"Hey, starboard...," Nami told Chopper weakly.
"Okay," Chopper replied, also sounding exhausted as he turned the helm. He turned to Nami, looking as tired as he sounded, "How's that?"
"Oh, a little more," Nami said as she laid on the deck.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Luffy yelled at everyone, who where all worn out from Luffy jumping off the back of Zunesha without any warning. "Pull yourselves together! Or we'll sink!" He added, stomping his feet and waving his arms frantically.
Nami glared at him as she sat up and yelled back, "Shut up! Because you jumped off the elephant all of the sudden, we're all worn out! BAKA!"
"Thank you. I'm savoring the joy of living now," Pekoms said. "But... I'll make you pay for it!"
Nami turned to Law, "AND YOU! WHY DIDN'T YOU USE YOUR DEVIL FRUIT TO KEEP US FROM FALLING INTO THE SUNNY! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE ANYWAY!"
"Shachi, Penguin, and Robin-ya pushed me off after Straw Hat-ya jumped... Law answered. "Sorry, I would have but by the time I got close enough to the ship to use my power... you guys where already on bored."
"It made my blood freeze in my veins..." Brook said, who was still in soul form from falling. "Oh, all I have is bones though," he weakly laughed.
"Damn! What did I do to deserve this?" Pedro said clinching on to the Thousand Sunny's railing and shaking in terror.
"No... we swerved from the course again," Nami said laying back down when the ship turned directions. "Port..."
"OKAY! LEAVE IT TO ME!" Carrot said running out of the kitchen (I assume) and Jumping to the lower deck.
"LOOK! SHE'S FULL OF ENERGY...!" Luffy said pointing to Carrot behind him, doing summer salts in the air, before getting an 'oh shit, wait a minute!' look on his face.
"Wow! I'm really right on the sea!" She said happily.
"Eeeeehh!" Luffy said turning to her.
"This ship looks so heavy but it's floating and moving forward!"
"Wh-why are you here?!" Luffy asked, eyes bugging out of his head.
"Huh?" Carrot said turning to him with a big smile on her face and eyes wide.
"Whaaat?!" They all yelled and the poor Sunny jumped out of the ocean a good distancea.
"Carrot?!" Nami said surprised and Luffy, Brook, and Chopper gasped.
"Carrot, why are you here?!" Pedro said walking up to her.
"Huh?! I came along with you!" She answered, her rabbit ears twitching in excitement. "Garchu!" She jumped on Luffy, wrapping her arms around his neck and bitting his ear. "Nami!" She said turning to the navigator and bitting her ear. "Chopper!" And bit his ear as well. "Baron Corpse!" She tried bitting Brook but almost broke her teeth, "Too hard!" She turned to Law who quickly teleported out of her reach.
"I'm good with a simple hello, thanks," he said resting Kikoku on his shoulder. Great. Now there's eight of us... Thangs are getting more difficult. Why did those three have to push me off the stupid elephant! "Tch"
"HI! I didn't know you were coming too!" She said but still hugged him, not noticing how tense he was from his irritation with his crew and Robin.
"I'm sorry but can we go back?" Pedro asked.
No way in hell. We're running out of time as it is! But eight is too many! "I also need to head back. Shachi and Penguin thought they were helping but this is to many people... Your crew split up for the purpose of not getting caught and now there"s the same amount of people as if it where just your crew."
Nami smiles at Law, having been told some of what was going on between him and Sanji by Robin, after having permission from Law to tell her. Robin didn't tell her that they were kind of together, in a sense, but Nami figured it out quickly.
"What?!" Carrot said grabbing Pedro by the shoulder, tears streaming down her face. "Don't do that! Wanda will be mad at me!" She said clinging to his back but sliding to the deck as he walked.
"Are you trying to cause trouble to those who saved us, Carrot?!" He said, continuing to walk and she let go.
"I just wanted to go on an adventure at sea along with Luffy and the others even if only once!" She cried.
"We're going to sneak into the Emperor's headquarters! We're not playing!"
