Luffy moaned in delight in his hammock.
"Meat is so yummy..."
His dream of breakfast was interupted by loud rock music that woke everyone in the men's dorm up with a jolt. Brook was fiddling with some rock cords, writing a song that could suit him.
"Oh no! Here they are! They're gonna send us flying far-"
He only had two more seconds of rocking out before Zoro cut his guitar in half and stomped on the pieces.
"Zoro-san! What was that for!?"
"I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!"
"I was right in the middle of writing the Straw Hat Pirate theme song!"
"WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU TO WRITE US A THEME SONG!? AND WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU TO DO IT AT BLOODY DAWN!?"
"Luffy-san told me we needed a theme song for whenever we sink a Navy Ship."
"I didn't tell you to work on it right when everyone's waking up," Luffy argued. He yawned. "Sanji! Food!"
"Zoro-san, you're gonna have to buy me a new guitar."
"Augh, fine. I'll get you one at our next sto-"
Zoro's sentence was cut off by an angry Nami who bestowed upon him a bump the size of one of her boobs.
"BAKA! NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WASTE MY MONEY!" She shook him by the collar. "DAMN YOU, ZORO! I DON'T WANNA WASTE ANYMORE MONEY ON YOU!"
Sanji stepped in and kicked Zoro in the back.
"Yeah! Don't go wasting Nami-san's money, you jerk!"
"Sanji! I'm still waiting on that food!"
"When did you decide to join the fight, eyebrows!?"
"The second you started bothering my Nami-san!"
"Sanji," Luffy moaned, "fooood..."
Zoro and Sanji began fighting instantly. Zoro was swinging his swords like crazy, and Sanji was doing moves like a ballerina. Nami sighed and walked up to the kitchen.
"I'm so hungry, someone please feed me," Luffy moaned.
"Zoro and Sanji-kun won't stop fighting anytime soon, so I'll make you a mikan salad."
"Arigato, Na..." Luffy suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He gripped his heart, and began sweating bullets. The atmosphere had suddenly gotten hotter.
Nami had pulled a leftover salad out of the fridge and started bringing it to Luffy when her chest started hurting. As she held her heart, she started sweating. The pain subsided slightly, and her heart just began to beat at a quickened paste. It was still hot, though.
She brought the salad to Luffy, and the atmosphere got even hotter, and her heart beat even faster. She noticed Luffy was gripping his chest as he took the salad.
"Arigato..."
"S-sure..."
"Hey," Luffy said, "can you use your weapon to cool things down? It's a bit hot today."
"Yeah, I was about to say... Windy Tempo!" Nami cried as she summoned a gust of wind. She still felt warm, and thought maybe a cold bath would help her relax.
That wasn't enough for Luffy, either. To him, the air on the ship was still as hot as Akainu's lava.
"Luffy, are you alright?" Usopp asked.
"N-no, I feel weird. Not exactly sick, just weird."
"Hmm... Mind visiting with me for a while?"
"S-sure," Luffy said as he stumbled a bit.
"I've gotcha man!"
...
Nami looked up from her bath. "Oh, Robin. You're taking a bath, too?"
"Yes. I forgot to last night," Robin said as she began undressing. "Are you alright? You were acting a bit odd with Luffy earlier."
"I feel funny, actually..." (We are now switching from L&U to N&R)
L/ "My chest is acting like it does when I run, and it's making my shoulders a bit heavy."
N/ "I made the temperature drop by at least 10 degrees, and I right now I'm in an ice cold bath, but I feel like I'm made of fire."
L/ "I have this weird feeling in my stomach, and I just thought I was hungry, but I ate the salad and I'm still feeling it. And when I get it, it actually gets hard to eat."
N/ "I feel like I have butterflys in my stomach, and it feels like they're using their wings to fan the flames.
U/ "Tsk tsk tsk. Oh, Luffy-kun..."
R/ *chuckle* "Oh, Nami-chan..."
Both/ "So naive."
N/ "What do you mean?"
L/ "Is something wrong with me!?"
U/ "Oh no-"
R/ "-nothing at all."
Both/ "You're just in love."
N/ "Oh really!?"
L/ "I-I can't be!"
Nami got up from the bath, blushing with a cute smile on her face.
"So I'm in love!? Fantastic! I always wanted to fall in love, but just couldn't because I was busy collecting belis! Hmm... I wonder who I'm in love with. Sanji-kun? No, too annoying. Zoro?" She slapped herself. "I'm ashamed for even thinking that!"
