Chapter 12 Mommy Robin and Daddy Zoro

Author's note:

I don't own ONE PIECE…

This chapter is dedicated to Nami and Sanji.

I kinda run out of ideas so I planned on merging the story I did for Sanji in the last several chapters of this fanfiction. I hope you'll like it. I'm sorry for the LuNa fans but I am a fan of SanjixNami pairing so I guess I need to tell you that I planned to make it happy for the latter pairing. I just can't see Luffy being with either the two women in Mugiwara. Because he likes meat more than anything else. Hehe

The leader of Okama Pirates was Emporio Ivankov.. hehe.. I apologize for forgetting his name and his afro was actually purple not red… sorry Oda-sensie.

BUT there still something for LuNa fans out there. There is no sweeter conflict than the clashing of three hearts striving for love. Is it? hehehe. Peace!

By the way, for the one who asked me what my course is… I took a degree in Biology major in Marine Biology. That must be one of the reasons why I love One Piece because the setting is in the Seas and lots of Islands. Got to love coral reefs…

Chater 12

The Strawhats decided to do their dinner at the ship's deck because they have additional guest eating with them. They are currently sailing towards the land where the yonkou, Kaidou was ruling. The two other crews in the alliance went ahead of them after Sanji had woken up. The Okama pirates and Trafalgar Law's crew were sailing along side of them. Their captains on the other hand, were the Strawhats' guest of honor for the evening. It was a usual rowdy feast.

Robin was sitting together with Zoro and Kai. The latter was busy playing with the stuffed robot that Franky made for him. Zoro was scolding the child because he keeps biting the head of the poor stuffed robot. She smiled at the sight and felt beautiful warmth in her heart. She was still smiling when her gaze went from the silent Nami then to Sanji.

As usual, Sanji made a fine feast for all of them. He was scolding Luffy for gulfing down marvelous amounts of food and liquor and protecting the girl's food from the captain's snatching hands like he used to do. But there were no flying heart and back-cracking ballet moves from the cook. It seems like he was Sanji but a different Sanji. Because now, he somewhat develop a charming personality that would surely make girls squeal for delight. Because of his major nosebleed, he forgot about the maid-master relationship he should be having with Nami and now she's just worried of her younger friend.

Nami's POV

"Do you still want more, Nami-san?" Sanji asked me. His handsome face was smiling. He looks so kind and charming. Sparkling, too. I already knew that Sanji has a handsome face but I just didn't pay any attention. But looking at him now without his idiotic love struck face, I find him rather attractive. He now has a charm that can capture women's heart. I think. That made me worried because a flash of jealousy went through me as I imagined him with another woman. I mentally cursed myself and choose to shrug off that negative feeling. I can't be discouraged now. I just need to find out how much had changed in him.

I was zapped back to the present when Sanji put his hands on my forehead. Concern was all over his face. "Are you ok?" I felt the warmth of his hands went towards my cheeks.

"I am fine. It's the liquor." I lied and waited until he will volunteer on giving me a coffee to satiate my pretended feelings. But he just stood there, studied her for a while and stood straight.

"All right," with that he went on serving food. I was dumbfounded. That is definitely a wrong reaction. But that would not last. I promised to myself. I then saw him went to the kitchen. The dinner is about to end so I bid goodnight to my friends and went on ahead to my room to rest.

"Oh, Nami-san," he said smiling. I didn't help myself and went to the kitchen after bathing and dressing up. The other boys of Mugiwara were already drunk. Only Sanji was in the kitchen finishing off the dishes. Come to think of it, she rarely sees him get drunk.

"How are you feeling?" I asked. He looks puzzled then smiled leaning closer to me. Is it just me or he is just shining? It was the second time this night that I've been this close to him.

"Whatever do you mean, Nami? I am perfectly fine." He smiled handsomely. Did somebody told him about his situation?

"Are 'you' really ok, Nami?" He asked, cutting my train of thoughts again as he placed his warm hands upon my forehead. "Your face is red, did you have a fever?"

Nami then turned her face away, "I'm fine. It's the steam. I just have a bath." 'Why am I blushing now? And my heart is pounding too fast.' I saw him smile and tap my head before straightening up.

"So, that explains it," he said. He was now on the sink. Putting his dishes away.

"Explain what?"

He went over me and closed the distance between us. He then took some strands of my hair to his nose. "Your sweet scent, it is all over the place. It's intoxicating" He said in deep sexy husky voice while looking at me. He never looked at me like that before. Maybe he did in the past but this one is different. His eyes were serious and full of sincerity and passion. It sent shivers down my spine. I don't have a time to react as he let my hair go and went to get something in the cupboards.

