Ah finally got this chapter finished. I wasn't sure what to write for Nami so I thought it came out a bit sloppy. Yep this chapter is 'bout Nami. It was originally gonna be Usopp, Sanji, then Nami but I thought that Luffy had already considered her part of his nakama the moment he got to know her more properly.
Summary: Nami contemplates Luffy as she angrily cleans up her wrecked room.
Nami slammed the door to her mapping room resolutely and a few seconds later, she could hear Luffy's whiny voice saying sorry and it was an accident.
Leaning against the door, she scanned her room despite the dread that filled her being.
Luffy had accidentally launched himself into her mapmaking quarters and now, everything was a mess.
Just thinking about it made her stomach turn in fury. Who knows how many things the idiot captain had destroyed, including her hard worked on maps and to top it all off, the damage is going to cost money, which she is not happy to spend.
Of course, everybody got a taste of her anger and blamed most of the crew for not keeping an eye out on their stupid captain. Luffy, of course, got the brunt of most of her anger.
Nami sighed and began to clean up the room, seething all the while.
Sometimes, she wondered why she even thought to join this insane crew. They were so random and disorderly, it was a shock they had made it alive in the Grand Line so far.
Heck, they can't even take care of themselves properly. When she had first met Zoro and Luffy, they didn't even have an adequate ship but that wasn't too important.
What amazed her was the fact that they didn't even buy at least supplies of food and water opting to, instead, fish for their meals and hope to strike it rich. Not only that but the two numbskulls didn't even know the difference between north and south so they were just mindlessly drifting in dangerous seas until they got to where they needed to go.
Then Usopp had joined and they got a new ship. Now there was one more idiot and who ever knew that he and Luffy would be playmates and wreck havoc and become so noisy.
Then, she had stolen their vessel and everyone came to save her village and her from a fate that spun only sadness and misery.
Nami allowed a small smile to grace her face as she remembered the day she found her freedom again and she would be eternally grateful. But then she was once again, drawn in by reality and a scowl quickly replaced the smile.
Sanji had joined and he wasn't so bad. At least the food problem was taken care of but now, he and Zoro just can't stop lunging at each other's throats and fights for god only knows what reason.
Chopper wasn't so bad if only the doctor didn't act like an idiot like two of his other crewmates.
Robin was the only other sane person on this ship but she was so distant and far away.
Nami had often wondered how everyone else would have fared if she hadn't met them. She knew that they would get lost indefinitely but also, they could also run into almost twenty storms in one week.
How many times had she detected a storm and told her crewmates to brace themselves or avoid it if possible?
The Going Merry was a great ship but it could only stand so much battering until it sank. Nami decided she didn't like the idea of her nakama sinking into the watery depths and quickly tried to think of something else.
Nami was also the financial supervisor.
Of course she loved money and would do almost anything to get her hands on more but part of the reason why she seems so greedy is because you never know why you would need the money.
Working for years under Arlong made her realize just how important money was and having a lot of money may get her unstuck in a nasty situation and thus she saved and stashed. She kept in check how much money should be spent on supplies, repairs, and miscellaneous things.
If her idiot crewmates were given the money, they would probably spend it all on stupid and pointless things. Usopp would buy all kinds of junk and Luffy would have bought more meat than was necessary. They would be broke within the week.
She had often thought, not for the first time, how much an idiot Luffy was. He was rash, careless, and too overly annoying which is why Nami thought it was impossible for him to continue on without her.
Ever since she had officially joined Luffy's crew and even before, she had been making sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible even if she wasn't conscious of it. She kept everything in check and made sure everyone wasn't being too overly stupid.
Nami felt the overwhelming pulse of a bad headache at that. She should ask Chopper for medicine later. It was common to associate Luffy with headaches.
But, although Luffy more than enough frayed her temper and nerves, he didn't seem to mind Nami's violent tendencies toward his head.
He even trusted his precious straw hat to Nami. No one else could even so much as touch it if it could be helped and truthfully, it made the navigator feel special and happy to be trusted so much. Nevertheless, he was still an idiot.
But after thinking such a thought, Nami felt some of her fury dissipate and despite herself, a sort of pride. She felt like she wanted to continue being angry but at the same time, to let it go. Darn the fact that she couldn't stay angry with the childish captain although the way he could make her consecutively mad was another thing entirely.
Nami bit her lip in indecision and in the end, decided to work on some of her wrecked maps to work the rest of her frustration out.
A few hours later, the navigator held up the last map. Luckily, only about five of her maps got torn but not completely ripped up. She stood from her desk and opened the door outside, the salty sea air fully assaulted her. She stretched and sighed contentedly.
She allowed her eyes to stray to Luffy where he was being chased around by a very irate Zoro, laughing loudly. Usopp and Chopper were also whooping and cheering, which, Nami was sure, didn't pacify the swordsman one bit.
'Oh well, it was the little brother's job to annoy their older sisters,' Nami thought amusedly.
