Meanwhile after having so much fun dancing around with some of the cocktail waitresses, Brook and Usopp had decided to go over to the sushi area to get some good chow and maybe attempt to flirt with the sexy naked girls serving sushi. Brook went over to join Franky at the table where the drop dead gorgeous brunette girl was.
Usopp went over to the pretty blue haired girl who was surrounded by some of the new members fawning over her. Over at Robin's area.
"OW! Super!" As he did his famous funny pose. Robin subtly burst out laughing sweetly. That's when Brook came over and introduced himself to Robin. "How do you do...madam?" As he took a polite bow to show his respects to the beautiful lady in front of him. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Skeleton. My name's Nico Robin. You can call me Robin." She smiled at him politely and clearly not shocked at all about a talking skeleton.
"The pleasure's all mine to meet such a beautiful lady. Please call me Brook. Do you find if...you show me...your panties?! Yohohohohohohohohoho!" And with that Franky punched Brook at the top his skeleton head hard to the point where it could have smashed in. "Baka! She's already...naked! Can't you see that? Baka!" A shade of red came upon his face as he looked at her again.
"Yohohohohohohohohohoho! I was just kidding! My eyes were just blinded by her exquisite beauty! Although I don't have any eyes since I'm already dead! Yohohohohohoho!" "Baka! Shut up! I hear your dang Skeleton jokes every day!" Robin began to laugh sweetly again, clearly enjoying their company and funny antics. Franky saw this and smiled to himself. "Ow! SuuUUPPPppEERRR!" As he did his funny dance to impress robin even more.
Over at Vivi's area. There were a few guys hanging around the pretty blue haired girl. "So...Sexy!" Random new crew members were saying as they were eating the delicious sushi with chopsticks off her naked body. Chopper was nearby as well munching happily at the yummy food in his corner. Usopp slowly went over to Vivi.
"Um,...Hello" He said kind of awkwardly and looked away as his face blushed slightly red. She looked up at him and sincerely smiled. "Hello,...Please enjoy yourselves!"
Luffy having finished all the food they served him, went over to Vivi. He actually forgot that all mouthwatering sushi were lying on top of a beautiful naked Vivi since he was so intoxicated by his never ending hunger. He then licked all the tasty sushi off of her body in a couple of gulps. Vivi shrieked a bit for not anticipating that all the sushi would be off her like that. She was so glad at least the pretty flowers still covered her private parts. Usopp and the random crew members were in gushing red nose bleeds along with their jaws wide open.
Sanji hearing Vivi's cry had suddenly gotten up from posse of gorgeous women to help out his damsel in distress. Upon arriving the scene and realizing what just happened, Sanji kicked rock hard onto Luffy's head several times. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Luffy slowly rubs the huge bump on his head,"Eh?! When since were you...?" Soon realizing his mistakes, Luffy bows his head down to the startled naked beauty. "I'm sorry...I guess I let my hunger get the best of me."
"It's...alright...I'm sorry for freaking out like that." She tried to reassure Luffy and Sanji that she was just shaken up a bit but she was really alright. "There's no need to apologize madam mo isle, Luffy should be sorry for treating a lady like that!" Sanji gave Luffy a disappointed scowl.
Luffy then took a pair of wooden chopsticks, stuck them up his nose, and began to sing Brook's song Bink's sake in front of Vivi. Vivi started laughing out loud. Sanji came back to his other senses and had gushing cherry red nose bleeds as soon as he took a look at Vivi. Chopper began to stick up some chopsticks onto his nose and began to dance along with Luffy. Upon hearing his captain singing Bink's Sake; Brook came over to play vintage violin and began to sing along. Vivi started to sing along with Luffy.
Brook:Yohohohohohoho, Yohohohohoho, Yohohohohohoho, Yohohohohohoho, Yohohohohoho,
Luffy: Going to deliver Bink's Sake! Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves!
Vivi: Going to deliver Bink's Sake! Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves!
Brook: Far across the salty depths! The Merry evening sun! Painting circles in the sky as the Birds sing!
Luffy: Farewell to the harbor, to my old hometown. Let's all sing out with a Don! As the ship sets sail!
Vivi: Farewell to the harbor, to my old hometown. Let's all sing out with a Don! As the ship sets sail!
Luffy: The waves are our pillows, The ship our roost! Flying the proud Skull On our flags and our sails!
Vivi: "The waves are our pillows, The ship our roost! Flying the proud Skull On our flags and our sails!"
