CHAPTER 1: THE BLANKET

As the THOUSAND SUNNY sailed leasurly through the GRANDLINE seas a young woman at the age of 19 stood at the helm of the ship. Her long bright orange hair waved in the Light warm salty breeze of the day. Spyglass gripped in one hand and Logpose in the other.

"Hey guys I can see an island up ahead!" called Zoro through the intercom from up in the crow's nest. Everyone shouted and cheered with excitement, and none MORE SO than their HYPER ACTIVE CAPTAIN.

As Luffy springs up to the helm with his GOMU GOMU powers. He lands next to Nami with a bound. His cheery mood had been affecting everyone today. A grin plastered on his face he turns to Nami and asks.

"So can we get there by COPE DE BURST?"

Nami looked through her spyglass and shook her head 'no' and answered.

"Nuh-uh...by the looks of it there are marines docked in the harbore..."

She looked to where Luffy was standing at before, but he had gone. Luffy had ran over to Sunny's head to wait impaciently for the new adventure to arrive.

"GAAH... that morron." she muttered angerly to herself. Her hand clenched into a fist ready to pumble him to a bloody pulp.

However lucky for Luffy's sake Robin had stepped up to her and asked.

"Navigator-san? How long until we make land-fall?"

Nami glanced over at her before checking the sun's posison and said

"Oh about three to five hours tops." she smiled. Robin returned the smile before she went back to sit in her lawn chair.

"Thank you that's all I needed to know..."

Nami gave her a questioning look, but then soon shrugged it off after. Her attention then went back to Luffy's smiling face, eagerly awaiting the new adventure. She couldn't help but to smile too. His mood was envaloping and shining like a star, it made everyone else feel the same way.

Luffy glanced over his sholder for an instant and saw a still smiling Nami leaning on the side rail. He then looked back streight ahead again and thought.

'Did she always have a great smile like that before?...'

He wondered about this for awhile before he heard someone call his name.

"Hey Luffy wanna go fishing?" it was Ussop waving up at his Captain for an answer.

"You bet!" Luffy shouted as he stretched for his near by poll and hopped off of Sunny's head.

The two men then raced to the side of the ship. There they were joined later by the ship's doctor, a blue noesed human-reindeer. Chopper.

Time flown by so fast it was already night time and dinner had just begun.

"Lucky catch." commeted Franky as he eyed the huge slice of seaking meat on the table.

"Aa...but I bet I could catch a bigger one." spoke Zoro with a smug grin.

Luffy just laughed at the challenge though and continued stuffing and stealing food whenever anyone was not looking.

When he got to Nami though he stopped and thought about the smile she had gave him earlier. Then smiled and stretched his arm back. Not taking Nami's food he grinned then continued stealing the other's food instead.

'I'll let her slide.. Just this once, since she gave me such a great smile.' He thought to himself. Unfortunatly this little act did not go unnoticed by some of the crew.

Zoro, Robin, Brooke, and Franky saw the whole thing and chuckled to themselves seeing this rare site. Luffy having the chance to steal food and 'NOT' take it, now that was a surprise.

After dinner was over and Luffy got his beatings for stealing food from Sanji's plate. The crew snuck their ship to the other side of the island to a well hiddin cove surounded by huge cliffs.

Since it was so late everyone had decided to go to bed, except Nami and Luffy. Luffy was WAY too excited to go to sleep and Nami had decided to finish one of her maps from the last island. When she was done she headed for the girls quarters, It had been hours of work but it had been completed. As she walked along the halls and headed to the stairs she stopped when she noticed someone sitting on the main mast's stool snoring loudly and finally fast asleep.

Sighing to herself she thought 'That morran's gonna get sick.' All he wore was a loose cartagen blouce, shorts, and sandles. This island was a seasonal island but it was freezing tonight.

Obviously Nami was prepared for the cold weather as she wore a long sleeved lime green sweatter with a pink rose imbroardery on the callor. Sighing she decided to go grab a warm blanket from the girls quarters. As she entered the room she assumed Robin would have been asleep.

WRONG!

Robin had been reading a long novel about some island's mistery until she heard the door open.

"Oh Navigator-san...heading to bed?"

"Uh...No...just getting a blanket." responded Nami while looking through a closet. She wished Robin would stop asking questions and just leave her alone. But Robin was like a sister to Nami and as sisters do Robin would tease her from time to time.

"Oh...for you or Captain-kun out there?" pryed a grinning Robin, her hand resting under her chin.

Nami blushed a bit before speaking. She was really nervous about where this conversation was headed.

"For...for me!" stuttered Nami as she skerried out the door not bothering to look back at Robin.

Robin had watched her go before heading to the window to sit in her chair.

"Yeah right..." she chuckled as she sipped her caffee once more, then headed off to bed.

