A/N: I think this is my longest chapter so far :P I had a lot of fun writing this, though a lot of small things popped up to prolong it from being finished earlier today :P

Because it IS such a long chapter, I'll write the next chapter for "Down Under" tomorrow... So much for every other day ;) But it will be from now on, for Down Under. And I have created a list of one-shots to write, so there are a lot of one-shots coming in the future as well.

First half is Luffy's point of view, second half is Nami :P

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

Of Nami

"What are you guys doing?" I found Usopp and Chopper down in the workshop.

"Upgrading Nami's clima-tact as a birthday present to her," Usopp said.

"I'm just watching," Chopper said. "I bought Nami a book at the last town we docked in."

"Eh?" I picked up one of the bowls of paint Usopp had made. They were in all sorts of colours, but mostly blues as he tried to create a blue similar to the colour of the clima-tact. "You're using all these?"

"No," Chopper shook his head. "Usopp was just trying to see if he could create a nicer blue for Nami."

"Oh," I said, continuing to look at them. I stuck my finger in one, then brought it to my lips, but Usopp smacked my hand away.

"That's made with chemicals, ba-ka!" Usopp made a face. "So that the paint doesn't come off the clima-tact!"

"Shishishi, oh," I laughed. I wiped my finger off on my shorts. "Can I use the paint if you're not going to?"

"Well, it is a waste otherwise –just don't eat it," Usopp warned.

"Mm," I nodded, picking up all the bowls and balancing them on top of each other.

"And don't spill them on deck! Franky will shoot me!"

"Shishishi, alright!"

I took the paints and climbed up, heading for the men's quarters. I put them down on the table there.

"Oh! Luffy!" Brooke came in.

"Hi!"

"What are you doing for Nami for her birthday?" he asked.

"Eh? I don't know yet," I mumbled, looking down at my feet. My stomach rumbled, but I ignored it –Robin could only distract Nami so long on the island.

"Why don't you learn to play a song for her?" Brooke said. "I can teach you, at the very least, Happy Birthday."

"Mmmmm," I tilted my head, considering it. "Okay!"

"Here," Brooke began to hand me his violin. "Careful, alright?"

"Mm," I nodded, taking it in my hands.

He showed me how to hold it, "And then you draw the bow –"

"The bow?"

"The stick-like thing in your hands, Luffy," he explained.

"Oh."

"Pull it across the strings –gently!"

A screeching sound filled the room.

"Yohoho! It's a good thing I don't have ears to hear with," Brooke laughed. "Skull joke! Yohoho! But don't worry, Luffy –not everyone gets it on the first try. Try again. Firm grip on both –but be gentle."

Gentle… but firm!

Another screech –and then a string broke.

"Eh? I'm sorry Brooke," I said, handing him back the violin.

"It's alright, Luffy, it was just the string."

"I think I should do something else for Nami," I told him. "Where's Franky?"

"Working with Sanji," Brooke said.

Franky… working with Sanji? That I had to see, "Shishishi, thanks, Brooke!"

I rushed out of the men's quarters and up to the kitchen.

"No! You'll ruin my frosting job!" Sanji shouted as I entered the room.

"I know what I'm doing!" Franky argued.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, bouncing over to the kitchen.

"I thought you'd be coming around," Sanji sighed, reaching behind him to grab a plate of meat. "Go on. Go eat –get out of here."

"I just want to know what you're doing," I said, taking the plate anyway. I readily ate the meat as I watched. "It's a cake."

"And this banner is supposed to come out the top," Franky said, pulling it wide so that I could read Happy Birthday Nami in fine and curling letters.

"That's going to be sooooo cool," I told him.

"Mm," they both agreed.

"Nami-swa~an will love my cake," Sanji said. "I've incorporated her mikans and some delicious chocolate into the batter and frosting."

"Can I try it?" I asked.

"No."

It did look good though. I think Nami would like it.

"Robin and Zoro are working in the library, setting up for everything," Franky said.

"I thought she was distracting Nami in town?"

"That's her produced double," Sanji said. He got that lovey-dovey look on his face, "And what a double it is."

"Oi! If you're not going to help me, get out of here," Franky said.

"I've done everything up to this point!" Sanji said. "I made the cake!"

"Thanks for the food," I called rushing out the door. I hoped they sorted out everything before Nami came back.

I shot up to the library, bursting through the door.

"Oh, Luffy," Robin greeted me, her arms crossed in front of her and directing her extra limbs to decorate the higher corners of the room. Zoro was lying on the bench.

"Whoa! It looks so cool!" I said, looking around the room.

"I'm glad you like it," Robin said.

"What'd you do for Nami for her birthday?" I asked.

"You know that shopping trip I took Nami on today?"

"Mm."

"I'm paying for everything," Robin said. She shook her head, "She knows how to use people's generosity to her advantage."

"Shishishi," I laughed, "And what about Zoro?"

"I'm paying off my debt," Zoro said, not opening his eye and pointing to the corner of the room where beside a pile of gifts there was a bag of gold.

"Eh? How'd you get that much?"

"I did some bandit hunting," Zoro sat up. "What are you getting for the witch?"

"Be nice," Robin told him.

I only shrugged.

"You're not going to get her anything?" Zoro asked. "After she went through all the trouble on your birthday to make sure you had fun?"

"That's it though," I murmured, pursing my lips as I sat in the center of the room. "I don't know what I can do to make her just as happy."

"Luffy," Robin came and knelt in front of me. "Remember –it's the thought that counts, alright?"

"The thought," I murmured, thinking hard. "The thought…"

"Whatever you give Nami will make her happy, because it's you giving it to her," she explained.

"So a mysterious gift…" I mumbled.

"But you better hurry up and come up with something –Nami'll be coming back soon," she went over to Zoro, holding a balloon to his lips. He blew it up quickly, and Robin rewarded him with a kiss.

