A/N: Hello everyone! This is my very first fanfiction. Focusing on Zoro and Robin, and their moment after the incident in Enies Lobby. Anyway, Oh just letting you know, that since English isn't my first language, I apologize for the misspellings or grammatical error. Hope you enjoy!

Peaceful Night

The sun has gone to rest, the moon was now so visible in the night sky. It was in the middle of the night at Water 7. The town was so quiet and peaceful at night. Snores and mumbles could be heard continuously in the small cottage where the Strawhats were staying. The cottage that the citizens had provided them to stay until they got a new ship. The cottage that currently was their hideout. It wasn't that big, but it was enough for the crew. Most of the crew were in their deep slumber, they had been so exhausted, it had been a rough day for them, maybe the roughest day they have ever experienced. What they had been through was so unbelievable. They just declared war against the World Government, then they managed to beat all of CP9 Agents, and then they also unbelievably managed to survive from Buster Call. What a luck for them, and what a big disaster for the World Government. The Strawhats did all of that, just to save their nakama.

Nico Robin, the woman who now finally found a place where she belonged, was sitting alone in the outside. Her hands were holding a mug of hot coffee, her favorite drink that kept her company in this cold night. As always, she felt like she couldn't sleep, even though this time not because of things that usually bothered her. This time, something was different in her, her facial expression wasn't gloomy or emotionless like she usually put on. She looked more alive. This time, she smiled, a pure smile on her face. She was gazing up at the stars, they were shining so bright tonight, and they were like reflecting what the Archaeologist felt right now. Happy and safe. Something that she now could feel. After twenty years of running, she finally found her true nakama. Where she could be herself, where she wasn't being used, and where she was accepted completely by them no matter how dark her past was, no matter how dangerous her enemy was. Her nakama, The Strawhats would always protect her even if they had to face hell in order to get her back. She wasn't lost anymore.

What had happened today must be shocking the whole world really bad. As they had to admit their defeat because of a small group of rookie pirates. This must be really embarrassing incident for the Government. And Robin could assume that soon enough, the Government would consider the Strawhats as high threat. She knew the Government would keep chasing her, they would never stop until the last of Oharan deceased. But it doesn't matter now, because she wasn't alone, she wasn't afraid of this fate anymore. Her nakama would never turn her in to the Government. They would protect her at any cost, and they had proved it today.

The Raven Haired Archaeologist sipped her coffee slowly, closing her eyes for a second or two as she savored the taste of the coffee in her tongue. Suddenly something popped in her mind, some event in the past when she was still a kid. She remembered her friend, Jaguar D. Saul, and what he had told her right before he was being frozen to death. Saul told her that one day she would meet her own nakama, that would protect her, because no one would live alone forever in this world. Those words… those words that at first she didn't want to believe, that she also had given up believing about what her friend, Saul, told her. Just now. she finally could prove that Saul was right.

"You're right, Saul. Now I have found place where I belong." Robin said softly, even though what she said wasn't much, but the meaning was so deep. Facing up the night sky. Her face was beaming happily. She wondered if her friend, Saul, and her mother, Nico Olvia, were now watching her from heaven. If they were, maybe they could stop worrying her from now on, because her life has changed, a bright future ahead, that she was looking forward to it. She was so grateful that her nakama saved her, and proved her that her life was so precious, that she meant so much to them, just like they did to her. Her nakama gave her hope and spirit to live on, to achieve her dream, to find the true history.

Robin continued to sit there, remained silent, just enjoying the peaceful night. She sure had spent about an hour or maybe two in the outside, and she hadn't felt sleepy yet. She still wanted to think and ponder. Because honestly, sometimes she was still unsure if this was real or not. To feel so comfortable and safe. She even hadn't got used to it yet, as she spent her lifetime with worries and fears. That's why she had to ponder a little bit more. Goodness, All she knew that everyone was asleep, so she assumed no one would notice her being outside. She knew if her crew noticed, they would be worried about her health and begged her to get some sleep, or maybe they would be paranoid, afraid if she was going to leave the crew again. No, they didn't need to worry about her leaving the crew, she was officially a part of them, The Strawhat Pirates, and she would never leave them. Never.

Robin was too preoccupied with herself, that she even didn't hear that the door was opened, and someone was slowly walking toward the spot where she was sitting.

"H-Hey. " The person started, sounded like he was hesitating to talk to her which made him a bit stutter when he spoke. "Can't sleep?"
