Chapter 1- A Dream

Tomorrow will be a great day for Luffy since he will be headed back to Sabaody and meet all of his friends/crew again. Luffy unable to wait decides to head to bed right after his training only having a small dinner.

Luffy then finds himself walking on open plains filled with flowers. The sky was filled with a beautiful Aurora ranging in many different colors. While looking at the site Luffy hadn't realized the woman standing before him.

The beautiful woman wore a white gown and a white hat. Although, he was unable to make out what she looked like as her hat created a shadow over her face.

"Who are you?" he then questioned the woman.

The woman then looks up at him only showing the bottom half of her face smiling at him, then fading away. Then the world around him slowly crumbles as she disappears, and finds himself awake in an unfamiliar surrounding.

"What the hell I don't remember sleeping here, but this place does look familiar" standing up and finding a mirror he sees him.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAA! Why the hell am I back here," as Luffy stared in shock at seeing himself in his 7-year-old body.

Luffy then realizes where he was and had to confirm his suspicion and headed to Makino's bar. As he arrives he sees Shanks and his crew partying and drinking.

"Ohh! it's Shanks!" Luffy then said in surprise.

"Hey there Luffy! You look like you've seen a ghost, is everything alright?" Shanks asks Luffy.

"Yeah… everything is just fine" then walking towards him and took a seat.

Makino then walks to Luffy handing him his favorite drink orange juice, "hope you like it Luffy-kun."

"Thank you, Makino onee-chan."

As Luffy begins drinking he hears his stomach growling, remembering that he hadn't eaten much last night. Then spotting a strange looking fruit in a box, having a lightning pattern on it and a swirling stem. Luffy having no other choice decides to take a big bite of the fruit.

'This fruit tastes disgusting' as he was in thought Shanks looks at him with his jaws dropping.

"NOO LUFFY! Spit it out that's no normal fruit you're eating," flipping him upside down Luffy let out a small discharge of electricity.

"I can't believe out treasure was just taken and eaten by a little boy. Well, Luffy since you ate that fruit you can never swim again" Shanks then tells him.

They then get interrupted by a gunshot coming from the entrance of the bar. The man standing at the entrance Higuma with other bandits just behind him. Higuma then silently walks towards the bar desk and orders some booze. Once he received the drink he spat it out on Shanks prompting the other bandits to laugh, but this gesture angers Luffy.

"Hey what are you doing! Apologize to him now or you will pay!" Luffy screamed towards Higuma.

Then looking at Luffy, Higuma smirks "and what are you going to do about it little boy" he said mockingly and the other bandits laughed at him.

Suddenly, Higuma and the other bandits just fall to the ground making Makino scream in horror. Then everyone looks at the little boy who had knocked the group of bandits without even touching him and slowly backs away. Shanks and his crew however fully knew what had happened and spoke up.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT LUFFY! How do you know something like Conquerors", Luffy stares at Shanks which made everyone gulp at what he was going to say.

"I don't know I saw it in my dream…" everyone then blinked and fell backwards at this statement.

"THERE'S NO WAY YOU LEARN THINGS LIKE THIS FROM A DREAM!" screamed Shanks with shark teeth.

Luffy then begins to explain the fruit he ate last time was the Gomu-Gomu no mi and the events of this day. "The last time this happened Higuma captures me because I went to fight him alone. Then threw me into the ocean making you lose your arm to a sea king"

Shanks was then looking at him in shock realizing that he would do something like that, in order to teach him the consequences of his recklessness.

Then continuing the story," Then when me and my crew were setting sail for the new world. We were stopped by a Marine Admiral, and got separated by Kuma a Shichibukai."

Luffy then takes a deep breath for the final part. "I then landed on Amazon Lilly befriending the people there. I then found out my brother Ace was going to be executed, I went to save him b-b-but…" a tear starts to fall from Luffy's eyes.

"Hey! Luffy don't cry now you don't have to continue," Shanks realizing what happened stopped him.

"So what happened before you woke up here?"

