Nightshift 31: Activities Shed
[from here]
Once, twice, thrice... with a heavy grunt, Zoro managed to break through the locks. The room was dark but his flashlight was still on and he calmly surveyed the different items in the shed.
Casually perusing through the sports equipment, Zoro took his time in the dark. He observed a helmet curiously, tossing it up and down with one hand as if it were a ball. The wood and aluminum bats in the corner drew his attention and, with the helmet tucked under his arm, Zoro pulled one from the pile.
Flashlight clenched between his teeth, Zoro gave the bat an experimental swing. It was aluminum and seemed to work well if not for his strength overcompensating the momentum of the relatively light object. He drew out two more, tucking all three into the right side of his haramaki. It certainly didn't balance out and he hated having to resort to baseball bats for his defense, but the pirate internally conceded that nothing could be done about it for now. Nami herself had taken to using Usopp's clothing rod for a weapon.
After a final glance around the room revealed nothing more useful than what he already had, Zoro turned and left, still carrying the helmet with him. Maybe he'll give it to the cook. Lugging it around would be worth the laugh.
