It was still quiet on the ship and soon they would be on land again, Luffy didnt want to speak, he was still upset. Franky had passed out breakfast for everyone unlike dinner, he hated treating Nami and Chopper as outsiders.

"So whats going to happen now"Usopp said.

Robin nodded, they were still transporting a prisoner. Brook had told her and Nami he would not help Zoro out for the man could do it himself in his sleep, so she knew the demon was waiting, she would be prepared. Chopper didnt want to take Zoro to prison and told him that, Zoro smiled at the young reindeer and told him not to worry.

Franky knew if Chopper was going to help Zoro they would need to hold down Chopper, Nami was still conflicted with her decision.

Soon they hit land and Nami sat on the cart, she held the dial tone in her hands. They had to call Shanks to let him know they were close to the marine base now.

"Ill do it"Usopp said softly.

He took the dial tone, she brought her knee's up to her chest and watched as he talked into the dial tone. Chopper let out a sigh and Zoro asked what was wrong, the little reindeer explained that he didnt like seeing Nami sad and he didnt like how the others were treating them.

"Maybe they are showing their true colours"Zoro whispered.

They had stopped for a break, Usopp told them that a few marines would meet up with them soon. Luffy nodded and was glad to be getting rid of the demon, Chopper shook his head and cuddled Zoro, he didnt want to say goodbye to his father figure. Nami just nodded, the others had noticed she was carrying on with the mission and this made Luffy happy.

"Soon he will be gone"Luffy said grinning.

"No more demon"Usopp replied as the two danced around the fire.

Robin and Franky smile, soon everything would go back to the way it was. Brook looked over to Nami who had her head buried into her knee's, she was very conflicted. He was trying to help her make the decision but it was hard, Nami let out a sigh.

"Please, whatever you do keep my son safe and loved"

The other father had told her to protect his son, follow orders or the heart, she didnt know what to do and she felt tears roll down her cheeks. She stood up and took off into the trees, Usopp called for her and Luffy was about to run after her however Zoro had beat him to it. He was going to chase the demon but Brook stopped him, he growled at the skeleton but Brook glared back which made Luffy return to Usopp's side.

"I cant"she mumbled

She just ran, she needed to get away. She stopped and collapsed to the floor, she let the tears run down her cheeks. Suddenly she felt arms wrap round her, she felt the warmth coming from him and her cry's turned into sobs. Zoro gently rocked her, he cared deeply for her. The night sky was lit up with stars that scattered and soon they heard the soft melody.

"May I have this dance?"Zoro asked.

Nami nodded with a smile and the two soon began dancing, through it, the scenary had changed to a ballroom then to a small garden covered in flowers. Nami watched as his appearance changed to human then to demon and her clothes changed as well. They danced in harmony, the love, the bond was so deep. That nothing could ruin it.

Once the melody stopped, they were still staring into each others eyes and Zoro needed this so he grabbed Nami's head softly which surprised her and placed his lips upon hers, she surprised him by kissing back.

"Nami!"

The shout had broken the kiss and soon the two walked back hand in hand, Luffy felt the blood in him boil. She was on his side again, ignoring the others he charged to Zoro and the two were locked in battle.

"Luffy stop it"Nami shouted.

Franky had pulled back the cart and Robin while Usopp held Chopper back, Nami tried to stop them but she was pulled back by Brook who told her, she would get hurt. Luffy was mad, he hated Zoro so much, he wanted him dead. He didnt care for the mission anymore, he wanted to rid the world of one demon. Zoro was getting sick, the man in front of he needed to go.

Zoro soon became the demon he was and shocked the others except for Nami who had seen him like this before, she wanted to stop this but she couldnt. Tears were rolling down her cheeks and this pained Zoro, the demon had stopped and looked at her.

"Nami"he whispered.

Suddenly he felt pain shot through his body and he fell to the floor, he turned his head slightly and saw the blue and white colours. The stupid marines had come, Usopp was surprised at how quick they had come but he was glad. Chopper was being hugged by Nami, she couldnt let the marines hear the small cry for Zoro.

"About time"Luffy said.

"We are here to help guard him until we reach base"One said.

They were on the move, Zoro was chained up and had different weapons pointed to him, the pain from before was still surging through his body. But his heart broke at the sight on Nami and Chopper, Brook was by them and he was glad his friend was there to help them.

He closed his eyes, this was a time he would not escape.

Nami held the package the Mihawk had given to her, she was comforting Chopper who wanted to be with Zoro. Usopp and Luffy were cheering at the front while Robin and Franky looked happy, this journey had changed them all and she had trouble thinking of going back to home with them.

"A great man took the chance of love with the enemy"

Nami looked around to find out who had said but no one had, she was confused but it clicked in her mind. Nojiko late love Ace had once told her that, his father had fallen and ran away with a prisoner.

Looking down at her hands, she clenched them into fists. Then she grabbed the package and opened it, the dress was beautiful and upon it was a note.

'I hope to see you as one of the family, this is a symbol of our clan'

This touched her and she looked up at Zoro who smiled at her, she saw his mouth move and her eyes widened.

It was time to decide.

All done