Luffy trying to regain his composure then replies"I was doing the training Rayleigh left me with. Then on the last day before going to meet my friends/crew, I saw a woman in white in an open field. When she disappeared I woke up back here."

After hearing Luffy's entire story, Shanks was convinced that all the events that happened in his dream were too realistic. Luffy knew of other devil fruits something he should have learned about, just a while ago. Also knowing about the Shichibukai's, and most importantly learning from the Dark King Rayleigh, the Roger pirates vice-captain. When Shanks tried to thinks about how it could be possible, but gave up or else his hangover will get worse

As Shanks was about to leave he looks towards Luffy, remembering the story's that he was told occurred in the dream world. Even though all the traumatic things Luffy experienced, his dream to become Pirate King hasn't changed at all, and his goofy and clueless nature hasn't changed either.

"Well then Luffy, before I leave, I will entrust this hat to you" then placing the hat on Luffy's head, forming tears in Luffy's eyes.

"Luffy you shouldn't cry over something like this aren't you a man" prompting Luffy to nod at him.

Weeks later Garp's marine ship arrives at the docks and was welcomed by the villages. The mayor then goes up to him to complain about his grandson.

"Garp that grandson of your, done an outrageous thing while you were gone." The mayor tells him while Makino nods behind him.

"Hahaha! Luffy?" Garp then dismissed it thinking 'probably just stole some food'

Afterward, Garp finds Luffy eating inside the Bar, he was then dragged out to the foresty mountain.

"Grandpa! Why did you drag me here I was hungry!" Luffy whined

"I'm going to train you to become a strong Marine" Three gorilla's then appeared out of nowhere.

The gorilla's then dropped on the ground with bumps on their head surprising Garp. "I told you I don't want to be a Marine, I'm going to be a pirate king"

Luffy then had a bunch of bumps on his head, Garp picks him up and starts heading to a certain location in the mountains. Luffy holding his head realizes where he was going got excited that he will be able to see his brother again.

A small building can be seen, with a bulky curly-haired woman standing at the front door.

"Dadan, I also want you to watch over this kid for me." Garp tells her.

"HUH! You're leaving your responsibilities to me again?" she then cried because he isn't the first.

"Is there something wrong with that?" looking at her with a dark aura silencing her and just nods in agreement.

While Dadan and Garp were having a conversation, Luffy then spots Ace sitting on top of a tiger and approaches him.

Ace then speaks up "What is a little kid like you doing here? this isn't the type of place to be playing games."

Garp then appears behind Ace and smacks him in the head. "Luffy this is Portogas D. Ace he is 3-year-old making him an older brother to you"

"I don't need a weak brother…" staring coldly at Luffy and walks away into the woods.

"Don't worry about him Luffy just give it some time and he will open up to you" Dadan tells Luffy.

It didn't take long for Ace to eventually open up to Luffy, as a day later while he was being followed. A giant snake appeared before the two, which Ace then thought it would be good to test Luffy's strength.

Hiding away at a safe distance 'I hope he doesn't get eaten. I could beat these guys in minutes at his age'. While he was thinking that Luffy instantly gets eaten by the giant snake 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?'.

Inside the snake, "It's so dark in here…" then shooting a beam of lightning to see. Even though he just wanted to see inside, the snake had a hole shot out of it and was cooked.

Ace saw the blue beam coming out of the snake and continued over the distance, not even able to see the end from atop the tree. This really surprised Ace not even able to utter a single word and just had his mouth open the entire time. Then he sees Luffy exiting out of the giant hole waving at him 'What is this kid? He's scarier than he looks'.

"Hey, Ace! wanna eat with me? Its ok if u don't ill eat it all" Luffy called out while taking a bit of the snake.

Then getting down from the tree and walking to Luffy, who is devouring the food. "L-Luffy right… how did you do that?"

"I just wanted to see inside, but I accidentally shot a hole through him"

Ace then gets more frightened "but how did you shoot that blue beam?"

"Ohh that.. I ate a Devil fruit that made me into a lightning human. I ate it a few weeks ago though, so I'm not that used to it yet."

