I don't own one piece...doh, why would i write this here id i owned one piece? then it would just happend wouldnt it?

well, here is the second chapter. you may read and review. oh ill warn you, nothing big happends in this chapter. its more of a set-up for the next one.

-1 Chapter two: Second thoughts

"I am not sick" Nami declared after she has landed several punches on certain peoples heads.

She continued: "no there is another way to make this interesting. We'll play with a lives system. Everyone starts off with 10 of them. Each lost game means losing a life. Last man standing is the winner. That person may command the others to do one thing, which they cant deny. If the command is rendered unreasonable though, the winner has to make up a new one."

The whole crew, sans robin, get twinkles in their eyes at the thought of being able to command something of their crewmates.

Nami's brains were racing: 'Why did I say that? Well, no helping it now. Lets see… what would everyone ask for if they won….

Brook would want something that has to do with panty's I'm sure. I can't let him win.

Franky? I'm not sure about him, but it'll be something SUUUPAAAH. And I don't trust that it's something not embarrassing. So lets not bet on it.

Always better than Sanji though, I don't know what he'll want, but it'll concern me and Robin more than the guys, ill have to make sure he doesn't win.

Robin…yeah, well, nobody knows what she is thinking. But whatever she would want, it can never be that bad. At least not for me.

Usopp? He probably wants to be captain for a day or so, nothing bad will happen out of that. Especially since we're used to Luffy as captain. And I doubt he is easy to take out, given his experience in lying.

Chopper can't have any bad thing he'd want. All he'd wish for is probably that we'll play another game with him or something.

Zorro, well I doubt he can keep awake and interested long enough to win, but if, and I say if, he won. I guess he'd want to be able to drink without having to worry about how much there's left in stock, and Sanji complaining about that for one night or so.

Luffy would want the same as Zorro, though not with booze, but with meat. though I doubt he'll even GET the game.'

Although that seems like a whole lot to think of, Nami actually was rather fast at all that. Though that would be obvious, since she knew the crew rather well after all this time.

When Nami looked up from her thoughts, it seemed everyone had agreed to her proposal. And they were all already seated at the round table.

Nami sat down at the last empty seat. She couldn't complain about her seat. To her right sat Chopper, and to her left sat Usopp. Meaning she was shielded from Sanji.

Sadly enough for Robin, she did sit next to Sanji, who was in a love state with hearts in his eyes because of it. Robin on the other hand seemed to have more attention to the other person sitting next to her. Which was a green haired swordsman.

Nami Could understand that. But there seemed to be something more than just fleeing from Sanji's attention. She'd have to ask her about that later on. Which gave her a brilliant idea about what she herself would ask of the crew when she won.

"hurry hurry, I wanna staaa-aaaaart" Luffy whined from the other side of the table, obviously getting bored.

'sh' Nami thought ' Why is he sitting right at the opposite chair. Ugh, I need to concentrate, but when I look at him…' A shiver went down her spine. ' I can't concentrate around him. And now, when I've got to most of all time, he sits right in front of me.

She sighed, forming her resolve. She couldn't let Sanji win, nor brook. Well, she wanted to win herself now, so she couldn't let anyone win.

' Concentrate Nami, concentrate only on the game, nothing else ' she chanted to herself.

The game started. Nami played to make Sanji lose first. So that danger would be evaded as soon as possible.

Despite that, it was Luffy who lost the first few rounds. Which was unfortunate, since he had Sanji sitting to his left, shielding him from Nami's set-ups.

10 rounds were played, Franky had lost 1 life because he had fallen for Usopp's SUUUUUPAAAAAH good bluffing. As Franky had called it afterwards.

One life was lost by Sanji, who would've guessed Luffy threw poker 6 at once. (for the people who don't know the game, poker 6 is the highest you can throw, and the person next to you cant do anything about it.)

The 8 other lives however, were lost by Luffy. Which annoyed Nami for 2 reasons.
If he hadn't lost those lives Sanji probably would've, since those were the set-ups Nami made.
And if he lost he'd leave the table, which she wouldn't want. (though she'd never admit that, not even to herself)

She had to do something. But what….

" 10 rounds played, can we take a little break now? " she asked.

"Yohohohoho, I'd agree to that. I'm sweating of excitement because of this game. Although I'm a skeleton, and I can't sweat. SKUUULLL JOOOOOKE!"

He was just being ignored.

"Well, I do need to refresh my cola" Was Franky's plain reaction.

The rest just plainly nodded to the idea.

Sanji got up with hearts in his eyes and hurried to the kitchen. Nami supposed he was going to make some love drink for her and Robin.
Zorro fell asleep again (which also happened thrice during the game)
Usopp was telling chopper a story about the time he played a dice game with the pirate king himself. Chopper didn't doubt him for one sec, as usual.

Brook was caught in awe in the story too, and Robin just observed everyone from her chair.

Luffy got up and started walking out when he was stopped by a voice from behind him.

"Luffy?" Nami asked.

"Hmmm? Tissit nami?" he asked with a curious face

"well…ummm…. Where are you going?" she asked him, not entirely sure why she started stuttering a bit.

He grinned his wide trademark grin "just out for a walk, wanna come?"

Nami saw here chance. Out there she could easily instruct him so that he wouldn't lose so quickly.

"sure.." She stood up and walked towards him. As she past him he started walking too and after a little walk, when Nami was sure they were out of hearing range of the rest, she started her mission.

"Luffy?" she asked

"hmmm?" Luffy mumbled while he was looking up at the sky. It was almost as if he was thinking. But that couldn't be, I mean, it is Luffy we're talking about here right?

Nami sighed 'well, when I start my story he'll listen' she said to herself.

"Why are you losing so rapidly?"

"To make the game more interesting" he answered, still in that state of "thinking".

"What?!" Nami almost yelled as her eyes widened and she looked at him in surprise.
'this cant be, he actually know what he is doing? C'mon, that just cant be, this is Luffy, the simple minded idiot. It cant be that he thinks he needs an extra handicap to make this interesting. He shouldn't even get the game.'

Luffy awoke from his thoughts, realising what he just said. Shook his head and said:
" I'm just messing with you, I just suck at this game. But it seems everyone is already waiting for us, so lets get back"

When they got back Nami didn't know what to think anymore. Could it be that in secret Luffy actually had brains? Naah, that would just be weird, wouldn't it?

She stared at him while in thought. When she woke up she noticed robin was looking at her with a little smile.

'Oh god,' nami thought. 'She isn't getting the wrong idea here now is she?'

But she didn't have the time to find that out since the second round commenced.

well, this was it for the second chapter, simply because i dont feel like writing anymore atm :3
revieuws are always welcome. but dont just flame, if you didntlike it, tell me why...maybe in the next chapters i can look into it.
