Chapter 9

No matter how many times she crunched the numbers, it would take them several months to get back and that wasn't going to work with her. Nami had locked herself up in her room ever since the other night. How was she going to get back home before the suspected time she had conjured up? Unless she was to get through the calm belt, there was no other faster way back. Although, there might be a possibility with the help of someone else.

"Franky!" Nami burst through her door and out onto the deck. Robin was reading like usual while Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy were sitting on the rail, trying to catch fish for the tank. She couldn't see anyone else so she ventured down into the lower level. If her assumptions of her crew were correct, then Sanji would be in the kitchen, Zoro would be up in his "training room", Brook would be…well, she wouldn't know where he would be, but she knew that Franky would be down where his contraptions would be.

Like hitting a bull's-eye, she was right. Nami found him down with the Soldier Dock System. He looked like he was repairing some of the soldiers, especially since the last time he let Luffy ride the mini Merry.

"Franky! There you are!" She felt a bit of relief wash over her as the thought of her plan might work.

"Huh?" He turned around and raised his sunglasses to see who it was that was calling his name. "Nami?"

"Franky, I need to ask you something." She panted heavily after running all the way down the ship. "Is it possible to use the paddles through the calm belt without rest?"

"I don't see why not. Just as long as you have a direct course, it should work. Why?"

"Thank you." She smiled as hard as she could and left without any other word. It was going to take some time to make a direct route, seeing how far they were within the Grand Line, but she would find a way.

She couldn't help but stop when the sun's heat touched her skin. It was a bit unusual for this time of day to be this hot, so she turned her direction up to the skies. There were no clouds in sight and the wind didn't seem to be that strong.

Great, there's a storm coming. I have to hurry. She increased her speed so that she could reach her room. Nojiko, I'm coming.


Robin shuffled through the newspaper and saw the usual articles of wanted posters, but the ones that caught her attention were the ones that belonged to two familiar faces. Underneath their photos, there were small clips that indicated what they were wanted for so she continued on.

Wanted: $250,000,000

Eizoku Aniket a.k.a. Mamushi Anne

At the young age of ten, this girl defied an inhuman possibility. She is wanted for the destruction of ten marine ships, the assault of a Celestial Dragon, escaping slavery, and the crime of becoming a pirate. Even though her age is young, she is dangerous with the Sasu Sasu no Mi ability. Beware of her sting.

Wanted: $210,000,000

Yuki D. Roiyaru a.k.a. Sairento Ansatsu Yuki

A boy at the age of fourteen is the only suspect in several government assassinations. Not much is known of this boy's abilities, but what is determined is his speed. Because of this speed, there has only been one reported sighting of this fugitive. His current position is the first mate of Mamushi Anne. Beware of his blade.

Robin blinked twice when she saw Yuki's middle initial. "D." it wasn't very common, but ever since she joined the crew, she has been seeing that initial and it was starting to become very interesting. She tried to remember the boy's features from the other night, but all she could remember were the red eyes, unusually pale skin, and ebony hair. Though, his outer appearance did seem a bit unusual, what was more unusual was the fact that he seemed much older than fourteen. His demeanor from last night seemed that of an experienced warrior, but at the age of fourteen, he had already been called an assassin. A fugitive of the government was usually called a pirate, but how could that little girl and that young boy be called pirates?

I wouldn't doubt their strength though. There is only two things that are threatening from that girl and they are her Sasu Sasu no Mi powers and the fact that she took out ten marine ships, although, they weren't very specific as to what kind of ships…But what about that boy? He took out several government officials with only one witness. I wouldn't underestimate him either. Robin bit down on her lip as she contemplated on how to deal with those two the next time that they appeared because she knew there was going to be a next time.

"Robin-chwaaaaan!"

She heard Sanji calling and turned to the next page of the newspaper. The smell of cinnamon and vanilla distracted her and made her look up at Sanji. The usual hearts in his eyes were no surprise, but there was a low grunting sound coming from above that was unusual. A warm feeling spread down to her toes at the thought of the other night. She remembered what Zoro had told Nami about their relationship.

