Earning trust, part 4
Nami told everyone why Robin had left. Zoro felt relieved and angry at the same time. Relieved because Robin still cared about them, and angry because she didn´t believe that they could win the enemy here in Water 7.
"Well at least now it´s decided. We´ll get her back!"

Robin sat in the first car, watching out from the window.
"Soon this will be over… I´m gonna live the rest of my life in hell, but others will survive." she thought. She watched the waves from the window. She remembered how she had wished as a kid that she could go out to the sea someday. That was, of course, before the buster call. After that she had been moving in the sea way too much, from island to island.
And when she finally found happiness from the sea, she needed to let it go. She had to do it. She had to do it for them. And she didn´t regret it, not as long as the others were safe. That was all that mattered. Of course, if she had a choice, she would have continued with them. But she had no that kind of choice. She only had two choices: run and abandon others or turn herself in and save others. And she had chosen the last one.
"I need to calm down… I was ready to die in Arabasta, so I can be ready now, too." she thought. But the truth was that she didn´t want to die anymore. She would have wanted to continue sailing with them, especially now when everyone trusted her. Everyone, even Zoro.
"Well I´m pretty sure that he´s going to be the one who hates me most for this", she thought. She would have wanted to apologize from them, but if she had done that she would have most likely started to cry. And that would have been bad.
"Forgive me, mother. Looks like I can´t stay alive like you wished I would"

Robin sat in the sea train, thinking of Usopp´s words.
"Believe in Luffy", he had said. He, Sanji and some Franky guy, who was now in the first car with her, had tried to save her. But she had refused to go with them, because that would have gotten Straw hats in danger again.
"You sure have good friends", Franky said, getting Robin out of her thoughts.
"They are fools. I already told them goodbye." Robin said. Franky leaned back in his seat.
"Fools? Well, maybe. But really nice fools, don´t you think?" he asked. Robin didn´t reply. Franky was right, but she couldn´t turn back anymore. She couldn´t, and she wouldn´t.
Franky glanced at Robin.
"You´re a good person too, you know." he said. Robin´s eyes widened. How long had it been since someone had called her a good person? It had been years.
"You decided to sacrifice yourself for their sake. But it´s not gonna happen." Franky continued. Robin raised her head at this. She wondered what he meant.
"They will save you", was all he said.

"Can´t this thing go any faster!" Zoro thought when he was sitting in the `Rocket man´. He wanted to get to Robin already. Now they had many people, so they should be fine. But he was still so worried about Robin´s wellbeing.
"Please, Robin, be safe."
XXXXX
"This is it", Robin thought when the train arrived to Enies lobby. She saw how Franky fought against soldiers, but she couldn´t do that. It might put others in danger. So she went with the soldiers silently, waiting for her doom. Every single step took her closer to the hell. Only things Robin heard were steps, angry yells of soldiers and the sound of Franky fighting back.
Not even a single sign of hope.

An evil grin appeared on Zoro´s face when they arrived to Enies lobby. Now he could finally start to beat these people who took Robin from hi-
"What the hell am I thinking! Not from me, from US!" he yelled to himself in his mind. He didn´t even notice that he had been hitting himself in the face for quite some time now.
"Are you alright, Zoro-kun?" asked Sokeking aka Usopp, who had noticed what Zoro was doing.
"Whah? Uuh…"
"Shit!" Zoro thought. "How do I explain this to him?"
"…. I had a mosquito on my face." Zoro said, hoping that Usopp would believe it. Usopp sweatdropped. He knew there was no mosquito on Zoro´s face.
"Well, whatever you say." he said, more to himself than to Zoro. Zoro noticed that Usopp didn´t believe him, but decided to let it be as long as Usopp didn´t talk about it either.
"The most important thing right now is to get Robin safe"

Robin was sitting in the hallway with Franky. They were both chained, so there was no chance to escape. Though it didn´t matter to Robin, since she wasn´t trying to escape.
"I need to stay calm. After all, this is just the beginning of my pain." she thought. To be completely honest: she didn´t want to die. She had always been afraid of dying, but the death of people she cared about scared her even more. That was something she never wanted to see again.
Soldiers were attacking her friends, but she needed to obey them. Because if she wouldn´t do that, Spandam would use Buster call.
Franky watched Robin. He was amazed how far this woman was ready to go for her friends.
"She reminds me of Tom-san… ready to do anything for people she loves." he thought. He stared at the ceiling.
"Why does government want all good people to die?" he thought. He was trying to think of a good escape plan, but he knew that just him escaping wouldn´t be enough. Because even if he could escape, they would still have Robin who was able to read poneglyphs. And that was the biggest problem right now, especially when Robin didn´t even try to escape.
"If anything else doesn´t work, I have to burn the blueprints, kill Nico Robin and run for my life." Franky thought. That, however, was he´s last option. He really didn´t want to kill such a good person as Robin.

Zoro was annoyed. Really annoyed. He was lost again.
"Damn it! I was so worried about Robin that I lost the others!" he thought. He would have gotten lost anyway, but being worried about Robin was good excuse for himself. He decided to go up by breaking the ceiling and that´s what he did.
When he got to the roof, Luffy, Nami and Chopper were already there. And, on the other side of the waterfall, was Robin.
"Robin", he whispered silently.
"Hang in there, we´ll save you!"
XXXXX
"They´re all here… they came to save me! But… I can´t go with them, it would put them in danger!" Robin thought. Just seeing the others made her hold back her tears.
"I have to be strong. I need to make them turn around and leave."
XXXXX
Robin´s words rang in Zoro´s head.
"She wants to die, huh? Well, I´m not going to let that happen!" Zoro thought with an angry face. A little later a smirk came to Zoro´s face when Robin yelled:
"I want to live!"
A.N: Well did you like it? I put Franky into this because I didn´t want it to be just Zoro and Robin´s thoughts. Review, okay?
