We left Foxy's ship after a while and set off for the next island. I handed out the remaining charms and their reactions were amazing;

Luffy:

"Ooh! Meat! Thanks, (Y/N)!" [Luffy]

"YOU DON'T EAT IT! It's a tracking device for when someone gets lost!" [(Y/N)]

"Ah! Make sure to give Zoro one! Thanks, (Y/N)!" [Luffy]

Nami:

"Ooh! A tangerine! You know me so well (N/N)! I'll make sure to bring it with me everywhere! Oh, and make one for Zoro, just in case!"

"(N-N/N)?" I asked, scratching my cheek.

"Are you ok with that as a nickname?" She asked, stuffing the charm in her pocket.

"Haha, N-no I don't mind!" My cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Ok, (N/N)!"

Sanji:

"AH! A GIFT FROM (Y/N)-CHWAN! I'LL CHERISH IT FOREVER MADEMOISELLE!!" [Sanji]

"Oh, and make sure to give one to that damn marimo, he gets lost the most." [Sanji]

Robin

"This is so sweet (Y/N). I'll keep it with me. Make sure to give Mr. Swordsman one as well."

Well, only about 30 minutes later, we found an uninhabited island.

I stayed with Sanji while the rest went for ingredients. I made twigs for him to use for the fire and we just waited for the others.

"Ah, (Y/N)-chan, you're devil fruit is seriously useful! You could be an excellent shipwright!" He said as he put the last twig in.

I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sanji? Can I admit something to you? Something that you can't tell the others?"

His expression turned serious as he nodded. I fiddled in my seat a little before looking at the ground.

"Well, While we were at that marine base, I was held in Commander Jonathan's office for interrogation. I had a moment to snoop and found a file with my name on it..."

Sanji was all ears now, paying full attention with all seriousness.

I looked up at him, "I haven't known much about my childhood. Only the things that Vivi's father told me. But when I read the file, it said my father was a part of Rogers crew..."

Sanji's eyes widened, "As in, Gol D. Rogers?"

I nodded, "and my mother was a high-ranking woman in the world, but I've never heard of the rank. Apparently, she was rude, but I now know why my parents left me, and it's a little comforting, but hurtful. 

My mother left me because the despised my father and I reminded her of him, and my dad left to be a pirate. I'm just... a little hurt that they didn't think about me..."

I started to tear up a little, and Sanji put his arm around me, "(Y/N)-chan, from what I know, your mother left because of your father and your father left for his dream. Your Father thought about you, I'm sure, and that's probably why you ended up with Vivi and the king."

I thought about it, then nodded, "Yeah the king said he knew my dad well..."

Sanji held me close and continued, "Y'know, your father's story is similar to Usopp's father."

I turned to him, wide-eyed, "Really?!"

He smiled at how shocked I was, "Yeah, His father left to be on Red Haired Shanks' crew."

"That's so cool..."

"It's also cool that your father was on Roger's ship. Take pride in what your father did. He must've been excellent to be on Roger's crew."

"Thanks, Sanji."

"Don't question it, (Y/N)-chan."

"Oi!" Luffy's voice pulled me from my conversation with Sanji. I just realized how close I was to Sanji and pushed away, chuckling nervously with a tint of pink on my face

"Haha! L-let's eat, huh?!" I was really flustered, but Sanji didn't understand.

~~~

"Cheers!"

After Sanji made the food, we all started to dig in. Sanji made kabobs and they were delicious!

I thought about telling Robin what I found since she almost asked on Skypiea, but I decided to tell her when we were alone.

Suddenly, a weird crab-looking machine came from the ocean.

"Don't tell me it's them again." [Sanji]

"They never learn, do they?" [Usopp]

"Are they not tired yet?" [(Y/N)]

"I wish they'd stop." [Nami]

Suddenly, Luffy rushed forward ad grabbed it by the leg.

"Looks yummy!" he called, practically drooling at the fake crab.

"Luffy, I bet you can't throw it in the sea!" I called to him, "If you can, I'll give you the rest of my food!"

Before I knew it, the crab was long gone and Luffy was in front of me, begging for the last of my food. I gave it to him and he happily ate.

