Chapter 8: Day Three
"Run. That's all you can do. But you won't be able to get away. I'll have to put you to sleep for interfering."
Nami ran and ran, until it felt like she was going to suffocate. The air was closing in on her, and she couldn't move. The man was gaining on her, and he came to a stop. He pulls out a needle from his double-breasted vest and slowly walks towards her. Nami screams, but no sound comes out. She calls for help, but no one can hear her. She couldn't move at all. She laid there, mortified, her eyes getting wider by the second as the man crouched down next to her and grabbed her arm, the needle slowly seeping inside her. She screams in pain, but no one can hear her. The man drops her arm, and walks away from her, leaving her all by herself in the dark, vast corner. She wants to move, but she can't, no matter how hard she tries. She can feel her eyes getting heavier and heavier. She wanted to keep them open, in case someone came for her, but she lost, and fell into a deep hole that she wouldn't be able to escape for what seemed like forever.
Nami hears a voice. It's a very angelic voice, and it's talking in a very seducing way. She can't hear out what the person was saying, but she couldn't care less. That voice was the most beautiful thing she had ever heard. It doesn't last long, but she was glad she had some form of entertainment for this desolate place. Nami looks up, but can't see anything from the hole that's she stuck in. She can only pray that someone finds her and that she will be able to escape this world.
'GAAAASP!' Nami sat up quickly in bed and looked around her surroundings. Same silly red bed, same deathly chandelier, same everything. And same Luffy sleeping right next to her. Good thing he didn't touch her. That would've been disastrous. Nami wiped the sweat form her forehead.
"Man, what a nightmare, it almost looked real! I'm sweating all over, it's disgusting! But...why did Erik inject me for no reason? It doesn't make any sense. Well, I don't have time to think, I need to take a bath!" Nami grabbed a change of clothes form her drawer and knocks on the bedroom door. A bodyguard opens the door and let's her out.
"Hmmm, where's Joe ll? He's always the one who opens the door for me!" Said Nami to the strange bodyguard.
"Joe ll has been in an accident as of last night, so he will not be able to attend to you today. Instead, I will be the one to escort the two of you to your destinations. The name is Miss Monday, but dont be fooled because I'm a woman or anything. These muscles can put a stop to anyone!" Miss Monday then proceeds to kissing the muscles on her arms.
"Okay...well, can I go take a bath? I smell terrible..."
"Oh, of course! I'll take you right away! On the way, would you like to hear about my child?"
"YOU HAVE A CHILD?!"
Luffy woke up and scratched his butt. "Hey, I feel better already! Those ladies sure know how to cure a person!" Then he sniffed the air. "Ohhh, breakfast is ready~" Luffy took off his bandages, changed, and easily broke though the door to go to the grand cafeteria.
"Wow, this place makes better food than Sanji!" Burped Zoro, patting his stomach.
"What did you say Seaweed?!"
"EH?!"
"Here we go again..." Said Shanks and Makino at the same time.
"Yohohoho, it's always so lively! May I see your panties?"
"LIKE HELL!" Yelled Nojiko, then slapped him in the face.
Usopp was telling Chopper one of his many fabled tales. Chopper believed every bit of it.
Franky was drawing out a some new inventions. Robin was merrily sipping her precious tea.
Luffy slammed onto the sacred table, knocking everyone away from it.
"Luffy, what the hell is up with you!?" Yelled the whole gang.
"I feel amazing! And I'm SO HUNGRY!"
"KYYYAAAAAAAA!"
"Geez guys, be quiet already! You're disturbing everyone around you!" Everyone turned their heads to the voice, only finding it to belong to Good ol' Nami.
"Whoo, Nami, you are ROCKIN' THAT OUTFIT!" Cheered Makino, clapping her hands together.
"Ugh, like mother like son, huh... AND I KNOW, RIGHT?! I LOOK ESPECIALLY CUTE TODAY! I'M FEELING MYSELF!" She cheered, making various poses to show off her body.
"Oye, Nami, calm down before you run to the nearest pub and get drunker than a cowboy on steroids!" Warned Nojiko, grabbing Nami by the shoulders before she could make another move.
She was wearing a light blue crop top, dark green short shorts with a designer belt, and some combat boots. She had her hair in two low pigtails.
"Hey, what's that on the side of your leg?" asked the ever innocent Chopper.
"Oh, this?" She said, pointing to the weapon latched onto her left thigh with a satchel.
"There are no rules, so you never know when I'm gonna have to go all out!" She winked.
