It’s been a couple of days since the crew had left Alabast, and the morale was at an all ti low.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked zoro
“““““We’re lonely.””””
“I get it, I miss Vivi too! That’s no reason to behave like that! Look at Rick, he’s not moping around!”
They all looked at their newest mber.
Still in his wheelchair his eyes had a vacant look.
“What are you talking about Zoro? Rick is in a state of shock!” said Chopper.
“What?!” Zoro was dumbfounded, it’s been two days!
“Well, no surprise here. Vivi basically told him that she’s gonna be his wife.” said Nami with a smirk.
“““““WHAT?!””””” The guys had their jaw on the floor and their eyes out of their orbit.
“Nami-swan, what are you talking about?” said Sanji with quivering lips.
“Well Rick said he would only kneel to his wife, and Vivi’s last words to us, were and I quote: “And one day, I’ll make you kneel before !””
“But didn’t she speak to a marine?” said Ussop
“Yeah a special marine she said.” Luffy added
“One who nad and created the Vivid Dream for her.” ended Sanji
“That was Rick, he did that when he was in Alabasta 10 years ago.”
“Are you serious?” asked Sanji bewildered
“Vivi told herself.” Nami was enjoying Sanji’s reaction.
Sanji grabbed Rick by the collar and was shaking him. He was so angry you couldn’t understand what he was mumbling, while Rick was still in shock.
That was not surprising though as Rick has been purposefully gaining affections points with Vivi since way back. It was obvious she would be the first mber of his harem.
(Author’s note: She’s still 16. And nothing is sure yet.)
No one would believe that Author.
(Author’s note: I’m telling you: nothing is set in stone.)
Sure, sure...As if a Vivi’s lover writer would not put her in her harem.
(Author’s note: I’m not a…)
The narrator (aka ) interrupted the author because at that mont, soone unexpectedly ca out of the ship with a yawn.
(Author’s note: Hey! Don’t you dare …)
Everyone froze.
“Seems like we finally left the island, well done.” said the unknown 8th passenger.
(Author’s note: Are you really comparing her with the xenomorph from Alien?)
The crew ca out of it and each one had his own reaction.
“Here to get revenge? No problem I’ll be your adversary.” said Zoro hand on the hilt of one of his swords.
“Of all the people, why are YOU here?” Nami was in panic.
“BEAUTIFUL!!!” Sanji was ecstatic. Another beauty was on the ship.
Ussop had completely lost it
“ ENEMY ATTACK! ENEMY ATTACK! “ he sounded like a broken record.
Chopper tried to hide behind the mast poorly asking “ who’s she?”
“Ah! It’s you! So you’re alive?” simply said Luffy
“Welco on board Miss All-Sundays!” stated Rick who ca out of his state of shock from Vivi’s confession.
Zoro had taken out one of his swords and Nami her clima-tact; it was the weapon Ussop had made for her in Alabasta at her demand.
They were ready to fight.
But before they could do anything a hand appeared on their waist slapping their weapons away.
“Please don’t point those things at , it's dangerous.”
“When did you get on the rry?!” asked Nami
“Probably when we were staying at the palace, the ship was unguarded after all.” said Rick
Miss All-Sundays opened a compartint below the stairs of the rry and took out a folding chair.
“Monkey D. Luffy, you haven’t forgotten what you did to , did you now?”
Sanji was angry and like he did to Rick, grabbed his captain by the collar and shook him.
“Luffy what did you do to such a fine lady?”
“She’s lying! I never did anything to her!”
“Oh but you did! And I want you to take responsibility for it!”
“You make no sense. What do you want to do anyway?”
“It’s simple, I want to join your Crew.”
““““““WHAT?!””””””
Rick laughed.
“It’s seems like it would be fun”
~~~~~~
Let’s rewind the ti a bit, to just after Crocodile’s defeat.
(Author’s note: You know you can just say *flashback*)
The temple where the Poneglyph stood was collapsing.
