A walk and despair

The next days passed the same as the previous ones, the two got used to sleeping in the same bed. They were no longer ashamed and simply slept holding each other.

Despite all this, Robin was already thinking how he should say goodbye to Kaito. As for Kaito, he was also thinking about how to help Robin before separating from her. Unlike Robin, who could maintain his mood without expressing it, Kaito looked tired and discouraged.

The situation was stressing Kaito, he tried to act naturally, but Robin realized Kaito's discouragement. She thought it was due to her refusal to leave the hotel and walk next to Kaito. After thinking about it for a long time Robin talked to Kaito.

Robin - Kaito -

Kaito - yes -

Robin - you want to go out on the street tomorrow -

Kaito - ... what? -

Robin - I was wondering if ... -

Kaito - Excuse me, if I heard you, but I was surprised by your offer, how did you change your mind? -

Robin - well, I got tired of being in the room all day and I wanted to go out -

Kaito - oh, okay then tomorrow we'll go for a walk in the city -

Robin saw how Kaito was encouraged, she was relieved to see him better. She did not like to see him sad.

Kaito, despite not knowing Robin's thoughts, was encouraged because he would have an appointment with Robin, although he did not dare to say it in front of Robin.

When the night fell, the two of them, as always, lay down in the same bed and slept holding each other.

The next day, just like the previous days, Kaito went to buy breakfast, but Robin proposed breakfast at a restaurant. Kaito agreed and together they left the hotel and looked for a suitable place to have breakfast. After searching the streets they found a restaurant near the town square. They sat down and called the waitress, after ordering their food. The two began talking about what they would do during the day.

A few minutes later the waitress returned with her food. The two began to eat. For Kaito there was a sandwich with a coffee. Despite being still young, Kaito liked his taste very much, it was one of the few customs that I keep from his old life. Robin on the other hand had an orange juice with a piece of strawberry cake. In the end, Robin had become fond of sweet things, sometimes Kaito bothered her by telling her that she would get fat if she only ate sweets.

After breakfast, they paid the bill and left the restaurant. After that, the two paired the streets of the city. During his walk, Kaito dragged Robin to the clothing stores to make Robin try on some clothes.

Robin blushed every time she showed her appearance to Kaito with different clothes, it did not help that Kaito always told him she looked beautiful. In the end they bought some clothes, Robin did not want Kaito to spend that amount of money, but Kaito convinced her that they were gifts for her as her friend.

They continued walking through the city, in a moment Kaito took her hand. Robin blushed, but did nothing to break free of his grip. Kaito had no hidden intentions, he simply took her hand because he saw some marines patrolling. Luckily for both of them, Robin was wearing a hat that covered his face and for Kaito, the Marines were from the island and not from the ships where he had come.

When they got away from the marines, Kaito was about to let go of Robin's hand, but he felt her squeeze his hand. Kaito finally realized his actions and also blushed. In the end they did not let go of their hands and continued walking.

At noon, they found a restaurant to eat. When they asked for desserts, Kaito again made fun of Robin when she asked for a sweet dessert.

After lunch, they continued their walk. Despite Robin's initial concerns. She just enjoyed the experience. Robin had not felt so happy.

When the night came they decided to return, when they were walking down an alley. Kaito suddenly found a familiar feeling. Kaito stopped and Robin did the same since they were holding hands.

Robin - what happens Kaito? -

Kaito - I feel someone watching us, and I have a familiar feeling -

Robin was shocked to hear Kaito's words. She thought it would be the men who always looked for her.

Kaito - I think I'm wrong, I've stopped feeling that feeling ... it's better that we leave ...! -

Kaito did not finish the sentence when he realized that someone was launched in the direction of Robin. Kaito discovered why the presence of before was familiar.

Kaito immediately used the soru and interposed between the subject and Robin. Kaito joined all his forces and used the tekkai along with busoshoku haki to block the blow that was going in the direction of Robin.

BOOOOOMMM !!!!

Kaito was thrown against the wall when receiving the impact of the blow. Robin was scared to see how Kaito received the blow that was going towards her. Quickly she ran to Kaito and helped him up.

Robin - Kaito! you're good! -

Kaito - ah ah, do not worry Robin, you restrained yourself with the blow when I interposed, ah ah ah, it's not like that ojichan -

Sengoku - ... -

Robin - ojichan? -

Robin was surprised by how Kaito called the man who attacked them, finally Robin noticed the man. Seeing the man standing in front of the two. Robin shivered and fell backwards to the ground.

Robin - ... what ... what ... does the admiral of the fleet do here ?! -

Robin had recognized the person who had tried to hit her.

Kaito - forgive me Robin, I will explain it to you later, for the moment, get behind me -

Robin did not know what to think, but she listened to Kaito.

Sengoku - what do you think you're doing Kaito -

Kaito - I would ask you the same ojichan, do not you think it is bad to attack a woman -

Sengoku - leave the nonsense aside and tell me what you think you're doing -

Kaito - I was just walking with my friend -

Sengoku - friend? -

Kaito - yes -

Sengoku - Kaito you know who she is, is not it? -

Kaito - yes, she is Nico Robin the only survivor of Ohara -

Robin was shocked after listening to Kaito, her mind no longer knew what to think.

