So years ago I read a fanfic about these 2 and LOVED one very important concept. I have not been able to find that fanfic again to favorite it, so I feel the need to rewrite it for my own peace of mind and satisfaction. Very short, very bare bones compared to the original. I do not own the original concept of this story, but unfortunately I do not know the original story or author to credit them. If someone knows of it, please link it to me. Disclaimers out of the way, enjoy.
Another battle. Smaller, but these guys had crossed the line. This wasn't doing what was right, this wasn't protecting or helping, this was personal.
Nami sat on the ground with tears in her eyes like she hadn't done in years since she was home, and this felt no different than it had back then.
Luffy did the same thing as he did to back then when he went off to fight, he put his hat- his single greatest treasure- on her head and walked away to go break someone.
"Keep her safe," is all he said as he cracked his knuckles with malice in his eyes.
"I will, Luffy," Nami called back.
"I wasn't talking to you, Nami."
