Hey guys, it's me, The Goon. For a while now, I've wanted to do a One Piece romance fanfic, and now I've started. It's currently rated T, but depending on what happens in the story, it may be changed to M.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece.
Story: After the events of Alabasta, and before the events of Skypiea, something happened between Nami and one of her crewmates.
"Man, nothing exciting has been happening lately!" moaned Luffy. He was lying on his back with his arms up and hands behind his head. The gentle breeze of the Grand Line blew through his long black hair, and while normal people would find this relaxing, it made Luffy have a bigger urge to get into action. He could not sit still. "8 days of being out on the ocean and nothing has turned up!" "I dunno, Luffy," replied Usopp, who was sitting with his legs crossed beside him, "after all that work we did in Alabasta, this is kind of a nice break!" "We HAD a nice break for a few days, but now we need action!"
Zoro sat criss cross on the other side of the deck, holding up 6 barrels of metal inside. He had to get strong enough so he can always cut through steel like he did with Mr.1. He even had Tony Tony Chopper sit on top of the barrels in his beast form to add to the intensity. Sanji was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the Straw Hat Crew. Nico Robin was sitting with Nami simply chatting.
"It's just been so plain around here lately," said Luffy to Usopp. "Here's an idea, Luffy," said Usopp, "we should all just relax and hit the next beach we find!" Luffy groaned. "First off, Usopp, it's not likely we'll get ANYWHERE soon. Second, I can't swim in the first place!" Usopp laughed. "You don't have to swim to go to the beach. You could get a tan, or play beach ball…it's not all about the water!" "Well I need more action, not beaches!"
"WAHOO! LET'S PLAY VOLLEYBALL!" shouted Luffy. Eventually, the Merry Go came across a small, uninhabited island with a perfect beach. Luffy, Robin, and Chopper could not swim because of their Devil Fruit Powers, so they mostly stayed on the sand. Everyone else had been playing in the water when they heard Luffy call a game. Itching for action, they all got the volleyball and set up the teams.
Zoro's strength had increased since Alabasta. This was made evident when he served the ball straight into Usopp's face. "What was THAT for, Zoro?" he asked with a bloody nose and broken teeth. Sanji kicked it up and it was falling towards Luffy. Luffy swallowed it and spat it back towards Usopp, who was hit in the face once again. "WHAT KIND OF GAME IS THIS?" cried Usopp. "Weren't you listening, Usopp?" Luffy said with a smile. Zoro caught on and played along. "We all agreed to play 'Kill Usopp' before we got off the ship!" "THAT'S NOT FAIR!" shouted Usopp, as Zoro and Luffy laughed hysterically.
But when Nami went to spike the ball to the other side, that's when things changed…for the guys anyway. Well, Sanji was always hopelessly in love with Nami…or any woman that he met. But Usopp couldn't help but blush when he saw Nami's melons bouncing up and down. Zoro went numb when he got a view of her perfect body in her bikini. Luffy's heart skipped a beat when he saw the smile on her face when she ready to land.
Unfortunately, she didn't land very successfully. Instead of falling on her two feet, she twisted her ankle and landed face first in the sand. Everyone including Chopper and Robin (despite they had no romantic feelings for Nami) gasped in shock. First off, it wasn't very much like Nami to be so careless about herself. Normally she could land perfectly on the ground like nobody's business. Secondly, their beloved navigator wasn't recovering as fast as she normally could.
She was still conscious. It was just that her vision was blurry from hitting her head. She could hear the rest of the Straw Hat Crew hurrying over to help her. "NO! DON'T DIE, NAMI!" shouted Luffy and Sanji at the same time. "IDIOTS!" shouted Zoro, "SHE'S NOT GONNA DIE! SHE JUST NEEDS TO REST HER HEAD A BIT! AND GET SOMETHING FOR HER ANKLE!" "Whew," said Luffy and Sanji, "that's a relief!" "Chopper!" shouted Usopp, "Get some bandages from the ship!" "Sure thing, Usopp!" said Chopper. He took the rowboat they used to get from the island to the Merry Go and he went to look for bandages.
In the meantime, Robin got a long chair for Nami to rest in, as Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji all carried her to Robin. "I'm fine, guys…" said Nami quietly. "No you're not!" said Sanji, "You can't walk and you're still dizzy! We gotta help you, Nami!" They slowly dropped her on the chair that Robin had prepared for her. "Just relax, Nami," said Luffy, "Chopper will be back with some bandages real soon!" Nami smiled and laid her head down. "Thanks, you guys," she whispered quietly. So while Chopper was looking for bandages and the rest of the crew sat by Nami waiting patiently, she closed her eyes and relaxed.
Hopefully you enjoyed it, and stay tuned for Chapter 2!
