Chapter Four: Angry

Nami was just about to enter the Sunny when she saw an enraged Hancock storm towards her. She narrowed her eyes and turned toward the Warlord.

"What's wrong with you?"

"So...that's how it's gonna go?"

Nami cocked her head.

"What the hell are you even talking about?"

"Looks like I'm going to have to bring it up a notch..."

"I have yet to understand a single word that has come out of your big mouth."

Hancock gritted her teeth and grabbed her collar.

"Stop playing dumb! Where did you just go with my Luffy!?"

"Nowhere! And let go of me you bitch!"

"Like hell! Just because you see him everyday doesn't mean that I still can't win him!"

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP!?"

Hancock forcefully let go of her collar and clenched her fists.

"What's so special about YOU? You're just some ugly hag who just so happens to be on his crew..."

"Ok. THAT is IT!" She yelled. She was just about to give her a good slap on the face when she hit her target sooner than it should've. Luffy stepped in the middle and barely even moved at the slap. He was very stern.

"Stop fighting dammit..." He said and both of the girls winced at the sight of him.

"Luffy?"

" I was about to tell Hancock about all this, but you apparently found each other before I did. Hancock." He turned toward her, who was sweating nervously.

"I just told Nami that I am going to have to decide between one of you. What I choose is what I choose, and I don't want to hurt either of you, but if it keeps going on like this you two are going to kill each other. Is that clear?"

Both the girls nodded and Luffy slowly walked back to the tree to decide. Hancock began to walk away, giving Nami a very scary look.

XXXXXXXXXX

Dinner came and Luffy was still in deep thought under the tree. Robin brought the food over to him (Since Hancock and Nami both wanted to do it) and soon night fell. Nami fell right asleep, but Hancock couldn't. She just couldn't take it if Luffy went with that carrot-head. It would KILL her, literally. She finally couldn't take it anymore and headed out to the tree where he was sleeping.

"L-Luffy?" She stuttered. No answer. She couldn't tell if he was thinking or sleeping since his eyes were covered by his hat. She asked again, and sat down next to him when he didn't answer.

Just being by him soothed her. Now that he was sleeping, Hancock could actually see him. Normally he was always moving when she was around, so she took in as much as she could. She stopped at his chest.

"Wow..." Even though he was almost unhealthily skinny, his muscles were impressive. She flinched a bit at the sight of the scar, remembering what had happened at Marineford, then very hesitantly traced her finger around it.

"Hancock."

Hancock jolted and fell over backwards at this. Luffy lifted his hat and stared at her oddly.

"I-I'm sorry Luffy I just..." She couldn't think of any excuse and blushed madly. "I just...I.."

"What are you sorry about?" Luffy laughed. He sat up and clasped his feet together. Hancock rubbed her neck.

"Uh...have you made up your mind yet?" Luffy frowned comically.

"No...It's hard..." He whined. Hancock giggled at his behavior and sat down. Luffy yawned, then kept staring at her. Several minutes passed by, and Hancock was about to burst from his stare.

"Um...do you want me to go?"

"Not really."

Hancock looked away at this. She couldn't control the color of her face anymore; it was covered with a bright red color. She took a deep breath and turned back to him, but she shrieked when she saw Luffy's face uncomfortably close to hers.

"W-What are you doing!?"

He didn't answer and he just curiously cocked his head and looked around, inspecting every part of her face. He then sat back with a "Hmmmph" and crossed his arms for some reason only he seemed to know. Hancock really couldn't stand this anymore, and she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind.

"W-Want to go see some fish!?"

Luffy's smile instantly widened.

"Yeah!" He stood up, grabbed Hancock's hand, and pulled her toward the Sunny. Once they reached the deck. Luffy very quietly opened the door to the aquarium and stepped in. He closed the door just as silent and turned on the light.

"Hello Luffy Jr.! I'm back!" Luffy whispered as he tapped the glass next to a giant catfish. The catfish swam away and Luffy shoved his face against the glass, trying to get closer to it.

"H-hi Luffy Jr..." Hancock waved timidly at the fish she met yesterday. She was exploding inside. Here they were again...

"This fish is so weird! It has nine fins!"

"Wow..."

"And this fish is purple! How awesome is that!?"

"Amazing..."

"Holy crap! Look at this one!"

After about twenty minutes of jabbering about the fish, Luffy was leaning sideways to get a closer look one, when he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground harshly. Hancock rushed over to him,

"Are you alright!?"

Luffy rolled over on his back and burst out laughing.

"That was so funny!"

Hancock began laughing too.

"Yeah...that was pretty funny..."

Luffy stood up, still cracking up at himself, and adjusted his hat. Hancock coughed and they stared at each other for a while.

"Are you going to say something?" Asked Luffy, still smiling.

"Uh...I dunno what to say..." Replied a flustered Hancock.

"Alright...I'm gonna leave! See ya tomorrow!"

Luffy tipped his hat to Hancock and started toward the door. Hancock froze for a second, before running after him and grabbing his shoulder.

"Hold on!"

