Having undisturbed peace, wasn't easy to come by one the Sunny, and Nami was beginning to feel slightly irritated as the chaos continued on the deck. She grouchily, got up from her lawn chair, fixing her glasses on unto her face, as she had been sunbathing, and went to the railing. She was sunbathing on the forefront of the ship, near where Jinbei was steering, and the idiots just could shut up, not to mention Robin wasn't doing anything to help her out, and Sanji was probably cooking some food, or drinks. Zoro was working out, so that left the most idiotic people in the crew to be a chaotic muse of eruption. She frowned, deeply, and made her way to the center of the chaos.

"Luffy!" she yelled, grabbing his ear and pulling him away from where Franky was showing them a new hairstyle he came up with. Brooke was cheering, just blending in with the chaos, and Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper were way to ecstatic to see a hair style.

"Nami!" Luffy wailed, "but I wanna see it!"

"Shut up!" Nami exclaimed, and pulled her captain in front of her, "Is it too hard for you to just shut up every once in a while!" she rubbed her temple, "you're such an idiot."

Luffy stared at her for a moment, "I'm having fun, Nami."

"Idiot!" she slammed her fist against his head. "You are being way too obnoxious!"

"I'm sorry," Luffy began, "But it is taking way too long to reach the next island, and I'm just having fun! I'm you're captain! I can have fun!" he yelled back into her face.

"Maybe you are having fun, Luffy," she sighed, "but I'm not."

"Then maybe you should join us." Luffy said, shifting his feet, eager to get back to his circle of people that were annoying his navigator, planting a smile on his face.

"Everyone is annoyed with how annoying you are!" Nami yelled into his face. She couldn't stand the chaos any longer.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. Sanji had come out of the kitchen to deliver drinks to her and Robin, and he stared down at the orange haired girl, and black haired captain of his. Robin had stopped watering her flowers, and made her way to the railing, also looking down at them. Franky, Usopp, Chopper and Brook, froze, and turned to face them. The clanking of metal stopped in the crow's nest, and Zoro peered out the window to the two at the corner of the ship. Jinbei held one hand on the wheel, and turned his body to face the direction Nami was in.

Nami gaped at what she said, and brought her hands to her mouth, intending to apologise. She hadn't meant it, deeply. She cared for Luffy to no end, she didn't want him to think she was annoyed with him, even if it did happen occasionally. Her eyes were wide, wishing she could take back what she said. Wishing she had never come down here. She hadn't really registered his kind smile, and attitude wanting her to join them until now. She just yelled at him saying he was annoying after he invited her to join them in their fun. She couldn't see his face, his hat was shading it completely.

Luffy pushed himself past her, "I'm sorry," he whispered, and made his way to the Sunny's head.

Nami had froze in her spot, for a few seconds, before spinning around, "Wait, Luffy!"

"Nami-san," she heard Sanji's voice behind her. She turned around and looked up. He was holding two drinks. She could see on a higher level, Robin looking down at her. She turned around and saw the four people Luffy was hanging out with looking sadly at her, before turning away and separating. She saw Jinbei, look at her briefly, before turning and facing forwards. She was too scared to look up. Zoro probably had a deep frown on his face. He knew her the longest out of everybody, with the exception of Luffy, the person she just deeply insulted.

"What, Sanji-kun?" she asked, hanging her head.

Sanji made his way down the stairs, and stood beside her, "Here," he handed her the drink he made her, "Out of all the things you could have said to him." he sighed.

Nami took the drink from him hesitantly, "I didn't mean it."

"I know." Sanji replied, "but does he?"

Nami looked at him, her eyes beginning to water with tears, "I don't know."

"Then tell him." Sanji said, turning around with the tray, Robin's drink still resting on it.

Nami sighed, she would tell him, but not right now. She needed to figure out the right words to say.

After the sun had disappeared on the horizon, Nami made her way to her captain. After dinner, he had isolated himself on the Sunny's head again. As she neared the steps, she heard someone getting up behind her. She turned around and saw Zoro. His gold earrings glistening in the moonlight.

"What, Zoro?" she asked.

"Are you going to hurt him again?" he responded.

"What? No, I-"

He cut her off, "didn't mean it? I know. He does, too. But, what if you did mean it, Nami?"

Her eyes widened, "That would never happen."

"What if you did mean it?" he asked again, "Do you know how much that would tear apart this crew?" he waited for her response, when it didn't come he continued, "A captain is supposed to be respected. Even if he doesn't view you as subordinates, we are his crew members, we should respect him. When one of his crew members, who are supposed to respect him tells him that he's annoying, that isn't respect. If one person gets away with that, how much more do you think the rest of the crew will stop respecting his decisions? Especially when that person is the navigator?" Zoro stared into her eyes, waiting for a response.

Nami couldn't give one. Zoro was right, all too right. He said similar things back two years ago on Water Seven, about Usopp rejoining the crew. She felt her eyes begin to water, and Zoro sighed, and turned around, making his way to the crow's nest for late night training. Luffy wasn't mad at her, Zoro was right in how he knew. Even if he did tell her he was sorry, he still knew she didn't mean it. Luffy had always been able to tell someone's emotions accurately.

Finally regaining the courage to go and talk to her captain, she slowly made her way up the steps. After reaching the top, and standing behind the head of the Thousand Sunny, she chanced it all, and meekly let her voice out, "Luffy?"

"Yeah?" she heard in response.

"I-" she stopped, taking in a deep breath, "I'm sorry." she hung her head too scared to see if he turned around. "I didn't mean it. I really do care about you, and respect you. I didn't mean to say you were annoying, Luffy." She played with her hands, "I want your forgiveness."

Luffy turned his head around to look at her, the other members of the crew were also looking at their exchange. Zoro had stopped on his way to the crow's nest, and he stood at the base of the main mast. Sanji at the kitchen door after cleaning the dishes, Robin at the railing in front of the girls room, next to Brook and Chopper. Usopp was near Zoro, next to Jinbei, as they had just come out of the boys room. All of them were waiting for her to continue. Luffy was looking down at her, also waiting.

"Luffy, I-" she played with her fingers again, before looking up to meet her captain's gaze, "I'm sorry!" she yelled, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! A navigator shouldn't hold herself higher than her captain, I know that! I already did! Luffy-" she shook her head slightly, her tears cascading down her cheeks, "Captain Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy, I'm sorry for disrespecting you!"

Luffy smiled, "I know you didn't mean it, Nami," he hopped off the head, "You're too nice to do that."

Any tears Nami was holding in, exploded from her eyes, as she wrapped her arms around her captain, wailing into his shoulder. Luffy had a soft and caring smile on his face, as he wrapped his arms around her, comforting her, and lightly patting her back. His tears were falling down his cheeks, in knowing that his crew member had been suffering from the remark more than he had. She was shaking as she cried, her hands clutching the fabric of his cardigan, as she was grateful for his forgiveness.
