He lied there beside her sleeping body. He could feel her chest move up and down slowly. She was beautiful even when sleeping. Zoro trailed his finger from her face down to her jaw, neck and rest around her small arm. Her skin felt so warm. He smiled and couldn't help to kiss her temple. He looked at her cover legs. There was their doctor ship. His head rested peacefully on her left thigh. He had removed his blue hat and make it as a slumber.
"BREAKFAST~~~~!" Sanji shouted from the kitchen.
Zoro got up, 'so it's been morning already,' he thought. He patted Chopper's head to wake him up. Chopper opened a half of his eyelids. He turned his head to look from his shoulder. Rubbed his sleepy eyes when he got up.
"Did Nami wake up?" he yawned and strecthed his tiny arm.
"Not yet," Zoro replied. "You can go to breakfast first. I'm not hungry." He continued.
Chopper looked at Nami then Zoro, "Are you sure?" Zoro nooded, "Ok, I will bring your breakfast here."
"Thanks," Zoro amused.
Chopper wore his hat and went down from bed. He looked at her face once again before walked off to the kitchen. There was already Robin and Brook sat on bench. He waved his hooves to them. Robin smiled at him while Brook lifted his top hat. Chopper sat on the edge of the kitchen table. A few second later, the kitchen door opened and Luffy rushed in. Ussop and Franky were behind him. Now all of them were on the kitchen table. Sanji served the foods to them. He scanned them and no sign of marimo head. They asked Chopper about Nami. He shook his head as an answer, frowned. The other followed his facial.
"Where is Zoro, Chopper?" The cook asked him.
"He still didn't feel hungry. So he told me to eat first," He answered the cook, took a bite of the food.
"That stupid marimo, what if he get sick," he mumbled.
"So now you worried about Zoro, Sanji?" Ussop teased. Franky and Luffy laughed hard while Robin chuckled.
Sanji's curly brow twitched, annoying. He gave the sharpshooter death glare, "Shut your mouth, Dumbass! I just don't wanna make Nami-san worry because of that stupid Marimo get sick!" he defenced.
"Don't worry, Sanji. I will take his food," Chopper assured him. He knew even if Sanji and Zoro always fought, they were always be best friends.
"It's ok, Chopper. You can stay here. I will do it," Sanji was about to brought Zoro's food to infimary. Suddenly, Robin interrupted.
"Sanji-san, I will call him," Robin smiled to him as she got up. Franky gave her a wink and grin.
"No, thanks Robin-chan. I..." Sanji's words cut off by their captain.
"SANJI! MORE MEAT!" Luffy shouted from his seat.
"Shut your rubber mouth, stupid captain!" Sanji yelled madly.
Robin giggled as she excused herself to infimary, called their swordsman. Left the boys fought each other. She opened the infimary door, quietly. Her eyes crossed the room and found Zoro sat on the chair beside the bed. His hands were caressing Nami's face. She entered the room.
Zoro heard the door opened and he knew who was the person. He kept his eyes on his lover. The archeologist went inside and sat herself on the edge of the bed. There were some clean clothes on her lap.
"Cook-san want you to eat your breakfast," Robin said softly.
"I'm not hungry," he said shortly without looking at her.
Robin smiled and touched his shoulder, "I will watch Nami and call you if she wakes up." She could feel his body relaxed a bit.
Zoro glanced to her, "Thanks but I will stay here." He returned his eyes to Nami.
"Don't push yourself, Zoro. We all worried about her. Not only you. If Nami know you hadn't eat properly, she would blame herself to make you feel like this. And probably, she would kill herself," she told him, calmly.
Zoro sighed, gave up. Not because of Robin's creepy words, but she was right about Nami. He kissed Nami's forehead and caressing her warm skin before went out from sickbay. "Thank you, Robin," he opened the door and headed to kitchen.
Robin watched him out of there. She sat on the chair Zoro had sat before. She looked at the younger woman face, smiling. "I will change your clothes, Nami," she whispered to Nami's ear. And she swore that she saw the navigator's lips curved a bit. Perhaps, she wanted about to wake up. Robin removed Nami's tanktop and jeans carefully. She used extra hands to lift Nami's body. She put the new clothes on her, dropped the dirty clothes to the floor. She lied Nami's head back to the pillow. Brought the dirty clothes to the laundry's bin near Chopper's desk.
Robin turned her body to Nami. She was taken back a bit as she saw the navigator had on sitting position. She was smilling at her and looked healthy. Robin answered her smiled back, approched her. Robin sat on the side of the bed, facing Nami.
"Finally, you're up Nami. How are you feeling? Should I call Doctor-san?" Robin asked her patiently.
Nami shook her head, slowly. She just smiled, "Thanks for your kindness, Robin-dear."
