Arrival At Sathir
A week had passed since their visit to Hakurane and things seemed to be quiet, everyone was looking bored, everyone wanted to reach Sathir soon! Zoro started sleeping more than usual which was already plenty, while Chopper Usopp and Luffy seemed to have created some sort of "Fun Team" which was dedicated to brighten the day for everyone, though they usually just pulled pranks on Zoro and Brook, Franky was missing since the beginning of the trip, he was working on some new machine that he said would be "Super!", Nami spent her time relaxing while Sanji attended to her every whim and Brook was trying to be helpful to everyone but constantly managed to create a mess (usually due to the efforts of the Fun Team).
But Robin was the only one who looked like she was thinking of something important, however she was always like that when she started reading a book she would put her heart and soul into it so no one gave it a second thought.
And so their journey continued.
Robin didn't mind the fact that the ship was less agitated lately, that actually helped her think but the rest of her friends seemed to be getting bored and Luffy already managed to create a way of keeping himself entertained much to Zoro's and Brook's dismay.
The days were quiet and calm, no Marines came after them which Robin thought was strange it wasn't like them to be quiet after a group of pirates declared war on them, so she assumed the only other reason was the area they were in. The World Government didn't want to interfere with the situation in Sathir.
"A country split in two..." she said out loud, usually the Government would try to control the situation, the only thing that would make them retreat was if some important figure related to them was involved...
Suddenly she was remembered of Alabasta, when Crocodile tried to take over the country the World Government did nothing...
Was there a Shichibukai involved?
"What are you doing Robin?" a voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around startled, not because someone called her from behind while she was distracted but because of who that voice belonged to.
"Ah, Luffy, since when were you... I should ask you the same what're you doing?" she asked this because the young captain seemed to be trying to hide somewhere in her room.
"Hm? Oh! Nami seems to be mad and now she's after Chopper and Usopp." he answered with a grin. "Mind if I stay here for a while?" he finished with a big smile.
Obviously someone had done something to the navigator and obviously she was looking for Chopper, Usopp AND Luffy.
Before she could answer the captain she heard something bang on her door, and then came a very irritated voice from the other side.
"Robin! Have you seen Luffy around?" Nami was clearly about to explode Fun Team seemed to have messed with the wrong person, and Luffy seemed to be thinking the same thing because he was making the face of a man sentenced to death, maybe he was thinking he might never become the King of Pirates.
She was distracted looking at Luffy thinking how cute he looked like that when Nami called her again.
"Robin! Are you listening to me?" once she was brought back to the real world she decided to help her beloved Captain.
"Ah Navigator-san, I'm sorry I was distracted reading, what was it you needed?"
"Finally, have you seen Luffy around?"
Robin looked over to see the young captain looking at her with puppy eyes, she chuckled and answered in a calm tone.
"No not really." she made a small pause and resumed "Did something happen?"
The navigator sighed.
"Can I come in?" she asked, apparently it had been something that couldn't be explained a few minutes while having a door between them.
Luffy that just a moment ago was looking relieved was now looking desperate.
Robin yet again chuckled at the young captains innocent look, and started pushing him, Luffy was now looking confused and didn't know what to do except let her push him.
She quickly opened the closet door left Luffy there, after that she headed for the door and opened it.
"Do come in, I was just putting my book away." She said with a sweet tone.
Nami was looking frustrated she was frowning deeply and at the same time looked like she was about to explode, it was hard to describe the face of the navigator.
Luffy was relieved Robin decided to help him but he was now in danger with Nami walking around in there. It was not like he did anything bad...
'Boring, how much longer do I have to stay in here... How can they talk for so long!?'
He was starting to get bored and there was nothing to do inside the closet, it was dark and cramped in there.
After a while of trying to move quietly Luffy found a comfy corner and decided to just rest his eyes for a bit...
"...And then they smashed my table, breaking my ink bottles and destroying my maps!" Nami finally took a break to breath.
"Well I'm sure the captain just wanted to cheer things up." Robin answered with a smile on her face trying to calm the navigator down.
"I know, it's just that it was hard work making those maps!" she looked down and then back up, she seemed to have calmed down.
"I'm sure he didn't mean to do anything bad, you should try and make those maps again, they are important to you right? If I find Luffy I'll take him to you." she lied, she knew Luffy would eventually have to deal with Nami so she wouldn't turn him in just yet, the next morning she'll probably punish him and the others.
She escorted Nami out of her room and went to check on Luffy
When she opened the door of her closet she found Luffy asleep, she thought he looked comfortable so she decided not to wake him up.
After finishing reading her book she went to bed, taking one last look at Luffy she fell asleep.
The next morning she woke up and Luffy was gone from the closet...