He didn't care if they knew. She smiled.

"Ahhhhhh, my beautiful Robin-chwaaaaaan! I'll do anything to make that smile stay on your face!" Sanji shouted and threw his arms high into the air.

"Whoa! Yahoo!" Luffy shouted from the railing, causing both Sanji and Robin to look over at the fishing party.

Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper managed to catch a giant fish. It wasn't the size of a sea king, but it also wasn't smaller than a great white. Luffy was holding it high above his head while both Chopper and Usopp dangled from the mouth of the creature, still holding onto their fishing poles. The huge smile upon their Captain's face was just addicting and Robin couldn't help but giggle at his joy.

"Sanji, let's have him for dinner!" Luffy cheered.

"Alright then, just throw him in the tank for now." Sanji agreed and went back to the kitchen.

Robin flipped back to the wanted posters and stared at the pictures of Aniket and Yuki. There was a difference in their eyes. Yuki's was filled with fear, confidence, and strength while Aniket's was filled with joy, innocence, and fear. The only thing that she could find in common with the two fugitives was fear. And so, this was bothering her. What did they fear?


"KENPAI!" The crew cheered.

"Banquet, banquet, banquet!" Luffy sang as everyone dug into their food. There was no real reason for the crew to have a banquet, but since Luffy was Captain, they had no choice but to go along with it.

Brook picked up his violin and started to play Bink's Sake while Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy put chopsticks up their noses and made faces. Zoro drank while Sanji served both Nami and Robin tea, although Nami was more interested in finding that direct course. Franky was having fun playing his guitar along with Brook's violin. The whole crew were enjoying themselves this night for no reason at all.

"Come on, Nami! Dance!" Luffy pulled Nami by the wrist so that she was in the middle of the partying. Even though she didn't feel like dancing, she was having fun spending time with him.

Robin giggled as she saw her nakama dance and sing along with Brook's playing. Zoro walked over and sat down in Nami's chair. He took a swig from his mug and looked over toward her. She blushed as he stared and she couldn't help think that he was a bit drunk, but from her experience with him, he could never get drunk. She smiled in his direction and he took another swig. It was a bit odd that he had feelings for her, but he never showed them when they were with the others.

"Are you having fun, Zoro-kun?" It was an act to call him "kun" when with the others.

"Why are you calling me that?" He asked as he took another swig.

She blinked twice in confusion. "Huh?"

"You can stop calling me "kun"." He told her and leaned in towards her. He placed his drink on the table and tucked a strand of raven black hair behind her ear. The noise of the others seemed to drown out as the world closed in around them. He placed his hand behind her head and brought her face closer to his.

She could feel her heart race as his face became closer to hers every time she blinked. It was only a matter of time before their nakama found them, so she took advantage of this moment. She let his lips come into contact with hers, letting the hot breath of his take up the space in her mouth. His tongue brushed against her lower lip sending chills up her spine. This moment was blissful to her, but like she could predict the future, there were loud screams coming from behind them.

"Oi, marimo! What are you doing?" Sanji yelled as they broke their kiss.

"What does it look like, ero-kokku?" Zoro asked, mocking the Cook's emotions.

Everyone could feel the heat radiating from Sanji's body as the anger grew from his toes to his head. Usopp's jaw was dropped as was Brook's and Franky's. Chopper didn't know what was going on, so he cocked his head to the side while Luffy tried to dance with Nami, but she was more worried at what Sanji was going to do.

"Sanji-kun, are you alright?" Nami asked, breaking free from Luffy's grasp.

"Don't you dare touch my Robin-chan!" He made his way to the swordsman with steam blowing from his ears.

"Your Robin?" Zoro raised an eyebrow and made his way to one of his katanas, hoping that the threat was enough, but seeing no end to the cook's anger, he had no choice but to unsheathe a katana and make a charge for him.

