Pairing: ZoroxRobin, LuffyxNami

WARNING: May contain spoiler!

Finally the time had come. Robin was once again holding the gun in front of Iceburg. Yes, once again those moments of betrayal in her heart had come once more like a déjà vu. Only this time, she was suppose to kill him, right after he hand over the blueprint of the world secret weapon.

All of the time pointing a gun in front of him, was just to give some time for the whole CP9 to enter the building and search for the blueprint. She wouldn't have thought that she would be stuck into a difficult conversation with him. Especially when the conversation was about her betrayal.

First of all, he only warned and threatened about the danger of the world greatest weapon, and also the fact that she was the only able to awaken it. His fear of her existence had brought them to a secret of her true reason behind her betrayal.

After knowing all of her reason of betrayal, his desire in wanting her existence to disappear was no more. Her action was no more shown as a betrayal, it was more like a sacrifice. The definition of the word 'betrayal' was shown when the CP9 had finally showed their true face to Iceburg.

Things went into a big disaster when the straw-hat pirates finally able to find Robin. Confusion and shock were given by Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, Nami and Paulie. The fact that the CP9 were one of the strongest shipwright in deck 1, which were usually known as the good guys by all people in Water 7. What shocked the straw-hat crew even more was the fact that the news about Robin betrayal was true due to the scene in front of them.

'So…it was true…' Zoro thought was once again messed up, maybe it was not a good idea to meet her. It only made himself feel even a lot worse.

He was unable to say anything towards her, due to his state of feeling a great state of pain from her betrayal.

Nami who was looking at Robin, took a quick glance at Zoro. He may look angry just like he use to look like every time he face his enemy, but she knew that deep inside his heart, he was fighting with pain of a broken heart. She couldn't really blame him for those kinds of emotional problems, Robin was in fact the person he loved, and he was stubborn enough to admit it. She looked at Robin to try and see her real attention of her betrayal. Yet, her expressionless face show nothing but the truth of every word she said.

"In order to fulfill my wish," said Robin darkly, "I am unable to travel again with you people."

Zoro's grip on his katana even harder as his thought begun to cry out in anger, 'That's all? Just because of that kind of selfish reason, she drifts us into this kind of situation and betrays us. Just because of a simple wish? What kind of stupid wish she want? Especially, what kind of wish will she able to fulfill by betraying us and joined a whole fucking crap of marine?'

Zoro glared at her, "And what kind of wish will that be?"

Robin stared at him with her emotionless mask, "It's none of your concern."

Her answer created a whole chaos and stress from Luffy, Nami and Chopper. As for Zoro, Robin could only stare at him in fear as his eyes turned into a murderer glance. His look was as if he was unable to wait to cut down every flesh and bone of her body into many pieces.

Robin had cross the line too much. He could not endure it much longer. The doubts and feeling about her for having a right reason for her betrayal was crushed by his anger for her betrayal. He did not care if it was against his principal to hurt a women, he did not even care if she was his friend, or even the fact that she was the person he use love. Now, the only thing he wanted was to kill her just like the way he killed the other bounty criminals when he was a bounty hunter. She was no more a friend or a person he love, she was a betrayer, and it would be easy for him not to look at her as a women and continue to pursue his decision on taking revenge on her.

'I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her!' screamed Zoro inside his mind furiously, 'No one dare to play around with me and get away with it, NO ONE! And she will PAY!'

Robin closed her eyes and look away before she could even shed anymore tears. Her desire in wanting his trust, was finally given to her. Yet, she did nothing but betray his trust. His trust towards her must had been broken into many pieces by now, and there was nothing she could do to put in together again.

She was glad that Lucci ordered her to run away from that place, without even bothering about the fact that Iceburg was still alive. The truth, ever since she arrived in the warmth place called friendship, which was given by the straw-hat pirate, she no more had any heart to assassinate innocent people.

Zoro heart skipped a beat of great pain to see her leaving, he figured that it was those kind of feeling he felt when one of his prey was trying to run away, "Luffy, don't let her run away!"

Yet, the CP9 were blocking them who were attempting to stop her. Robin was once again grateful of their action towards Luffy and Zoro, this would make her plan of sacrificing her life easier than before.


Sanji was looking around the place for Robin. He couldn't find her, it should be easier for him to find her in a city with barely any people around. Yet, he had been running everywhere with no clue of her whereabouts.

Suddenly he could hear a loud chaos coming from the deck1 of the shipwright. Being desperate, he decided to look for Robin there, who knows she was there.

He stopped his track when he saw something flew from the sky. His eyes were wide in shocked to the fact that the thing which was flying was not a thing, it was more like someone. It was Luffy! And he was not flying, he was thrown out and about to fall somewhere far, which he fear that it would be the sea.

"LUFFY!" cried Sanji in horror, he started to run towards the place Luffy fell.

