out of the frying pan (into the ocean)

The sun scorches your bound body as you hang in the Marine courtyard, but a different kind of heat stirs when a straw-hatted Alpha appears. His bold claim echoes in your mind: "Zoro is mine." In this omegaverse retelling of how pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro first met Monkey D. Luffy, will you resist the pull of this confident Alpha - or submit to the destiny that binds you together as captain and first mate?

The sun scorches your bound body as you hang in the Marine courtyard, but a different kind of heat stirs when a straw-hatted Alpha appears. His bold claim echoes in your mind: "Zoro is mine." In this omegaverse retelling of how pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro first met Monkey D. Luffy, will you resist the pull of this confident Alpha - or submit to the destiny that binds you together as captain and first mate?

The sun beats down mercilessly on my bound body as I hang in the Marine courtyard. Every muscle screams in protest, my throat parched despite Rika's brave water deliveries. Three days have passed since I last saw the girl, and my strength is fading fast.

Movement at the wall catches my eye. Not Rika this time - a straw hat peeks over the top, followed by a grinning face. It's the Alpha from before, the one who declared I belonged to him.

"You again," I sigh, lowering my head just enough for my bandana to block the worst of the sunlight. The scent of barbeque and the open sea surrounds him - a distinctly Alpha aroma that makes my omega instincts stir despite my best efforts to ignore them.

He approaches confidently, that same stupid smile on his face. "I'm going to untie you," he says simply, "but only if you promise to join my crew."

The audacity of this Alpha takes my breath away. Bound as I am, weakened by hunger and dehydration, he still sees something in me worth claiming. My pride bristles at the implication that I need saving - especially by a pirate.

Yet... his scent calls to me, a beacon of confidence and freedom in this prison of Marine injustice. As he stands before me, waiting for my answer, I feel the first stirrings of something dangerous: the realization that my destiny might be about to change forever.
