Here's the next chapter!

DISCLAIMER: ONE PIECE BELONGS TO EIICHIRO ODA!

After dinner, everyone went back to do their usual things and Luffy went to his room to see how much money he had in his secret stash. Nami only gave him thirty million berries for a one hundred million berri necklace. Hopefully, he would have at least more than ten million.

"Where did I put that bag?" Luffy said to himself as he looked around the room.

He looked under the beds but nothing was there. There were nothing in the closets.

"Oh, wait, I remember now!" He went back under his bed and carefully pulled off a few floorboards revealing his secret money stash.

"Here it is!" He said happily. "Having Nami as my girlfriend sure taught me a lot."

Luffy pulled out the bag and started counting. Luckily, Nami taught him how to count money the right way and faster. He was surprised to find out that he actually had thirty million left also.

"Cool! I have, uh… Thirty plus thirty… Six… I have sixty million berries! I just need forty million more! Now who can I ask?"

Luffy put his stash away for now and went to bother someone for money. The first person he spotted was Zoro.

"Hey, Zoro, do you have any…"

"Money? No."

"But I need it for…"

"No. Next year remember."

"How did you know what I need it for?"

"I was listening and somewhat watching you and Nami earlier. Good job remembering your first anniversary." Zoro said sarcastically with a laugh.

Luffy pouted and walked away. Well, Zoro was now out of the question.

"I'll find your secret stash someday." Luffy thought.

Luffy made his way to the infirmary and just barged right in without knocking.

"Luffy, don't you know how to knock?" Chopper asked turning to him.

"Sorry." Luffy said closing the door. "Um… Do you have twenty million berries?"

"What do you need it for?"

"Well, I forgot that it's been a year since Nami and I have been together. She said it's our anniversary and she got me a present but…"

"Anniversary?" Chopper interrupted. "Wait, you guys are married?!"

"No, we're not married. Anyway, Nami got me this bracelet but I didn't get her anything. She told me she wants a necklace and it costs one hundred million berries. I have sixty million."

Chopper thought about it for a while. He's been trying to save up money himself. He actually has fifty million berries stashed away!

"Please, Chopper?" Luffy begged. "If I don't get her the necklace she's going to be really upset. I don't like seeing her sad."

"Okay." Chopper said. "I'll give you the twenty million."

"Yay! Thanks, Chopper!" Luffy said happily hugging Chopper tightly.

"Luffy… Too tight."

"Oh, sorry!" Luffy said letting him go.

"I'll be back."

Chopper went to get the money while Luffy waited and thought about how much more money he needed.

"Here you go." Chopper said making Luffy jump out of his thoughts.

"That was quick." Luffy said. "Thanks again, Chopper! By the way, where's your secret stash?"

"As if I'd tell you that! You can't keep a secret!" Chopper said pushing Luffy out the door. "Now go, shoo!"

After that, Luffy went to his room and put the twenty million together with the sixty million.

"Let's see, all I need is another twenty more." Luffy said to himself. "Who should I ask?"

He put his stash away and then went back outside looking for Robin. He was just about to walk into the women's quarters when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around.

"Oh, Robin! I was looking for you! Do you have twenty million berries?"

"For what, I might ask." Robin said even though she already knew.

Luffy explained what happened and Robin decided to give him the last twenty million on one condition.

"What do you want me to do?" Luffy asked annoyed that he had to do something.

Robin was going to tell Luffy to clean the libraries books but decided not to. Instead…

"You have to read a book."

"Huh?"

"You have to read any book I give you and read word for word to yourself alone."

"Why?"

"Want to clean all the books in the library instead?"

"No, you have way too many of them!"

"Good. Here's a book I happen to be reading right now." Robin said handing Luffy the book.

"Well, at least it's not huge." Luffy thought.

"It's only a five hundred page book but it only has a few pictures in it. Unless you want something else…"

"No, I'll stick with this one!" Luffy said fearing if he said something, Robin would give him a larger book.

"You have one week to finish it."

"One week? But there are tons of words I don't know in here!"

"Pronounce it to yourself and speed read."

With that, Robin handed him the twenty million and just walked away smiling.

"Thanks, Robin!" Luffy said almost forgetting about the book. "Oh, and I'll try my best reading the book."

Nami: So is Luffy going to get the necklace or is he going to mess up again?

Me: I haven't decided yet.

Luffy: I'm just glad I didn't have to clean all those books!

I know this chapter wasn't all that great but that's the best I can do. I was going to make Luffy clean all the books but I remembered there's a story like that already and yeah. I also wanted to make Luffy read because that rarely happens. Just one more chapter to go! I think. Lol.

Review please! :D
