(Late At Night)

Robin was sitting at Zoro's bedside, because he got badly injured, whilst taking an attack that was meant for her.

"Why, Kenshi-san? Why do you always have to save me? One day I'm going to lose you forever, and I don't know what I will do if that happens." Robin said, wiping away her tears.

(How Zoro Got Injured)

The StrawHat Pirates were sailing and out of nowhere Smoker, Tashigi, and Kizaru attacked them. Tashigi started nagging Zoro about how he wouldn't fight her because of her being female. Smoker was fighting with Luffy and Kizaru was attacking Sanji. Robin was annoyed by Tashigi's constant nagging, as was Zoro. Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were working on a plan to help the others in their fights. Franky and Brooke were in on the plan as well.

"You're nothing but scum, that sword doesn't belong to you!" Tashigi yelled and Zoro gritted his teeth, getting ready to yell at her when Robin used her Hana-Hana abilities and covered Tashigi's mouth.

"We've been in this position before." She chuckled and Zoro glared at her.

"I have this under control." He growled out and Robin looked at him before looking back to Tashigi, shrugging.

"I just wanted to join in. What type of crew mate would I be to allow such an ignorant person like her, say those things about a fellow crew member?" She asked and pulled Tashigi's head back, holding her very own sword at her throat for the second time.

"Tch, damn woman." He shook his head and watched Tashigi cry.

"You don't have any words to say about how he's scum now?" Robin asked Tashigi, who was crying and trying to beg for mercy.

Smoker noticed how Tashigi had lost her grip and was being defeated. He shook his head and continued fighting Luffy.

Some Marines had noticed that Tashigi was down as well and started shooting at Robin and Zoro.

Zoro deflected the bullets and then did his 108 Pound Phoenix and took out most of the Marines' soldiers, only leaving the few that Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Brooke and Franky were fighting.

One of Usopp's Pop Greens went past the Marine he was fighting and hit Chopper, causing Robin to loose her focus on Tashigi.

Kizaru chuckled and planted his foot firmly on Sanji's back as Sanji watched Chopper. Sanji fell to the ground and Kizaru looked to Robin. His plan was to take them down while they were distracted, and that sniper boy had helped him greatly. Kizaru pointed his hand at Robin and shot a light beam.

Zoro noticed this and quickly went to push Robin out of the way, putting himself in the path of the light beam. It struck him as he raised his sword to deflect, hitting his arm causing him to drop Sandai Kitetsu.

"AHH GOD DAMN IT!?"Zoro shouts trying to get Kitetsu back, causing Robin to run over to Zoro, checking to see if he was okay.

Kizaru took this as another opportunity to attack Robin, walking up closer and turning his fist into a light beam, shooting it at Robin.

Zoro sees this and covers Robin with his body, pushing her to the ground, taking in the attack.

Smoker stops his attacks on Luffy as they see a big explosion of light.

Luffy looks over and sees Zoro holding himself above Robin who had tears in her eyes, and he uses Gum Gum Red Hawk, hitting Kizaru right in the face, sending him back to the Marines ship.

Smoker realizes that it's time to stop their assault and gathers up Tashigi, calling off the rest of the Marines and going back to the ship.

Sanji stands up and lights a cigarette as he walks into the kitchen, going back to making the lunch that was so rudely interrupted by the attack.

"Why did you risk yourself for me, Kenshi-san?" Robin asked, tears falling down.

"Because..." Zoro trailed off before his vision was filled with darkness, letting himself fall.

Robin used her Devil Fruit abilities to hold him up.

(Back To Present Time)

"Why do you risk your life for me so much? Like attacking Eneru after he hit me with one of his lightning bolts, and blocking Aokiji's Ice Saber, and saving me at Enies Lobby even though you didn't trust me, and stopping that fishman on Fishmen Island, and stopping Monet from killing me at Punk Hazzard, and then cutting Pica in half...why? Why do you always save me? One day, I'm going to loose you forever. I can't loose you forever, why do you always..? Why?" Robin asked, crying softly as she looked at Zoro's seemingly unconscious body.

"Because...I love you Robin."