While Ace was listening to him he hadn't realized that Luffy ate the entire snake already. 'well, I think that's enough' readying to eat and sees the only meat left was on his hand.

"….. I guess we should get going. I have someone I want you to meet."

Then arriving at a giant tree with a treehouse on it, was a young blonde boy with a black top hat.

"Ace! who do got there with you?" The young blonde was pointing at Luffy.

"Sabo this guy here is Luffy, why don't we go out for a hunt I'm getting hungry"

When they started hunting for food, Sabo approaches Ace to question about Luffy.

"Hey Ace why are you bringing a little kid like him to our secret base, and bring him hunting"

"I thought he was just a weak little kid at first. Then I witnessed him kill a giant beast in a second…"

Sabo then looks at him in shock at the revelation, but won't believe it yet until he sees it himself. Then they eventually find a giant tiger and gets ready to battle.

While fighting, Ace and Sabo get hit my the tigers palms and was sent flying into a big tree. Now they are just laying down on the ground unable to get up and defend themselves. The tiger then starts to charge towards them, and Luffy then gets in its path to stop it.

"I won't allow you!" shooting another giant electric beam at the tiger.

After Luffy sees the aftermath of the beam "This is hard to control…. I should stop using it for now"

Sabo's mouth dropped to the ground and believed what Ace told him before. Meanwhile, Ace is still really surprised "He did it again…."

They began hunting, training and robbing other pirates together almost every day. Eventually, swearing to one another through a drink of sake to be brothers. This made very happy being with his two brothers again. However, this small time of happiness then disappears for Luffy, as Dogora one of the bandits told them Sabo was killed by a celestial dragon. Luffy knowing full well that the only thing holding him back from avenging his brother is the body he is trapped in as it couldn't handle all the power he has just yet since he already hates the celestial dragon he vowed to take them all down one day.

Luffy began intense training with his new devil fruit and Haki late at night, "I will never lose anyone again" promising to himself out loud.

=== 7 Years Later ===

Luffy, now 14-years-old and Ace has finally left on his journey also wanting to become pirate king, leaving Luffy all alone on the island.

As he left, Luffy then decides to go train. While fighting a giant lion, Luffy sends it flying over the distance. When it landed a scream could be heard, so he quickly gets there and sees a girl lying unconscious.

Luffy then picks her up, bringing her to where he set his campfire. When the girl woke up, she spots Luffy eating the lion and slowly crawls backwards.

"Don't worry I won't hurt you," Luffy said to her while smiling. "I'm also sorry about the lion landing near you though, didn't know someone was there"

She then stands up "Ummmmm… could I ask who you are?" curious of who he is.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy future, Pirate King…. when I leave this place" she was shocked leaving her in thought 'this boy is strong for his age and carries the initials D, I wonder if he knows what it means.'

While thinking she hadn't realized that she was silent for some time, making Luffy speak up. "hey are you okay?" looking at her worriedly.

"I'm alright, it's nothing to worry about" waving both hands in front of her.

"by the way, I still haven't gotten your name," Luffy asked with his mouth stuffed with food.

"Oh! How rude of me, my name is Robin"

Luffy realizing who he saved goes silent before she pats him on the back "Hey is everything alright"

"Nico… Robin…"

Upon hearing this Robin felt threatened that her identity was known, and slowly backs away from him. While walking backwards someone appears behind her and end up bumping into him.

"NICO ROBIN! This will be your grave. People like you shouldn't exist, devils child!" It was a pirate captain that Robin stole from, who then swung his sword at her. However, he froze mid-swing and fell on top of her.

'what was that just now I felt a chill running down my spine. Then this man just fainted after that feeling, what happened to him?'

Then realizing there can only be one other person who could have done it she looks at Luffy, still eating. 'what did this boy just do? Did he save me?' deciding to ask him instead of just keeping herself in thought.

"Was it you who did that? Did you not hear what he said I'm a devils child!" Robin screamed not understanding Luffy's intentions. Luffy on the other hand just tilts his head in confusion.

