Poem about Deeply

To love someone deeply gives you strength.

Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage…by Myriah.

Disclaimer: Oda owns One Piece, and onward to the new chapter.

After bidding farewell to Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe the Straw-Hat Pirates are on their way to Water 7 and from what Kororo said it is a paradise of Shipwrights, and what luck the log pose is pointing to the direction to Water 7 where they can fix Merry and recruit a Shipwright.

The plan is simple and perfect for all of them as they feel their spirits renewed that they're getting a shipwright crazy enough to be part of the Straw-Hat Pirate and Merry will not only get repaired but all of the ship members are thinking that Merry deserve an instant power boost, like more cannons, making her sail go fast, and adding more rooms. The list is endless.

While they're chatting animatedly they failed to notice their Captain is not among them but she is at the figurehead with a faraway look on her face. Ever since what Chimney said back then had sent her mind reeling with feelings stronger than ever.

Zoro and Sanji.

Both men who she cares about them deeply as her crewmates but then the feeling of crewmates has to turn into a crush and now it turns into something else that she can't quite put it into words.

She remembered watching couples walking hand in hand with a wide dreamy look on each other and always smiling like nothing in the world matters. She was so little and never quite understands this and when she doesn't understand this she would frown and stick her tongue out at the couple before she runs off. Would she do these things with Sanji or with Zoro?

Suddenly, she gasped when she thought of that. She can't possibly think of doing something like that but why the thought of it made her feel so warm inside.

'No!' To her, they are her crewmate. She likes them just like she likes Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Robin…Then her chest started to hurt that she touched where her heart is.

'This is so confusing.' She whined and whimpered because her heart and mind are having a battle against each other on everything that happened. She had a goal in her life that is to become the Queen of the Pirates and find the One Piece nothing more and nothing else. But now, she can't get her mind off of them, they stuck to her like glue.

If only there's someone who can help her with her situation, someone who can tell her the feeling's she's having and describe it to her what it is.

"Hello, Captain-Chan, is everything alright?" And lo and behold, her answer has just arrived right next to her.

If anyone can provide the answer is Robin for she is so smart and always know what to say. Luffy smiled and she came down from the figurehead and she is facing Robin with her sunshine smile of hers.

"Robin you are a super smart person that you can answer to any questions!" The statement made robin giggle but smiled softly as she thinks that Luffy is like an innocent child filled with curiosity and wonderment to the world around them. Luffy is like that and she felt like a mother adoring her child no matter what.

"If you have a question, Luffy. I will answer it the best way I can." She replied to her honestly. Luffy nodded as she letting out a sigh. It's now or never.

"Well, it's like this. My body would act funny and it goes shaking like I'm in a cold island but my face gets really hot like I'm on summer island. Then, I get really tingly when I get…stirrings." What an odd word to use.

"Stirrings?" Robin blinked.

"Yes, stirrings." She said while waving her hands because she is unsure how to refer it. But Robin is quick to guess.

"Do you mean feelings?"

"What?! Not feelings. Stirrings. There's a big difference." She tries to cover it up but Robin can see right through her as if she's an opened book. Luffy started to fidget as Robin keeps staring at her, waiting for her to give in until she did.

"Okay, fine. Feelings, happy?" Luffy pouted as Robin giggled.

"There's nothing to be ashamed off, Luffy. It's a very natural thing." Robin's smile is fond and Luffy's pout grew more but Robin can clearly see there is confusion in her eyes.

Robin is thinking. Has no one has ever told Luffy about feelings for men? Or, perhaps, Luffy didn't think it's important since she has her goal set in becoming the Pirate Queen. Maybe, it's time for little Luffy to learn what being in love truly means and, hopefully, she would finally understand the real meaning behind it…Hopefully.

Robin cleared her throat and it got Luffy to look at her and Robin spoke to her.

"Luffy, I know, for a fact, how much these two men mean so much to you. They become an important aspect of your life, and it stirs up new and unfamiliar feelings for you and you know something, it's like exploring on a new adventure." That's got Luffy's attention as her eyes become wide as she listened to Robin's explanation.

"Trust me when I say this, it'll be the most stimulating thing you've ever felt. Because you will get to experience this adventure with them every day and every night. Awake and in dreams. It is an eternal adventure." Luffy's doe eyes become much bigger as she absorbed the explanation like a sponge. It clears away all the confusion from her head as it becomes so clear to her. This is, probably, the bestest news she ever heard, and then her grin slowly grew shinning her face like bright sun.

"Thanks, Robin. You're the best." Then, Luffy runs off to the direction of her room, undoubtedly, plotting on how to use this newfound information to get what she wanted.

Robin giggled. Zoro and Sanji have no clue what's in store for them after she had condemned to Luffy's doom.

She has no doubt in her mind that Luffy will drive these poor unfortunate souls into sanity.

It'll be fun to watch.

I'm sorry, it took so long to write and it's very short. But I thought that Luffy needs some advice from Robin and Robin had provided…in a very evil way. Just you wait, the next chapter will be fun. Tune in on One Piece: Queen's Heart.
