Nami opened a half of her eyelids, yawned. Got up from bed, she streched her arms widely. Glanced a little to her swordsman beside her. He give his back to her, still in deep sleep. She bent down and peek his cheek, make him groan and turned face her. His arm swang and landed on her thighs. His warm breath brushed against her skin. She smiled before trying remove his strong arm carefully. Zoro pulled her body closer as felt her hands lift his hands until her thighs touched his bare chest.

"Mmm...don't wanna get up yet," he mumbled, still closing his eye.

She sighed, "I have to pee now. Do you want me to do it here? On your face?" she grinned with naughty tone.

Zoro opened his good eye, yawned widely before remove his hand from her. He gave her annoying gaze. Nami giggled at his face and couldn't help to kiss him. He accept her kiss. Wrapped his strong arm around her waist and brought her body on top of him while the other massage her thigh. Nami broke the kiss and give final peek on his nose before got up from bed. She went to toilet in her room. Suddenly, she felt her stomach grumble, make her want to threw the contents. Then her head became dizzy and she couldn't hold it anymore. Threw everything out as much as she could into the sink. Pressed her stomach with her palm while the other tied her hair back. Actually, she had done it every morning but she couldn't remind how long.

Zoro had got up from bed and wear his boxer. He want about to put his pants on but stopped after heard a weird sound from the toilet. 'Was she sick?' He thought. He dropped his pants on bed before walked towards toilet. Grabbed the door handle, it locked. He knocked the door twice. "Oi, Nami. You okay?" his palm and left ear rested against the door, wanna heard it clearly.

Nami stopped her action, shocked. She turned on the water to sink in it and wash her face. "I'm fine," she replied him from inside.

"Are you sure? (Z)

"Yes," (N)

Gladly her stomach had relaxed. She sighed after no more question from him. She brushed her soak face with soft towel before go out. Zoro just shrugged and walked away from the door. Put on his darkgreen pants and blue shirt. He heard Nami walk out from toilet. He turned his head, approaching her. He touched her forehead, make sure she was okay.

Nami smiled, "I'm alright, Zoro." She reasurred. He nodded after releasing her forehead and smiled in return. Maybe she just tired. She had pushed her body in this one month. Not suprised if her body shocked and get sick. He hoped this case would be over soon and back to normal. He kissed her forehead before let her get dressed.

The two came out from women's quarter after Sanji's voice called them and the other. They passed Franky who brought Robin in his large arm. The pair smiled to them and walk into kitchen after them. Luffy had in Kitchen with Chopper and Ussop. Brook came in after them, a cup of tea on his hand. Sanji started fill the table with much foods. The men grabbed the food quickly while the women hold Luffy. Nami tied his rubber mouth and hands while Robin covered his eyes. The two giggled looked at struggling pirate king. They released their hold after make sure the men had fill their plates. Luffy panted heavily, stick out his tongue. The crew laughed hard.

Shanks and Mihawk went inside the kitchen and sat themselves on the bench after greeted the crew. All of them had clean up their own plate except Nami. She just looked at the food with blank face. She even didn't touch it a bit. The crew stared her concernedly especially the cook.

"Nami-san, why you didn't eat your food? You don't like it or what? Should I make something else?" Sanji called her back to reality.

"No thanks, Sanji-kun. I just lost my appetite. A glass of water was enough," she answered him, trying to stay calm eventhough her stomach started to protest again. She felt something force to come out from her throat. She shut her mouth tightly. Her hands moved on its own, one covered her mouth while the other press her stomach.

Zoro touched her shoulder, "Are you feeling sick, woman?" She shook her head.

Luffy's hand reached her food directly. The men except Chopper stopped him, he just laughed in return. The young doctor was watching her intensedly. The men want about smacked Luffy's head but suddenly Nami got up from her seat. She couldn't take it anymore. Ran to the kitchen sink, she pushed her throat hard. Threw up her vomit again.

