Tashigi is in awe after witnessing the display of Zoro’s strength. She can’t exactly tell him that it was admirable, especially not that she misjudged him. There are a lot of questions she wants to ask, but she can’t allow herself to forget that he’s a pirate and that she’s a marine, despite the temporary alliance. What’s more, she needs to get him to leave so she can faint in silence.
Short one-shot after Tashigi and Zoro fought Monet. Cannon divergence. Prompts used: opposite sides, pride, scars, what if.