"Veinte Fleur," ten hands sprouted from the deck to Zoro's body while the other ten sprouted from the floor and wrapped around Sanji's body. She was able to hold them down, despite their immense strength. "Stop," she was breathing heavily from holding down two of the monstrous three; it was actually a miracle that she was able to hold them at all.

Everyone continued to stare at Robin, although, Luffy didn't seem bothered at all. He continued to eat everyone's leftovers, hoping that they wouldn't fight him for them.

The crash of thunder and the flash of lightning startled everyone, especially when the ship gave an unexpected tilt to the right. That caused Robin to lose focus, releasing both Zoro and Sanji from her hold.

Great, I knew this was going to happen and yet I didn't warn them. Nami kicked herself, mentally, and immediately took action. "Everyone to their positions! This is a big one!"

The clouds drew closer and darker as the rain began to hail down from the skies. Large swirling currents began to form in the water causing the ship to rock to and fro. Zoro took the port side while Sanji split to the starboard. Franky took the helm while everyone else ran to support Sanji and Zoro. Nami shouted out commands to steer them in the right current. Cyclones started to form on the water's surface, causing massive winds to hit the side of the ship along with the swirling whirlpools.

They were almost in the clear when the ship was shaken and crashed into and unexpected whirlpool. The swirling current caused the ship to rock around, making it difficult to walk on the deck. The grass grew wet and slippery from the hailing rain and by trying to help hold down the sails, Robin missed her footing and was knocked against the railing. With another jerk from the current, she was thrown overboard and fell into the icy black waters. Forgetting, for a split second, that he was an akuma no mi user, Luffy jumped from the top of the mast and into the water. It wasn't until everyone saw this that they realized someone must've fallen overboard. Zoro looked around a saw that Robin wasn't in sight.

"Shit," he muttered and made his way overboard.

"Luffy!" Nami panicked and ran over to the rail. She couldn't see anyone in the blackness of the sea, so she kicked off her shoes and jumped in.

It was a cold splash and it invaded her nostrils with a sting, but she kept pushing forward. There were two hammers down there and she wasn't sure if anyone else had noticed them falling in. Of course, she knew that Luffy would forget that he was a hammer as well and try to save one of his nakamas. He was usually that kind and that kindness was usually kryptonite for him. It was difficult to see in the water as she pushed down, but when she felt the warmth of someone's skin, she grabbed on and pulled as hard as she could so that they could make back up onto the ship.

"Ah! Luffy," she looked down and saw the death-like boy. Looking up, she saw that the ship had managed to stay close by, so she swam as close as she could even though the currents were strong.

"Nami-san!" Sanji threw down a rope so that she could climb up, but with Luffy heavy in her arms, it was nearly impossible.

"I can't!" She called back up.

"Yo, curly-brow, take the helm." Franky traded places with Sanji and leaned over the rail. "Strong Right," he shot down his right hand and Nami grabbed on with her free hand, securely holding on to the unconscious Luffy.

She coughed up some water as she landed on the deck, but her main priority was Luffy who still hadn't responded to her. Nami laid him down on the grass, now that they were out of the storm, and placed his straw hat beside his body so that it wouldn't get in the way. She knew that Chopper wanted to take a look at him, but she knew that there was no need. As long as she was able to clear his lungs of water, there should be nothing wrong with him. So, she held his nose and took a deep breath. Nami placed her lips on his and blew her air into him. His body blew up like a balloon, him being rubber and all, but yet he didn't respond. So, she tried over and over feeling the eyes of her nakama behind her, especially Sanji. It was already bad enough that Robin was taken away from but now, it looked as though Nami was being stolen as well.

After about two minutes of CPR, Luffy finally coughed up the sea water that was still causing his body to be a hammer. His eyes fluttered open immediately looked from Nami to the rail. He tried to get up from his rested position but the effects of the water still hadn't left his system.

"R-Robin…" he coughed. Everyone looked in the same direction as him and saw Zoro had climbed up the rope that Sanji had thrown earlier. He was drenched from head to toe and he was carrying Robin in his arms as he made his way on deck.