They saw as she got up and ran to the sink. She was vomiting. Zoro and Chopper rushed to her. He rubbed her back while Chopper massaged her neck. Robin had a glass of water, handed it to Zoro. The other just looked each other. Shanks and Mihawk got up, worried. After done it, she placed a hand on forehead and rested the other on the sink. Zoro brought the glass into her mouth, helped her to drink it. She gulped it and sighed heavily. Zoro brought her to the bench, sat himself beside her while Chopper on her other side, examined her. Luffy took a chance to clean the food before join the other. Yuna's guards stared at Nami concernly. Ussop and Luffy squated infront of her. Robin and Franky watched them from their seat. Sanji cleaned the table with Brook's help.

"How long you've been like this, Nami?" Chopper asked.

"Err..." She thought a moment, "I forgot, maybe it had been...one month."

"WHAT!" Zoro and Chopper shouted.

"Why you didn't tell me, woman?!" Zoro added, still with a bit loud tone.

"Calm down, Muscle-head! She should've the reason," Sanji interrupted from the sink.

"Yeah, Zoro. Probably, she just didn't wanna make us worried. Right, Nami?" Ussop joined. Nami nodded weakly, couldn't make eye contact. Zoro sighed defeatly.

"Or maybe she is just crazy," Luffy said innocently. Sanji and Ussop knocked his head. His words couldn't help at all.

Chopper thought a moment before spoke up, "I should bring her into my room. I'll do some test. Come on, Nami."

Nami just want to got up, but a pair of strong hands brought her up bridal style. She looked up to see Zoro. His face was serious, maybe he still mad. Nami grabbed his shirt to hold on. They walked behind Chopper to infirmary. The crew stared them silently before go out to the deck, do something and waiting. Shanks and Mihawk still stood there, looked each other. They nodded before joined other crew.

~~~~~~~~in the infimary~~~~~~~~

Chopper had dissapeared to his lab after take her blood for the test. Nami sat on the bed, looked at her lap. Didn't have any courage to face him. It was her fault not tell him and make him mad. Zoro looked at her frowned face. He knew she really regret it. He smiled before sat beside her, wrap her body with his arms. Brushed her hair softly before kissed her ear. Nami closed her eyes, brought her arms around him. Her chin rested on his shoulder, smiling. How she loved his softness side. She was glad, he had forgive her. He just want through everything together.

Five minutes later, Chopper came out from his lab. He wore a huge grin. They confused as looked at his happier face. What would have make him like that? They thought. Nami and Zoro loosened their hold, faced the doctor.

"Congratulation, Nami, Zoro! You will become parents!" he jumped excitedly.

The couple's eyes widened straightly then look each other. Suddenly Zoro brought her into tight embrace, swang her body happily. Nami was giggling, told him to put her down. He kissed her chin before placed her on feet. Nami bent down and hugged Chopper, kissed his blue nose. The little reindeer blushed and covered his cheek. Zoro smiled and couldn't help to hold both of them. All at once, their closeness had interupted by a loud familiar voice from the newby pirate king. They looked each other then laughed. They should go out soon.

~~~~~~~~~on deck~~~~~~~~~

Luffy glued his right ear against infimary door. He could heard Chopper asked Nami about something nonsense. Then he heard nothing. He stuck a finger into his nose, waiting. A moment later, he could hear Chopper hooves against the wodden floor. He listened it carefully. His face brightened, formed into wide grin. His ear left the door before ran into his nakama.

"Guys, Nami's PREGNANT!" he shouted loudly so they could hear it.

Ussop jumped to the air. Luffy joined him and danced together. Sanji emerged from kitchen, day dreaming about married with Nami's daughter. Shanks and Mihawk amused from upper deck.

"Yohohohoho! Seems like I should prepare new song for the little pirates!" Brook played soft tunes with his violin.

"Huuuaaaaa! I'm so happy for them!" Franky was crying violently. The crew looked at him, tilted their head. "What are you looking at?! I'm not crying, you jerk! Huuaaa!" his crying became louder.

