Back to Water Seven
Chapter 2

"Fancy seeing you here, Franky."

Nico Robin smiled at the rather lovely prospect of spending alone time with the crew's perverted shipwright. Or was it transforming now? Anyway, he was her favorite person to bug time after time, and a great opportunity presented itself before her. She found it refreshing that a person older than her would have such innocence that her captain exudes, although not too much like Brook since he always seemed to know more than what he claimed.

Franky was wearing his usual attire, a red jacket with yellow coconut tree silhouettes dotting the front and back. His distracting - no, ubiquitous speedo was also there. She distinctly remembered Franky boasting about it having the capacity to survive all kinds of danger. Her eyes traveled over his hair, or what used to be there. He said it was a sign of change, that he had done it for the better, but so far she still hadn't understood what change it brought, what purpose it served. She didn't doubt her nakama though, even if she didn't really understand a man's romance.

The waitress who served Franky earlier returned to the table and asked Robin what she would like. She was a little different now, her voice had a hint of confidence in it. Franky was smiling at the girl's direction, just what did he ..?

"Ground coffee please. Make it black."

Franky didn't understand what made Robin so attracted over horrifying things. Things like calling a zombie dog with three heads cute, or joking that the sea would turn red if that super huge ship fell on Fishman Island. But maybe it was that crucial element, that something making her different from all the others. Maybe, just maybe, it was that weirdness that attracted him to her in the first place.

"So, Nico Robin," started Franky, attempting conversation. "What brings you here to my adopted hometown of Water Seven?"

Robin's sapphire-like eyes seemed to drill deep into Franky's own. He could only guess what was going on in the archaeologist's mind at that moment. She suddenly smiled in an enigmatic way.

"I just wanted to go back here, this place is rich in history," Robin replied, her face trying and failing to lie. "I mean, so many things happened here -"

Franky held a hand up. This wouldn't be the first time he read her feelings, and this certainly wouldn't be the last. The hand came from inside the larger hand though. Given the brevity of the situation, Robin didn't know whether to continue on with the apathy, to reveal her surprise, or to laugh at the ridiculousness of it.

"First of all, this place isn't rich in history, it's just a city full of water and idiot shipbuilders. Second, your smile isn't reaching your eyes, it's creepy. Lastly, it's not super lying to me, Nico Robin. I'm not bragging, but I can read you like a book."

Franky almost melted when Robin's face suddenly softened up. The sunset was reflected on her face, giving her an aura of indescribable sadness with a dash of relief. When Robin smiled, Franky was ready to propose right then and there.

"I suppose there's no use hiding things from you. Well, I sought company since it was boring on the ship. Yes Franky, I am bored sometimes," Robin added when the cyborg showed a look of incredulity.

"Well then," Franky replied, a little hesitation on his part. "If you ever feel bored the next time we're on the ship, I'll gladly entertain you ... if that's what you want, I mean ... man, this isn't super of me," he lamely finished, scratching his head and accidentally getting his hair out, eliciting statements of shock from the other customers.

Robin smiled knowingly. Was this his way of asking him out? I guess I'll take him up on his offer. He was her favorite after all.

"Arara. Nico Robin, what are you doing here?"

Her eyes widened in shock. That familiar voice, it couldn't be ..?!

Franky craned his neck at the direction of the doorway. He saw there, standing on the Welcome mat, the former member of the greatest fighting force the Marines had, the Blue Pheasant.

"Aokiji," whispered Robin, her eyes widening and her hands shaking.

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone blah blah.
A/N: There Lili, Aokiji is out! xd

Read and review! Oh, here's btw!

You certainly got me interested.

A bit too much romance and I am not particulary fond of love-triangles xD but I got to admit that I was happy for Franky and Robin SUUPER hitting it off.

I'd like to hear more of New World. What exactly Straw Hats encounter. Did they crashed the Tea Party? What are other Super Novas doing? What happened to Coby and Helmeppo? What was Robin doing with Dragon and why did Dragon wanted to meet her so much? Updated status on current, new and the former Shicibukai. Oh, and of course how did their battle with Big Mom end and what happened after.

If you could somehow include all that in your next chapters I would be very happy.

Hmm, you'll like the next chapters I bet xd But I'll try to include some NW references on it.

Very good, i´m rooting for franky x robin though.
Of course you would. Lol.

That was surprising! I think Robin is coming off too strong. I would never imagine Robin giving herself to a man that easily, though some parts I really liked, they're small dettails:

Ordering Coffee, black.
Describing her apathetic expression but confronted with the urge to laugh from the ridiculousness of the situation.
I loved her soften expression and the sunset glow.
The description of Robin's eyes as Sapphires.

And her reaction to Aokiji's entrance was great too, shaking hands and wide eyes.
