Chapter 1

To say Nami was confused was an understatement. Two years ago, she couldn't shake Sanji away no matter how much she tried. He was always there at her side, bringing her the best food and drinks, protecting her from anyone who would try to harm her, basically spoiling her as the princess and delicate flower she is or it seems, was in Sanji's eyes. Nami always thought of Sanji as a womanizer, a gentleman also, but a pervert womanizer still. Now that they are finally back together, each member seems to notice every change in every crewmember of the Sunny. But it's Sanji who catches Nami's attention. As soon as she laid eyes on him, she almost choked. Nami would never admit out loud that she always thought Sanji was cute, and to be fair his physique was never bad, he always dressed very nice, his cooking is awesome, his hair is always perfect and he is a gentleman but those pervert moments and the fact that he was always after every woman he saw was a turnoff.

Something changed inside Nami, and her body heats up when they are back together. Sanji is not the Sanji she once knew. Starting with his physique, Sanji is taller than before, his hair is longer and now he has a goatee which makes him look more mature and...well, sexy…and bulkier. Sanji seems to have more muscle than before and it's proving to be too enticing to Nami.

Sanji changed a lot and that's all Nami has so far.

It has been one month since they were finally reunited and he hasn't tried anything with the girls, no random confessions of love or pervert moments. He still brings drinks and desserts to her and Robin, but not once did he stare at them, not even in their bikinis or when she and Robin are showing too much cleavage. 'That's weird…no nosebleeds.'

Nami sometimes even tries to catch Sanji's attention but failed miserably. She is beyond frustrated because now that she is giving all her attention to him, he couldn't care less…that or he's now really good at hiding it.

'How dare he do this to me…he'll see, I know the pervert Sanji is still there and I will find him…'

"What are you doing?"

Nami almost snapped her neck from looking behind her so fast…

"Ahahaha, nothing, nothing I just dropped something." Nami said nervously.

"You know, Ms. Navigator, your behavior could end as an obsession. Are you so determined to prove Sanji is still the pervert womanizer you claim him to be or is this something else?"

"What are you implying, Robin? I'm not obsessed. Least of all because of Sanji."

"It's that so…so care to explain why you are here hiding and waiting outside the kitchen?"

"…"

Robin giggles. "Do you long for Sanji's attention towards you that much?"

"WHAT?! No! Of course not, if anything, I'm relieved that he's no longer bothering me or you for that matter…it was getting really annoying and I'm actually glad it stopped."

"Mmm, he really changed…who knows, perhaps now something else caught his eye…or should I say someone?"

"Huh? What do you mean by 'someone'?" 'What the hell is Robin talking about?'

"Oh, nothing, sorry to confuse you Ms. Navigator, it's just a theory of mine. If you need me, I'll be at the library." Robin said as she leaves.

'What? A theory? She said 'someone'…could it be that Sanji fell for someone? That would be a good explanation for why the flirting stopped.'

Nami doesn't know why instead of being relieved, her heart hurts a little and she feels suddenly…sad? Why is she sad? Shouldn't she be happy? His annoying attention had stop. But she is not happy if she is honest with herself…

'Why am I getting so sad? It's not like Robin is right, it's just a theory of hers…but at the same time, how often does Robin make a mistake?'

"God, this is so annoying…" 'Nothing a hot bath can't take care of…'

Later on…

Nami finished her bath a few minutes ago, just in time to hear Sanji calling for dinner. As she is getting closer to the dining room, she hears to footsteps getting closer and closer pretty fast…

"Meat, meat, MEAAAAT!" Luffy screamed.

"Luffy! Slow do-"

Thud!

Nami fell on her ass as Luffy knocked her over. Luffy didn't stop and just kept running to the kitchen.

"LUFFY. I. WILL. KILL. YOU!" Nami was ready to kill her captain when suddenly; Luffy came flying from the kitchen landing next to her.

"YOU DAMN MONKEY! LUFFY, APOLOGIZE TO NAMI FIRST OR NO MEAT FOR YOU!"

"NOOO! Sanji, you are so mean! Nami, I'm sorry, I'M SORRY! Let me eat meat, MEAT!"

"Luffy, calm damn, I forgive you! STOP GRABBING MY LEG!"

"YAY, hear that Sanji, can I go to eat? Please!"

"Yeah, yeah, go, Luffy." Sanji said, lighting a cigarette.

"YAY MEAT!" Luffy went inside the kitchen, screaming excitedly.

"Sometimes I wonder if our captain has any brains….or us for following him." Sanji said, exhaling out a puff of smoke.

Nami laughed. "That's a good question. Thanks, Sanji."

"No problem, Nami."

Sanji walked over to Nami, extending his hand to help her up.

"Thanks." 'Why am I blushing?'

"No problem, now, it would be better if we get inside before Luffy eats everything…"

Nami followed Sanji up close.

'If you actually fell for someone else, Sanji, I will not rest until I found out who she is…'