Suddenly on the way of his track, he spotted the person he was looking for. A few miles away, but he still could see that person. That person was in fact, Nico Robin. She was walking slowly towards the sea, but it was the opposite direction to where Luffy fall into.

Sanji was in a difficult situation in where he should save his captain or follow the person he had been looking for. Unable to know why, he chose to follow to the direction his captain fell.

Robin looked behind, she could swear she heard someone steps behind her. When she looked around her, she could not found any trace of a single person behind her or around her.

'I must be imagining things,' sighed Robin tiredly, 'I'm too tired, I should go back to the train immediately.'

She sighed once again, while walking towards the place she was heading. Suddenly she could hear a loud cry from a familiar sound. It was not far away, nor was it near her. It was more like an instinct from her head of someone's cry.

She instantly looked at the sky above her. Her heart skip a beat of shocked to see what she saw. The person was falling from the sky with wounds on the person chest. She could also see that the person was unconscious. She started to cry in horror to know that the person was… "ZORO!"


Zoro was falling after getting thrown by one of those CP9 agents. He was not unconscious, he was more like closing eyes in pain from the wound on his chest. He kept on closing his eyes until he finally realized that he fell to the water.

He knew that the pain on his chest was hurting every fatal nerve in his body, normal people would not be able to move even a single movement from their body. Yet, for Zoro and his stubbornness, he forced himself to swim to the surface of the water.

As he reached the surface, he took a deep breath and coughed out some water. His vision started to turn blurry to the fact that he lost some blood. He cursed himself for being pathetically weak, he hoped that Luffy didn't end up in the sea just like him. Since he knew that there would be no hope of his survival if he fell to the sea.

Suddenly a soft word was murmured not far away from him. It sounded like, "Diez y Seis Fleur."

Hands were everywhere around his body with other hands coming from the nearest ground to pull him into the shore.

As he reached the shore, he started to stand up. He knew perfectly well who was his saver, and he didn't like it one bit. Just like what he had figured out, his saver was no other but Nico Robin.

"You…" growled Zoro angrily while gasping for air, "What's the meaning of this?"

Robin stared at him darkly, "I just past by, and maybe it help to pick up a nearby trash from polluting the water."

Zoro growled angrily at her statement, "Curse you, woman!"

Robin closed her eyes and looked away, "You're welcome, now I must leave."

"Stop!" cried Zoro, "Don't you even dare walk even another step!"

She looked at him in surprised to find him staring daggers of murder towards her. She started to tremble in fear, but her cloak had covered the fear shown by her body. She slowly whispered, but quite loud enough to be heard by him, "Why shouldn't I?"

In just a blink of an eye, the tips of two swords were found on the corner of her neck. She gasped in a total surprised and her heart begun to beat in fear and horror. Yet, her face was still expressionless.

Zoro smirked evilly, "Because I am planning to slice you to pieces."

She gritted her teeth as she begun to cried, "Tres Fleur!"

Two hands appeared on Zoro's body which knocked two of his swords away while the third hand started to choke his neck. It was Robin's turned to smirked evilly, "I told you not to point me that dangerous stuff."

"Is that so?" chuckled Zoro suddenly, "Are you forgetting that I'm a three swords swordsman?"

Her eyes were wide in shocked when another sword was pulled and started to make its way to slash her arm away. She immediately removed her arms away from his body. He too immediately halted his attack from damaging himself, since the think it was trying to attack had disappeared.

"Giving up so soon, Nico Robin?" glared Zoro

Robin chuckled, "I believe not, but really Roronoa Zoro. You know very well that you can't beat me."

He then took two of his swords and put the third one between his teeth, "What makes you say that?"

"From the first time we met and until now," she smiled evilly, "You can't even give me a single scratch."

Suddenly he slashed one of his sword from a distance, and like a speed of light, a slight slash had appear on Robin's neck.

She gave a small gasped in pain, while glaring angrily towards him. He smiled in satisfaction while giving her a small chuckle, "You were saying?"

She growled in anger, she had enough with his game as she begun to cried, "OCHOS FLEUR!"

Zoro was alerted when suddenly eight hands appeared attempting to twist his body, with a great speed, he raised his two swords and cried "SANZEN SEKAI!"

"ARGH!" cried Robin in pain when suddenly all of the eight hands she grew on his body were slashed, and also with a sudden great speed, he slashed towards her.

With a reflect action, she jump away as fast as she could from his attack. She did escape, but his attack did slash onto the corner of her arm.

She hissed in pain, it was a good thing that it was only a simple scratch. She glared at him who glared at her back.

"I'll make you regret," growled Zoro, "For playing around me as if I'm a fool."

She looked at him while giving a small gasped of pain. Her pain was so painful, she swore she wasn't able to bear for it even longer. The pain she felt was not because of the wounds he had cause. It was more like because of the word and action made by Zoro towards her to have caused her lots and lots of emotional pain. Yet, she couldn't blame him, it was in fact all her fault in the first place.

