CHAPTER 3-The Amusing Park
That afternoon, the group left the hotel and made their way to the amusement park while cutting through the city.
Of course, everyone visited shops along the way.
Zoro sat down on a beach and fell asleep while waiting for everyone else, Usopp just ran off with Chopper to look for some weird objects. Sanji went to see some food stores, and Franky went along to buy more cola.
Luffy wanted to go as well, but Nami asked him to help her.
So in the end, Luffy went along with Nami who basically went straight for the jewelry stores.
The two of them were outside of one of the jewelry stores when Nami noticed a bracelet with a tangerine-like design on it.
She dragged Luffy inside to see how much it was.
"The Tangerine Bracelet?" asked the owner.
"Yeah, the one in the window, how much?" Nami asked happily.
"200 million berries." The owner said with a smile.
"What! That's impossible!" Nami cried out which made Luffy look over from staring at the blank wall.
"I'm sorry, but it's a very special and expensive item." The owner said.
"How about 2 thousand?" Nami asked.
"No, 200 million or nothing." The owner said.
With that, Nami grumbled, went over to Luffy and dragged him outside.
Nami sighed and then said. "Darn it. That bracelet was really beautiful too, 200 million berries, yeah right."
Luffy looked at the bracelet and then at Nami.
Nami sighed again. "Hey Luffy, stay here. I'm going to go look at the other shops." Nami said and walked off.
Luffy just stood there and then went back to staring at the bracelet.
"Nami really wants this bracelet, but I don't think I have enough." Luffy thought to himself.
Then, Luffy went over and walked into the store and toward the owner.
"How much for the bracelet in the window?" Luffy asked.
"That bracelet sure is popular. 200 million berries." The owner said sternly.
Luffy sighed and then looked behind him to see if Nami was back.
Suddenly, a man wearing a trench coat walked over; glanced at Luffy and then the owner.
"I'll buy it." He said to the owner.
"You will?" the owner asked surprised.
Luffy overheard the man and his head drooped down sadly.
The man with the coat held out a big bag, and then handed it to the owner, who happily took it, and then handed him the bracelet.
Luffy grumbled and headed outside to wait for Nami.
Luffy sat down on a bench and then sighed.
Suddenly, something was tossed to Luffy, which landed on his lap.
Luffy looked down and his face was filled with surprise.
It was the tangerine bracelet.
Luffy looked over to see the trench coat man walking away with a hand on his hat that was pushed down so his eyes couldn't be seen.
Luffy grinned and called out. "Thank you!"
The trench coat man simply smiled and waved back at Luffy while continuing to walk forward.
Luffy put the bracelet in his pocket so Nami wouldn't see it and continued waiting.
"Hey, Luffy!" called Nami who was waving at him.
"Let's go, everyone's waiting!" she called out.
Luffy grinned again and jumped to his feet and ran toward Nami while smiling all the way there, while the trench coat man looked back at Luffy, and then smiled mysteriously.
If you could find a word that meant bigger than enormous, it would be used to describe the amusement park.
"Cool!" Luffy shouted.
Usopp and Chopper were looking around at the different rides happily.
Luffy ran toward the Ferris wheel with everyone behind him.
When they got there, Luffy was already waiting for his turn.
"Wait a minute Luffy!" Sanji called out.
"What, Sanji?" Luffy asked impatiently.
"The Ferris wheel is the perfect place for couples to ride, and since you don't have a girlfriend or somebody to go with, you can just forget about riding." Sanji said with a puff of smoke.
"What? No fair!" Luffy said sullenly.
Nami glanced over, and sighed. "The Ferris wheel, if I could get Luffy alone on it, that'll be enough." Nami thought to herself.
Nami walked forward while Luffy was complaining to Sanji about what Sanji said.
The Ferris wheel slowed down and two people got off.
"Do two of you want to ride?" asked the operator.
"No thank you sir-" started Sanji until Nami cut in by grabbing Luffy's arm.
"We'll go." Nami said with a smile.
Sanji dropped his cigarette in surprise, while Luffy looked happily toward the Ferris wheel.