"Ahh, Nami-san is so beautiful even when she's competitive!" Swooned Sanji while dodging a punch from Zoro.
"Well, Luffy, I see that you're feeling better already, and that's a good thing!" Cheered Nami, feeling in high spirits for today. There was nothing that could ruin this day for her.
"HUUUUNGGGRYYYYYYYY!"
"AND DON'T JUST STAND THERE, HURRY UP AND FEED THE POOR GUY!" Commanded Nami, to which everyone at the table followed.
"Is it just me, or is your sister being kinda bossy?" Whispered Franky to Nojiko.
"Nah, she's just fired up. I wonder what happened to make her so excited though?" Said Nojiko, putting her hand to her chin.
After everyone finished eating their fill, they all headed to the contest grounds, led by Miss Monday.
"GO GET EM', LUFFY! YOU CAN DO IT THIS TIME, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!" Cheered Makino in the audience.
"Luffy, don't you dare let Nami-san get hurt by ANYBODY or you'll pay!" Seethed Sanji.
"You can do it!" Cheered the rest of the group.
"Another day, another challenge!" Announced Brook. "Today will be completely different from yesterday, for it will be an exciting event, yohohoho!"
"Ah, today will be great, I can feel it!" Wooed Porche.
"Well, anyways, give it up for Harry Harryman." Said Mihawk, no interest in his voice whatsoever.
"Show some spirit, vampire!" Yelled Harry with flawless shark teeth as he came onstage. "But yes," he said, flawlessly adjusting his tie, "today's challenge is an extremely weird one at that! We did research for this one, and came across a couple of contests that blew away our minds! There were over a hundred couples still competing today, compared to the seventy five that we thought would make it! So we made today difficult and hope that there will only be SIXTY FIVE COUPLES REMAINING! The first one is the Men's Cleaning Duty, where the man of the couple gets closed in a room FILLED with all sorts of junk; a hoarders fantasy! They have FIFTEEN MINUTES to get the room completely tidy and in shape in order to get a red flag! And next, we have the Women's Mud Wrestlers! The women get paired up in groups of two, and they will have to fight each other! Whoever loses is out of the race! If you win, then you get to treat yourself to a red flag! How does that sound?"
"UUUUUOOOOOOOOHHH!" Cheered the couples and the audience.
"Good! Ready, set, GOOOO!" And the couples were off. Luffy and Nami ran as fast as they could to the first obstacle.
Over in the audience, the gang was trembling.
"Oye, what's up with you guys? Is Luffy allergic to dust or something?" Joked Nojiko.
No one laughed.
"No, it's just that..." Began Makino.
"It's just that what?"
"Luffy has never cleaned properly in his life!" Shrieked the boys.
"WHAT?! You're his mother! Why didn't you ever teach him to clean up after himself?!" She yelled.
"I know. I know! But every time I did, he would always run off to play with his childhood friend, Sabo! He would always make a mess in his room, and every time I told him to clean up, he would just shove everything in one of his toy boxes, not caring at all if it's trash!"
"LE GASP! Then that means..." ,Nojiko trembled, "that he can't do anything right!"
"AHHHHH!"
"AAAHHHH!"
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
"Shut up, i'm trying to watch here!" Yelled Zoro an Ace.
Luffy and Nami made it to the first obstacle, sligtly out of breath.
"Huff...you sure can run, huh?" Said Luffy, planting his hands on his knees.
"YEAH! I'M SO ENERGIZED, I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES!"
"Your sister was right, you really need to calm down..." he sweatdropped.
A lovely lady approached them and said, "Hello! Miss, you get to relax for this one! But you, sir, come with me! Miss, you can head to the lounge room where you can see how your man is doing!" Then she practically dragged Luffy to one of the many, many rooms that were all over the contest grounds.
"What the..." Began Nami. "Oh well, let's see if he can clean up; this should be fun!" She headed to the lounge, where she saw Lola.
"Hey, Lola, what's up?" She waved. "Oye, what's wrong? You don't look so good."
Lola was trembling like crazy and it almost looked as if her soul escaped her body.
"Ab-ab-absalom...please do y-your best..."
"LOLA?!"
"Nami! I hope that your boyfriend makes it in time!"
"What's gotten into you?"
"Nami... cleaning is something that anyone can do! But when you're such an idiot and just shove things out of the way, there's no chance for that person! Absalom is such a messy person, but I love him! He would never be capable of putting things in the correct order when it comes to organizing his room! If we don't make it, please remember us!"
