Story: After the events of Alabasta, and before the events of Skypiea, something happened between Nami and one of her shipmates.
The Straw Hat Pirates needed a little break from being out on the sea, so they find an island in the middle of the Grand Line and relax on the beach. But during a game of beach volleyball, Nami twists her ankle, and Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji rush to her aid. Chopper goes back on the Merry Go to get some bandages while the rest of the crew care for her on the shore.
Chopper was still on the ship. He was still trying to get the bandages. It wasn't that he didn't know where the bandages were. He tried to get to the cabinet there, but knocked over a couple of barrels. The barrels landed on top of him. While he managed to get his upper torso out, his legs were still caught under the barrels. He had to slowly squirm out and then get the bandages. "Oooh, I hope Nami's not feeling too much worse!" said Chopper.
Nami woke up to the sound of low voices and crashing sea waves. There was already a sunset. How long was I asleep? she thought. Now her ankle was really killing her. It was more painful than it was earlier. Why wasn't Chopper back with the bandages yet?
Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji were wondering the same thing. Chopper should know where the bandages are, so what could be keeping him? They were all sitting by Nami, facing the reflection of the sunset on the ocean. "Chopper should have been back by now," said Sanji, "What's taking him so long?" "You think he's alright on there?" asked Usopp, "I mean, nothing happened to him, right?" "Nothing happened to him, Usopp," said Zoro, "he probably just misplaced his bandages and has a hard time finding them." "Yeah right," muttered Usopp, "he's not that stupid."
Nami began to groan. The pain from her ankle was only getting worse. She leaned up and grabbed it with both her hands to try and make it feel better. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro all jumped to their feet as soon as they heard their precious navigator groaning. "Nami! Are you okay?" exclaimed Usopp. "Please don't die, Nami!" cried Sanji. "SHE'S NOT GONNA DIE, YOU IDIOT! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT?" shouted Zoro.
"I feel like I'm dying here…" moaned Nami. "SEE? SHE NEEDS MY HELP!" Sanji exclaimed boldly. "You really are gullible," muttered Zoro. "Isn't there a strong man who can make me feel better?" asked Nami. "I'M COMING, NAMI!" shouted Zoro.
Zoro soon found himself carrying Nami's beach bag to her, which was filled with a few simple clothes buried under lots of treasure and weighed a couple tons. "Why do I feel for her when all she does is make me carry her shit around?" wondered Zoro, "Next time, I'll just let Sanji do it!" Zoro put down the beach bag beside Nami. Sanji was rubbing Nami's ankle to make her feel better. Usopp was giving her a back massage for her pleasure. Robin fiddled around with her multiple hands in order to fight the boredom she felt waiting for Chopper to return with the bandages.
Luffy sat by himself on his beach towel away from the rest of the crew. Man, all those guys have her attention and not me, thought Luffy hopelessly, I'm just her captain and nothing more. "It's Chopper!" shouted Robin, "he's heading back!" "Finally! What took him so long?" asked Zoro. Chopper brought the rowboat up to the shore and ran to Nami. "I have the bandages, Nami!" said Chopper. "What took you so long?" asked Zoro. Chopper looked up and replied, "I got stuck under some barrels that fell, and it took me a while to squirm out!" Zoro immediately began laughing. "Shut up! It's not funny!" whined Chopper.
"Thanks again, Chopper," said Nami. Her foot had finally been bandaged and the crew was ready to head out. "Anytime, Nami!" said Chopper. As the others began to walk towards the rowboat, Robin approached Chopper. "You missed quite a bit, Chopper," said Robin. Chopper looked up at Robin in curiosity. "What happened?" asked Chopper. "It would seem like all of the other guys in our crew want Nami's affection," said Robin with a smile, "You wouldn't happen to feel the same, would you?" "N-n-no! I'm a reindeer! Me and her…eeek!" Chopper started to panic a little. "I'm just joking, Chopper," said Robin. Chopper sighed in relief.
The Straw Hat Pirates were on the rowboat heading back to the Merry Go. The sun had already set by now, and the stars were out in the open sky. The moon began to slowly rise, with its reflection on the sea. By suggestion of Chopper, Nami put her feet in the water to help soothe the pain from her ankle, even though the bandages should have helped. "Well this didn't exactly turn out as well as I hoped it would," sighed Nami. "Is your foot alright, Nami?" asked Robin. "It's been better," said Nami, "but I'll live." Zoro, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp looked at Nami in concern. All of them felt the same way about her. It was simply a matter of who had what it took to win her heart and which one she wanted.
Chapter 3 will be finished soon!
