The StrawHat and Yuna's guards were watching how Nami had take Zwatt down that fast. Ussop had climb down from the Sunny, joined the dancing Luffy and Chopper. Zoro and Brook had sheated their swords back. Sanji puffed his smock then smirked widely. Franky picked Robin down from the ship and let her rest on his large shoulder. The guards folded their arms. They all smiled proudly for her successful. They saw, she smiled in return. They all were waiting Nami walked back but it never happen. She just stood there, smiling then a few second later her body collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Robin had crossed her arms and grew some hands to hold Nami's body before touched the grounds.
The guards moved in flash and took her body up. The other crew ran after them. Zoro, who had removed his bandana, crouched down on her side. The guards shifted a bit, gave her body to the greenhaired man and let the young doctor examined her. Chopper checked her pulse with worried face then he smiled as listening Nami's breath.
"She is just sleeping!" he informed his nakama. The crew and the guards sighed lightly then shook their head.
"Nami is STUPID!" Luffy laughed loudly. They followed his laugh, except Mihawk and Shanks who just smiled a bit.
Zoro asked Chopper just to make sure she was okay. The young doctor had examined her closely then told him that she was alright, body and soul. Zoro thanked him and brought her body up. They were ready to Vivi's place. Robin suggested they would wear cassords or wigs to hide from Marines. Luffy agreed. They all back to the ship, and wore their costumes. They started walk to Vivi's Palace after said goodbye for the guards. Mihawk and Shanks decided to watched the ship but they would come if Nami called them.
Gladly, the Marines didn't notice them a bit. They were too busy with their own business. After walking for at least one hour, they arrived at Vivi's. But they would pass throught the palace guards. As they approched the guards, Luffy moved closer to them and told they were Vivi's guests.
"Vivi-sama hadn't tell us that she have any guests today," one of the guards told them.
"Tell her that we are the guests with cross mark on right forearm," said Luffy as showed the guards his right forearm.
The guards looked each other then talked, "Wait here! I will inform her now!"
Luffy nodded, smirking. They are waiting for the guard. A moment later they could hear footsteps from inside moved closer. Then suddenly, the crew's smirk grew bigger. There were Vivi and Kaya ran towards them. Luffy and Sanji opened their arms to accept their embrace. Nami, who had woken up, along with Chopper smacked their head down. Luffy and Sanji's face buried onto ground. The two crushed Vivi and Kaya in tight hugs. The four shared their warm embraces. Kaya released herself then looked at Ussop then ran and threw herself into his opening arms. They smiled at the two lovebirds. Vivi just released herself from Nami and Chopper. Suddenly Luffy streched his arm, took her body into him and gave her crackbone embrace. She shocked at first but then accepted his hug with smiled.
After sharing their embrace each other, Luffy introduced Robin, Franky and Brook to Vivi while Ussop told Kaya about Sanji and Chopper, Then Vivi brought them into the palace to meet the other. She noticed the strange closeness between Mr. Bushido and Nami then The archeologist and The Cyborg. Luffy told her that they were couple. Vivi suprised then smiled. She turned to look at her orangehaired nakama, winked seductively. Nami and Zoro blushed, stucked out their tongue to the desert princess playfully. Vivi chuckled.
Cobra, Igaram along with Kohza had waited the inside, Pell and Chaka behind them. The five greeted their old guests then invited them to dining table, lunch time. Luffy was the first who took a seat and stretched his arms over the table, collecting all foods. The men except Brook ran towards him, fighting for foods. The girls only giggled. Brook passed Vivi and Kaya, asking their panties. Vivi punched his face while Kaya just blushed. The ladies took their own seats except Nami. She walked towards Cobra and Igaram, handed them a piece of paper. The two tilted their head in confusion. She reminded them about the bathroom incident. Cobra and Igaram looked each other then laughed hard. This woman really was money-loving-witch, they thought. The three joined the other to lunch.
After lunch, Vivi escorted the strawhat to their restroom. Straightly Luffy laid himself down onto the bed, snoring loudly. Vivi sat beside him, brushing his blackhair. Zoro and Ussop also had fallen asleep on their own bed. Sanji still in the kitchen. Brook was walking around the palace, asking the women panties. Kaya approached Chopper, who sat beside Nami on the bench, talking anything about medical. Robin asked Vivi about library while her lover was sleeping. Vivi smiled then showed the place to her. After that, Vivi and Nami were chatting. They were sharing their stories and experiences.

