On the Going Merry

The atmosphere on the ship was pretty sour. Everyone was happy that they were able to get Robin back. But, the sacrifice of one of their crewmates left everyone pretty hurt. Even those who tried to hide it, (COUGH Zoro and Sanji COUGH) were noticeably in a bad mood.

Kokoro: "You sure you wanna sit up on top of that sheep head?"

Luffy: "Of course I do. It's the Captain's seat."

Kokoro: "Well, there you go. Careful not to fall." She placed Luffy on the Merry's head.

Luffy: "Sure. Thanks for the help, Monster Granny. And thank you, Merry. We never would've made it if you weren't there. I was pretty surprised when you showed up, but when I think about it, you've always been there to protect us. We've always counted on you. Anyway, I'm just happy you've been part of the team, Merry.
And..."

Luffy tightened his fist frowned his face.

Luffy: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Merry. I know we just left, but now we have to go back. We left someone important to us behind. I know he sacrificed himself and everything, but I refuse to accept his death!! We're going back!"

Franky: "You really wanna go back, Straw Hat? After all the crazy stuff you did back there? I don't think the Government's gonna let you off that easy after you burned down their flag and defeated CP9."

Luffy: "I don't care. It doesn't feel like a big deal to me. The only reason I did any of that was 'cause they took our friend and I wanted her back. And now that they've taken another one, I'm willing to do it all over again."

Kokoro: "I don't mean to question you, young man. But, what exactly are you planning to do? We barely escaped the Buster Call, this ship doesn't seem to be in the greatest conditions to fight, and all of us are exhausted from the battles. Just look at you. You can't even move."

Luffy: "We'll figure something out, right, Robin?"

He didn't receive an answer.

Luffy: "Robin?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Robin. She was sitting on the floor, with her back touching the railing. She had her face hidden on her knees.

Robin: "I... I don't think we should go back..."

Luffy: "EH?! What do you mean we shouldn't go back?!"

Chopper: "Why, Robin?"

Robin raised her head, revealing two streams of tears coming from her eyes.

Robin: "I... I'm scared of going back, and finding his corpse... I wouldn't be able to handle it..."

Sanji: "And why are you so sure that he's dead, Robin-chan?"

Zoro: "If there's something that you're not saying, just spit it out already, woman!"

Robin: "Back in Enies Lobby..."

Robin's Flashback

Usopp: "Jump!! Follow Luffy!!"

Nami/Sanji: "Go!" They jumped.

Zoro/Chopper/Franky:"Go!!" They followed.

Chimney/Kokoro/Robin: "To the sea!!"

Y/N: "Go to the sea... you guys..."

Chimney and Kokoro jumped, but just as she was about to jump as well, Robin noticed that Y/N was following them. He was still fighting multiple marines.
