Far From a Friend

Nami stretched her arms over her head as she let out a yawn. It had gotten quite late and she assumed that she was the only one still awake seeming as Luffy was meant to be on look out. But he had most likely fallen asleep in the crows nest. She looked at the log pose that was on her wrist to make sure they were still heading in the right direction. she slowly rose from her chair after finishing a part of her map and headed for the door. Once she was outside her eyes went straight to her captain who was sitting on the figure head. So she walked over to him to make sure he was alright. "Luffy?" She said in almost a whisper. "Are you alright?" she said slightly louder this time. "Oh, Hi Nami, I thought you'd be in bed by now." Said Luffy without turning to face her. "Luffy, you didn't answer my question." Said Nami with slight irritation in her voice. "Yah I'm fine, You should go to bed though you don't want to catch a cold." Said Luffy as he spun around on the spot to face her this time. "Well I guess your right." Said Nami as she turned around to hide her slight blush, though it wouldn't have been noticeable seeming as it was quite dark. 'Just make sure you get some sleep too Luffy." Said Nami as she walked toward the women's quarters. "Good night Nami." Said Luffy just loud enough for her to hear. "Night Luffy." replied Nami in almost a whisper. she wasn't sure if he heard it but he probably did.

After She had changed and gotten into her bed her mind went straight back to Luffy. "I wonder if he's still out there?" she thought out loud.

'He really is his own mystery person isn't he?' thought Nami as she started to fall asleep.

Out on deck Luffy was just about to head off to bed when he noticed a small ship off to the side. He quickly ran over to the rail and looked over. It was a very small ship only big enough for two men at most. but there was no one on bored so he ignored it and went to bed. As he slept he had a bad feeling that someone else was on bored the ship.

The next morning Luffy was already awake in his bed as Sanji left the room to go make breakfast. He still had a bad feeling that there was some unwanted presence on bored the ship so he got up to go take a look around. After leaving Choppers office and not having found anything or anyone. he started to feel hungry smelling Sanjis cooking. Then Usopp approached him. "Hey Luffy. Did you forget we have a fishing contest to finish?" Said Usopp as he held out one of the two fishing poles he had. "Hey I have an idea to make it go faster how about whoever catches the next fish wins." said Usopp. "Your on." Replied Luffy with excitement. "Wait Luffy that makes it unfair for you." Said Chopper who had been keeping the scores. "Usopp you cheater. You're only saying that cause Luffy was about to win." Said Chopper as he poked Usopp on his side to make him fall off the railing and hit his head on the deck. "Now Chopper, it's not cheating if your opponent agrees to it." Said Usopp as if he knew the answer to every question in the world.

"I guess it's okay then." said Chopper as he looked towards Luffy to see him pull a fish the size of Franky out of the water. "Well I guess Luffy wins either way." Said Chopper as he pointed out Luffys catch to Usopp. "What that's not fair." Complained Usopp as he lifted his jaw back up.

"Nami, Robin, Breakfast is ready." said Sanji in his love love state. "Hey you dumb asses, Foods ready." Said Sanji as he snapped out of it. When they had all entered the kitchen Robin spoke up. "I'm afraid Miss Navigator is still in bed. Said Robin as she took a seat. "Oh no..! Is she sick? Do we need to go find a doctor? We need a doctor." Yelled chopper as he started to panic. "Aren't you the doctor?" Said Franky sarcastically. "Oh yah you're right." Said chopper as he started to calm down a bit. "Should I go in and see her?" Chopper asked Robin. "maybe you should, she was asleep when I left the room but I haven't been in there since." Replied Robin. "Oh no my poor Nami dear. I bet she needs lots of my love and affection to make her better." Said Sanji. "I don't know if that would heal her, seeming as we don't even know if she is sick yet." Said Chopper. "The crazy woman was probably just up real late making her stupid map." Said Zoro in annoyance. "what was that you called Nami you Stupid Moss head." Said Sanji has he turned to face Zoro. "You heard me you stupid love cook." Said Zoro as he stood from his seat. "Oh, so you want to fight?" said Sanji as he went to kick Zoro. Zoro easily blocked the kick with the back of one of his swords. "Bring it on Curly Brows." Said Zoro in reply. They then were having a fight to the side of the room.

