Minawa: Thank you for your patience with this update since I put the story on hold. I don't own One Piece (if I did then I would have myself enter the series and shoot all the cowards of evil enemies there are in the series, Spandam for example)

Mika: Hey! that's my job, I got first call on him!

Minawa: Since when, if I may ask? And, I'm not gonna let you shoot him. It'd ruin the story. *puts hands on hips*

Mika: Isn't that the whole point of Fanfictions? To to whatever you want with whomever you want?

Minawa: ...touché. *strokes chin*

Mika: So can I...

Minawa: No.

Mika: But I...

Minawa: No.

Robin POV

We had been quiet for a while when Mika suddenly had started to scream. I had flinched, worried that she was in great pain but it was different this time.

She didn't stop or pause for air nor did she hold back any of it. And it was just painful to hear. Emotions running wild with such power was a frightening thing you seldom experienced. This wasn't a scream caused by physical pain but pain of ones heart.

Suddenly the scream broke and was replaced with a laughing voice. The laugh of a mad man. Then as it died someone came in through the door. We had already arrived to Enies Lobby so it didn't come as a surprise when they all escorted us towards our deaths. Yes, a prison such as this was to be considered as death itself.

As we walked up the long stairs the marines stood lined up at the sides, whispering about, most likely, us. Stupid really but the only thing left to do is ignore it. On the other hand, I was worried about what Mika had waiting in front of her. She wasn't a fully-fledged criminal nor had she done anything deserving her fate. It hadn't been my intentions to get either Franky or Mika involved. Now they too were doomed. And it was my fault.

Mika POV

I drifted in and out of consciousness, picking up images along the way. Most of the time I was just in pain but I knew for a fact I'd be fine along the way. I'm no doctor, don't get me wrong, I know zero about the body except for the fact that push-ups are good and too much of coke isn't. Somewhat I knew my ribs hadn't poked a hole in my lung and I didn't bleed, at least not on the outside. Sooner or later I'd regain strength and make a run for it.

My eyes slowly opened, feeling sticky in the process. I looked to my sides, finding Robin walking a few steps in front of me. Personally I was being dragged along, stomach down. Thanks a lot guards, you are officially my new favorites! (Sarcasm inserted here…)

We had exited to a balcony and once I got close enough to the edge I could look over it. Over on the other side of the bridge there was a slightly smaller building and there on the rooftop I could see our saviours. The crew stood lined up by the edge and I felt a small hope light inside of me. As the blurriness of my eyes disappeared more and more I finally made out Zoro standing there and our eyes met. Only for a brief moment but I could see it in his eyes. They told me what he thought: I will get you out! and I felt the corners of my mouth twitch upwards. But my attention quickly fell on Robin, as she spoke.

"All thanks to a single attack, the Buster Call. This same attack has finally shown up. It's aimed at the nakama I finally met and trust. The more I wish to be by your sides, the more my fate will bare its teeth to you! No matter how far I continue my journey on the sea, there's still that gigantic enemy I can't shake off! Because that enemy is… the world and its darkness! That time with Aokiji, and now this. I've gotten you all involved twice already. If this goes on forever, no matter how easy going you all are, someday you will see me as a burden! It's obvious that someday you'll betray me and throw me away!"

I could feel my whole body jerk at her comment, as if I wanted to spring up and stop her. I couldn't believe that she had been carrying these thoughts with her, always being afraid of the people she loves. Because, I guess…hope she does, at least. Oh no, I got sidetracked…

"That's what scares me the most!"

See, I told you she did.

"That's why I didn't want you to come and save me!"

Wait, what?

"If it's a life I'll lose someday, I want to die right here and now!" She yelled. I froze and stared at her. Robin…

The sable guy started to laugh in a mocking tone, drawing my attention.

"I understand now!" he laughed out as my temper started to rise again. Who does this bastard think he is? That son of a bi**h moron, ruining the after shock of her speech!

"That's right on the mark! That's exactly it! There's no one out there who'd be stupid enough to not think of you as a burden after traveling with you!" insert moronic laugh here. I was just about to yell back at him as his finger suddenly pointed to the sky.

"Look at this flag, pirate scum!"

You called me what?

"That mark. It represents blah blah blah and something about Grant line." He started to say but I'm sorry, I had trouble listening with my temper and trying to kick him from where I was standing. It wasn't exactly easy to hit him from 10 feet away.

"Do you understand how powerful the organization after this woman is?" he yelled at us. I looked at the flag, stopping my attempts to reach the sable guys ass with my shoe. I couldn't help to feel something bubbling inside of my as a grin escaped my mouth. At the same moment a flame was shoot trough the air, passing by us it pierced the flag and had it burst into flames.

"WOHO!" I yelled as the flag was burnt to a crisp and murmurs were heard all over the place. Go Luffy!

"Are you out of your mind?" the sable guy yelled. I smiled.

"Just a little but the doctors says it won't affect my everyday living." I said in a fully honest tone. He looked at me like as if I was telling him he had a green elephant on his head. A few seconds passed before he ignored me, leaving me continuing to kick in the air.