Vivi looks over at Luffy and genuinely smiles up at him. She was clearly enjoying herself with him. Since the party started, the only thing she was able to do was lay there quietly and perfectly still while perverted and horny pirates were eating sushi off her nude self. It was her first laugh and the first fun thing she did since the party started. She felt relieved by Luffy to turn this event into a fun party for her. Vivi blushed slightly pink as she gazed upon the adorably cute goofy singing and dancing pirate captain.
Meanwhile over at Nico Robin's area.
"So...Umm, Robin when are you off?" "Soon...Hopefully, Why?" She looked up at him curiously and wondered what he was up to.
"Uh...Nothing. Just thought you'd like to take a break and maybe...eat some dinner...in a proper way. I mean eat dinner on a...table...somewhere nice..." Franky trying to talk so casual with her.
"Are you by any chance asking me out on a date, Franky?" "Uh...no...I mean you haven't eaten yet?...Have you?...You should probably eat something..." He smiled at her impishly while blushing steaming red. "I'd love to." She smiled up at him sweetly. "I mean if you don't want to, I understand...Wait, What?" Franky stopped talking as he was completely baffled. "I said I'd love to, it sounds like fun." She laughed sweetly while leaving Franky to turn even more red all over his body.
Meanwhile over at Nami's table area.
"So you doing anything later?" He asked out of nowhere really. "Huh? Why?" She looked up at him confused. ' Huh? What is with this guy?' She thought to herself. "Nothing really, just asking." He merely shook his shoulders indifferently."Well...see you." He turned away from Nami and began to saunter off.
"Huh? What?...Hey Wait!.." Nami was shocked and confused by his question and behavior. But it was already too late, He was walking back to the bar area. She wanted to scream her frustration out at the Baka."Uh,...Baka!" Zoro sighed as returned to his spot near the bar. 'What am I doing?' Zoro thought to himself. 'Do I like...her?' He took a quick look at the fiery red head again and thought, 'Nah.. I can't possibly like her... Or do I?' He sipped his beer while stealing any other glance at Nami.
Later that night when the extravagant party had finally ended, Zoro was waiting in the cold night air outside Heavenly Paradise at the back. He waited at the green street lamp as the tired and exhausted workers started to come out the old black door. He spotted Nami among the crowd of sleepy workers and saw that she was wearing a long tan trench coat and hugged it tightly around herself. She was also with her posse of sushi co-worker girls. It was kind of odd to see them in warm clothes all of a sudden.
Zoro casually leaned at the green lamp post and glanced ahead of him. He could hear them talking and laughing among-st themselves. As they drew near, he caught a glimpse of their conversation. Robin laughing sweetly, "What do you guys think of...Him?" "He's...Cute...isn't he?," Robin added. Nami and Vivi were smiling ear to ear at each other.
Nami: "Hmm, you mean their blue haired ship wright? His name's Franky, right?" She questioned her tall brunette nakama.
Vivi: "He seems like a really sweet guy, Robin." She sweetly smiled at Robin and slowly nodded her head.
Nami:" I agree, I liked the way he asked you out. He seemed really genuine about it." She felt sad after she said it, though she didn't know why. Zoro looked like he wasn't paying any attention at all when in actuality he was. 'Franky?...He asked out one of these girls?...Well at least it's not nami' He thought to himself. 'Uh, what am I thinking?... Do I...really... like her like that?' 'Well I probably do since I'm out here waiting in the cold for...her.' He thought deeply to himself.
"So when's your date with Franky, Robin?...Hehe." "Well, he wanted to have dinner after the party and I told him, I'd love to. But later on, I told him to move the date next Saturday." Vivi: "Eh? Really? You guys were making so much of a connection; I thought you'd go straight into dating." Robin: "Well, I did wanted to go with him right away, but I thought if he really likes me, he wouldn't mind waiting a bit for our date..."
Nami: "Makes sense to me, I don't think you wanted to be a booty call, Robin. You're so much better than that." Vivi:"Ah, I get it now. You really wanted to make sure, his intentions were good." Robin: "It'd be a shame, if sex was all he wanted." She seemed to sadden a bit.
Vivi: "Hey cheer up! He agreed to wait for your date next Saturday, right? That means something, right?" Nami: "That's right, Robin...It shows he's willing to wait for you! I think he really does like you, But IF he ever hurts you..." Nami had that slight angry scowl on her face.
Robin: "Hmm, guess you guys are right." She seemed happier now and was trying to help ease Nami's frustration. Nami: " And how about you, Vivi? I saw the way you looked at their goofy captain; Monkey D. Luffy...Hehe." Vivi: "Huh?, Oh...Uh... I just thought he was funny, that's all." She blushed scarlet red.