"I got her." Placing her down gently, he placed one hand on her stomach and lightly pushed down. She immediately coughed up water.

Her eyes fluttered open like Luffy's and immediately rested upon Zoro's face. The worry that he had on before had vanished, but being the "temptress" as she was, she noticed how much that he cared for her so the worry that had vanished still lingered to her.

"Zoro…" she gasped.

"Come on guys. We're not out of the clear yet." Nami told them as another tunnel of wind came their way.


The night was finally clear with the stars shining brightly underneath the waning moon. After shutting herself up in her room for the past two days, Nami decided to get some fresh air. Finding a straight course to Kokoyashi Village was difficult and sometimes she couldn't help but feel helpless. The last thing that Ace left for Luffy was a message which was also directed to her in a way, but she couldn't find a way to get there. She felt like a helpless little puppy that wasn't able to take care of herself.

"Ugh, damn!" She pounded her fist on the rail of Thousand Sunny. She hated feeling this way, and there was no way that any of the others were going to see her like this.

"Nami-san, what's wrong?" Gray smoke blew beside her while she turned around to see the curly brow of Sanji.

"Uh, Sanji, I, uh, what are you doing?" She stammered while trying to fight back the tears she almost shed.

He inhaled on his cigarette and puffed out smoke before continuing, "I saw that you were all alone. What's wrong?" He repeated.

"I don't know." Her voice sounded detached, distant from her own body. The tears that wanted to reveal themselves had all dried up.

"What do you mean that you don't know?"

"I don't know."

"Nami-san, ever since that Anne-chan told us something about Kokoyashi Village, you've been a nervous wreck spending all of your time in your room. Now, I think I speak for everyone when I say this, but you are scaring us all." He put out his cigarette and tossed the bud into the water. "You haven't eaten, you haven't screamed at anyone, and there have been many issues with money and you haven't dealt with it. You know I will do anything to make you happy, right?" He asked as her eyes only began to darken with grief.

"Sanji," she sighed, "I just need time to think, that's all." She pulled everything she had so that she could smile for him. But, despite all of her efforts, a tear trickled down and rolled off of her cheek.

He wiped off the tear with his thumb and placed that same hand underneath her chin. She could feel his strength bring her face closer to his.

Oh, hell no. I don't need this. She thought, but it was too late. His lips had made contact with hers and there was no stopping Sanji from what he wanted. So, she let him have this even if it was only causing her more pain. How could she do this to her nakama? How could she do this to Luffy?

She placed the palm of her hands on his chest and tried to push him away. He felt her resist underneath of him, and since he was a gentleman, he brought his lips away-even if he wanted to continue. He stared down into her eyes and saw that they were filled with betrayal and hurt, but what was she betraying? Who was she betraying? Just thinking that she could have someone else from this crew tugged at his heart just like earlier today when everyone found out that Zoro the marimo could love Robin an angel.

"Sanji, I don't need this right now." Nami turned around and headed for her room, hoping the seclusion could fill her time slot with some ideas on how to get a straight path to East Blue.

Her room was dark from being unused for the small time that she hadn't spent in. She collapsed onto her bed, letting the soft linens hold her tired and sore muscles. Even though she hadn't been physically working, she did spend a lot of time thinking and causing her brain agony over two very important subjects. She needed to find a way back home which was a task all its own and she needed to find a way to be left alone. This wasn't the time to be wrapped up in her crew's love triangle.

She wasn't on her bed for a minute when there was a knock at her door. Suspecting that it was Sanji, she didn't respond and hoped that he would go away as long as she ignored him. But, due to her bad luck, it wasn't him. Instead, it was someone who she wouldn't mind spending time with, but out of all the times they could be alone together, he picked now to do it.

"Nami, it's me, Luffy." He knocked again.

Cursing herself under her breath, Nami picked her limp body off of her seductive bed and shuffled over to her door. Unlocking the top latch, she cracked the door so that his face was barely visible in the moonlight behind him.

