-I don't own One Piece but I own everything else.
Let the reading begin.
:
"I'm going to kill you. Both. With a baseball bat. And I'll dump your bodies in the river."
Nami glanced at the front seat.
"Chill Zoro. We're just making out. What we did the last time Sanji borrowed your car,was much worse."
He glared at the couple.
"That's it. I'm burning that back seat."
She smiled at him and kissed her fiancé again. Sanji kissed her back. They broke apart and he looked at Zoro.
"Shut up Marimo. Nobody cares about your damn car."
He sat up and pulled Nami to his lap.
"Hey Robin!Beer me."
Robin took a can off the cooler and gave it to him.
"Maybe we should stop and stretch our legs. We've been in this car for 2 hours straight."
Nami checked the map.
"There's a rest stop near. Maybe we co-Sanji,get your hand off there,I'm talking."
Zoro frowned.
"Okay,this is the last time I'm going on a road trip with you guys."
"Why is everything so expensive?"
Sanji smiled and kissed her forehead.
"It's a rest stop. I'd be surprised if it wasn't expensive."
Nami sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Yeah,but still..."
Frowning,she looked around.
"Hey,where's Zoro?And Robin?"
"Zoro is filling the tank and Robin is over there. You'll just go crazy if things aren't organized,right?"
"I just don't want to have problems in a foreign,unknown country!"
"Nami. We're just in another state."
"Well,yeah. But it's still unknown."
"You're too stressful."
"What?No,I'm not!"
"You are!"
She frowned at him,turned around and left.
"Hey!Nami!"
Sanji shook his head.
"Yep,I'll never get women."
Sanji looked over his shoulder and saw a tall man with a strong build and blue hair.He smiled.
"I'm Franky."
"Sanji."
"Girlfriend?"
"Fiancé."
"You poor bastard. Are you two traveling alone?"
"No,we're with my best friend and his sister on a road trip. You?"
"Me and my buddies picked up a RV and got on the road. Where are you guys goin'?"
"Nevada."
"Really?So are we!That's super!Maybe we should meet up later for some coffee?When your fiancé has cooled off."
"Good idea. Here's my card."
"Here's mine."
"Ship designer?That's cool."
They kept talking as they headed for the restaurant.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'va gotta make a livin'."
"Yeah,but this is way too expensive!"
The owner of the gas station shrugged. The green-haired man frowned and paid the owner who turned around,stuffing the cash on the front pocket of his shirt. Sighing,Zoro did the same.
And something ran into him.
Something orange.
"Nami?What the hell is wrong with you,woman?"
She glared at him.
"Give me the car keys."
"Why?"
"Gee,I don't know. Maybe to open the damn door!Because that's the only thing that keys do!"
He backed away,laughing.
"Okay,okay. Here. Don't need to get so pissed off."
She took them and got into the car,sitting in the back seat,arms crossed,looking out the window.
Zoro shrugged and walked towards the restaurant,hoping that they had steaks.
"Well,this isn't good."
Robin put the magazine in her hand back on the display shelves and walked out the store.
She looked around and found the Peugeot 307 they were traveling in. As expected,a certain redhead was inside. The archaeologist opened the door and sat next to her.
"Are you okay?"
"No."
"What happened?"
"He's an idiot. No,I'm an idiot. He said I was stressed and I yelled at him and..."
She shook her head.
"Maybe I am stressed. I didn't even want to come in this stupid trip. But he said it would be fun and I just didn't want to talk about it too much."
"You should go talk to him."
"I can't,not right now."
Robin put a hand on her back.
"Then you can do it when you're ready. Now come on. Let's get something to eat."
They got off the car and went towards the restaurant.
"They screwed this up"
Franky looked up at his new friend.
"You're eating a turkey sandwich. How can somebody screw up a turkey sandwich."
"The turkey is too dry,it has too much mayonnaise and the lettuce isn't fresh."
He raised an eyebrow at Sanji.
"You're on vacation and you're still acting like a cook."
The chef suddenly stopped eating.
"That sounds like something Nami would say."
"Oh come on,bro!You've been away from her,what,10 minutes?"
"I just..."
He shook his head.
All of a sudden,Zoro sat on the chair next to him.
"Yo. Who's the dude with the Mohawk?"
Franky groaned.
"It's a pompadour."
"Yeah,wh'ever."
Sanji sighed.
"Zoro,this is Franky. Franky,this is Zoro,my asshole of a friend."
The green-haired man smirked.
"So,what happened to Nami?"
"We had a fight."
"I knew it. I bet it was her fault."
"Shut up."
"I can't go in there."
Robin looked back.
"Why?"
"Sanji's there!With Zoro...And some freaky guy with a blue pompadour."
Nami looked around nervously. Spotting the forest,she smiled.
