{{{Goodbye Nami}}}

December 25

"There's a huge snowstorm coming! Run to shelter!"

"Oi! What about the ship Nami?!"

"Shut up, Franky! It'll survive! Besides, there are Navy Soldiers outside! The pirates were already defeated by you stupid and of course, WE HAVE TO RUN!"

"Nami-swan! Let me protect you with my life!"

"Sanji! Now's not the time! The building will get destroyed! Let's hurry towards the back door and we'll defeat them later!"

"Aww... I wanted to fight them! I'm still not satisfied yet!"

"Luffy! You're hurt badly! You can't fight! I'll treat your wounds when we find safe shelter!"

"I wonder if we'll get hurt and bleed to death by those pirates.."

"SHEESH ROBIN! STOP SCARING US! Just hearing it makes me shiver!"

"Yohohoho! Let us sing a song about survival in the cold depths of weather! And Nami-san, may I see your panties?"

"SHUT UP BROOK! AND NO!? NOW'S NOT THE TIME! AND ZORO! GET YOUR ASS UP! YOU'RE SERIOUSLY SLEEPING AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!"

"Oh.. what happened?"

"STUPID ZORO! WE'RE IN A MIDDLE OF A DISASTER HERE! GET YOUR ASS UP HERE AND RUN WITH US!"

The Strawhat Crew just went to an island in Grand Line and like always, saving the country from pirates. Nami predicted there'll be a hurricane and maybe a cyclone in the sea, since the building they were currently in was very indeed close to the water.

The exit had a path that leads outside, a whole lot safer than the front outside. They ran towards the exit, as soon as Nami dropped her weapon. "Ah, I dropped my weapon, wait!"

She kneeled down for her weapon.. until she froze with a surprised look on her face. Chopper was the only one who waited for her, as the others kept running. He stood there silently and opened his jaw. Chopper couldn't resist to see this scene and as soon she fell down to the floor with a pile of blood around her, he screamed.


"Chopper! What happened?! Are-" Sanji's words stopped and he stared at the lifeless body.

Luffy smiled at the others. "Oi! What happened-" he immediately saw the orange haired girl who laid down into the pool of blood. "W-What happened..?" Zoro looked really stunned. "Nami...san?" Brook and Robin said quietly.

Everyone screamed but Luffy was the loudest, "NAMI!"

Everyone tears streamed down their faces. While everyone stayed silent, Luffy kneeled down, put Nami in his arms and shouted in anger and sadness, "NAAMII! WHO DID THIS TO YOU! TELL ME NAMI! DON'T YOU DIE ON ME! IF YOU DIE ON ME, I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! LIVE! NAMI! I WILL SEEK REVENGE FOR YOU! WHO THE HELL DID THIS TO YOU?!"

He repeatedly shouted her name and cried. One of his tears fell onto Nami's face and..he heard a weak voice.

"L-Luffy...?"

Luffy tears fell down, dropping each and every one of them onto her beautiful smooth face. He smiled. "Nami! You're alive! Wait, Nami. Stay still! Chopper'll treat you!"

Chopper rushed towards her and opened his bag. "No, it's okay Chopper... I don't have much time to live anyway.."

"What are you saying Nami?!" Luffy shouted. "Chopper will certainly save you!"

Robin walked to Nami. "Remember our promise.. Nami..?" she said, tears falling down. Nami smiled, coughing blood. "I really remember the promise..." her tears slowly fell from her cheeks and smiled. "Luffy.."

Robin walked out of their sight where Luffy's back is showing. You go girl, I hope you say it... she thought.


2 Months Ago..

"Hey, do you like Luffy?" Robin asked as she took a sip of her tea. She flipped through the pages and Nami closed the door and blushed. "N-No! Shut up Don't say this out loud!"

Robin chuckled. "Sorry, Sorry! But you seriously like him right?"

Nami's cheeks flushed and smiled. "Um... yes. I really love Luffy... I began to have feelings for him when he saved me and defeated Arlong and his crew. I was really happy..."

She smiled. "What do you like about him? How did you fall for him?"

"Of course, he saved me, gave me his hat, and I immediately fell for him. I mean it is his treasure, so he wouldn't let anyone touch his hat. When he placed the hat onto my head, I felt really special... and what I like about him.. sorry but his stupidity. Not that I hate it but his stupidity got us somewhere and he helped us win any battle. He's always there for us.."

"True. His stupidity helps save everything."

"Ah... it's already three... I have to go to sleep... I bet Luffy's outside the door right now trying to get into our refrigerator. Wait please don't tell me... HE HEARD US?!"

