" Zoro-kun are you sure this is the right way?" asked a worried Robin as she looked around the town.

" Uh yeah I think so..." he said stopping and noticing that they were in a dead end corridor.

Robin sighed, " Zoro-kun why don't you ask for directions?"

Zoro's face was alert, " What?" " Ask for directions no way... you do it."

Robin smiled at the man's stubbornness and walked towards a group of guys.

Zoro noticed the group of guys certain interest looks as she walked towards them wich made him unease.

" Oi Robin let me ask." he said walking past her.

The guys frowned as Zoro came to them not Robin.

" Hey there," said Zoro greeting the strangers.

None of them smiled nor did they waiver in greeting.

" Do you guys know-

Zoro stopped at his sentence and thought about his next words.

If he asked them where a cafe was they would stare at him like he was an asshole.

No he couldn't ruin his 'male pride' so he asked his question in a different approach.

" I was hopping you guys could tell me where the nearest bar was , but she wants to go to a cafe so do you guys know where you can find one?" he said in a low voice so Robin wouldn't hear his words.

Although she did and she looked away.

"Men..." she said closing her eyes.

Zoro returned to Robin with directions to the cafe.

" Okay they said if we take a left we should be there...look for a coffeecup sign," pointed out Zoro remembering the last piece of information.

" That was it...just turn left?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

" Yeah...pretty easy." he said scratching the back of his head.

They walked to the left and looked for a coffeecup sign and didn't find anything.

Zoro turned around and managed to see the guys that gave them directions from a distance laughing.

Zoro ignored them and walked ahead while Robin followed,but had a sly smile on her face.

What the- AH SOMEONES TWISTING MY ARM!

Zoro stopped at the voice behind him, then he simply looked at Robin who gave him an innocent smile.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE DOCKING PIER...

" Oi Paulie take a look at this." said Franky under Merry's wood tiles.

Paulie ducked next to Franky and looked down.

" Aw shit, the fresh wax we put is getting absorbed." Paulie said touching the wood with his index finger as he rubbed it.

" What did we do wrong brother Paulie?" asked Franky.

Paulie got a crowbar, " We didn't do anything wrong...something moist is under the ship's tiles were going to have to take some tiles off and examine it from under."

" Okay let's get to work then." said Franky popping his fingers.

"Right after I get my cola boost though." said Franky heading towards the kitchen.

Paulie started to take the first rectangular tile off and then proceeded with the other.

When he took out a few he looked down and saw something shining.

" Oi Franky come here your not going to believe what I found!" said Paulie.

Franky ran towards Pualie with a cola beverage in his hand, " Oh what is it."

Paulie grinned brightly, " Gold Franky...gold."

Franky leaned down and looked at a broken treasure chest with jewels and gold.

" Wow look at all that." exclaimed Franky.

" How on earth did it get here...under the flooring board?"wondered Paulie out loud.

Franky looked at the chest of gold and found an old envelope next to it.

He opened it and looked at the letter.

It was smudged with oil and dust.

Read it," said Paulie looking down at the letter.

Franky looked at the letter and shrugged, " It doesn't say anything more than a sentence."

"What does it say?"

"To my daughter Kaya my one true treasure."

Franky scratched the back of his head, " Who's Kaya?"

Paulie shrugged, " I dunno,but I can't wait until we tell captain about this."

BACK TO ZORO AND ROBIN...

" Let's sit over here," said Robin choosing a booth far back of the cafe that they found.

Zoro nodded in agreement and took of his robe he had on.

" Zoro-kun, put that on." said Robin alert.

"Why?"

"It's kind of itchy and hot, it's just a big bother."

Robin placed a hand on her hip, " Ms. Navigator said that we should leave our robe's on for protection."

Zoro rolled his eyes, " Ah seriously if we did everything Nami told us to do we would be screwed, don't worry there isn't a single wanted poster in this cafe."

Zoro sat down in the booth, " Actually... I haven't seen a single wanted poster in this island now that I mentioned it."

Robin's face was still very stiff, " We can't let that be an excuse to drop our guards Zoro-kun."

Zoro looked at Robin tiredly, " Look just trust me on this."

She didn't sit in the booth she was still waiting for Zoro to put on his robe.

" Look..." He said reaching for her hand.

He pulled her to sit next to him, " I have no clue on what your so worried about, bu-

" Try the marines," replied Robin.

He sighed putting his hand on the table, " What about them?"

" They are looking for us...they are looking for us very badly." she said,

Zoro looked at her funnily, " Robin...they are always looking for us."

She gave him a reproachful look, " You know what I mean."

" Well Robin...let me tell you something." he said relaxing his head on the back of the booth's leather.

" The way I see it, if you worry about the marines trying to find you...then what your really doing is giving in to them."

Robin looked at him shock to hear such words from him.

" But...if you don't give in...

if you don't worry about them...

if you can clear your head about them and continue with your life ...

Then and only then will you become true to yourself."

Robin didn't know what to say she was still grasping the first words he said let alone the other ones.

Zoro hesitantly pulled her hood over her head off.

And he saw the face of an angel smile at him.

He wondered if he should... he really wanted too...why not...

He reached over and kissed her lips briefly without thought.

Robin didn't stop him nor did she move towards him she just let him kiss her one time...one time...it wouldn't hurt...

Zoro slowly reached for her ear, " Doest it matter really?"

Robin looked confused at his statement.

He continued, " Does it matter if the marines are here?"

"There is no reason to worry...because I am still right here." he said once again kissing her this time on her cheek.

Her face was hot inside, but not because she was blushing...no... it was because his words and his actions where confusing her.

And she didn't know if she liked it or not.

But those kissed however she liked.

After a moment they broke off and looked down with wondering faces.

Robin broke the silence finally, "So...when are you planning on putting your hand around me?"

Zoro smiled slyly, " When I feel like it."

At that moment he placed his arm around her and reached for the menu in his hand.

" What are you going to get?" he asked.
