It's 'great' to be young

Day Two: Morning to Midday

The next morning Brook returned to the galley as Franky had just finished to place another screw into a hinge.
"Yoho! Good morning. Have you been up all night?"
"Morg' n," Franky finally stood up and opened and closed the refrigerators door a few times. "Yes, but the refrigerator's open now."
He was proud of his work and continued: "As I said before, this refrigerator was designed by a super genius but in me he found his master! The designer has built in some backdoor mechanism, just like I would have..." Fine lines of confusion showed on his forehead.
"HUNGRY!!" Luffy was the first to run into the kitchen, shouting his demand for food.
"Good morning! Did Miss Robin enjoy the food?" Sanji looked up at the two grown-ups in hope for a positive answer.
"Where's Robin?" Usopp also came into the room, followed by Zoro.
Franky scratched his head in embarrassment. The whole night, he had been upset with himself. He had handled the whole situation in the worst possible way.
"She's probably still asleep. She'll come around when she wakes up."
"Well, let's take care of the starving masses, YOHOHOHOHO!"

Meanwhile, Robin had been awake for a few hours already. She had kept reading the logs. She needed more information if she was gonna show that idiot what an idiot he was.
She continued with the journey to Skypia, defeating Enel and returning to Earth.

Slowly it became apparent that the Going Merry had to be repaired.

She read how they met the Foxy Pirates and how the Davy Back Fight went. How the crew of this ship had nearly lost their Doctor, Chopper. But he had been won back and finally the end fight between Foxy and Luffy.

Then, the meeting with Aokiji, the admiral.
From here she often had to take breaks again. What she read was like a nightmare.
The arrival in Water Seven and how they had been all in high spirits, then how the Franky Family had stolen the money while she herself had left the crew, then the news that the ship could not be saved.

Robin read about the fight between Luffy and Usopp, the attempted assassination of Iceburg by herself and the CP9. It continued with how the Strawhats had come under suspicion because of her, how the spring tide Aqua Laguna had threatened everyone, how Sanji and Sogeking had followed her on the train and how the other Strawhats with the help of the Galley La workers and the Franky family had followed in a second train. It all had happened because Robin had chosen to go with the CP9 to help her crew.

She continued reading about the fight at Enies Lobby and how everyone had risked their life for her. And always with them, Franky, who was first an enemy and then an ally.
That couldn't be true. It was all too unbelievable. That arrogant guy would never risk his life for her. A few hours ago, he had threatened her. But if that wasn't true, then neither was the rest and... no... she had to read on.

The rescue was successful and Going Merry had come to help them, to travel a last time with them.
They met with Iceburg and Galley La... then Merry broke down and finally her cremation, the final goodbye.

Robin had to take frequent breaks, walk around the room and calm down. To think. The whole story had been written down by Nami back in Water Seven. At the end, there was another entry in porneglyphs saying, "Thank you, friends - Nico Robin."

Once more she sank into a deep silence. These children had risked their lives for her and declared war on the world government. Or will do it... or will have it done... or... Robin looked outside. It had to be a few hours into the morning by now.
It was time for some answers. She sat down again and continued.

Franky built them the ship, the "Thousand Sunny". Finally he was 'forced' to join the team.
Robin had to read the paragraph twice before she closed the book again and tried to process what she had just read.
She couldn't have done... but... it was written there. The way she had gotten the ship's carpenter to become part of the crew.
Actually she had wanted to read the rest in one sitting up but now she had to take a break... AGAIN.