~~~

After our little barbeque, we went to look for more foodstuffs to bring to the ship before the next island.

I love landing on islands like this. No big enemies or dangerous situations. The only thing out of the ordinary was the Foxy Pirates showing up and this random line indented in the dirt. It was on the path we walked, so it must have been man-made.

Probably another pirate, since this island is uninhabited, I hope...

Robin seemed a little distressed about the line so I decided to get her mind off of it.

"Robin! Guess what?"

"Hm? What is it, strategist?"

"I found out a little about my past while I was in Jonathan's office..." I whispered to her. I didn't want to cause a big ruckus with the crew, and I only really wanted Robin to know, but Sanji won't tell, he's better than that.

"Oh?" She started slowing down, backing away a little from the crew.

I did the same, "Well, I remember you being curious in Skypiea, so I thought I'd tell you."

"Please, continue."

"Well," I took a deep breath, "You asked about my last name... I found out it's (L/N)."

I saw her eyes widen, but she let me continue, "My father is Waylen (L/N). He was the Navigator and Assistant Shipwright for the Roger pirates. He knew some people but he was closest to someone named Rayleigh and the main shipwright, Tom."

She seemed shocked, but gestured for me to keep going, "There wasn't much information about my mother. They think she's someone high up in the world, but that doesn't seem likely."

"Do you remember her rank?" Robin asked quietly.

"Oh yeah, the rank was wo-"

"Hey, we're almost through the jungle!" Luffy's voice once again pulled me from my conversation and I whispered to Robin, "I'll let you know later."

She smiled as we exited the jungle. There was nothing but open grass and a big rock.

"Hey, Robin..."

"Yes, (Y/N)?"

"Is it just me or is that a head behind the rock..."

She turned and her face went pale. 

Chopper ran towards it but was pushed back. I ran towards Luffy and Chopper as well to see what was wrong. When I saw what, or who was standing behind the rock, I was shocked as well.

It was a man. In a marine uniform. He was sleeping while standing up.

"What the hell..." I asked Luffy next to me, "He's a marine."

The man removed the face covering and I saw who he was. I got scared as the others came around us.

" A raccoon dog?" That was the first thing the man said. I recognized him as an admiral. One that we couldn't beat. All eight of us couldn't beat him with all our strength combined.

I took a few steps back, closer to Robin, who was more scared than I was. 

When Robin is scared, you know it's trouble.

"What's with you guys?" The tall man asked.

"What's with you?!" Luffy barked back.

Robin fell down, and I went to her side, "Robin! Are you ok?! What's wrong?!"

She was holding eyes with the Admiral. Her breath was shaky and she was trembling. I was trying to comfort her but it wasn't working.

"Oh-ho-ho? Now, now, don't be so bloodthirsty guys. It's not like I'm here on orders."

"So you are who I thought you were," I said, holding Robin close.

"Who is he, (Y/N)?!" Usopp asked frantically.

"He's a marine admiral. Admiral Aokiji."

They all seemed shocked and turned to him. He looked from Robin to me.

"You look familiar..." he said in a tired voice.

"No, I don't. You're still dreaming! Haha...ha..." I tried to play it off, but his stare was cold and intense.

He turned to Robin, "Oh, my, my you've turned out to be a good-looking woman... Nico Robin..."

"To think that he has Robin this shaken up..." Nami commented, nervousness laced in her words.

Everyone, except Robin, was on their guard. I was holding Robin close in a protective way. Even Usopp had his slingshot ready.

Aokiji turned to Nami, "Oh, my, my." He was towing over her.

"Wh-What?"

"Here's another sexy lady with super big bazongas! Are you free tonight?"

Oh my god...

"What's the big idea, you tall, lanky jerk!" Sanji yelled at Aokiji.

