Adventures of the Roronoa Family

Together At Last - Part 2

As dawn broke over the Revolutionary Army base, casting a soft golden light across what seemed like a barren wasteland, a new life was about to be welcomed into the world. Nico Robin, having found refuge with the revolutionaries during the Straw Hats' separation, was in the final stages of labor.

The base, usually buzzing with the activities of the revolutionaries, had fallen into a hushed anticipation. Koala, having grown close to Robin over the last few months, was at her side, offering support and encouragement. "You're doing great, Robin," Koala said gently, holding Robin's hand. "Just a little bit longer."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Robin shook her head and murmured, "I can't. I can't do this without him. I need him here."

Koala, understanding Robin's longing for Zoro, squeezed her hand trying to comfort her friend. "I know, but you two will be back with each other soon."

The air was filled with tension and expectation. Robin, amidst the pain and exhaustion, tried to focus on the thought of her child. Zoro's child. Their child. The thought gave her strength.

As the first cries of the newborn pierced the morning air, a wave of relief and joy swept through the room. Koala, tears in her eyes, beamed at Robin. "It's a girl, Robin. She's perfect."

Robin, overwhelmed with emotion, held her daughter for the first time.

Sabo, upon hearing the news, let out a whoop of joy and rushed in to see the newest member of their extended revolutionary family. "She's incredible, Robin. Congratulations!"

Outside, the news spread quickly among the revolutionaries. The base, usually so focused on their cause, allowed themselves a moment to celebrate this beacon of hope - a new life in the midst of their struggle.

Holding her newborn daughter, Olivia, Robin's thoughts wandered to Zoro and her Straw Hat companions. She longed for them to be there, especially her swordsman, to see this sweet new life they made.

As her friends exited the room, giving her space with Olivia, a sense of solitude began to envelop Robin. Gazing down at Olivia, now calmed and quiet, she spoke softly, "Your father would probably melt at the sight of you. You'd win his heart just as you've already won mine. I can't wait to tell you all about him." She tenderly kissed Olivia's forehead, allowing her tears to silently stream down her face as she thought about Zoro.

The birth of Olivia was more than just a new chapter in Robin's life; it was a symbol of the resilience and enduring spirit of the Straw Hat Pirates. Even separated, they continued to grow, to face challenges, and to prepare for the day they would sail together once more.

After making it to Sabaody, Nico Robin, cradling her 15-month-old daughter, Olivia, ducked into an alleyway. Her heart pounded as she listened to the distant voices communicating over a transponder snail, "We've located Nico Robin." On the other end was another voice, "Don't kill her. Be sure to bring her in alive."

Robin stood there for a few moments trying to keep Olivia quiet as she thinks: "Did I lose them?"

Speaking quietly to Olivia, Robin murmured, "We need to hurry. The others might already be here." Gazing lovingly at her daughter, she added, "Soon, you'll meet your father."

Reaching the Thousand Sunny, Robin turned Olivia to face their ship. "It's been two long years, Sunny," she whispered. As she took in the sight of her home, she looked down at her daughter, "Welcome to your new home, sweetheart." Her reunion with Sunny was interrupted by Franky's exuberant shout.

"Ah! Look at that beautiful woman over there! Is that our archeologist extraordinaire, Robin!?" Franky exclaimed while striking his usual pose.

Robin giggled in response, "You haven't changed a bit, Franky."
