They walked through one of the friendliest towns they've ever been to. Wanted posters were no where to be seen and a marine presence seemed to missing on the island as a whole. Still, even with all of the positive atmosphere, the couple couldn't feel more conflicted.

"Zoro..." The historian whispered, trying not to wake the infant in the stroller.

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure about this?" Robin had been more and more emotional as they approached the island. This was the right thing to do, right?

"Robin..." His voice trailed off, trying to find the right words to ease her conscience. "It's whats best. For her." He didn't like this either. In truth, he had become accustomed to being a father, even more so thanks to Robin, but this was the right thing for them to do. Wasn't it? They couldn't raise a child while still being pirates, let alone, raise her to be labeled a pirate whether that's what she wanted or not. It wasn't for them to decide if they could.

"It's just-"

"Robin. I know, I know. Me too." He pulled her closer, laying her head on his shoulder as they continued to walk.

"How are we? I mean, what do we..."

"I don't know, maybe try and find an orphange? Maybe see if there's a random couple at a park." He tried to come up with anything reasonable. Nothing sounded good. This was too hard for them.

"And just let any random, strange couple adopt her? Is that really what we are giving her up for?" Pain breaking into her voice as she realized how horrible this all sounded. She didn't want to do this anymore. Neither did he, they never wanted to give her up, but they both knew it would be for the best. They continued their search for a good home.

"Zoro!" Luffy yelled from the figurehead of the Sunny.

"He's not here, Luffy!" Nami shouted back, somewhat thankful it was a quieter day.

"Eh? Where is he then?" Luffy asked, hopping down from his spot.

"He and Robin went into town. Their, taking care of some personal things. They'll both be back later, okay?" Nami explained, she was also uneasy about giving the little girl away but knew that this was the better decision.

"Oh, okay. I'll go check on Olivia since their not here." He reasoned, walking toward the women's cabin.

"Olivia is with them too. They're, in town to find her suitable parents." Nami told him. Even the words poked at her heart and left a fowl after taste.

"Eh? Why?" Luffy asked very confused about what was going on.

"Luffy... Zoro and Robin have decided, to find her new parents. They're putting her up for adoption." Nami explained solemnly. Luffy didn't say another word, but his normal goofy smile was gone. His eyes focused and angry. He bound off the ship heading into town.

"Luffy!" Nami cried out. He didn't react, he only kept speeding into town. A mission in mind and he was determined to see it through.

"Are you sure?" Zoro asked. Still skeptical this was going to be okay.

"Yes, I'm sure we can adjust accordingly." Robin reassured him. "Don't you want this too?"

"Of course, it's just, do you really think we can handle it now?" He asked, unsure of himself in this situation.

"I do. If not at first, we'll learn to handle it." She repeated.

"ZORO! ROBIN!" They spun around searching for Luffy as he yelled for them.

"LUFFY!" Zoro called out in response. Luffy could be seen jumping over a building that stood between them.

"ZORO!" Luffy shouted as he spotted them. Landing almost in front of them, stumbling forward as regained his balance. "Zoro, Robin, I." Luffy cut himself off as he noticed they were still with Olivia.

"Oh, Nami lied." He commented.

"Eh? What did the witch say?" Zoro asked irritatedly.

"She said you two were going to get rid of Olivia." Luffy explained.

"Hm, yes well. We thought about it and that's the real reason we're out here, but we couldn't do it." Robin admitted, stroking the sleeping girl's cheek as she lie in the stroller. "Would it be alright if she stayed with us, Captain?"

"I don't care, as long as you two are happy." Luffy smiled, glad to see his friends decided to go with what they wanted instead of what they thought they should do.

"Ah, thank you, Captain." Zoro breathed, relieved to have killed two birds with one stone on this emotional trip.

"Shishishi, as long as you both are happy, I'm happy, and don't forget our promises." Luffy told them.

"Ah, I'll still become the worlds greatest swordsman and help you become the pirate king, but I'm adding Olivia to my dream as well." Zoro grinned, looking down at the sleeping form. "And remember, I said I'd kill you if you got between me and my dream." Zoro smiled at the young man.

"Yosh! I'll hold you to that!" Luffy smiled wider. Laughing a bit as he knew Zoro was serious, but both knew it would never come to that.

"Oh." Nami exclaimed to herself. She stood up and ran to the ships railing as she spotted Luffy, Robin and Zoro walking back to the ship. They don't look too distraught, maybe Luffy was only wanting to comfort them. Luffy seems pretty happy and, wait, so do Robin and Zoro... She was trying to think of any of the outcomes that could have turned out like this. She was about to entertain the idea that maybe they didn't give Olivia up. Her thoughts were confirmed when she noticed Robin was cradling the infant.

"Robin!" Nami cried out. Sprinting off the ship toward her friends, over joyed to the point of tears that her friends had decided to keep her. It was better for them, she knew that.
