Robin watched from the cafe seat at the small but bustling town. The place was an island that majored in trade, especially in the fact that the log time for poses there was stored in a strange fashion; the new log was collected instantly, but only from a single point on the island. Anywhere else, and the pose reacted as if it was in open sea. With no way to lose their current tracking, it was a perfect place to stop for supplies.
It was a longer stop that they usually had, and Luffy took to his extended shore leave with the same exuberance he took to everything else. The local children had taken a liking to him, and they'd taken Luffy to all of their little secret adventuring places with smiles and laughter. There had been stories told and games played for a few days now, and Luffy was currently taking a nap in the middle of the main road. While he snored away, the children took great amusement in being protectors of sorts, shooing away those who might accidentally step on him (save for Sanji who had stepped on him on purpose for eating nearly all of the stores again), or shushing anyone deemed too loud. The boys saw themselves as quite valiant, but the two small girls watched the captain with a note of confusion.
Robin bit back giggles at their conversation, always with her eyes and ears everywhere; "Do you think it would work?" Asked the youngest, fiddling with her fingers in lieu of the stuffed monkey she'd offered as Luffy's pillow.
"Well, sure." Said the older; it was clear the second girl was teasing the little one, but the younger child's eyes were as wide and bright as Chopper's at the story. "A prince wakes up a princess with one, right? So, he's not a king yet, so he's a prince. It should work backwards. Even if the only princessy thing about you is your name."
"Okay." Spoke the little girl confidently, thought she approached Luffy with caution and care. The boys watched her curiously, but chorused with disgust as she lay a kiss on the captain's nose.