"Nami," he smiled at her and immediately she felt like hurting herself in some way for what she had done.

"Luffy, I'm tired. What do you want?"

"Well, I didn't thank you for earlier. You saved me, so thank you, Nami." His innocence and youth was visible on his features. She wanted to stretch her arms out and bring him closer to him. He was so close that she could feel his breath bouncing back from her own skin.

"It was a small price to pay for what you've done for me," she told him, "but I don't think that covers my debt."

"Debt? You don't owe me a debt." He told her. "Nami, when you joined my crew that was enough. You don't have to pay me back."

"Yes I do." She pulled him in by his vest and shut the door firmly behind her. Nami locked the door so that no one would barge in, and she made her way to her Captain who was still confused at what she was going to do. "I owe you my life, so let me pay you back." She wasn't sure if this was going to help her mental state, but it was something that she had been dying to do.

Nami walked slowly over to where her Captain stood confused; she brushed her fingers along the buttons of his vest. She could feel hesitation and nervousness in him as she brought her arms around his neck. He placed his hands at her waist instinctively and before he knew it, he was placing his lips to his. Despite this surprise in her plan, she didn't seem turned down, so she continued on. She ran her fingers threw his ebony hair and glued them in place while he somehow knew what to do.

He switched roles with her and started to caress her neck with his soft lips. Traveling from the top of her neck down to her base, he took in her very smell. He knew that she already smelled like mikans but there was something hidden beneath that strong scent. It was the subtle scent of ink that really drew his senses wild. Her dream was on her very smell from her hours of working. It made him want to explore her even more, to find out what she was really made of and to see what made her tick. From kissing her collar to the base of her jaw, he knew that this made her giggle with bliss and that this was a good thing that made her feel good, happy even.

She pushed him onto her bed so that maybe he could get more of an idea at what was really desired from her. He looked up and saw her smile down on him. It was a smile of a goddess and he couldn't help but blush at her presence. He took her hand and started to kiss up from her fingers to her wrist and held her like that. The soft hum of her pulse was relaxing to hear. There was no sign of fear or nervousness, but there was a hum that told him of longing; it was the same longing that was echoing in his heart.

She leaned down and pushed her lips back to his so that she wouldn't be left alone, never again would she be left alone. He leapt up from his spot and traded places with her so that she was sitting on the edge and he was the one looking down. Nami took off her t-shirt and unclasped her bra to reveal her supple breasts to him, only causing more confusion with Luffy. She saw his hesitation and took his hands, placing them firmly on the twins. His blush reddened as he felt her breasts in his hands. This hesitation only lasted a second as, once again, his instincts took over. He pushed her lightly to the bed so that her back was softened by the linens and he was leaning over her exposed torso. Taking his hands off of her breasts, he entwined them with her hands and pinned them behind her head. He leaned in and started to kiss around the little pink buds. The moisture that he was producing sent chills down her spine and caused her nipples to harden at his very touch. She let a little moan escape her mouth, which almost caused him to stop, but somewhere in his mind he knew that moan was a moan of pleasure and not of fear of what he was doing, of which he had no clue.

He thought of what would happen if he took a little bite at the bud and again something told him that it was okay if he did. So, he lightly nibbled at the bud and heard her scream, but again, it wasn't a scream of fear that he detested but it was a scream of pleasure, of wanting more. Luffy soon discovered another thing that she liked. She liked to be massaged, so when he was done with the one, he continued onto the other making sure that it got the same treatment.

"Luffy…" she moaned his name, making him get excited at what he was capable of doing.

He kissed down her stomach to her naval and then made his way back up. He stopped at her breasts again so that he could kiss them gently and then he went up to the base of her neck. This was where he liked to linger because this was the source where the scents of mikans and ink was most found. He traveled up her neck making her giggle instead of moan and then he rested his himself right above her mouth. She stared at him while he took his time to stare back at her, and she couldn't help but blush at how long he was taking to stare at her. He placed his lips to hers and started to take control once again. This act was something that he knew what to do, but everything else that she was showing him was all a bit new, making him a bit nervous and different from his usual self. While he was reviewing his comfort zone, Nami made her way to his vest and started to unbutton the three buttons.

