(Alexander POV)
"ALEX!!" I let out an oof when the three practically tackled me to the ground ground while crying their hearts out, well, Luffy was going hard out "Your alive!"
"&-& Sabo knew?!"
"Well... the Whitebeard Pirates, Revolutionaries, Samantha & a whole island knew except you & your crew..." that got them fired up
"What?!"
"Hey, the good thing is you know I'm actually alive." Sabo helped me up before we helped the other three up, that was when Luffy hugged me, Ace & Sabo
"We're finally whole again!" I smile before ruffling his head
"We sure are kid, & happy late birthdays Luffy." he grinned
"Thanks!"
(Time Skip)
"Did you guys ever notice a black reddish bird watching you sometimes?" the two thought for awhile
"Yeah, I think so! Usually I see one sitting on the crows nest or on the railing, why?"
"Oh, that was me."
"What?!"
"Well not exactly me, but it was Shay in one of her forms. I was merely keeping an eye on you guys to see if you got into trouble & needed a hand. But you had things under control."
"Excuse me?! We almost drowned trying to get to Fishman Island, almost got crushed trying to get out, almost got frozen to death by a gas, almost gotten turned into a toy & almost gotten decapitated by a bunch of strings! How is that under control?!"
"If you didn't hear yourself those five times, you almost died. So you had it under control."
"... ALMOST!!!" I laugh, soon enough they join in. Suddenly we were in front of the Sunny & I froze, the three were in front & started walking onto the ship while I stayed back & started rubbing my arm
"Oh not again..."
"What?" they look back & saw me in a nervous state "Its going to be fine, Alex, trust us."
"They won't--"
"Its not them I'm worried about... its her, it's Robin." I look up & saw Luffy with a serious face
"She won't be mad, she'll be glad that your back! All she's been thinking about is you & that necklace you gave her."
"O-Oh yeah, that necklace..." Luffy grabbed my hands & started pulling me onto the Sunny "I-I'm not--"
"There's no need to be worried, we'll be there!" I smile
"Thanks Luffy..."
(Third Person POV)
"Oi Luffy, where have you been?! The Log Pose had already set hours ago! I thought I told you two too-- whoa who are you?" she asked as she pointed at Sabo & Alex
"Oh, this is--"
"Isn't he the Shadow Reaper?!" she screamed, soon enough everyone came running over
"D-Did you say Shadow Reaper?!" Usopp whispered out as him, Nami & Chopper hid behind the mast
"So scary!"
"Other then that, its Sabo!" he waves hello to them while Alex looks away, nervous, Zoro them looks at him
"Who's the other guy?" Alex flinched when he felt Ace pat his back, or actually, smack his back
"You got this, don't you?" he slowly nods before looking at the crew, he pulls the scarf down & takes his hat off, before smiling shyly
"H-Hey you guys..." most of them stood there in shock with widened eyes & the first one to react was Chopper
"Alex!" he ran over to him before jumping into his arms & hugging him
"Chopper, its nice to see you kid." soon enough the others gave him a hug while a fee of them were crying, aka, Franky & Brook. Robin, however, she silently stood there, he set Chopper down & grabbed her hands "Robin, I--" he was cut of when she snatched her hands away & gave him a hard slap across the face
Everyone stood there in even more shock, did Robin just slap Alex? He snapped out of his frozen state & felt the sting on his cheek, she looks up & his eyes widened when he saw the tear tracks running down her face
"You break my heart... Alex." she turns away & walks to her room, slamming the door behind her, making him flinch
(Flashback)
Luffy had finally forgotten about Alex's death & moved on, now he's reunited with his crew after 2 long years & the best part is, even Ace is there. He smiled to himself & when he put his hand in his pocket... he felt the necklace Alex gave him
"Oh... yeah, Robin!" she turns her head & smiles at him
"Yes?" she replied, ever so sweetly
"Um, Alex wanted me to give you this, & to say that he was sorry." at the mention of Alex her smiled disappeared & she stared at the necklace Luffy was dangling in front of her, she slowly took it from Luffy & smiled weakly at it
"T-Thank you Luffy-san, really..."
(Flashback Over)
"I knew it... I knew I'd hurt Robin." Sanji wrapped an arm around his neck & had a determined look on his face
"I hate seeing a women cry, & since you made Robin-swan cry I want to kick your ass... but I won't, I want you to go after her & apologize!"
"She won't forgive me though..."
"Did I say you had a choice?!" he shoved Alex in front of her bedroom door before running away, Alex glared at the direction he left before slowly knocking on the door
"Robin?"
"Go away!" he flinched at her voice, but ignore. He pressed his back against the door & slide down it until he was sitting down
"I-I'm really sorry, Robin, I really really am. Basically, I kinda was dead but a friend of mine brought me back from the dead." he got no reply, he signed but suddenly got an idea & knocked on the door "Knock knock..."
"..."
"Oh c-come on, you loved my jokes, I think your g-gonna like this one too... hopefully."
"... who's there?" he smiled when he heard her voice
"Boo."
"Boo who?"
"O-Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to my y-you cry, mi'lady." the others who heard rolled their eyes, they thought it was cheesy but Robin giggled
"Okay, knock knock."
"W-Who's there?"
"Orange."
"Orange who?" she opens the door & smiles weakly at him
"Orange you glad I forgave you?"
"R-Really?" she nods
"Of course, Alex-kun. Now I have one last joke, knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"A kiss for." he stood there for a second before blushing bright red
"A-A kiss for who?" she suddenly kisses him & he blushed even harder
"A kiss for you silly~" he leans his forehead on hers & grins giddily
"N-Nice one, Robin."
