the reindeer boy.
“HMM! I’ll go ahead! You should get Nami’s supply!” he waved, walking away, ready for his next adventure.
He still looked back at you occasionally, so you pretended to walk in the opposite direction before hiding behind a huge post, you let him get further a little more before you walked after him. It's great that you chose this less crowded area, you can easily follow him without him getting lost in the crowd.
You already expected that Chopper would be getting attention from the locals that’s why you followed closely, you lied about getting Nami’s supply, you just wanted to give him the chance to feel independent to develop his self esteem.
Chopper’s tiny hooves tapped around the pavement as he walked up to the stall. “Mister, can I buy some chamomile?” he asked in his tip toes, handing his payment to the old man.
The old man examined the reindeer boy in front of him, and scoffed. “What’s a little kid like you doing without yer Mom or Dad huh? You might get lost in ‘ere.” he said gruffly but still moves to pack up the chamomile, scaling it as he looks at Chopper.
Chopper was a little scared, he was afraid he'd get chased away but the old man was actually concerned about him shopping alone. “Thank you, Mister.” he said handing his money and the old man gave him his change. Chopper tucked the change in his bag and went on his way to your meeting place.
It was a successful purchase and Chopper is filled with joy, you entrusted him for this errand and he did it! He’d like to reunite with you right away and see that proud smile on your face. He’s hopping happily, he realized he definitely should tell Zoro he helped you out shopping today.
For Chopper, he felt like the world is much brighter now, but realistically speaking even the sunny days can have occasional dark clouds painting its sky. He hops happily and a store nearby caught his attention and he decided to make a quick stop.
After purchasing something from the change he got from buying chamomile, Chopper continues his way back to your meeting place, looking forward to show you what he bought.
Chopper ran into something hard, the impact sent him butt first on the ground, thankfully he held the shopping bag to his chest, so all his purchases were safe, he looked up and yelped, seeing a man tower over him.
“Ow!” Chopper exclaimed in pain, rubbing the sore spot and some scratches he got from stumbling, “Please look upfront when you’re walking…” he said in his tiny voice looking up at the man.
“Oy, can’t you see where you’re going huh? Your old folks didn’t teach you manners huh?”
You saw the scene unfold, the man crouched down on Chopper’s level about to pick him up by his gruff and you stepped in, you wouldn’t want Chopper’s first act of independence corrupted by a bad experience, you wouldn’t want anyone stealing that feeling of freedom from him, not while you’re here.
“I have manners! That’s why I walk properly! You’re the one who wasn't looking!” Chopper stood up despite his small figure. He looked up at the man who’s so much taller than him, he wouldn’t back down, no, not when you and Zoro taught him nothing’s ever gonna happen if he won’t have the courage to always take the first step.
You held your dagger tucked in your waist, as much as possible you wouldn’t want to draw any attention, but if Chopper’s safety is compromised you won’t hesitate to get some blood stain in this concrete pavement.
You took a step forward, ready to scoop up Chopper in your arms, but he seemed fine, he’s standing his ground, his brows furrowed, his eyes are determined.
“You little piece of shit—” the man was about to hit Chopper with his clenched fist and your grip on your dagger tightened ready to charge yourself to the man but you felt the breeze shift, heavy footsteps echoed in the cold concrete pavement of the marketplace and you heard that rough voice from behind.
“It appears to me that you need to learn some manners.”
Zoro steps in holding your hand to the side stopping you from drawing your dagger, a quick gentle look at you made you drop your hands to your side, knowing Zoro is gonna take care of this by himself. he steps towards terrified Chopper and helped him get up, Zoro’s eyes scanned Chopper quickly looking if there are any injuries, he saw some scratch probably from the impact of his collision with the man.
Zoro’s pupils turned to slit as he saw the scratch, he approached the man whose eyes set in his swords, he blocked Chopper’s line of sight so he wouldn't see the man.
“Ha—who are you? Why do you care about that runt? You can’t even get much from it even if you turn it into stew.” the man laughed.
Zoro tilted his neck and with a swift motion he used his long leg to kick the man, making him fall down to his knees, Zoro towered over his kneeling figure and looked at him with a cold glare, seeing the man tremble being face to face with the hilt of his three swords.
Zoro grabbed a fistful of the man’s hair and threw him stumbling backwards, some people began to watch and Chopper felt his world close in, he could hear the murmur of people wondering what he is and he tries to hide himself by covering himself with his hooves and you pushed against the gathering crowd scooping him up in your arms along with his shopping bags, he immediately hid his face on your neck.
When you succeeded in hiding Chopper from the eyes of the crowd, Zoro walked towards the man lying on the floor with a terrified look on his face as he tries to scoot away from the swordsman, but Zoro was quicker—he used the sole of his boots to pin the man in place.
“Now, you know what it feels like to be small. The next time you try to pick a fight with someone smaller than you, always remember. There’s a much bigger predator around, ready to gobble you up.”
Zoro didn’t waste any more second to harm the man further, the terrified look as the man crawled away from him was enough. The crowd lost interest at the way the fight ended, not witnessing a proper brawl given the other ran away with a shattered dignity and pride.
The swordsman made his way out of the dissipating crowd, it took him a while to work his way out and find his way back to where he even came in and after struggling to find the right exit, he found you and Chopper in a stall far from the commotion, the reindeer is not terrified, instead he’s looking at you with a worried look while you were trying to explain something.
“But Zoro is still there right? What if he gets lost?”
You tried to hold back your laugh, Chopper looked terrified earlier but he seemed to have gotten over it when he saw Zoro fought for him. You gently brush his fur, “Well why don’t you turn around?” you looked over Chopper’s shoulder, the reindeer followed your line of sight and saw Zoro unscathed.