"You don't even know?"
"I didn't even know I was in love until you told me! Hmm... now who am I in love with?"
Robin chuckled. "Well, I'm sure you'll find out soon. The feeling should come to you when you're around the person you're in love with. So when you get the feeling again, look for the closest one around you."
"Oh! I can't wait!" Nami cried. She hopped out of the bath and slipped on her clothes. "I really need to know! I'm gonna start searching right now! But I swear, if I'm in love with Usopp, I'll fucking kill myself."
Robin chuckled again.
"I-I'm in love?" Luffy asked, his face red.
Usopp smirked and stretched Luffy's read face. "It seems so, Luffy-kun, your face is as red as your jacket."
"N-no! I-I can't be!" Luffy stuttered. "I don't have time for love! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"
"Well, whoever your in love with will have to be your Queen."
"N-no! Who am I in love with!? Tell me, Usopp!"
"Oi, I don't know! They're your feelings!"
"No, no no no..." Luffy looked down in embarussment and fear. "Usopp, please don't tell anybody this."
Usopp chuckled. "Why not?"
"It's embarrassing!"
"All the more entertaining it would be."
"N-no! Usopp-"
"I'd really like to see how Sanji would react to thi-"
Luffy shook Usopp by the throat, blushing even harder than before. "Please don't! You can be Captain! Just please don't tell anybody!"
"Your grip is tight," Usopp moaned.
Luffy sighed as he walked out of the room.
In love? He couldn't be! Falling in love before he achieved his dream would be a sin! And who was he in love with? Boa Hancock, maybe? He shuddered at the thought. Hancock was the last person he wanted to fall in love with. The scariest thing about this was that he didn't know who he was in love with. He could've be in love with Zoro for all he knew!
Luffy and Nami crossed paths and gazed into each others' eyes. Their hearts slightly pounded, and their faces grew warm. Nami knew right then and there she was in love with Luffy, and Luffy knew right then and there he was in love with Nami.
Luffy hid his blush under his hat and walked away.
"No!" he thought. "I can't fall in love! I'll just ignore her!"
Nami walked up to him and hugged him. "Hey~"
"Eek! N-Nami!"
"Hey there, Sensho-sama! Wanna have some snacks?"
"Y-yeah, sure! I-I'll go have them by myself," Luffy said as he pulled away from Nami. "Sanji! Food! Aw, you're still fighting!?"
Nami grabbed Luffy's hand.
"It's alright, Sensho-sama, I can make you another mikan salad. Or would you like a mikan cake?"
"Uh, I-I'm good. Really. I uh, have to use the restroom, excuse me."
Luffy quickly pulled away from Nami, who he left with a lonely look.
Nami grunted and held up her fist.
"This is the beginning of my new challange!" she thought. "No matter what it takes, I'll get Luffy's attention! I'll be his Pirate Queen, I'll marry him no matter what! Now, how to get him to notice me... Hmm... I know!" She spoke aloud. "Sanji-kun! Can you get me some meat sauce!?"
"HAI! NAM-SWAN!" Sanji cried right before Zoro punched him into the wall.
...
Luffy sat on the toilet with his head in his hands.
"Why?" he thought. "Out of every woman I've ever met, why Nami? The person I'm in love with is living with me. I have to get this feeling to go away, I can't fall in love! Every chance I get, I have to avoid her." The scent of meat filled his nostrils. "Meat?" He burst out of the bathroom. "MEAT!"
Nami was standing in front of him. Her hair was drenched in meat sauce, and she was wearing a meat-printed skirt.
"Hey, Sensho-sama! I'm trying on some new clothes! Don't I look cute?"
Luffy blushed and slammed the door.
Nami lightly growled.
"What's with him? Not even meat's grabbing his attention! Hmm..." She cupped her chin. "Maybe he's just playing hard to get. Alright, Luffy, have it your way. But don't expect me to crawl on my knees begging you to marry me, I'm not that desperate."
Or was she...?
Nami would do whatever it took to get Luffy's love, while remaining dignified and without looking too desperate. She wouldn't dare start worshipping him, and she wouldn't hesitate to scold him if he pissed her off to much. But whatever it took...
"Senpai will notice me!"
"NAMI-SWAAAAAAAAAN!"
"Robin!" she called, completely oblivious to his presence. "I need some help!"
"... She ignored me."
