Chapter 2
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nami spent the whole day with Luffy.
When he ate, she held on to him and didn't eat until he fed her.
When he sat on deck, she sat next to him and leaned on his shoulder.
By the time he had finished eating dinner, Luffy's could barely feel his arm from how long his navigator had been holding onto it.
"Hey, Nami.." Luffy groaned, looking down at the orange head of hair leaning against his shoulder, "..How about we go to bed now.."
"..Could we bathe together first..?" she asked softly, loosening her grip on him to stare into his eyes.
"EH!?" he shouted.
She continued to look at him intently.
"BUT WE'LL BE NAKED!!" he exclaimed.
"..I don't mind.." she replied.
"But you can just bathe by yourself!" he yelled, trying to get out of her grasp so he could flee to the men's sleeping quarters.
She moved around so she could be in front of him, then she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"But I want to bathe with you." she whispered.
"WHY!?"
She didn't say anything.
He continued to stare at her hesitantly, waiting for her answer.
He could see her moonlit face.
Her black eye was swollen to the point where her eyeball was barely visible, she had small bruises on her forehead, and she had taken off her bandages earlier that day, so he could see all the cuts on her face.
It was hard to read her expression, but he thought she looked sad.
She held his arm and moved towards the bath room with him as he made small, retaliating noises.

Luffy wasn't sure how it had happened, but they were now in the lavatory, with the door locked, facing each other.
They stared at one another for what seemed like the longest time before Nami suddenly took her shirt off and dropped it to the floor.
Luffy backed up, gritting his teeth as his navigator stripped in front of him.
When he saw her body, his face fell.
Her knees and shins were scraped, her breasts had scars that looked like they were made from someone's fingernails, and her entire upper body, from her waist to her wrists was covered with blue, green, and purple blotches.
"Uh.." he breathed.
She walked up to him and put her hands on his vest. She kept them there for a moment, then she started to slip his vest off of him.
He didn't resist, but he still didn't like what was happening.
When she had removed his vest, Nami placed her hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes. After a couple of seconds, she kneeled down and touched his pants.
She lowered his zipper.
"Eh! Na-Nami, wait!" he exclaimed, but she had already pulled his jeans down.
He wasn't sure what he should do.
Nami placed her delicate fingers on his waist and slowly brought down his shorts.
She stood up to face him.
"..I'll start filling the tub.." she said.
He stood frozen as she walked over to the bathing area and turned on the faucet.
After adjusting the temperature, she walked back over to him and tugged lightly on his hand.
Without thinking, he stepped out of his pants and sandals and followed her.
She dipped a bucket into the tub and poured the water over herself, then dipped it in again and poured it over him.
She bent down to grab a sponge, then stopped.
Luffy looked at her curiously.
She stood back up and faced Luffy.
She gently grabbed onto both his hands with her own.
He wasn't sure what was going on.
Nami was staring at her feet.
A moment passed and Nami slid her fingers up Luffy's arms, over his shoulders and around his neck. She moved in close to him to the point where their chests were touching.
He detected her thin fingers as they began to caress his neck, the frail muscles in her arms tensing against his shoulders.
Their feet touched and she moved her toes over his.
He felt her soft chest press up against his skin.
She nudged her cheek against his. He could feel her rough scrapes against his flesh.
"Will you.." she began, breathing into the corner of his neck, "..hold me?"
His body stiffened.
"Please..?" she whispered.
He frowned, but slowly brought his arms up around her back and covered one of her shoulders with a hand.
She whispered into his ear. "Tighter..?"
Following her request, he held her a little tighter.
She closed her eyes and gasped slightly as her breasts rubbed and contracted between their two bodies.
Luffy took no further action. He wasn't even sure what he was doing anymore.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, then Nami said,
"It hurt.."
Luffy's eyes went wide.
"It..really hurt..!" she gasped, her voice cracking as she finished.
He felt her start to snivel. "Th-they..held me down..!" she exclaimed. "Th-There were..s-so many of them..! They..t-tore my clothes off! H-he grabbed my breasts and d-dug his nails into them! He bit m-my nipple!"
Luffy began to feel a rage build up in him.
