My New Life In One Piece

Chapter 12 - Opening your heart

Kaito despite feeling bad after killing a person for the first time, tried hard to appear normal in front of Robin so as not to scare her.

Kaito - are you okay? -

Kaito watched as Robin stared at him.

Kaito - Excuse me, do not introduce me, my name is Kaito, and what's your name? -

Robin - ... Robin -

Robin did not dare tell him his full name in case he recognized her.

Kaito - Robin, what a nice name -

Despite Kaito's praise, it seemed that he did not like Robin, although Kaito did not have bad intentions, he simply wanted to improve the atmosphere.

Kaito - let me help you remove the handcuffs from your hands -

Robin thought a little and finally raised his hands to Kaito to remove the handcuffs. After doing so, Kaito helped Robin to his feet.

After being released Robin observed the corpse of the agent, Kaito saw this and then approached and wrapped him with some blankets he found in the ruins. Then I put the corpse on his back and look at Robin.

Kaito - it will be better to get rid of the corpse -

Robin attended, after returning to put the hood followed Kaito. The two went to the coast, when Kaito arrived, tied a rope to the feet of the corpse and tied the other end to a large rock. Kaito proceeded to throw the body along with the rock and saw how it was sinking. Robin just stared. Then she watched as Kaito watched the corpse sink.

Robin - ... are you okay? -

Robin could feel that Kaito was not feeling well. Despite not knowing the intentions of that boy to have helped her, she still asked him how he was.

Kaito - oh, sorry for worrying, but I'm fine. To tell the truth, it's the first time I kill a person -

Robin had already assumed this. Then he felt a little guilty that he had made a young boy younger than her kill a person and also suspect him even after he had saved her.

Kaito watched Robin look down, and then he came over and took her hands.

Kaito - I should be the one asking you if you really are fine. You just went through a dangerous situation and if I had not passed by, I do not want to think about what happened to you -

Robin to hear the words of Kaito shuddered at the possibility that there was not to be saved. Kaito saw the fear on Robin's face and he inadvertently stroked Robin's head.

Robin shuddered when he felt Kaito's hand on his head, but then he got used to that feeling. For some reason it felt the same as when his mother c.a.r.e.s.sed his head.

Kaito behaved like an a.d.u.l.t on some occasions like this and this also happened a lot with Hina. That's why many people were surprised when Kaito told them his age. Both his behavior and his physique made him look older.

Kaito and Robin walked through the forest until they reached the ruins again.

Robin - thanks for helping me, but I have to leave -

Kaito - wait! -

Robin wanted to leave, but Kaito stopped her.

Robin - yes -

Kaito - well, I just got to the island and you could say I'm not very sociable with people, and I was wondering if I could accompany you or visit you during the time I stayed on the island -

Robin wanted to refuse, but after seeing Kaito's eyes and thinking a bit in the end he said yes. They agreed to meet again the next day at the same place where Kaito saved Robin.

Kaito went back to the hotel, dined and then went to sleep.

Kaito - (I never thought I would meet Robin, much less that I would save her from that situation, I hope I did not interfere too much and change the future) -

Kaito had been thinking about how his existence could change the future he knew. He did not even know if his own existence would cause a butterfly effect in the world. Kaito tried not to think too much and continue with his life. But after what happened today, Kaito was no longer sure what to do. Kaito had saved Robin, if he could travel to the past he would continue saving Robin, Kaito was sure of that. But he could not ignore the future repercussions of his actions.

Kaito - (I think I'm thinking too much.) I've been torturing myself with these thoughts for many years.In reality, it does not matter what happens in the future, if I can become strong enough I'll be able to face any difficulty that comes my way. At least I will try not to influence much in Luffy's story, but the rest of the characters is another issue, I am twelve years old, the minimum age to enter the Navy Academy and yes I'm going to become a Marine. I'll have to take advantage of my situation and build a path that will take me to my final goal.)

Kaito decided to stop worrying about how his actions would affect the future and decided to do what he wanted.

Kaito - (leaving aside this, Robin was already beautiful at the age of 16. She still needs to m.a.t.u.r.e, but she is already beautiful, the only bad thing would be her cold and distrustful personality but it is not surprising to live such a sad past) -

Kaito continued thinking about Robin, he wanted to surround her and know her better. I hoped at least that she would come to trust him. The only thing that worried Kaito is that Robin found out that his grandfather was a Marine, luckily his grandfather stayed on the ship.

POV Nico Robin

Robin continued walking through the ruined area until he reached a three-story building. He climbed the stairs and entered a room on the top floor. Then he left his coat on the hanger went to a bed next to the window and went to bed.

Robin - (I think it would be better not to meet him, I do not want to run the risk of discovering my identity or putting him in danger if I interact with him) -

Robin doubted the promise made to Kaito. His survival instinct told him not to approach any person. Robin had been betrayed several times since I escaped from Ohara. Robin had lost trust in people and only cared about her.

