"Nami, lets go back to the hotel… I'll prepare something special for you and Robin chan for dinner," said Sanji carrying two bags while Zoro carried three boxes of shoes.
"….. Robin want to call it quits," asked Nami turning to Robin who was putting on her usual hat.
" Im fine with stopping," said Robin a hand on her waist.
" Okay then… but we should met Luffy and the others first no," suggested Zoro looking back to Nami.
Nami looked up then got a hard look on her face, " okay fine… I suppose that's a good idea then Sanji can make dinner,".
At the word "dinner" a memory flashback occurred in Zoro's head.
FLASHBACK " Wait Zoro…"Zoro turned to see Lin with his eyes opening and kicking rocks in the ground. " Um… I have to go to school right now… but if your not busy… could you have dinner with me and my mom…im sure she won't mind she likes visitors," he said still glancing down at the ground. Zoro thought about it for a while and knew he had never done something like this.. but what the heck ." Alright kid… I'll meet you here when Im ready," said Zoro smiling ." Thanks Mister Zoro…," said Lin finally looking up at him. END OF FLASHBACKZoro stopped and looked at his friends, " Ah… something came up to me just now… you see-
ZORO…. GUYS HEY OVER HERE, said Luffy running along with Ussop and Chopper at his side.
They caught up with them Luffy waited no longer to tell them about there invitation, he took a while explaning this to them.
" Really," said Nami shocked.
" Yup she said she would invite us… really nice kid, her name's Carine Kutosaki," said Luffy smiling.
" WHAT," said Zoro shocked with the girl's last name.
Luffy looked a bit confused, " I said… she's a really nice kid, her names Carine Kutosaki,".
" I know that last name," said Zoro.
" Really… how," asked Luffy.
" Umm.. it's a long story….lets just say I met a boy whose last name was the same as the girl you were talking about…. And he too invited me over dinner," said Zoro looking at Robin to see her reaction.
Robin looked at him a bit thoughtful… she wondered why he didn't tell her this earlier…
" So are you saying we got invited to dinner by two kids that could possible be related," asked Ussop.
" It doesn't matter lets go," said Luffy ready to go.
" …………." The rest of the crew looked at each other in concern.
" Come on…. Don't be wossy's lets go," said Luffy with a wide grin.
" Alright I'll go besides im already invited," said Zoro looking at Luffy.
" Ill go too then," said Robin smiling at Zoro who gave her a small grin.
" If your going Robin ill go," said Nami brightly.
Eventually the whole crew left towards the ship to drop out the bags of supplies they bought as well as merchandise.
Zoro had told them that the boy said he would met him up at the place they met ( only problem was he forgot were it was) fortunately they met up with the little girl and she greeted them all and asked them to follow her.
As they walked towards the girls direction Zoro walked next to Robin, " Robin…"
" Hmm"? Robin looked at him with a smile.
Zoro said nothing instead he put his arm around her neck witch surprised Robin and Zoro himself.
" Zoro everybody's here… they might…-
Zoro touched her hair softly with his hand that was around Robin, " I don't care anymore Robin… Im not scared that everybody's here…. I….love you…," said Zoro shocked at himself.
Robin stopped walking and turned to him… her heart stopped pounding for a second… he had just admitted his feelings towards her…
" Zoro… I…." said Robin having trouble breathing for some reason.
" I've loved you since the first second you joined our crew…" Zoro said feeling her warm skin as he touched her cheek with his fingertips now that they stopped walking.
Robin closed her eyes enjoying the feeling of his touch… then she opened her eyes " Why all of a sudden have you-
" Changed" said Zoro finishing her sentence.
He put his other hand around her waist, " Not to long ago I finally realized… my life isn't what its all cracked up to be… if… if something were to happen to me… I would never forgive myself in the afterlife… not telling you how much I love you," said Zoro.
Robin's eyes grew immensely and Zoro slowly leaned his head towards hers and he felt her breath… her perfume… her scent… he felt her lips as he pressed his lips towards hers gently.
Robin too kissed him back and enjoyed every second of it his body felt good towards hers, she wanted more, but she stopped and broke the kiss and put her head on his shoulder.
" Sometimes Zoro…. I swear to god…. Sometimes…"
Zoro grinned and leaned to her ear, " I love you… nothing can change that… nothing… I'll always be there for you….no matter what,".