The operator smiled and opened the door, and Nami and Luffy both entered.
Sanji was weeping, while Zoro was laughing, and Robin was smiling calmly.
"Don't worry Curly Brows, nothing's going to happen to them." Zoro said with a smirk.
"What did you call me Marimo?" Sanji asked threateningly.
"Who are you calling Marimo?" Zoro asked and unsheathed one of his swords.
With that, a fight shortly started.
On the Ferris wheel, Luffy was looking out the window happily, while pointing out objects they couldn't see well before.
Nami glanced over at Luffy's big grin. "Okay, I'm now alone with Luffy. Now what do I do? Darn it, I didn't think this far!" Nami thought angrily.
Luffy looked over and noticed Nami's face, which had a look of anger.
Luffy leaned in closer and asked. "What's wrong Nami? You sick?"
Nami looked over and instantly turned red at the sight of Luffy being close to her.
Nami heard her own heart beat hard and fast against her chest. "N-N-Nothing is wrong, baka."
Nami said with a punch to Luffy's head.
Luffy tilted his head to the side and placed his hand on Nami's forehead, which caused her to go even redder in the face.
Nami pulled back away from Luffy and then said. "I'm fine, it's just a little hot."
Nami bit the inside of lip when she said that. "Yeah like he's going to believe that." She thought.
Luffy continued to stare at Nami. "You still look sick." Luffy said.
"I told you, I'm fine." Nami said sternly.
Luffy still continued to stare at Nami even though Nami started to look out the window so as to not see Luffy.
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" Luffy said suddenly that made Nami look over.
Luffy dug his hand into his pocket and brought out a small box.
"I found the box inside my pocket already, strange huh? Anyway, here you go."
Luffy said smiling as he held the box in front of Nami.
Nami blushed deeply and lifted the box. "You didn't have to get me anything, Luffy." She said quietly.
Luffy grinned and then shook his head. "I had to get you this though! You said you liked it so, I got it!" Luffy said happily.
Nami opened the box and took out the bracelet with the tangerine design on it.
"You… got me this?" Nami asked and looked over at Luffy.
Luffy nodded grinning.
"Thank you…Luffy. I don't anything for you though." Nami said while her face became completely red.
"I don't want anything." Luffy said happily.
Nami stared into Luffy's eyes until Luffy suddenly said. "Nami, why are you staring at me?"
Nami jolted at the question and said. "Well, I…just was… thinking about something… and I was staring at you." Nami finished.
Luffy tilted his head and lowered his face until it was in front of Nami's.
"Luffy?" Nami asked uncertain of what Luffy was doing.
"You look sick." Luffy said finally.
"I'm not though." Nami said while blushing.
"Why does he think I look sick? Is it cause I'm blushing or something? What an idiot, he can't tell the difference between being sick and a blush?"
Nami thought as Luffy placed his hand on Nami's forehead again, only this time, Nami didn't jerk away.
"Luffy." Nami said quietly after a while.
"Huh? What is it, Nami?" Luffy asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to say your name." Nami said with a blush.
"Really?" Luffy asked puzzled.
"Yeah." Nami said quietly.
It was silent for a while, and Luffy still had a hand on Nami's forehead.
Finally, Luffy said. "Nami."
Nami looked up into Luffy's eyes. "What?" she asked him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to say your name." Luffy said grinning.
Nami blushed more, and Nami moved a little closer to Luffy.
Luffy also moved toward Nami and their faces were almost touching each other till suddenly, the Ferris Wheel stopped, and Nami and Luffy both blushed and quickly moved back before the door opened.
Luffy let Nami exit first and then walked out afterwards.
"Darn it, I was so close… I can't believe that almost happened. What's wrong with me?" Nami asked herself, but the thought quickly disappeared when she saw Luffy grinning at her.
Nami grinned as well, and the group went to explore the park, and have fun!

Sanji- You know I'm behind you.
Yeah, and that's why I said it. Chapter 3 is up and now I'm going to start running from this guy.