"You call me with an usual name, Nami," Robin smirked a little.
"Nice to meet you, Robin-dear. I'm Yuna." Yuna greeted Robin.
Robin smiled although a bit shocked, "Nice to meet you too, Yuna-san."
"I want to meet the other. Would you mind to escort me?" Yuna asked.
"Absolutely yes, Yuna-san. But first, can you move her body well?" Robin got up from the bed, stood there.
"Yes, I can." Yuna swang Nami's legs from the bed. Her foot touched the floor slowly. She walked off after Robin who had opened the door.
~~~~~~~~in the kitchen~~~~~~~~~~~
The boys was still fighting for foods. Sanji kicked Luffy's head for stealing the ladies' meals. Ussop and Chopper yelled at their captain, grabbed back their food from Luffy's grip. Suddenly, the kitchen door opened and Yuna's guards came in. They sat on the bench. Luffy looked at them.
"Shanks, Hawky, let's eat with us!" Luffy said as he chewed the meat.
"Luffy, they were vampire. They just consume blood." Ussop recollect him.
"The long-nose guy was right, Luffy. We didn't eat human foods." Shanks chuckled.
Luffy frowned and pouted, "How boring!" he continued eating.
Franky asked them where they had been just now. Mihawk replied him with one word 'hunt'. The boys looked each other then shrugged, continued their eating. Shanks and Mihawk enjoyed their chatting while Luffy and the other were finishing their breakfast.
A several minutes later, the kitchen door opened. Zoro walked in and sat beside Franky. Without words, Sanji served his food. They didn't ask Nami's condition to him. His silence was enough to answer them. He ate the food and also joined the food fighting, silently. All at once, Shanks and Mihawk moved fast to the door, stood to each other side. The other looked at them confusely. Their curiosity answered when the door opened by Robin a moment later. She stopped and let the follower went first. Nami showed herself from the door. Robin closed the door and looked at her nakama, amused. They were smiling at the Navigator presence. Luffy and Chopper was about to hug her but stopped by Yuna's guards. They crouched down on one knee and called her, "Yuna-sama,"
Luffy and the other except Robin were a bit suprising then they recalled the first time when Yuna came into Nami's body. But after looked at the navigator's calm face, they cleared the thought. Robin asked Yuna to take a seat. She just nodded and glanced down at her guards, frowned. They still held their position. She opened her mouth, "Stand up," she ordered them. Mihawk and Shanks did it. The Strawhat only watched them, silently. "Why did you come late?" she continued and glared them.
Shanks started, "I..." but suddenly Mihawk cut him off.
"We were thristy and decided to hunt before come here." He answered, calmly.
Yuna narrowed Nami's eyes, examined him. She sighed heavily, "If you had hunted before, so what have you done to Nami last night, Mihawk-dear? Suck her blood innocently?" she asked with even tone. Mihawk looked down. "Did you know, you two had make her almost die?" Yuna added.
"He just cleared the poisoned blood. That's all." Chopper covered them quickly, looked from Franky's large shoulder. Shanks and Mihawk gave him thankfull face.
Yuna smiled to the little reindeer, "I knew it, Doctor-dear. But in fact, just Shanks-dear who had hunt. Mihawk-dear hadn't done it so he unconsciously sucked her blood and gulped them. Right, Mihawk-dear?" she face the Hawk eyed guard.
He nodded with calm face, "You can punish me, Yuna-sama." He offered.
Yuna shook her head, "No need. I know you has a limit. But if you done it again, you know what will I do," She shrugged. After that, Yuna bent Nami's body down to the Straw Hat, "I apoligize for causing these problems especially Sagara." Mihawk and Shanks followed her action.
"It's Alright. Importantly, Nami has fine!" Luffy grinned. They straightened the body and looked at the SHP crew who smiled and nodded. Yuna smiled back.
"Yuna-san, would you mind help Nami-san to eat her foods?" Sanji approached Yuna, took her hand.
Yuna nodded, "Certainly, Cook-dear. I was also hungry." She released Nami's hand from the cook politely and took a seat beside Zoro. Her guards told him not to touch her while Yuna still in Nami's body. Zoro nodded and shifted a bit. Sanji served Nami's food as Yuna sat. Robin sat herself infront of her. Mihawk and Shanks stood protectly behind her, their arms crossed on their back.
"So...where is Nami now?" Luffy decided to asked Yuna.
Yuna looked at him, "She is still sleeping and will wake up eventually. I used her body in case if you want to know 'something'."
"So you'll stay in her body?" Ussop added. Yuna glanced to him and nodded. "How long?
"As long as Nami wants me," she smiled, took a bite her food.
"So what happen with Nami? The first time you entered her body? Why did she change?" Chopper joined.
