Chapter 2:

Robin recovering from seasickness and the aftermath

One week had passed, Robin finally could get out of the bed after the approval of Doctor Chopper. For the second day, she fainted and had been in coma after she spent a night in Zorro's room. Sanji blamed Zorro for Robin spending a night with him. He of course did not bother about that and continued his afternoon nap as usual.

It was when Robin had been in the coma for the second day, Zorro started worrying. But Chopper said that it was not his fault in fact, he helped her by keeping her body warm and so blood can circulate better in her body.

She finally woke up on the third day. So everyone was relived. But after several hours, she started vomiting and the colour of her face turn white, so white as a sheet of paper and everyone started their worries again.

Chopper started examine her and realized that she was only suffering from seasickness so everyone put their hearts down once again. But everyone did not know that the seasickness she had would take a few weeks to recover.

Zorro was by her bed all the time and did not take his usual afternoon and evening naps just to look after her. It was like that for three weeks and Zorro had grown thinner as this three weeks passed by. Robin was in a blur at these times so she did not know what happened. Only know that when it was time to take medicine, a very bitter liquid was forced down her throat, when she was be on pins and needles, there would be someone there wiping her sweat and massaging her body to make her feel better.

Everyone was very surprised that Zorro could be such a passionate person who would do any thing to make the person feel better. It was the unknown side of Zorro that everyone saw. He really took pains to look after her sick body. At sometime, Robin would vomit onto Zorro's shirt and he will take his shirt off and continued looking after Robin after she had fallen asleep, he will take a bath and change into his new shirt.

Everyone resumed their duties of sailing the ship as they knew that there would be someone looking after Robin at her room. At times, Chopper will go into her room to check on her to see whether she feel better and whether he need to change the medicine to a stronger dose or a weaker dose.

At the third week, Robin had recovered from her seasickness and managed to get out of her bed. Everyone was pleased to see her walking on the floor of the ship once again. When Robin saw the much leaner Zorro, she was very surprised and puzzled to see him thinner and wanted to know what happened.

"What happened to you? Why are you thinner than the time I arrived at the ship?" Robin partly knew the reason why that Zorro was thinner but she wants to know the truth from his mouth that was why she asked him when she saw him.

"What! You do not know the reason? You should know! I have been looking after you since you came into this ship! I have not taken my afternoon and evening naps all because of you!" Zorro bellowed angrily at Robin whose mind went blank suddenly.

"Why are you so angry? I really did not know that. Everyday, my brain was in a blur and only knew that a very bitter liquid which I dislike was forced down my throat." Robin told Zorro about how the medicine felt when it was down her throat.

"You still can say that! I had been your caretaker twenty-four hours round the o'clock and now what! I will not be taking care of you when you fall sick the second time."Zorro was so angry with Robin as she did not understand his pains in taking care of her and walked away to his room for his afternoon nap.

"Don't be so angry Zorro. I just joking. I can feel that someone was taking care of me. Thanks. You are the best." Running over to pull Zorro's hand, hugged him and giving a very long deep kiss on his lips.

Zorro was surprised that Robin kissed him again. He was not as shocked as last time but was contented that she did kissed him or else he may walked off just like that and never want to talk to her for several days.

"Now I am not angry, your kiss had destroyed the angriness in me, now what do you want after I had had been looking after you for three weeks." Zorro repeated his question again to Robin.

"Now I am only concentrating on my training and now you have disturbed my training. The whole three weeks I have been looking after you. I have not trained myself for three weeks all because of you. How are you going to repay me for the lost of time? I do not think that you can recapture the time that had been lost?" Zorro was so cross with Robin that he decided to vent all his anger at her.

Robin was dumbfounded. She did not know that Zorro's feelings could change so quickly. There will be a way to make him happy again. As she thought of that, she strolled back to her room.

Everyone was there when all of these incidents happened. Sanji quickly jumped down and stopped in front of Robin from entering the door that led to all the bedrooms. Sanji was hoping that Robin was not angry with Zorro so he started explaining "Are you angry with Zorro? He is always like that. He only cares for his training but these three weeks he had been very stressed looking after you. I know that he cares a lot for you. He is one guy that will hide his feeling from everyone here. I never seen him cared so much for a lady. That means you mean a lot to him in his heart."

"I am not angry with him. He should angry with me because I had been his trouble for three whole weeks. I think that he would have been very stressed up and that was why he vented his anger on me. I just take it as a scolding from him. Nothing serious. I know that he cares a lot for me or else he will be be so thin after three weeks of torture from me.

"If he will not love you, I can, in fact, let's start it now." said Sanji with a very atrocious grin on his face hoping that Robin will really love him although he knows that it was impossible.

Nami heard what Sanji had said and quickly throw an orange at his head and use her rod to knock him on his body to stop his nonsense.

"Nami, I just joking only." Sanji said after receiving the knocks of Nami's rod from Nami.

"I will not do that, don't worry. Robin is Zorro's girlfriend. I will not touch her, Don't be angry with me Nami. You are the most beautiful girl I ever met." said Sanji who was curry favoring Nami so that she will not feel angry with her and hit him some more.

"Your sweet talking will not affect me, Sanji. Everywhere you go, you will use your honey mouth talking to other girls and every of the girls will fall for it. I will not fall for it. Every girl to you is beautiful so I am also one of them right?" Nami was tired of Sanji's honey words as she was the only girl on the ship before Robin had came in to join the team.

Robin went to her bedroom and when she entered the room, she saw Zorro in her room and was open-mouthed as she thought that he was furious with her.

"Why are you in my room? You must be very annoyed with me now so why are you here. Sanji just now said that he wanted my body and Nami beat him up very badly. So if you do not want my body, I will not forced you to do it. It is alright. I was thinking about it just now when I was walking to my room and I will not force you any more." Robin walked to her bookshelf and take a book out to read ignoring Zorro's presence.

"Why are ignoring me? Ok, fine! I am getting out of here!" Zorro slammed the door after he had came out of Robin's room. He went into Robin's room to say sorry and hope that she will forgive him for venting his anger on her although she was in the wrong.

Robin continued her reading ignoring the slamming door. After reading a while, pearls of tears rolled down her checks. "I am so sorry. I did not want to" she mumbled to herself.

Robin quickly ran out of her room to find Zorro. She found him on the upper deck and quickly dashed towards him and hugged him from his back. At this moment, Zorro turned back to kiss Robin on her check and continued his lifting of weights. Robin continued to hug Zorro from his back.

"I am very sorry that I had vent my anger on you, Robin and can you stop hugging me. I am sweaty and wet. If you want to hug me, wait until I take a bath, I will let you hugged until you enough.