"OF COURSE!" Cried Nami. "But, if your boyfriend can't do it, then how the hell can I expect Luffy to do it as well?! WE'RE SO SCREWED!" She yelled onto the camera that showed Luffy's room.
Meanwhile, in the room that Luffy was in, he looked seriously stumped.
"Hmmph! This is the hardest equation I had to deal with!" He said, looking around the awfully messy room. He took a step and slipped on a banana peel.
"What is this, a cartoon?! This doesn't happen in real life!" He slapped his hand to the side. He stood up and brushed his shorts with his hands. The only cleaning supplies were a broom, a mop, and a duster. There was a bucket filled with slightly bubbly water, which he guessed was for the mop. The room was filled to the brim with candy wrappers, dirty clothes, dirty magazines, dirty dishes, you name it. It was a disaster. Luffy sighed and got the broom.
"Well, when Mom cleans the house, I always see her with this thing and she sweeps things the trash around to a certain place. If I sweep all the trash to one spot, then that's a good start!" Luffy began to sweep all the wrappers, clothes, dishes, and everything else to one spot just like he said.
"Luffy, you're such an idiot! You have to pick up all the clothes and dishes first before you can do that! Now the room looks worse!" Yelled Nami, throwing her hands in the air in disbelief.
"At least he knows how to sweep!" Encouraged Lola.
"Sigh..please hurry up and finish in time.."
Luffy was stacking all the books together and shoving them into the shelf. "Now what?" He asked himself. He noticed the trash can in the far right corner of the room and threw all the trash in there. "Phew! I think i'm done! Now I just need to mop and fix that bed! Wait, there's a bed?!"
"LUFFY YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG! LADY, LET ME GO IN THERE SO I CAN BEAT SOME SENSE INTO HIM!" She seethed, trying to break loose from a group of the strongest lovely ladies. The head of the group, who was keeping patrol in the room, shook in fear as she didn't know when she might break free and run off to her boyfriend.
Luffy, on the other hand, thought this was a breeze. He began throwing everything that was on the floor into the trash can, and he managed to fix the bed, a profession that he's best at.
"Five minutes left!" Yelled the lovely lady into his room.
"Crap! I don't have much time left!"
"You don't say?" Said the love lady into his room sarcastically.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, WOMAN!" He yelled, slapping his hand to the side. "What do I do, what do I do?! I haven't even mopped yet!"
"Wow, things aren't looking so good with Blind Date's special couple!" Declared Porche in her annoying cutesy voice. "Mister Luffy isn't cleaning up well, and he only has a few minutes left before he's out of the race! Whatever will he do?"
"Ohh, he's so outta the race." Said Sanji.
"Agreed." Said Franky, crossing his arms.
"Luffy, all that stuff is outta place! How can he finish on time if he can't even fix a be-" Said Nami before she noticed something that has never been witnessed before in the history of cleaning.
"I've. ...never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life!" Screamed Harry, dramatically wiping his eyes from the tears that kept flowing. "Who taught this contestant to majestically fix a bed?! It's incredible! Just look at the swift move of his wrists as he gently places the sheets over the matress!"
Everyone in the audience was overwhelmed by the incredible skills from the man known as Monkey D. Luffy.
"EEHHHH?! He's done already?! How can that be?!" Exclaimed the lovely lady that was waiting outside his door as Luffy walked out of there looking like he was about to drop a mixtape.
"Out of my way, lady! I gotta sexy woman to catch." He said, snatching the red flag from her and shoving her out of the way and making his way towards the Waiting Room, where Nami was watching him. The lady swooned and fell to the ground, clutching her chest.
"Sigh...I wish I had a man who acted like that!"
Luffy ran to the Waiting Room and as soon as Nami was walking out of there, perplexed, he ran into her and grabbed ahold of her waist.
"Oye, Luffy, what's gotten into you all of a sudden?!" She yelled, trying to break loose.
"What, I can't hug my girl?" He said in such a husky tone, it made her flush.
"Oh! Um, well, not now, people are watching!" She winked playfully, playing along. "It's embarrassing!"
"Well, onto the next stage then!" He said and kissed her forehead.
"...Luffy!"
Just behind some bleachers, stood Hancock, her hands turned to fists.
"He sure has a sharp eye... did he just try to make me jealous? Well, he succeeded, that much is true..."
Running over to the next stage, Nami spoke.
"Luffy, what the hell was that?! Sure, we have to pretend that we're dating, but you don't have to rub it in!" Her face was red, but with anger, not embarrassment.
