Can you trust me?

Rating: PG

Pairing: ZoroxRobin, LuffyxNami

WARNING: May contain spoiler!

"I have to find the others!" gasped Chopper once more while running around the island. Sanji had told him to find Luffy and the others in order to inform them exactly what Robin had said to them. Sanji decided to follow Robin to know where her whereabouts was, he even believes that she was innocent and all of the things she had said was just a lie.

'Sanji, belief in Robin, I hope everyone do too,' pray Chopper to himself, 'There must be a reason behind Robin previous action, there must be! She's our friend!'

Suddenly he caught something, 'These smell…its Luffy, Zoro and Nami!'

"I can't hold much longer…" whisper Luffy while gritting his teeth in pain, "You guys are so heavy, is it safe yet?"

Zoro and Nami still could hear people going pass the bridge on top of them, both of them whispered to Luffy as a reply, "Not yet,"

Luffy was frustrated, he hoped and wished that those people who were looking for them were bad guys so he could kick their asses. Yet, in just a few second, Chopper face appears in front of him.

"GYAAA!" cried Luffy in shocked, and as a result he slipped which dropped the three of them to the water.

"Ops," said Chopper, "Um, sorry guys. Just to tell you, the situation is clear for a moment."

"Chopper!" said Nami happily, "Thank goodness you're alright. Where's Sanji-kun? And did you find Robin?"

Chopper gave them a look of surprise, since he was attacked of questions he rather not answers.

Zoro looked at Chopper, unable to know what with the change of his friend expression, he decided to change the subject, "How did you find us Chopper?"

"Smell," answered Chopper, he then looked around, "Where's Luffy?"

Nami and Zoro suddenly realized that Luffy was unable to swim, "Shit!" cursed Zoro in panic as he begun to swim under to rescue his captain.

A few hours later, they went to a safe place, away from the other citizen and on a high place. Just like what Chopper had planned, he told them everything about the event that took place between him, Sanji and Robin. This of coarse shocked all of them.

"WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" shouted Luffy in shocked, "ROBIN REALLY SAID THAT?"

Chopper with his face full with grief and sadness nodded.

Zoro looked away with no expression, his mind was clear, he rather belief in logic then emotion.

He took his sword out and gave a small tap to the floor to wake everyone from their state of surprise.

"Its time for everyone to wake up," he started, "She was our enemy which we allowed to become our friends when she appeared on our ship. So before the sun gets down, one thing we should know. Is that woman a friend or a foe?"

After that, discussion started to occur. Discussion about Robin real motives and about the mysterious mask person Robin was traveling before Iceburg got shot.

Finally, they decided to find Robin, since their questions and doubts would remain unanswered without any proof of the real fact.

So they finally headed towards the 1st deck which was where Iceberg was living. They had a feeling that Robin would once again meet Iceburg to finish him off once and for all.

On the way there, something about Zoro bug Nami. She looked at him who was just walking with his 'cool' expression.

Zoro realized he was being stared at, so he looked back at Nami, "What?"

Nami stared at him even more, since she was now looking straight to his eyes, she could see that something was wrong.

Getting irritated by her silent answer, he glared at her, "What is your problem?"

"Are you okay?" asked Nami softly so Luffy and Chopper would not listen to any of her word.

Zoro stared at her in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

So she was right, "On our discussion, why did you say something you didn't meant on saying?"

"What do you mean?" asked Zoro in confusion

"You know exactly what I mean," Said Nami calmly, "The things you were saying back there was as if you believe that Robin is a traitor."

Zoro looked away and snorted, "I never trust her in the beginning anyway."

Nami glared at him, "Then please do tell me, why did you save her many times?"

"I never save her," whispered Zoro in annoyance

Nami growled angrily, "Don't you give me lies, you big jerk! At Skypia, when she was attacked by Eneru, you break her fall and you went berserk towards Eneru. Then when she was almost slashed by that Aokiji guy, you defended her so she would not get hurt."

"It's a reflect action," said Zoro angrily, "Even that idiot-cook would do the same thing. It's just not being myself to let someone to hurt a women, no matter if she's evil or not."

Nami sighed in frustration, "All I hear is excuses, lame excuses. If you really unable to trust her, then what with those stares you kept on giving to her ever since we arrived on Skypia?"

Zoro looked at her in confusion, "What stares?"

"For your information I'm not blind," stated Nami, "I could see that the way you stare at her was not those kind of stare you usually use against your enemy. Many people may think that you kept on staring at her because you can't trust her. But believe me Roronoa Zoro, I could see very well the true meaning of your stare."

