Yay! Now for a two part series/ character study that involves Frobin!

Theme: Dark

Characters: Franky, Robin, Luffy, Strawhat crew, etc.

Pairings: Frobin, ZoNa, LuVi, but it's mainly a Robin character study and her relationships with the crew

-x-

The darkness would always consume her. There would never come a day where she could once again walk with the light. Or so she thought. But the Strawhat Crew had waken her up from that nightmare.

Her Captain was an eccentric boy (man?) , always deciphering right and wrong in that strange way of his that made her giggle. He saved her through the fire and flames, but knew it was nothing compared to the way he saved the Princess. He was the first one to pull her from her world of hate and spite.

The Swordsman was indeed a man, and a great one at that. He was the only voice of reason besides herself on her crew, and she thought she could maybe make something of them one day. Until she saw the way he looked at the Navigator.

The Navigator was a wily girl, using her looks and brains to get her out of trouble. She also used them on the Cook, but that was another story. The wily girl was her best friend, something she never thought she would have.

The Cook. What was there to say about him? He was definitely crazy about all women, but he always had a soft spot for the Navigator (and now her, too) that made the Swordsman jealous. He supported her through all she had done, and forgave her for it, too. She thanked him for that.

The Doctor was not a man, nor a boy. He was a reindeer, and an adorable one at that. He was her son, she didn't doubt it for a second. She would always protect him, too.

The musician was a rare one, indeed. He was the first one that made her show so much anger in her emotions. His skull jokes got old quick, so she supposed it was no surprise.

The Shipwright. He was a cyborg, but not completely. (Her methods of getting him to join the crew were proof enough of that) He met her in a sea train, where the first speech he ever gave her was about how she deserved to live and no one deserved to die just for existing. She decided right away that she didn't like him.

The next thing to happen was when Spanda hit her. The man, the cyborg, he looked so raging that a woman he didn't even know was being hit around and treated like dirt. It got them both in even more pain. She hated him now.

He redeemed himself slightly when she suddenly turned to find that his ASS was EXPANDING. Even she could appreciate the comedy. The image was ruined, however, when he wrapped his legs around her body, and FARTED. Given, it was so powerful that it broke through a few walls and fences, but it was nevertheless a fart. When he grabbed her to jump towards the wall so they wouldn't fall. That was the first time she even considered him a guy she could get along with.

Nevertheless, she still reserved judgment. Until that one moment when she saw him as a MAN. She was about to be gunned down by that idiot Spanda. As she turned her face away from what she thought was her imminent doom, she thought it was over. Never to find the Rio Ponygleph or bond closer with her nakama, or anything…

That's when he stopped the bullets FOR her. And yes, even though he wouldn't be hurt, he just shielded her from bullets. He was definitely a man, as far as she could tell from looking at his back.

He unlocked her handcuffs. As she fell, he caught.

And then he put himself between her and an elephant. He was truly a man of kindness and chivalry.

When it came time to convince him to join, somehow, Robin knew it would be her to convince him, whether it be one way or another. And I was certainly another. In no time at all, she had grasped his manly regions and squeezed him into joining the crew.

There many other incidents that occurred. They worked together, they exchanged what even she would call "innuendo". She payed him back for the many times he had saved her life. He let her step on his head to save herself. He listened to what she said even when the Captain couldn't.

But now was the worst moment they had, with him and as a crew. They disappeared one at a time. Until it was his turn.

She couldn't do anything. Only watched as the Shipwright got sent to wherever he was sent. Away from her.

"FRANKY!!"
