Hi hello I'm alive here's another chapter and I'm sorry. Why I am apologizing I'm not sure yet, I have many things to apologize for, so just name one.

...Chapter 25

...Angry

The black haired girl takes a deep breath, and walking comes easier and faster and stronger. Gentleman he's not, Zoro didn't bother to help her, but instead, watched her with a sense of pride, for he was the one who helped her get this far. It was through his efforts alone that he was able to transform the architect from sickly, silent, and somber to lively, living, and loud. For, thank goodness, she was talking again, even if little, but it was better than what it was before. Complete and utter silence.

Only a few minutes earlier had they exited the room, closed the door quietly behind them, and entered the sunlight of morning. "How do you feel?" the green haired asks gently.

Robin glances at him before continuing her walk. "I'm fine, I'm getting better," she murmurs, coughing, but able to talk nevertheless, and Zoro is smiling wide, smiling big, because thank goodness she can talk again. It's been weeks and she's been silent, and without reason nor rhyme, and finally, finally she speak again, so maybe a cure can be found for Luffy.

"Oh! Is that RRRobin?"

The woman stares upward with a deep blue gaze to the cyborg with tears in his mechanical eyes, who starts towards the woman with a wide gallop and open arms. He's beat to the punch by a certain blonde cook, who nearly drools in his attempt to run up and hug the woman. "Robin-swan!" he screams, eyes the shapes of hearts, legs flying in his attempt to run up to the woman, which of whom he hasn't seen in days.

Zoro grits his teeth, unreasonable fury building within him, and with a flash of steel, brings his sword to light. Sanji steps back in his rushed attempt at hugging her, and eyes the sword with disdain. "Put down the sword," he spits, flicking open a pack and pulling out a small white cylindrical smoke. Lighting it and placing it between his lips, he tilts up his chin and glares at the man through narrowed eyes. "You're not standing between me and by beloved, especially after I've suffered by not seeing her!"

"Don't act like you haven't stalked her half the time she was in that room," the green haired sneers, a smirk dancing its way onto his face. Sanji tenses, and Robin holds back a chuckle, eyes darting humorously back between the two. "Only six times. Six! Out of, what, three days! I simply love her too much to be going through these days without a glimpse of my dear Robin-swan—"

With anger and envy flitting amongst his eyes, Zoro brought his blade to Sanji's leg, to which he dodged, bringing the leg around to the Zoro's head, and the man dodges, jerking his skull to the right.

Robin sidesteps the brawl, amusement lifting her lips into a smile, and continues on her way, making small talk with Franky, who stood behind the two. They walk to the deck, where Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Usopp stand anxiously, awaiting the news of Robin's supposed healing, and as she emerged from the side of the ship, smiles grew prominent upon their faces.

The other woman on the deck jumped up at her first sighting, and Franky stepped back as the orange hair wrapped her arms around the older woman, tears leaking from her eyes. "Oh, Robin," the girl cried, rubbing her cheek into the curve of Robin's shoulder. "Thank goodness. Thank goodness."

"Thanks for worrying over me," Robin smiles, patting the girl softly on the back. Her eyes adjusted to the natural light, a stark contrast to the cabin's artificial, and she surveys the deck. "Where's Luffy?"

Usopp shrugs, rubbing his nose awkwardly. "Um, shouldn't he still be in Boa's cabin?"

The skeleton besides him nods, and chuckles quietly. "Since Robin-san just exited his office, don't you think Law would find it rather interesting to check her out, to reassure and double check her full, recovered health?"

"He's not in the cabin though," badgers the sniper, stepping forwards. "When I woke up, he was gone."

Chopper bounds over to the woman, who scoops him up into a bear hug before letting go reluctantly. "In his stead, I'll look you over. At least, for general health problems."

Franky lets out a breath at the suggestion of the small reindeer and, flashing him a smile, walks over to where the remainder of the crew stood. "I wonder where Law went, though," Sanji begins, walking away from Zoro victoriously. The green haired tsks deeply, muttering a few choice curses before plopping down near the other straw hats.

"He needs to be here, because of Robin. He's usually out early, like the other morning..." he finishes, blowing thick smoke towards the sea.

Nami turns towards his him, shrugging her delicate shoulders. "I don't know. Let's just wait for him, I guess, and let Chopper do his thing."

...

Law panicks when Hancock smiles at him.

She blushing, profusely at that, and doesn't seem to want to hide the half naked body she presented before him. Though they stood at the same height, Law seemed to shrink under the dilated, hazy gaze of the other, and the heated, dirty words that rose within him pauses before tasting sweet air.

He sidesteps her, and his breath hitches when he sees none other than Luffy. Law shoves Boa roughly out of the way, and she shuffles ungracefully for a second before rightening herself, the natural world coming slowly to her.

In the meantime, Law flies to Luffy within the room, who sits dazed on her bed, shirt tossed roughly to the floor on the clear other side of the room. When Law studies him over, he even pales at the sight of his loosened belt buckle.

What his mind was screaming at him happened just couldn't have.

Did Luffy...has Luffy...completely forgotten him? Completely? And went on his little adventure with Boa?

Though he wasn't blushing, he seemed to be in just as much of a daze of Hancock was. There were kisses all about his chest, colored with red lipstick, and there was even one plump on his mouth. Clenching and unclenching his fist, Law inhales, takes it all in, all the pain and all the jealousy, and tries to exhale, bring it out, but it wouldn't. It remained in him and stayed in him, and even grew in him. Such dark and envious anger. Such sharp and inflicting pain. Hancock was able to do this to Luffy. Or, she seduced Luffy to do that to her. And the fact that all the clues led to no other outcome than...

Law shook his head. He couldn't bare it.

Boa took it too far. He want going to simply sit back anymore. The jealousy burned him alive from the inside out, and the anger which accompanied it only made the flame brighter. Luffy seemed to snap out of his daze just as Law's Haki flared within him. It flickered and erupted like a wave of Poseidon's trident; it brought his eyes alive with it all, and even his skin seemed to glow with the power that burned behind it.

He crept back towards Boa, who stood confidently in the doorway, watching the entire spectacle. She had fully recovered minutes ago, and stood silent, but the gloating triumph on her face was more than enough to finally push him over the limit.

With a dark glare and a frown deep enough to render permanent wrinkles, the Shichibukai raises a shaking, tense hand. "Room."
