Hey guys!

I bring you yet another collection of LuNa oneshots! I know there are plenty –very good ones- out there. But hey, this is my unique and hopeful original take of life with our favorite captain and navigator in love.

This can be set in my Broken, Nami's seduction Log and Opening Pandora's box universe, but you don't need to read those to enjoy this one shots. This were born because ideas kept popping in my mind but they wouldn't fit in any universe I'm currently writing on my other fics… thus.. this collection was born.

Attention: All you need to know is that Luffy and Nami are a couple, and they are currently sailing in the New World, so expect some spoilers

For those unfamiliar with my previous works, standard warnings apply, I'm not an English speaker native so grammar can be a little funny, also rating would be T unless I decide I want to write a steamy one shot, in which case the proper warnings would be given.


Luffy & Nami's love Log
a LuNa collection of one shots
Log I: You don't need to be my captain

Nami woke up startled and disoriented by an announcement made on the speaker just below the crow's nest. Her mind still clouded by sleepiness, it took her brain several seconds to process that they weren't, in fact, under attack.

"LAND HO!" Zoro had shouted.

She smiled, knowing the man currently sleeping with half his body on top of her would be so glad to hear it, even if the faint light coming from the porthole indicated it was still much too early to get up. She took a moment to glimpse at him, his head currently resting on her shoulder, his arm draped over her torso and a leg intertwined between hers, a very thin trail of drool falling into her shoulder from his slightly open mouth. She couldn't be disgusted by it thought, considering all the many fluids they had shared during the night it would have been hypocrite of her, besides, he looked so cute.
For a moment she was shocked they could see an island, the afternoon before when they dropped anchor there was no land on sight, but it had been a pretty gloomy raining afternoon, so chances were that now that wheatear had cleared it was easier to spot land.

She shook her lover's shoulder gently "Oi Luffy"

"Ng..mm meat" he muttered drowsily.

"Luffy! There's land on sight" She said gleefully, they had been at sea for far too long, and she knew her captain had been craving a new adventure on a new island. He jumped up and tried to get off the bed, tangling on the sheets in the process and falling hard into the cold planks of the wooden floor, he ended upside down, half his body still trapped on the bed.

Nami laughed.

He recuperated fast and because he was made of rubber that hadn't hurt at all, he stood up

"Really Nami?

"Yes, Zoro just announced it over the speaker" She sat on the bed, her naked top uncovered unashamedly and her lower half hidden by a white silky sheet. It was Robin who was supposed to be on watch duty, that's why the captain had shared her quarter during the night. Of course, Nami knew that Zoro would often climb to the crow's nest during Robin's watch to "train" and "keep her company".

"Wooo! Thanks Nami!" he took the hat that was resting on the small bedside table and secured it over his head, he was about to run out the door when he turned around and approached Nami, pecking her softly on the lips.

She smiled; proud that she finally had somehow pounded into his skull it was rude to run off the room without properly giving your girl a good morning kiss.

"Good morning Nami, shihihihihi" his smile was wide and sincere.

"Good morning"

And then he wasted no time and ran off the women's quarters and the navigator had to shake her head when she heard several shouts outside.

"For goodness's sake Luffy! Go put some clothes!" A distressed sniper shouted somewhere outside on deck.

Her lover had run off the room, naked, -again-.

It would be a while until they actually hit land, time enough for showers and breakfast to be taken, anchors to be lifted and sails to be dropped, when they were done with this basic routines everyone went to the bow of the ship, were the island's shape could already be seen close enough.

"There's sure a lot of smoke coming up" Zoro commented.

"Maybe there's a fire on the woods or something" Franky commented from the helm.

Usopp took his goggles and zoomed his view closer to the shore, and gasped, there on the shore stood the remains of several s wrecked ships with smoke still trailing out, and Usopp could swear there were bodies sprawled all over the sand.

He explained what he saw, and everyone took turns with the binoculars, each one gasping at the sight. Finally Zoro, the one that usually and quietly reminded Luffy he was the one calling the shots said.