"She didn't want me but I couldn't do anything. Honestly, her body pulled in my soul." She answered and frowned. Nami's nakama gave wide eyes. "because of her rejection, my vampire side took control and made her wild. She would destroy anything on her sight without second thought. She couldn't distinguish her friend."
"What do you mean 'her body pulled in my soul', Yuna-san?" Robin rested her chin on the back of her palms.
Yuna placed her fork, "Nami had choosen by nature as a new avatar after me. Her abilities that could predict the weather was the reason. If the current Avatar had a dark side, automatically the next Avatar who still had pure soul would pulled the dark soul into her body. The dark soul would leave their own body, threw it back to their origin place. So as what have you seen now. My soul in her body while my body threw somewher probably back to Cocoyashi," The crew listened carefully. She took a breath before continued, "The new Avatar body would neutralize the dark power and separated it from light power. The dark power would stay in the new Avatar body and the light power in infected soul. After that new avatar could returned the healed soul back to the owner body. In this case was me. Avatar just enable to lock the dark power so that it wouldn't come out easily. The one who would destroy it was The Eliminator. But first off all, Nami must complete her avatar power. After that, she can discover the way on her own. And all of you will be her partners' training," She stopped to saw their facial.
"Us?!" the Straw Hat's eyes grew bigger, suprised.
"What's that mean?" Sanji asked more.
Yuna lifted her hand and showed 4 fingers, "I had divide you into 4 groups. First, Air Group was Sniper-dear and Cyborg-dear," she pointed her finger to Ussop then Franky. They clapped each other palms, "Water Group was Cook-dear and Skeleton-dear," Sanji then Brook. They smirked, "Earth Group was Robin-dear and Doctor-dear. Robin smiled at Chopper who smiled back," Robin then Chopper, "and Fire Group was Captain-dear and Swordsman-dear." Luffy then Zoro. They tossed each other fist. She place back her palm against the table. "Each groups only have one week for training. In other words you just had one month. Mihawk and Shanks would guide you. Would you help Nami-dear?" she raised an eyebrow, looked at their face.
The Straw Hat looked to each other then nodded. Luffy gave thumbs up and grinned widely. "Of course!" he shouted.
Yuna smiled, "I'm glad." She looked over Nami's shoulder, face her guards. "Start the training tomorrow after breakfast. You two have to make sure Nami-dear complete it in time. No matter what. You heard me?" she asked the guards. They nodded.
"Yuna-san," Robin called her. Yuna nodded to her direction, "You mentioned about The Eliminator before. Who or What was that?" she folded her arms on the table, narrowed her eyes.
Yuna looked at Zoro first, make him arched an eyebrow. Then she turned her eyes back, "Like I had said first, The Eliminator was the person who would able to stab even destroy Dark Avatar. He had used a big sword called Light Saver to do it. The one who would be The Eliminator was a swordsMAN not swordsWOMAN, the honourable ... and ... greatest... in ... the ... world." she smiled and turned her head back to Zoro. The crew except Zoro glanced to the swordsman, wide eyes.
Zoro returned Yuna gaze, "You mean, I was...The Eliminator?" he still curious.
"Yes," She answered him shortly.
"Whoah! Zoro Kakkoii!" Chopper's eyes sparkled. Franky and Ussop gave thumbs up. Sanji just smirked while Robin giggled. Luffy streched his arm and tapped Zoro's back. Brook gave his 'yohohoho'.
Zoro waved his hand infront of Yuna, "Wait...wait...Why me?"
"Do you believe in Magic?" (Y)
"No!" His nakama answered mockingly. Zoro looked at them, frowned.
"Gods?" (Y)
"No!" They answered again, Robin and Chopper giggled. Zoro rolled his eyes, snorted.
"I think...that was the reason," Yuna giggled at his annoyed face.
Zoro sighed defeatly, "What should I do then?"
"Waiting," Yuna responded. He knitted his eyebrows, curioused. She continued, "If you are looking for the sword, it will formed from your three swords. They will become one after...Nami-dear done her part."
"From my swords?" Zoro glanced a moment to his swords then Yuna. "How?"
"I don't know," Yuna used Nami's catty grin. The straw hat dropped from their chair, except Robin. She just chuckled.
"So that's mean I will only use one sword later?" Zoro scowled.
Yuna nodded, "But don't worry Roronoa-dear, your swords will back to their normal form after you accomplish the mission. That is your challenge," she assured. Zoro smirked.
"One more question, Yuna-san. Can I?" Brook lifted his bone hand with serious tone.
"Sure, skeleton-dear," she amused.
"Can I see your panties?" he bowed his bones.