"One man, he..he hit me again and again!" she continued. "They...They all laughed! I was trying to break free, but...but they were too strong! And then, he..he cut my..my vagina! It h-hurt..it hurt s-so much, Luffy!"
Luffy was clenching his teeth so hard he couldn't feel his gums. A vein was pulsing in his forehead.
"Th-th-they!! They wouldn't stop! It hurt and I was so scared and..and..! And I cried and I tried to break free! I used all my power but I couldn't stop them! The man, he! He put his..PENIS into me and..and they wouldn't let go...and I..."
Her body was shaking as violently as it had been the previous night. Her knees were wobbling so much he had to hold her up to keep her from falling.
She was sobbing into his neck.
"L-LUFFY!!" she cried, squeezing him as hard as her arms would let her.
Luffy thought back to his brief battle with those men. He was pretty sure he hadn't killed them all. He began to consider having the ship turned around so they could return to the island and he could kill whoever was left.
He didn't know what to say to her, so he just continued to hold her. They stayed that way for a while.
Finally, Nami loosened her grip on him and he let go of her.
They dried off and put their clothes back on.
As they left the room, Nami held Luffy's hand.
They didn't wind up bathing.

"Can you sleep with me tonight?" Nami asked, looking Luffy in the eyes as they stood in front of the door to the women's sleeping quarters.
Luffy's body jolted.
"I really want you to hold me.." Nami said, lightly gripping his vest.
Luffy gulped.
"..Okay, I guess..."
They entered the room and closed the door.
Nami lead Luffy to her bed, then let go of him for a moment as she removed her footwear then crawled in and lay down.
She held the covers open for him to come in.
After a moment of tentativeness, Luffy placed his Strawhat on the ground, slipped off his sandals, and crawled in beside her.
Nami snuggled up to him, rubbing her feet against his.
She brought her face up to him to the point where their noses touched.
And then, in a whisper, she asked,
"Will you kiss me..?"
Luffy froze. He hadn't been expecting that.
Nami gazed at him with her unbruised eye, waiting for his answer.
Some time passed as he considered her request.
"Okay." he finally said.
She closed her eyes and raised her chin slightly.
Luffy gulped, then slowly leaned forward, his nose brushing against her's.
He could feel her warm breath against his mouth.
Then their lips touched.
His breathing hitched in his throat and his eye lids fluttered for a moment before closing.
He felt her lower lip caress his.
He could taste her breath as she exhaled into his mouth.
Their chins brushed as they opened and closed their jaws, heads gently moving against one another.
He started to taste her saliva as it merged with his.
When he felt her tongue pass into him, he was so surprised he nearly pulled back.
As if sensing this, she brought her hand to his cheek to gently hold it in place and started lightly massaging it with her thumb.
She stroked the insides of his mouth with her tongue for a few seconds, then playfully tapped his and retreated back into her own mouth, beckoning him to follow.
Without even thinking about it, Luffy put his hand behind her head and entered her mouth, invoking in her a soft moan.
They continued for a few minutes, though it seemed like much longer, then finally broke away, both panting heavily.
"I.." Nami started, locking onto Luffy's eyes with her own, "..I really love you, Luffy.."
She flattened her forearms against his chest and nudged her head under his chin, placing a light kiss at the base of his throat.
It was awkward for Luffy, but they both wound up falling asleep that way.

Luffy woke up the next morning to someone tapping him on the shoulder.
He groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
He felt warm breaths against his neck and looked down to see Nami still snuggling against him, asleep.
He blinked a few times, then tried to get up, but noticed that Nami had slipped her arms behind his vest at some point during the night and was holding his back.
"I figured you wouldn't want to miss breakfast so I thought I should wake you up." he heard Robin say from behind him.
"Eh!?" Luffy shouted, sitting up with lightning speed and slipping out of Nami's embrace. "It's already breakfast!?"
"Actually, everyone else has eaten, but they saved the leftovers for you."
"WHAT!?" Luffy roared, leaping off the bed and racing out the door.
Robin sighed then gently shook Nami awake.
The orange haired navigator turned on her side and moaned in complaint.
"Just let me sleep a little more.." she mumbled.
"..Don't you want to have breakfast with Luffy..?" Robin asked.
Nami immediately sat up and turned to face Robin.