"Well I better go check on her." Said Chopper as he left the room to let the others deal with the fighting swordsman and cook.

"I hope she's okay." Said Luffy under his breath thinking no one could hear. But of course Robin heard him and replied. "Even if she is sick Luffy, we have the best doctor in the world that can surely heal her." Luffy just looked up at her with a grin before turning his attention to the fight and calling. "Sanji I'm hungry, were is my food?" "Yes I'm getting quite hungry myself." Said Robin. "Oh of course my deer sweet Robin." Said Sanji as he walked away from Zoro leaving Franky and Usopp to hold him back from attacking him. "Hey you stupid bastard you can't just walk away in the middle of a fight." Yelled Zoro as he tried to force himself out of Franky and Usopps grip. "Sorry for making you wait my deer." Said Sanji as he paced a bowl of food in front of her. "Here you go guys eat up." Said Sanji as he pretty much just dropped the rest in front of the others. Though of course they didn't complain and started eating.

As Nami opened her eyes she was greeted by a massive head ache and pain in her stomach as if she had been punched several times. As she tried to sit herself up in bed the door opened and in walked Chopper.

"Oh Nami your awake." Said Chopper as he headed over to her bed. "How are you feeling?" Asked Chopper as he opened his medical bag. "Not to good to be honest." Said Nami as she lay herself back down. Chopper had now changed into his human form and looked down at her with a worried expression on his face. He knew she didn't look well at all and he had to find what was wrong with her before she got worse. He placed a hand on her forehead but quickly moved it back from the shock of how hot it was. He took the thermometer and placed it in her mouth. "How long have you been feeling unwell?" asked Chopper. "I was fine till I woke up not long before you entered the room." replied Nami. "What so soon?" Asked Chopper in both surprise and shock. A slight nod from the head was the only reply he got from Nami. "I'll be back in a second okay Nami? I just got to get some boiling water." Said Chopper as he went to leave. Nami looked at chopper from across the room and said. "Don't tell them how bad I am okay?" "Okay Nami." Was Choppers reply as he left the room to head back to the kitchen. Before he entered he let out a sigh. "Hey Sanji I need Some hot water please." Said Chopper in the calmest voice he could pull. "Sure thing Doc. Is Nami okay?" Was Sanjis reply as he entered the kitchen. Everyone looked at him with a hint of concern on there expressions. Chopper hated the fact that he would have to lie to his crew cause he knew full well that Nami was not okay. So he got out his most serious doctor voice and expression and said. "Well she isn't as bad as last time so I think by the end of the day she will be back to her normal self." said Chopper with a smile." "Oh that's good." Said Franky. "Yah I was worried there for a second." Said Usopp. "See what did I tell yah." Exclaimed Zoro. Robin simply smiled at the fact that her friend was going to be back to normal. "So can we come see her?" Asked Luffy, wanting to see her for himself to confirm the fact for himself. "Ummm... Maybe later she is still quite tired and doesn't want to see anyone yet." Said Chopper in reply, now starting to get nervous and sweaty. He quickly took the water thanked Sanji for it and left. Luffy looked down at the table now knowing that Nami was not okay. "Well at least we know she is going to be just fine." Said Sanji as he went back to the kitchen to finish cleaning. Every one then went to do there own thing. Zoro went to train it the crows nest. Robin went to the aquarium to read a new book she found, and Franky and Usopp went to work on there inventions. While Luffy went straight to the figure head to think.