Ussop and Luffy shook their head, sighed. Robin chuckled as wiped her lover's tears. Suddenly, they heard the door open. Zoro, Nami and Chopper came out from infimary. The three approached the other. Robin got up and embrace Nami tightly. The other congratulated the pair. Shanks and Mihawk jumped down to lawn deck. They also congratulated her. She smiled in return. After Robin released her embrace, Luffy and Ussop crushed her into tight hug. Chopper complained to them because the two would hurt Nami's stomach. They just ignored the little reindeer. Franky didn't stop crying. Sanji twirled around Nami, want to hug her too. Zoro beated him then end up fighting each other. Brook still was playing his violin in background.

~~~~~~~five days later~~~~~~~

Luffy was sitting cross leg on his favorite seat, looking out the ocean. 'Just one day more, and we will meet Vivi,' he thought, grining widely. The ladies sat on their lawn chair, the archeologist read a thick mystery book while the navigator read a newspaper. Franky was whistling as he moved the steering wheel. Chopper was watching Ussop who had make something. Zoro meditated on upper deck with his companion, Brook and Yuna's guards. Sanji came out from kitchen, brought some drink for ladies. Robin and Nami stopped read before accept his offers. They thanked him with sweet smile, made him die in pleasure.

After the cook disappeared to kitchen for preparing dinner, the ladies was chatting about their pregnancy. Robin had in 16 weeks while Nami still in 5 weeks. Shared their experiences, Nami laughed as the darkhaired woman told her that one day she ever had wear one of Franky's speedo and make a SUPER signature. She never thought the most mature, calm and cold woman in the Sunny would do something crazy while pregrant. Herself even didn't feel wanting more for anything yet, she was still herself. But she had proved that sometimes she was fonder than usual. Nami would begged Zoro to hold her while sleeping, carried her body eventhough she didn't feel tired, feed her or else. Robin giggled and told her that was normal.

On upper deck, the two swordsman and Yuna's guards still on meditate position. Mihawk and Shanks could able talk with Yuna eventually on that state. She always would appeared everytime they meditated. All of sudden, their eyes opened with shocking face. They got up and jumped down on Nami's direction. Brook and Zoro heard their movement, opened their eyes and glanced to their companion. The two followed them.

Nami jumped a bit as the guards stormed down beside her. She cursed under her breath before faced them. She swang her feet, sat on the side of chair. Mihawk and Shanks still stood there, looked down at her with sharp eyes. "What's wrong?" Nami asked them as stood up.

"Haven't Yuna-sama told you about Sagara's men?" Shanks spoke up, tensing.

Nami could see their tensing body. She recalled her conversation with Yuna this night. Nami nodded in calm face. "They have been waiting on Alabasta, Right?" she crossed her arm before sat back down. Her gaze dropped onto her lap, sighed. Robin who sat on the chair next to her, widened her eyes after listened to the news Nami had told.

The guards nodded as sat down on the floor, crossed legs. "We should knew it. He wouldn't let you free easily. So what should we do now, Nami-sama? Fight them?" Mihawk asked her, need an order.

Luffy and the other was at their side now. Robin moved to sat beside Nami. The navigator didn't answer, just looked at their captain. "What do you think, Luffy?" she couldn't make a decision. It was Luffy's part.

"Think what?" he still confused about their conversation.

The crew shook their head. 'so he didn't listen well,' they thought. Robin giggled.

