CURSED or BLESSED [18] : The One Who Knew Everything
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Are you sure about that, Nami?" a feminine lady voice asked the red head who was fidgeting beside her. Nami was sitting on a dark burgundy sofa. On the other couch was a beautiful lady with her long black hair, a yellow crop tank top embroidery by an abstract pattern and a pair of burgundy three quarter pants.
"I am! I know there's something wrong with them, but there are already three kin of them. It's only a matter of time before the other races join them."
"It's not easy to assemble those four kin altogether, I thought it would be impossible, though somebody did do a great job on it."
"It isn't a great JOB, Robin! C'mon, if the last race join them, then.. then the prophecy-"
"SUPEEER~~ Easy there Nami-san! This beauty here also understands the situation but, she knew more than what's on the surface." There was a big hand patting her shoulder, giving her a signal to calm down. Behind her suddenly appeared a big man with a huge body. His muscular arms had tattoo – half blue star on the left arm, another half blue star on the other arm. He used a pair of sunglasses, had blue hair and to made a very disturbing scene he used a fuckin Hawaiian red t-shirt and white short pants, he looked like an eyesore. Though Nami already complained about it over and over again, the big guy didn't seem to care.
"Franky! But, but what if it wouldn't work? What if-" Nami words died down when the beautiful noirette lady brought a hand beckoning her to stop.
"We don't even know whether the whole prophecy works or not, right? So, we can only believe in it. The chaos and how to stop it. After all, one the most impossible thing did come true, right?"
"Then, then we really have to deal with the chaos? And it is all because of them?!"
"Nami-san, whatever reason causing the chaos, it's not them to be blame. They didn't know a thing, and it's my job to warn them. It seems a coincidence that you met them, but I don't think it was. It's the wheel of fate which leaded you to them." Robin explained with an elegance smile still plastered onto her.
"I still don't think that's fair for us."
"Remember Nami-san, I am the Verden Strazh*1 and you are one of my guardian. We have our roles here as a keeper, and one of it is to warn those four kin which assembled together."
"… You right. I just- I nearly forget about all of that, I-"
"I understand how you feel, Nami. Anata*2, can you please leave us for sometimes?" Robin closed her book, stood up from the chair and walked towards the blue head. She then placed a quick kiss on his lips.
"Suuuper suree~~! I'll ask Paulie to go out for a while then. Gotta go buy some supplies." He shouted, striking an absurd pose – both hands up in the air, pressing them together, showing his one big star blue tattoo – bent one of his knee, and bending his body to the side so he was similar like a C-letter. What an irritating husband she got there. Nami hefted heavily. Who knew an elegance lady like Robin could marry a bizarre man like this. Never in the deepest abyss nor the highest heaven, she could dream – either it was a bad dream or nice dream she couldn't tell anymore. Though she still congratulated the two lovely doves and she was somewhat grateful that one of the super-annoying man's friend and best man was there. A guy named Paulie.

"Neee – Zoro, it has been five days since then, and you still have no time to go to Torao's house. I miss him already." Whined Luffy. Zoro arched one of his eyebrow.
"Oh c'mon! Is it my fault now? He is the one who keep saying, he is busy and such, and yesterday I got an ok, you had class. Then you came home so fuckin late. What the hell?"
"I couldn't help it, Usopp kept begging me to accompanied him to the clinic near my college. And uh you know what? He met a girl there! God! Can you believe it?"
"He is a man, that's not really a surprise."
"And she is a human. And she is a beauty! If I'm not wrong, her name is… Yaya? Naya?"
"It's Kaya, baka! How can you casually tell him? You promised me not to." Cut Usopp from behind the couch.
"Yes! It's Kaya! And you know Zoro, she is a doctor! That reminds me… Torao already bought a phone. I'll give yours to him okay?"
"Sure why not. Wow! Some luck you have there, Usopp." Zoro teased him.
"Really? How about with a werewolf who is lucky enough to get a beautiful vampire?" Usopp teased back, in which he got a low menacing growl from him.
"For the fuckin thousand times, fucker! That idiot is not my lover!"
"But Zoro, you keep kissing him randomly MYUUPPHW-!" Luffy made out a strange sound when Zoro's hand was already pinching both of his cheeks.
"How come I didn't see that- YIEEKK!" Usopp shrieked when his nose was being pulled by the same werewolf.
"You two really have a dead wish, you know that?" Zoro growled but his face was getting redder every passing seconds. "For Your Fuckin Info! It's just that we got tangled on something and it's thanks to you, Aho! I have to eat his Esenta every damn time."
"Really? Every time?" Usopp asked, a playful smile still plastered on his face.
