A/N: So... thanks people who read it. And reviewed. Or just read. Whatever. Here's chapter 2. Like you couldn't tell what it was...
"Hey! The town's THIS WAY, stupid!" Nami sighed as she was forced, yet again, to make sure Zoro didn't end up lost. In the first five minutes, she had been convinced that Zoro was just too stubborn to follow what people said. Now (six minutes later), she was absolutely positive that he was just a hopeless case. Robin and Luffy had gone to find a meat store to satisfy to whining captain, leaving Zoro and Nami to their yelling match in the center of the town.
"Oi, oi… keep your voice down, crazy woman. People are staring." Zoro hated this island. Why did everyone keep giving him strange looks? It's not that uncommon to have a weird hair color, you know!
"Oh, I don't know why, maybe it's because YOU'RE CARRYING THREE FREAKING SWORDS on the island of LOVE?" Nami cried, exasperated. She had tried all morning to get him to leave those things behind. It attracted way too much attention, and if people kept looking at them, she wouldn't be able to quickly swipe anyone's wallet…
"Hey! I couldn't just leave these behind!" Zoro protested.
"Yeah? Why?"
Because then I couldn't protect you. Zoro shook the thought from his head, trying to convince himself it wasn't true as he said, "Well… these things are my treasures…"
Nami raised an eyebrow skeptically, but she didn't press him on it. Zoro gave a mental sigh of relief.
"HEY! YOU TWO!" A strange man dressed in an all pink military uniform came running toward them. As he got closer, Zoro instinctively shifted slightly in front of Nami, ready to protect her from whatever this crazy guy was planning. To his surprise, Nami suddenly grabbed his hand and threaded her fingers through his.
"Nami, wha-?"
"Shhh… Don't say anything."
"But—"
"HEY! I'M STILL TALKING TO YOU, YOU KNOW!" The crazy man had reached them, a strange-looking object in his hand. Huffing, the guy stopped in front of them. "Sorry… **wheeze** Just… **huff huff**… Gotta… **gasping for air**" The man chided himself. He really had to lay off the ice cream and cake.
"Excuse me officer, you were saying?" Nami said, a little worried. The man looked like he was ready to have a seizure.
"Oh. Right. **deep breath** I just had to come here to check out if you guys were really a couple. You know, nowadays, too many people are coming here single. It's horrible!" The uniformed man shuddered with disgust at the word.
What the hell? This guy is seriously retarded. Is THIS what he does with his life? Going around to ask people if they're a COUPLE? What is he, the Love Police or something? Zoro snorted at the thought. He quickly looked at the man. Short, fat, ridiculously hairy… And he's on the island of love… His pink uniform looked just like an army one, except that it was pink and had the words "LOVE POLICE" stitched on the front. What the-? This island is SERIOUSLY messed up!
"Oh officer, everything's fine. My boyfriend and I were just having a loud discussion on who should pay for dinner. I said I would, but he's just too generous, wouldn't listen to me… He's taking me shopping, and then to the best restaurant in town, isn't that right, honey?"
What? That evil little—Zoro was just about to burst a blood vessel. He's already got a debt of a few hundred million beri (Nami charged interest like you wouldn't believe), and now he was supposed to PAY for HER DINNER? Like hell he would! He opened his mouth, about to tell her that he was going to personally send her to hell, but remembered just in time that the creepy LOVE POLICE guy was there.
Zoro pasted a smile on his face and said, "Well, sweetie, it was the least I could do since you promised to buy me a new set of training weights and all…"
The look on Nami's face was priceless. He could see the little gears turning in that sadistic brain of hers, realizing that SHE was going to be forced to give up HER money for the moss-headed idiot. In less than a second, though, the look of horror on her face was replaced with a genuine-seeming smile. Zoro was pretty impressed. If that girl hadn't planned on being an awesome navigator and complete bitch, she would have made a fantastic actress.
"Excuse me, officer," Nami said sweetly. "We have to get going NOW." She shot Zoro a look that burned with the fires of a thousand hells.
"Oh yes, of course," the strange man said cheerfully, absolutely oblivious to the current atmosphere. "Well, have a nice day!" He walked away, whistling happily. Zoro watched him leave, wondering how far the man could walk without stopping to rest. The poor guy was REALLY out of shape.
"Zoro…"
The swordsman froze. Uh-oh…
"Come here. Now."
"Yes, Nami?" He tried at a smile. No use, apparently.
"Let's go for a walk, OK?" She was smiling at him. That was NOT a good sign.
"Sure. Oh hey, did you notice what that guy was wearing? Completely hideous, right?" So, okay, he failed at girl talk. Still, maybe it could get her off-topic…
"Let's go Zoro. We have to discuss your INCREASING debt, and possible financial arrangements…"
Oh, crap…
A/N: R&R! Well, guess you already read it. So just review. Please? It's gonna tell me if I should keep going, or just stop if it's really lame. Thanks guys! :D by the way, sorry if it has a lot of mistakes. It's "un-beta-ed" I'm new here, still not sure what a beta is, so...