"it seems there was a fight of some sort… should we dock, sencho?" he asked

Luffy frowned and adjusted the hat over his head, he had seen the wreckage too, and as they approached they could make out the bodies and the damage taken on the rudimentary dock, whatever the danger, it was gone now, only the destruction remained, and he was curious at who had made this. In their path across the new world, they had came to find small island devastated after Eustass Kidd's visit, and several other islands that were protected before by Shirohige, now were consumed by pirates on the loose.

"We are going to take a closer look" The captain announced, and that was all the words the crew needed, they were soon docking, furling sails and dropping anchor as the stench and smoke could be breathed from the decks of the Sunny.

They were horrified by what they saw when they hit the shore, bodies sprawled, rotting, seagulls preying on decomposing flesh, wooden planks broken, pieces of masts buried on the sand, riggings sprawled, sails burned to ashes… and the stench.

Every straw hat covered their noses in their own unique way, Nami and Robin with her hands, Luffy with the underside of his arm, and everyone else made an effort to bear the sight they were witnessing.

"What the hell happened here" muttered Sanji glimpsing a body missing the lower half, what could be make out of its torso was a series of tattoos and a rugged strong built.

"I think these guys were pirates" Usopp said almost shaking, he had never witnesses such a gory battlefield, and while Robin looked unimpressed, she too was shocked by the sight.

Luffy had a serious look on his face, he suspected… no, he knew who had done this, and he confirmed it when he saw a couple of bodies that had been partially melted, and the stench, the terrible stench of sulfur. He stood frozen.

"I… I know who did this" he said quietly, eyes hidden by the brim of his hat.

That smell, he wouldn't forget that terrible smell, ever.

"Luffy?" Nami asked, when she noticed the way his shoulders tensed.

Bile tried to go up his esophagus but he held still, he couldn't let them see… couldn't let them witness what this sight did to him.

"What should we do, sencho" Zoro asked, more to try to snap Luffy out of his trance than to receive an order, he knew as much as Nami did, that something was wrong with the captain.

"Akainu" Luffy muttered with hate. "Only Akainu would do something like this"

Nami gasped and covered her mouth in horror, she knew Akainu was the one who executed Ace in front of Luffy, in fact… every crewmember knew this, it was proudly written on the newspaper they got more than two years ago describing the war at Marine Ford.

Luffy tilted his hat further down, a clear sign he was distressed, and spoke with a calm, collected and slow tone of voice "…everyone, please give this guys a proper burial… I need to take a walk"
He knew he was asking his crew a gruesome and difficult task, but he couldn't leave those people there, not because he particularly cared to honor the dead, but because they were there like trophies to show off, and he wouldn't let Akainu have that. He would help if not for the fact that he was about to break apart any second… that stench, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He started to walk away.

"Luffy!" Nami protested, taking a couple of steps his way.

He didn't turn around but muttered "Alone, Nami"

His dismissal hurt, and Nami looked at the floor with thin lips, wanting nothing than to follow him. She felt a comforting hand on her shoulder and turning around found Sanji's grim face.

"Come on Nami-san, Robin-chan, you two need to go back to the Sunny, there's no need for you ladies to see any more of this"

Nami walked reluctantly towards the ship, her eyes never leaving the fading back of her lover walking down the shore.

.

Luffy managed to hold together until he felt he was at a safe distance, he climbed some rocks coming out from the sea and took a seat, his eyes never leaving the horizon, trying to get comfort with the cold spray of the water hitting the rocks and the saline fresh wind.

That was until the wind decided to change, bringing with it the stench of rotten corpses, smoke and sulfur that he couldn't help but breathe making him double over as a wave of memories started to assault his mind. Memories of a bloody battlefield, memories of the dying body of his only brother with a gaping hole on his chest, memories of blood on his hands. He started to heave furiously onto the sea below.

"thank you for loving me…"

Memories that he had never forgotten but gotten over with replayed again and again on his mind, and he didn't understand why! He had trained, he had gotten stronger, he would stand face to face with Akainu soon, and he would never lose again.

