It had been two years since Luffy became the Pirate King.
The Strawhat crew had since traveled back across the Grand Line, visiting islands they hadn't visited before, and gaining more fame along the way.
They were currently heading out of the Grand Line to East Blue, which was only a few days away.
Due to the recent mass increase in pirates, the marines were too occupied to chase after the Strawhats, thus there were few obstacles in the way of their sailing.
They were now faced with a problem, however.

Chopper nervously stepped out of the medical room out onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny.
"E-Everyone's having breakfast now.." he muttered to himself, shutting the cabin door behind him.
The small reindeer looked at the ground for a few moments, then slowly took a few steps forward.
"O-Okay!" he exclaimed, feeling determined. "I-I have to act normal! I can't be suspicious!"
He took another few steps, then suddenly dashed across the deck and flung the dining room door open.
"G-GOOD MORNING!!" he shouted.
Everyone in the room, all of whom had been eating, stopped to stare at Chopper.
"W-What's wrong??" asked Sanji.
"WHAT!?" Chopper exclaimed. "NOTHING'S WRONG!! I'M NOT SUSPICIOUS!!"
The crew continued to stare at him.
"A-Are you alright?" asked Franky.
"YES! I'M FINE!!" Chopper bellowed.
He looked between each member of his crew, sweating intensely.
'How do they know something's wrong!?' he thought to himself. 'C-Could it be, they found out!?'
He headed to the table's nearest empty seat, walking in a very unnatural manner.
The crew followed him silently with their eyes.
'I-I need to act more natural!' he decided. 'Natural..Natural...Think natural..'
Upon reaching the chair, he attempted to take a seat, but instead knocked the chair down and rolled forward, smashing into the wall.
"W-What are you doing??" asked Sanji.
"AH..! U-UM..!" Chopper stuttered, panicking.
He tried to get up but fell back over. 'What's going on!? Why can't I get to my feet!?'
Examining his legs, it came to his attention that for some reason he was no longer in his regular form.
Apparenly, in his attempt to be 'natural' he had changed into his original four legged reindeer form.
He quickly changed back and stood up, facing the wall.
He gulped, then slowly turned around to face the crew.
Robin, Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, and Franky were all gawking at him.
Luffy was watching him while slowly biting a piece of meat off a bone.
He stumbled to his chair, lifted it up, then hopped up onto it.
He faced down for a moment, then raised his head. "Eh..heh heh.." he laughed nervously.
Everyone remained silent.
A few seconds passed and Luffy swallowed his food.
"Chopper.." he said in a serious tone. "..Do you not want your food?"
Chopper instantly snapped his neck around to look at Luffy. "AH!!" he yelled. "L-LUFFY!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH NAMI! REALLY!! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL!!"
"EH!?" everyone shouted.
Sanji immediately stood up. "What's wrong with Nami-san!?" he cried.
"You found out why she's sick!?" exclaimed Franky.
"Is she alright??" asked Robin.
Chopper put his hands on his head. "UM..!! UM...!!"
"NAMI'S NOT GONNA DIE IS SHE!?" hollered Luffy.
"What is she ill with!?" shouted Usopp.
"AH..!! UM...!! AHH...!!"
"Is it life threatening??" asked Zoro.
"Why didn't you say something sooner!?" exclaimed Franky.
"NAMI-SAN!! NOOOO!!" bellowed Sanji.
"What are we going to do!!" cried Usopp.
"SHUT UP!!" Chopper roared.
Everyone fell silent.
"There's nothing wrong with Nami!" he shouted. "She just needs to rest! She's sleeping in the medical room right now!"
"But she's been really sick for the past week!" exclaimed Usopp.
"That's right!" said Sanji. "She's been clutching her stomach in pain every day!"
"And she wakes up multiple times during the night!" added Robin.
"And she barfed on my swords last night during dinner!" complained Zoro.
Chopper didn't know what to do. Nami made him promise not to tell anyone.
He couldn't let them find out!
Doing the only thing he could think of, he jumped off his chair and raced out the door.
"WAIT!!" Sanji roared, chasing after him.
"Tell us what happened!" shouted Usopp, following after Sanji.
"That's right!" yelled Franky.
Within a few seconds, everyone was out on deck.