"I saved you because you were going to die if I didn't"

"that doesn't explain why you would save someone like me" her face filled with confusion.

A thought then came to her head 'Does he plan on killing me himself!" crossing her arms forming arms around Luffy's neck.

Although, Luffy's reaction surprised her, instead of showing fear he begins laughing "Ohhh! I have an extra pair of arms, that's so cool!"

Robin was then just standing there remembering her past. As she grew up Robin was always shunned by everyone, hearing other parents tell their children about her being a monster and to stay away. The devil fruit she possesses always freaked people out, only her mother and Jaguar D. Saul accepted her for who she is. Now standing before her someone looked at her for who she is.

"Aren't you afraid of someone like me…. A monster" she asks looking down on the ground.

"what part of you is a monster, I ate a devil fruit to watch this" then raising his hand, which Robin gave him a confused look. She then notices that it has gotten dark and looks up at the sky to see its cover with dark clouds. The clouds could be seen gathering lightning in the middle, lightning then strikes behind her splitting the giant tree.

"I ate the Goro-Goro no Mi I'm a lightning human" she was then standing there trying to keep composure.

'This boy seems to be very powerful at his age and is the possession of a Logia devil fruit' she thought to herself.

Robin then looks at Luffy to see him happily eating the remains of the tiger that's just almost all bones, while looking at him she felt her heart flutter, this was something she has never felt before making her very confused on this new feeling.

===Few Months Later===

Robin was introduced to Makino, Dadan and the rest of the bandit. She followed Luffy everywhere he went, the two would usually sleep out in the tree fort.

Then one night she spots Luffy waking up and sneaks out of the small fort. 'What could he be doing at a time like this?' deciding to tail him. Then Luffy stops at an area enclosed by giant trees and begins to train.

Robin was in shock, knowing that Luffy was training Haki. 'I can't believe he has access to such powers already. How is that even possible?' she then watches him for an hour before leaving and heading to bed.

The next morning she walks up to him to ask about last night. "Luffy what did you do last night?"

"… nothing I was just sleeping" turning his and sticking out lips out.

"Don't lie to me I followed you yesterday" Robin was a bit angry that he was lying to her.

Robin then held his face close to hers, so that Luffy looks at her directly in the eyes. "I was just training," Luffy tells her trying to look away.

"So when did you learn Haki?"

"I have known how to use it for years now"

'he learned it at such a young age, did someone teach him? Is it possible he possesses Conquerors as well?'

Then she realized how close her face is to his, lets go of Luffy's face and creates space between them. Robin then looks down using her hair to hide her embarrassed bright red face.

The silence between the two made Robin speak up, while still looking down."C-c-could you teach me how to use Haki?"

"Sure!" Luffy agrees thinking it would be useful if she meets a devil fruit user.

They then trained from morning till night. However, as Robin watched him train she was convinced that Luffy's power is comparable to monsters.

One day after returning from their training, they decide to stop by the bandit camp to check up on Dadan and the bandits. Then after having a conversation with them, Luffy goes to take a bath, while Robin waits for him outside the bath. All of the sudden a knock was then heard coming from the door.

"WHO THE HELL IS VISITING AT THIS HOUR!" Dadan screamed and ranted walking to the door, but after opening the door she goes silent. There standing before her stood a beautiful girl with deep blue eyes and jet black hair, and looked about Luffy's age.

'What is a beauty doing here?' Dadan thought to herself but was quickly answered when the girl spoke up.

"Hello, I'm checking to see if my love Luffy~ is here", after saying that Dadan and the other bandits completely froze.

Dadan then thought 'Luffy has been here since he was 7 years old when did he hook in a beauty like her'.

Luffy and Robin then appear to see what the commotion was about and saw Boa Hancock.

"What are you doing he-" before he got to finish what he said, Luffy was jumped by Hancock making him fall and Hancock on a seated position at his crotch.

"Luffy~ I missed you so much." and starts hugging him

"Hancock, what are you doing here and how do you remember me," Luffy questioned

Then a dark aura could be felt being emitted from behind them. It was Robin who was staring at the two with a blank expression. Hancock and Robin then stare each other down, sparks could be seen appearing between them.

