The crew walked deeper into the mines with Chopper taking the lead, the closer they got to the destination the more the crew heard sounds of machinery.

" There was a door a little bit ahead from here," informed Chopper changing to his human form.

" A door huh? So there are people down here..." said Sanji exhaling his cigarette.

" We should be careful, they must have a good reason for being here, who knows...they might be the ones responsible for the explosives," warned Nami.

" Them? I'LL KICK THEIR ASS THEN." Said Luffy charging down his path.

" LUFFY!"

Sanji grabbed Nami's shoulder back, " Nami-San let him go, he's upset about what happened ...hell I would do the same thing if I were him.

" But what if the people that are in there are marines or something?" Asked Ussop.

Sanji's curly eyebrows twitched, " Oh...uh...I don't know."

Nami ran after Luffy angrily, " LUFFY YOU IDIOT COME BACK!."

Meanwhile Zoro and Robin...

" Okay so, if we go our separate ways we can find Luffy and the others more easily?" Asked Zoro as he walked towards the mine sight.

"I do, but... you will probably get lost," said Robin frowning.

" No way, remember earlier what happened?"

" That was luck Zoro-Kun."

" I don't believe in luck."

" Watch out."

" Watch oou-

Zoro tripped over something in the ground and he cursed loudly at himself.

Robin's eyes went wide with fear as she saw what he tripped on.

"Zoro-kun don't move."

Zoro immediately froze, but looked at her confused, " Why what is it?"

" You tripped over an explosive if you move you might set it off," spoke Robin calmly.

" An explosive...you mean like the ones that Luffy and the others got blown away by?" Asked Zoro.

"I think so yes." she said backing away from him.

" I have a plan Zoro-Kun, when I say now I want you to slowly crawl forward until I say stop. When I say stop it will mean that you can get up." Said Robin crossing her arms.

" But my leg is touching the explosive if I move I-

" I know that just trust me."said Robin closing her eyes concentrating.

Zoro sighed and waited for Robin to give him the signal to move.

Suddenly he felt something grab his leg and release it from the touch of the explosive.

" Now...".

Zoro quickly crawled forward until she gave him another sign.

"Stop...".

Zoro got up and looked to his amaze three hands build up on one another picking up the explosive.

"TRES FLEUR... THROW!"

The grouped hands threw the explosive into the air and landed far away towards the mountains where they could see the explosion when it made contact with something.

" Thanks," he said smiling at her although she wasn't smiling herself.

" This wouldn't have happen if you would had been paying attention to where you were going." She said putting her hands on her hips.

" Well... you distracted me," he shot back.

" Did I?"Asked Robin smiling.

" Forget it... let's just find those guys so I can get some sleep I'm beat."

" Zoro-Kun... it's morning still," She said looking at the young sun over their heads.

" So? I'm tired."

" I'm going to have to change some of your habits Zoro-Kun."

" Good luck with that...". He mumbled.

" Zoro-kun..." said Robin.

" What?" Asked Zoro looking back at her.

She smiled, " I love you."

He turned his head forward hiding his red marks in his face, " Yeah you said that already."

" Zoro Kun...".

" Okay I know you love me already."

" Your going the wrong way...".

00 " Oh...".

Back to Tashigi and Smoker...

" Well let's get out of here said Smoker heading towards the door with Tashigi at his side.

"What about Abeam?"Asked Tashigi looking back at the frozen man.

" It's alright I already talked to him he'll be okay." Said Smoker opening the door.

" Let's just find Straw-Hat so that we can leave." He said going through the door.

Tashigi sighed, she admitted...finding Zoro was a high priority, but for Smoker finding Luffy was his first priority.

AUTHOR'S COMMENTS

Hey there I'm back ( sort of) and I know that this seemed a bit smaller than usual.

But thats what I'm going to talk about...see starting September 20th I might have a busy schedule...so I'm afraid that I'm going to call it quits for fan fiction.

So I just want to thank each and every one of you that have reviewed all my stories and I'm thankful that you where all honest as well.

I'm hoping for "future" writers to boost up One Piece, because it's a really terrific Anime and Manga story.

Especially relationship stories such as Zoro and Robin which have been my favorite couple for ever.

I have been offered a writing job that I just can't pass, but unfortunately I'm not going to have time for my stories here... So I had an idea yesterday... if for some reason I don't finish one of my stories...I will be more than grateful to GIVE my stories to other writers...in other words they can take the credit...I don't mind. What I care about is for people to enjoy the stories...that is what really matters.

If you want one of my stories just write a review and I'll email you...no sweat.

I hope that you guys also work with my forum as well and uh once again THANK YOU!

Seeee yaaaahhhh!
