As Sanji walked away, Robin stopped hunching and leaned her back against the couch with a heavy sigh. She closed her eyes and even pulled the hat over them, suddenly understanding, fully, how the object could bring the captain so much comfort. Shielding yourself from the world could do wonders.

Luffy, still on the floor against her legs, noticed the action and smiled softly, although he was missing his hat. He felt a bit naked without it, but the brief sacrifice was worth it. So, instead of focusing on the headwear, he poked Robin 's knee to get her attention. The archeologist lifted her shield, revealing her tear-stricken face.

be okay. '

Luffy sighed. 'Why do all of you lie the first time? I 'm not going to bite if you 're not okay. '