Nami opened her eyes as a voice calling her from distance. Rested herself on elbow while the other rubbed her sleepy eyes. She noticed that she didn't at Alabasta anymore but... Cocoyashi? She knew it cause she was in her house. 'Is it dream or not?' she thought hard. She looked at herself and still wearing the same clothes she had wore before. She shrugged, yawned and strecthing her arms widely. She remembered that a woman voice had called out her name repeatly. Was she Nojiko? If it was true, so where was she?
Her house door opened suddenly by someone. She smiled as saw the woman she usually met at dream. Nami got up and Yuna returned her smile before ran towards Nami and threw her arms around Nami's shoulder tightly. For the first time, Yuna could embrace her and it suprised Nami. Before Nami could return her embrace, Yuna released herself but still rested her palms on Nami's shoulders.
"Since when you could touch me?" Nami asked her curiousedly but keep smiling.
Yuna's smile became wide, "since you won your first fight with Zwatt-dear."
Nami rose an eyebrow, still confused. "I don't get it."
Yuna sighed, "Nami-dear, I'm back! To my body!" she shook her shoulders excitedly.
Nami's large eyes grew bigger and mouth hanged open, "But...but...How? I still didn't find your body. So how could you back?" her eyebrows drew together.
Yuna's hands trailed down from her arms and stopped at her palms, entwined their finger. "Actually, Sagara had found my body right on our bed as he arrived at Cocoyashi." She shrugged, "I have no idea how it would end up there but it's okay. And after you had finished Zwatt-dear, unconciously you had thrown my soul back into my body. And..." she paused a moment, staring her eyes deeply. "When I awoke, Sagara had sat by my side. That's all."
All of sudden, Nami circled her arms around Yuna's torso as whispered, "I'm glad." Nami could feel Yuna nodding her head. "But.." she released, eyes on Yuna. "Why you still come to my dream?" Nami tilted her head curiously.
Yuna's eyebrows lifted up, "It's hard to explain but this is the way how we are, Avatar, talking. Our soul is connecting each other even after die," she shrugged. Nami nodded, smiling sweetly.
"Actually..." Yuna put off her arms from Nami's, rested at her sides. Nami gave a questioning look, raising her eyebrows. "I just want to tell you. Me and Sagara, gonna come to your place now. And will be arrive tomorrow night or sooner, perhaps." She grinned.
"My place? You mean Alabasta?" Nami narrowed her eyes questioningly. Yuna nodded excitedly. "In one day?!" Nami's face was showing a disbelief look. Yuna nodded again. "Ridiculous," Nami gave a small laugh mockingly, put her hands at her hips.
Yuna chuckled before tapped Nami's shoulder, "I should go now. See you there!" waving her hands before left Nami.

Nami's eyes opened immediately as Yuna had been walking away. She had back to Alabasta and found herself on bed at their restroom. She remembered had fallen asleep on the bench with Chopper on her lap after dinner. But seem someone had moved her onto bed. Turned her body and laying on her side. She could see the sleeping Chopper, who hugging his blue hat, between her and Zoro. Smiled faintly before sat up, rested her back against the head of bed. Her hand brushed his tiny head before bent down, kissed his furry head. She did the same act to Zoro, made him grunt a bit before rolling his body and laying on his back with arms streched widely.
Nami was looking around, inspecting her nakama. All of them were on their own bed except Luffy and Ussop. They were with Vivi and Kaya, probably discussing about their own wedding. Nami recalled the moment at dinner while Luffy asked her a favor. Vivi, Kaya and Robin had been discussing it. They wanted Nami who would brought the wedding-rings. She accepted it amusedly without hesitation. She smiled at the memory. She got up from the bed quietly, headed to bathroom.
"Where are you going?" A deep husky and sleepy voice stopped her. Nami looked over her shoulder and found Zoro had sat up, brushing his hair back.
"Bathroom. Wanna join?," she put a hand on her hip while the other threw her hair back playfully. Zoro just froze and staring her with dangerous look, then immediately changed into devilish smirk. He got up and approching her. Nami started walking backward slowly then turned around as he just a few step in front of her. She want about to opened the bathroom door but his rough hand grabbed her by her waist, pulling her back. Her covered back rested against his bare chest, his warm breath brushed her ears, make her giggled. His other hand reached the door handle, opened it quietly. He pushed their body inside, closing the door then locked it.

Sanji was cooking at the kitchen and handling the wedding consumtion along with the palace cook. Brook was preparing the wedding music with Nami's help. Zoro, Chopper, Cobra and Kohza sat on the bench, chatting. Luffy, Ussop and Franky dressed in black tuxedo with different inner shirt (Luffy: Red, Ussop: Yellow, Franky: Hawaian pattern). They came out from dressing room, heading to altar. After helping Brook, Nami headed to female room, joining Robin, Vivi and Kaya. They had wore white wedding dress with same pattern and shapes except Robin which a bit lossen for her belly. Their bouquet had different colors according to their favourite color, Vivi's light blue, Kaya's yellow, and Robin's purple. Nami was wearing her own dress. The three had choose the white dress with orange pattern around the waist and collar for her. Their hair had formed to bundle and the hair accessories on them.