"Oh morning Robin!" she nearly fell of the bed when a voice came from the other end of the bed. "You know, Franky got different beds... Yours is really comfy"
She couldn't believe he was in her bed, he was just sitting there but for how long had he been there? Had slept under the sheets with her? Her head started filling with questions and her body as if finally realizing the position she was in started to shake and her face gained a deep red tone.
"Well, I'll be going to get something to eat Sanji said he's be making breakfast earlier today since we're arriving at Sathir" saying this the young captain left as if nothing happened.
Robin was just happy he didn't freak out like last time and called the whole crew to the room.
She took her time before she headed down for breakfast, and once she arrived at the breakfast table it was the usual scenario, Luffy was fighting Usopp and Chopper for food while Sanji was split between complimenting Nami and yelling at them to quiet down. Zoro and Franky were discussing something and Brook started to shoot some of his death jokes towards Chopper who started laughing. The usual scenario indeed.
She was distracted looking at Luffy, he was laughing and eating without a care in the world. She was a different matter, it was still bothering her how close she was with him.
"Robin-chwan!!" the cook seemed to just notice her presence and started flirting with her while pulling her chair for her. "Ah Robin-chwan, your beauty is that of a goddess. Sit here, I'll prepare a fine breakfast for you."
"Thank you cook-san." she replied curtly, right now she wasn't in the mood to play along with the cook.
After a while everyone finished their meals and headed out. Robin went out to the Thousand Sunny's deck.
After a while reading under the small trees Franky had planted she heard Zoro's voice.
"There's and island up ahead! Nami is it Sathir?" Zoro asked, no doubt it looked like it, Robin took a look at it and was surprised at the size of the coast, it was massive.
"Yeah, no doubt that Sathir!" Nami answered. " That's strange though."
"Hmm? What's so strange?" Usopp asked.
"We have no information except that the country is split in two and that war is imminent but there's not a single ship on the harbor, you'd think whoever is in charge of this territory would watch the waters so that they wouldn't be attacked." she replied. "I think we shouldn't just dash towards that island like that, we're pirates after all, and the last thing we want is to start a war, let's find a place to dock and then head for the mainland in the mini Merry."
" I agree, we don't know what might happen if suddenly a pirate crew with a bounty like ours suddenly enters the country, they might thinks their enemies hired pirates to deal with them, or even if the don't they might start attacking us fearing that we're there to harm them, that would also start a war, it's like navigator-san said, this country is in a fragile situation we should proceed with care."
Luffy didn't seem to get what they were talking about but seemed to understand that they should do as Nami said.
"Yes if the two beauties say so that's what we will do!" Sanji didn't waste and opportunity to compliment both Nami and Robin.
"Well then I'll find a place to dock the Thousand Sunny" said Franky.
Everyone started to head back inside so they could get what they needed.
Nami had told everyone to be careful not to bring anything that might look suspicious and warned that if anyone made any stupid moves they would have to deal with her everyone shook in their boots when she said that specially Luffy who was receiving one of Nami's famous death glares.
After the ship was hidden behind and massive rock Franky said he would stay behind to take care of it.
With that everyone headed to shore with the mini Merry.
Once they arrived Nami seemed like she wanted to say something but everyone disappeared, the first ones to go missing were Luffy and Zoro followed by Sanji, Brook and Usopp.
In the end Robin ended up alone, looks like everyone split up, she could only imagine the navigators face...
She started heading towards the center of the small town, once she arrived the streets were deserted.
Luffy had started to explore the island in order to find a restaurant but he had gotten lost along the way and was now walking around the strangely deserted streets.
"What's wrong with this town." said Luffy with a small frown on his face. "Oh! I can see people inside their houses but, why isn't there anyone on the streets?" he said that while looking at a window, but as soon as he said that someone pulled the curtains.
"Hey you!" an authoritative voice called. "Who the hell are you?"
"Me? I'm Luffy who're you?" said Luffy with a grin on his face while looking at the person who looked like a middle age soldier of some sort.
"Oh a wise guy huh? Well I don't know why you're violating curfew but you just got yourself into a lot of trouble!" the man was now pointing a gun at him.
"Hmm?"
Luffy was about to started a fight but he was suddenly pulled by a someone who passed by running.
"Hey! Stop!!"
The person seemed to knew were to go because the soldiers who started chasing after them were soon lost.
Once they came to a stop Luffy looked at the person who had helped him but before he could say or see anything he just heard a girly voice.
"You moron! What the hell did you think you were doing? Do you want to get yourself killed?"
Author's Notes: Took me a while to update sorry for that, I had some important things to do, but now I bring the beginning of the adventure in Sathir, and I'll be introducing some OC's so I'll be creating pasts looks etc which I can only assume will be a pain, but I think I already have a few things thought out.
Hope you liked the new chapter!