FLASHBACK

"Just go back to the topic," Said Kaku, "So after Robin shoot Iceberg, the blame will automatically given to the straw-hat pirates, since she's one of their comrade."

Robin eyes were wide in anger, "SO THIS IS YOUR PLAN!" shouted Robin furiously.

Suddenly something stopped in front of her face in a threatening manner. It was Kalifa's leg, Robin figured that it was about to kick her face since it was a few inches from her face.

"I thought we told you that we will NOT accept any complaint." Hissed Kalifa threateningly.

Robin eyes were wide in fear, she could even feel herself frozen on her spot.

"Nico Robin," started Lucci, "We will give you two simple choices. First, you do what we say, you do all the things we had planned and you will be a good obedience girl and follow us to the head quarter so you'll be punish for your crime, and as a reward, we will leave your so-called-friends alone. Or second, you may refuse on joining our plan and go back to where you belong with your pathetic group of friends, but we will burn this island along with all the island residence and your friends. And I know very well that your friends will not be able to go anywhere else since your pirate ship now is just a piece of trash which will easily destroyed by the ocean wave."

Robin gasped in shocked, the image of her fearful past begun to appear once again to her mind.

"So what will be your answer? Nico Robin," smirked Lucci evilly

Robin closed her eyes and gritted her teeth in frustration, 'These people are nothing but bastards!'

"I choose the first option," whispered Robin loudly while biting her lower lip in the process.

END FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK

"In order to fulfill my wish," said Robin darkly, "I am unable to travel again with you people."

Zoro glared at her, "And what kind of wish will that be?"

END FLASHBACK

'In order to have all straw-hat pirates excluding me to get away from this island without harm from the CP9 or the marine superpowers.' Robin thoughts had started to gain her emotional pain stronger than before, 'That is my wish! And I will do anything to make that happen! No useless pain will stop me!'

For the sake of her friends, and especially for the sake of the person in front of her, she should bear the pain a little bit more.

"Doce Fleur!" she whispered, forcing her wounded arms to be her weapon once again.

Zoro noticed that twelve arms suddenly appeared beneath him. He smirked, "You think that increasing more of your arms will slow me down?"

"I could try." She smirked back. Her arms started to grab Zoro's legs, but before she could grab his arms or even try to word another attack. Zoro had made his move, without even moving from his current place.

"San-Jyuu-Roku Pondou Hou!" he cried as he started to slash the air away from the distance. The force of his swords had slashed the air open to create a dangerous force of wind cutting attack.

Robin eyes were wide in shocked when she saw the force field of the cutting attack. She automatically trying to defend herself using her only option, "VEINTE FLEUR!" ten arms started to grow from each of her two arms, and created a whirlwind-like-flower as her shield from the cutting wind, "CALENDULA!" she closed her eyes in horror as the attacked begun to slashed towards her.

Her shield didn't work so well, since her shield was part of her body too. She began to cry in absolute pain as the attack slashed her shield, "AKH!"

Zoro smirked in satisfaction, especially when the twelve hands surrounding him were gone.

Robin held both her arms in complete pain, she glared angrily towards Zoro. She decided to give up the rest of her strength to attack him, "SEIS FLEUR!"

He was alerted to know she was still able to attack. Six arms started to grow around him and trapped every movement he could possibly give. He cursed for underestimating her, he then cried in pain when she cried the word "CLUTCH!" and cracked sounds were given as her six arms pull several of his limbs and neck as far as they can go.

Her strength when giving him the 'clutch' had worsen the pain of the wounds on her arms, a roar of pain was then given by both Zoro and Robin into the empty island of Water 7.


Sanji snapped as he heard the sudden roar given by two familiar voices. 'This sound…no…is it possible…'

Suddenly he could also see flame coming from Iceberg's building. He watched on horror on the situation he was now. He had three options. He could try to kept on finding Luffy, or he could try to check out the flaming building, feared that maybe one of his friends was involved in that mess, or he could try and found out what had happen to Zoro and Robin, since he just heard their cry in pain.

He cursed loudly as he begun to run, "I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry Luffy! I hope you guys are capable to take care of your own self. Robin-chan! Zoro! I'm coming!"

TBC

Note: YAY! I finally finish this chapter. I know you guys must be shocked with the title of this chapter. But the whole chapter explains everything right? I like to collect information about every straw-hat crews attacks and moves, so I just give this as an opportunity to put in my research about Robin's and Zoro's attacks and moves. I know, I know, Robin was not supposed to be wounded when she left Water 7, but I made her wounded because this is a fanfiction. And I'm sorry for the late update once again! Blame my slow internet connection for this. And also I won't forget about the scene where Zoro will later on end up stuck in the chimney, so no worries. There is no way, I forget to add that kind of stuff. So don't forget to review ok!
