This is my first LawNa fanfiction. If it sounds weird, it is probably because I speak Spanish and this is the first fanfic I write in English. So it is an experiment :D

Enjoy.

The not so Mature Competition

He was convinced now. There was something wrong with that woman's head.

Law focused his sight on the cracks of the old wooden table before him and its suspicious yellow stains. Then he fixed his hat and drank another sip of beer. Not that he cared.

Penguin looked nervously over his shoulder. –Captain, maybe we should…-

The Heart Captain shrugged his shoulders–She is Straw hat's problem-

Penguin looked back again, fully aware that his captain was becoming angrier as the minutes passed. He should have stayed at the sub, he thought. Their encounters with Miss Nami never brought them more than troubles, simply because their Captain couldn't hold on to his own rule. "Leave her alone".

-So, baby, what was your name again?-

Penguin could almost hear the glass cracking under Law's hand, even when his face looked still motionless. He had never had the chance to watch Cat Thief Nami, Miss Nami for the crew, in action. He had only heard stories about that time when she had robbed a whole marine ship on her own, or when she had taken a whole recently paid brigade's wallet. As long as there is money at stake, he had heard some say, nothing stopped her. He had to admit he was kind of hooked into the situation.

-Nojiko-

Law looked into his glass still listening. So did Penguin. As a matter of fact Miss Nami stories had become famous among the Heart pirates crew not only because of the ability to scape with surprisingly large "profits" from difficult-full-of-marines-situations, but also because none of them had failed to see their Capitan's difficulty to ignore her.

-Nojiko, ah? What is Nojiko doing in a place like this, ah?- Asked one of the marines pushing her to a sit at the bar.

Penguin peeked at her "clothing" bags again, resting next to her on the bar table, surrounded by young marines who had no idea that half of the city headquarters' money was lying inside those bags.

-Hey, I know where we can have some fun here, let's go to that pub where they play live music, wouldn't you like to dance, Miss Nojiko?- There was a cheerful response from a group of marines surrounding the thief now. Judging by their drunk faces, they were likely to insist.

Penguin contained his breath and anxiously looked at his captain. Was that a grin? He had heard from Sachi that the more reckless the behavior of the Straw hat navigator was, the angrier Law became. They had joked around with the idea that their stoic captain was, in fact, concerned for her, and they had got to the conclusion that having such reckless allies was what made Law so upset.

Or so they thought.

Until things became a little bit more personal.

They argued. They argued a lot, to the point that there was no manner in which one of them would avoid pointing to any little and insignificant mistake committed by the other. Miss Nami was far more childish than their Captain; she used to lose her temper quite quickly. Law simply pointed out her failures and then ignored her. Since their crews had become alleys, their encounters had been more frequent. So were their fights.

-No thank you- Nami answered with a wide, charming smile – It's getting late, father must be waiting for me…-

Penguin sweat cold. Law was grinning widely and he knew his Captain. There was something else, something that he could not see yet. He followed Law's look which was now fixed at the door.

And waited.

Nami had taken her bags and crossed half the pub, graciously waving goodbye to the bunch of friendly marines, when the door opened wide.

-THE HEADQURTERS CASH IS GONE-

The room froze. Penguin and Nami included. The heart pirate could have sworn he heard Law chuckling.

The newcomer looked at Nami in the face, not too far from her, and started raising his hand while trying to articulate something that sounded dangerously close to "Cat thief Nami"

Nami thanked that the whole bar was too drunk to immediately understand the poor guard's words. She released a sigh while composing her staff in bitter regret. These marines had been nice to her, she even liked them.

When the guard at the door reacted, it was already too late. A clean hit on his head put him out of the way while Nami started running, bags in hand, pursued by a dozen or so marines down the street. There would have been a few more, if not for a table that flew right to the middle of the room interrupting the way of the other drunk group.

-JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU 'RE DOING?-

Law ignored the question and walked peacefully through the door. Penguin evaded the fallen marines, defeated by the alcohol and Law's flying table. He stopped at the bar's door, trying to see in which direction the girl had gone, his Capitan already turning left at the next corner.

Nami saw her hair floating unnaturally around her. She almost felt sad for the group of drunkards that were running to catch her.

Almost

With a simple movement she unleashed the lighting storm over the terrified men. She observed her work with amusement, too bad she was the only one admiring the beauty of such perfect lighting formation. Or so she thought. However, she had to run before the other group of marines could see her.

-Need some help?-

She looked up to meet the grinning face of Trafalgar Law from a terrace above her.

The navigator received him with plain contempt. –Don't even dare to interfere!- Anyone's help would have been more than welcome, but not his. She would not give him that satisfaction.

-Too late for that-

-No one asked for your help!- She was not happy with the spectacle she had given at the bar. She had been so close to a perfect escape…

The sound of the approaching marines made her resume her initial task –Don't interfere!-

That was the last thing Penguin heard her say before she disappeared into a house, bags, clothes, money and the murderous aura with her.

"And she did escape" commented Penguin realizing she had been successful.

Law frowned at lost group of marines on persecution.

"Room"

OOOoooOOOO

Was it too horrible? I want to keep writing one shots of this couple. They are just perfect. I am not good with long stories. Any comments are welcome. Observations about my English are welcome as well xD for the sake of improving my following fanfictions.

C: thanks for reading!