"Oh, yeah..Thanks Robin." she said, smiling.
"You spoke to me." Robin remarked, slightly surprised. "Are you feeling better today?"
Nami frowned for a moment, then smiled again. "Yeah, I am."
Robin returned her smile. "That's good to hear, everyone will be pleased."

Luffy slammed the dining room door open.
"FOOD!!" he thundered.
His crewmates were sitting at the table conversing with one another.
"Oh, Luffy." said Sanji. "You're breakfast is on the counter."
Luffy looked at the large plate of soups, fish, and vegetables resting on the counter top.
In thirty seconds, he had consumed all of it.
"Where's the rest!?" he shouted.
"There's only a little bit left, and that's for Nami-san." said Sanji.
"EH!?" Luffy exclaimed. "What happened to everything else!?"
"We ate it." said Franky.
"WHAT!? How could you!? Why didn't you wake me up!? I would've eaten more!"
"That's precisely WHY we didn't wake you up!" Franky yelled. "You were sleeping in for once so we finally had the chance to have a normal breakfast with no one stealing food off our plates!"
"That was the best breakfast I've had in a while!" said Usopp, cheerfully. "I was finally able to finish a full plate of food without Luffy grabbing almost everything before I could eat it."
"And we could eat slowly, too!" added Chopper.
"Say, Luffy.." Sanji began, patting Luffy on the shoulder. "Why did you spend the night in Nami-san and Robin-chan's room last night?"
"Oh, I slept with Nami." Luffy replied casually. "Is there really no more food??"
"YOU DID WHAT!?" Sanji roared.
Sanji grabbed Luffy by his shirt and started yelling at him.
"You bastard! You took advantage of Nami-san while she was in that delicate state, didn't you!? She may never heal now!"
"Damn, you're loud.." groaned Zoro, rubbing his head as he woke up from his nap. "What are you blabbering about?"
"This FIEND!" Sanji bellowed, pointing at Luffy, who didn't seem to be paying any attention and was picking his nose, "He..he..he FORCED poor Nami-san last night!"
"Eh?" interjected Luffy, crossing his arms and tilting his head. "I don't recall doing anything like that..We just kissed and went to sleep.."
"WHAT!?" thundered Sanji, only slightly less outraged.
At that moment, Nami entered the room with Robin.
"Ah! Nami-san! Are you feeling better today?" Sanji asked.
Nami nodded, smiling slightly.
Just have a seat and I'll bring you your breakfast!" Sanji exclaimed cheerfully.
Nami sat next to Luffy, who was pouting with his chin on the table.
"So, you're really feeling better?" asked Franky, eyeing Nami suspiciously.
Nami nodded again.
"Nnnnnami-saaan!" Sanji sang, spinning around as he approached the navigator with a platter of his specially prepared food. "Your breakfast!"
He set it down in front of her, his arm unintentionally brushing her sleeve.
"KYAAAA!!" Nami screamed, suddenly pulling away and latching onto Luffy, staring at Sanji with terror in her eyes.
Sanji's happy demeanor instantly vanished.
Everyone stared at Nami, who was holding onto Luffy, shaking.
After a few seconds, she said, "S-Sorry.."
Sanji had a sad expression.
No one said anything and after a minute, Nami started to eat.
She didn't ask Luffy to feed her this time, which Zoro was happy about.
After she had taken a few bites, Nami noticed Luffy eyeing her food.
She smiled at him. "Would you like some?"
Luffy's face lit up.
"Eh!? Can I!?"
Nami nodded, grinning.
She picked up a piece a potatoe with her fork and raised it to Luffy's mouth.
Luffy was slightly displeased that this was all he was getting but, never one to turn down food, he happily opened his mouth and let Nami feed him.
Using the same fork, Nami brought a carrot to her own mouth and ate it.
Then, she stabbed a piece of beef and held her fork out to Luffy again, who now realized that she was going to continue feeding him and consumed the meat with no hesitation.
Nami continued this deed of feeding Luffy by placing her fork in his mouth, then using the same fork to eat a piece herself.
Meanwhile, his contentment short-lived, Zoro now glared at them with a disgusted look on his face.
"Back to normal my ass.." he muttered.
