Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece

Hello again! Sorry for the delay, again! I started writing the 3rd chap in almost a day after uploading the 2nd, but after some point I didn't know what to write but I didn't stop it there, and I started writing it that soon because I was extremely happy that someone reviewed on my story! Thank you Wordlet! :) And yes, I know that I'm exaggerating because I got one review but still, I can't help it, I'm happy! That's why I'll do my best in this chapter (and the next ones too!)! Also! Sorry if the characters sometimes looked/will look a bit OOC, but it is done so that the story will progress without any trouble! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

The next morning Nami woke up only to discover that she was covered by a blanket and her neck was stiff because of the position she slept in. She remembered that she was drawing her maps when she felt sleepy and, when she made sure her things were somewhere where they wouldn't fall, she fell asleep. She was sure though that at some point she'd felt something warm caressing her cheek, but she shrugged it off because she thought that it must have been her imagination. She then noticed that it was still quiet early and she had to go to the women's quarters so that Robin wouldn't worry when she noticed that she wasn't on her bed. She got up and walked her way out of the observation room and went quietly to her room. She opened the door slowly and closed it. She put the blanket inside of one of her drawers and then went to take a small nap before having to get up again and go outside for breakfast, she didn't even bother to change her clothes before taking a nap so that she will not wake up Robin

'I can change my clothes when it's time for breakfast' she thought and so she fell asleep.

Breakfast was far more quiet than usual, nobody dared to look at their captain or navigator, and nobody dared to talk about the previous night's events. Even Luffy wasn't acting like himself, he wasn't stealing anybody's food, and although that was kind of a good thing, it still felt weird. Nami was sitting at the other side of the table, across from Luffy, and she glanced at him from time to time to see if he will say something, which he didn't. There was an awkward silence and nobody dared to break it. Until someone finally got the courage to…

"S-Say, Nami, how many hours are there left until we reach the next island?" Ussop asked a bit nervous because of the intensity of the silence

"A-Ah yeah, we are supposed to reach the next island today, aren't we?" Chopper said also a bit nervously

"What was the name of that island again?" Zoro asked

"Sun Island, a summer island" Robin replied smiling

"So, Nami-san, when will we get there?" Brook asked before he added

"Also, can I see your panties?"

Nami didn't even bother to yell at him because of her bad mood but answered to his first question

"If we keep up with this speed, we will reach the island in an hour or so…" she said calmly

Everybody was shocked that she didn't yell at Brook, especially since she was wearing a skirt this morning and that made her an easy target for the perverted skeleton, who had gotten a bit closer to her since she didn't say 'no' and so he assumed that she said, in a way, 'yes'. But, unfortunately for him, Sanji noticed Brook getting closer and he then yelled with flames burning all around him

"Oi, you perverted skeleton, keep your hands off from my Nami-swan!" and so Brook backed down because he was scared of the cook's anger.

After they finished breakfast, they went out of the kitchen to do the things they usually did: Luffy went to Sunny's head to sit down and watch the sea, Ussop went with Franky to the workshop to build machines useful for Sunny, Chopper went to the infirmary to make some medicine and rumble balls in case they needed them, Brook went with Franky and Ussop to play his songs while they were building Sunny's upgrades, Zoro went to train at the crow's nest, Sanji stayed back at the kitchen to clean the dishes, Robin went to the library to read some books and Nami went to her beach chair to sunbathe. Only Nami and Luffy were outside at the deck.

After a while, Nami decided to take a bath and so before Franky went to the workshop, she had asked him to bring out the Surprise Pool so that she could swim, they weren't going with a lot of speed so it would be safe to swim. She wore the same bikini that she'd wore when Shiki kidnapped her, although she didn't really want to wear it, but it was the first she found in her wardrobe and she was bored to search for her other bikini.

She walked carefully on the material of the pool so that she wouldn't lose her balance until she found where she wanted to sit down. At first she had only her legs inside the water but after a while she got inside and swam. Unbeknownst to her, someone was watching her from afar because he wanted to swim, with a buoy of course, too. So when he decided that he would swim too, he went to change into his swimming trunks and get his buoy with air. In the meantime, Nami was floating on the water as she was relaxing while watching the blue sky, and then she dipped down into the water to see the small fish as they passed by. She then noticed some big eyes staring at her with hunger. Yes, a sea king had seen her and it decided that it was hungry and wanted to eat her. Nami narrowed her eyes in shock. She got to the surface quickly hoping the giant sea creature would give up on her, but no, it didn't. It got its head up above the sea and then Nami saw that it was a giant shark looking at her while drooling. She gulped, and then it came, charging towards her, who didn't have anything to defend herself with, so there was only one thing that she could do…Scream. And so she did, she screamed loudly enough hoping that someone would hear her. And someone did, Luffy, who had finally done making his buoy, after hearing the scream he immediately ran outside to see what was going on, and then he saw the giant shark trying to attack Nami who was so scared that she couldn't move an inch to avoid it. Luffy then yelled "A-Amazing!" while his eyes sparkled. But because of the yelling Nami was startled and lost her balance and almost fell into the sea. Yes, almost because Luffy noticed that Nami had lost her balance and so he stretched his arm to catch her, in which he succeeded. When he caught her he brought her on the deck and placed her next to him, her body against his side. Nami woke up from the shock and then noticed that she was too close to Luffy and so she tried to get herself free from his hand and go hide somewhere safer because she knew what was coming next. But before she could free herself, Luffy let his haki out, and the monster passed out, but because of that, Nami lost her balance and fell down, bringing with her Luffy who was still holding her.