Luckily Makino appears between them. "Now-now you two don't fight, how about giving Luffy-kun and Hancock some time to talk." The two then walk out, but Robin didn't look too happy when they left.

A hand was then place on Robin's shoulder, "well looks like you have some competition now Robin." Makino smiles and giggles after telling her.

"…." she just kept silent and her facial expression hadn't changed either. Robin couldn't even be shocked that a Shichibukai had visited them as her jealousy overpowered all other emotion.

With Luffy and Hancock

"Luffy I thought I was having a nightmare and seeing you here makes me very happy." hugging Luffy, making him feel that he was being squeezed to death.

Then beginning to explain her story. "I woke up in Amazon Lily in my 8-year-old body, the day we were supposed to pick you up from Rusukaina. It seems like I still have retained my devil fruit power even though I don't remember eating it at that age. The biggest surprise was when I took a bath I noticed I don't have my slave mark." Hancock then cried, making Luffy hug her back and pat her head.

Hancock now happy at Luffy's action continued. "I then asked my sibling if they remember meeting you, and laughed me off thinking it was just a dream. I wanted to prove them wrong so I rose through the ranks much faster with complete mastery of Haki. Then when I turned 16 I was promoted to Queen and got an 80,000,000 bounty receiving a Shichibukia invitation. I accepted the offer with a condition of bringing me to East Blue, and here I am. When we arrived at the village I went and asked some people If they know where you are and that green-haired woman said she would lead me to you. Seeing you here and knowing you still remember me makes me so happy." When she saw Luffy again her heart was at ease.

During their conversation, they hadn't realized that a pair of ears and eyes appeared at a nearby tree eavesdropping.

'that could possibly explain why Luffy is so powerful, but it seems weird that all of that could just be a mere dream.' Robin thought to herself

As Robin kept watching she witnessed something that shattered her heart, seeing Hancock kiss Luffy.

"Even though all that could have been a dream, My love for you is still the same Luffy~," Hancock told him with a bright red face.

While Luffy looked at her in confusion as to what she just did, her face kept getting brighter and runs back towards the bandit camp.

When the two return, Luffy sees Robin looking down, while Hancock went to Makino having a deep conversation about young Luffy.

Luffy then walks towards Robin "Hey Robin, is there something wrong?" she then grabs his hands and leads him behind the building. While Hancock was too distracted with the Luffy conversation and doesn't even realize they left.

Robin hasn't let go of Luffy's hand just silently stared at each other. Robins eyes then begin to form water, which made Luffy worry.

"Oi Robin, what happened? Why are you crying? You hurt anywhere?" Luffy frantically asking questions to see why she's crying.

"L-luffy d-d-do yo-u like that woman?" Robin asked while trying to calm her tears down.

"Of course I like her she helped me so many times and is really nice to me," He said while smiling.

That statement didn't calm her heart at all, it gave her an idea. "Luffy do you l-like m-me?" she said nervously

"Well, of course I like yo-" unable to finish as Robin catches his lips with hers.

Hancock who couldn't see Luffy after she finished her conversation with Makino went looking for him, shortly after she finds him behind the building with Robin, where she witnessed Robin kiss Luffy.

'WHO THE HELL DOES THIS WOMAN THINK SHE IS! I WILL HAVE HER HEAD!' Hancock thought completely furious and rushes between them to split them up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LUFFY IS MY MAN!" Hancock screamed at Robin angerly.

"He was never yours, to begin with, why don't we ask him who he likes more." Robin responding in a calm tone.

Luffy not knowing whats happening, but can feel their auras begins to slowly walk back. They then grab Luffy's hand not allowing him to escape.

"Luffy who do you like the most?" Hancock and Robin said in unison.

"I like the two of you evenly I can't put one over the other," Luffy tells them truthfully

Even though the two accepted Luffy's answer, deep down they wanted to be chosen by Luffy.

