One Piece and their characters don't belong to me, they belong to the genius Eiichiro Oda.
The sunshine rising in the east was a signal that a new day had come to the Strawhats. Calmly, the Thousand Sunny was sailing through the dangerous ocean from Grand Line heading to a new island. It was still early in the morning, so everyone was sleeping, even who shouldn't. It was Zoro's watch and he was casually taking a nap in the crow's nest. Of course that this isn't strange, since the green-haired swordsman never was able to complete a watch. But what was strange is that our infamous former pirate hunter was having a dream with a certain raven-haired archaeologist that he couldn't drive his mind off, especially after last night.
ZORO'S DREAM
Zoro spotted Robin across the deck and she winked as she turned around, wearing a sensual smile. Swaying her hips provocatively, she walked towards him, with her beautiful long hair shining with the moon's light.
" R-Robin….?'' He whispered.
"I want to talk to you, Zoro-chan'' She said seductively leaning to him, their noses almost brushing.
"O-oi Robin what you're doing? Are you okay?" He replied surprised by her sudden change of behavior.
"Do you ever felt attracted to a woman in your life?"
Zoro gasped for air. Did she just asked what he think she did? It came so suddenly.
"W-what's wrong with you woman?" He said trying to brush her off but he couldn't find the strength to do. She looked so sexy .
"What do you think about me, Zoro-san~? Do you like me?" She whispered the question into Zoro's ear slightly brushing her tongue in his earings.
"N-Nani? From where did you got this crazy ide-"
"I want you so bad"
Zoro stopped. "There's no way that Robin would act like this normally, this have to be a dream or something similar" He thought.
"Zoro…" She said seductively and leant to brush her lips to his, bringing her body even more close to his…
And then he woke up.
"DAMN woman!" He cursed, growling and noticing the bulge in his pants. He quickly went red as a tomato and sat up. "What in the bloody hell is going on with me?" I can't allow this control me, what kind of swordsman let his emotions-''
"Is everything alright, Zoro?" Robin asked entering the crow's nest. She was reading on the deck when she heard Zoro screaming and decided to see if everything was fine.
"Shit! From where she came? She was supposed to be sleeping goddammit!
" I'm ok, it was just a dream. What are you doing here?" He said harshly.
"I heard you screaming and decided to come here and see if you are okay, can't I worry with you? She asked concerned.
"You don't have to worry Robin, it was just a dream, it's gone."
"Do you want to talk about it?" The archaeologist asked coming close to him.
Problem. Problem. Problem. Roronoa Zoro was with three problems. First: Nico Robin was approaching him. The more close she got, more he was affected by her intoxicating and hypnotizing flower scent that got carved with fire in his mind. Second: Just with the word talk he remembered the dream and got embarrassed. Third: How the hell was he going to talk about the dream? To her from all of people?
"N-No, it was nothing, seriously, just a normal dream." He quickly answered taking a few steps back and sitting on the bench. Robin sat beside him and insisted:
"You screamed, Zoro. How this was nothing?"
"This woman, why she have to be so smart?"
"Thanks for your concern Robin, but I don't want to talk about it." Zoro said firmly. He was done with her interview.
"Alright then. Though I came here for another reason, too."
"What reason?" He said starting to relax.
"Don't you think that Nami was acting different last night?"
"Yeah I noticed, she was acting really weird and suddenly became a fries-tard." He said smirking.
"Fufufufu, you are right. Do you think she is planning something?"
"I don't know. But I think we should keep an eye on her."
"I agree. Though I hope she did not got possessed by a demonic spirit and it's being forced to kill us for a satanic ritual." She said casually.
"N-Nani? Besides, that witch with her normal behavior already looks like possessed." Zoro said remembering the dozen of times he got knocked by the feisty navigator.
"Fufufufufu…"
Zoro stopped with the sound of Robin's laugh. Of course he wouldn't tell but he loved her laugh. It was music to his ears, a melody that deserved all the efforts needed to hear.
Noticing Zoro staring with awe at her, Robin asked:
"Zoro, are you okay?" Leaving his trance, he cursed himself for staring at her like an idiot and decided to end the conversation.
"U-Uh? Yeah I'm fine. Robin, if you don't mind I'm going to train now, and I'd prefer be alone."
Robin sighed. The conversation was so good.
"It's fine, Zoro. Thank you for talking with me, I really appreciated our conversation." She said smiling and leaving the crow's nest.
"This woman…"
Nami woke up with a few sun rays reflecting her features and quickly rolled to her right looking at Robin's bed. "Empty. Why she always have to be the first to wake up?" She thought. The navigator was planning to do a lot of questions to Robin about Zoro in the exactly time she wake up in order to make her confess. But now that the archaeologist was nowhere to be seen, her chance was gone. Sighing, she sat up and walked to the window, appreciating the sunrise. She almost screamed when she saw Robin leaving the crow's nest. "W-What? What was Robin doing there? It's Zoro's turn to watch! W-Wait! Did she talk to him? Did she confessed…..? N-No, no way! Damn, I have to know!"
"Ei Nami, why are you talking alone?" Luffy asked.
"L-Luffy? What are you doing here? When you came into my room?" She asked surprised.
"Sanji sent me here to call you for breakfast, he's almost finishing. Hurry up, I'm hungry! Shishishishishishi."
"A-Ah, alright!"
"Nami, what you were talking before? Robin confessed? Confessed what?" Luffy asked with a questioning look.
"Shit, he heard it!"
