[ That's one of the worst parts of it (besides, y'know, everything about this situation). She wasn't actually defending herself - because she didn't sink the ship's she's been blamed for.
The true credit for that goes to her best friend Saul, Giant who died defending her that day. Claiming innocence doesn't help her, though - she's still worth the same a until of money, whether she did it or not - so she's made a habit out of taking credit for Saul's actions. After all, if she's going to be hunted like she is, it's a lot better to be feared than it is to be viewed as an easy target.]
If I live long enough, I'm going to continue our research.
[ Which is another weight for her to bare - albeit one she actually wants. The prospect of learning the world's true history is the only thing that keeps her going, beyond basic day-to-day survival.
Of course, the key phrase her is if she lives long enough, which Robin knows all-to-well isn't a given. ]
