One Piece Fan Fiction ❯ A Weird Pack ❯ Chapter 14

When Nami opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was a severe headache and the taste of blood. Then she noticed the crowd and the flames. They were very loud. Before Nami could pull herself together, Iceberg was standing in front of her. He had told people to give them some space and to talk alone time. Thus, Nami and Iceberg could be left alone.

“Well… First I am sorry. We were falsely accused of the crime. I'll clear up the misunderstanding later. I wanna talk about Nico Robin.”

Robin…

“Do you know something?”
“Did that woman change after you guys came into this town?”
“Yes! Suddenly! After she went out to the town she suddenly disappeared and by this morning she was the suspect of your attempted assassination. When my pack finally found her, she said she would no longer come back to us. We didn't know what was going on so in order to ask her directly we came here tonight.”

She stopped for a moment. Robin's words rang in his ear. For the dream that can't come true when she is with them? What was that? They all had big dreams. Damn it. That's why they were a crew in the first place. And that's why they were a pack except for those two.

"What's the dream that can't come true when she is with us..?"
“Let me tell you what I know. It was probably when you first lost sight of Robin, The Government's operation was already in progress. There is, of course, a reason for that woman’s actions. But before I tell you about that I want you to know that both Robin and I have the means to bring back the ancient weapon that could destroy the World.”
“Destroy the World!?”
“That's right. When Robin came to kill me, I had the opportunity to talk to her. What the government wanted were the plans for the ancient weapon pluton. I wouldn't give it to them anyway. I asked Robin what all this was for. What did she want? Robin wanted to learn history and she had a wish. Her wish was more important. She told me that the life she had once given up was saved by someone and given meaning again. She was ready to do anything for him and those around him. Including setting the world on fire. At that moment I realized that Robin had to be destroyed so I took the gun but couldn't pull the trigger. She chose the life of you six over the lives of all the people in the world.”

Nami's heart ached.

"For us…"
“Now they may have the blueprints of the ancient weapon. I am not in a position to criticize her though.”

Nami fell to the ground in an instant.

"HEY! What's wrong?!”
“Good… So Robin didn't betray us at all. I have to gather everyone and tell them right away. Thank you Iceberg-san!”

Nami got up and walked over to Chopper.

“WAIT! They were defeated. What more can you do now?”
"Now? It starts now! Luffy and the others are fine. I am feeling. They are my pack. We'll get Robin back! Everyone is weak when in doubt. There's no limit to what they can do now that they know it's okay to save her! Chopper! Chopper!”

After getting Sanji's message and dealing with both Luffy and Zoro being stuck bullshit, she couldn't believe they were finally able to go to sea with Rocketman, and right now we're heading to the Enies Lobby with possibly the weirdest alliance ever to occur. Sometimes after hitting the rails, the much-anticipated Den Den Mushi call came.

“Nami-san? Nami-san? Can you hear me?”
“Yep, is that you Sanji-kun?”
“Things are taking a turn for worse in here.”
“Turn for the worse? Sanji-kun! What was that voice?! What is going on?!”
“Because of that idiot…”
“I-idiot…Ah! Again! What?! Are you okay?! Who is the idiot you are talking about?!”
“Actually there are two idiots.”

Sanji briefly summarized what he had done so far.

“So… Robin still…”
“At any rate, it sounds lively there.”
“Say, Sanji-kun. I'll tell you the reason for Robin's actions and our current situation, so… BE QUIET!!!

Just as Nami was about to finish the story, Luffy and Zoro managed to pass through Aqua Laguna. So their conversation was interrupted for a while. Then she continued where she left off. When Luffy and Zoro came back, he called them over.

"It's Sanji-kun."
“Hey, is that you Luffy?”
“Oh, Sanji! How is it going on there? Where is Robin?"
“Robin-chan is still in their custody. Nami-san just told me the reason. Yeah… I heard everything.”
“I see… Yeah… Well… That's what's going on. Go ahead and give them hell.”
“What?!”
“WHAAAT?!”
“O! Don't be reckless Luffy! Tell him to wait until we catch up! Oh, COOK! Can you hear me?! There are some crazy guys on that train, so-“
“It is okay. Zoro… What would you do if you were there?”
“Hmm…”
“After hearing why Robin lied to us and was taken into custody in order to save us, could you just stay put? It is no use to stop him.”
“You know me well. Hey, moss head! Were you worried about me?”
“Why would I be, idiot?!”
"But sorry... After hearing everything, even it was the captain's order, I won't stop"

With that, Sanji's call from Den Den Mushi ended.

“He'll be fine, Zoro. Do not worry."
“I already said I'm not worried!”
“Don't be silly, Zoro. You, me, Luffy, Chopper, and Sanji are a pack. We share your feelings. And it's okay to be worried.”

Zoro didn't understand. How could they talk like they did understand when he didn't even understand what he was feeling? It was best not to think about it. That's why he, like the others, changed for the fight in the Enies Lobby.

Bored people imitate Zoro and Luffy's combo. Zoro was already nervous. He could feel Sanji was fighting. Also, they were making him tenser. Fortunately, just in time, the train cars started to come towards them.

"HEY! ZORO! Cut them! They are in our way!”
"Sure."

Zoro broke the train into two parts, but it wasn't finished yet. A swordsman stood before them. He wished he was stronger. If only he could stall Zoro a little longer. There was no point in waiting. That's why Zoro decided to sleep.

***
Even though the giant frog had detached the train from the springs and cut ties with the Franky family, everyone in Rocketman was taken aback by Nami and Zoro's squirming momentary pain. Paulie:

"What happened?"
“That damned cook got injured badly.”
“I hope Sanji-kun is okay.”

Fortunately, soon after, both the Franky family and Sanji met up with the others. They could now proceed straight into the Enies Lobby. On the way, Sanji told them about Robin's past. For Luffy, that didn't change anything. He was definitely going to save Robin.