"Ouch…" she said as she opened her eyes slowly to see two big, owlish, eyes staring at her own and she blushed a little realizing the position they were in. He was standing on top of her, while standing onto his arms so that he would not crash her with his weight, and with their legs entwined. Nami couldn't help but blush at this awkward position they were in.

"L-Luffy, c-could you please g-get off me?" she asked still looking into his eyes while she felt her cheeks getting hotter by the minute

"Ah, yeah" he replied without showing any special emotions for the situation they were in

'That dense idiot. Why am I the only one getting embarrassed?' Nami thought

Luffy then got off of Nami and held out a hand to help her to her feet. At first she hesitated a little but then she accepted it and got up face-to-face with him

Luffy looked at her with a serious expression when he started saying "N-Nami, I'm sorry that I shouted at you yesterday for no reason, I was just a little frustrated by all the questions that were coming one after the other, and I lost control of my emotions. I'm sorry" he finished and looked at her with a sad expression

"What are you talking about Luffy? You just had a bad dream about Ace and us, of course you would lose control of your emotions, it's natural, but don't forget that I'm-we are here whenever you need to talk to someone and also…" her expression softened and turned a little sad "…I know how much it hurts to lose someone important to you. I was the same with Bellemere-san, I never really got over her death completely before you came and saved my village from Arlong. Even now, sometimes, I see nightmares about the day Bellemere-san died and can't get a good night's sleep, but I still know that it's all in the past now that Arlong is defeated and Cocoyashi is safe and I have so many nakama that will help me, that it calms me down every time I remember those times…So, if something is bothering you then come and tell me about it and I'll help you in any way I can, just like you did for me" she finished her speech with a warm smile looking at him

Luffy smiled back at her and put his hat on her head before grining his too-big-for-his-face grin and saying "Arigatou, Nami" and then he went to Sunny's figurehead to see when they were going to reach the next island. Nami smiled happily as she touched the hat that was now on top of her head remembering he had done before he went to fight Arlong

She then went to her beach chair to sunbathe some more while drawing a map. After a few minutes Sanji emerged from the kitchen with a mikan juice for his beloved Nami-san because he figured she would get a little thirsty after swimming.

"Nami-swan! I made a drink for you~!" he said while in his love-mode

"Thank you Sanji-kun" she smiled at him and took the drink to sip a bit before going back to drawing her maps, but she was startled a bit when Luffy yelled

"Island! We are reaching an island!" he yelled while jumping over and over from his excitement

Nami checked her logpose to see if this was the correct island and, indeed it was. After a few seconds the whole crew emerged from inside the ship upon hearing Luffy's yelling and went to see how long it will take them to reach it. Suddenly the climate changed from normal to hot and everyone went to change into lighter clothes. Nami first went to take a shower and then changed into a swimsuit top, the same she wore when they met again after two years, and short shorts. Robin was wearing the same clothes as then too, Zoro changed into the same clothes he wore when they'd reached Hand Island and Sanji and Ussop were too. Chopper and Brook didn't change, Brook because didn't feel the change of the climate since he didn't have skin and Chopper because whatever he wore it would just make it worse. Luffy didn't change either because he was bored to do so. But he would be okay since he was wearing his swimming trunks and his blue shirt with a shark on it. They were all excited to step on solid earth again, it had been almost a week and if they didn't reach the island soon, they would run out of supplies and so they needed to go shopping. They couldn't wait until they reached the island…

That must do it for now! :) I hope you liked this chapter and again sorry for taking so long to upload, and sorry for slowly describing the hours before reaching the island, but I did it because I've got a lot of plans for this island ;) He-He-He… *devious smirk* Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter and now, if you'll excuse me I'll go to bed because it's already 2:00 am here so… I'm pretty tired XD Goodnight! (or Good morning if it's morning where you live)