"Got problem with it?"
"Because you see, Sanji asked me about this Esenta and such. Well, even I don't feast on Esenta, I don't really know but, I know that sucking on Esenta doesn't need to be done every time. If I remember correctly, twice a week is more than enou- HMPHMPPBBB!"
"Okay! You have sealed your life with that. Prepare for it." Zoro voice was so cold, and he was already pinned the Tengu down, on the contrary with his own face which was reddening like a rotten tomato. Luffy was laughing rambunctiously like a mad man, rolling on the floor, clutching his stomach, watching his friends were behaving like a child.
"Ok.. Zoro stop it, stop it! You choke him too hard." Luffy said, wiping his leaking tears, while tugging Zoro's hand off from Usopp's neck.
"I do plan to kill him." Zoro growled but, he did stop choking the man below him.
"Hey Zoro.." Luffy called, and the beast responded him a glance.
"If what Usopp said just now is true then, why you keep kissing Sanji nearly every day- WAAAAAA!" Zoro was desperate to stop him from speaking, abruptly he pounced the boisterous dense boy to shut him up. And the two was toppling onto each other.
"Seriously guys, what the ruck- oh.. Sorry if I interrupt you guys." Came a voice and the two quickly averted their gaze to the incoming voice.
"Ooii! Sanji! I'm teasing Zoro abo- MMPHHUBB!"
"I told you to stay shut, BAKA!" Zoro slapped Luffy's mouth out of reflex. Sanji just stayed there, blinking in confused.
"Teasing him about what?" Sanji repeated Luffy's words.
"Nothing. Don't mind him." Zoro butted in and quickly stood up from on top of Luffy and stepped away to the door. "Out of my way, kuso-cook!" Zoro said, reaching the blond cook who was standing still blocking the door.
"Don't be such a bitch, kuso-marimo! I know I interrupted you guys just now. It wasn't my fault to see that, you guys did it in the living room, aho! Do it in the room!"
"Did what?"
"Whatever you plan to do just now."
"I need to shut his mouth, so why should I do that in the room?" Zoro deadpanned while stepping out of the room.
"Hey, I don't mind even if you tell me the truth."
"I don't understand what you are trying to say."
"Oh come on. Even a dumb idiot like him also understands what you are trying to do."
"Huh? Ahahah! Did you misunderstand about something, Sanji? He had no intention of doing anything to me. Infact, he was trying to confess how he really feels about you."
"Lu-LUFFFY!" Zoro literally shouted in desperate manner, having no time to shut the noirette up.
"Wh-what kind of joke is this?" Sanji retorted.
"Don't mind him. Seriously." Zoro said with sense of finality then he just stormed away from the living room. Sanji eyed him in confusion and wait, did he just see reddish color on the back of his ears? Did, did he just.. did he embarrass from all the teasing?
It wasn't possible. Yeah, It would never happen.
"Shishishii~~" Luffy laughed making the blond changed his gaze back to the noirette.
"Zoro sure wasn't honest with himself. And you are the same. Are you jealous by any chance?" Luffy continued.
"What are you trying to say anyway."
"And you keep calling Luffy is the dense one? You both are seriously living in denial, aren't you?" Usopp butted in.
"What is this all about?" Sanji groaned.
"See now he pretends not to know a thing."
"Shishishishi! That's why they are funny." Luffy laughed happily.
"Oh! c'mon you two. Enlighten me about this."
"Why not? But before, I want to know how do you feel about Zoro." Usopp said with a serious expression on his face.
"He is a dickhead! Fuckin arrogant bastard who is very idiot and beyond salvation."
"Haaaah... See Luffy? I told you." In which Luffy was laughing brightly.
"What so funny about that?"
"Well, I don't care even you deny this, but the fact that Zoro actually-" and Usopp words just died behind a hand on his mouth.
"Don't you think it will be the best for that brainless green head to tell this himself?" Sabo appeared from nowhere, suddenly joining their conversation.
"Ahh.. you are right." Luffy giggled. Usopp nodded in agreement while Sanji was getting desperate, because he got no answer at fuckin all.
"Sabo-san, seriously. How come even you are trying to-"
"Because it's an important matter and if that dense beast has no intention to tell you or you both haven't realize about anything, what is the point of telling you? You'll still deny it later." Sabo sighed desperately.
"Anyway Luffy. Are you coming? I'm going to your teacher's place."
"SURE! I want to meet Torao!" Luffy beamed.
"Sorry to tell you, but he isn't around."
"Eh? But how do you know?"
"Uhh! I somehow asked Ace about it and-"
"Ahh.. that's sucks." Luffy whined.
