The bustling streets of Water 7 shimmered under the afternoon sun, reflecting off the canals that wound through the city like veins carrying life. Robin walked alongside you and Chopper, her expression calm and unreadable as they took in the sights. Around them, the chatter of shipwrights and merchants filled the air, but an undeniable shift in the atmosphere occurred whenever Robin passed by. Men stopped mid-conversation, their eyes following her graceful movements, awed by her presence. Words of admiration spilled into the air—praises of her beauty, murmured declarations of infatuation—but she paid them no mind, her attention focused ahead. As the men stared, their eyes turn into hearts as they also whisper to keep quiet but fail.
“She’s gorgeous! A real once in a lifetime beauty!”
Chopper trotted beside her, his hooves clacking against the stone paths as he eyed the onlookers with a mix of confusion and curiousity. “Hey Robin, they won’t quit staring,” he whispered, flicking an ear. “It’s like there’s a bunch of Sanji’.” Robin simply looks down at him, still holding his hand-or hoove, and smiles, speaking in her usual calm voice.
“Don't worry, they’re just a bit…pervy.”
As they turned a corner, the canals opened up into a grand plaza where ornate fountains sprayed water into the air, casting tiny rainbows in the sunlight. Robin slowed her pace, taking in the grandeur of the scene, finally allowing a flicker of interest to cross her features.
The whispers persisted, men marveling at how the light caught in her dark hair, how effortlessly she moved, yet she never wavered—never acknowledged them. It wasn’t arrogance or dismissal; it was simply that she had no reason to engage. The world, as beautiful as it was, had far more interesting things to offer than idle admiration.
As you guys continued walking, you guys start to see a bookstore in the distance, capturing Robin and Choppers interests. Robin points her finger at the bookstore, looking down at Chopper and smiles again.
“Doctor. See that? I think we found our bookstore.”
Chopper giggles excitedly, and tugs on Robin’s hand, pulling her to the bookstore, while you quickly follow.