"Well, then I'll prepare you some milk and cookies before you sleep." He said and already pouring the milk to the pan to heat it. "Do you want me to add some chocolate or vanilla?"

I needed to compose myself. It is confirmed that Sanji's personality towards women was changed but I still want to know as to what extent is the change. And I just know what to do. I took a deep breath, stood up and walk towards him. I know what to do. 'I'm sorry, Sanji. Chopper is in the sick bay right now and was only a few feet away and I guess Chopper had enough blood supply.'

"Sanji," I called to him. I was behind him. He glanced at my way but turned back from cooking.

"Wait in the table, Nami. I am not done yet." He said.

I stood by the sink, "Don't worry I want to watch you cook. I just wondered how you make those delicious dishes and desserts."

He smiled at my remark, "Whatever you want, Nami-san." He didn't even look at my way.

I sighed. 'That was a wrong reaction.' Normally he would do his noodle dance with hearts on his eyes every time I praise him.

After a few minutes, he poured the hot chocolate milk in a mug and placed a cookie in a small bowl. "It is done," he said and put it on the table then faced me. "Sit down, Nami. The chocomilk is getting cold."

I smiled at him but instead of doing what he told me, I wrap my arms around his waist specifically pressing my chest to his back. He froze, "N-Nami-san?" he is stuttering? That is a good sign.

"I don't want to eat it alone, join me." I said with my most seductive voice.

Sanji's POV

I straightened up then gently remove her arms and turn around to face her. I looked intently at Nami. She is just so beautiful and enticing. I am now currently wondering why I am not having any nosebleed at the moment. I have no memory of what happened yesterday and this morning. Chopper just told me that I had yet another major nosebleed because Nami wore a very sexy outfit. I can't even remember the outfit no matter how much I tried to remember. Chopper just told me that Emporio Ivankov of Okama pirates helped me and donated his blood for me. I was a bit worried when the little doctor told me that my 'greed' for women would lessen. I secretly sigh when I remembered how Chopper emphasized the word greed. That had me thinking of how much greedy I must have looked whenever I saw a women. But nobody could blame me for having a principle of protecting and loving women. That is just how I view myself. And I am not planning to erase that principle from my mind. But the situation that is happening to me right now got me worried.

I know within me that I am not my old self anymore. Normally, I would be sauntering around Robin and Nami at dinner but I didn't do that. I just felt that it was unnecessary. When I thought about it, my principle in protecting women is not gone. It is still there. The only difference is that I felt it was unnecessary for me to act like I used to in front of women. That is why I was alarmed that I had totally lost my interest in them. But when Nami went in I was happy that my erratic heartbeat whenever she is around was not gone. Nami is clearly worried for me. I know she didn't like my lovesick foolish self but still she cared for my welfare. She wouldn't be here if she isn't. I smiled at the thought.

"So, that's what you want, then." Gasps escape from her mouth as I sat in the chair pulling her with me and made her sit in my lap. I love the red tint in her cheeks and the feel of her small waists upon hands. I smiled thinking that the remnants of the old Sanji was still there.

"Alright, let's eat." I said cheekily and get one cookie and dip it to the chocomilk drink. "Say, 'ah'." Nami complied and bit the cookie. She looks so cute chewing that cookie. Normally at this level of skinship, I would have a nosebleed. Instead my heart just beats so fast. A normal reaction I got when Nami is near. It just now, I am just enjoying the moment. This moment could have been interrupted if my habit of spilling blood will activate. I am just glad this is not the case anymore.

"That is good, Nami," I tapped her head like a little girl. She pouted and I laughed. She seemed to be mad at me treating her like a kid. I have now a little bit of an idea why she is here. She is trying to bring my old self back. I am glad that Nami was not totally against my old self. I know she'll miss the old me. but I guess she'll have to deal with the new Sanji. 'I'm sorry, Nami-san. I'll be staying like this in probably a long time.'

Nami's POV

He is treating me like a kid. I have to calm down and go with my plan. "You, too Sanji-kun," I shove a big cookie at his mouth and laughed at his funny face.

He smirks, "You are enjoying this, aren't you?"

"Not really," 'You need to go back to your own self, Sanji' I drank the chocomilk and clumsily spilled a little amount near his exposed neck. "Opps, Sorry Sanji."

"It is fine, I'll just wipe them." He was about to get a handkerchief when I halted his hands.

"Wait, I'll dry it off." I volunteered.

"Ok," he said innocently thinking that I have a handkerchief with me.

