Nami's hands gently brushed the Sunny's railing, she glanced at the clear sky – the crew had momentarily avoided a catastrophic storm. "The New World surely is as unpredictable as they say."
Alongside her, stood Luffy. He opted to say nothing, instead, he stole a sly look at her.
She folded her arms neatly, a coy smirk etching upon her face. "We've come pretty far."
He grinned in agreement, swiftly turning around, arms resting on the ship's railing. "I couldn't have done it without you guys," he flashes that signature smile, "And you too, Nami."
She rolled her eyes. "I can't imagine how far you would have got without me," she lets out an unladylike guffaw. "Especially with Zoro's sense of direction!"
"Shishishi." He laughs. A pause. "Oi, Nami?" She turns her head to look at him, he wasn't looking at her – instead, he stared at the ocean. "Will you navigate me to the end?"
She smiled at him, as he finally gave her his attention. An honest, pure, angelic smile that spoke the words 'thank you for everything.' He was slightly taken back.
"You're weird." Luffy tried to laugh it off, scratching at the back of his neck. His hat subtly hid his eyes.
Nami felt everything but bitter. Weird wasn't an insult to her – it was a strange compliment she had learned to accept. She laughed loudly.
"Your hat is covering your eyes," her fingers traced the rim of his hat, propping the item up an inch. "I'll lead you to One Piece." Their eyes locked, "And the whole way back again." She mustered a wink. "I won't charge you for insulting me either."
He puts an arm around her, forcefully shoving her into an involuntary hug. She smiled at his idiocy, he was Luffy after all – and being named weird was the closest she would get to being called cute.
And secretly, she liked it.
