I sat on the roof with Nami, Chopper, Luffy, and Zoro as I leaned back on my arms, out of breathe from the running me and Zoro had to do.

When I eventually did run into another Strawhat, it was Zoro. Only, I literally ran into him. When we got up and he saw it was me, his eyes widened and he grabbed my arm telling me to run. At first I was very confused until I looked back and saw the mob of shipwrights chasing us.

"So things finally calmed down."

"'Finally calmed down'?!" Nami mocked Zoro in exasperation as she couldn't believe how nonchalant the man was all the time, "You and Y/n were just being chased by multiple shipwrights! It's your fault that we got caught up in it!"

Zoro mumbled a come back, earning him a hit on the head as Luffy claimed that he wa surprised to see that Chopper found us.

Chopper nodded, but he clearly had something else on his mind.

"What's up, Chopper?" I tilted my head at him curiously as I noticed he was bothered by something.

"Sanji and I found Robin..." Before any of us could ask any questions he quickly told us that she told them she wasn't planning on returning.

First Usopp, now Robin? Can we live?

I sighed dejectedly as I hug one of my knees close to my chest, letting the other leg stretch out.

"We were all preparing for this right?" Zoro took his sword and pointed it in the center of us, "I think this the time where we really decide if she in a foe or a friend."

~•~

We hid behind trees and bushes as we looked at the heavily guarded building that was once thriving with a welcoming atmosphere.

"It's pretty crowded..." Chopper looked through the leaves as he used the binoculars to scope the place out.

"It's pretty far too..." Luffy added with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.

Nami quirked an eyebrow at him, not seeing the problem, "You can just stretch your arm and fly in there, but then again I suppose that's when the real fight will start."

"And it'll become a distraction."

"That they can take advantage of," Zoro nodded, finishing my thought.

After a little while an explosion goes off at the front of the building, a bright orange light filling the night's darkness as we hear screams from the shipwrights down below.

In the corner of my eye I spot two figures jumping off the roof and towards the chaos and I could instantly recognize the feminine figure. Instinctively, my hand reaches to my pen and I summon my scythe.

"Y/n?" The others ask me, confused as to why I was so riled up, but I didn't answer them as I shook my head and tried to calm myself down.

There's no use in jumping head first. Think before you act. Don't just rely on emotions.

Sadly, our captain didn't have the same mindset since he took this distraction to shoot himself into the chaos as well.

Zoro, Chopper, Nami, and I couldn't keep our mouths shut as we failed to hide our disbelief towards our captains level of stupidity.

"I guess we can take this to our advantage as well," Nami spoke, forcing herself out of her gaze and jumping down from the tree branch, running towards the back entrance, "There's so much chaos in the front, everyone's attention will refocus there and the back will have lighter security."

Chopper seemed to catch on as he ran beside us, "That's smart thinking! Then that means we can jump over no problem."

But there was a problem.