"I don't have a handkerchief but I guess this will do." I gulped and dove at his neck. I start licking his neck. He was frozen for a second and my ministration was clearly effective. I expect a nosebleed any moment now. But wished it wouldn't happen because I like the feel of his skin against my mouth and tongue. He tasted of chocolate and milk with a little taste of cigarette, salt and sweet candy at the same time. His skin was smooth and smelled oranges and tangerines. Instead of a blood spurt I heard a moan escaped that made me hot all over. His breathing became rugged as his hands roamed at side of my waist further down to my hips and thighs.

I stopped licking and started kissing his neck up to his jawline. His stumbles are tickling me a little bit. "Nami," I heard him moan my name. I stopped kissing him and looked up meeting his eyes. His handsome blue eyes reflect my flustered face. I felt his gaze going down in my lips and I closed my eyes as his face was inching towards mine anticipating for a kiss.

A minute later, nothing happened. I opened my eyes and saw confusion in his eyes. He let go of my face and with the look of sadness and pain, he gently stood up just giving me time to stand up from his lap. 'Wait, didn't he want to kiss me?'

"I'm sorry, Nami" he then took the mug and the cookies away. 'Why is he saying sorry? I am the one who initiated it.' Tens and hundreds of question went through my mind about the reason why he didn't kiss me.

"I know why you are doing this." He stated.

"What?"

"You're doing this because you are guilty of what happen to me earlier but its fine. I am okay now. Chopper told me what happened. You have nothing to apologize for. My perverted nature was at fault. So please Nami, don't do this again."

"But, don't you find me attractive now? Am I excluded to your type of woman now?" I asked. She is about to be hysterical. Her pride was hurt and also her heart.

"Hey, hey. Don't cry." He lovingly caresses my checks and wiped away my tears. "I may be out of character now but there is no way that I'll never find you attractive, Nami. Both you and Robin are important ladies in this ship that I cherished the most. It's just that after my second major bloodshed I realize that I was the one who brought that to myself. And because of Ivankov-san's help I'll be able to pacify my perverted side."

"Are you happy now? You've changed. Is that what you want?"

"I don't know yet. But something good might happen. We just have to wait and see." He smiled and caresses the side of my head. "It is late already and it would be good if both of us retire for the night. Goodnight" With that he guided me through the kitchen's door and opened it for her.

But before I went out, I face him and hugged him. "I'm sorry for how I acted tonight. But I'll definitely miss the old Sanji."

"Me too."

General POV

Nami took the deepest breath she could to alleviate the tightness in her chest. Though she is worried, she needs to be happy for him. She had taken several steps away from the kitchen when she heard Luffy calling her name.

"Nami!" he was running towards her on great speed and halted just in front of her. He was drunk and it is evident in his flushed cheeks.

"What do you want, Luffy?" she asked annoyed. She has no time in dealing with their overly energetic captain. She waited for him to answer but he just stood there and stared at her. She breathed harshly and frustratingly stomped her feet. He look as if he wanted to say something but unwilling to do so. Moreover, she can see sadness and pity in his eyes. That irritated her. She don't want anyone to take pity on her right now. "Luffy—" her words were cut off when suddenly without a word, he hugged her ever so gently. It is not the big bear hug he usually does but a warm gentle hug.

"Luffy, you are hugging me."

"I know. I am not good with words, Nami. But I just want you to know that I don't want to see my navigator sad. Sad people needed someone to hug."

She smiled at what he said. Just when did Mugiwara's captain became a hugger-type? He's just so cute. She hugged him in return and let go. "Thanks, captain."

Luffy beamed at her. "Wow! Franky is right!"

"About what?"

"About cheering girls up. Ah, there was another one I wanna try."

Before Nami could ask. Luffy hold each side of her face and kissed her on the forehead. She was dumbfounded.

"Eh? You didn't like it? Maybe I kissed you in a wrong place." He was about to kiss her again and now aiming for her lips. But out of nowhere a chunk of meat flew hitting Luffy at the side of the head.

"Ow! Huh? Meat!" Luffy squealed and took the meat to eat it.

"Oi, Luffy. Just how much did Franky tell you about comforting women?" Sanji was at Nami's side. The latter was startled at his sudden appearance. He looks so pissed off. But he always look pissed off everytime he was serving the boys food.

"Sanji! Why did you hit me with the meat? This one is delicious though. Thanks"

"Franky and the rest are looking for you. I'll take Nami to her room."

Without hearing a reply from the captain, Sanji took Nami's hands and walked her towards her room. She had no choice but to stare at Sanji's hand grasping her wrist.
