He is a boy." Robin said who is approaching the crew. She handed Nami a piece of paper and a gold amulet. The amulet is round in shape with a ruby, sapphire and emerald in the middle. Nami's eyes sparkled. "I found that inside the baby's cloth together with that amulet."
"Please keep him and take care of him. His life is in endangered as long as he is with me. Forgive me as I am giving this responsibility to you. I may not know who you are but I hope you'll understand. You can use the jewels to care for his needs. Tell him I love him, Zhu Bin's mother." Nami said as she read the letter.
"Zhu Bin. That's a weird name. How was the baby?" Zoro asked as Robin sat next to him. "That note was written before his mother met us and it clearly tells us that his mother plans to give him away. She knew that is the best thing to do seeing how sick her family is. The baby will not be safe with her anyway."
"He is alright, he is sleeping soundly." Robin said with a knowing smile.
'With that smile again' Zoro thought. 'She seems to be oblivious with what happened earlier especially yesterday.' Her scent and the smoothness of her skin upon his hands are still imprinted in his mind. It took a lot of his will power not to grab her there and then and took that damn lips unto his. Now, he realized that he is officially attracted to her. He knows that already in his subconscious all he needed is to acknowledge it.
"Can we just keep him?" Zoro's thought were cut off with Nami's request. "The baby has clearly eaten a Devil Fruit and maybe that is one the reasons why his mother chooses to abandon her child. Many of us here knew how hard it is for someone who has eaten a devil fruit. Imagine what this child's life would be growing up without a family."