"Sure, but I couldn't help it. I have to admit, you're really beautiful when you get mad." He grinned, which only led to him getting fiercely slapped by Nami.
"Oh, you like me when I'm mad?! You enjoy it when I hit you? Is that some kind of fetish or something? Give me a break!"
"I didn't mean it like that! And that hurt!" He snapped back, rubbing his left cheek in pain.
When they finally made it to the next stage, a lovely lady approached them and grabbed Nami.
"Sir, you go sit in the bleachers, while I take her to the fighting grounds!"
"Finally, some action! I'll be fine, I know how to fight as well, so don't think of me as some weakling!"
Luffy sat down next to a guy with a pigeon on his shoulder, simply because he tought it looked funny.
"Hey, pidgeon guy! I saw you yesterday fighting for one of those chocolates! You were really strong over there!" He said, flashing his infamous grin.
"Thanks little man...and don't call me pigeon guy! My name is Lucci!"
"OK, whatever you say, pigeon dude!"
"AND DON'T JUST SWITCH FROM GUY TO DUDE!"
"Shi shi shi!"
"Now, just find a girl who doesn't have a partner and fight her! Have fun!" Said the lovely lady and ran off.
"That was a stupid way to put it, but OK!" Shrugged Nami and ran to the nearest woman. She walked at first, as if to look like she wasn't going towards her, but then she walked faster and faster, until she was charging for her.
"WHY THE HELL HELL ARE YOU BATHING YOURSELF IN MUD?!" She yelled and comically slipped down.
"Don't you know? Mud helps you get smoother and fresher skin. And it's not like I'm naked either." She stood up and mud dripped down all over her curvy body. Nami had to admit, she looked pretty hot like that. "But now you're here, so I guess it's time to get serious." She walked towards her, and without any kind of warning, she swung her leg high and kicked her as hard as she could. At the last second, Nami whipped out her baton and used it to block the kick, both struggling to hit the other person. Nami pushed her baton upwards, making the girl lose her balance and fall onto the mud.
"Not bad. The name's Kalifa. Pleased to make your nemesis."
"Nami. Glad to beat you. I knew I was going to use this baby sooner or later." She said, swinging her baton and getting into a fighting stance.
"Wow, just look at them go!" Announced Brook with a surprised look. "They sure do know how to defend themselves!
"But it seems that things aren't looking so good for the orange haired girl!"
Nami lay in the mud, unable to get up. Blood was coursing through her face and legs, and had scratches on her arms.
"Not so tough now, huh? Looks like I overestimated you earlier. You're nothing but a sick little weakling!" Laughed Kalifa as she raised up her leg and started on Nami to deal the finishing blow, but got stopped when Nami's hands were stopping her from kicking her in the face.
"Wha-"
With all her strenght, she pushed her leg upwards once more and then twisted it.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Yelled Kalifa from the pain and fell to the ground, mud splashing the both of them. Nami reached for her baton and smirked.
"There's a reason why I was so excited today. I never got the chance to use it because you're so fast, but now that you're down, it's my turn to strike back. Thanks for making this weapon in such a short time, Usopp!"
"Aw, shucks, yer making me blush!" Said Usopp from within the audience.
Nami aimed her baton at Kalifa with her confident face on. Kalifa looked up at her and winced from the pain her ankle was dealing. From inside the baton, out came out small bubble of what seemed electricity. Nami walked out of the small pool of mud and said in a sweet voice, "Lightning Tempo."
"What?" Said Kalifa as her eyes grew wide. Electricity struck her as she screamed from the pain. Nami walked over to the lovely lady and took the red flag she offered her, and walked towards the bleachers like a champ.
"Ready to go, my love?" She smiled. Luffy looked surprised to see all her blood and scratches up close, but then grinned widely at her.
"Yeah, let's go! Sorry that you're girlfriend lost and now you're out of the contest, Lucci!" Luffy jumped off the bleachers and walked away with Nami.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUB IT IN! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, STRAWHAT!"
"Wow, what an exciting match!" Said Harry with that flawless smile of his. "Just like I predicted, only sixty five couples remain! I hope to see you all tomorrow!" Then he drops the mic and walks backwards behind the curtains like a "badass". The audience cheered as they started to clear out. The whole gang runs over to Luffy and Nami and cheer them on.
"Way to go, Nami!"
"Whoo, Luffy my sweet baby, I knew you could do it!"
"NO YOU DIDN'T!"
"Let's celebrate!"
"YEAH!"
