Summary: "I do not wish to live, my existence itself is a crime. Please proceed."


Vivi couldn't believe it. She never liked the woman, of course, she was Miss All Sunday for crying out loud! The woman was the assistant of Sir Crocodile, the man that had sent Arabasta bankruptcy, destroyed their economy and made her lose everything she held dear. And that included her father.

It was mainly Crocodile's fault, of course, and Vivi was glad he was locked up now, but she couldn't believe Luffy, who had captured Crocodile and managed to prove that he was a corrupt bastard, had forgiven his assistant, Nico Robin, better known as Miss All Sunday. She was just as evil as he was!

But still, there she stood now, the gun on her hands firmly pointing towards the black-haired woman before her without hesitation. The same gun she had tossed towards her.

"Just pull the trigger, Vivi-san." Robin muttered. "I do not wish to live, my existence itself is a crime. Please proceed."

Vivi was not trembling. She hated the woman, she represented everything she didn't want to become, a heartless, cold female with absolutely no emotions, neither love, nor hate, because Nico Robin didn't show any feelings...

Yet, that didn't mean she didn't have them.

"Why?" Robin asked, watching Vivi toss away the gun and turn around.

"Because existing can't be considered a crime." Vivi answered, without turning around. "And if Luffy believes in you, then so do I."

And with those words, the young woman started walking away. She wasn't far away enough, though, and she heard Robin's response.

"But you do want to kill me."

"Yes, I do." Vivi replied. "But that doesn't mean I should. I'm not qualified to judge you, I'm not God."

And as she walked away, Vivi could've sworn she heard Robin commenting "You would make an excellent ruler, Vivi-san".
