After the encounter with Aokiji, Robin couldn't shake the memories that came flooding back. Her entire life had been spent on the run, constantly in fear, constantly guarded. Trust was a luxury she couldn't afford. But now, with the Straw Hat crew, she found herself in unfamiliar territory—she wanted to trust, but the weight of her past made it nearly impossible.
Two days ago, the Straw Hats had spotted an uninhabited island on the horizon, and they'd decided to stop for supplies. Everything seemed normal, until they crossed paths with Aokiji, the Ice Admiral of the Marines. His presence was overwhelming, and the crew quickly realized they were in deep trouble.
Zoro, ever protective, stood in front of Robin without hesitation. But no matter how hard he, Sanji, and Luffy fought to shield her, Aokiji's power was unmatched. In the heat of battle, Aokiji coldly addressed them, "Why are you protecting the Devil Child? She was never meant to exist." His words cut deeper than any blade, and when he reached out to Robin and encased her in ice, everyone was stunned into silence.
The aftermath of the fight left Luffy and Robin frozen, their lives hanging by a thread. Chopper worked desperately to save them, his tiny hands trembling as he checked their pulses. "Their... hiccup... hearts are finally beating again!" Chopper cried out in relief, tears streaming down his face.
The crew erupted into joy, but Zoro stood off to the side, his mind swirling with questions. "What's the deal with Robin? Why did Aokiji call her a devil child? A bounty at eight years old? What could a child possibly do to deserve that? What's her story?" He clenched his fists, frustrated with the lack of answers.
Now, two days later, Luffy was on the mend, but Robin remained unconscious. Nami sat by her side, worry etched on her face as she gently tended to her. "Robin... what's going on? Don't you trust us?" Nami's voice cracked with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, "Aren't we nakama? I thought of you as my older sister."
Sanji walked into the room just in time to see Nami crying. Without hesitation, he moved closer and wrapped her in a comforting embrace. "Don't cry, Nami-chan. She has her reasons," Sanji said softly. Despite his usual flirtatious demeanor, his voice was steady, serious. "Let's be patient and wait for her."
Nami clung to Sanji, crying into his shoulder, and for once, Sanji wasn't thinking about anything but offering support. He patted her head gently, his gaze turning to Robin, still unconscious. He knew Nami was right to be worried, but they had to trust that Robin would open up when she was ready.
Unbeknownst to them, Robin had been awake, silently listening. She couldn't stop the tears that began to roll down her cheeks. Their words touched her deeply, but they also fueled the guilt she felt. "If I stay with them, they'll only suffer because of me," she thought, her heart heavy. "I should've just let Aokiji finish me off. Why are they protecting me?"
The next day, things slowly returned to normal on the ship. The crew resumed their usual routines—eating, laughing, and enjoying their time together. But Robin remained distant, physically unwell and emotionally drained. Still, the crew's camaraderie gave her some comfort, even though she felt undeserving of their care.
As the Straw Hats enjoyed a meal, the door to the infirmary creaked open. Robin stepped out, drawing everyone's attention. Zoro was the first to notice her. He observed her quietly, noting her pale complexion and fragile appearance.
Chopper rushed to her side immediately. "Robin! How are you feeling? Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Robin offered him a small, weak smile. "Thanks to you, my wonderful doctor, I'm feeling much better," she replied softly.
Chopper beamed, bouncing happily on his hooves. "I'm so glad!"
Nami approached next, her worry still evident. "Robin, don't push yourself like that. Unlike Luffy, don't act recklessly."
From the corner of the room, Luffy grinned. "Yay, I'm fine!"
Nami shot him a glare. "That wasn't a compliment, you idiot!" she snapped, her temper flaring.
The tension broke, and soon the crew resumed their playful banter. But Robin remained on the sidelines, quietly retreating to a corner of the deck to sit by herself. The sound of the sea was soothing, but her mind was far from calm.
Not long after, Zoro approached her, carrying a familiar blanket in his hands. Without a word, he draped it over her shoulders, much like he had before. "You're still recovering," he said gruffly. "Don't force yourself to be out here."
Robin's heart skipped a beat. His actions were simple, but they carried more meaning than words ever could. Her cheeks warmed slightly, and for the first time in a while, she felt a small flicker of something akin to comfort. "Thank you, Zoro," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
Zoro gave a slight nod, his expression as unreadable as ever. "It's nothing," he muttered, before turning his gaze to the sea.
As they sat there in silence, side by side, Robin found herself questioning the walls she had built around her heart. Zoro, despite his rough exterior, had shown her a kindness she didn't expect. Maybe, just maybe, she could allow herself to trust him—and the rest of the crew—a little more. For now, though, she simply appreciated the quiet companionship they shared.
In that moment, neither of them spoke, but something shifted. Robin wasn't alone anymore, and Zoro, though he might never admit it, wasn't as distant as he appeared. They both carried their burdens in silence, but now, at least, they had someone to share the weight.
I am so sorry guys I hope it is good, I tried to change some parts. Cause on that scene I really liked it because they finally learn about Robin. Since she was always struggle and did not says anything about her emotions.