"Why don't we head back and go to sleep, I'm getting really tired." The two then follow Luffy back to the tree fort.

When they arrived Robin was about to enter the bedroom with Luffy but was stopped by Hancock.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going to sleep, what else does it look like?'

"You sleep in the same room as Luffy?" Hancock was shocked.

"I've been sleeping in the same room as him since I arrived here. It makes me feel safe sleeping near him." Robin tells her

"how long… have u been sleeping with him"

"A few months now probably." Hancock's then stare at Robin with hollow eyes.

Then when they entered the bedroom Hancock spots three beds and felt relieved that they don't sleep in the same bed. Hancock then motions towards Luffy's bed, even though there's one still available.

Robin who saw this blooms hands in front of the bed stopping Hancock from entering the bed.

"Your bed is over there," Robin tells her pointing at the vacant bed. Hancock lays down on the bed accepting her defeat for today.

In the last few months, Hancock and Robin fought for Luffy's attention. Whenever he was alone with one of them they tried getting closer to him by, trying to cuddle and kiss him before the other appears. However, all their efforts were in vain as he still claims that his love for them will always be the same.

Hancock and Robin then had a secret meeting at night while Luffy is asleep.

"No matter how hard we try he won't choose one of us…"Robin tells Hancock in a disappointed tone.

"Yeah…" Hancock replies and realizes something.

"If u only let me take a bath with him… His heart would be MINE!"

"AS IF I WOULD LET YOU DO SOMETHING SO OBSCENE!" Robin usually calm screamed back at Hancock.

"Hmph… this is pretty frustrating, have any ideas on what to do." crossing her arms and looks at Robin.

They then stare at each other for a couple of minutes, eventually giving Robin an idea.

'I wonder if she would even agree to something like this?' Robin questioned herself

"I have an idea…. I don't like it very much but this is probably our only chance…"

Hancock was getting very impatient with all the pauses, "would you spit it out already!"

Robin was unsure to continue with this idea, so she was very hesitant on saying it.

"Well we can s-s-sh-are him"

Hancock was shocked and was unable to respond, but when able she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"WHAT! HELL NO! WHY WOULD I DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!"

Robin expecting this reaction said, "Well do you have any better ideas?"

Then leaving her in thought and was about to say something, but looks down admitting defeat. "As much as I hate this idea… I have to agree, let's share him better than not having him at all." Robin then nods at her showing she agrees.

The next morning the two woke up Luffy with food.

"Hey, Luffy we decided on something yesterday," Robin tells him while stuffing his face with food.

"Oh ya! What did you guys agree on?"

"We agreed that we will both be your girlfriend! If that's ok with you?" Hancock was telling him happily.

However, Luffy didn't really understand what that even means. Since they offered him food then it has to be good.

"Yeah, its great with me" making the two even happier.

"But you can't flirt with any other girls now ok!" both told him

Luffy again still not understanding just agrees with it.

A year has passed Luffy is now 15 years old standing at 6'1, Hancock and Robin turned 17, Hancock standing at 6'3 and Robin at 6'2. Although their relationship hasn't really changed by much since they still try to stop each other from doing things. Not wanting the other to have one step above and still not allowed to sleep in the same bed.

Hancock also has to leave soon needing to head back to Amazon lily. Since she has been gone for over a year and they needed their queen back.

The day she was about to leave she just kept on sticking to Luffy not letting him go even through practice. Even having a conversation with Robin about having him after practice.

"Robin please let me spend time with him alone after our practice"

"How will I know you won't use some underhanded trick"

"I promise I won't do such thing" Hancock then gets on her knees to beg

'Hancock would never do something like this. Well even if she does do something I'll keep an eye on her just in case.' Robin was a thought before replying back.

"Fine just for today, ill allow it" sighing at Hancock.

Then that night after practice Hancock drags Luffy to a cliffside near the ocean. That night was that of a full moon reflecting on the ocean creating a very beautiful scene before them.

The two took a seat at the edge of the cliff and Hancock rests her head on Luffy's shoulder.

'What can I do to leave a memory before I leave. Without breaking her promise to Robin.' A thought then came to her mind.