Robin smiled. "He's sleeping right now. I used my Hana-Hana Fruit earlier and looks like he really is sleeping. Want me to check again?"

"Sure."

She checked again and when she was done, she smiled. "All clear. He's still sleeping."

She canceled her powers and picked her book up. "So. When're you going to confess your feelings to him?"

Nami twisted her long hair and put strands of hair behind her ear. "Eh... I don't know.. is it weird for a crew member to fall in love with their captain?"

Robin hesitated and shook her head. "You see, I kind of love Zoro. Even though it is two different things, it doesn't matter. If you love him, go for it!"

Nami gasped and smiled. "You love Zoro? He's such a blockhead! But I see why you pick the swordsman. You have really good taste in men. I'm going to confess this Christmas!" She laughed and Nico smiled, blushing. "Thanks! I'm thinking of confessing to him on Christmas time!"

Nami smiled. "Really. Then I will cheer you on!" Robin laughed. "You too! Let's promise when one of us confess, then we will cheer the other one on and confess!"

Nami smiled cheerfully. "Yes!" the two smiled and childly pinky promise.

They both shouted in unison. "It's a promise!"


"NAMI!" Luffy shouted. Nami smiled, even though blood was coming out. "Luffy.." she softly whispered. "Luffy.. thank you so much for being there for me.. when I met you... I hate you... especially when you stated that you were a pirate..."

Luffy sat there crying. "Nami..?" he whispered.

"Luffy... you saved my village and the scar from my heart is there but I felt a whole lot better... because you destroyed the room I cried in.. annhilihated the things and people I hate... you erased my worries and I'm really glad... whenever I needes you.. you helped me.. especially when I was sick.. you tried to do stuff... amazingly stupid stuff..."

She moved her hand to Luffy's face. "I don't think I have much time to live yet... but I'll say this once so you have really listen..."

Luffy touched her hand that was on his cheek and when he did, she said the rhree words that'll surprise anyone with those words,

"I love you."

Robin, filled with tears smiled. "Nami..."

"I love when you fight... and even when your stupid and not use your head... you somehow always save the day... the country... towns.. especially the ruckess you made at Marineford... I'm so sorry you lost your important brother... now you're losing your important nakama right before your eyes... I'm sorry... Luffy..."

Luffy was filled with sadness and anger. "DON'T FEEL SORRY! DON'T APOLOGIZE! DON'T CRY AND DON'T DIE ON ME! IT'S MY FAULT I DIDN'T PROTECT YOU AND IF I WAS RUNNING BEHIND YOU, THIS WOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED! IF GOD WAS HERE I WOULD TELL HIM THAT I WILL TAKE YOUR SUFFERING AND YOU CAN STAY HEALTHY AND ALIVE!"

Nami smiled. "I'm not going to just apologize... I'm not going to say goodbye... instead I will say..."

"Thank you for being with me throughout all these years until now... and see you later... Luffy... in heaven... I will rest in peace... and please don't cry... see you... and..."

"I love you..." she smiled and put her hand in a position (like aye aye captain?) up to her forehead. "Captain Luffy... now... LIVE! NO MATTER WHAT CAPTAIN LUFFY!"

Suddenly her hand fell from Luffy's warm cheek and it left him spotless. Everyone was looked and stared at Luffy. They all knew he was going to scream and cry. They knew he was going to seek revenge for her and avenge her death...

"Luffy..." Chopper softly said. Luffy couldn't hold back the tears. "I-I couldn't save her... I couldn't protect her... I couldn't even answer to her feelings... I'm horrible as the captain am I?"

Robin kneeled down next to him. "Luffy..."

Luffy then stood up and yelled. "WHO KILLED MY PRECIOUS NAVIGATOR?! WHO HAD THE GUTS TO KILL NAMI?! SHOW YOURSELF! I WILL AVENGE HER DEATH RIGHT NOW! GET YOUR ASS OUT BACK HERE AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW FRIGHTENING I AM WHEN YOU HURT.. NO KILL MY NAKAMA. HURTING GETS ME PISSED OFF. KILLING MY NAKAMA... YOU JUST PISS ME OFF EVEN MORE! I JUST WILL END UP KILLING YOU AND HURTING YOU, AND MAYBE THROW YOU INTO THE OCEAN, EVEN IF YOU'RE DEAD."

Luffy growled in anger and glared. "GET YOUR ASS IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW! I WILL BEAT SOME SENSE OUT OF YOU, YOU STUPID SHITTY ASSHOLE!"

