[Robin was on the bench outside the konbini trying to eat a sandwich when a comic bubble appeared above her head.
It started to show a memory of Robin in seastone handcuffs. Seastone canceled her devil fruit powers and made her feel weak, but she had accepted her fate. However, in front of her was the people she was trying to protect. She couldn't believe it there was the Strawhats standing on the other side of the gap in Enies Lobby. Her relief quickly turned into dread. Despite her best efforts she still managed to drag the best people she's ever met into her mess. She fought every urge to ask them to take her back instead she shook her head.
"Why are you here? Go away! Don't you know what will happen if you continue to associate with me?"
Luffy frowned as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You're part of my crew! I'm not leaving, until you tell me yourself that you don't want to be here with us!"
Robin's eyes widened as she tried to process what was going on in front of her. Luffy came back for her? He traveled all the way here just to talk to her? Despite her best effort she started to hope. Maybe this time...this time she found a crew that actually wanted her. Her hope was dashed again when Spandam started to tell them about her reputation. How she's evil, her name as devil child, and the fact that she would be the cause of the end of the world. Robin waited for the Strawhats answer when Luffy told Sogeking to shoot the flag.
Did she hear that correctly? Robin couldn't stop her gasp when she saw the World Government's flag on fire. She trembled as she turned back to Luffy.
"I don't care about any of that! Robin! If you don't want to be with us then tell us, but I know that's not what you want. Tell me! What do you want!? ROBIN!!!"
Robin trembled harder as tears rolled down her cheeks. She could finally hope to be with people who wanted her around. Since she was eight she only wanted someone to love her, to accept her, and she finally found it. Robin couldn't help it anymore she dropped all her walls as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I WANT TO LIVE! TAKE ME WITH YOU! HELP ME PLEASE LUFFY!"
Robin continued to eat her sandwich as she quickly wiped a tear off her cheek.]
[ sunny you are SO powerful for writing this down. i'm making everyone read the manga.
It's hard to stop himself from looking when he passes by Robin's comic bubble, and it's impossible when he sees Luffy. He stays, wide-eyed (singular eye) until the end. ... It's fondness, in his face and in the grin he gives Robin at the end, because of course his brother would declare war on the world for a crew member. That's the most Luffy thing he's ever heard.
But his gut twists a little, because there's something horribly familiar, about both the scenario (seastone chains, the government, Luffy willing to fight the world) and about Robin's words and life itself. He tries not to think about it. ]
... He's always so reckless. [ he says it like he'd never want anything else for Luffy ] You can't have been expecting him to do all that, huh?
[I had to write it down! haha yes more people to read the manga.
Robin gave a fond smile as she shook her head.]
I would have never imagined that he would follow me, but declaring war on the World Government over me? It made realize that I met someone much different than anyone I ever met. Experienced pirates are afraid of them, but not Luffy. He's one of the people in the world that I would do anything for.
He doesn't have enough common sense to be afraid of that.
[ it's teasing, like either of them are afraid to go against the government themselves, but he also looks totally pleased that robin would say this about luffy.
though speaking of luffy declaring crazy things to the world against the government for someone he cares about. they do have that in common, going by the comic panels that pop up in front of ace. he looks shocked when they appear ]