"Listen, Luffy. Yuna had told me, Sagara had sent his men to Alabasta. They would on our way. So as a Captain, what is your decision? Should we accept his challenge or not?" Nami controlled her temper before told him once again.

"OF COURSE! WHY NOT!" Luffy accepted it without thinking.

Ussop, Chopper and Brook screamed in fear. Nami sighed before joined the chuckling Robin. Franky, Zoro and Sanji smirked excitedly and thought 'finally, another fight.' They should know the energetic Captain, wouldn't miss the fight ever. Shanks and Mihawk glanced to Luffy, shrugged.

"We should make a plan," Robin suggested. They nodded as approval.

Nami let Yuna's guards to listing about their opponent eventhough she also knew it. They should've explain it better than her, consider they had spent more time with Sagara. Mihawk explained first about the leader, Zwatt. He was Sagara's best man and the strongest after Sagara. They suggested to let Nami took care of him. It could be one way to completed her Avatar's power. Although one of monster three was enough to handle him. Zoro was the one who disagreed with them. He didn't think that Nami wasn't strong enough, but her pregnancy couldn't help. He didn't want something bad happen with her and their unborn baby. Zoro told Luffy not to let Nami did this. The captain just kept silent, his hat was shadowing his eyes. They waited his words.

A moment later, Luffy lifted his head and looked Nami in the eye. "Nami, do you think you could take him down?" he asked her seriously.

"Luffy!" The crew except Robin and Nami yelled at him.

Luffy ignored them, still looked at Nami. He just need her answer. If she said no, he could take her part but if yes, he would allow her. Nami's eyes on Luffy, studied his seriousness. She wouldn't surrender this fast before tried it. Her mind was raged in her head. She swallowed hard and closed her eyes. "Yes, I do." Opened her eyes before answered him clearly. Luffy grinned widely then nodded. Zoro was about to protest but stopped by her confidence look. He gave up, trusted her fully. She could manage it well.

"It settled, right?" Mihawk just made sure. They nodded. He faced Nami, "You must kill him, Nami-sama. Don't doubt it. Actually, Yuna-sama didn't like Zwatt. He was a flatterer and ready to betray us. His goal was taken Sagara's place but Sagara didn't believe it at all. Besides we hadn't any proof yet," He added.

"Wait!" Ussop cut him. They turned their eyes to him, "How to kill vampire? Didn't they immortal?" His brows knitted.

Shanks answered him, "Immortal just a names. It didn't mean for our life. Vampires could killed by cut off their head. Then you should burn in out. Our weakness was fire, honestly."

"So it easy, right?" Franky spoke up, "Me and Longnose-bro will start to prepare some weapon with shooting fire."

"Nice idea, Franky!" Ussops winked. They excused to their workshop after got Luffy's allowance.

The other continued to arrange the plan. The guards told them not to use their haki to attack them. It would make them become stronger. Haki could only use on their own body if they still want to. Monster three would be on front line along with Shanks and Nami. Chopper, Brook and Franky would on Sunny's side while Mihawk, Robin and Ussop used their long-range attacks from the ship. They should clear the way to Zwatt for Nami so that she shouldn't fight his men. But Nami had have her own plan to helped the other. She didn't wanna tell them about it. She would show it at battlefield. Actually, she had managed to control her power even talked with it. She still didn't know how she could done it. Even Yuna couldn't do it. Her Avatar power offered a cooperation and she accepted it. It didn't speak about payback because it was the duty to obey the owner.

