Pairing: ZoroxRobin, LuffyxNami

WARNING: May contain spoiler!

In just a short time, big news started to spread everywhere.

"THE STRAWHAT PIRATES WERE THE CULPRIT FOR SHOOTING ICEBURG! THE NEWS WILL BE GIVEN BY THE MIZUMIZU NEWSPAPER! THEY'RE STILL HERE! FIND THEM AND HANG THEM!" shouted a man while giving around newspaper to the public.

Robin gave a small gasped as she begun to pick up the newspaper. While reading it, she started to put on her expressionless mask once again, 'So, it had begun…'

Immediately she went back to the CP9 people to gather up some things, so then they will later on proceed to the plan.

Zoro was walking around the city to search for Robin. He sighed in annoyance after finding out how difficult it was to find just one person in one big island. Especially when he himself had no idea where he was.

Yet, he was unable to help but realized that people were beginning to give him odd stares. Scratch that, it was more like stares full with horror and fear.

Suddenly he could hear a cry which could change his day once again.

"THAT'S RORONOA ZORO! GET HIM!" cried a group of person

In surprise and by a reflect action, he ran away. It was not because he was a coward or a weakling which was unable to beat those guys, only that he was unable to beat people with no reason at all. Being chased and being called as a bad guy was like any of his ordinary day as a pirate, but this island was supposed to be different. As far as he was not mistaken, this island was being so friendly towards them just a moment ago.

"Don't run away you assassin!" they cried angrily while starting to shoot at Zoro.

After he noticed the first bullet that went past him and the way they were calling him as an assassin, he knew that those people might had a bit of a misunderstanding towards him.

"What the hell? What do you people want?" cried Zoro in annoyance.

Feeling more annoyed since they didn't answer his questions, he started to ditch them by hiding behind a wall so they'll miss him.

It worked, since they kept on running pass his hiding spot. He sighed in relieved with a face full of confusion, "What is their problem anyway?"

Suddenly a newspaper flew to the place near him, feeling curious on the present situation, he pick it up.

As he begun to read it, he knew that all of his questions were answers with shocking news.

"Robin shot Iceberg?" cried Zoro in disbelief, he then looked at the chaos behind him, "So that's why! No wonder they kept on chasing me, it was because I'm related to Robin. There's no way we're able to go back to the hotel, and the reason why only Luffy, Robin and my pictures were here was because we're all have bounty on our head."

While gritting his teeth he crumpled the newspaper and threw it away in disgust. He then put his hand on his forehead to overcome his stress.

"Robin…" he whispered desperately, "What should I do?"

Slowly he looked at the sky angrily, "Why did you betray us? Answer me Robin!"

Feeling more desperate and betrayed by the person he had care so much, he knew that his bad feeling about his day getting from worse to horrible was no ordinary feeling. Once again, his feeling towards Robin remained unsolved and one question was still unanswered. The question was, can he trust her?

His mind kept on telling him that she was nothing but a betrayal, and all of her sweet words and acts towards him was nothing but a horrible act and things she do to dominate people. Yet, his heart told different answer and feeling. His heart trusted her, and his heart wanted to give nothing but to see her once more and demand for an explanation.

"DAMN IT!" cried Zoro, without caring that people would start chasing him again, he ran from his hiding spot, attempting to find Robin.

Just like what he had expected, groups of bigger people started to see him and begun to chase him in order to kill him. Yet, he care no less, as long he was able to find Robin then those people could just go to hell for all he care.

He kept on running and running, until suddenly caught his eye.

"Zoro!" cried Luffy happily

Zoro was relieved to have found Luffy…and Nami, "Luffy! Nami!"

Nami eyes were wide in shocked to find many groups of people behind Zoro, attempting to capture him, "Wa…wait a minute! ZORO THOSE PEOPLE ARE CHASING YOU! DON'T! STOP! DON'T COME TOWARDS US!"

"Look! It's the other two members of the straw-hat crew! Get them!" cried one the people in the group.

Luffy was laughing playfully, "To late, they found us out!" he then grabbed Nami's hand, "Let's go Nami!" Pulling Nami along with him, he ran and Zoro too followed their running direction.

"Luffy!" protested Nami, "Other than running with no sense of destination, how about if hide somewhere from these people?"

"Well, any ideas?" asked Zoro

Nami then began to scan the area surrounding her, until she found a perfect spot.

"Guys!" she cried while pointing at a 1 o'clock direction, "Let's hide under that bridge!"

"What?" cried Zoro and Luffy in surprise

"There is water flowing under that bridge!" cried Zoro

"And I can't swim!" Luffy cried in protest

Nami smirked, "Its okay guys, I have an idea."

