Robin smiled quietly to himself. Apparently Luffy had forgotten that she was still there. She hadn't been able to read in the last few minutes, the conversation between the two pirates had been far too interesting.
She thought back to her conversation with Nami last night when Nami wanted her advice.
She glanced at Luffy. The game could begin ...



Robin closed her book and left Luffy alone on the deck. She had heard enough. When she entered her room, she was amazed. Nami was lying on her bed, writing something she couldn't see. She looked very focused and not exactly satisfied.

“What are you doing?” Robin dropped down next to her and tried to read the paper that was upside down for her. Although Nami had very legible writing, it could not decipher anything.

Nami blushed slightly after recovering from the shock. She hadn't heard her friend enter the room and was shocked when she noticed this."You know, I was thinking ... and then I made a pro and con list ..." she looked up at the older woman shyly. She grinned at her: "... with the topic of Monkey D. Luffy, right? You really can't think of anything else, you little girl in love!" Nami's face became a shade darker when she nodded in confirmation. Then she pushed the paper over to her friend so she could read what it said. Robin immediately grabbed the document. She was curious what Nami would think of first and foremost.

**********************************************

Pro:sweet, honest, nice, friendly, helpful, lovable, brave, brave, strong, and damn crap I love him!

Cons:gnawing, a miserable child's head, annoying, our captain, naive

**********************************************

"I haven't gotten any further with writing it down, but I can remember so much ... For example, that he's crazy, but also ambitious, loyal, always there for me ..." the redhead mumbled when she saw that the other had finished reading.Robin stopped the younger woman's quiet flow of speech, then grinned and grabbed the quill that was lying on her pillow and that Nami had just been using. Finally she added one point each for the pros and the cons before handing the sheet back to Nami so that she could read what she had written ...
Robin watched Nami read. She was pretty sure she knew how the other would react ...

**********************************************

Pro:sweet, honest, nice, friendly, helpful, lovable, brave, brave, strong, and damn crap I love him!and he loves you too!

Cons:gnawing, a miserable kid's head, a fool, annoying, our captain, naiveand asked Zorro whether he was sick because of this strange feeling he had  He doesn't know what love is !?

**********************************************

Nami's mind spun in circles.On the one hand, she wanted to laugh out loud because she loved the idea of ​​Luffy getting tutoring on love from Zorro. Especially because, of course, she didn't trust Zorro to do anything. Then another wonderfully funny picture came to her mind: What if Luffy hadn't gone to Zorro, but went straight to the ship's doctor? The little chopper would probably never have come up with the solution and would have told Luffy that he was very healthy, but of course he would have insisted on the opposite ...

On the other hand, Nami had to realize that she could never get closer to Luffy like that. She shook her head. Just as she knew her captain, he still believed in the rattle stork! After all, he still believed in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, even though he was much too old for that ... Sighing, she thought that they probably never had a serious chance of a relationship that way. God, just imagine she had to educate him about bees and flowers!These trains of thought and ideas were so absurd that Nami could no longer contain himself. She lay on her back and laughed loudly but cheerlessly, with tears of desperation running from her eyes. It was unbelievable! One would think everything would be good if two people love each other ... But there were two problems: First, one had to take the first step and tell the other, and second, this kid head Luffy had the spiritual Age of five, but no idea of ​​anything! He thought he was sick too!


Robin watched her friend pityingly, who by now was just crying on her bed and clutching a pillow. "Shhh, calm down ... don't despair ..." Soothing she stroked the younger one through the hair, but her thoughts had long since returned to the unhappy love. Of course, she had drawn the same conclusions as the younger one, and so she understood her desperation all too well.There had to be a way so it didn't end badly, right?

Robin stood leaning against the railing and watched the sunset. Nami had meanwhile disappeared into her own room. Robin had heard her sobbing for a long time in the room next to her, until she cried herself to sleep. It hit her very hard to see her best friend so desperate, it broke her heart too. All the time they had spent together on the Flying Lamb had welded the two women close together. The two had to stick together against the boys who made up the majority of the crew. Sure, all of them, including the boys, were almost like one big family. Robin grinned and imagined what it would look like:

Luffy was the father, after all, he was the captain and had brought them all together. Nami was the mother, because she made sure on the ship that the disorder and the quarrel did not get the upper hand.She saw herself as Nami's sister and thus aunt. She hadn't been there that long and saw everything from a distance, in addition, she had the closest bond Nami had. Zorro and Sanji were twins, the oldest children who took care of the others. Sanji was the perfect housewife and Zorro the calm haven of the family - unless he met his 'twin'. Just like real siblings.

Robin saw the first stars shine in the sky. All that was missing was Usopp and Chopper. Usopp was the middle child, and at times looked like he was struggling with puberty. Sometimes he was an adult, but often he was just a kid like the youngest of the crew, Tony Chopper.
Robin had to smile at the thought of the cute ship's doctor. Sometimes she felt towards him as if she had to mother and protect him, but he wasn't as childish and helpless as he appeared at first - and also second - glance. Deep down in him he was strong, both physically and mentally.They all had a deeper, inner strength that drove them to pursue their dreams, no matter what the cost ...
And now she had to grapple with a new dream! Don't dream, Robin! Switch it yourself. You'd better see what you can do for Nami. It wasn’t possible that the navigator just spent the whole day crying in her cabin!

Sighing, she looked up at the stars again. "Why is it all so complicated, can you tell me?" She shook her head. She just saw no solution. She should never have said that to Nami!

"Hey Robin, what question do you have that only the stars can answer?"
She spun around, startled. “Zorro!” “That's my name, thank you, I know.” He grinned and sat down next to her. Then he looked up at her. “What's going on now?” Sighing, she let herself fall next to him. "You know that ... at least partially ..." "Could you be a little clearer?" he looked at her exasperated."Sure, very simple. Nami loves Luffy. You know the rest, right?"

Zorro looked at her astonished. It looked like they would soon have a couple on board, but what was Robin's problem? "And where is the problem?" the green-haired man asked immediately. Robin hit his forehead. How could he be so blind? "Don't you remember the conversation with Luffy today? He has no clue about love, you still believe in the rattle stork!" Zorro had to grin. "What love are we talking about? Before we talk about rattle storks, the two of them should get together first!" "Ah, Zorro you stupid! Stop grinning so dirty, you know what I mean! Luffy is just not the type you look for in a serious relationship ... Or do you see it differently? "

"You know, Robin, I don't think that's really a problem. He's not always that childish, and he knows very well everything about love ... he just has never been in love, doesn't know any of it!"And, to be honest, didn't you think long about how it felt when you were in love for the first time? "Robin blushed. Yes, she had pondered for a long time. She understood what Zorro was getting at. Luffy had looked for a solution when he noticed the feeling, and he had immediately gone to Zorro and not dealt with it himself. Why would have He too, after all, his best friend could help him too! Robin smiled timidly. Yes, that would suit her captain, that he first talked to his deputy and best friend about it before he dealt with it himself. And when she was below deck had gone, he had also thought himself ... Was there still hope? Zorro patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, don't dream! "She laughed. Yes, he had made it. She wasn't so worried anymore." I'm not dreaming, I just noticed that you are right! "" Well, did you expect something else? I am always right!"He got up again and looked down at her again. "Go to sleep, Robin. Tomorrow you will get angry if you've sat here all night and didn't get enough sleep!" Then he turned and strolled back below deck.

Robin looked a long time at the door behind which he had disappeared. Thank you, Zorro! She thought before she got up too. He was right, she should get some sleep ...