"N-Nothing! Last night Robin and I were playing a game about confess and I was thinking about it! She quickly answered.
"Serious? Cool! Can I play it too?
"He bought it! He totally bought it! Thanks God he's an idiot."
"Of course captain!" She said tapping his back. "Next time I'll call you!"
"Thank you! Shishishishishi. Let's go for the breakfast, the meat wait for us!"
"Urusei, baka! And you can go ahead for the breakfast, I'll just change my clothes first." She said nearly throwing him out of her room.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye…." Nami said locking the door. "He almost figured it, I have to be more cautious. But this doesn't matter now, the only thing important is that I HAVE to know what Robin was doing in the crow's nest with Zoro!"
Changing her clothes and heading to the deck, Nami called Robin to their room for a brief talk. Once in there, the navigator started:
"Robin, what you were doing in the crow's nest? It wasn't Zoro's turn to watch?"
"I was reading in the deck when I heard Zoro screaming something like "damn woman!", so I decided to check if he was fine. Robin said with a calm face.
"Damn woman? Why he would scream this so suddenly?"
"I don't know, he said that I should not worry because it was just a dream."
"A dream? What kind of dream he had to wake up screaming "damn woman"? Unless he… And if he was dreaming with Robin? He always calls her like that when he's annoyed." Nami thought with a hand in her chin.
"Nami, what are you thinking? Robin asked inquisitively.
"Robin, do you thought in the possibility that he was dreaming with you?
"W-What? Dreaming with me? Why he would do this?"
Nami sighed. "Sometimes she is more slow than Zoro, if that is even possible."
"Because he likes you, and you like him too." The navigator said rolling her eyes.
"O-Of course we like each other Nami, we're friends." Robin quickly answered trying to avoid the subject.
"No no no Robin-neesan, we both know very well what kind of like we're talking here. C'mon, confess it, you love him." The orange-haired said winking.
"I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about, Nami." Robin said with a cool facade.
"Don't fight it Robin, I'm your best friend, you can always count on me. Love is a feeling that you can't hide for a long time and you are mature enough to know this. If you do, in the end you will be the hurt one."
Suddenly surprised by her words, Robin finally decided to tell the truth. Nami was right, she wasn't capable of hiding it anymore. She couldn't focus on her books, couldn't sleep and when she rarely did, her dreams were surrounded by a certain green-haired swordsman. Everytime she was near him it was like her eyes were forced to look at him. It was impossible to keep this feelings locked inside of her.
"Alright Nami, I kinda like him, are you happy now? She whispered.
"HA! I KNEW IT! And what's with this "kinda", uh?! Don't be shy!
"Be quiet, Nami! Do you want someone to hear?" Robin said creating eyes outside the room checking if someone was close. "Besides, my feelings are not reciprocated."
"Are you crazy? Of course he loves you too! How you didn't notice this before?"
"W-What? From where did you get this idea? It's impossible, why he-"
"Relax Robin, relax!" The navigator said cheerfully."Let's just start with the plans to make you two a beautiful couple!"
"Plans, what plans Nami?" The archaeologist asked shocked.
"Listen, all you have to do is…"
The afternoon came soon for the Strawhats and Robin decided to put the plan in action. Sprouting eyes on the deck, she spotted Zoro leaving the crow's nest with a towel in his shoulders and heading to the deck. The archaeologist quickly grabbed the chessboard and the pieces that were in the table beside her bed and stepped out of her room after him. When he was leaning down on the mast and preparing himself for a nap, she reached him.
"Hello Zoro, are you up for a game of chess?" Sometimes they played chess at the end of afternoon while everyone was busy. For Zoro was good way to exercise his mind and relax his spirit after a long day of training, and he's always up for a challenge. To Robin, a good hobby and a way to evolve her strategic knowledge.
"Sure, but it's better you prepare yourself Robin, I won't go easy on you this time." He said confidently. Robin smirked. "Got him."
"How about we make a bet then, Zoro-san~?"
"What? A bet? Why this so sudden?" He asked surprised.
"My, my! Are the infamous Roronoa Zoro afraid of a bet? How disappointing." She said teasing.
"Are you out of your mind woman? I don't fear anything. It's settled, we have a bet."
"He accepted a bet without even knowing what it is? You are really one in a million, Zoro." Robin thought.
"Who lose the bet have to do everything the winner wishes for one day. Without complaining."
"Everything? What kind of bet is that? A contract of slavery or something?"
"Fufufufu, nobody forced you to accept the bet Zoro, now you have to deal with the….. consequences." She said provocatively.
Zoro gulped. "Calm yourself Zoro, calm yourself. I just have to win this game and nothing is going to happen with me. But that's exactly the problem. How the fuck I'll win this woman?
"Shall we start, Zoro?"
"Y-Yeah…"
2 MINUTES LATER
"Check Mate." Robin said smiling.
"How did you-? Since when your Queen was-? Arrgh, damn it!" Zoro growled.
"Fufufufu. I guess I'm the winner."
"Yeah, but this certainly was a good match, next time you won't stand a chance with me. Now if you don't mind I'm going to take a nap-"
"Wait, Zoro." Robin said firmly.
"Shit, she remembered!" He thought cursing himself.
"Calm down Zoro, as the winner of this bet I'll only ask you one thing." She said coming close to him.
"Only one? What is it?"
Slowly pushing the chessboard to the side, she sensually leant into him and whispered in his ear "Go on a date with me."
