Chapter One: Making Way
The wind gusted through the sails of the Going Merry. The Straw Hat crew was in the middle of a vicious storm, unable to get out. Luffy was sitting on his normal spot of the lamb's head in the middle of the storm.
"Luffy get down from their" Zoro yelled getting ready to go down below deck.
"No thanks, I like it up here"
"Well your not gonna like it when you drown!" He yelled walking over to his captain and dragging his across the deck. He threw him down the steps. He landed in a mangled rubber mass.
"That was fun!" He yelled happily clapping his hands. "Do it again Zoro"
"NO!"
Luffy's smile faded. "Alright then" He said skipping over to his hammock. He flopped in it, making it swing back and forth in the air.(AN: There are two sets of hammocks. Usopp and Zoro have the bottom ones, and Luffy and Sanji have the top ones) Zoro took his bottom hammock as well.
"You guys going to bed yet?" Usopp asked timidly, afraid of the storm. Chopper was laying next to him on the floor.
"You think the storm will be over soon?" The little reindeer asked.
"Yeah!" Usopp yelled. "And the great captain Usopp has no fear of this storm" He said trumpidly. The lightning outside made a large cracking noise. Usopp squealed and hid under his covers.
"Not afraid huh?" Sanji said laughing slightly.
"I thought you were asleep" Zoro said looking up.
"Nope, just layin around" He looked across to see Luffy swinging rapidly back and forth on his hammock and laughing happily.
"Hey Luffy, that's gonna fall if ya keep swingin it like that" Sanji said watching the hammock swing.
"Yeah! And if you fall on me your dead" Zoro yelled from below him. Luffy stopped and his laughter ceased,
"You guys are no fun" He said slouching and now laying down.
"Lets just try to get some sleep" Chopper said quietly. Zoro just grunted and fell asleep quickly. Usopp had scared himself to sleep.
Chopper had fallen asleep after all the yelling stopped. Luffy and Sanji remained awake. A puff of white smoke flew around the top of the hammocks as Sanji blew out the cloud of smoke.
"We should get ta sleep Luffy" He said taking the worn cigarette and placing it in an ashtray. "Were gonna need energy tomarow if were gonna bring the ship around and out of the storm" He said placing his hands behind his head.
He didnt get a responce, Luffy had already fallen asleep and was snoring softly. He smiled knowing his captain was probably dreaming happily. He turned on his side and closed his eye falling into sleep quickly.
The next morning Nami awoke. She got out of her bed and stretched. She was the only one on the crew that actually had a bed. Zoro insisted that he should get it, but Sanji told him otherwise, that the lady should get the bed. She was grateful for this. She stepped onto the deck and looked around.
"Their isn't that much damage" She said looking around. "Could use a little fixer uppers here and there, but we'll get Usopp to do that for us" She said smiling. She traveled to the kitched and expected to see the blonde chef cooking something for their breakfast meal, but he wasn't at his normal post.
"He must be sleeping still" She said. But she didn't press it even farther, the boy's hammock's was one place she wouldnt go. She pulled out a book and scanned the area looking back and forth between the two. Picking up their postion she calculated they had only moved 200 feet away from where they were before.
"Were not too far" She said to herself looking for any signs of land ahead. She closed the book and went up to the front of the ship. "I could go for some hot chocolate right about now" She said sighing. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs and stared into the ocean. She often recalled of the many memories she had with Nojiko and Belle-Mere. The ocean just reminded her of the life she had before Arlong had taken over Coco-Village.
She heard footsteps behind her. Shr turned around quickly and saw that Sanji had woken and was already moving to the kitchen, ready to start on their meal for breakfast.
"Now I can get that Hot Coco" She said standing up and also walking to the kitchen. She opened the wooden door and saw him gathering a few vegatables from the basket and two big slabs of meat.
"Sanji" She said to him walking in. He noticed her quickly. "Yes Nami?" He said placing a knife back down on his cutting board.
"I'd like some Hot-chocolate, if it isn't too much to ask" She said. He smiled happily and already pulled out a mug.
"Of course not Nami" He answered getting it ready. She watched him make his special hot chocolate from scratch. Moments later he presented her the steaming cup.
"Thank you" She said taking a small sip, being careful not to burn her tounge.
"I better get started on the meat, Luffy will be up..."
"MEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Yelled the anxious voice of their captain.
"..any minute" Sanji finished seconds later. Luffy burst into the kitchen smile on his face.
"Where's the meat Sanji?" He asked picking up a plate.
"it's cookin Luffy" He said dusting the cooking vegatables with salt and pepper. Luffy sighed and looked at Nami who had the cup of hot-chocolate.
"How come Nami's got something?" He asked unhappy about this.
"Cause Nami asked for it, and you know I can't say no" He said giving him a 'duh' kinda face.
"Nami get's everything good" He said muffled and crossed his arms over his chest. She held the mug up.
"You wanna sip Luffy?" She asked him kindly. He smiled widely and took the cup from her. He took a giant sip from the mug. He then realized how hot it was.
"HOT!" He yelled running around in a circle until Sanji grabbed the back of his collar.
"Of course it's hot! It's called HOT chocolate! you idiot!" He yelled whacking him over the head with an unused frying pan.
"What's all the commotion!" Zoro yelled coming up onto the deck furious. "You woke me up!"
"And us too" Usopp said with Chopper following him nodding slightlty.
"Our genious captain drank a huge sip of HOT chocolate and is actin like an idiot" Sanji yelled. Soon a huge commotion of fighting from all boys broke out, mainly between the chef and the swordsman. Nami put down the mug and stood up.
"QUIET ALL OF YOU!" She yelled. Instantly everything hushed. "You guys are so immature! I'm going to the front of the ships and going back to doing my job! Maybe thier's an island nearby where I can drop you all off" She yelled stomping out of the kitchen taking her hot chocolate with her.
Sanji grunted. "Get outta my kitchen" He said to them all. "I'll call ya when it's ready" He said quietly, ashamed for his actions of annoying Nami. Luffy nodded and walked out, still a little confused of what was going on. The rest quickly followed. He rolled his eye and went back to cooking their breakfast.
As soon as the words.
"Breakfast's ready" Came from the chef's mouth, Luffy ran down to the table where Sanji had put everything out.
"Go ahead and eat already" He said sitting the last plate down at the end of the table, which was covered. Luffy looked at the expensive silverware and fancy glass and then his.
"How come Nami gets all the good stuff?" Luffy asked taking a bite of his toast.
"Because the stupid chef wants to please her" Zoro said taking his seat. "Not like it'll ever work" He looked around and saw that Sanji wasn;t their. Probably off bothering Nami again he thought.
Sanji returned moments later with the navagator in back of him. He pulled out her seat which she sat down at. He pushed it in and went to his seat on the right side of her's.
He watched her take off the lid and smiling widley. "This looks great!" She exclaimed. She cute a piece off and took a bite chewing slowly, taking in all of the flavors. She knew one thing, Luffy had made a great chef choice, nothing beat Sanji's cooking. Luffy had already finished his meal and before Sanji could tell him to put his dish in the sink he was already on the lamb's head again looking out at the sea. He sighed happily and saw a greenish blackish mass in the distance.
"Land!" He yelld happily standing up and almost falling.
Nami slid out of her chair and rushed to the front. She grabbed her book and looked to the maps.
"That's Natsuver" She said looking back and forth between the two. "It'll be a good place to stop and restock" She said closing the book. Luffy gave his normal laugh and jumped up and down.
"Yeah!" He yelled. "Natsuver Island! here comes Monkey D. Luffy! The next King of the Pirates!" He yelled.