"Where does Nami keep the extra paper?" I asked suddenly, getting to my feet.

"Map paper?"

"No, regular paper," I said.

"Bottom drawer on the right," she said, nodding towards the desk.

"Thanks!" I rushed over, grabbing a thick pile of paper from the drawer she directed me to. There was also some ribbon, and I took that too.

"What are you going to do?" Zoro asked.

"Shishishi! You'll see!" I said, rushing down to the men's quarters.

I set out the papers and looked at the paint.

Nami was going to love it.

Robin and I arrived back on the ship. No one was in sight on the lawn deck, and we went up to the girl's quarters to put the bags down. She disappeared into thin air after she set them down.

I had suspected that it wasn't actually her the entire time, but I played along –after all, she was paying.

Humming, I exited my room. Kitchen was my first assumption. It was cloudy out, so an indoor party would probably be better. But no one was in the kitchen. So I climbed up to the deck above, heading for the library.

"Happy birthday!" They shouted when I came inside. There were balloons and streamers everywhere.

"Thank you," I smiled at them. I looked at all their faces, "Where's Luffy?"

"Still working on your present," Robin said, leading me over to my desk. "Let us give you all our presents first."

"Thank you," I said again, taking a seat in my chair.

"Here, Nami," Usopp proudly presented his gift. "I spent weeks working on it!"

"Liar," Chopper said. "It only took all morning."

I laughed, opening it to reveal my clima-tact, upgraded and freshly painted, "It's great. I like this blue better than the previous shade. Thank you."

Chopper pushed a rectangular gift my way, and within its clumsy wrapping job I found a book.

"Awe, thank you," I said, placing a kiss on Chopper's forehead.

"Oi! Where's my kiss?" Usopp asked.

"Don't ask Nami-swa~an to kiss a baboon like you!" Sanji shouted at him.

Zoro placed a large amount of gold in front of me.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"My debt," Zoro murmured.

I looked at it closely, examining the quality, and then lifting it up to judge its weight accordingly.

"You're under by a hundred thousand," I told him, setting it off to the side. "But –"

"God damn it, woman!" Zoro looked exasperated.

"But because you paid off so much of it at once," I continued, ignoring his outburst. "I won't add interest until the time comes when you owe me more."

"Thanks," Zoro rolled his eyes. He walked over to the bench, muttering, "I'd be happier if you just annexed the entire thing."

"Ah –" Zoro's head swung around and I smiled, "Just kidding."

"Here," Robin said, handing me a small box.

"You just took me shopping," I said, taking the gift anyway. She only laughed as I gave her a hug, "Earrings! They're so pretty. Thank you, Robin."

"Here, Nami-swa~an," Sanji presented me with a fancy box. Inside was a diamond necklace.

"How sweet," I told him, holding his chin while I kissed his cheek. Blood gushed from his nose and I let him fall to the floor. "Who's next?"

"Me," Franky said, setting a few boxes on my desk in front of me. I gave him a funny look before opening one of them. A charm bracelet… more earrings… and a stick. "They're all weapons. The earrings and bracelet charms are all bombs –don't worry though, they only go off if you open the cylinder and press the button. You can determine which bomb to go off by twisting the bottom of the cylinder, the dial, to right, left, and then the specific charm shape."

"So the star would be the star charm, etcetera, right?" I asked, looking at the bottom

"Yes," he said. "Just make sure you set it properly."

"I will, thank you, Franky," I also gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"What?" Usopp said. "This is unfair."

"So this is what all those explosions have been about the past couple of days," Robin murmured, ignoring Usopp.

"Mm," Franky said. "I was trying to think of a way to make sure she could wear them without worrying about blowing off a limb, or her head."

"Well, thanks for your consideration," I told him.

"I'm sure you'll put them to good use."

"And, Nami-san," Brooke said, bringing out his violin, "I wrote you a song."

"That's sweet of you," I smiled, giving him a small kiss on the cheek quickly, before leaning on my desk as he began to play. I closed my eyes as I listened, unable to keep myself from wondering where Luffy was. The music ended, and the door was thrown open.

"Sorry!" Luffy apologized, rushing over to me. "I was waiting for the paint to dry!"

"Paint?" I asked, half-standing.

"Mm," Luffy set down something in front of me. It was a bunch of papers held together by ribbon. I looked at it a moment and Luffy went on to tell me what it was, though it was obvious. "It's a book."

"A book," I smiled.

"Mm –I wrote it."

I opened the first page, smiling widely when I saw his childish doodles and his messy writing. "I love it."

"Eh? Really?" he looked relieved.

"Mm," I looked up at him. "Thank you."

"Cake time!" Franky said.

As they walked over to the cake on the quick table that Franky had whipped together, Luffy told me about the story he had created.

"See –we're pirates in the story. And I become the Pirate King! And there –there you've finished mapping the world."

"It's wonderful, Luffy," I said, flipping the pages slowly and making my way to the end. Everybody seemed to be in it, though from his drawings I really couldn't tell who was who. "How does it end?"

"With a happily ever after."

I looked up at him, in awe of how incredibly sweet he was. I stood up, leaning over the table to give Luffy a kiss on the lips, holding his face to mine. His paint covered fingers brushed against my cheek, and for a moment in time, despite being in the crowded library, it felt like it was just the two of us.

"Here Nami-swa–Oi! Luffy!" Sanji shouted at us.

"Yohoho! What a sight! Too bad I don't have eyes to see with! Nami, do you think I could see your birthday pant–?" Somebody had hit him for me.

"Get a room," Franky called.

"Everybody got a kiss except for me!" Usopp cried.

I smiled as I kissed Luffy again.

Best.

Birthday.

Ever.
