(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Many Years Later

Robin laid herself back and relaxed herself. Her body has finally given way, and that was after the long labor she just went through to deliver her new baby boy. It took eight and a half months to get to where she is today, but she finally pulled through. Zoro, trying to be the best husband and now father he can be, was stressing out as to which he should focus on more: his wife or the new baby.

Robin chuckled. "Take care of the baby for now."

Zoro lightly rubbed her head. "Get some sleep. You did a great job."

Finally, Robin closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

When she opened her eyes, she realized she was back in her own bed in the women's quarters. Everyone had gathered around to not only see her, but to see the baby as well.

"He looks like her mother," said Sanji. "Thank god."

"What was that?" Zoro hissed.

"Looks like the bet on Zoro's kid being a girl went completely down hill," said Franky. When he brought the topic of the bet back to the surface, almost half of the crew members groaned. They were losing money so easily, it was almost pathetic.

Luffy laughed. "Looks like we got a new 'marimo' in the family!"

Robin looked closer. He was right. The baby inherited his father's green hair. Because of that, Robin couldn't help but laugh as well.

"He still needs a name," said Chopper.

"He should have the name of a hero! Like my name!" said Usopp.

"Now that's just stupid," said Sanji.

While the crew members discussed amongst themselves about the baby's name, Robin sat on her bed, thinking of the possible names her son could have. Usopp was right, he should have a name like a hero, but she's always planned to put Zoro's name in there as well. After putting two and two together, Robin came up with the only name she could think of.

"Zero. Roronoa Zero."

Everyone stopped talking. The new name received different emotions coming from each member.

"That's a.. very unique name, Robin-chan," said Sanji.

"Zero-san, huh?" murmured Brook.

"Its.. cute," said Nami.

"I like it!" said Luffy.

"Uh, Robin, why Zero?" asked Usopp.

"I wanted a name to match his father's, and having a hero's name would be a good touch as well," replied Robin.

"Its quite ironic really if you think about it," said Sanji. "Zero, a hero?"

"But remember, he's going to be a future pirate! No mentions of him being a hero when he grows up," Luffy ordered. For that, Nami slapped him upside the head.

"Baka!"

Zoro's eyes never left Robin's, and when she finally looked back at him, she saw him smiling back at her.

"Roronoa Zero, huh? Its got a nice ring to it. A good name for a future troublemaker."

"Like his father," Robin added.

The final few chapters have finally been planned out. Its sad seeing this go /:
