I'm sorry for any OCC-ness from the characters. I'm not as familiar with character interactions in One Piece as in Bleach or Fullmetal Alchemist. Also, I know this probably isn't a very original story line. ^__^"

Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece. If I did, there would be way less talking. O__O" Sometimes it gets really hard to follow what's going on because of it. Or maybe that's just me.

Enjoy. :3

"Ah."

Nami glanced at the Captain. He was sitting up, a slightly dazed look in his eyes. Not that he never looked dazed.

"Sweet dreams Luffy?" she chuckled. Seems that Luffy might have actually had a nightmare. Well, that's what he gets for eating all of the food, she mused. Because of him, they actually had to stop to replenish supplies. She really had to buy Sanji a better lock for the refrigerator.

"Don't think so," the captain replied.

Nami decided to desert the subject. "You're going to miss lunch you know," she commented. Luffy's head swiveled towards her for a split second before he made a dash to kitchen.

"WHERE'S MY MEAT SANJI!?" He was abruptly stopped by a foot from said cook.

"You ate it all, dumb-ass!"

~__~__~__~__~__~__~

The next morning:

~__~__~__~__~__~__~

"We're finally docking at port," Nami sighed. "Sanji's a good cook, but I don't think I could've lasted through any more vegetable dishes."

Robin chuckled. "Think of our poor Captain."

Nami spared him a glance. The poor Captain was sprawled across the deck looking half starved.

"Damn it Luffy, it's not the end of the world just because you haven't had meat for a couple of days." Nami sighed and leaned across the railing.

Luffy mumbled something inaudibly.

"If you're going to say something, say it so that I can hear it," she replied, annoyed.

"…meeaaat…" he groaned.

"Argh." she threw up her hands. "Come on Sanji, if we don't get him his meat he might actually die."

"Coming Nami-swaaaann." Sanji chirped.

"OI! Sanji, you can't go." Zoro yelled, appearing from the barracks.

Sanji paused in mid-run, "Why the hell not?"

Zoro put his legs on across a table. "You and me lost the bet with the rest of them." He made a pointed look at Nami. Sanji collapsed muttering curses towards the swordsman. "You can't go yet either Nami. You forgot to distribute belli."

Damn. "It slipped my mind." She waved a hand offhandedly. When Zoro looked at her again, she sighed.

"Chopper, go replenish your medical supplies. Robin, can you shop for food as our cook is incapacitated? Seems he'd rather stay on a ship then help me shop." Sanji looked at her teary-eyed. "Usopp…"

"I'm staying with the ship!" He said, looking slightly proud.

Nami glanced at him. "What?"

"Can you get me these items?" He procured a list, ignoring the question. "After all, the Captain of the great straw hat pirates should not disgrace himself with such menial…" He was interrupted as a swift punch from Nami knocked him down.

"You sure it's not because you want to play poker with Sanji and Zoro?" Usopp gave a weak chuckle. Last night he'd been on a role, defeating both the swordsman and cook over ten times in a row. Perhaps his skills at lying were not entirely useless after all.

"Franky, go buy some ship supplies. Brook, stay with the rest of the gang." She paused to move a hair strand off her face. "Luffy, go buy the stuff on this list," she said, handing him the list and some belli.

"WHAT?!" cried the rest of the crew. Nami never trusted the Captain with money. With good reason.

"But Nami-swan, he's probably just going to buy meat."

At the mention of meat, the Captain perked up. "I can buy meat?" he asked hopefully.

"No, Luffy," she said exasperated. "Buy the stuff on the list. If you can do it without messing up, I'll buy you some of this town's specialty meat." Not that she knew they had any. For all she knew, they might be vegetarians. Then she turned to the cook, putting on a hurt façade.

"You don't trust me?"

"O-of course I do Nami-swaaan!!! Have a safe trip!" he merrily waved.

Nami chuckled. He was so easy. As she made her way into the city, she paused for a second. Maybe she should have given the list to Brook. Much more trustworthy. But then she thought back to Usopp and his poker playing ways. And then the bet.

Nah.