Robin - (... but those eyes) -

Despite his thoughts, Robin could not stop thinking about Kaito's eyes, those blue eyes that looked like they had been formed from the blue sea. He did not know why, but those eyes caught his attention for some reason. His curiosity as an academic and archaeologist kept making him more curious about the young man who made him feel differently.

Robin - (well, I do not think anything will happen if he only found me once with him, I'll see what draws my attention to him and then we will not meet again) -

Robin continued thinking about his meeting with Kaito and how he had saved her. He could not deny that he owed him a favor. But she did not know how to pay it either, in the end she thought that the simple fact of attending their meeting would be enough as payment anyway she was not obliged to meet him tomorrow.

...

The next morning, Kaito got up early and went to buy breakfast, had the idea of ​​bringing breakfast with him and breakfast with Robin.

Kaito - (I hope he comes) -

Kaito walked the streets in the direction of the agreed site, had doubts if Robin would come. When he arrived at the agreed-upon site with Robin, he saw that he had not arrived yet. After finding a wooden box to sit on. He leaned against the wall and waited for Robin's arrival.

The sun was still beginning to rise, when it was already at a certain height. Kaito began to think that maybe Robin would not come.

Kaito - (I think he will not come) -

Kaito was about to stand up and leave until he saw a figure approaching, saw that it was Robin in the same hooded coat as the previous day. Kaito got up and approached her.

Kaito - hello Robin -

Robin - ... hello -

Robin greeted him, his face expressed different emotions, Kaito saw this, but could not guess what was due.

Robin had actually arrived shortly after Kaito arrived, but decided to watch from the roof of a building and see what Kaito would do when she did not arrive.

To Robin's surprise, Kaito awaited his arrival even after spending a few hours since arriving. In the end he decided to meet him. Despite thinking a lot the previous day, Robin continued to change his mind every so often. But after seeing how Kaito did not leave, he decided to at least meet with him only that day.

Kaito - oh, it's true. I brought breakfast to eat both, but I think that at this time of day it would not be breakfast, hehehe -

Robin felt a little guilty listening to Kaito. Kaito proceeded to offer Robin a seat and began to take out what he had bought. From the package, Kaito took some fruit cakes, gave one to Robin. She accepted it, usually did not have the opportunity to eat these sweets. After eating it, Robin did not realize that he had eaten the cake quite quickly and with a small smile drawn on his face. When Robin looked up and saw Kaito looking at her equally with a smile, Robin could not help but blush at his actions.

Kaito - it seems that you like sweets, there are still more in the package -

Robin wanted to reject his offer, but saw how Kaito opened the package and inside this he saw different cakes and sweets. Robin did not resist the temptation and took more candy.

They continued to eat in silence, for Robin's serious it made her nervous as Kaito watched her eat. Every time his gaze crossed, Kaito smiled at him and Robin quickly looked away with a slight blush on his face.

Kaito - ahh, I'm already full, if you want you can keep the rest of the candy -

Kaito leaned against the wall behind him and handed the package of candy to Robin. Robin stared at him for a moment and then at the package. After thinking about it for a moment, Robin picked up the package.

Silence was present after this.

Kaito - (as I start a conversation, if it were Hina it would be very easy, but I do not really talk to many people) -

Kaito felt a little nervous, he did not know how to approach Robin. For her luck, Robin did not realize this, she also had her own thoughts instead.

Robin - (what I do even here I would have to say goodbye to him and leave) -

Robin still had his doubts about having more contact with Kaito.

Kaito - well, I think that yesterday the situation was not ideal to meet us, so I will introduce myself again. Hello, my name is Kaito -

Robin watched as Kaito offered his hand. She hesitated a bit, but ended up accepting his greeting.

Robin - my name is Robin, and sorry for not telling you before, but I thank you for saving me yesterday -

Kaito - you do not need to thank me I think that anyone in my same situation would do the same -

Robin - ... I do not think so, but thank you anyway -

Kaito - do not say that, I think any man would immediately jump to the rescue of a girl as beautiful as you -

Kaito just like he always did not realize his own words and how he said them with a big smile. This was something that Hina during her time with him, came to bother her a lot because of her affections in women.

And just like Hina, Robin, hearing his words and seeing his smile, blushed and quickly looked away.

Kaito and Robin continued talking, although the one who actually spoke was Kaito, Robin just heard him.

Robin was surprised to learn that Kaito was only 12 years old. She believed that she was almost the same age. What made Robin feel more alert to Kaito, since Kaito's physique, if it was not from a more a.d.u.l.t person, meant that he had had training for the fight. Despite this, Robin continued to listen to Kaito.

In the end, Robin also ended up talking when he discovered that Kaito really liked reading and learning new things. They started talking about books they had read.

In the end they decided to meet again in the same place the next day. When Robin walked after saying goodbye to Kaito, he passed by a window where he saw his reflection, when Robin saw herself smiling without realizing he could not help but blush.

Robin - (do not tell me I've been smiling all the time without realizing it in front of Kaito !!!) -

Unfortunately for Robin, Kaito did see Robin smile during their conversations, but he also returned to his hotel with a smile on his face without knowing that he had made the heart of a certain girl open to another person for a long time.