At first, her fingers were cold to his bare chest, but as they both ventured outside their comfort zones, the touch didn't feel cold. His skin felt inflamed with her touch now and he knew that she felt the same way as he continued to kiss all over her neck and chest. But, there was something else that his body was telling him to do. Something internally was telling him that he wasn't satisfied yet. So, he made his way back down to her stomach and saw that she was still wearing her shorts from earlier. Instinctively, his fingers fumbled on the zipper and buttons of the fabric and pulled the article off of her body. He never knew how attracted her long and slender legs were until the shorts were off and they left them bare for him to see. Luffy placed his hand at her ankle and slowly stroked up her calf, around her knee, and in between her thigh. At his surprise, she closed her legs off and that made his attention go back to her eyes. They pleaded for him to venture more, but there was something else that was telling him to stop and don't continue.

He was lost for words as his hand was still firmly placed on the inside of her thigh. So, in order to stay on her good side and continue his new adventure, he smiled at her and caused her to be distracted. She let her legs go and he brought his hand back up her stomach, causing her to laugh at the touch. This was another distraction that he took advantage of and he curved two of his fingers underneath the panty lining. He easily pulled of the little black fabric and threw them onto the floor of the cabin. The blush on her cheeks reddened as he continued to stare at her. He had seen a naked woman before, but for some reason, seeing Nami naked was a different feeling. It was a warm and good sensation that was taking up every space in his mind, but the real curiosity that was taking up space was what was so different between them. His lips met her naval and immediately he smelled something different from the last time that he was that far down south. It smelled bitter and sweet all at the same time and it was causing his sense of adventure to go on overdrive as this was taking up attention in his mind.

He kissed the inside of her womanhood and tasted a salty fluid. It was like the leftover sauce of boiled meat and that only made him want to continue on, but she kept trying to close her legs from embarrassment. She was going to be stubborn when it came to his adventures, so he pinned her legs down with a little more force then necessary. Moving his tongue in and out of the crevice, he sucked up all of the juices that she continued to produce. It was enticing to the both of them from her moans of pleasure to the taste of the salty fluid; he enjoyed them both. There was a small, stiff, hidden nub near the top and felt exactly like her nipple on her breast. He knew that she didn't mind if he bit on that, so would she mind if he did the same to this nub?

"Ah! Luffy!" She felt the light nibbling of his teeth on her most sensitive spot and couldn't help but shout out his name. Nami could feel him smile as he continued to lick up the juices that she couldn't stop flowing.

When Luffy was done sucking up the sweet and salty fluid, he looked up at her and smiled. Making his way up her body, he kissed every inch of flesh that he came in contact with; making sure that no spot went untouched. Of course, he stopped at her breasts so that he could play with her before continuing up her torso and started to caress her neck with his lips. Tracing her collarbone, he kissed up the right side of her neck and rested at her jaw line. Her eyes connected with his and they both melted together. It was like they could sense each other's pleasure, their joy. By distracting her with his eyes and smile, Luffy slid his hand down the center of her stomach and stopped at the entrance to her womanhood. By this time, she could feel what he was planning and beseeched with her not to, but he was just as stubborn as she was and he wasn't going to let this go that easily. He easily slid one finger in and explored the walls of her inner sanctum. When he heard her moans grow softer, he slid another finger in and released more sound from her mouth. He could see her lower lip quiver and that only drove him to stop it. Luffy placed his lips to hers and distracted her with his mouth, but that still didn't stop the moans of pleasure and ecstasy. Somehow, though, he knew when to stop before she could let anything escape, so he pulled his fingers from the crevice and licked, taking in the saltiness of the fluid.