"So, are you coming?"
"I don't think I'll allow it." Zoro suddenly popped up again behind the door.
"Ehh? Why?" whined Luffy.
"You got guests." Answered Zoro curtly, jerking his thumb towards the café in the next building.
"Who?"
"Nami? If I recall her name's right."
"N-Nami?"
"NAMI-SCHWAAN?!" Sanji butted in, swooning in the process. Zoro saw that and heft a sighed. That stupid swoon cook started again, swooning on a girl randomly. Though the beast always denied everything about the damn cook on his mouth, his heart just couldn't lie about it. He just hated it when this particular Nesatios started to flirt with others. Uh, he felt terrible! He was a nobody, so why he had to have this feeling of possessiveness to the damn cook? Well, yeah it might be because the bond and everything, but still-
"Zoro? Why do you freeze just like that?" Sabo waved his hand nonchalantly in front of him, calling him back from whatever reverie he was in.
"Ah. Yeah, she came with her friends too." He jerked a little and ruffled his own head to erase whatever thought popped up just now.
"Are you sure you are okay? You seem off these past days. Don't tell me, you lacking of Esenta?" Sabo asked again with a serious tone.
"Oh c'mon he took it every fuckin day! How could he lack any of it?" Sanji bemoaned.
"Oh? I bet you like that, Sanji." Teased Usopp, while elbowing Luffy softly on his side stomach, then the two were giggling which later Sabo joined in, making the two men reddened up like a fuckin boiled crab.
"You guys are such a jerk!" Zoro roared and dragging Luffy out from the room, leaving Usopp and Sabo who were still laughing and a bemused Cook. Oh of course, the beast was still had that nice rosette color plastered on his handsome feature. Was this how the cursed works now? It wasn't about he liked it or not – the fact that he loved it was more troublesome than anything, but it would be better if he could control his-self more. He was damn indeed!

"Ahh~~! NAMIIIII~~~" Luffy wailed and quickly ran to hug her. And he did pounce her in the process.
"Lufyy! That's not a polite way to greet guests!" scolded Makino, while Luffy was still laughing and snuggling with Nami.
"But she smells good and I like her. She is also nice."
"Ufh! You are crazy, you know that?" Nami blushed a little and wiggled her way out, trying to untangle herself from the boy, pushing his head as far as she could.
"Ufufu~ I understand now why you like him in an instant Nami." Came another voice.
"He is SUPEEERR FUN!" another voice joined in. Luffy glanced around and found two new figures. One was a lady, the other was a big muscular man.
"Hello there, Luffy-kun." The lady in violet dress offered him a hand to help. He answered her offer and stood up, while Nami was being picked up by the muscular man.
"Ro-ROBIIINN senseii?!"
"Sorry about that." Zoro sighed, didn't have any intention to help whatsoever, though he managed to catch Luffy by his collar not to pounce the noirette lady.
"Awww Nii-chan*2! Don't worry about that! He is funny so I forgive him eventually."
"Anyway, why are you guys here?" Luffy asked while walking towards one of the table, and beckoning them to follow him.
"Do you want something to drinks or eat, maybe?" Makino moved closer and hand them a menu.
"I'll be fine with anything, Miss." The lady told her with a polite smile.
"Please give me cola, Miss. SUPEER Thank you!"
"Hmm~~ Is it okay if I ask for an ice lemon tea?" Nami gave Makino a wide grin while handing back the menu to her.
"Sure~ I'll be right back. Enjoy your time."
"Maki-chan, I want some too!" Luffy cheered.
"Yes, yes Lu-kun. I'll ask Sanji to make some for you too."
"Yeeey! Maki-chan is the best!"
Then Makino went out from the café to make the order.
"So? Is there anything you need from us?" Zoro started, eying them suspiciously. He sat next to Luffy while all the guests were in front of them on the beige colored coach. The place they sat on was getting enough warm rays from the big glassy windows around the restaurant.
"Such a cozy place you got here." The lady started, ignoring Zoro's question.
"Oi! Are you ignoring me?" Zoro growled.
"Nii-chan, don't be such a grumpy. Relax~~" the man beside the lady said while crossing both his big hands behind his head and leaned on the back board.
"How can I? I barely even know you guys."
"Well, you know me, right? And I helped you back then. I did what you ask me to. I covered that Rain Base incident up, so it didn't cause big ruckus over Farligente and human. Moreover, this boy over here is her student." Nami answered.
"That's rich coming from a witch like you."
"Why you-!" but the noirette lady cut her quick.
"Calm down, guys. Please, we don't come here to cause such ruckus."