(Author’s note: So you’re ignoring now…)
Giants rock, that once were part of the ceiling, were falling down on Cobra, Miss All-Sundays and Luffy.
“Why did you lie to Crocodile about what is written onto the Poneglyph?” aske Cobra to Robin.
A Poneglyph is a mysterious stele with history written on it in an ancient language. Scattered across the world it is said that they contain many secrets, including the story of the void century, a century that no books have any records off.
The marine had forbidden the study of Poneglyph and of the ancient language. They could have just destroyed the stele, but to this day and with all their ans they couldn’t even put a dent on those giant stones.
“Oh, you knew that it gave the location of the ancient weapon Pluton?” said Miss All-Sundays.”
“Of course, the story of this country is not carved onto that stone. If that was the case, records of it would be in the royal library. So I guess it only contains the ancient weapon location. I’m asking again, why did you lie to Crocodile.” asked Cobra.
“I couldn’t care less about the ancient weapon.”
“Why did you co here then? Why join Crocodile?”
“I… had hoped that this Poneglyph would be the Rios Poneglyph. Out of all those stones it is the one that contains the true History. I’ve been searching for 20 years. This one was my last hope and turned out he wasn’t what I was looking for. I’m fine with dying here, I’m… just too tired, to go on. All I wanted to know was history but my dream had the world itself as an enemy.”
“The world… Wait, you’re talking about the untold history from 900 years ago?!”
He wanted to ask more questions but he felt himself being picked up. Soon Miss All-Sundays was picked up as well.
“Alright, let’s head up” said Luffy carrying both of them.
“Wait! I’ve no purpose left in life! Just leave here.” she yelled.
Luffy glanced at her and just said:
” Why the hell should I listen to you?”
He started walking towards the exit.
On the way, the boulders stopped falling in mid-air.
From the front Luffy heard Rick’s voice.
“Hurry!”
~~~~~~
“You forced to live when I didn’t want to. I have no place to go nor return to, so let stay on this ship.” said Miss All-Sundays after retelling what Luffy did to her.
“That sucks! Guess there is no other choice then, you can stay. Though it was Rick that got you out and saved your life. He should be the one to take responsibility.”
““““LUFFY!!!”””
“That’s not nice to throw a friend under the ship!” exclaid Rick.
“Don’t worry guys, she’s not a bad guy” said the strawhats captain.
Miss All-Sundays turned to Rick
“Is right, you should take responsibility too.”
He was stunned.
‘Did I get owned? That’s not how it was supposed to happen!’
“I’ll… do my best” he answered sheepishly.
Ussop brought out another chair and a table and started interrogating her.
Rick joined him.
“I’m the vice-captain, it’s my duty!”
“What is your real na?” was Ussop’s first question.
“Nico Robin”.
“Tell us about yourself, please.” asked Rick.
“I beca an archeologist when I was 8.”
“Archeologist?” was Ussop’s second question.
“Sort of my family trade!” answered Robin.
“That’s amazing!” said Rick with stars in his eyes.
‘Hehehe. Forget about dogs, acting skills level 5 is a man's best friend! You'll soon be mine Robin. ALL MINE!’
Robin saw the twinkles in his eyes.
“Interested in history?” she asked him.
“YES! I.. I an yes, I am.”
“Maybe we could talk about it.”
“I’d really like that.”
Ussop was watching the two interacting with squinted eyes.
‘What’s going on, Rick is so assertive and composed normally.’
He coughed.
*ahem*
“Please continue.”
“Oh, sorry. For twenty years I’ve had to live hiding from the marines. Since a child can’t sail alone, I had to enter many villains organizations. Thanks to that I learned to move behind the scenes quite efficiently.”
“You sound pretty confident, what’s your speciality?” asked Ussop
Robin tilted her head on the side and with the brightest smile Rick has ever seen said:
“Assassination