"I think I'm going for a walk in the woods. Yeah,that's it."
As the girl started walking towards the trees,Robin sighed.
"Don't get lost!" she shouted,as she opened the door to the restaurant.
"Walk in the woods. A walk in the woods. I didn't want to talk to him,so I went for a walk in the woods. Aargh,what was I thinking?I have to go back and talk to him!I. Have. To. Talk. To him."
Nami sighed as she leaned against a tree.
"I can't talk to him. I can't. I'm getting married to him,in six months,and I can't talk to him because we had a fight over me being a stressful bitch. And now I'm talking to myself in the middle of a damn forest. Yay me."
She shook her head and continued to walk.
Suddenly a old man,wearing rags and with long hair and beard.,appeared in front of her. His hair was gray from the years and his skin was full of wrinkles. But his eyes. His eyes were alive. Shining. Crazed.
He grabbed her wrist.
"Get away!Away!Away from Egean Town!Don't go!"
"What the hell?Get away from me!"
The old man took out a knife and pressed it slightly against her throat.
"DON'T.DON'T!"
Nami screamed. She quickly kicked the elder on the shin and started to run away.
Leaping over dead branches and ducking to avoid alive ones,she kept running as fast as she could,until she got to the rest stop.
"Why won't you shut up?"
Sanji glared a Zoro again. The green-haired man sighed.
"Hey,c'mon!Are you seriously marrying her?"
"I can't believe you won't shut up!"
"I mean,she's evil,man!"
"Just shut up already!"
As they left the restaurant,they kept fighting. Robin was simply eating her sandwich and walked behind them. Franky was just confused with the whole situation.
The archaeologist smiled at him.
"Don't worry. They had this discussion 62 times already,and it always ends in a tie. But I know they are best friends."
The ship designer frowned.
"Actually I'm worried about the fact that I've know you for less than half an hour and I'm already in a situation like this."
"Ah. Once,they did this in front of our grandmother. She wasn't very happy."
He glanced at her like she was crazy.
Sanji glared at Zoro and walked away from him."
Suddenly Nami came running into the cook,who barely had time to catch her.
"N-Nami?"
"Sanjitherewasanoldmaninthewoodsandheattackedwithaknifeandtoldmetostayawayfromegeantownandithoughtiwasgoingtodieanditwasreallyscaryandionlywantedtocomebackto
youandsayiwassorryforbeingabitchandfightingwithyouallthetimeandi-"
"Hey,hey!Calm down and speak slower."
"Sanji,there was an old man in the woods and he attacked me with a knife and told me to stay away and I thought I was going to die and it was really scary!"
"What?Nami,how many cans of beer did you drink on the way over?"
"No!I'm not drunk!He attacked me Sanji!I didn't know what to do and I was really scared and..."
She buried her head into his chest and began to cry. He saw that there was a small cut on her neck.
"Oh my god!Robin,call the cops!Zoro,open the the car door for me. Yeah,the backseat."
Robin shook her head.
"My cell phone reception is none. I can't."
Sanji picked up Nami bridal style and got into the car.
Franky sighed.
"I'm sorry to leave you like this but my friends are waiting."
The archaeologist smiled.
"Don't worry. You can go."
He walked off. Robin glanced at her brother,while getting into the car.
"Zoro,get in the car and drive. I'll call 911 as soon as I can."
He nodded.
"Right."
He got in,closed the door,and started the engine.
Sanji kept hugging Nami on the back seat. She was still shaking.
"I just wanted to come back to you."
"You're okay. I'm here."
"I was so scared."
"I know."
"I'm sorry for that stupid fight."
"It wasn't your fault."
She slided her arms over his neck.
"It was."
"It doesn't matter."
"It does."
She sobbed quietly,hugging him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Were the hell are we?"
"Ssh!She's sleeping."
Zoro looked over his shoulder. Nami had fallen asleep,crying,on Sanji's arms.
He frowned.
"Sorry. Does anyone know where we are?" he said,lowering his voice.
Robin looked around.
"There's a sign there."
"What does it say?"
"Err...It says..."Welcome to Egean Town"."
Suddenly the car stopped.
"Unbelievable."
Zoro stepped out of the car and kicked the wheel.
"Stop that!" said Sanji,also getting out,carrying Nami.
"You'll wake her up."
"Yeah,I think she's slept enough."
The sun was setting on the horizon. Robin closed the car door and smiled.
"It's not that bad."
"Our car broke down and it's almost night. What's good about that."
"At least we're in a town and not in the middle of nowhere."
He groaned.
"C'mon. Let's find an hotel."
"I think we're in front of one."
Zoro turned around and saw the building.
"Oh. Okay."
They entered the building. The lobby was beautiful. The floor was made of white marble tiles and it had cream walls. The reception desk was dark wood,with gold lines. Behind it,sat a woman in her mid-twenties. She was wearing a red coat and smiled at them.
