So this chapter is really more of a filler. To bring you up to date: Nami and Zoro got "drunk" and slept together. Nami is now pregnant, tried to tell Zoro. Zoro like usually didn't understand. Robin being the smart and cunning gal she is figured it out. Nami fainted, Chopper did some medical stuff and then found out himself. Nami decided it would be best to leave the ship.
Anywho, this chapter just focuses on almost everyone's thoughts after finding the navigator missing. And it also explains why Nami and Zoro were "drunk"
"Nami's gone?" The blonde haired chain smoker moaned for the one-hundredth time. Tears streamed down his face as he gazed at the doctor.
"Oh Mellorine, why have you left me? Was I not gentle enough? Did I not cater to you enough? Nami-swan!" A new batch of tears burst forth. The doctor placed a small hoof on the whimpering Sanji's arm.
"That is what the note says." Chopper spoke gently, pushing the note into Sanji's hand.
"Bastard, I know what it says." The cook only shoved it away. The reindeer only nodded and looked down at the parchment. Perhaps this time the words would have changed.
Don't look for me. –Nami
The attempt had been futile. Simple and harsh words, she didn't even say goodbye.
"We have to go look for her!" Sanji shouted, making ready to jump off the ship.
"No." the curt order left them all speechless.
"But…but...but..." Sanji managed to stutter once he found his voice.
"NO!" The same order
"But Sanji is right! We need to find her! She is preg-part of our nakama!" shouted the ship's doctor.
"No." The captain simply pushed his hat farther down his head, casting a shadow over his eyes and walked off. His own tears sparkling on his cheeks, Sanji sank slowly to his knees. Cigarette falling from his lips, burning at his feet.
Why? Why wouldn't Luffy let them go after her? He had chased her to Arlong Park. Had rescued the tangerine lover from the merman against her wished. So why will he now not give the command to chase her? To bring back their precious navigator.
Sanji's hand curled into fists, finger nails biting into his flesh, as he pressed them against his thighs. Tears splashed on the floor. Why?
Zoro stared at the mirror-like surface of the water. Nami's words haunting him
"We sometimes have to pay for our actions."
What could she have meant? Had she been trying to warn him, that she was leaving? She didn't leave because of their night together did she?
Flashback
He had not noticed how beautiful she was before now. It hit him like a sack of bricks. How could he have overlooked her? How had he been just seeing her as another crewmember all this time? How much had he drank by now? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? Not that it mattered. His mind wasn't clouded by alcohol, it never was. Her beauty was the thing intoxicating him now. Perhaps it was the air. The warms salty air that attracted him to her. But as they lie together in her bed, he felt content. It was like this is where he was always meant to be.
End Flashback
He shook his head trying to rid himself of the images. He wished it would rain. Today shouldn't be so nice. The sky shouldn't be so blue. Why the hell was he pining over that stupid navigator? She had left them of her own free will. It wasn't like he had any feelings for her at all.
Flashback
She fit so perfectly in his arms. And as they drifted off to sleep, he vowed to kiss away all the scars on her heart. She vowed to be his rock, the one he could always depend on.
End Flashback
He sighed. They had both woken up with headaches. They had both "forgotten" what had transpired that night. Deep down, Zoro knew neither one of them had really forgotten about that night. More they had both been embarrassed about the situation. It has been a long time since he felt this weak.
Why did she leave him?
The liar sat in the crow's nest, staring at his feet. He and Nami didn't have devil's fruit abilities like Luffy, Robin and Chopper. And they certainly didn't possess the monsterous strength of Sanji and Zoro. Out of all of them, he and Nami were the most alike. Both weak in body, yet strong in heart. Nami wouldn't have ran away because she felt inferior to any of them. No! She left for some other reason. He was sure of it.
"Ano…Robin?" The doctor inquired of the assassin. She looked at him sympathically.
"Why do you think Nami left?" He wiped his nose. His fur wet from tears.
"She didn't leave because she doesn't trust me? I may not be all that knowledgable on delivering babies, but I always do my best! And I would never let anything happen to her or her child." Robin only bent down and hugged the little one.
Luffy stood in the navigator's room. Only her missing maps told of her absence. Luffy grabbed an item off her desk and clutched it tightly.
"Nami" He breathed before stalking out of the room determinedly. Moments later, he stood on the Ram's head. Once again, he looked at the object in his hand.
"You will always be our navigator!" He threw the object into the ocean and watched as the log pose sank.
She had set sail on the first passenger cruise, she could fine. And now with the noon sun rising, she looked back towards the island.
"Zoro…Luffy…everyone, I'll miss you." With tears misting in her eyes, she turned away. Hand rested protectively on her stomach. Now was not the time for doubts. Now was not the time for second thoughts. Raising a baby with wanted pirates, was not a good idea. And that is why, she convinced herself, Zoro could not know.
"Zoro…"She whispered.
So why doesn't Luffy want to go after Nami? Because that would ruin my plans for the next chapter or so. Sorry but Luffy is going to go on sailing for One Piece. Don't worry, don't worry. Nami will rejoin them whether she wants to or not. Baby will be born soon. Help me decide on name! And there just might be a special guest appearance. mwuhahahaha!
Kittenkaboodle:Yes I think if I killed Sanji, his fangirls would kill me. Calm down calm down. She has to leave otherwise my idea would work. :grins wickedly:
Wolfie: If you faint, how will you read my next chapter?
ZorosDragon: Thank you.
Infinite: Yeah they probably were weird.
Illusion: I sorry!
Mushroom::grabs arm: Quick! Run from the Zombies! They will eat your brains!
Yachtzee: Only took me two times to spell your name right this time! And when I am not lazy and have a chance, I will go back and fix those mistakes. And yes chocolate is one of my favourite things. And describing the pregnancy wasn't hard to do. I have been pregnant before. But I never craved chocolate covered anchovies with raspberry sauce.
House: I am glad that you really really really like this. And everyone should love ZoNa! They are delicious! So start liking them::shakes fist menacingly:
Subtle: Who knows what she will have...it is a mystery.
Dreo: Thank you.
Lilo::blinks: You are going to try it::blinks: Yuck! And anchovies are a type of fish...yuck!