Nami:"Uh-huh, sure Vivi...Hehe." Robin laughed sweetly as well. Robin: "Yes, Vivi san, you were looking pretty impressed by him from what I could tell." She smiled happily at Vivi. Vivi: "Oh Okay...You guys caught me...he is pretty cute...isn't he?" Nami: "He's adorably cute...hehe. He should have asked you out, Vivi!" Which made Vivi blushed even brighter.
Robin: "And what about you, Nami san? I saw the way you looked at their green haired swordsman. What was his name again? Roronoa Zoro?" Zoro stiffened a bit as he heard his name being mentioned in the conversation. Nami:" Uh, what about him?...He's a Baka!" Though she slightly blushed soft pink. Robin: "It looked like you guys were having fun from what I could tell."
Vivi: "Nami! You're Blushing! OoOo! Hehe!" They were all laughing uncontrollably now. Nami tried to control her embarrassing pink blush as she tried to think of something else to get her mind off that Baka Zoro. Robin looked ahead and smiled so wide that it was mocking Nami when she realized where she was looking at. Or should I say 'Who' she was looking at. Robin continued to mock her nakama with her teasing smile,"Ah, Speak of the devil himself."
Vivi: "I wonder how much, he's heard us." She whispered softly to Nami. Nami looked ahead and seemed slightly annoyed, "Uh...What are you doing here?...I thought you left with your crew mates by now?" Her expression was a mix of confused annoyance and a bit happy that he was still there.
"I...thought I'd ask you something." He didn't really look her in the eye for some reason. He seemed nervous as well and put his hand behind his head."Well?...What?" She looked at him directly in the eyes. Zoro looked nervously at her group of companions without meeting her eyes. They suddenly knew what he was going to say. Robin: "Vivi-San, don't we have to do some last minute grocery shopping?" Vivi looked at Robin confused at first until she understood.
Nami: "Really? last minute grocery shopping? Right now?" She looked confused at both her nakama to make any sense of this. Vivi:"Uh yes!...You promised...to help me stock up my food supply. My apartment's been pretty scarce of food for a while, so I asked if you could help me after the party was done."
Nami: "Oh Ok, I get it. But why didn't you guys mention it any time sooner?" Still a bit unconvinced about the whole ordeal. Robin: "Mmmhmm yes, I just remembered it now." Vivi: "Well,...We'd better get going now, Nami! We'll just leave you two alone to chat. Ok Bye!."
Robin:"mmhmm, See you Nami-San! See you Zoro-San!" She took one last look at them before she laughed happily and went off with Vivi. After Robin and Vivi were had long gone off, Nami turned back to Zoro to demand some answers from him. "Well, Zoro what is it? My friends just went off suddenly out of nowhere...So this better be good, you hear me?" She said in a firm fierce tone. Zoro gathering up his courage to look her in the eye to say what was on his mind that entire night.
"Are you busy next Saturday?" He gazed at her intensely but not so much as to scare her. "Huh?" She was completely taken back by his question just like his other question earlier that night. "I said, are you busy next Saturday night?" He continued to gaze at her in the same way. "Uh...Why?...Why do you care?" She didn't know why she was answering back so defensively.
"I...just want to know if you're busy or not." He merely shrugged his shoulders and said the exact same thing earlier that night. That brought Nami back to her senses and started to punch him hard on the head which left a red stinging mark. "Ouch!...Geez!...What was that for?!" He screeched while his head throbbed painfully and ached so badly. "And here I thought it was something serious... I thought you were...gonna ask me..." She paused. "... Never mind, it was stupid of me to think so."
"Yes... I was going to..." He told her without her facing her as sat himself up onto the cold concrete side walk. "Huh?... Are you really serious?" "If... I wasn't... then I wouldn't be here waiting in the cold... for you." He still didn't turn around. Nami looked at him in awe. "I'm...sorry. I'm not...used to this... I get nervous." He deeply sighed and inhaled slowly. Silence filled the night air for a few moments. Nami's face relaxed into a gentle and awed speechless expression. She seemed touched by his vulnerability. "My answer's...yes." She looked at him and smiled.
"Huh?" Completely shocked by her answer and reaction. "Yes, I'll go out with you next Saturday. Pick me up at 7:00, okay?" She called over a yellow taxi and hopped in as she waved goodbye at him from inside. "Uh...Sure." He blushed slightly red. He also noticed that she left him a small note next to him that had her number written in pink lipstick.
