I don't own One Piece.
The story on hand, 'Heaven and hell' is fan-fiction. I wrote it, because I love to write, but I will not use 'Heaven and hell' in any commercial way.

Author's note1: This story is my… interpretation of the Skypia-arc ;-) I've added my NamiRobin-story to it and – of course – the relationship between these two is the absolute main subject of this story.
Author's note2: Warning for SPOILERS! (Hey, I've rewritten the Skypia-arc from the POV of Robin and Nami! You shouldn't read if you haven't seen this arc.)
Author's note3: I've decided to focus the story on the NamiRobin-relationship. The storyline of the Skypia-arc isn't that important to me in this story: I've briefed some Skypia-scenes in this story and I've left out many of the anime scenes… I did that for the very reason because I don't want to get trouble with fanfic and with the copyright ;-)
Author's note4: The corrected version is on the way. So if you find too many errors in grammar or language: Be patient ;-) It's coming soon!

"It was so mortifyingly!" Nami yelled, still in outrage.
Robin sighed, "I see, Nami-chan, but you have to see that they acted sensibly. Otherwise they had attracted attention. Remember that we want the find the golden island and nothing else. And… I'm sorry, Nami, but perhaps Luffy and Zoro were right. You forbid them to fight, so they just did what you told them."
Nami rolled her eyes and shouted, "Bellamy wanted to BUY me! At least, I had expected that you would storm into the stupid inn and rip him into pieces! But all you do is lying here with a stupid grin!"
Nami turned around, stared at the wall and ignored Robin completely. The archeologist lay at her side and sighed.
Nami gave Robin a dangerous glance, and then she stood up and left the room.
Robin looked after the navigator.
It was damn complicated to live in a relationship and Robin had to say that she missed the easiness of living alone. Of course she had been alone almost her whole life and it was great to have someone at her side, but… she had to say that it was easier alone.
But it feels better at her side. More colorful and brighter. It's worth the trouble.
Robin didn't hesitate one more second and followed the orange haired woman upstairs. She could hear that Nami talked a few words to Zoro. Then Nami went to the tangerines.
The archaeologist entered the upper deck and tried to get a glance from her love.
Nami ignored her and pretended to check the trees.
Robin made a step to her and hugged her softly, "I'm sorry, Nami." She whispered in Nami's ear.
Nami didn't refuse the other woman, smuggled up to the raven haired woman and hesitated... Suddenly she kissed Robin and whispered, "Damn, it doesn't matter if Luffy and Zoro were right. Bellamy wanted to buy me… and all I want is that you show him what it means to insult and dishonor your lover."
"Yes, you're right… Do you want that I do it right now?" she smiled
"No, we have to go this other end of the island… No time to play with a green wannabe."
"But…"
Nami blinked and left the upper deck.
Robin shook her head and looked to the disappearing Nami in confusion.
"Problems?"
Robin turned around and saw Sanji standing at the rail.
Next to the fact that Nami hadn't given the boys the chance to comment her new relationship, they had accepted it quite fast. Sanji had need one or two more days, but in the end he had understood that both women were out of his reach. Robin knew that it was pretty hard for him, but he accepted it now.
"No, why do you ask?" Robin lied with a polite smile.
He hesitated, leant against the rail and dragged at his cigarette… he didn't look at her and stared out to the open ocean, "She just wanted to hear that you're on her side."
"But I told her that I will do so!"
"She wanted to hear it."
"She knows that I do so. Remember that I love her. I will always be at her side. But I don't understand why to say it again and again."
"You hadn't had many lovers, Robin?" Sanji smiled.
"I had enough lovers, cook-san, but I had no relationships. Perhaps I don't understand her because of that."
"Hm… How to say this? Actually, it's easy: She can't have enough of you, so tell her that you love her all the time."
In the background they saw Ussop and Zoro preparing the ship for departure.
"Hm… Relationships don't seem to be logic. It's not logic to tell her all the time that I love her. My feelings won't change and she knows that."
"Yes, that's not logic. But relationships come from the heart not from the mind."
Robin sighed, "I know… And I like that. I don't know why, but I like it. I like to be near her and feel her emotions. But I don't understand it."
"Hey, potato-peeler! Move and help us!" Zoro yelled in the background.
Sanji rolled his eyes and turned back to the archaeologist, "Robin-chan, believe me, it's a work for a lifetime to 'understand' love. I can't give you the answer you want to hear… but I think that the only important thing is that you show Nami your true love."
Robin hesitated and nodded. Then Sanji went to the sail and helped Zoro to set it.

