from Robin - to Koala @piratebento

Robin packed the last item of clothing for her travel back to the Straw Hats. She looked in the direction of the newspaper clipping where Luffy took a stance to announce to his crew when to reunite and where. She smiled at its yellowing edges before she turned back to her luggage. What she packed fit her, and what she did not pack did not fit anymore.

She hung up the outfit she would wear the next day when she does make the trip back to the Sabaody Archipelago. She was lucky to spend her time with the Revolutionary Army and under the care and protection of Luffy's biological father. She met many of the RA's officers, including Sabo and Koala. Each member had their own story, and Robin was absolutely fascinated.

With each passing day, she studied the Poneglyphs quietly and in peace. She tirelessly trained with martial arts masters to perfect her own fighting style. She even joined the officers on some missions against the World Government. Dragon promised her that she would be kept safe and she would reunite with her crewmates. She even managed to find out some valuable information about how her captain was doing from Ivankov.

As for Ace, Luffy's brother, she did not meet him, but she was sure he was a good person. He had kept Luffy out of trouble for as long as he could, and it was now the Straw Hats' turn to do so. It would not be easy to move forward, and she hoped her captain would be able to find the willpower to do so.

Sometimes, she would feel a gentle shove when no one was behind her. She chalked it up to the wind, but in her heart... she prayed it was Olvia telling her it was going to be alright. That it was Saul telling her to keep walking forward. She will find where she belonged. She hoped that Ace was still pushing Luffy forward too.

She remembered she promised Koala to hang with her on Robin's last day in the R.A.

She chuckled. "Ah, Koala, just in time."
