In the next few chapters I am going to only be doing a P.O.V. for all of the characters that are on the Sea Train so I apologize if any of you wanted to have more parts from the actual plot. Unfortunately, that is just too much work for me especially since I am trying to finish this story. I hope you all like it and please tell me if you see any errors throughout the story.
Chapter 11: Enies Lobby
Robin took one small look back at Water 7 as she boarded the ship with Franky causing mischief on the other side. She resisted the urge to cry anymore as she stepped inside and then sat on the seat. After only a few minutes the Sea Train took off from the Blue Station and headed towards the end of the road for her. She let a small smile grace her face as she remembered all of the wonderful memories she shared with everyone after they took her in. She smiled even brighter knowing that they would be safe from the wrath of the World Government.
"Even though I won't be there anymore please don't forget me." Robin said as she looked out of the window to see the endless ocean that she will miss dearly.
~Sanji~
"Now I wonder what would be the best course of action to go about all of this." Sanji says to himself as he lit a cigarette and faced the agent that stood in front of him.
The agent quickly charged towards him, but he was kicked back into the door. All of the agents in that car quickly looked back to see Sanji. "Guess that's my answer." Sanji says as they all charge at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Sanji continued as they all continued to charge for him with their weapons in hand. Sanji puffed a bit of smoke into the air as he easily took them all out with a few solid kicks here and there.
"On to the next car." Sanji said as he stood up above all of the beaten up agents.
~CP9 Car~
"So what are our means of security just in case the Strawhats do anything stupid?" Kaku asked as he sat in his seat on the sea train.
"Well, we have Marine Captain T-Bone in the fifth car, Wanze of CP7 in the fourth car, Nero in the third, us in the second car, and Nico Robin in the first car." Corgi said with little hesitation as he stood of front of all of the members of CP9.
"Have you heard anything good about this new member of CP9, Kalifa?" Lucci asked as he glanced back at her as she sat in her own seat near Kaku.
"Indeed I have, he is supposed to known to be very profitable. Some even have called him a "superman" with his techniques and skills." Kalifa said as she adjusted her glasses.
"Is that so? Well, we'll just have to see about that." Lucci said as he smirked lightly and Hattori cooed.
"Basically, with all of the reinforcements we have there is no way any of them would even reach this car let alone get near Nico Robin." Kaku stated.
"Of course they wouldn't, they'd die just trying. The least they could do is accept her kindness and move on while they have the chance." Kalifa said as she flipped her hair out of her face.
Lucci hummed slightly once the room became silent, just as he did so Hattori perched himself on the spot next to where he had been sitting. Lucci slowly got up from his seat and walked to the door to the first car. Before he stepped out of the door he glanced back at everyone. "Please excuse me for a moment, I'm going to see how our guest is doing." Lucci said as he closed the door silently behind himself and walked into the first car.
"I don't want to seem like I'm assuming, but does anyone else notice Lucci's strange behavior when he is around Nico Robin?" Kaku asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, I was wondering about that myself. He's not his usually cold self when he's around her." Kalifa said as she adjusted her glasses.
"You don't think that he's started to have feelings for her, do you?" Kaku asked them all.
"It would be a rare sight to see Lucci have feelings for anything in that manner except for Hattori." Blueno said as he Hattori cooed at his statement and perched himself upon his left shoulder.
"That may be true, but something is really bothering me about his actions with Nico Robin." Kaku said.
"Well it would be best if we all just kept our eyes open for the time being just in case we are wrong. The last thing we need to do is start a ruckus with him about something as simple as that." Kalifa said flatly.
"Understood." They all said as they left the matter alone.
~Lucci & Robin~
"How are you doing, Nico Robin?" Lucci asked her as he took a seat in front of her.
"I'm doing just fine, and you?" Robin asked with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
"You should know the answer to that question." Lucci told her with a small smile.
"Do I know the answer to that question? Let's see you could happy because you have practically succeeded in your mission, or you could be unhappy because you keep lying to yourself and everyone else around you." Robin said coldly as she hung her head low and fought not to look at him in the eye.
"You still think I regret putting my duty before you?" Lucci asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, I know you regret putting your duty before me. What other reason do you have for asking such a question at a time like this?" Robin asked as she finally met his gaze with eyes that could turn the world to ice in an instant.
"Amusement." Lucci said flatly.
"You'll never admit to the things you want most on your own, but I find it funny how you try to make others force your own wants upon you as if you won't give in to them. Your pride is the very reason why I will always be ten steps ahead of you whether I die at Enies Lobby or I die living up to my wildest dreams." Robin said as she looked out of the window.
Lucci quickly stood up from the seat in front of Robin and began to walk to the door when he stopped. "This has nothing with my pride. If I wanted you to be with me that badly I would've never let you go the first night I held you in my arms." Lucci said then he walked back to the second car without another word.
"You didn't let me go remember, you watched me from the very moment I left until the next morning when I woke up." Robin said as she remembered seeing Lucci for the first time in his full leopard form as he followed her and Nami to their hotel. He had watched her all through the night until the morning sun rose in the sky. "You really are a bad liar." Robin said as a single tear rolled down her cheek.
I am finally finished with this chapter, it took so much just to get this done. I've been slumped over my laptop for so long that my spine feels like it's made out of rusted metal. On to the next chapter! XD