Back in Nami's room Chopper was starting to panic. The only thing he could think of that was making Nami so sick was the fact that she had been getting soaked to the bone in the storms and not resting properly was starting to effect her. "There must be something else making it this bad." Said Chopper out loud. "Chopper, I'm really sorry for making you worry." Said Nami in a slight whisper. "It's not your fault Nami." Said Chopper with a Smile. "In fact it's almost as if you have been poisoned." Said Chopper as he started to think of that possibility. "Nami I'm going to need to take a blood sample to quickly run a couple tests." Said Chopper as he reached into his bag. Nami answered with a simple nod.

It was now around Midday. Luffy was still sitting on the figure head of the sunny worrying about Nami. He hadn't heard from Chopper. And Nami still hadn't left her room. He then heard the door of Choppers office open as he walked out carrying a large bag of what would most likely be medical things. He watched Chopper headed straight for the women's quarters and didn't come back out. He looked back out to sea and started to wonder what it was that had made her sick. And then he got that strange feeling again that there was unwanted presence on this ship. so he turned around to scan the deck. And there he saw him.

Over by Nami's tangerine trees was a man with dark brown hair that was just below his shoulders pulled back into a pony tail. He was wearing dark denim pants with a rip in one of the knees, with a dark green t-shirt with a black jacket just sitting on his shoulders. "How did you get here?" Asked Luffy. "Oh come on I would have thought you'd figure that bit out." Said the strange man as he snapped a branch off one of the tangerine trees. "Hey don't do that." Yelled Luffy in anger. "Nami would kill you if she saw you do that." He said, still angry at the man for breaking something that meant so much to one of his friends. "Ha she wouldn't have enough strength to even try." Said the strange man with a slight laugh. "Who do you think you are?" Yelled Luffy now really pissed. "Me, my name is Akito, And I plan on becoming the pirate king." Said Akito. "Now before you say something stupid like, 'No I'm going to be pirate king,' and try beat me up. I should probably tell you what's wrong with your pretty little navigator." Said Akito as he walked over to Luffy who was no longer on the figure head. "What did you do to her?" growled Luffy. Nothing that your doctor can't fix." Said Akito "But I can make it so she doesn't survive the night if you don't listen to me." Said Akito, as a evil smirk came across his face. "You see I haven't got anyone else on my crew cause they were all punished for disobeying the captains orders. So I need some new crew members and I think your navigator, Nami was it? would be perfect." Said Akito as he turned around to face the rest of the crew. "If you think were going to let you take a friend of ours away you got another thing coming." Said Zoro as he started to pull his swords out for a fight. "There is no way in hell I'm going to let you take Nami away from me." Said Sanji as he took out a cigarette and lit it. "You guys think you can beat me?" Said Akito in a almost laugh. "Well haven't you got a lot to learn." Said Franky. "Yah we could beat you with our eyes closed." Said Usopp as he stood behind Franky shacking. Robin just stood there with her arms crossed ready for anything. "Well lets see about that long nose." Said Akito. "Hide Hide Vanish." Yelled Akito. He then completely disappeared. "Wait what just happened?" Said Sanji. "Obviously he was intimidated by me so he decided to leave." Said Usopp, standing proud with his arms crossed. "I wouldn't say that long nose." Came Akitos voice from behind Usopp. Usopp was then lifted into the air by a invisible force. "You see I ate the Hide Hide fruit." Said Akito. He then threw Usopp across the deck and into the mast of the ship, with so much force that Usopp spat up blood. "So do you guys still think you can beat me?" Said Akito as he reappeared on top of the figure head of the Sunny. "Hey that's my spot." Yelled Luffy as he turned around. "Gum Gum, Pistol." Yelled Luffy as he stretched his fist to hit Akito right in the chest. "Iron Body." Said Akito just before Luffys fist hit him. "He has CP9 powers to." Yelled Franky. "Indeed I do but let me assure you I am much better at then the old CP9 that you lot fought at Ennies Lobby. For I even know more tricks then they did." Said Akito.

"So do you still think you can take me on?" Asked Akito. "Even if you were stronger then us it wouldn't matter. We would still fight to protect our friends." Yelled Luffy. "Well then I hope your ready to fight? Cause I don't plan on leaving without that navigator." Said Akito with an evil smile.