Zoro stopped grinning when he felt drops of liquids on his shoulder… he turned to look at her she was crying.
"Hey… what's wrong," asked Zoro looking deep into her mysterious blue eyes.
"… I've realized … im in love with an idiot," she said with a sob and a giggle.
Zoro thought she might be crying of happiness.
" Im not an idiot," said Zoro grinning again.
" Apparently you are… love has fooled you," said Robin looking up to him and smiling.
" Then I am an idiot," said Zoro kissing her forehead.
Nami was watching all along and she smiled, " Come on you two love doves we got to keep moving,".
Zoro and Robin blushed, as they walked with the rest to the invitation dinner.
And although the crew didn't know it…. A relationship between two people had just gotten very very strong.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Ken knocked on the door of his family's house a bit nervous towards what his families' reaction might be.
The door opened up and a woman with long black hair came out and had a very hard smile on her face.
" Ken," she said immediately hugging his oldest son.
" I was so worried you wouldn't make it… are you okay… are you tired…. Are you injured…. Are you hungry…. Why haven't you written," she said relieving her hug and checking her son's body for bruises.
Mothers thought Ken smiling.
" Im fine mother… just hungry but im sure once I get some of my mother's food ill be better," said Ken with a gently smile.
" You bet… now come in… watch the cealing… you've gotten so much taller," said his mother as he ducked a bit as he came inside the house.
He took a hard glance around the house… everything was just like it was before he left… except the clock was put on the kitchen now not in the living room.
" Mother where's Carine and Lin," asked Ken eager to met them, to see how they changed…
" Carine is coming… she went to get some of her friends to come over… there actually older people not her age but she insists on bringing them over… I don't mind… do you," asked his mom as she turned around from making the table.
" Of course not… she should have friends who are they…" asked Ken bending down and looking at a little fish tank that was not there before he left.
" Don't know,…" she said going back to making the table.
She stopped and she turned to Ken, " Wait I forgot to tell you… Lin also invited someone… he said this man helped him get confidence to himself,".
Ken tapped on the glass of the tank and smiled as the fish swam to a corner in alert, " Really whats his name,"
His mother looked down then looked back up, " Now Lin mentioned me his name…. what was it… ah yes… something… like…Roronoa Zoro," she said.
" WHAT," said Ken getting up and looking at his mom.
" What's wrong? " asked her mom.
" Nothing forgive me…," said Ken.
He knew exactly who that was… the infamous bounty hunter…Roronoa Zoro the man everybody said was a demon inside a human body… but he knew he should not worry his mom.
" Ah look Ken here they come right now," said his mom smiling looking at the strangers with her daughter.
" Mom… please stay inside," said Ken putting his right hand on his swords hilt on his waist as he walked outside.
" Ken….?"\
As Ken made his way outside he stood firm, ready incase of combat… he looked at the strangers as they came in view… and it was who Ken thought they might be… the Straw Hat Crew the same ones who killed Crocodile… the same people that destroyed a Marine base… the same people that escaped one of the three admirals of the Navy… the same people who took down the secret world government group known as CP9.
" Hey is that you big brother… it is you," said Carine running towards him and hugging him.
" Big brother… I've missed you so much,"
" Big brother…. What's wrong," said Carine as Ken didn't hug her or even looked at her… he just looked forward to the straw hats.
Luffy walked forward with his crew, his hands behind his head smiling.
" STRAW HATS…DON'T MAKE ONE MORE MOVE…. ," said Ken taking out his sword.
Luffy stopped smiling and looked at him in confusion.
" Why what's wrong," said Carine.
" Get inside Carine," said Ken softly.
"But big brot-
" I said get inside," said Ken.
Carine ran inside and hugged her mother scared.
" You are not welcomed here," said Ken pointing his sword at them.
" I don't want any trouble… so I suggest you leave," said Ken.
Luffy stepped forward, " I think there's a misunderstand-
"DON'T COME NEAR ME," warned Ken aiming his sword down.
Luffy ignored him, " Come on lets not fig-
" Santoryou Reimpa," said Ken
In a split second he slashed Luffy to the ground.
" Luffy," Chopper cried as the rest of the crew were in shock.
I have to protect my family no matter what thought Ken aiming his sword in case of another attack.