"Please! I'll do anything - take me with you! I didn't wanna cause you trouble so I brought... Look! Lunch! Juice! A snack! An extra shirt!" She said throwing her bag down and pulling out a few carrots, a canteen of carrot juice, another carrot and finally a T-shirt.
"Unlike everything else, the shirt is not a carrot, is it?" Brook asked.
"No, no. But there's one on it! She said, standing up and unfolded the shirt for him to see.
"That's nice! Yohoho!"
"How long will they last?" Pekoms asked scooting across the grassy deck.
"Like a half day! The sea is vast, isn't it?!" Carrot answered. (She's too cute and innocent!) "WHAT?! IT'LL TAKE SEVRAL DAYS TO GET TO BIG MOM'S ISLAND?! EVEN IF WE GO STRAIGHT?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S SO BIG AND WIDE!" She yelled in shock when they explained it to her. "The sea is like a wonderland!" She said as stars formed around her head. "This will be my first sleepover!"
"A wonderland? It's not even an island," Pekoms said.
"Oh, well. You and Tra-guy are here now and it can't be helped," Luffy said eating one of Carrot's carrots. (That's confusing... that's like Who's Who... lol). "Can you protect yourself?"
"Yes! Thank you! I'll be alright..." She said turning around with her hands in the air. She spotted the carrot in his hand and ran towards him. "Why are you eating my carrot?!" She said jumping at him as electricity radiated off of her body. She tackled him and bit his shoulder.
Yup... can definitely protect herself... Law thought as a beed of sweet appeared on his forehead.
"Pat her head, Luffy!" Nami said.
He did and she looked up at him with a smile and blushing.
"That was close! You almost killed me! You're strong!" Luffy said.
"Okay, you can have the carrot," she said, sweetly.
"Luffy was almost defeated!" Chopper said, eyes bugging out of his head.
Pedro let out a breath of smoke, "well, she is quite a fighter."
"Pedro-San, when did you get up there? You really like heights," Brook said looking up to Pedro, who was now on the mast.
"I'm hungry. Let's eat," Luffy said swallowing the last of the carrot, including the leaves. "Somebody, make something!"
Brook and Chopper, who was sitting on Brook's shoulder, looked at each other. Pekoms slid away. Pedro remained on the mast staring at the ocean. Carrot chuckled. Law leaned against the cabin wall, crossing his legs, Kikoku held over his shoulder, and hat covering his eyes as he looked to the ground.
Luffy's stomach growled and he sighed.
"All right! I'll do it so watch the sea, okay?" Nami said.
Why do I get the feeling there's something more then just food in it for her?
Brook and Chopper looked at each other again then back to Nami, "Yes, sir!"
"Yay!" Luffy said getting to his feet.
Nami glanced back to them and continued walked to the kitchen raising a finger, "Each of you must pay me five thousand berries.
I hate it when I'm right...
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Luffy, Brook, and Chopper said, frantically waving their arms in front of them. "All of our allowance will be gone!"
"What should we do then?" She asked on the stairs, not turning to them.
Once again, Brook and Chopper looked at each other.
Brook, either you or I should make something, Chopper thought.
You're right, Brook mentally agreed. If we leave it to Luffy-San, we don't know what he'll make for us!
"I'll make Something!" Luffy said pointing to himself.
"What?!" Nami, Chopper, and Brook said, turning to their captain.
"Count on me! I'll cook you a lot of delicious dishes!" Luffy said walking to the kitchen.
"I got a bad feeling about this," Law muttered to himself with a sigh.
"Oh, no..." Chopper said.
"Oh, please don't... Hey, wait!" Brook begged chasing after Luffy, Chopper still on his shoulder.
"Food! Food! Food!" Luffy chanted.
"Wait! Don't do it!" Brook said.
"Luffy! Can you even cook?!" Nami asked.
Carrot chuckled.
Shachi, Penguin... What did you two get me into?! Law thought walking to the bow of the ship and leaning on the railing and staring out to the sea. "Just wait several more days, Sanji. I'll keep my promise, I swear."
