I wanted to write a little ZoNa fluff piece. And the thought of a Loan Shark Nami with Zoro in debt to her really amused me.

I hope you enjoy this little story. I don't own One piece or the Characters


Nami sat behind her desk in her nicely furnished office. She counted a huge stack of cash with a slight smile on her face. She loved money.

It was just past 10:30 and she was about to close up for the day. She was waiting on one more client.

"Where is he?" she muttered, her smile dropping slightly.

"Did you say something?" The woman sitting at the doorway asked with a slightly sly grin.

"Nothing. Just waiting for Mr. Roronoa to come by with this weeks payment."

"Ohh, is that all." There was a slight laugh in her voice now.

"Robin. Don't say it. It's not like that" Nami locked the cash in the safe under her desk and then locked the door of her desk. "And even if it was, he's gay. So it doesn't matter."

"And yet, the heart wants what the heart wants." a new voice rang out. Her other bodyguard, Franky, was grinning at her too.

She glared at the pair of them. "What is with you two? Zoro is a good source of revenue that pays your salary and that is it."

Just then the front door bell chimed and none other than the green haired man walked into her office and threw an envelope of her desk. "Glad to hear you think so highly of me, Shark." there was an extra edge to his voice this evening. Probably brought on by her words.

Zoro turned to leave as Nami reached for the envelope.

"Just where do you think you're going, Mr. Roronoa?"

Zoro turned to glare at her. "It's all there. It always is."

Nami smiled sweetly. "I know, but it's just my policy. Can't leave until it's confirmed. Can Robin get you a drink?" Franky had slightly moved into the doorway while she spoke. He filled the entire space, leaving no way for Zoro to duck past.

"You got any sake?" he asked wryly as he dropped into one of the chairs in front of her desk.

Nami watched every movement of the fit man. The way his lithe form moved under his baggy hoodie. Judging from his very muscular forearms sticking out from the rolled up sleeves, she could only imagine what the rest of him looked like. She also noticed all the little scars and nicks on his hands and forearms and idly wondered how he got so many.

Robin set a small cup in front of the man breaking her stare. Nami opened the envelope and slowly flipped through all the bills.

"Can't you go any faster?"

"No. I have to be thorough."

"You know, you're a real piece of work. If I had any other choice I would have never come to you. And if I wasn't in such debt to you I would go to another loan shark in an instant."

"Well, I hear that there is one in the north end of town. But he makes you show him your panties all the time. And something tells me your panties aren't what he's after." She didn't look up from the money but she could hear the frustrated sigh.

"I should have know better than to get mixed up with you lot."

Nami was nearly done and couldn't think of anything to stall more and keep him longer.

"Say," Robin came over to sit on the edge of her desk. "How is your husband doing?"

Zoro looked slightly confused. "I'm not married."

"Oh, your boyfriend then?"

"Uuuhhhhh"

"That man you came in with the first time. Dark Hair, very friendly."

"Oh, Luffy? He's my best friend, but we aren't dating." Zoro chuckled and shook his head. "He wears me out enough as it is."

Robin chuckled. "I see. We just thought you two were. You look really cute together." the sparkle was back in Robin's eye. "So do you have a girlfriend then?"

Zoros eyes narrowed suspiciously as he eyed the attractive woman. Truthfully he hadn't seen anyone since Tashigi had joined the navy. He didn't want to think about how long ago that had been. However, he didn't like giving away personal information and was generally very private. "No" was his only answer.

"Awe, a handsome guy like you, surely you have women swooning."

Zoro shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"Robin!" Nami sharp voice warned her friend.

Robin slid of the desk with a chuckle and walked back over the Franky. "Can't I compliment the clients?"

"Well, it's all here. Thank you for your business." Nami concluded counting with a sweet smile.

Immediately Zoro pushed the chair back and stood. He downed the sake and made for the door.

Nami waited till he turned away from her before calling out.

"You know, you're in pretty deep debt with me, Mr. Roronoa."

Zoro pivoted to look at her. "And what's it to you other than good news."

"Well, we could arrange an alternate way for you to work off that debt." she leaned back in her chair to appear ultra casual. Her fingers slightly steepled before her.

Zoro bristled "I am not selling my body for you!" he snapped.

Nami waved her hand dismissing that thought. "Not like that. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Zoro relaxed marginally, both relieved and slightly hurt at the snide comment. But it wasn't like he was attracted to her, was he?

"I have some repairs that need doing around the office. If you fix them, you can work off your debt."

"Why don't you just pay someone?"

"Why pay someone when I can get you to do it for free?"

"It wouldn't be for free. How much would I be able to work off?"

"As long as you work, I charge you half interest." Nami stood and looked the taller man dead in his stunningly green eyes.. She could see the gears turning in his head. It was a tempting offer. Her interest rates were extreme; with this deal he might be able to pay off his debt. She didn't speak or look away, knowing the first to do so lost. It was a charged couple moments as they stared at each other.

"Make it no interest and I'll do it."

Nami laughed lightly. "If I did that I wouldn't make any money. This is my business after all."

"What about all the built up interest? You've already made lots off me."

Nami could see he probably wouldn't take the deal. Before he could tell her where to go she added "I'll drop to a quarter and that's it. Take it or leave it.

He would have to be a fool not to take the offer and they both knew it.

"Fine. I'll do it. But I'll only come once a week. I will not be at your beck and call."

"Twice a week and I can call you for emergencies."

Zoro sighed and walked over to her. "It's a deal."

The pair shook hands and Zoro left. It had been a long day. That woman might be sneaky and conniving but she knew how to make a deal.

Nami sat back down with a grin as she watched Zoro's retreating back.

From the side Robin chuckled. "Happy?"

"Quite." Nami placed the money in the safe and locked everything up again. Then she set to writing a list of everything that could possibly need fixing.


Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
