"BROTHER!" shouted Sanji in pure surprise. Luffy, Nami, Robin, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji, Isao, and the guards stood in shock. Taro, Zoro, and the rebels didn't seem surprised at all. Sanako just hugged her brother and didn't say anything. Zoro glared at Sanji, who was still upset about hitting a girl.
"Did she just call you brother?" Sanji asked. Zoro ignored him, trying not to kill him for hitting his younger sister!
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!" he shouted at Sanako in his frustration.
"I didn't want him to hit you brother, I'm sorry." she said with an uneasy smile. Zoro was going to kill this king, and maybe Sanji for making her suffer, but right now, she was his main concern. Robin saw they needed to get out of there, and she still wanted to know what exactly was going on. She gestured to the rebels, and the leader, getting the hint, through a smoke bomb. It exploded, and when the smoke cleared, the rebels, Zoro, Robin, and Sanako were gone.
"Shit! What the hell is going on!" Sanji shouted. Then he turned and glared at Taro. "What did you forget to tell us?" he asked.
"I haven't forgotten to tell you anything. It is clear that he kidnapped his sister in order to get her out of here entirely, but ran into the rebels. They are a sneaky bunch and probably lied to him, telling him that they're on his side. They're probably going to wait until they get what they want from him, then kill both of your friends, then my Sanako! She was probably to upset at seeing him hurt so she didn't mind going back to her captures, as long as her brother was safe." Taro said.
"So it's the rebels that we have to beat up." said Luffy. Taro nodded. "Then let's go!"
"Wait dear captain, if I may suggest that we return to the palace for now and we'll plan out a better strategy." said Taro.
"But then they'll kill Zoro and Robin as well as Zoro's sister!" shouted Luffy in distress!
"I guarantee they will all be safe for now. What the rebels want is my throne, not your friends lives, yet." Taro said.
"I have to agree with the king, it will be best to rest for now. You may not want to fight Miss Robin and Mr. Zoro, but they won't understand at first and you may have to subdue them, which you won't be able to do when you're tired." said Isao. The royal guards nodded in agreement. It seemed like the best plan to them.
"I think it will be a good idea!" said Usopp, shaking at the thought of fighting Zoro and Robin again, even if it's until they let them know they no longer wish to fight, if that even makes sense.
"I want a bath too." Nami said, all for it as well.
"I don't know." said Chopper, not liking the fact that both of his role models were gone and that they would put off rescuing them so Usopp can sleep and Nami can get a shower. It just made him sad.
"Don't worry Chopper, we're going to bring them back, safe and sound." said Luffy with a huge grin. The others nodded, uneasily. Luffy had his big goofy grin on his face again. "I mean it's Zoro and Robin, they'll be back!" Luffy said.
"You can count on it." agreed Sanji, still a little mad at himself, but wanting to rescue Robin, Sanako, and Zoro, in that exact order. That shouldn't be a surprise though, seeing who it is.
"So it's settled, let's head back." Taro sang.
Zoro laid Sanako onto the ground and sat next to her. "I see, that is a problem." Robin said, finally hearing the whole story.
"Yah, anyway, Sanako should be up and moving soon, she fell asleep on the way here." Zoro said.
"You can tell she's your sister." said Robin with a large smile.
"What makes you say that?" asked Zoro with a scowl.
"It's true you don't share some of the same traits, but you both seem to sleep a lot and you both are increadably strong if she's going to be up and moving around after a hit like that. He ment to knock you out with that kick, not harm her." Robin said.
"Well, I really couldn't do much." Zoro said.
"Oh, I grabbed these, I thought you may want them back." Robin said handing Zoro his swords. He nodded his thanks as he put them away, then looked back at Robin.
"Thanks, for helping us back there." Zoro said. Robin nodded.
"So, why didn't you ever tell us that you had a sister. Luffy told us about his brother, yet you didn't mention Sanako! I think she's a nice young girl." Robin said.
"Because I don't have any right to call her my sister, my dad abandoned us before she was born, I was only one so I don't remember him, but my mother died after she was born, leaving us in the care of a couple in the village. When I was seven and she was six, I left home. I sent her letters all the time, but I didn't see her much. Three years ago, I got to go back and see her again. She had grown up so much while I was away and had trained to be a swordsman as well." Zoro said.
"I see, but she still looks up to you." Robin noticed. Sanako slowly woke up and sat.
"You alright?" Zoro asked. She looked over to her brother and nodded.
"Yah, I was just tired. Sorry for falling asleep on you!" she said with a huge grin. Zoro shock his head, but smiled back.
"I wish you wouldn't of gotten in that fight, you know I had it under control." Zoro said.
"It was just a reaction. I thought you were going to get hit, so I intervened." Sanako said with a grin.
"It's not the younger sisters job to watch out for her older brother." Zoro said hugging her. Then he turned to the rebel leader. "And you, I told you to watch her!" he shouted.
"We all agreed we couldn't let you go alone, so we decided to come and help! She wouldn't stay behind for anything." the leader said. Zoro looked at Sanako. She gave him a small smile.
"You know that the captain is coming to take you back!" Robin.
"I kinda figured he would, but I hoped he wouldn't." Zoro said. Sanako looked at her brother like it was all her fault. "Don't give me that look, you know that my friends won't give up, and even if they do, it's not your fault." Zoro said. Sanako nodded.
"I guess we get ready for tomorrow. Luffy and the others will be back by morning, if not before then." Robin told them. They all nodded.
"So, what's the plan?" Isao asked.
"Get Sanako and destroy the rebels." said Taro. 'I can't afford to lose any other pawns!'