~~~~~~~Vivi's palace~~~~~~~~

"So you'll arrive tomorrow, Luffy? Thank God." Vivi jumped happily. Tomorrow they would meet again after separated almost 5 years. She wondered how they look like now especially Luffy. Did he still look childish or mature now? No matter what he looked like, he still Luffy who she had known.

"Perhaps, we will arrive to your palace at midday! We should do a business!" Luffy's voice from the other line called her back.

"It's okay, Luffy. I'll be waiting for you all. I miss you so much!" Vivi couldn't hide her happiness.

"I miss you too, Vivi! We all miss you!" (L)

"See you tomorrow!" Vivi ended up.

"See you too!" (L)

After heard that, Vivi placed the dendenmushi back. She jumped again before came out from her room. She should inform Kaya. She would be happy to hear that.

~~~~~ The next day on Sunny ~~~~~

Sanji had woken up first, preparing their breakfast before battle. Next, Ussop was on Crows nest the whole night glanced around the sea with his binoculars, looking for the shore. They almost arrived at Alabasta. Nami had predict they would dock at morning on 8 o'clock or sooner. Now still 6 o'clock, the sniper could seen land ahead. Certainly, it was Alabasta. Chopper emerged from the hatch door, joined his long-nose nakama. The young doctor was grinding some herbs as antidote. Luffy came out from Men's quarter, sleep-walking to kitchen. The ladies also had walk out from their room. Robin headed to her lover who had on helm. The elder couple shared their morning kiss. Nami approached her mikan grove, her mikans needed to watering. Zoro and Brook were doing their morning meditation on upper deck. Mihawk and Shanks were on front deck, stood there and watching the surounding.

The StrawHat pirates enjoyed their breakfast on lawn deck. They were stealing and shouting to their Hunger Captain. The guards only watched them, smiling. Sometimes, they wished they could back to their old self not vampire form. Eat meats, drink some beers, sleeping even breathing, like human behaviours. But they knew, time would never come back. No need to regreting. Besides they had so much fun since live together with their master. First time they had woken up, instict told them to consume human blood. But Yuna didn't allow them ever. It was because they should hid their true identity from human. The other reason was they could control their thirst easily. According to Yuna, human blood had made vampires' act crazier and sent negative reaction. She always taught them to take another blood besides human, like hot-blood animals. The animals blood would be given less negative reaction. They would admit it that she was right. Their thought stopped as Nami walked to them.

Nami approached the guard, stared their eyes fiercely. The crew just stared them curiously. When she right in front of them, she told them to stood on their knees. They looked each other confusedly, but still did it. Nami folded her fingers before lifted her hands up. She placed each of her thumbs on their foreheads. Pushed their heads so that faced up the skies. The crew inspected them from lawn deck. Mihawk and Shanks could feel a strong energy was flowing inside them, from head to toes. Suddenly, they screamed in pain as felt their body hit by fire. Luffy and the others heard their painful tone. What Nami had done to them? But nobody felt need to interupt her action. Like a statue, they just sat there and didn't do anything.

Nami pulled off her thumbs from them, stood firmly facing them. Mihawk and Shanks had stopped screaming as felt the heat sensation had disappeared. They moved their heads forward like before. Then looked up at Nami, "What have you did, Nami-sama?" Shanks started to speak.

"I shared the Elements bending to both of you. Now you can control Fire and Water," Nami's eyes on Mihawk, "and you can control Earth and Air," then Shanks.

Their eyes grew large, "unbelieveable," they whispered it a bit loud. Nami looked at their shocking face. She told them to try it. Still shocked, they moved their hands randomly and slowly. She was true. They could control the elements Nami had mentioned. Nami left them, back to her nakama. Luffy and crews still frozen, mouth hanged open. She asked them what happen. They just shook their heads and smiled proudly to her. Nami grinned shyly in return.

One hours later, they docked at the shore of Alabasta. Luffy commanded the crew to take their place. Franky and Ussop had handed Chopper, Sanji and Luffy the fire guns. The crew climbed down the ship except Mihawk, Robin and Ussop. They waited there, looked around. There was an empty desert, no sign of them. Luffy and crew kept aware.

All of sudden, the ground was shaking and the sand moved randomly. From the shore, they could hear a hundred footstep were approching. Then there were them. Zwatt and his men. Their hair was same, blackhaired except the Leader who had maroonhaired. They growled loudly. Franky and Chopper held their weapon tightly. Brook and Zoro unsheated their swords. The greenhaired man had wore his darkgreen bandana. Sanji and Luffy clutched their weapon, ready to fire them. Nami told Shanks to move forward before monster three. The two crouched down, thrusted their finger into ground. Hardening the sand.