"Hang on a second guys, did you hear what I said? I said I just took a stroll, didn't I? Don't get so worked up."

"No matter how many sexy women you have on your crew, "He looked over all three girls and I shuddered, "You guys are... whatchamacallit... you know..."

I facepalmed.

"I forgot. Oh, well."

"YOU DON'T MAKE MUCH SENSE!" Our sniper and chef yelled.

"Hey, Robin? Aren't you mistaking him for someone else?"

Robin gripped my sleeve tightly.

"Hey, hey... Don't judge others by their appearance." He suddenly laid down and decided to relax.

"Robin... are you ok?" I asked her.

She looked up at me with nervous eyes before standing up, me under her arm for balance and protection.

"I came to check the whereabouts of Nico Robin, who disappeared after the Alabasta incident, that's all."

"How did he know we would land here?" I muttered under my breath, which Robin heard.

"Just as I thought, she's been with you guys I'm going to at least repost this to headquarters though. With another wanted person, your total bounty has changed." Aokiji said.

"100 million..." He pointed at Luffy,

"Plus 60 million..." He pointed at Zoro,

"Plus 20 million..." He pointed at... me?!

"Plus 79 million equals..." He pointed at Robin, "I don't know exactly, but I'm sure it's not too shabby."

"GUM-GUM..." Suddenly, Luffy sent an attack on Aokiji. I held Robin tighter as Luffy tried to attack the admiral.

"Let me go, what're you guys doing?!" Luffy barked at Sanji and Usopp, who was holding him back.

"It's pointless to fight!" Sanji barked.

"He's a high-ranking marine!" Usopp added.

"So what?! Then are you saying we're gonna hand over Robin without a fight?!" Luffy snapped in response.

"I'm saying I'm not going to do anything, aren't I?" Aokiji's sweat dropped.

