Robin was not the only one asking; everyone else wore the same look of eager gossip.
Apart from Luffy and Franky, everyone here had long since noticed Yamato's feelings for Ace.
Even Tama was no exception.
Lott had instructed Ace to serve as Yamato's guard partly to bring the two together.
In the original story, Yamato had indeed been a tomboy.
She had not shown even the slightest trace of femininity.
