Pairing: ZoroxRobin, LuffyxNami
WARNING: May contain spoiler!
She was gasping while moving her legs as fast as she could, running as fast as she could, running away from that man as fast as she could. But no matter how much she ran, the man will always appear in front of her.
She finally stopped to catch her breath, while closing her eyes in desperation. She then opened her eyes; the scene in front of her terrified her and would bring her fear, which would never fade.
Everything was white, you could never tell if there was a sky or a ground she had been standing. But none of that took her attention, all she saw in her eyes were blood spreading all over the white ground. The bloods were coming from the bodies of six people whom she had known as he true friends.
She trembled as she begun to speak, "Mr. Long-Nose, Mr. Doctor, Mr. Cook, Miss Navigator, Luffy and Mr. Swor…no Zoro, ZORO!" Tears begun to pour from her eyes as she ran towards the lifeless body of her friends.
"Wha…what had happen?" She cried in panic while shaking all of their body. While sobbing in stress over and over again, she started to hug Zoro's lifeless body and trembled in fear and anger.
"Nico Robin…" She turned around in alert to see who had called her name. Her eyes were wide in shocked to see that it was the person whom she was running from.
"Admiral Aokiji?" She trembled in fear, "What have you done to my friends?"
He then chuckled, "I've done nothing."
"DON'T LIE!" Growled Robin while crying in frustration.
"What with the tears Robin?" Smirked Aokiji, "Sad to see your tools taken off by me that easily?"
Robin glared at Aokiji, "They're not tools, they're my…"
"Friends?" Asked Aokiji calmly, "I thought I've aforementioned it before, you're only using them for your own selfishness, that's why they died!"
Robin gasped, "No…"
"Yes," Smiled Aokiji, "While running away, you betray them by leading them to me so they'll fight me and you'll be able to save yourself."
Robin stared at her hand full of blood and Zoro's body in horror, tears started to pour from her wide eyes. She closed her ears while trembling in shock, "No, it can't be true."
He then continues, "Just by you being with them, it'll bring them bad luck. That's why you'll spend the rest of you live alone with no family, no one to trust and no friends."
She then screamed in frustration and horror, "NOOOO!"
Robin gasped as she begun to wake into reality to realize that she was sleeping on her bed in her room. Gasping over and over again, she could even hear her heart beating so fast and she could felt dry tears all over her cheek.
"It's…it was only a dream…" She gasped in relieve, as she begun to pull herself out of her bed she realized that she was feeling better than before and she's not forcing herself.
She smiled in relieve to hear the sound of her friends. Being in the same boat with the straw-hat pirates, there is no word as peaceful or quiet in their dictionary.
When she opened the door, everything turned tensed to see her awake. She smiled to see that everything she saw in her dream was not true and they're just perfectly fine.
"Robin!" Nami cried happily
"ROBIN-CHAN!" cried Sanji in a love-mode.
"Robin!" Cheer Chopper happily, "So are you feeling alright right now?"
"Yeah, thanks to you Mr. Doctor." Smiled Robin.
"Oh shut up!" Giggled Chopper happily while dancing around, "I wouldn't be happy even thou you compliment me like that!"
"You look happy to me." Said both Luffy and Ussop.
The day went quiet well, the sudden appearance of a giant frog with a sumo cloth on and covered with scars did troubled their day a bit, especially when a running water train almost drove them over. Then come a drunken granny with her granddaughter and her pet. Nothing is normal for the straw-hat pirates, but for Robin her life with the straw-hat pirate is nothing but perfect.
They were finally headed to their next destination, which was the Water Seven Island. It was decided by the captain and his crews that they will give an opening of another pirate crew as a shipwright on their ship, especially when the island was very well known for their shipwright ability. They also need their ship fixed, so being in Water Seven should be a great and helpful condition to be in.
Chopper was so excited, "Are we really going to have a new friend? I can't wait!"
"Yeah, me too." Smiled Nami, "Now, We were lucky to hit that station. Granny Cocoro gave us a map. All we have to do is follow the map and ask for the person named Iceburg." She then opened the map to see a horrible 5 years old scribbling map, "LIKE HELL THIS IS HELPFUL!"
Chopper took the map and was amazed when he saw the horrible drawing it had, "Wow, this drawing look exactly like Luffy's ways of drawing."
At the same time Luffy was scribbling something and show it to the other. The picture he drew was more like a 2 years old trying to draw an octopus and a clown at the same time, "See, we have to all look for someone like this!" he said confidently while pointing at his drawing.
Both Ussop and Sanji shudder just by thinking of the ideas that their new friend will be just like that.
"If I see anyone like that, I'm running!" Said Ussop terrified.
"Me too, I'd get on the ship and set sail... but that thing looks like it has octopus genes, he'd come chasing after us anyways." Added Sanji all freaked out.
Zoro who was only listening to half of their conversation looked at them, "What the hell are you guys talking about?"
Nami then cried, "Everyone over here! I'll give you special allowances for the week we spend here."
Everyone then cheered happily, "WOOOO! Disposable income!"
Robin was looking at everyone in happiness, in her mind she knew that her dream mean something, but right now just being there with all her friends, her fear means nothing. She then looked at Zoro and smiled.