"Hmph!" Nami pouted but she complied.
"Shishishi~~ Thank you Nami, for your help it is." Luffy said, "but that wasn't us. And I'm telling you the truth."
"Yeah.. I knew. We met back then, right? When you lost in the woods."
"Yup! Zoro and Sanji were hunting them down. Uh.. yeah, somehow."
"Well, yeah somehow. Thanks for covered that for us." Zoro said at last. In which Nami was surprised to get that words from the beast.
"Uh, yeah. Don't worry. In the end, I knew that the reason wasn't you guys, so.. it wouldn't be fair if you guys took the blame."
"Ufufufu~ you guys sure make a great team." The lady said with a small laughed.
"Indeed they are, Uahahahaha!"
"Well, it's not polite of us for not introducing ourselves. Nice to meet you. I am Nico Robin."
"And I'm Franky. I may not look like one, but I have own a garage."
"And as you guys know, I am Nami. I'm an elementalist, it's a little bit different with witch but, well I don't care."
"I am Luffy! I'm a-" a hand was suddenly cut Luffy's words.
"Roronoa Zoro."
"Well Roronoa-san, I'm aware you'd like to keep your secret by yourself. But please be at ease. I know everything about you." Robin smiled sweetly.
"Really?"
"Yeap. For example, you are a Werewolf Farligenete, and Luffy here is a Razlet. And there is Sanji a Vampire. Another Razlet by the name Sabo and two other Farligenetes named Usopp and Brook. Am I wrong?" Robin stated calmly, which made all jaws dropped in shock – that included Nami and Franky.
"The-they had so many with them?!" Nami cringed.
"They are SUPEEERR insane!"
"Fufufuu~ your reaction sure are pleasing." Robin continued, giggling.
"Who- who are you exactly, how- how do you know about all of these?" Zoro gapped, taken aback. He didn't even have any intuition about this. It was perfectly ridiculous. Nobody knew them, Luffy might be make it difficult but all these years, Zoro, Sabo and the others managed to keep this secret save, but then, then this woman was-
"Calm down Roronoa-san. I knew everything, because I am what you called the watcher. So, of course I know about you too."
"Everybody, your orders are coming~~" Makino's voice suddenly airing in the café. She moved closer towards the only group in the café, while Sanji was tailing her, helping her with the orders.
"Wh-WHAT beauties~~~! Hello angels-tachi, I am Sanji. What bless do I have to meet such miracle like this… ahh~ life indeed is beautiful things." Sanji twirled with such flexibility, while his left hand balanced the tray full of sweet delicacies and some drinks, he took Robin's and Nami's hand and place a gentleman kiss in order.
"Hello there, Sanji-san I believe." Robin said, giggling in a lady-like manner she usually had.
"Uhh… Hello Sanji. You still are weird as usual." Nami sighed and shook her head tiredly.
"Y-Yess~~~ ahhh~~ even an angel like you know who am I. I am so happy~~" Sanji's only visible eye popped into a heart shape.
"Ero-cook." Zoro spat uninterested.
"What did you say, marimo- yarooouuu*3?"
"What? You don't like it? It fit you best!"
"Come here you!"
"Anytime!"
"Araraa~ they are so cute really." Robin giggled.
"SUPEEERR PERFECT! I also want that one rival like this!"
"You already have one Franky." Huffed Nami.
"I Have?"
"Iceburg-san? You seriously forget about him?"
"Hmph! I can't be! I am much superb than him."
"See.. that's what you called a rival." Nami explained while the greenhead and the blond were fighting in the background and Luffy laughed so hard. Makino was trying to stop them.
"What a boisterous group, Fufufu~"
"Oii guys! Will you stop that? We're not here to watch you guys making a fuss like this." Nami wailed starting to feel irritated. The trio averted their focus to the angry red head. Sanji quickly stopped and starting to swoon again. Zoro fixed his own t-shirt and scratched the back of his head, Luffy shifted on his seat. After all people gathered back around the table, Nami cleared her throat before starting,
"Now that the three of you are here, we will start this for real. But.. I don't think you need to hear this." Nami fixed her gaze to Makino.
"Ahh.. but I-"
"Makino-san, I'm sorry, but this might be dangerous if you hear this too. So for your safety it's better for you not to-"
"I don't want that! I bet it's all about your powers and ability. I also have the rights to know! Because.. because Shanks is- ahh!"
"Ah!" Zoro face-palmed himself. Another secret was leaked out.
"I know. He is your husband, and he is also a Razlet, am I right?" Robin said calmly, like she predicted about it already. Zoro snapped and eyed her in utter shock. She did know everything, didn't she?