"Oh my, Nami. You beat us," Robin smirked teasingly. Nami only flushed, covering her cheeks with her hands.
"Indeed," Kaya joined, smiling sweetly.
"Awesome, Nami-san!" Vivi hugged the blushing Nami.
"Thanks, Ladies! You all are charming and beautiful!" they were holding each other hands, smiling happily.
The waitress came inside, interupting them. She told them that everything had done. The guests also had been waiting. The four nodded, thanking the waitress. She excused herself after bowing her body to them. Nami was opening the door for the three brides. Cobra, Zoro and Chopper had waiting outside. Vivi walked out first, holding her dad arm tightly. Cobra kissed her forehead, encouraging her lovely daughter before walked off. Robin walked out next, holding Chopper's arm. The little reindeer had changed to human form. Robin smiled at the nervous Chopper. The two followed Vivi and her father. The last was Kaya. She stood beside Nami, waiting Zoro come towards her. He held out his arm to Kaya as he right in front of her. Nami reminded him not to lossen his hold from Kaya.
Zoro nodded before whispered, "I hope they won't guess you are the bride," he smirked naughty. Nami's cheeks and nose were redden. She stuck her tongue out then give him catty grin.
The three walked behind the other four. As they arrived on the fate place, Nami moved forward and stood on their front. Behind her was Vivi and Cobra, Kaya and Zoro then Robin and Chopper. They stood on the edge of the red carpet. The three grooms had stood firmly on the other edge. Nami nodded her head to Brook. He nodded back, start playing the music.
one...two...three...four...five steps
~Song: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri ft Steve Kazee~
(Nami)
The day we met
Frozen, I held my breath
Right from the start
Knew that I found a home
For my Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
(Nami just a few step towards the grooms. The priest stood infront of them. She handed their rings to him)
(Nami & Brook)
One step closer...
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
(Nami moved to the side, give space for Cobra and Vivi. The king handed over her princess to Luffy as said "Take good care of my princess," The pirate king nodded before took her hand)
(Brook)
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
(Zoro handed over Kaya to Ussop as he nodded to the longnosed guy. Ussop took it firmly)
(Nami & Brook)
One step closer...
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
(Chopper and Robin who had stood in front of Franky. His metal body covered the altar behind him. Chopper handed over Robin to the Cyborg, nervoussly. Robin and Franky gave him encouraging smile)
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
(Cobra, Zoro and Chopper sat on their seat. The three couple had stood in front of priest. Franky and Robin were on the left side. Luffy and Vivi after them then Ussop and Kaya)
(Nami)
One step closer...
One step closer...
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
(Nami was walking towards their back, tapped them softly one by one from left to right before stopped and stood beside the piano Brook had played)
(Nami & Brook)
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Brook got up as finishing the song. He and Nami bowed their head to the guests.
"I do,"
"Then I pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss your OWN bride," the priest gave a bit joke in his words. The three just married couple kissed, everyone clasped their hands and congratulated them.
The newly weds and their guests were dancing together along with Brook's music. Sanji was putting out the large size meals, 2 medium cakes, and 1 large cake (for Luffy). After that he had disappear into the crowd, twirling around the women. Luffy, Chopper and Ussop were competing for food and cakes. Vivi and Kaya chuckled at the scene. Franky enjoyed dancing with his Robin. Mihawk and Shanks had left the ship at morning, joining the party. The two approached Vivi and Kaya, asking for dance. The two females nodded before took their hands. Vivi was dancing with Shanks while Mihawk with Kaya.
Nami looked at the two guards, smiling. She glanced to her side, "Don't you wanna dance?" she asked Zoro.
"I don't dance," he took a big sip of his beer. "I prefer drink all liquors the love-cook had served." He said as pouring the empty glass.
"Oh yeah, I should knew it." she rolled her eyes, "Can I have it?" Zoro looked at her with questioning look, "Just one glass! Please~~, " she begged with her large eyes.
"You know, Chopper will kill me if I let you drink it." He said softly, tapped her forehead playfully with his index finger. "Go get another healthy drink, woman."
"But I want it!" she wailed like a child.