Zwatt lifted his hands up then a large group of vampires moved forward in lightning speed. But he didn't follow his men, just stood there and folded his arms. Luffy and crews saw the vampires movement. They shot their guns towards. Zwatt's men was burning but didn't stopped their movement. Monster three moved forwards, attacked them one by one. They cut off them by neck then threw the dead body. Franky and Chopper kept shooting the guns. Ussop attacked them with his slingshot. Robin crossed her arm, grew some hands on enemies body and broke their bones. Mihawk kept his eyes for their sudden attack and burned their separated body. Shanks had got up and helped the three cracked their body.

Nami lifted her head, faced the battlefield. Her hands was moving the ground. "MOVE OUT, GUYS!" she shouted to Luffy and the three. They did it, waiting. She had made ground beneath them into a large flat rock. Then clasped her palms, each side of the rock meet like a closing book. The vampires inside it was buried underground. She had finished a half of them by herself, left Zwatt alone. The crews amazed and the guards smirked. Zwatt looked as his men could turned down easily. Now it was his turn. He slid down from hills, approaching Nami. He had known that she would be his opponent.

Nami moved forward fast, answering him. She had told the other not to interupt their battle. They understood, trusted her completely. Twirled her Clima-tact, made some clouds. As Shanks and Mihawk had said, his movement as fast as Sagara. When they met, Nami had reunited her Clima-tact fast and againsted his palms by it. She spouted fire from her mouth, made him back away. He growled before reached her neck with cold hand. Nami dropped her body on the ground to avoid it, rolling to her side. She made her own armor from hardening soil while rolling her body. Got up quickly, she flew him away by hit his stomach with air and earth combination. Zwatt stopped his flying body by rolling backward and responded quickly. He smirked before attacked her back. Luffy and Chopper gave sparkling eyes to Nami. The StrawHat suprised that she could do such thing. They shouted excitedly as Nami hit his stomach.

Zwatt shoved his hand inside his coat while ran fast towards her, pulling out something. Nami couldn't react as he thrusted his thing into her covering stomach. She gasped at the sudden act and falled backwards along with her armor. Her body landed hard on the ground as he pulled out the dagger. Blood was flowing out from her stomach. His smirk grew bigger then faced the StrawHat. The crews froze at the scene. They just want to helped her hopeless body but stopped by Yuna's guards. They nodded their head behind Zwatt, the crew followed coriously. Their eyes widened, then grinned widely. There was Nami on the air. The four elements were around her. Her eyes changed into white-light like she faced Sagara before. She had used her Mirage Tempo to deceived him. Luffy and crew sighed lightly, cheered her up back.

Zwatt turned his body after finishing the navigator, smirking. His smirk disappeared as he looked at his opponent. 'They are smiling? Did I just kill their friend?' he thought curiously. Then he looked Yuna's guards' eyes, turned his head behind. He suprised with mouth and eyes widened. He looked back at the woman on the ground, she has gone. She had been tricking him. Nami smacked Zwatt with her elements repeatedly. Now Zwatt's turn who couldn't react at Nami's act. He let her threw everything on him. Nami moved her arms randomly, took his body by water. Brought his body as high as she wanted before crashed him hard onto ground. Zwatt screamed loudly. Before he couldn't get up, she pinned his arms and legs with soil. Swang her arms again, formed the soil into hand. That soil-hand grabbed his head tightly and tugged his hair. Nami had on her feet now, beside his pinned body.

"You have the last words?" she asked him as streched her arms on her front, twined her fingertips tightly. Moved them above her head.

Zwatt didn't answered. He was just grinding his teeth and closing his eyes. By the silent answer, Nami swang her arms forward. She had formed the four elements into small circle, cut off his neck with them. His eyes forced to open along with his mouth as felt the hit. Then she blew on a fire to his separated body, burned it out. Nami relaxed her body as the fire disappear along with Zwatt. Her eyes had back to normal likewise the elements hadn't cover her anymore. 'I've done it,' she whispered to herself. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, composured her breath. Took a look to her nakama, they were smiling proudly to her. She returned their smiled before fall forward on her stomach.
