Chapter 2
There were no traces of the man, Nami described him, and Usopp froze. 'C-C-C-'
"Crocodile…" Sanji and Zoro snarled, they knew they had to tell Luffy. Yet, the issue of not knowing where Crocodile left with Robin was a problem that made them hesitate. If they told Luffy, he would want to finish Crocodile off then and there, but, without knowing Crocodile's whereabouts, they would get nowhere. Zoro stared at Nami. "So…Crocodile left with Robin, why did you not leave the room and call for help when he left?"
"We checked outside, he was gone, we just assumed he left completely or that we imagined him like a ghost."
"Considering us seeing Brook, ghosts are not uncommon, so…after what we've seen, it's understandable that you'd think it would be possible again. I mean, you can hear Brook's steps, speech and so on. So thinking that a dead Crocodile was just haunting you wouldn't seem too farfetched, but you still should have said something." Sanji mumbled, his index finger and thumb holding his chin in thought. Nami sighed. "Y-you're right…"
Sanji placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Nami…we'll find Robin." Nami looked up at Sanji, she had grown to trust the Straw Hats, ever since they saved her from Arlong…they even saved Robin from CP9 and Crocodile, they could do it again. Nami nodded her head, Zoro smirked, his arms crossed.
"Well, let's inform Luffy…" Zoro implied. Sanji turned to him, nodding. Usopp nodded as well, smiling as they left. He wanted to go back to sleep, but, with Robin missing and Crocodile to blame, he felt an anger that awoke something deep inside of him. Something long lost, but still burning bright. Courage. He stood up, walked out the door, and followed his fellow crew. They were going to tell Luffy together, and together, they were going to get Robin back and end Crocodile once and for all!