"L-Luffy would it be ok If I can have one selfish r-request before I leave." hesitating to ask him.

"Hmmm what is it?"

"Well can you use me as a lap…p-pillow" she then covered her face in embarrassment.

"What is that? Never heard of it before… IS IT FOOD!" Luffy stood up drooling after thinking it was food

Hancock then grabs his hand making him take a seat. She then guides Luffy's head towards her lap. After a while, Hancock was in complete bliss.

"This feels nice and soft" Luffy then puts his hands on her legs and falls asleep.

While this was going on Robin was watching them the entire time, feeling extremely jealous at the sight before her

'Why did I allow her to have him for a day' she thought while biting her lip.

'I can't believe this is happening, does that mean we're married! Maybe I should stay longer 2 years is just way too long." After 30 minutes Hancock finally snaps out of her trance and wakes Luffy to hed back to the fort.

The next day before Hancock left, she gave Luffy a small transponder snail so he can use it to contact each other. When she was finally gone Robin was so happy that she has Luffy all to herself, that she could jump.

It was then only Luffy and Robin together and now has a chance to ask Luffy whats on her mind. Since Hancock won't be there to interrupt their conversation. Then after practice late that night, while they rested she questions him.

"Luffy I'm really curious about this dream world you and Hancock spoke about. I would like to hear more about what happened in that world, have we met there?"

"Well, the first time we met you worked for… Barbeque works?"

"You mean Baroque Works, they offered me a position there. I was actually headed over there, but I decided to stay here after meeting you," then hugging Luffy

"Ahh.. that reminds me of Vivi, you helped her out when you worked for them"

"Whats your relationship with the princess?" looking at Luffy with dark hollow eyes and squeezing him harder. Even using Haki to show him she's serious.

"Ack! She's adventured with my crew for a while, so we became good friends"

Robin then lessens her death hug knowing Luffy isn't lying.

"I'll leave it at that and hope there's nothing more" now back to her calm manner.

Then Luffy realizes that if Robin is here then who will be helping Vivi out. There's a possibility she could die if Robin isn't there. Luffy then goes on to explain to Robin that Vivi needs her help, asking to accept the baroque works offer.

"Only because you're the one asking me Ill help her out." Robin accepted even though she was very jealous.

"Robin thank you!" giving her a very big smile and hugs her tightly.

There was one more reason as to why she accepted what Luffy told her. The reason being she was saved by Jaguar D. Saul from a marine vice-admiral Kuzan. Since the two were good friends, Kuzan decides to help her escape by bringing her to east blue. Only because people decided to help her that she met Luffy, now she would like to do the same for Vivi. After having a thought of the past she forgot to ask Luffy.

"So how long will I be helping the princess for?"

"Hmmm… I met you a few months after I set sail I think..."

Robin although looking calm was ready to scream. Luckily she was able to hold it in screaming in her head instead. 'Here I thought I was going to have a head start on Hancock. Luffy would have been mine for the next 2 years until she returns, but I also have to be away for a few years.' then hanging her head in disappointment at the thought.

The two then head back to the tree fort, which Luffy falls asleep instantly. Robin, however, couldn't sleep and stood up from her bed and looks at Luffy.

'I will have to leave in a few days. I feel as if my heart will tear apart being away from him" clutching her chest and cried.

Finally able to calm her feelings and stopped crying, instead of heading back to her bed she sneaks into Luffy ' wanting to remember Luffy's warmth slowly squirmed her way closer to him and wrapping her arms around. Although she didn't expect him to do the same, to which he was unconsciously doing.

Three days have past and she has been sneaking into Luffy's bed without him noticing, waking up before him and switching beds. Today will also be the day baroque works escort will pick Robin up and bring her to Alabasta. The two also exchange contacts but Robin has to be secretive about her calls, not wanting to give herself away. Luffy, however, isn't worried about Robin since both he and Hancock taught her how to use Haki.

When Robin left Luffy was alone by himself again, so he decided to double his training wanting to become much stronger.
