Zoro slowly walked away, heading toward a room.
Seeing this, Perona hurriedly asked, "Moss Head, what are you going to do?"
He was quite frightened just then. The castle was enormous and gloomy.
Back on Thriller Bark, she had at least had Kumashi for company. Once Zoro left, she would be all alone.
What she feared most was the dark, and bugs.
Zoro paused at her words but said nothing.
Then he stepped forward again.
Perona could only hug her knees tightly, calling out over and over, "Kumashi, Kumashi."
After just a little while, Zoro returned with a glass of water and slowly set it on the coffee table in front of Perona.
"Drink it if you want. I haven't touched it."
Zoro's tone was very stiff.
Hearing this, Perona couldn't help pouting, grumbling inwardly, He talks tough, but he's actually pretty kind.
Seeing that Perona hadn't moved, Zoro added, "Drink it if you want. If not, I'll pour it away."
Perona muttered under her breath, "Hmph! I'm the Ghost Princess. Plenty of people on Thriller Bark were willing to pour me water!"
Zoro asked, "What did you say?"
Perona said nothing. With a huff, she picked up the water from the table and gulped it down.
In the blink of an eye, she had drained the glass.
Seeing this, Zoro picked up the glass again and headed into the inner room.
Soon, he returned with another full glass of water and set it in front of Perona.
Perona picked it up and gulped down every drop again. After so many days without food or water, he really was unbearably thirsty.
Zoro took the glass into the inner room again, and when he came back, it was full once more.
"I'm not a water barrel! I've had enough to drink.
