Dead man's game (27794 words) by trxbblegum [AO3]
“I was wondering if you bothered to season this shit.” “What?” “Are you deaf? I said–” “No, I heard you, what?” — For someone like Zoro, death had simply been part of the job description when it came to his goal. You couldn’t be a swordsman- a strong one- if you didn’t accept the obvious warning signs. Neon ones that painted a clear picture: Caution ahead, high risk of dying. That’s not to say Zoro takes his life lightly. On the contrary, he’ll fight tooth and nail to stay standing, because how else would he continue to step forward towards his goal? Or: Part of Zoro dies during the Wano arc. The straw-hats, known to be miracle workers, are determined to figure out how to fix this.