"Can you ask something else besides panties, Pervert Grandpa?!" Sanji, Zoro, Chopper and Ussop smacked his bone head. Luffy and Franky laughed hard, held their stomach. Robin hid her laugh behind her hand. Shanks and Mihawk smirked.
"Honestly, I didn't wear any panties," Yuna answered calmly. Suddenly, Brook and Sanji got nosebleed. Luffy and Franky's laugh became louder, their dropped from the seat. Robin couldn't hold back her laugh. Chopper screamed and covered his ears from that amoral words.
"Don't answered him!" Ussop and Zoro shouted at her. Yuna just blinked innocently and shrugged.
Brook already recovered from nosebleed, "Actually, my question is why the raged Nami-san would be back after Zoro-san's touches?" his words made the other looked at his direction then Yuna. The crew gave concern looks.
Yuna twined her fingers, rest her chin on top of them, "The Eliminator touches would make the dark soul lost the strenght and buried deeply into the bottom of the body. So that make it hard to raise again for a month. That was all."
The straw hat nodded their head. After that, Yuna continued feed Nami's body. The crew joined her as Sanji served the ladies foods. Accidently, Yuna touched Zoro's left hand then straightly fainted. Zoro felt something brush his fingers, he looked at his left and shocked. Strainghtly he dropped onto his knees and caught Nami's body before touched the floor. Luffy and the other got up from their seat, looked at them with worried face.
"She should be more careful," Mihawk rolled his eyes, shook his head.
"Indeed," Shanks nodded his head, crossed his arms.
Zoro brought her body and lied on the bench. Chopper rushed to her side and checked her pulse. Nami stirred a little before opening her eyes. She gazed first at her friend and suddenly jumped to Zoro, made him fall backward and landed on his butt hard. She clunged her arms and legs around him tightly, buried her head on the crook of his neck. They looked at the young navigator, confusely.
"What the hell, woman?" Zoro grumbled and tried to loosened her grips. She tightened her hold as Zoro wanted to released her. He gave up and brought her up with him, put his arm around her back while the other under her thighs. Gave circular motion to calm her tensed body. She still didn't give any answer.
"What's wrong, Nami?" Robin approached her, moved closer to Nami's head.
Slowly, Nami lifted her right hand and pointed to their guests. Luffy and the other turned to looked at them too then back to Nami, confused.
Luffy tilted his head, "What's wrong with them?"
"Nami?" Zoro whispered to her ear softly, caressing her back.
"Who are they?" Nami spoke. She peeked from Zoro's shoulder.
The crew sighed then shook their head. Robin giggled. "You make us worried, woman." Zoro complained. He glanced to the guards, asked them to introduce themselves.
"Hadn't Yuna-sama tell you about us?" Shanks spoke, smirked at her.
Nami narrowed her eyes then widened her big eyes. She sighed lightly, "So it's you, I thought I've seen the ghosts. Sorry," she muttered.
They bowed, "It's alright, Nami-sama," they responded her politely.
"Did you just call her 'Nami-sama'?" Sanji asked them, lifted his curly brow.
They smirked and nodded, "Yes, our master was Yuna-sama and everything about her including Nami-sama." Shanks explained.
Mihawk turned his head to Nami, "You should take some rest, Nami-sama. Tomorrow we start our training. Make sure your stamina has back normally. And if you didn't feel good, we can delay it until you feel better."
Nami released her hold from Zoro, stood on her toes. "I'm ready. Anytime,"
"As you wish, Nami-sama," Yuna's guards smiled and bowed again.
Luffy and Chopper jumped to the air before hugged Nami. Robin chuckled while Franky gave a wide grin. Sanji's eyes became heart as he thought about Nami in her bikini on her training. Brook laughed and thought about ask her panties while training. Ussop grinned and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, gave thumbs up and wink. Zoro slapped her butt playfully as he whispered, "That's my strong girl," he smirked widely. Nami smiled to her nakama before hit Zoro's arm playfully.
After breakfast, they moved to deck and were discussing the schedules. Mihawk and Shanks told them to start learned from the main element. Nami's main element was Air. So that first week would start with Air Bending, then Water, Earth and the last was Fire Bending. Luffy asked Nami how long they would arrive at Alabasta.
"It's about 5 weeks more," she replied him after check her maps and pose.
Luffy nodded and command his crew to make sure they would help Nami to finished her training completely in time. Nami thanked them. Then Mihawk and Shanks asked Franky and Ussop to follow them. The four walked up to upper deck. Probably discussing the plans for tomorrow. The other did their own activity. Robin and Nami went into their quarter. Zoro climbed up to crows' nest, doing his routine. Luffy, Chopper and Brook played cards while Sanji went to the kitchen, doing wash duty. A moment later, Nami came out from her room. She sighed and strecthed her arms widely, "It'll be a lo...ong month."