Chopper scurried along the side of the ship, desperate to get away from his crew mates.
'What am I going to do!? What am I going to do!?' he thought.
"GET BACK HERE!!" Sanji thundered.
"Let's cut him off!" Franky shouted to Usopp, heading along the opposite side.
Chopper suddenly found himself trapped between Franky and Sanji.
Acting as quickly as possible, he threw a Rumble Ball into his mouth and changed to his jumping point form.
Just before Sanji and Franky could grab him, he leapt onto the upper deck and out of their sight.
"Damn!" cursed Sanji, running back the way he came.
Eager for a place to hide, Chopper jumped onto the top of the center mast, where he was concealed by the sail.
"Where did he go!?" shouted Usopp as he, Franky and Sanji reached the upper deck.
"We can't let him escape!" yelled Sanji. "We have to make him tell us what's wrong with Nami-san! Let's search the whole ship!"
The three split up to search the different areas of the ship.
Chopper breathed a sigh of relief as he watched them from above, glad he wasn't discovered.
A few minutes passed before the three met back up with each other.
"Where is he hiding!?" shouted Sanji.
"Haven't we been over the whole ship??" asked Usopp.
"W-Wait!" exclaimed Franky. "We haven't checked the medical room yet!"
The cyborg quickly dashed to the door of the medical room and threw it open.
"AHHH!! STOP!!" shouted Chopper. "Don't go in there! Nami needs to rest!"
The reindeer covered his mouth with his hooves as everyone's gaze went to the top of the mast.
'Oh no!!' he thought.
"There he is!!" Sanji, Franky, and Usopp shouted as they headed to the bottom of the mast.
"But how are we going to get up there??" asked Franky.
"Luffy!!" Sanji shouted, "Stretch yourself up there and get him down!"
Luffy, who was eating a piece of meat while standing next to Robin and Zoro, effortlessly shot his arm up to the top of the mast, grabbed Chopper, then let his arm snap back into place, bringing Chopper with it.
In an instant, Chopper was surrounded by his six crew mates.
He gulped as he looked up at them.
"Chopper, why are you running away??" asked Luffy.
"Tell us what's wrong with Nami-san!" exclaimed Sanji.
"I..I won't say anything!" Chopper declared.
"Why not??" asked Franky.
"Because...Because I promised not to!!"
"You promised Nami not to tell us?" asked Zoro. "It's that serious?"
"Chopper!" yelled Sanji. "Even if you promised her, if Nami-san is in danger, we need to know!"
"That's right!" exclaimed Franky. "We're her crew!"
"Before you joined us, Nami was really sick once before!" shouted Usopp. "She tried to hide it from us that time too and she almost died!"
Chopper didn't know what to say. He promised Nami he wouldn't tell them, but since they're this worried about her...
"Why are you all being so loud?" came a voice.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice.
It was Nami.
"Nami-san!!" shouted Sanji. "Are you alright!? What are you sick with!? How serious is it!!"
Nami stepped back in surprise. "W-What??"
"Don't hide it from us, Nami!" exclaimed Usopp.
"Yeah, we're your crew!" shouted Franky. "If you're in danger, you need to let us help!"
Nami stared at them wide-eyed. "W-What are you all-"
Nami was cut off by Chopper, who leapt at her crying.
"I'm sorry!!" he cried. "It's all my fault! I don't know how, but they some how figured out I was hiding the truth about your condition!"
"...Oh.." said Nami as she grasped the situation.
"W-What is it!?" shouted Usopp.
"Yeah, what is it!?" repeated Franky.
Nami looked at her crew silently for a moment, then sighed.
"I was planning on keeping it a secret for a while, but I guess you guys were bound to realize it soon enough anyway."
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Zoro, Luffy, Robin, Sanji, Franky and Usopp all stared at her patiently.
Chopper nervously looked back and forth between them.
After a few seconds, Nami opened her eyes.
"..I'm pregnant." she said.
Luffy's Franky's and Usopp's jaws all dropped.
Sanji became stiff as a board, then fell over onto his back.
Zoro stepped back in surprise.
Robin covered her mouth with a hand and her eyes went wide.
Chopper gulped and continue to look back and forth between Nami and the others.
"And.." Nami continued, "..Luffy's the father."
