It was yet another normal day on the Strawhats ship, the Sunny. Robin was resting on a beach chair, while reading. Zoro was up in the crows nest, probably sleeping or training, Sanji was messing around in the kitchen, making the girls a drink. Usopp and Chopper were sitting in the middle of the grassy deck, talking about Usopp's 'great adventures',Nami was tending to her tangerine trees, Franky was down bellow deck, refilling the cola, and Brooke was playing a lovely tune. It seemed like your typical day on the Sunny, but something seemed different from every other day...

Nami noticed this as she tenderly watered her trees. It seemed... Too quiet for the ship. There should be boys running around, screaming, yelling and someone falling overboard. But no. It was almost completely silent today. Curious as to why this was, she peered over the side of the balcony, looking down onto the deck, watching Usopp and Chopper sit there calmly, talking.

"Usopp, Chopper! Have you guys seen Luffy about today?" She called out, looking puzzled. They both glanced up at her, before shaking their heads in unison. She turned back to the trees, with a more confused look on her face. This is very strange. She thought to herself, Where could he be... This is very unlike him to not be causing some sort of trouble on the ship... With these thoughts in her mind, she decided to set out and look for him. After all, there is only so many places you can go on a ship in the middle of the new world.

Her first stop was the crows nest. Climbing up the ladder, she heard no audible noises, which confirmed her suspicions, Zoro was sitting against the wall, his katana laying on the floor beside him, his eyes closed, in a deep sleep. She looked around a bit, before climbing back down silently, as to not wake him up, he is always in a very foul mood if he gets waken up for no reason.

She walked around on deck, passing Chopper and Usopp, and heading towards the kitchen, which is the next place Luffy could be. Opening the door, Sanji was crouching by the opened fridge, his hang holding a bunch of strawberries.

"Oh, Hey Nami-Swan, You scared me for a moment, I thought it was Luffy coming to steal meat!" He chuckled to himself, before motioning for her to take a seat.

"Speaking of Luffy, have you seen him today?" Nami asked, ignoring his gesture.

"I saw him early this morning, he was in here stealing some meat, like usual. But not after that."

"Ah, ok. Thanks Sanji-Kun." She smiled at him, before heading back out the door. He simply smiled and nodded, before turning back to the counter, and chopping some strawberries.

Nami had soon checked every place on the ship, and was beginning to get concerned for her captain. Luffy was no ware to be found. She looked back and forth, making her way to the rear end of the ship, where the cannons were located. Luffy hardly ever comes back here, unless in a fight. But nevertheless, worth checking. She squinted her eyes, as the sun blinded her temporarily.

Leaning against the wall, his hat shading his eyes, and his arms crossed over his chest, was Luffy.

"...Luffy?" Nami slowly walked over towards him. No response. She repeated his name a little louder this time, only to be met with the same silence. She gently lifted his hat so it was not covering half his face, and smiled a little to herself, he was just asleep.

She lent against the wall as well, and found herself taking in his sleeping features. While asleep, he looked... Innocent. I mean, he always looked innocent, but it was...Well different. He looked... Almost cute. Nami laughed to herself, while shaking her head. What am I thinking? Luffy... Cute? Ahaha no. She moved away from him, letting his hat fall back, shading his eyes again.

"Nami... You are my nakama!" Nami shook her head more violently. What's with these repetitive flash backs I've been having lately. She thought to herself in a annoyed tone.

"Oi Nami?" A deep voice shook her back into reality. It was Zoro.

"Oh, you're finally awake Zoro." She replied in a teasing tone, while getting off of the wall, and walking over to him. "Sup?" Zoro turned his attention towards Luffy,

"I was going to ask if you'd seen Luffy, but he's here so nevermind." He said before moving towards Luffy, and tipping his hat up, looking into his eyes with a puzzled look.

"..What?" Nami questioned, looking at Zoro's puzzled face.

"Is he... Crying?" Zoro stuttered out,

"What are you talking about? He's just sleep-" Her voice was cut off as she too looked at his eyes, and saw the clear tear dripping down his face. Followed by another, and another. His mouth was gripped into a tense frown, and he looked to still be in a deep sleep.

*Slap*

"..Zoro what the fuck?" She backed away, Zoro had just slapped Luffy, right across the face!

"Oi, Luffy wake up. What's wrong?" He began to shake him violently, with a look of concern or protectiveness in his eyes. Nami couldn't tell which. Zoro had always been very protective of their captain, being the first mate it was kind of his unspoken job.

"...That was uncalled for. Come on Zoro." She spluttered out, as Luffy's cheek had turned a crimson red color where Zoro had slapped him.

"It wasn't very hard." He replied with no tone in his voice.

Sure, it might not have been 'very hard' to him, but it left a mark... Nami frowned to herself, while moving back over to Luffy, who had begun to awaken.

"..Huh?" He moved his hand up to his eyes, and rubbed them a few times, before looking back up at us. "I must have fell asleep. Sorry." He mumbled before standing up, and grinning a tired grin before walking back over to the front of the ship, where the rest of the crew were gathered.

"Oi Zoro..Should we say something to him?" Nami asked cautiously, as she watched Luffy walk away. Zoro just shook his head.

"No, don't."

"But-"

"Please, just leave this to me. I know why this happened." He replied, as he too turned to walk back onto the front of the deck, leaving Nami standing there alone.