Luffy stopped and turned around confused, before Hancock hugged him tightly around the neck. Luffy's cheeks turned pink for a second, then Hancock broke off.

"I just..." She sighed. "Just in case you didn't choose me I..."

Luffy laughed heartily and looked into her eyes.

"Hey. Even if I don't choose you we'll still be friends right?! Friends hug each other!"

Hancock smiled softly at this, then nodded.

"Uh huh!"

Luffy giggled with a "Shishishi" and looked around the room at the fish.

"You know...I could probably stay here a little longer..."

Hancock cocked her head.

"What?"

XXXXXXXXXX

Sanji woke up to a small thump that night. He didn't know what it was, but he was already awake. He barely had any freedom during the day anyway, might as well go out for a bit. He lit a cigarette and sat out on the deck, watching the stars.

"What a nice night." He said to himself. Several minutes passed and he heard another thumping sound, but it sounded different. He quirked his head and looked around.

"It must be in one of the rooms..." He said. He puffed his cigarette and went looking for the origin of the sound.

Kitchen? No.

Crow's Nest? Nope...

He continued to look around the Sunny, until he opened the aquarium. His cigarette fell out of his mouth.

Hancock had Luffy pushed against the wall, hashing it out with no objections. They didn't even notice the door opening. Sanji's mouth was agape.

"What the hell is going on here!?"

Hancock quickly let go and fell over backwards in shock, blushing madly. Luffy still had his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, as if waiting for more.

"C-cook? Um...W-what are y-you doing up?"

"Can you please explain what just happened here!?"

"W-we just were..."

"Sanji?!" Luffy's eye snapped open and he yelped, hid behind the bar-pole, and whimpered.

"Crap...I'm going to die..." He whispered to himself.

"Captain..." He warned, and Luffy hesitantly stepped out into sight. Sanji gently motioned for Hancock to leave, then closed the door.

"WHAT was going on here?"

Luffy sighed heavily.

"You saw...There's nothing else I can really say..."

Sanji winced a bit at his response. This was NOT Luffy...He actually was thinking what he saw was just an illusion. Luffy was asexual...right?

"I need to get some sleep..." Luffy said, and he walked out the door. Sanji just stood in the room, trying to decipher what he had just seen.

XXXXXXXXXX

Morning came, and Luffy was still at the tree, thinking. Nami and Hancock gave each other dirty looks, and went on with their day. Chopper was talking with Ursula.

"Yeah...I need to give her another check-up..." Ursula finished.

"Oh! That reminds me! EVERYONE! IT'S MONTHLY CHECK-UP DAY!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and headed over to the infirmary, where Chopper inspected them to see if they were sick. Luffy was telling really stupid jokes to Usopp as they were waiting. Sanji was watching him closely. There was something...off about him...even then.

"Sanji! You're up!"

Everyone watched as Chopper stuck a thermometer in his mouth, and did other doctorly things.

"Alright! You're fine!"

Sanji gave a thumbs up and stood of to the side, watching the others.

"Luffy! You're good too!"

Luffy twinkled proudly.

"Yep! As always!"

Nami snorted at this.

"Seriously...Have you EVER gotten sick in your life?"

Luffy turned toward Nami and grinned.

"Nope!"

"How is that even possible?"

Luffy shrugged.

"Maybe because my insides are so awesome and strong that they kick all the sick-stuff's asses!"

Nami turned toward Chopper for a real answer. He smiled.

"That's actually not too far away from truth..." He remarked, trying to keep in laughter. Nami rolled her eyes.

"There's Luffy for ya..."

"OI! I can hear you ya know!

Chopper looked around to the others who were waiting.

"Anyone else here never been sick before?"

Sanji raised his hand and Zoro semi-raised it, saying "Sorta kinda"

"What do you mean by "Sorta kinda"?"

"I got sick as a baby..."

Everyone held in their laughter at the thought of Zoro being a baby and Zoro yelled at everyone. Once everyone was calmed down, Chopper continued with the examinations.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Nami. Hancock. Nami. Hancock. Nami. Hancock. Nami. Hancock."

Luffy groaned and tugged his hat over his head.

"It hurts too much to think!" He huffed and laid on his back. He had tried listing pros and cons, he had tried random pickings, he STILL couldn't decide. He just watched the clouds go by, thinking about which one he would choose.

""Well...she's a Warlord, and a captain of her own crew. Would it be a good idea to like someone like that?"

"Nami makes a fantastic point..." He muttered. "But...then Hancock..." He grabbed at his hair. "GAH! WHY"S IT HAVE TO BE SO DAMN HARD!?"

"LUFFY!" Chopper's voice was heard from close by and Luffy shot his head up.

"What? Chopper?" He stood up and Chopper looked up at him with fearful eyes.

"Nami and Hancock are fighting!"

"Are they yelling at each other?"

"NO! They are really hurting each other! I can't go treat their wounds!"

Luffy's eyes widened.

"What?"

"You have to stop them before Nami gets killed! She's getting murdered out there!"

Luffy gritted his teeth, then sprinted off desperately to where the two women were brawling.