The journey led to an anchorite named Montblanc Cricket and they had talked a lot… about the golden city and the story of Nolan the Liar. Robin didn't know what to believe. Of course in every story was a little truth and it had been fascinating to see the golden relics, but… she wasn't sure if this was enough. To look for lost cities was more than to find gold and to tell thrilling stories. Archeology was a science and she had to work like a scientist.
Then they had come back from their trip to find one of those southbirds and had found their destroyed ship and the beaten Montblanc Cricket and Luffy had gone mad… Robin didn't like to see her captain mad… And she knew that Bellamy would pay.
Anyway.
She startled, when she heard footfalls behind her. Then she smiled.
"Robin?" Nami spoke softly.
"Yes, love?"
"Eh, I'm sorry for my harsh words this afternoon. I know I'm complicated."
Robin's face brightened and she turned to the navigator, Thanks, Nami, you are the best!
"And I'm sorry for my reactions. You were right. I should have torn him into pieces!"
"Oh, Luffy will do this for you."
"Hm, by the way, aren't you afraid that Bellamy defeats captain-san?"
Silence.
Nami stared at her friend and began to giggle evilly, "Don't waste your time with thinking such stupid things. Come on and help us to repair the ship! We have to be ready when Luffy comes back."
Nami turned around to the ship and Robin followed her.
Perhaps Nami was right. Perhaps it was unrealistic and stupid to be afraid of their captain, but one wrong step and all was gone… Whatever. The rest of the crew seemed to trust him and Robin had decided to do the same.
Suddenly she saw Nami in the corner of her eyes, and when the orange haired woman passed her way, she smiled at her… Nami, I will do everything for you. I'm still sure that you hurt me one day, but one moment with you is worth the hell. We're together because I wanted to be near you although you tore my heart into pieces… and it was the right decision. You have my heart. Please be careful… Please…
"Hey, don't dream, Robin," the navigator grinned and woke the dark haired women from her thoughts. Robin smiled and kept on working.

"They told me that they will do the rest on their own."
"Really?" the older woman just looked at Nami.
"Yeah. Sanji told me that we can rest for a while."
Robin smiled, "I have to thank him for this."
"That's exactly what I had in mind," the navigator added with a grin, took Robin's hand and entered their tent.
Robin didn't refuse. Nami pulled her into the tent and pushed her to the ground.
I know you will hurt me. That's clear. I've never found happiness for more than a few moments and I will pay for these great moments in your arms… But that's all right. I can't stop. I will love you as long as you allow.
"A coin for your thoughts," Nami smiled.
"Oh sorry, I was lost in thoughts…"
"I've seen. Hm, you can tell me."
The raven haired woman shook her head, "No, it's nothing."
"Sure?"
Robin rolled her eyes, "Yes… please, can we change the subject?"
"Eh, all right, sorry."
Silence.
"You really aren't afraid that captain-san loses the fight?"
Nami sighed, "NO. I tell you once more that we trust in his ability as a fighter."
"Ah, hm…"
"Yes! And you should do so, too. Just remember what he had done with Crocodile."
Yes and I remember that I had to save his live two times. In the end Luffy was victorious, but he isn't invincible.
"You're right. I'm sorry."
Nami focused on her, bent to her ear and and whispered, "You know, I would listen to you if you tell me, what you afraid about."
"Afraid?"
"Yes… And every time I try to break through your last shield, you withdraw."
"There's no more shield. I told you that I don't need this anymore when I'm with you."
Nami shook her head, "No, there's still a last protection around your real feelings."
Do you think that I tell you every detail of my life after two damn weeks?!
"I'm sorry, Nami, but you're wrong."
"There's a last place in your heart, which you didn't show me," the navigator declared again.
The darkness. I didn't show you the darkness in my heart.
Robin stared at her, and then she whispered, "Whatever. I want to sleep for a while."
The other woman hesitated and huddled against Robin's side.
