Author's Note: Sorry that I didn't make Zoro a secretly awesome cook like some of you hoped him to be. I just never thought of Zoro being an awesome cook. But thanks for the reviews! You guys rock! Also, if you're interested in what other One Piece fanfics I'm planning to write in the future, just click on my penname and look under, "Plans for Future Fics." The fanfic "Loyalty and Pain" is currently being written in my notebook. Anyway, enjoy chapter 4!

Chapter Four

The Food Costs How Much!?

"Since you two knuckleheads don't know how to cook, that means I'll have to be the replacement cook."

"Ah, come on, Nami! Can't I cook again?"

"For the last time, Luffy! The answer is 'no!'" It was morning the following day. Once again, Nami had to choose who would be cooking today. Since Luffy turned out to be a dangerous failer and Zoro had no talent in cooking, Nami decided that it was up to her to feed the hungry crew. After all, she did do some cooking before she met Luffy and Zoro. "I'll be in the kitchen making breakfast."

"Hey, Nami!" Luffy ran up to Nami. "Since you won't let me be the replacement cook, can I be the assistant cook instead?"

"NO!" said Nami before slamming the door in Luffy's face. The kitchen was as messy as before. Nami shuddered when she saw the green and yellow stuff splattered on the wall. Whatever it was, she did NOT want to know. Nami opened one of the cupboards and jumped back. A stack of dirty plates crashed onto the floor from the cupboard. So Zoro decided not to wash the dishes, did he? Nami thought hotly. He's worse than Luffy! At least Luffy licked the plates clean! Wait…HE LICKED THE PLATES!? Nami felt a little nauseous. How could have she been so stupid as to forget that the plates that the food were on were the exact same ones that Luffy had licked? Well, there's nothing I can do about it now. Nami looked at the greasy frying pans. I just wish he at least cleaned the frying pans.

"Okay, guys, it's time for breakfast!" Nami had made omelets and sausages. The delicious smell had filled the entire kitchen. Luffy began drooling uncontrollably. He grabbed a fork and began wolfing it down.

"This is delicious!" said Luffy.

"Don't talk with your mouth open!" Nami smacked Luffy in the back of his head.

"He's right. This is really good," said Usopp.

"Good job, Nami," said Robin.

"Thank you!" said Nami. Then she smiled a rather evil smile. A dark look filled her eyes.

"Uh oh," said Usopp when he saw her eyes, "I don't like that look."

"I hope you guys have enough berries on you," said Nami sinisterly, "because that food costs 30,000 berries!" Everyone spat out their food.

"WHAT!?"

"You heard me." said Nami in a non joking voice. "Each of you has to pay me 30,000 berries for the food. Except for Robin, of course."

"No fair!" said Luffy. "How come Robin doesn't have to pay?"

"Because she's my friend," said Nami, smiley sweetly.

"I'm not paying you!" said Zoro. "I already owe you money, and there's no way I owe you more!"

"I refuse to eat this food!" said Usopp.

"Too late. You already took a bite out of it. You'll have to pay up." Nami picked up a plate of non eaten food. "I'm going to give Sanji his breakfast now. See you!" As Nami walked out, the rest of crew sat there, dumbfounded. Robin was the only one who continued to eat her food.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The room spun round nonstop. It has been this way ever since he woke up. Sanji felt miserable. This was the worst dizziness he had ever encountered. When he stood up earlier that morning to use the bathroom, the room was spinning so much that Sanji began swaying uncontrollably.

"What the hell?" said Usopp when he had woken up and saw Sanji swaying. "Sanji, are you dancing?" Even after lying down, the room still spun. Sanji had hoped that when the others were eating breakfast, the dizziness would stop. It didn't. Sanji sighed. When was this damn cold going to go away?

"Sanji? Are you awake?" Sanji's spirits rose when he heard Nami's voice. His darling Nami-swan was coming to feed him breakfast!

"Nami-swan!" said Sanji when he saw Nami. "I'm so glad you came!" Sanji sat up and the dizziness got even worse, but he didn't care.

"How are you feeling, Sanji?"

"The whole room is spinning, but that doesn't matter!" said Sanji happily. The cartoony hearts appeared. Nami only shook her head. Sanji was still the same, even when he lay sick.

"I brought you breakfast. You don't have to worry about Luffy and Zoro's cooking anymore. I'm the one who's cooking right now." Nami handed the plate to Sanji.

"Nami-swan, this is excellent!" said Sanji as he took a bite out of Nami's cooking.

"I'm glad you like it," smiled Nami.

"Nami-swan, after I get better, will you be the assistant cook?"

"No thanks. I already got my hands full as being the charter and navigator." Soon, Sanji finished eating his breakfast. This was the first time he had actually finished eating something after he had gotten sick. "Was it really that good?" asked Nami.

"It was perfect!" said Sanji. "Nami-swan, you're a goddess!"

"Thanks. That'll be 30,000 berries." Silence filled the room as Sanji tried to grasp at what Nami had just said.

"…Huh?"

"I said, 'That'll be 30,000 berries,'" repeated Nami.

"30,000 BERRIES!?" yelled Sanji in surprise. The dizziness got worse.

"That's right. That's how much you have to pay for the food."

"B-b-but Nami-swan! I don't have that kind of money!" The room started spinning faster and faster.

"Then you'll either have to work for me or puke up the food you just ate." Soon, the dizziness became too much for Sanji. Sanji yelled, "Mellorine!" before losing consciousness. Nami stood there for a minute, staring at the passed out cook, before finally picking up the plate and headed towards the door.

"I think I was a bit too harsh on him."

Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter isn't really that funny. I had time deciding what Nami should do, unlike Luffy and Zoro, who were very easy for me. Next chapter will be funnier, though.
