ZOROBIN WATER SEVEN ARC 1 - ZORO'S DOUBTS(precedente arco narrativo Zorobin: Zoro vs Aokiji)The
Water Seven arc is one of the most dramatic in the One Piece saga. Not only Usop leaves the group after a furious fight with Rufy, but Robin also leaves, having abandoned her comrades, who come under suspicion for the murder of Iceburg, the mayor of Water Seven. Indeed, it seems that this happened because of Robin, who would therefore have betrayed the group. Let's move on to the analysis of the Zorobin which are present. First, let's take into account Nami's famous betrayal in the Arlong story arc. Arlong tells Zoro that Nami is a heartless woman, who even overlooked the death of her own mother, Bellmer. And Nami jumps to hear this: but she doesn't show it to anyone. But Zoro noticed it and therefore understood that there is something not right in Nami's "betrayal". While before he was sure that Nami had really betrayed them, now he begins to have some doubts: Nami's expression is the proof.
Zoro begins his analysis on Robin: unlike what happened with Nami, however, he has
no evidence that can prove that Robin has not betrayed. While, about Nami, he had assumed that she had cheated, about Robin, however, he does not exclude the possibility that she has not cheated...yet, as I said, Zoro has no evidence to support this thesis. Start by saying
"it's time to wake up", as if they were living in a nightmare...from Zoro wants to wake up from? Also, Zoro starts saying of Robin's discrediting data:
- at first she was their enemy
- she was with them
- she didn't leave for fear of the adventures they face (perhaps Zoro refers to the courage she had against Ener? Implicitly, he is praising her...)
But, in any case, here Zoro gives her a chance just the same... and we're talking about Zoro, a tough guy who goes fast!
Zoro: It's time to wake up. In the beginning, Robin was our enemy. Then she joined the crew. After everything that's happened, it's clear she's not the type to walk away in fear. Before the sun goes down, we need to figure out if that woman is friend or foe.
Below Zoro has a rather significant hesitation. After hearing from Chopper about Robin's last farewell to the crew, he comments: "It's like she meant she's going to..." with a visible pause with the three points suspension. It is probable that he was about to say: "commit suicide". That is, he also considers the possibility of Robin's suicide. An omen? Indeed, the fact that Robin gives herself up to the World Authority (but Zoro doesn't know this yet) means a death sentence, so it's also a form of suicide. But why does Zoro think that? Also, he changes the mention of suicide to "do something that would make things worse for us": a neutral sentence, while the beginning of the sentence indicated a concern instead. But not for a “traitorous crew member”: rather for a WOMAN who betrays them and about which he DOESN'T KNOW THE REASON. This is behavior that shows both trust and hidden love.
Robin: The situation will get worse. From today...we will never meet again.
Zoro: She said we'll never meet again "from today". It's like she meant to say she's going to......do something that would make things worse for us.
Zoro tries to be neutral, but in certain moments he gives himself away, even if it is not easy to notice. When he says: "If I choose the wrong answer without being sure it's the right one, my every action will be slowed down." That is, if Zoro takes the wrong path - that is, uncertain - he will not be able to act to the fullest. If he was really sure that Robin is an enemy (and earlier he had in fact spoken as if it were), then he should not be "slowed down" in his actions. And the fact that Robin is a woman is hardly reason enough to go easy on it. We are talking about Zoro, a ruthless person. At Whiskey Peek he made a massacre, also attacking women; he even sliced the bird-woman Monet in two at Punk Hazard without any problem. The problem is that Zoro doesn't feel like using all his strength towards Robin, without having any doubts. He is still not entirely convinced of her guilt, despite the overwhelming evidence against her. And this is already incredible, said by the person who wanted to abandon the "traitor" Nami to her fate!
Zoro: Whether or not I believe this...if I choose the wrong answer without being sure it's the right one...my every action would be slowed down, risking to take a fatal step.
Zoro also points out that, if Robin has always escaped the world government, why should she give up now? It seems that Zoro is in favor of the hypothesis of Robin being forced to do what she is doing. This is also why he is insisting so much on capturing her and talking to her about it. Now, one might think that Zoro is doing this because he was wrong in the past with Nami's betrayal, or because Robin did something more "evil" than Nami's case, so Zoro has to act with caution. But this clashes with his behavior towards the betrayal of Usop: in fact, Zoro is inflexible on the fact that Usop must realize what he has done, so that he can return to the crew. If with Usop (with whom Zoro has always been on good terms) Zoro is inflexible, with Robin (a former enemy, let's remember) his behavior is different and more optimistic... and we're talking about the same person! Furthermore, Rufy, the captain, is confused by Robin's betrayal, but it is Zoro who suggests him to find Robin to know the truth. Rufy and Nami have doubts about her, Chopper believes that Robin hates them, Sanji thinks about the words of Aokiji, who had said that "Robin will betray them". Zoro is the only one who analyzes the situation taking into account the possibility that Robin is innocent. And this Zoro didn't do it for
anyone else: neither for Nami, nor for Usop. Only in the case of Robin, the ex-enemy. And this is significant.
Chopper: Did he do something to Robin!? To control her!? Zoro: This is the optimistic hypothesis. The pessimistic one is that Robin is an accomplice to that guy.