"Don't think you'll be able to survive having the world as your enemy!" he yelled at the others down on the lower building. I'm feeling kind of left out…

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR!" Luffy yelled back.

Robin," he continued "I still haven't heard it from your mouth!" he called over. I looked at Robin, as the tears broke out from her eyes.

"SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE!" he yelled. The tears streamed down as she looked down, staying silent for a few moments. I stopped struggling for a moment, just waiting for her to say it.

"Robin…" I whispered loud enough for her to hear. A few seconds passed but I already knew.

"I WANT TO LIVE!" she yelled. Shivers ran down my spine as I too started to cry, just a little bit.

"TAKE ME OUT TO THE SEA WITH YOU!"

A smile escaped me and it got even bigger when I saw Franky crying even more than I did, crying out "I love you guys! Damn it!" and stuff.

The sound of the bridge lowering drew my attention and it was obvious that the others were going to make a move soon. Sable guy was yelling things like; "don't come!" but who cares now? He's such a coward it's written all over him.

All of a sudden the bridge stopped, hanging midair. Someone called over, telling us to escape.

"G-good! You did well!" Sabel, or as his real name was, Spandam (even worse…) said.

"We'll head to the Gate of Justice before they get here!" He jumped down from the stonewall, grabbing Robins shoulders.

"Oi, Nico Robin!" he said. "Take in Cutty Flam, someone!" he ordered as well. I felt my eye twitch as he didn't say a word about me. I'm totally ignored, you know!

He continued to talk about how we were just pirates and how Robin and Franky are important when building a weapon but honestly, I was too depressed to listen. I'm part of the crew too…if they didn't want me here then my pull me along…

Spandam continued to laugh before turning and noticing Franky, who had been staring at him.

"Cutty Flam." He said, making notice of his presents. Franky then held out a bunt of paper, holding it up and actually making everyone look.

"Those are… you couldn't possibly…" Spandam said in shock. (I remembered his name!)

"The blueprints of the ancient weapon, Pluton." He said. Pluto? Isn't that a yellow dog? A planet? Have this guy been to scool?

"It's the real thing. Do you believe me?" Franky asked before flipping trough the pages.

"Lucci, Kaku. You guys can tell, right?" he said as their faces proved Franky to be right. Franky was actually holding the real deal…

"I didn't think you would but, you were hiding it inside yourself the whole time?" Kaku said more than asked. I thought about it for a moment and then stopped myself from feeling sick when I realized Franky was a cyborg. Otherwise it would have been really gross…

"Is…it real?" Spandam asked, reaching out a shaking hand. Franky didn't move a muscle.

"Give them here! Give them to me! My long-awaited blueprints!" he yelled. Power freak much? Don't lose your head and all that, you kind of failed at that…

"Nico Robin." Franky then said, pulling back my attention.

"I guess you really can't rely on the rumors of society…" he said, reminding me of high school back home and of how easily a rumor spread. It was a nostalgic feeling.

"During the time it took to get to this shithole, I found out you're not the devil that would put the weapon to use for no good." He said and they shared a long stare, letting his apology hang in the air.

"In the first place, what the ship workers of Water 7 inherit from generation to generation, it wasn't a blueprint for how to build a weapon." He said, "Hey, Spanda! What Tom-san and Iceburg tried to protect with their life is…"

"Hurry up and give it to me!" Spandam cut off. Wasn't his name Spandam? Or Spanda, is it like a nickname? I'm confused…

"If the ancient weapon were to fall into the hands of an idiot like you and let loose, then a weapon would be needed to be build in order to resist that. To contain a reckless outbreak is this designer's wish. It's true, if you use Nico Robin, then you could revive the ancient weapon. Even if it's not her intention, as long as there is a chance that she could be used to do so then she's a dangerous woman. But for her, she has nakama that don't hesitate when looking into the face of death. That's why I'm…gonna make a bet.

At this moment , if there's a chance to fulfill this designers dream, then there is only one thing I can do." Franky said.

"Stop blabbering and give it to me immediately! They're mine!" Spanda yelled. I looked at him, surprised he hadn't listened to a single word. Franky was talking about something important and yet…

It didn't even take 5 seconds until the bunt of paper was on fire. I turned and looked at Franky in surprise, realizing he had used his breath flame…

Watching Spandams, Spandas or whatever, face as he realized what was happening was almost amusing but as I realized the seriousness of the situation I didn't do anything.

"You! What are you doing?" he yelled as he ran over and fell on his knees next to the aches.

"It's burnt to a crisp! Damn it, I will kill you!" he yelled at Franky. I watched the others faces as they all realized their hard work was now nothing. I smiled.

"In your face…" I whispered, only loud enough for me to hear.

Mika: *mutters*

Minawa: Say what?

Mika: If you're not gonna let me shoot him, you could at least let me kick him!

Minawa: It's not my fault you suck enough to not reach him...

Mika: *gasp* you...YOU TOOK AWAY MY MARY SUE-NESS! *stomps off*

Minawa: ...kids, these days...*shakes head*