Through her quick gasps of air, she placed her hands on his bare chest and could see the muscles that had given him strength. To her surprise, she never really knew that a rubber man could have muscles this deeply carved, but there was no arguing at this point. She liked a strong man, but his strength came from within and this is what drove her to this point in their relationship. She stroked the defined muscles and traveled down to his naval. If he got to tease her like this, didn't she have every right to tease him? Catching him off guard, she pushed him to the bed and kissed him. She hadn't noticed that his hat was on the floor until she merged her fingers into his hair and noticed that there was nothing on top. Since she explored the north, she wanted to explore the south. Nami used the same tactics as he did by distracting his attention with her mouth while her hands left his hair and traveled down to his jeans. He could feel her fingers fumble with the zipper and the one button and was about to give her a helping hand when she was finally able pull the jeans from his hips. She tossed them onto the floor with the rest of the clothes and stared as his manhood popped right out from the stress that the jeans had given him.

As embarrassed as he was, Luffy couldn't help but laugh at Nami's reaction when he was stripped of his last article of clothing. "What's wrong, Nami? Shishishishi…"

"Nothing's wrong with me…" She brushed her fingers against the head of his manhood, sending chills of pleasure down his spine and to his toes. Seeing the stressed expression on her Captain's face was exciting and enjoyable to her; it was like she was in control of one of the largest bounties on the sea.

She stroked up and down on the shaft and found that her hands were starting to get hot from the friction, so she decided to do the obvious. Nami leaned down and kissed the head before licking around the edge. She traveled her tongue from the base of his manhood to the top and continued to swirl around the limb. Her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own as she took in the whole shaft and sucked up and down on it. He moaned in pleasure just like she did and she couldn't help but feel a sort of power over him just like he did. Here, in her mouth, she held the weakness of a man who was worth over three hundred million beli. Never in her life, okay maybe not never, had she had this much wealth in her reach.

His member was hardening and she could feel his pulse in her mouth as she continued to please him. All she ever wanted to do was please him from the day that he had saved her from Arlong. Only someone as strong as Luffy deserved to be pleased like this, so she had only one choice to give him. Herself. She never knew why her mother was willing to pay off her debts with her body, but this was a good reason. If it was for someone who truly deserved it, then so be it. He deserved every ounce of her.

She came up to the top of his member and kissed its head before a low moan escaped his mouth and some white liquid erupted from the very spot. Nami knew that he had enjoyed what she gave out, so would it truly hurt her if she tried something that came from him? She placed her lips over the top of the shaft and sucked on the strange white liquid. It tasted salty and sweet at the same time. Did it taste this way to him? After she cleaned him from the top, she could feel the remaining drops around her mouth, so she licked her lips and stared at him. He was looking at her with such pleasure, such bliss, that her mind was made up. How could they go this far and not go farther?

He saw into her deep dark brown eyes and saw that she wanted something more from him, but as always, he had no clue. Somewhere, though, he knew what to do and saw that his hands had moved to her waist and pulled her closer. He pushed her back down onto the sheets and started to kiss her again. She must've been unaware that she had missed some spots around her mouth because when he licked up what she had missed, he nearly gave a bolt of sudden emotion. She wasn't sure if it was good, but he started to smile at her.

"We taste the same." He smiled.

Nami blushed and pulled him, by the neck, closer to him. He tickled her neck once again by nibbling at it and dug deeper. The more he bit at her the more he noticed that little red spots appeared at the places where he liked the most. His senses grew wild as both their bodies heated together. Once again, he could feel some pain coming from farther down and he knew that there was only one thing to do, although he didn't know. Something told him what to do. He sat on his knees and looked down at Nami. She was glowing with the sweat that she, and he, was producing. It gave him an odd feeling, like he was floating on air in the sky filled with stars and she was the brightest one of them. Her knees locked together and once again that frustrated him. He knew that she knew that they both wanted this, but why did she always have to ruin it by second guessing herself?