Sengoku - if you know then ... -

Kaito - I have not finished, she is Nico Robin the only survivor of Ohara and my friend !!! -

Sengoku - ... -

Robin - ... -

Sengoku - Kaito you know very well the consequences of your words? -

Kaito - yes -

Sengoku - ... Kaito, I'll give you a chance, get away from her and do not intervene -

Sengoku moved forward with the intention of capturing Robin. But Kaito moved again and stood between them.

Sengoku - ... -

Kaito - I will not let you take her ojichan -

Sengoku - Kaito, move away, she is a criminal who has to be executed -

Kaito - criminal you say, I believe that the criminals are the ones who ordered the destruction of Ohara! -

Sengoku - Kaito -

Kaito - Ojichan, do you also think that she is a criminal? Simply for being from that island? -

Sengoku - you do not understand, Kaito -

Kaito - if I understand, since I was a little girl, Robin has been persecuted and sought everywhere. You do not see that she's just a normal girl! -

Sengoku - ... -

Kaito - maybe some people consider it dangerous, but I do not think so. Tell me ojichan, you would lock me in a prison if I were against what these people think! -

Sengoku - ... -

Kaito - you would let them torture me or let them execute me! -

Sengoku - ... -

Kaito - so, please, ojichan, help me help Robin -

Kaito dropped to his knees and put his forehead on the floor.

Sengoku -! -

Sengoku knew Kaito very well. Kaito was a person with pride, but not being arrogant. Kaito was firm with his ideals and would not change his mind easily and Sengoku also knew that Kaito's ideal of justice was the same as that of his friend Garp. For all that, Sengoku knew that Kaito would never kneel before anyone. But seeing him in that position knew that Kaito would not give up to help Robin. Sengoku understood how important Robin was to Kaito.

Kaito - please, Ojichan, I beg you! -

Kaito continued kneeling. Robin was still confused by the situation. But when Robin saw how Kaito knelt in front of the admiral of the fleet, she could not help and started crying. She had never met someone who would do the same as Kaito did for her.

Sengoku watched Kaito still on the ground. His mind kept thinking about what to do. Sengoku knew that if he captured Robin, Kaito could do something crazy. On the other hand, Sengoku was the one who ordered the ships to destroy Ohara. But Kaito, during his conversation said that the criminals were the people who gave the order, these were the World Government. At that moment Sengoku knew that Kaito knew everything. But even so Kaito did not blame his grandfather for the massacre of innocents that occurred in Ohara.

Sengoku clenched his fists hard.

Sengoku - Kaito, if you are willing to promise me something, I will accept your request -

Kaito raised his head.

Kaito - really? -

Sengoku nodded.

Kaito - if so, I will accept any request -

Sengoku - okay you said it. From now on you will swear to serve the navy with your life if necessary! -

Kaito - yes! -

Sengoku - you swear to end the wickedness of this world! -

Kaito - yes -

Sengoku - and finally, and this also includes you Nico Robin -

Robin was startled to hear her name, but she nodded.

Sengoku - well, you swear that you will never mention what happened to anyone today! -

Kaito / Robin - yes! -

Sengoku - well, Kaito comes back with her and then they come to the ship -

Kaito - yes, ojichan -

Sengoku watched as Kaito helped Robin get up and they ran out of the alley.

Sengoku - ahhh, you can leave Kuzan -

Kuzan - sure it's okay to let them go, Sengoku-san -

Sengoku - I could not do anything else, you know very well that Kaito can be very stubborn and would not let him capture Nico Robin, besides you are not the one to tell me this, it was you who let out Nico Robin from Ohara -

Kuzan - ara ara, I do not remember that -

Sengoku - damn, but now that I think about it all this is actually Garp's fault, he showed you his way of how justice is, you'll see when I find him. Well we leave this for later and just forget it. We have more urgent matters than this -

Kuzan - in agreement -

Sengoku and Kuzan left the place, not before Kuzan looked in the direction where Kaito and Robin went.

At the hotel, Robin and Kaito entered his room. When they closed the door, Robin was about to speak when Kaito interrupted her.

Kaito - I know you want to ask many things, but I promise that when I return I will answer every one of your questions -

Robin nodded, knew that Kaito had to meet with Sengoku. When Kaito was about to leave, he turned and walked towards Robin, when Robin was about to ask what was going on, Kaito hugged her.

Kaito - I promise you I'll be back, so trust me and let me take care of everything -

Robin was surprised, but after listening to Kaito, she also hugged him. They were like this for a few seconds until Kaito separated from Robin and left the room.

Kaito - (well, I think it's time to face the consequences, but it does not matter, I'll arrange for Robin to stop suffering) -

Kaito way determined to solve Robin's problem. He walked away from the hotel and walked down the dark street, not realizing that Robin was watching him out the window.
