"So he's a regular here," Zoro mutters. "Well, that explains a lot."
Naturally, there's the unspoken question of why Zoro is here. If not for the wings or the legs, then what the hell does he want? The dancers must have some idea, at least. But they've expectantly fixed their eyes on him, alongside Luffy.
He folds his arms over his chest.
"People here turn into Beasts," he explains. "Not the way Chopper does. More like some mystery illness that gets into your bloodstream. Makes your mind and your body go berserk if you don't know how to tame it. Most people try to suppress or avoid it. But then it usually happens sooner or later, and they're screwed until someone puts them down."
Zoro studies the dancers now, his gaze sharp and appraising. Like someone assessing a fighter or an opponent, rather than tonight's entertainment.
"Some people here have learned ways to control their Beasthood," he adds. His words are directed at Lulu and Candy, just as much as Luffy. "And I wanted to find out how. That's why the old man sent me."