"Can I help you?"
Sanji grinned.
"I'm thinking of a thousand ways you can."
Zoro stepped in front of him.
"Ah,for Pete's sake. You are holding your sleeping fiancé in your arms."
Robin smiled.
"Hey,if she was awake,he wouldn't be alive right now."
Sanji frowned.
"Ah,ah,ah. Very funny."
She smiled again and turned to the receptionist.
"Our car broke down in front. Could you call someone?Oh,and we need three rooms. Two singles and a double."
"Very well. Here are your keys. I'll call in an instant."
Sanji grabbed his key.
"I'm going to our room. I need to put her in bed."
Robin walked after him ans took the key off his hand.
"I'll go with you. It's kinda hard to open a door when you're holding someone."
"Thanks."
"Here we are."
Robin quickly opened the door to the room. Sanji entered and placed Nami gently on the bed.
He took the key from the archaeologist. She smiled and turned around.
"I'm going back to help Zoro with the bags."
"Right. I'll just stay here. With her. Bye."
"Bye."
She went out and closed the door behind her.
The cook looked down and grimaced. There was blood on his shirt and it was still wet. He took it off and looked through the window. Night.
"The hell with it. I'm tired,anyway."
He lied down on the bed,next to his fiancé,and closed his eyes,trying to sleep.
"Hey!"
Nami woke up with knocking on the door and a shouting Zoro.
She looked around the unknown room. Her eyes rested for moments on the sleeping blond next to her.
She got up and opened the door,frowning.
"What?"
"Ah. You're awake. Here are your bags."
"Oh,you're being polite. Quite surprising. Where are we,anyway?"
"In a hotel. Some town in the middle of nowhere. The car broke down."
She slammed the door on his face. He groaned.
"Oh,thank you Zoro. It was very kind of you to bring the bags." he said,sarcastically. He turned around and went down the stairs.
"Hey,bro!"
He looked around and saw Franky.
"Hey!What are you doing here?"
"Our RV broke down."
"Seriously?Our car broke down too."
"Whoa. Major coincidence."
Robin frowned.
"Too much of a coincidence."
The ship designer shrugged.
"Whatever you say. Hey,me and my buddies are going to look for a restaurant. Wanna come."
Zoro grinned.
"Sure. Why not?"
"Okay,I'll introduce ya. That guy in the straw hat is Luffy. He's in college. The one with the pink hat is Chopper. He's a doctor. The afro one is Brook. Musician. Long nose,Usopp. Mechanic. Guys,these are Zoro and...Robin?Yeah,Robin."
The boy named Luffy grinned.
"What do you guys do?"
Zoro shrugged.
"She's an archaeologist and I'm unemployed."
Franky looked around.
"Hey,where's the other two?And how's the girl doing?"
"I have no idea. When I went to gave them the bags,she opened the door and Sanji was immobile in the bed. He must've fall asleep. Well,either that or she killed him."
Robin elbowed him in the stomach.
"What?It's possible."
"No,it's not."
She smiled at them.
"Shall we go?I'm starving."
"Hi."
Sanji smiled at his fiancé.
"Hi. What time is it?"
"8 P.M.."
"So I've been asleep for two hours."
He glanced at her.
"How are you?"
"Better."
He kissed her.
"Good. I got worried."
"But I bet that didn't stop you from flirting with the receptionist."
"What?Of course I didn't!"
"Seriously?"
"Err...No."
She punched him in the arm.
"Idiot."
"Look,I may flirt once in a while-"
"Once in a while?"
"Okay,I may flirt a lot of times. But you are the only one I ever loved."
She smiled.
"That's sweet. But you're still an idiot."
"Maybe. Shouldn't we get out of bed and go meet Zoro and Robin?"
Nami hugged him.
"Nah. I can think of better things to do,with our time."
"Whoo,naughty."
"I can't believe the only decent restaurant around here was a Burger King."
Zoro groaned.
"I hate Burger King. Why not a McDonald's?"
Robin smiled.
"That didn't stop you from eating six cheeseburgers."
"I was hungry."
"You eating the seventh right now."
"I'm still hungry. Don't nag at me. Luffy ate at least a dozen."
"Yeah,but I didn't pay for Luffy."
"Give me a break,the gas was expensive."
Franky laughed.
"Maybe we should go back to the hotel."
Luffy grinned.
"Yeah,I wanna check out the mini-bar!"
Robin nodded silently. As they headed for the hotel,she looked around. Spotting a dark crimson stain on a wall she shivered.
"Is it...Blood?"
"Hey,sis!Are you okay?"
She looked back at Zoro.
"I'm fine. Must be my imagination."
Glancing over her shoulder once in a while,she kept walking.