As Nami headed to the mast she could almost hear Robin's chuckles from behind her.

'Stupid Robin...so what if I'm doing this. It's none of her business...' she thought as she walked along the grassy lawn deck.

"Um... Nami?"

"EEEP!" she screamed spining around to slap who ever was behind her. This unfortunate person just happened to be Luffy though. his head was flung from his shoulders and hitting the deck before retracting back into place. (like a paddelball.)

"AAAAAAAH! WHY'D YOU DO THAT!" shouted Luffy as he sat on the ground and rubbed his cheek like mad.

"Oh my gosh!", spoke Nami realizing what she had done. She squated down next to him and said

"I'm SO sorry Luffy you just scared me..." she said with an apologetic look on her face.

"Well you didn't half'ta slap me silly like that." He huffed still rubbing his cheek lightly as the pain subsided.

Nami paused for a moment before giggling at his choice of words. 'Slap me silly' does not apply to a guy like Luffy.' she thought. This fact made her laugh even more.

"Hey! What are you laughing at!?" complained Luffy slantting his eyes at her.

" heh,heh S-Sorry L-Luffy but you're always silly." she heved as she laughed.

"Hey... that was pretty rude Nami." He huffed turnning away from her.

"Sorry, sorry" she spoke calming herself down. "It's just that what you said caught me off gaurd." she smiled.

"Humph" pouted Luffy crossing his arms. He then noticed something in Nami's right hand.

"So what's with the blanket?" He asked turnning and pointing to it.

Nami blushed in embarassment before speaking and answered "Well it was for you but..."

"HUH? why give me a blanket?" asked a curious but confused Luffy, tilting his head in wonder.

"Idiot aren't you cold out here?" spoke an annoyed Nami.

Luffy:...

Nami:...

"COLD!" Luffy shouted as he just realized it was 38 degrees out. He quickly wrapped the blanket around himself and sighed in comfort. A cold wind blew over the two and caused Nami to shiver. Luffy saw this and grinned as an idea came to his mind.

Nami had got a bit of a shock when Luffy wrapped half of the blanket around her also.

"Hey what the-?" she spoke as she looked at him still a bit shaken.

"I'll walk you back to your room." he chuckled.

Nami's face had gone red for a moment before sighing with a nodd.

As they stood up and headed to the girls quarters Nami began to blush again at the closeness between themselves. Luffy was but mear inches away from her. The blanket wasn't very big enough for two people either so it was a tight fit. However Luffy just had a huge smile like always.

This made Nami relax a bit and smiled too as they walked. When they got to the door Luffy took her half of the blanket back. Nami only looked at him confused though.

"Hey you don't need that blanket any more!" stated Nami as she pointed at said blanket.

"Oh yes I do!" he retorted "I'm on watch tonight." He stated with pride placing his two fists on his sides.

(Think of Superman pose)

He only recieved a bonk on the head from Nami though.

"OW! WHY'D YOU HIT ME !?" He yellped rubbing his new found bump ontop of his head.

"For falling asleep on watch dumbass." she huffed now crossing her arms. "What if something happens to us or more importantly you!" she continued.

"I would kick anybody's asses if anything happened to you or the others." he stated pumping a fist in the air as the blanket slipped from his arms and fell to the deck.

Nami blushed at the thought of Luffy saving her but then shook it off.

'Why is my heart pounding?'she wondered very confused now.

"And I know you guys would save me if I couldn't beat them." he added turning to look at her. his smile never wavering.

Nami wanted to smile at his simple minded reasons, But she had to stay ferm with him. He had the brain of an ameba sometimes so...

BONK!

"Protect us Captain." she smiled with an 'Almost' stern voice.

"As Luffy recovered from his beating he looked up at her face and a smile fell upon his.

"Okay... No sleep tonight." He said picking up the blanket and pumping a less enthusiastic fist in the air.

This made Nami smile once more before turning to the door and said.

"That's good to hear...well thanks for walking me back here. See you in the morning." she waved as she entered the doorway.

"Aa!" he shouted waving goodbye and walking off back to the lawn deck.

As Nami shut the door she could feel her heartbeat pounding away at her chest.

'Why does he make me so... nervous?'
she thought to herself as she changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed.

"Oh well... It doesn't matter... anyway..." she muttered as she fell asleep for the night.

Luffy had walked up to the crow's nest (a.k.a the gym) and plopped down on the couch.

'I don't know what it is but lately I'm more happier when I'm with Nami.' he thought as he leaned onto the window frame pulling the blanket close to him.

"I wonder why that is?" He mumbled before looking back to the sea. Trying to keep his promise to Nami.

"ACHOO! sure is cold though..."

Little did Luffy know that a sertan green haird swordsman was sitting on the oposite side of the room watching him with his one eye and a small grin.