~__~__~__~__~__~

Lost with Luffy:

~__~__~__~__~__~

Luffy was in the middle of a bustling town, and he had no clue as to where to go. He stopped, sandals scraping the concrete. The sun was hot and it only increased his hunger. Pushing it out of his mind, he pondered over the list. Super-long rubber bands, dials, gunpowder? His stomach rumbled. How was he supposed to find all of this stuff on an empty stomach?

"Ahhhhh, that stew sure hit the spot." A couple of men came out from the store in front of him rubbing their bellies. Closer inspection revealed that the store was a small restaurant. Stew meant meat. Luffy's mouth watered.

He soooo wanted to go eat meat.

~__~__~__~__~__~

Back with Nami

~__~__~__~__~__~

Nami was pretty sure Luffy had lost by now. Of course, the crew had set the scene perfectly. Had anyone else seen the reactions of the crew, they would have thought them to be genuine.

You had to be an insider who wasn't the captain to know that something was amiss.

The night before:

Robin smiled at the crew gathered around the table. Well all except one. Namely Luffy, who was raiding the kitchen for any morsel of meat that might have escaped his stomach. Franky, Brook and Robin were watching the poker game as Nami, Sanji, Zoro and Chopper played.

Anyways, they had finished playing poker for the thirteenth time that night. And all save for the first game, the one which Nami had won, Usopp had won twelve times. Needless to say, Chopper, Sanji and Zoro were getting incredibly annoyed.

"You SURE you're not cheating?" Zoro asked, glaring at Usopp.

"I have never cheated in my life!" he replied, having enough decency to look insulted.

Nami sighed. Poker was all about deceiving your opponents, something she was fairly adept at. Seems that there was someone who was more than fairly adept at deceiving people.

"I'm bored." Nami muttered.

"I agree Nami-swaaan!"

"Let's play something that long-nose won't keep winning at." Zoro grumbled.

"This game is cheap. Reindeers can't hold cards as well as humans. They keep falling out."

There was an awkward silence. Chopper had a point. That was the main reason he kept losing. That and the fact that he was horrible at lying. His body language always gave him away.

"Well…how about we make a little wager?" Robin asked.

"You may not have been playing Robin, but that's what we've been doing all night." Nami replied.

"This wager involves a certain captain…"

Nami looked up, slightly curious. Seems that the rest of the crew was interested as well.

"What did you have in mind?"

Robin grinned.

And that's what had happened. The bet was on what Luffy would obey. His stomach or Nami. Which was a completely stupid bet. She was surprised Robin could have come up with something that crazy. It was obvious what would win. His stomach. After all, since when could Luffy resist meat? But the bets didn't seem to side with proper logic.

"1,000 belli on Nami!" Zoro grinned, slamming down the money on the table.

"5,000 belli on Nami!" Franky and Brook cried in unison. Sanji didn't like where this was going.

"7,000 belli on Luffy's stomach!" he cried.

"10,000 belli on Nami!" Usopp yelled, using his Poker winnings. The crew looked at him in awe.

"Didn't know you had it in you Usopp." Zoro yelled, thumping him on the back. "You won't regret the bet."

"I know, I never lose. It's so obvious that it'll be Nami." Sanji looked like he was about to kill something.

"It's obvious that Luffy values food above all else!"

Zoro laughed. "You're just in denial."

Nami twitched. She didn't like being part of this and she definitely didn't like what this was implying, but it wasn't like she could stop it. As the saying goes, if you can't stop them, join them. And not to mention it was a brilliant chance to make some money off of these idiots. "100,000 belli on his stomach." There was silence. Nami never bet. On anything.

Robin looked highly amused.

After that, they'd devised the whole, Usopp wants to play poker so Luffy has to buy the supplies gag. AND they had made it look convincing. She sighed leaning back in her chair. Hot stew sat on the table in front of her.

When she looked up, she was pleasantly surprised to see that the captain had found the restaurant. Nami could see the captain, but the captain couldn't see her. And Luffy was at the window, his mouth watering. No doubt if she could seem him, he'd make himself scarce. She grinned.

He had totally lost.

Will Luffy give into the temptation, proving that Nami knows him best, or will Luffy resist proving that Nami holds more importance with Luffy than she actually knows? I was planning on making this a one-shot, but I can't write anymore at the moment so I'm planning on making it a two-shot.

I apologize for any typos or grammar mistakes. I'm only human, after all.