What Luffy didn't know, it's that the kind of trauma he went through can trigger an episode of distress like the one he was suffering right now. Scars like that would heal, just like the one on his chest, but the pain of losing a beloved brother in such a cruel fashion would never go away, not with the stench of sulfur going on trough his nose.

"WAHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed in rage, in pain, in mental distress as he grabbed his head and doubled over, his forehead hitting the rocky surface.

Down the shore, everyone heard the pained scream and closed their eyes, looking down, Nami, who was about to board the Thousand Sunny stopped on her tracks.

"Hey marimo, shouldn't you talk with him?" Sanji said and then started to light yet another cigarette, hoping his cancer stick would help calm him down for the task ahead.

"tch,.. captain asked to be alone" And Zoro could only scratch his head in desperation. Oh how he wished Akainu was there right now, he knew the admiral's death wouldn't' bring Ace back, but he hoped presenting his captain with the guy's head was comfort enough since the Admiral wouldn't harm any person precious to them anymore.

Nami started to walk down the shore to Luffy's direction, never turning back nor caring when Zoro shouted behind her and reminded captain had wanted to be alone.

She found him in a pitiful state, doubled over above some rocks, with his back to her, she could tell he was retching furiously, but stopped when he could sense her presence.

"Go away" he said quietly, clutching his eyes shut and never turning around.

"I can't, Luffy" she said quietly.

He clenched his teeth in rage; he didn't want her to see him like this! He didn't want any of them to see him like that for that matter. Captains should be strong for their crew.

"Go away Nami!" he snarled, punching the floor in desperation, she approached with caution and kneeled besides him, her hand going to rest on his back.

With blood shot eyes and a hateful face he only reserved for his worst enemies he turned his face around towards Nami, his voice tick with emotion "Go away, it's an order"

"I refuse" she said simply while his arms gave up and his head dropped on the rocks, shoulders shaking, he couldn't believe Nami was doing this to him at a time like this.

"I'm your captain, do as I say" he said coldly.

The navigator sighed and started to stroke his back while he shook, never turning around to face her.

"Why…" he said brokenly "…I don't want you to see me like this… captains are supposed to be strong… captains can't go around crying because a bunch of dead bodies remind him of…" his voice faded,

"Luffy… I won't obey your order because… right now you are not my captain…" she said while she started to stroke his hair, trying to coax him to turn around and face her.

"then what…" he whispered brokenly.

"Luffy… right now… you don't need to be my captain..." she paused, giving his hair a long stroke
"right now...you are just the man I love… and I can't bear to see you hurting…"

That broke all the barriers he had left, his head found her lap and her fingers started to stroke his hair soothingly. He cried for several minutes to come, letting out his chest, bottled emotions and feelings he had pushed behind for the sake of training and getting stronger. She whispered soothing words and love filled promises born from the heart.

At the end, his mind filled with a sense of relief, he had come to terms with what happened to Ace two years ago, and now, he had his crew with him again to share adventures, happy memories, victories, battles and parties, but he just found out, that with Nami, he could also share his sorrows.

Sure he had loved Nami before landing on that fateful island, but as they departed two days later, with the captain sitting on the figure head –always facing ahead, never behind- his chest was filled with a sense of completeness he hadn't felt before. He had known he loved Nami, but he now knew he also needed her. He would ask Franky to remodel the almost unused storage room below the women's quarters.

Sure the guys had suggested they should get their own room –especially after getting caught in very awkward situations- but he had never felt the need for it. As much as he liked the feeling of sleeping with Nami on the same bed, he also enjoyed hanging out with the guys on their quarter.

Not anymore…

He was almost twenty one now, and nowhere near ready to settle down –if he ever came to that- and he didn't even understand what the commitment meant if asked. But he wanted to be with her, didn't want to expend another night without her. So with determination he stood up and yelled at the top of his lungs

"Oi Franky!"