"Really?" said Zoro in disgust, "What does it mean then? Because I know very well that I kept on staring at her because I never trust her."

Nami looked at him, and with a smirked she answered, "Attraction."

Zoro looked at her in a complete surprise, "WHAT?"

Luffy and Chopper looked at Zoro in surprise. "What's the matter Zoro?" asked Chopper in concern.

"It's nothing," smiled Nami, "It's just something about the food Sanji-kun cook for him."

Luffy and Chopper shrugged as they begun to continue their walk.

Zoro glared at Nami in disbelief, "What kind of bullshit were you talking about?"

"Don't call it bullshit you jerk," threatened Nami in anger, "I was just saying the truth. I could even see that you were the one who was worried the most about her disappearance."

"Do not," growled Zoro

"Oh please, stop acting like a kid and grow up." Said Nami feeling annoyed by his attitude, "And most of all, if you didn't care or trust her at all, then what with the kiss you gave her last time."

Zoro eyes were wide in shocked, "What? I…I didn't…"

"Robin told me everything," Smirked Nami, "You cannot escape from the truth Mr. Roronoa Zoro."

'Women and their big mouth!' cursed Zoro angrily, "So what? I admit, I almost trust her for a bit. But hell, this situation totally proves that she was nothing but a total liar. All of those act and sweet words towards me were nothing but a mere act to fool me. And I'm a fool which foolishly fall on her act. I shouldn't even trust her in the beginning. And yes, I kissed her, so what? Do you have to make a big deal out of it? Does that even prove anything right now? She may think that it was nothing and her plan of making me to fall into her trap was a big success!"

Nami gasped at Zoro confession, he was never this opened to her before. Zoro was always quite and relaxed and also a person who like to keep his mind to himself. Yet, this time he talked so openly towards her. This was extraordinary strange, if it was towards Luffy or Chopper then it would be okay, but to her? She was the last person on earth he would talk to about his thoughts.

"Zoro…" whispered Nami, judging on his sudden mood swing when they were talking about Robin, she finally understood of the whole situation, "You…you love her, don't you?"

Zoro was once again shocked and speechless. His brain was a mess and he couldn't think straight. He could even feel that his heart was beating three times faster then normal.

Nami smiled when she saw his reaction, "Am I correct?"

Zoro was being uncomfortable with the whole conversation, so he quickly looked away and decided to walk faster so he would get away from Nami.

Nami chuckled silently to see his reaction, she too decided to end the conversation. Her questions about Zoro weird reaction were finally answered. Only one thing could describe Zoro present situation, he loved Robin and the news about her betrayal had broke his heart.

Luffy looked at Nami, then Zoro, then at Chopper, he whispered, "I don't understand their conversation even though I could hear them loud and clear."

"So do I," whispered Chopper back, "Maybe Nami was just telling Zoro to belief in Robin no matter what."

"Maybe," shrugged Luffy

Zoro was looking at the ground, full with thoughts and questions. Why was he acting like this? Why did he speak so openly towards Nami? Why was he being complicated? Why he kept on denying the truth? What truth? Truth about him, being attracted with Robin? Was he even attracted towards her? Or is it more then just a simple feeling of attraction? Was Nami right about the fact that he fell in love with Robin? If that is right, then why was it so painful every time he thinks about her? The pain was no ordinary pain, it was emotionally and mentally. He had never felt those kinds of pain before, yet it felt familiar. The main question he was unable to answer was, what is his true feeling towards Robin?

He groaned in annoyance as he begun to give himself a small whisper of confusion and longingness, "Robin…"

Sanji was looking around in panic, "Okay…I could swear she went that way," he pointed to his left, "or that way," he pointed to his right, "or maybe…damn it! I lost her! How can she move so fast!"

It was just a minute ago until he lost her figure. It was not easy following her, since she could easily felt his presence. It took lots of effort to follow her by calculating the distance and avoiding any unnecessary noise he could create.

"Great," he mumbled to himself, "Now I must to look for her all over again, jeez! Being a gentleman is not an easy job."

He then ran too looked for Robin, wherever she is.

Note: Okay, maybe this chapter is shorter then before. I can't help it, my computer is still under construction and I have to update my fic with the computer in my college. And living in Indonesia gives me a slow internet connection which sometimes creates errors to the internet connection. So sometimes, the Javascript won't work which make me to be unable to update my fic. So sorry for the delay and I didn't check the grammar, so this time, it must be more horrible than before. Hope this chapter satisfies you.
