Chapter 1: Nightmares
After a long day of the Straw hat crew sharing the stories of their two years apart they all decided to go to bed and continue the next day. All was quiet on Sunny when a sudden scream rang throughout the ship
"Ace!" Screamed Luffy
Everyone jumped up to see what was wrong
"Oy Luffy are you okay" asked Usopp
"Ye…yeah I'm fine I just need some fresh air" said Luffy as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out the door.
Luffy walked towards his favorite spot on sunny which was the huge lion figurehead. He climbed on top and gazed out into the ocean.
Nami had heard Luffy's scream and came out her room to see if he was ok. As she exited her room she saw Luffy staring aimlessly at the ocean in front of him
Nami quietly said to herself as she slowly walked toward Luffy
"Luffy are you okay?" Asked Nami which startled Luffy who wasn't aware anyone else was up
"Oh hey Nami" Luffy said with a weak smile…."sorry if I woke you up" Luffy apologized
"Oh no don't worry about it I wasn't even asleep yet" Nami reassured….."Ummm Luffy is everything ok" asked Nami
"Of course everything is fine Nami" said Luffy as he flashed another weak smile.
"Are you sure?" Nami asked
Luffy looked at Nami and grabbed his hat from his head and placed it on Nami's
"Thank you Nami I'll be fine I promise so there is no need to worry" said Luffy
"Ok but remember I'm here if you need me ok Luffy" said Nami as she adjusted the Straw Hat to see Luffy
"Thank you Nami" said Luffy with a smile
As Nami began walking back toward her room she heard Luffy say something that made her turn around
"What was that Luffy?" Nami asked
"I will protect you" Luffy said
Nami blushed and remained silent in shock at what he had just said
"I'll protect you, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and Brook! I swear I would let another person that I love die!" Screamed Luffy
"Yeah we know we have faith that our captain will protect us no matter what" Nami said with a smiled. "Good night Luffy" said Nami as she walked to her bedroom
"Good night Nami" said Luffy as he watched Nami walk into her room.
The next morning Nami woke up and decided to go check up on how Luffy was doing. As she walked out her room to her surprise Luffy was in the same spot. Nami walked up to him to see what was wrong. As she got closer she saw that Luffy had fallen asleep.
(Sigh) "Luffy your hopeless" Nami muttered to herself. "Usopp! Take Luffy to his room please" ordered Nami
"Ok" Usopp said as he dragged his captain to his room
Few hours later
"Lunch is ready!" Screamed Sanji
Everyone gathered in the dining room except Luffy
"Oy where's Luffy?" Asked Usopp
"Hmm that's strange he's normally the first one here" said Sanji
"I'll go get him" Nami said as she walked out the kitchen
Nami slowly entered Luffy's room trying not to wake him. As she looked down at her captain she saw that he was having a bad dream. Luffy was drenched in sweat and looked to be in a great deal of pain. As Nami turned to grab a cloth to wipe his sweat when a familiar scream rang throughout Sunny again
"Ace!" Luffy screamed as he sat up breathing heavily
Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and Brook remained in the kitchen knowing that Nami was there and all had a sad face on knowing that their captain hasn't fully gotten over the loss of his brother
"It's ok Luffy calm down it was just a dream relax" said Nami as she rushed to his bed
Luffy: …"no it wasn't just a dream he said as he stood up"
…"Wh…what is it that you keep dreaming" Nami asked knowing fully well what he was dreaming but wanted Luffy to talk to her about it
"Nothing really just remembering almost being eaten by a giant lion on Amazon Lily" Luffy lied
"Luffy there is no need to hide what your feeling talk to me I ca..." Nami said but was interrupted
"Nami" Luffy said
"Yes?" Nami asked
Luffy walked toward her placed his hand on her head then leaned in and rested his forehead on hers
"Wh…what are you doing Luffy?" Asked Nami as she turned crimson
"Thank you Nami but I'm fine please don't worry yourself about me. I am going to be the Pirate King one day so I can't be defeated by these nightmares" Luffy said with a grin as he walked out the room
…"Luffy" Nami said as she watched her troubled captain walk away