"Nami, you know I won't hurt you." He purred and at first this sounded sweet enough to let her guard down, but for some reason she felt that if she let him in, he was going to hurt her.

"I know." She mumbled as her breath quickened.

"Then why?"

"I don't know."

"Can we try?" He asked innocently as a flush of red spread on his cheeks. She couldn't help but do the same thing and nod slowly.

Luffy smiled at her before opening up her locked knees. He saw that there was more of that salty fluid leaking out and for a split second he wanted to have another taste, but there was something else that his mind kept telling him. So, instead of going with his gut for once, he decided to use his brain. He moved her body closer to his but so that his manhood was right in front of her womanhood. Luffy eased himself easily within Nami and she immediately let another gasp and moan escape her lips as she felt him inside of her. He felt cramped, though, inside of her and could feel something blocking him so that he couldn't travel and explore further inside. So, he gave a forceful thrust and felt the wall break easily, but as he did that, Nami let out a loud scream that she had to cover with her hands so that the others wouldn't hear.

He stopped immediately, but he didn't take it out. Luffy leaned in and looked down at her as tears started to leak their way out. "Nami!" He hotly exclaimed. "I'll stop if you want me to." He told her.

"No, Luffy…don't stop…" she panted as her tears meshed together with her sweat. "It feels so good…"

He kissed her on her lips and rested his body on top of hers. This was starting to tire him out, but there was an urge to keep going. Even though he hurt her, he still wanted to continue. So, he sat back up and took himself out of her to the point where he brushed against the entrance of her sanctum. He gave another thrust and she gave another moan, but this one, he knew, wasn't of pain but of pleasure and relief. The more momentum that he picked up the more her moans became deep and pleasurable to hear. Thrust after thrust, he could feel something build up inside of him. He didn't know what it was until it was "too late". She felt a splash of something cool enter her and heard her gasp of relief. Nami, too, felt a wash of relief and serenity wash over her as he landed on top of her. Luffy kissed her cheek as they panted together in rhythm.

"Luffy…" she gasped, "I love…you…" She blushed as she revealed her true emotions to her Captain.

"Nami…" he imitated, "what's…love…?"

Of course he didn't know this. She told herself and smiled. He didn't understand why she was smiling but joined in anyway.

"Love is an immense feeling of happiness and affection."

He cocked his head to the side, still in confusion.

She sighed. Of course he wouldn't understand those words. Okay…how should I explain this…? Nami took in another deep breath. "Well, love is something that you feel towards another person. You know how you take great care of your nakama and say how precious they are to you?" she asked, trying to see if he was following. He nodded. "Well, love is like something like that only ten times as much to the point where you'll sacrifice yourself for that person." She smiled at him.

"Nami," he hovered over her body so that his weight was no longer on top of her, "I love you too, but I don't ever want you to sacrifice yourself for me."

She blushed at his words, but he meant them. So, she nodded for his sake. Although, she wasn't willing to tell him that if there was anything that she could do, even if that meant sacrificing herself, for him then she would do it.

"Good," he smiled at her and collapsed once again. He couldn't help but feel tired and safe with her. She was just as bad as the ocean with its tempting ways of awesomeness and no matter how hard he tried to tell his eyelids to stay open, they wouldn't listen to him.

"Luffy, isn't it getting a bit colder in here?" She asked as all of their excessive heat was being lifted from them.

"Aa," he dully agreed.

She helped him underneath the blankets of her bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow, she could hear him start to snore and knew that he'd be out until morning. She curled up close to his body, hoping that she could regain the same fuzzy warm feeling that had occurred not too long ago. When her skin touched his, she could already feel the heat return and so she curled up closer to the point where his arm fell on top of her body and the only thing that was touching her was him and the sheets. This was absolute bliss and she managed to fall asleep that night without a worry or care in the world for the first night in the past two days.


This has to be my longest one yet and the fun still doesn't stop. Trust me if you keep reading and reviewing, I'll give you something to talk about for the next few days. So, stay tune for more. (^-^)