"Luffy really loves having you on the crew. Guess he won't let you leave. Ha..." I tried to lighten the mood with Robin but she just watched Aokiji and Luffy.

~~~

After Aokiji helped those stranded passengers and showed us the extent of his power, we were all scared now. The rest of our crew was waving off the passengers as I sat with Zoro on the shore.

"Zoro."

"Yeah."

"This guy is going to get orders to capture us, It's obvious."

"Yeah."

"Be on your guard. My wood can probably hold off his ice for a second or two."

"Alright."

I decided to walk toward Robin as they were coming back. She was uneasy and I wanted to comfort her. Our crew almost forgot about the admiral as they were ice skating on the path he made.

I turned around and met eyes with Aokiji. I think he was watching Robin, but it almost looked like he was looking between her and me... but I only have 20 million, there's no way he knows much about me.

Unless...

We were all walking back in his direction. Robin was in the back with me, but I still felt his gaze, and Robin never left his figure.

"What?" Luffy snapped at Aokiji. I guess he didn't expect him to stay.

"How should I put it... You're just like your Gramps, Monkey D. Luffy... however," He turned his gaze to me, "You're nothing like your mother, (Y/N) (L/N)."

"My mother?" I questioned. I saw Sanji tense up a bit as he watched me and the admiral have a stare-off.

"Wh-What?" Luffy responded.

"You're free-spirited, or should I say, you're hard to figure out." Aokiji turned to Luffy.

'I'll say...'

Luffy got more scared than I've ever seen him, "G-Gramps..."

"What's the matter Luffy? You're drenched in sweat?" Usopp asked, clueless.

"Well... N-N-Nothing. Um... well..."

"You're gramps really helped me out a while back. The reason I came here was to see Nico Robin, (Y/N) (L/N), and you...

... On second thought, you should die now, huh?"

We all tensed under his gaze. He said he wouldn't kill us, though I expected this.

I stepped closer to Robin, putting less distance between us if need be.

"The government is still taking you guys lightly, but if I delve into history, I can tell your group has a backbone. Although your group is small, since it's gathering shrew members, It'll probably become a problem later on. The circumstances that initially led you to search orders... All the actions you took up until now... The speed of your group's progress..."

He glanced up, "I've been dealing with outlaws for a long time, but it worries me to think how you'll turn out."

Usopp put his hands up, "Th-That's too sudden! You said earlier you just came to check things out!"

"The reason I regard you guys as dangerous is... you, Nico Robin."

I turned to her.

"So you're after Robin after all! I'm gonna beat the crap out of you!" Luffy growled.

"Her bounty amount isn't just an indication of her strength. It also indicates the level of danger she shows to the government. That's why you got a 79-million-Berry bounty on your head at the age of 8. I'm impressed that you survived as a child. You betrayed people and ran away. You gained people's favor and used them."

His glare got more intense, if that's even possible, "You've survived in the underworld by being quick to switch sides. So this is the group you chose as your next hideout, huh?"

Robin's breath got caught in her throat.

Sanji asked what grudge Aokiji has against Robin, but Aokiji said he doesn't have one.

"If we are somehow connected... it's that I let her get away once, that's about it. It was a long time ago"

I thought back to when I was reading, still a part of Baroque works. There were some forbidden journals in Crocodile's office, and I snuck a few to read.

They were old and illegal to own, but one spoke of an island called Ohara, and mentioned one survivor. It talked about the damage of a buster call. A little girl. She disappeared off the map ever since.

I found it interesting but was pulled from my thoughts when someone spoke.

"You guys will eventually realize it, too. In the not-so-distant future, you'll regret that you took in a troublesome woman."

"Like hell..." I muttered under my breath, which Robin hard once again.

"As proof," He started to stand up, "The organizations Nico Robin had something to do with up until today all got annihilated... except for her."

I got on my guard.

"I wonder why... Nico Robin?"

"Stop it you jerk! Her past doesn't matter!" Luffy barked.

"He's right! If you're worried about others' pasts, you can't be friends with ruffians like a pirate hunter or a former thief girl!" Usopp called, causing him to get a hit from Nami.

"What's more important is the present, rather than the past," Sanji added.

"Robin is our precious friend now! Don't badmouth our friend!" Chopper yelled.

"I see... you really did a good job befriending this lot."

Robin moved her hands into the position when she uses her devil fruit, "Just get to the point already! If you want to capture me, go ahead and do it!" She yelled, "Treinta Fleurs!"

Tons of hands appeared around Aokiji and held him tightly.

"ROBIN STOP!" Usopp panicked.

"Oh, my, my... Maybe I talked too much. How disappointing. I had too high an opinion for you, thinking you were a little smarter than that."

"Clutch!"

Aokiji bent backward and the next part happened in a blur. He split in two and turned to ice. Then he reappeared like a Zombie from the ice. He's a Logia. Usopp and Chopper were screaming and everyone was on their guard.

Then Aokiji made an Ice saber, using grass and his breath. He swung for Robin and before I could make a wall to stop it, our swordsman blocked the attack.

Then our chef kicked the saber away.

Before Luffy could get a hit in, Aokiji grabbed Zoro's arm and Sanji's leg before turning it to ice, then freezing Luffy's arm when it made contact with his stomach.

The monster trio was on the ground behind Robin and me, hugging at their frozen limbs.

"You've come across some good friends, "Aokiji smirked, But you're still you, Nico Robin!"

"No...! I am no longer..."

Before I knew what happened, Aokiji outstretched his arms to Robin and my body moved on its own. I heard Luffy and others calling for her, but it was all muffled. My only thought was saving Robin.

I jumped in front of her, arms and legs spread as to block her from any attacks.

Then everything got cold and before everything went black, I heard a tired voice say...

"How interesting..."

(Ahaha secretly crying inside.

I've got a line I've been waiting to use for (Y/N) and I want it to be a sort of catchphrase for tough (Y/N).

Since she is usually a coward, she will use it in battle.

 Water Seven will be perfect, and you guys will know it when you see it XD)
