Summary
Zoro’s used to being the one people rely on in a fight. A tool. A shield. A sword (or three). No one’s ever accused him of being intelligent—or even having common sense. Then he met Luffy—and the rest of them—and somehow, he thought he’d found something different. People who saw him as something other than an idiot. Something other than a weapon.
But between getting lost, missing things everyone else seems to just get, and saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time, it’s not hard to start hearing the same old story again—from the very people he opened himself up to: he’s stupid, and he’s only good with a sword.
And if that’s how the Straw Hats see him… then maybe that’s all he is.
The problem is, the Straw Hats don’t realize what they’re reinforcing.
And by the time they do, Zoro’s already running himself into the ground trying to be useful enough to keep.
Now they just have to figure out how to fix something they didn’t even know they broke—before he breaks himself for good.

Summary
The second time the Nein come to Vurmas, it isn't as friends. Essek seeks refuge with the one person they (hopefully) won't approach.
That is how it happened. Definitely.

Summary
It was a bit depressing, Verin mused, that the letter sitting on his desk terrified him more than all the horrors of Bazzoxan.
Verin, his mother had written. Essek is dead.
Verin read it again.
Essek is dead.
Or: Verin's brother is dead, and no one can tell him why. The only way to get answers is to track down the Mighty Nein.

Summary
When he imagined dying it was usually about his mistakes catching up to him, a kind of justice. Not like this.
Essek gets snatched by some people who have been looking to capture him. But possibly not looking for Essek Thelyss, specifically.

Summary
The poison would have instantly killed a lesser man. Sanji finds a way to feel guilty about it, and Zoro is just as tenacious as ever.
Zoro is on death's door and somehow, for some god-forsaken reason, manages to make his way into the kitchen. Sanji can't fathom why.