FLASHBACK
Robin closed her eyes while pressing her head deeply onto Zoro's chest, "Sor…sorry…"
"Save it!" cried Zoro while kicking the door of Robin's room, he then lay Robin on top of her bed, "Now you better make yourself comfortable until everyone are here to treat you."
Robin then grabbed Zoro's arm nervously, Zoro looked at her in surprise while her eyes were looking at him pleading for him to stay. "Ple…please…st…stay…" She whispered while covering her shaking body with another blanket on her bed.
Zoro then held her hand gently.
Both Zoro and Robin begun to give each other full attention. As their eyes were locked with one another, Zoro decided to change his way on doing things in just for a few seconds.
Zoro held Robin hand then bring her towards him and kiss her lips with a gentle kiss. He then smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'll be here for you."
ENDFLASHBACK
Robin could swear she was blushing madly. She warped her face with her hands while trying to calm herself down.
Suddenly Luffy's cried, "LAND AHOY EVERYONE! IT'S THE ISLAND!" which drew everyone attention including Robin's.
Looking at the island in front of her, she was amazed of the wonders and the beauty the island had created. It was like looking at a giant water fountain, everyone was gasping in shocked, surprised and amazement.
As they enter the island in excitement, they noticed that many of the residence around the place were very friendly, too friendly to be exact especially towards pirates.
The crew begun to search for a perfect spot to park their ship, and Robin gave this as an opportunity to change her clothes.
She opened her drawer to find a comfortable pair of clothes to use. Suddenly she heard a knock on her door.
"Robin, may I come in?" Asked Nami in front of the door.
Robin smiled and opened the door for Nami to enter.
Nami smiled at her, "I didn't disturb you in any kind of way right?"
"No problem," Said Robin, "I'm only in the middle of looking for clothes in my drawer."
"Is that so? Want some help?" Asked Nami happily.
"That would be nice," Chuckled Robin, "I do need a fashion tip from a teenagers this days."
Nami laughed, "You're saying it like if you're so old."
"Well, I can't help it," giggled Robin, "I'm already 28 years old this year, I'm no more a teenager."
"Oh that's not true!" teased Nami, "You still have the body of a teenagers."
Robin laughed, "Hey, you're saying it like I'm in my thirties or something."
"Oh, who cares," smirked Nami, "You will keep up with your natural beauty even if you turned fifty anyway."
"How can you be so sure?" Asked Robin amused
Nami gave her a sly smile, "Lets just say, I have a feeling that you will. Especially when you will have a husband who is nine years younger than you're."
Robin yelped in surprise towards Nami last remark, "What?"
Nami laughed, "Oh come on, I know what happen that night?"
"What night?" Asked Robin in confusion.
"You know what I'm talking about," teased Nami, "I'm talking about that night when Ussop caught you and Zoro sleeping together on the kitchen floor."
Robin then gave a little bushed, "It…it was just a coincidence."
"Yeah right," giggled Nami, "So anything else happen, between you two?"
"What do you mean?" asked Robin nervously
Nami chuckled, "I mean, anything happen? As in did you guys share your first kiss or something?"
Robin was then blushing from head to toes from the last remark she had made.
Nami gasped in surprised, "OMG! YOU DID?"
"It…it's only because I needed comfort when I was feeling sick and he gave me one," said Robin nervously while blushing like mad.
"And you asked for it?" Asked Nami in amazement, "You naughty girl, GOOD JOB!"
"Uh…thanks," smiled Robin still in the same state of nervousness.
"Well I cannot believe that, that arrogant swordsman jerk actually has a soft heart for girls." Smirked Nami, unable to wait to teased Zoro about it.
Robin chuckled, "Maybe it's just a one-time thing. He probably just doing that for pity."
"Better not!" Cried Nami "If he does that, I swear I'll kill him! No man dares to play around with woman's heart, as long as I'm here."
"Uh, he's not playing with my heart." Said Robin nervously
"Well, you're totally in love with him, and since he gave you your first kiss. Ignoring you like if it never happen is the same thing as rejection." Cried Nami
Robin was laughing nervously, "I would be more comfortable if we just change the subject."
"Oh sorry to make you uncomfortable," Said Nami feeling guilty
"No, it's not that," Said Robin, then gave her a sly smile, "It's just that I'm not the only one who like younger guys."
"What do you mean?" Now it was Nami's turn to be nervous.
Robin smiled which later on formed a smirked, "I have eyes all over the place, and I know very well that your relationship with our captain is more than just friends."
Nami was then blushing madly just like Robin's pervious state before, "So you know."
Robin nodded, "And you're good in hiding it."
"Well, I better be changing my clothes," Said Nami while changing her clothes in order to escape the new subject of their conversation.
Robin watched her until she finished dressing, "Are you planning to go around the city with our captain?"
"And Ussop!" Added Nami while blushing slightly, "We're just going to change all the gold into cash since it'll be more convenient to pay the shipwright with cash than gold."
"Isn't it better if you just go with Luffy, the two of you will have a great time after your business with this Iceburg guy is done. Especially when this island is very well known with their romantic places." Smiled Robin, satisfied on looking at Nami's reaction.
Nami was still blushing, "We're not into that romantic and mushy stuff too much! And it'll be too obvious for everyone! Well I better be going, or it'll take us all day."
Nami then ran to the door and before she was about to leave, Robin gave her a smile, "Have fun!"
Nami looked at Robin and smiled back, "You too."
