Title: My Treasure

Characters/Pairing(s): Luffy&Nami, Strawhats

(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Post Time Skip

As the storm got heavier, the entire Strawhat crew ran around the ship helping each other out with handling the ship. Nami, who was usually the one to order everyone around, was doing her best to steer the ship. Robin, who usually stayed in the library, was helping Usopp and Sanji with the sails.

Nami hadn't sensed the storm coming in time, resulting to the crew being stuck in the middle of it. Franky suggested a coup de burst, but who knows how far the storm stretched. Using it might result to a big waste of fuel. Using the paddles would just be difficult to navigate through it. Right now, the best they can do is fight it off until the skies clear up.

Nami screamed as a large wind hit the Sunny to the side, knocking her off her feet. The ship tilted to the side, making Nami slide down and hit the railing. She grabbed hold of it before she fell off.

"Nami!"

Hearing her scream made Luffy distracted on what he was doing. He stretched himself towards the side of the helm and grabbed her hand just when she was about to fall off. Even though she was saved, she couldn't rest easy. Another strong wind hit the ship. The wind also hit Luffy, knocking his strawhat off his head and was sent flying towards the sea.

"Boshi!"

Nami looked up and met Luffy's desperate eyes. He was caught in a tough situation. Luffy had one hand wrapped around the railing so he wouldn't fall off too. His other hand held Nami on the edge. Letting go of one of them could result to Nami falling over, or both of them falling overboard. Nami did what she thought was best. She let go of Luffy's grip and reached for the strawhat.

"Nami!"

Luffy watched desperately as Nami caught his strawhat and got lost in the sea.

"NAMI!"

Luffy was about to go in after her if it weren't for Zoro restraining him.

"Let me go, Zoro!"

"Baka! You'll die if you go in!"

"We can't just leave her!"

"We'll come back as soon as the storm clears up!"

"Shit! NAMI!"

-x-x-

Nami's eyes fluttered open once she regained her strength. She could feel a blanket on top of her body and something cold on her forehead. With half lidded eyes, she looked around at her surroundings and found she was in the infirmary of the Sunny. After what she remembered had happened, she wondered how she got back on the Sunny.

"We found you washed up on an island."

Nami was startled by the sudden voice. She looked towards the desk and found Luffy sitting on the chair with his legs crossed. His hair covered his eyes and he looked serious and mad.

"You were missing for days, until we found pieces of your clima tact near an island. We found you on the beach, unconscious."

"...Is your strawhat okay?"

Luffy finally looked up and nodded towards the bedside table. Nami found it unharmed and in one piece. She turned back to Luffy and could see the hurt and sadness in his eyes.

"Why'd you do it?"

"Because you would've gotten mad if we lost it."

"I'd rather have it lost than have you dying!" Luffy walked towards the side of her bed. "Your lungs were filled with water and if we hadn't arrived in time, you would've died. What were you thinking?"

"Your treasure..."

"You're my treasure, Nami!"

"But-"

"Both of you are my treasures, but I wouldn't be able to live if I lost you."

Nami was startled by his statement. Luffy buried his face onto the blanket. She could've sworn she saw a tear escape his eye. Her expression softened when she heard a muffled 'thank you' from her beloved. She softly ruffled his hair and closed her eyes. How happy the navigator was to be alive.