Everyone stood there, crying and some even fell. Brook who had no eyes, showed an emotionless expression, and looked sad. He cried. Usopp and Chopper fell down and cried so much, covering their faces. Sanji stood there, opened his jaw. It's obvious he lost his "future wife", or the girl he loved.

Zoro dropped his swords in surprise and stared at the lifeless body Luffy held in his dear arms. Franky was really stunned and couldn't cry his eyes out. He took off his sunglasses and dropped them. He cursed to himself angrily.

Brook was really stunned, couldn't play the violin because if he did, it would make the situation worse, after all, their very own crew member died. He was too surprised to do anything.

Finally... Nico Robin. She was smiling. Not because of her death. It was because of her promise with her. No matter what happened, she were to confess to Luffy...but Robin was really sad of her death. She was smiling, yes. But she was also crying. Her tears overflowed her cheeks and cried. "You promised... me... no matter what happened... but why now? I even planned something out for you two.." she whispered.

She fell down in despair. "Why did you die...? Nami... please come back to us..."

She buried her face into her cold hands. Luffy screamed, "IF YOU SERIOUSLY DIE, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED YOUR FEELINGS YET! COME BACK!"

"Luffy..."

Luffy turned around, seeing Robin crying and smiling. "Let's go... bring her body... no matter what.."

He stared at her with despair. "What?"

She wasn't smiling anymore. "HURRY UP! LET'S ESCAPE! THERE'S NO TIME TO BE CRYING! LET'S HURRY! SHE TOLD US TO LIVE NOW HURRY UP!" she got up and ran, crying.

"Robin!" Luffy shouted in tears. Luffy picked the dead body and ran with Robin, as well as the others.


December 26

Robin got up from her praying position and bowed. She walked back towards the ship. Luffy was the only one left praying in Nami's grave. Everyone had finished praying to Nami in their grave. Her grave had so many flowers, and some were decorated on her grave. Bellemere's oranges were placed on her grave. "Goodbye..." Luffy whispered. "I'm sorry I didn't have time to answer your feelings... I felt like commiting suicide... I mean... I couldn't accept the fact that you died... I need you... especially to navigate..."

He covered his face. "Only if I protected you... I hope you are in a better place now... take care...goodbye... I will certainly avenge you..." he stood up and walked towards the ship. "I will avenge your death..." he whispered to himself.

"Luffy, you done..?" Usopp asked softly. He nodded slightly. "Let's visit her grave next year... i want to visit her grave every year..."

Zoro scratched his head. "I don't know... whether we should celebrate Christmas or not..."

Robin blurted out, "let's celebrate Christmas here and then leave tomorrow..."

Luffy smiled slightly and said, "sure." Usopp grabbed a tree and placed it next to her grave. "Merry Christmas, Nami... everyone."

Then everyone yelled, "Merry Christmas!"

Things were never the same without Nami but everyone tried to stay strong for Nami and they had to let go of the past.

To be honest, Luffy was the one feeling depression out of all of the crew members. He felt hurt of course, because Nami felt this way for her very own captain.

Robin decided to keep her feelings until it's time. She knows today's not the right time since it's too silent for that and it's too much pain to hold.


Nami's POV

To be honest I really was scared I was going to die... now that I did, I've turn into a ghost... but I'm in a better place now right?

I'm at a place where I can see Bellemere again... as well as my real parents... dying cleanse all of my wounds and pains and now I'm smiling but really hurt... I feel really sad and I feel like I want to die again... because I had hurt my crew and they don't even accept my death.

Is that the true meaning of friendship? Why my God, if I were to die, why did you make them feel such sorrow and pain? I don't want to die with them sad.

But it doesn't matter whether or not I'm dead. It doesn't matter whether I regret things or not. I'm in a better place now...

Well, I lived through my life without regrets, just how I want. I let go of the past... and I understand what happened.

I hugged Luffy behind and I guess he doesn't notice... well he looked around as if something were there... did he sense me..?

I was crying when he said he felt something on my back. What made me cry even harder was that he said it might be me hugging him from behind. I was seriously happy. But it's obvious he won't smile either way. I bet he misses me very much and might want me to come back...

Unless he smiles, I'd be able to rest in peace... so I'll follow him everywhere until he smiles.. then I'll watch him from Heaven..

It's too hard to accept my fate... but I'll just have to deal with it... well then...

Well, I'll be leaving... and talking to God.. and the other angels... well then... bye Strawhat Crew... I'll come back to the ship later on...