"No, you don't," he ignored the whinning navigator as drinking. Nami pouted before glanced at the bottles. She took one slowly, eyeing Zoro. He knew that but let her did it. As she moved the bottle to her lips, Zoro grabbed it fast but Nami didn't released her grip from the bottle, pulled it back. Then they end up tugging of the bottle war. The guests looked at the scene, sweatdrops. Luffy and Ussop stopped their eating, eyeing the two then laughed loudly. Chopper ran to the two, joining the battle. Franky smirked while Robin giggled. Vivi and Kaya still enjoyed dancing with their partner, ignoring the fighting couple.

"Vivi-sama, there are a man and a woman looking for the woman called Nami." The guard informed her. They just finished the party and resting in restroom.
"Nami-san?" Vivi questioned, then glanced to her side. "Do you have any guests, Nami-san?" she asked.
Nami tapped her chin then it clicked, "How they look like?" she asked the guard.
"Ng...their clothes in blacks and also their hair. Their skin is pale," the guard told her.
'probably,' she thought. She nodded her head to Mihawk and Shanks who nodded in agreement. "They would come with you just to make sure," she told the guard, pointing her finger to the two. The guard bowed before left, Mihawk and Shanks were following him. Nami had told Yuna's guards about her dream this morning. As the three left the room, the people in the room gave Nami questioning look. They wondered who the guests were.
A moment later, the door opened by Shanks. He went inside first then Mihawk. They stood on each side of door, let the guests in. The crew except Nami made large eyes along with mouth opened as the guests showed. There were Yuna and Sagara, bowing their heads. Luffy and the other looked at them then Nami and back to them again. Nami smiled before stood up, walking towards Yuna. They shared a tight embrace.
"She's real!" They shrieked suprisingly except Vivi and Kaya who confused, Robin who just chuckled. Nami and Yuna released their arms, glanced to the shocking crew then looked each other, grinned. Nami was explaining the state after Yuna and Sagara took their seat. The crew nodded then greeted Yuna but still felt a bit strange to Sagara. Yuna noticed it, elbowing him. He looked at Yuna first then Luffy and the crew. He was apologizing and regreting everything had happen. They accepted his words with wide smile. Sagara thanked them.

Zoro was walking back to their room after breakfast. The other crew and their guests had went out around the palace, minded their own business. Crossed the room, searching for his swords. He was ready to start his routine. He was on his bed, crouched down but couldn't find them. 'Where's my swords? I remembered put them beside the bed,' he mumbled under his breath. Lifted the blanket, pillow, and mattress, still no sign. He start to frustated and searching around the room.
'are you looking for your precious swords, Mr. Swordsman?'
A man voice interupted him. He stopped a moment, examining where it came from. He glanced around the room, nobody except himself. Looked over the window, there were his nakama along with the guards, Yuna and Sagara. They enjoyed themselves even didn't notice his stare. It meant not theirs or maybe they knew where were them.
"OI!" his voice took their attention. "Have you seen my swords?" he shouted. They shook their head before continue except Nami.
"Did you place them beside the bed?" she answered him, approching him. Their room was on the first floor and connected directly to garden.
"I did, but they are missing," he glanced to the bed, pointing it. Nami followed his finger. She went inside by climbing the window, he helped her in. They started wondering the room.
'over here, Greenman!'
Zoro stopped again, "Do you heard that?" he asked Nami while his eye looked around.
"Hear what?" she replied without turned her sight.
He looked at Nami, raising an eyebrow confusedly. So she couldn't hear it or maybe it was his imagination. He shrugged and back to their research.
"I can't find them!" Nami put her hand on hips, pouting and wiped her sweaty forehead.
"So do I," Zoro let out a sigh.
'behind the bench, Dummy Marimo!'
Zoro's eye twitched in annoyance as hear that damn named. He followed the voice, looking behind the bench. His eye grew bigger, froze in place. There wasn't his three swords but just one BIG sword. He took it, inspecting. Nami saw as he froze while looked behind the bench and more suprise as he took the thing. It was a BIG sword.
"The Light Saver," Sagara, who had stood over the window, spoke up.
Zoro glanced at him the back to the sword, smirking. "Finally."
Nami stood beside him, looking it closely and touched it. Yuna and her guards had in the room, joining Sagara and the two.
"Roronoa-dear, please follow Sagara-dear and Shanks-dear. It's your time." Yuna told him. Zoro nodded, walking towards the two. They climbed down the window, passing the strawhat. They stopped at the corner place, sitting cross legs and faced each other.
"Take a talk with the sword," Sagara spoke up.
"How?" (Z)
"Meditating," (SH)
Nami saw as the three walking away through the window. She turned to Yuna, "What will they do?" she asked her.
"Discovering the sword and..." Yuna paused. Nami tilted her head, raising eyebrows.
"Take you apart from the Eliminator." Mihawk continued Yuna's words.