After the feast, it was beginning to get dark, and everyone was going to their rooms.
"But dammit, why do I gotta share a room with Swirly Brows?!" Said Zoro as they were all walking to their rooms.
"We drew straws for this, so deal with it!" Said Franky, walking into his room with Brook.
"I don't want to share a room with Seaweed either! I'd give up anything to sleep with my dear Robin and Nojiko!"
And another fight begins.
"Robin...last night, you followed Erik, didn't you? Would you mind telling me what it was that you saw?"
"..."
In Luffy and Nami's room, Nami was reading a book while Luffy was browsing through the thousands of channels on the giant TV.
"Ahh, it felt so good to wash off all of that mud! I don't think I could've lived with myself if we went to eat straight after beating that Kalifa woman!" She closed her book and got her sleeping clothes from the drawer. 'Hmmm, Luffy is busy watching TV, so I think I can change safely without him looking at me. But I'll turn around to, just in case.' Though Nami as she begun taking off her shirt. At that same moment, Luffy turned around to face her just as she unclasped her bra. She turned around to get her sleeping shirt, which have Luffy a full view of her bare chest. Luffy just stared at her with a blank expression, while Nami looked shocked and quickly covered her beasts with her shirt.
"Quit staring at me,you idiot!" She yelled, her face flushing a bit. Luffy got up and walked towards her without saying a word. Nami walked backwards until her back hit the wall and her eyes grew wide. Luffy kept walking towards her, never moving his gaze from her eyes.
"Nami..." he said in such a deep and husky tone, it almost made her melt on the spot. She dropped her shirt and slid down the wall, her hair perfectly preventing her chest from being exposed. Her face was getting hot, and she couldn't stand the tension between them any longer. At that moment, her mind went blank and she wanted nothing more.
"Luffy...!"
Luffy crouched down in front of her, his hot breath hitting her lips. Then he smiled at her.
"Hey, wanna go outside for a walk around the city?"
It felt as if the entire ceiling crumbled and fell on top of her. She had a shocked look on her face, and then it turned into an angry one as Luffy laughed.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Yelled Luffy from the pain he was receiving from Nami's fist.
Nami put on her shirt as Luffy hugged his head for protection.
"What the hell, Nami?! All I did was ask if you wanted to go for a walk!"
"Then why did you walk to me like that as if you were gonna do something else to me?!" She yelled, her face getting hot.
"What did you think I was gonna do?"
"...mmmmm! That doesn't matter anymore! Fine! I'll walk with you, but don't try anything funny!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything that will make you uncomfortable!"
After struggling with Miss Monday, they were able to get out of the hotel and go for a walk alone. They had a pretty fun time, talking about anything and everything. When it got quiet for a while, Luffy decided to say something.
"Hey...was that really your first kiss?"
"...No, it wasn't."
"Oh?"
"Actually, I had a boyfriend about two years ago. We loved each other, and we were happy. But then, somewhere along the way he began to treat me badly, leaving me bruises and never letting me talk to any other man but him. The only reason I went out with him is because he was rich, but in a bad way. I just wanted to earn money for my poor family. He sold drugs and weapons, and I don't know why, but I was stupid enough to actually fall in love with him. But I woke up, and decided it wasn't good to stay with him, so I tried to break up with him, but he held me hostage, and then he...he tried to..." The tears were about to fall as she tried to finish her sentence. "He almost made me sleep with him! He ripped off all my clothes, and he... But I acted quick and stabbed him with the knife he always had in the right pocket of his pants. I was able to get away, and I haven't seen him since." The tears came falling down, and Luffy used his thumb to brush away the tear.
"Nami...I-"
"What about you, Luffy? Have you...have you ever had a girlfriend? "
Luffy took his hand from her face and turns his head to face away from her.
"Is it true then? You had a relationship before, didn't you? I'm guessing things didn't end up so well, huh...?"
"You're not wrong. Nami, I-"
"My, my, oopsies! It seems that I have run into a handsome young man and her GORGEOUS girlfriend!" Said a lovely voice. Nami's eyes went wide as she recognized the voice. That same voice was the same one she heard from her dream! Upon realizing, she turned to Luffy, who was also shocked to see her. The beautiful lady walked towards Luffy as he gulped and glared at her. The lady gets close to touch his face, but he quickly smacks it away, leaving her startled and amused.
"Someone's in a grumpy mood today, hee hee!" She giggled.
Nami looked her straight in the eyes and pointed at her. "You..." She breathed, then looked at Luffy.
"Luffy...who is she?"