“Zoro!” he calls his hooves up, the swordsman smirks at the enthusiastic way the reindeer reached out, when he was close enough to the two of you, he scoot close for Chopper to reach him and let the reindeer climb up to his shoulder from your arms.
You noticed the soft smile plastered in his lips but you said nothing letting Chopper hold onto him. “Thank you, Zoro. You’re so cool!” Chopper smiled and Zoro smugly looked at him, “I know. Come on, they’re all back on the ship.” He took the shopping bags from you and the three of you made your way to the Going Merry.
“What took you guys so long?!” Usopp asked.
Zoro helped you up the ship, his arms by your waist as he carried you straight up, you blushed at the sudden display of skinship in front of your crew but they seemed to be preoccupied with their own thing.
Sanji cooked a hearty meal for dinner and everyone gathered around sharing stories from your trip in the marketplace but instead of Usopp, the storyteller, someone else is doing all the talking.
Chopper immediately bragged about it to Nami and the other crew. Who listened to his every word, even Luffy did not come short in terms of reacting to his anecdotes. “And then I went to the old man’s stall to buy chamomile for tea! And then—I got the change for myself to buy something nice.” he said proudly.
“And then I bumped into this rude man! He wasn’t looking where he was going and he bumped into me! I wasn’t scared but Zoro still came to save me! The rude guy crawled away”
You watched him share his ‘adventures’ to the crew while you sat beside Zoro sipping the chamomile tea that Chopper bought by himself, “He handled it better than I expected.” you told him watching the reindeer become the center of attention for the night because of his stories.
Zoro placed a hand on your thigh taking your teacup to sip on it, a habit he got used to doing now. He looked at Chopper and hums, giving your teacup back to you, licking his lips. “Well, he’s grown…” Zoro whispers. “Quite fast don’t you think? A month ago he’s so timid he’d often run behind your legs to hide.” he said, amused but you easily caught the proud smile on his lips.
“Well, he seems to be learning from the best.” you whisper leaning on his shoulder, placing your hand over his that rests on your thigh.
Zoro smirks looking down at you, sneakily kissing your forehead while your crewmates are busy being entertained by Chopper.
“Wait, you said you bought something for yourself right?” Nami asked curiously.
Chopper suddenly looked shy looking down and the entire crew got curious even more, Sanji leaned in to encourage the reindeer, supported by Usopp who’s eager to know what Chopper buys from the money he got.
Zoro looked curious as well but you just smiled knowingly when Chopper climbs down the wooden chair, his tiny hooves tap around the wooden floor of the ship as he walks toward a small secured shopping bag.
The swordsman saw the meaningful smile you had and squeezed your hand, “What did he buy?” he asked and you just shrugged. “Dunno, why don’t you wait patiently and find out?” you said tapping his cheek so he’d look at Chopper rummaging through the shopping bag while the crew watched close.
“Oh, is it food?” Luffy asked.
Vivi laughs at Luffy’s train of thought shaking her head, “I highly doubt it.” she said looking at Chopper who has a shy smile as he faces the crew.
Chopper shifts his weight from foot to foot avoiding eye contact but after a while he finds the courage to meet their expectant gaze with a boyish grin, his cute tiny teeth out.
“I got this!”
He pulls out a toy wooden sword from the shopping bag, and the crew blinks at the way Chopper held it up proudly.
Zoro’s eyes widened as he saw the wooden sword, Chopper met his gaze and the little boy shyly smiled. “Well…I was gonna buy candies. But I saw this, and it’s cool right? Like Zoro…his swords are cool.” he waves the wooden sword decorated with charms and intricate wood carvings, he waves it proudly holding it up showing it to Zoro.
“So cool right?!” he exclaimed, letting the green haired swordsman see the sword properly and Zoro smirks.
“Good choice for your first purchase.” he says cooly, but as you look up at him you notice his cheeks slightly dusted with pink and you smiled patting Chopper’s head, you already knew what he bought given you saw him carefully choose it himself.
The crew congratulated Chopper for his first purchase, letting the reindeer boy brag about his new item. Though, the crew’s energy couldn’t keep up with him and one by one they made their way out of the kitchen to sleep leaving you and Zoro with a hyper Chopper.
“You know you can’t carry it around like that all the time.” Zoro told Chopper as the reindeer boy settled in your lap.
Chopper realized that he really can't carry it by his hand all the time. “I’ll put it in my backpack.” he said looking up at you to back him up but Zoro took the sword from his hand, the wooden sword looking smaller in his large hands.
“You need a sheath for it.” he explained simply and Chopper’s eyes sparkled in wonder, “Oh like yours? Then I’ll hang it on my waist as well?” he asked excitedly and Zoro chuckled, handing him his sword back.
Zoro hummed, “We might find some spare leather for that.” he said, yawning his head resting on top of yours and Chopper smiled leaning on the shared warmth that you both offered. “The chamomile might help you sleep, properly.” he whispers to Zoro, with the short time that he is around, he knows the man keeps watch consistently, it’s no wonder he couldn’t sleep properly, his body got used to his broken sleep cycle.
Chopper glanced up at you, realizing you had bought the chamomile for Zoro and he let out a small smile when he met your gaze. You put a finger in your lips hushing him softly when you see the realization in his eyes.
Chopper heard Zoro’s breathing even out and he let out a quiet chuckle, imitating your gesture and letting the swordsman sleep with his head on top of you, while Chopper sits on your lap holding his wooden sword as he moves around lying across your lap, and Zoro’s. He closed his eyes, his head on your lap while you gently brushed his fur as the three of you shared your solace while the Going Merry sails through the waves of the vast unknown.