A few minutes later…

"YOU CALL THIS AN IDEA?" protested Luffy in annoyance.

Luffy was stretched while holding both edges of the bridge with both his hand and feet just like a stretchy bridge. While Nami and Zoro were sitting on top of him, to kept them away from the water under the bridge.

"Hey, at least this is a better idea than running around like idiots!" snapped Nami angrily.

"Shh!" hushed Zoro which made them to shut up. They then heard people running past them over and over again attempting to capture them.

Zoro then looked at Nami and whisper, "What exactly happen?"

Nami too looked at Zoro with a very stressful face, "I don't know…"

Robin was walking around the city while keeping herself completely hidden from the people around her. She knew that those people were searching for her, her ears were everywhere around the city, so she wouldn't miss a thing.

Suddenly, her eyes caught something she was searching for. It was Sanji and Chopper, they were walking on the lonely street, attempting to find her too.

While closing her eyes in sadness and grief, she began to take another step to face them and tell them her last goodbyes.

"ROBIN!" cried Sanji and Chopper happily.

"Robin-chan, you have no idea how worried we are!" cried Sanji in relieved, "Wait right there! There are lots of things happening around here! But don't worry we'll handle it somehow! I'll come and get you!"

Before Sanji could even come and get her, she began to speak, "That is not really necessary, because I won't be coming back with you."

Chopper and Sanji were surprised by her answer, which she then continued, "Lets say our goodbye in this island."

"Wha…" started Sanji in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Is it because of the news that you shot the mayor of this island? We don't believe that! This is just like those kind of thing those people use to blame all of their crime to us, we're all pirates after all!"

Robin mind were full with regret and guilt, her friends kept on believing in her until that extent. While she was trying to give them nothing but a stab on the back, it was such a cruel fate.

"It is true that you guys were frame on being the culprit of the shooting incident," said Robin calmly, "But the fact about me as the mayor assassin's, that's nothing but the truth."

Both Chopper and Sanji were shocked of her words, and before any of them could even say a word, Robin continues, "My life were full with darkness that you have no knowledge of, and one day that darkness will give you nothing but death."

'Please guys, do understand my word,' plead Robin inside her mind, 'my existence will only give you misfortune and death! Please leave me alone! I'm begging you PLEASE!'

"That's why I frame all of crime to you, I'll be leaving soon," informed Robin once again.

"What are you talking about?" protested Sanji in disbelief, "Why are you…"

"Why am I doing this?" asked Robin towards Sanji and Chopper, 'I'm doing this for your own sake,' "There's no need for me to tell you that."

"Robin!" cried Chopper in panic, "Let's go back together PLEASE!"

"Robin-chan! You're making no sense!" shouted Sanji, "Something must've happen to you!"

'Can you guys stop being kind and friendly towards me? I BETRAYED you, get over it and make me as your enemy. Giving me your loyalty is making my job harder than before,' cried Robin in her thought, she then begun to turn around, "We've been together for a while, but we won't see each other anymore. Give my regards to everyone. I should also give my thanks to all of you for treating me so well. Goodbye!"

As she started to walk away, she could hear her friends calling her name over and over again with great pain of confusion and shocked.

"I don't believe this!" cried Sanji in shocked, "ROBIN-CHAN! WAIT A MINUTE! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

"ROBIN! COME BACK!" cried Chopper pleadingly

"ROBIN-CHAN!" she could hear Sanji calling for her name while trying to swim across the water which divided their distance.

Yet, she was faster than him and there was nothing he could do to catch up with her.

It was a good thing her face was not seen by any of them when she was walking away. Her mask was totally broken, tears started to spill once again and her face gave nothing but pain and regret.

This was really the most painful goodbye she had ever encountered, losing her friends and dream were such a painful and cursed fate she had to live. She knew that starting from that time onwards, every step she took would only lead her to her death. Yet, in her mind a certain voice started to scream at her.

"Why did you betray us? Answer me Robin!"

She realized that it was Zoro's voice, she begun to choke along with her unstoppable tears, "Zo…Zoro…"

Trying to hold herself by leaning against the wall, she begun to cried desperately, "Luffy…Mr. Doctor…Miss Navigator…Mr. Cook…Mr. Long-nose…Zoro…I…I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry…"

Being lost with her own pain, she did not realize that a certain blond hair cook was following her from behind to witness every word and emotion she just gave.

Trying not to come out from his hiding so she would not know that he was following her. Sanji begun to give her a look full with pity, sadness and regret for not being able to do anything to cure her pain. Since he knew that only one person other than his captain was able to take away those pain and loneliness from her heart.

'That damn swordsman…' cursed Sanji inside his mind, 'Where is he when somebody actually needed him?'
