A.N: Took a little longer than before, but the chapter is a bit longer too. Anyway, at the end of "Teasing Wars" I tried to make it sound like Robin was badly sick and didn´t have long to live, but… didn´t work, most people saw through it. Anyway, 11 review for chapter 2? Now that´s something!

Chapter 3: The Truth

"Say what?" Zoro asked, looking up at Robin. He had heard wrong, right?

"He´s our son, Zoro" Robin said, smiling calmly yet somewhat sadly "He´s a year and half already"

"But…" Zoro said, looking at the photo again "How?"

Robin stared at him blankly for a moment before speaking: "Well, Zoro, when a man and a woman-"

"That´s not what I meant!" Zoro yelled with a red face "I meant when! When did it happen?!"

"Well in case you´ve forgotten" Robin said with a sigh "We only slept together once"

Zoro paused, looking like he was thinking of something.

"But if he´s one and half, then-"

"I was on my second month when I found out in the revolution HQ" Robin told "He was born a month before he was supposed to"

"I see- wait, revolution HQ?" Zoro asked the shock clear on his face. Robin laughed a little, realizing she hadn´t told about that yet.

"Sorry" she said, explaining where Kuma had sent her and what happened after that.

"They didn´t hurt you did they?"

"Who? The revolutionaries?"

"No" Zoro said "The people at that bridge"

Robin blinked a few times before shaking her head.

"No, nothing big at least" she says "Why do you ask? I can take care of myself, which you should already know"

"Yeah" Zoro confirmed with a sigh "I was just worried"

"I´m fine just like you can see" Robin said "Don´t worry"

"I meant the baby!" Zoro yelled, freezing as he realized he may have yelled too loud. He looked down from the window, but no one was looking in their direction. That was a relief.

"…did the boy born as healthy" Zoro asked.

"Yes" Robin said and Zoro sighed in relief "But…"

"But what?" Zoro asked, alerted "Is there something wrong with our son?"

Robin turned her gaze away again, which didn´t help Zoro at all.

"Robin" he said again "What´s wrong with our son?"

"Well, everything seemed fine first, but when he learned how to crawl, well…" Robin said with a sigh "We realized he has absolutely no sense of direction"

"…"

"…"

"Are you making fun of me?!" Zoro yelled with a red face, making Robin laugh.

"Well, that too" she admitted "But he really has no sense of direction"

"…I suppose I owe you an apology" Zoro muttered, making Robin raises her eyebrow "What for?"

"I heard when you were talking in the phone by accident" Zoro told "I only heard the last words clearly and… well…"

"And you thought I was cheating on you"

"Yeah" Zoro admitted "Sorry, I shouldn´t have doubted you"

"It´s okay" Robin said "I should have told you about this before, but there was just so much everything that I didn´t really get a chance."

"That´s okay… but why did you tell me now? Because of the phone call?" Zoro asked, realizing something "And who called? Surely the kid couldn´t have done it alone… right?"

Robin laughed.

"No, the one who called was one of the army´s doctors, Sabo-kun" she said "He had given out our son´s name since he didn´t want to tell his own"

"Why?" Zoro asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He didn´t want to take the risk of our captain hearing his name" Robin told "He´s Luffy´s older brother"

"What!?" Zoro yelled and Robin quickly shushed him "What?" he asked, more quietly this time.

"Apparently he, Luffy and Fire Fist Ace drank cups of sake and became sworn brothers" Robin told "Later he set out to the sea, got in to an accident and was saved by Dragon. That´s pretty much all I know"

"And why are you telling me all this now?" Zoro asked. Robin was about to answer when they heard Luffy yell: "An island! I can see an island!"

"That´s why" Robin said "Sabo-kun, our son and one of the revolutionists, Nora, are on the next island"

Zoro blinked. On the next island? His son was on the next island that was already in sight? He was going to meet his son? But wait…

"How did they know we were coming? Our mini den den mushi can´t pick up a signal from too far away…"

"I suppose Nora´s devil fruit ability helped them out with this one" Robin said with a chuckle "Now let´s go down to others. And Zoro"

"I know" he said "I won´t say anything about this to anyone; we´ll tell when they ask"

Robin nodded.

"We can only stay on the island as long as it takes for the log pose to set" Robin told "So let´s not waste any time"

Zoro nodded and the two of them left the crow´s nest. Once on the deck Robin asked Nami how long it will take them to reach the island.

"About an hour" Nami replied "Why?"

"Because there are some people in that island that we should meet" Robin said, gaining everyone´s attention.

"Really? Who?" Nami asked.

"Let me guess" Sanji said, lighting a cigar "That Kôkogaku guy, right?"

"Yes, him and two revolutionists" Robin confirmed, getting Luffy´s attention.

"Revolutionists?" he asked "They work for my dad?"

"Yes they do; I met them two years ago while training" Robin told "And I´m sure that at least one of them would want to meet you"

"Really? Who?" Luffy asked. Robin smiled, saying: "You´ll see"

"Is there a reason you´re telling all this to us now?" Nami asked and Robin nodded.

"Yes there is. I´d like to take Zoro and Luffy with me to meet them and the others to stay on the ship, if that´s alright" she said. Franky´s eyes caught Zoro´s and he mouthed: "What the hell?"

"You´ll see" Zoro mouthed back with a smirk.

"What? I can understand Luffy but why the idiot Marimo, Robin-swan?" Sanji asked, not understanding why she´d take Zoro with them.

"Because there´s someone who wants to meet him" Robin replied "Is this alright with everyone?"

"Of course" Nami replied, stomping on Sanji´s toes as he was about to protest "Right, Sanji-kun?"

"Yes, Nami-san" the blond said with a sigh, completely defeated.

"Ne, Robin" Chopper said, tugging at Robin´s arm "What kind of people are they?"

"You´ll see" Robin replied, patting Chopper on the head. The reindeer pouted; why wasn´t she telling him?

XXXXX

An hour later they arrived to the island and Robin, together with Zoro and Luffy, jumped down from the ship.

"Don´t let those two get out of your sight Robin; we don´t need any trouble!" Nami called from the ship, making Robin laugh.

"I´ll do my best" the archeologist called back, leaving towards the village with the captain and the first mate.

"They´re waiting for us at the end of the village" Robin said "Let´s go"

They walked through the village with Luffy asking "Are we there yet?" all the time.

"There they are" Robin said with a smile, seeing a familiar redhead who put the toddler she had been carrying on the ground as she noticed them.

"Robin!" she yelled, tackling the archeologist to the ground as she hugged her "I missed you!"

"I missed you too Nora" Robin said, patting the younger girl´s head as she got up. Nora whispered something to Robin´s ear, who nodded.

"Luffy, someone´s waiting for you in the woods. You´ll find him by going straight ahead about a kilometer from here" Robin told.

"Okay" Luffy said with a shrug. If there was someone who wanted to meet him in the woods, then he´d go in to the woods. To him it was that simple "See ya guys!"

When Luffy was out of sight Robin felt someone tug her long skirt. Robin looked down, smiling as she saw the green haired toddler at her feet.

"Mommy!" the little boy yelled happily, hugging Robin´s legs when he finally got her attention. She bent down, patting her son´s head.

"Have you been a good boy, Kôkogaku?" she asked. The green haired little boy nodded, letting go of her legs and taking a hold of her arm instead.

"Yes mommy!" he said. Robin smiled, creating a few extra arms to pull Zoro, who was standing next to her, down. She pulled her arm away from Kôkogaku´s grip, gently pushing him towards Zoro.

"Kôkogaku, meet your father, Roronoa Zoro"
