One Piece:
Christmas Things
"OKAY!" Luffy exclaimed in a sing-song tone, "We're off to look for gifts! You can ask others for help, but you're not allowed to shop with anyone, especially Usopp,"
"HEY! I'M RIGHT HERE, You KN--…"
"Alright! MERRY GO CREW, GO!"
And they were off as if someone lit their bottoms on fire.
! With Chopper !
Chopper, knowing exactly what he was getting for his 'gift-target', ran straight into a flashy little trade center…
! With Usopp !
Usopp was clueless. What do you get for a g--…someone who has everything they need? And you don't know what any of their hobbies are?
So, he dragged his feet around town, looking from window to window, trying to get some sort of clue.
After a while, he was getting a little annoyed.
"Grr…I hate that g--…I want ring h--…I'll kick h--…ARG! I NEED SOME SORT OF SI--…"
! CRASH !
And he got one.
"Ow…what the heck was…huh!" Usopp looked down at the thing that landed on his foot and got his gift idea instantaneously.
! With Nami !
She knew exactly what she wanted to get Chopper. He had always been so kind to her, she loved him like a brother…who was a reindeer…human…animal…guy. So, she had developed a strong relationship with him and knew many things about him, other than the fact that he loved to help people when they were hurt physically, mentally and emotionally. Because both of them had gone through something painful, but were still able to smile. Whenever he smiled, she found herself smiling because he was smiling. It also made her happy to know he was happy.
So, Nami knew exactly where to go. She had never been to this town before, but she kind of figured where everything was and shockingly, she was right. Once she found all the town's stores that held the item she had in mind, she began her bargain hunt for the best price. She may love Chopper, but she loves money too. So, she respects both.
! With Sanji !
He was miserable. That was putting it mildly. He could not believe he was going to have to spend the berries he had been saving up to buy Nami this wonderful red and white dress on the muscle-headed idiot was forced to get gifts for. He knew if he refused to get anything, Nami would be upset with him for dampening the Christmas fun. And there was no way he was going to hurt Nami just to bug the pain in the neck known as 'Bozo'. So, he searched on…
And on…
And on…
And on…
And on…
And o--…
"Why, hello there!"
"Huh?" Sanji turned at the sound of the calling voice, only to look at the source with heart filled eyes, "Hello to you too!" He skipped over to the girl. She had brown layered hair that fanned out slightly at the bottom. Her pink lip stick matched the tight pink dress that fit her curves perfectly. And her green eyes reminded him of emeralds…But this is how he looks at al women.
"Can I offer you a treat, darling?" She asked flirtatiously as she batted her eyelashes.
"Sure!" He responded, sounding delighted.
"Well then, come on in." Her voice deepened ever so slightly, just enough to entice him enough to follow her calling finger where she led him with no worry on his mind.
...Uh, Sanji, what about shopping?
! With Luffy !
Looking was hard. There were so many options, yet so little time and money. Well, for some people. As the price was examined again…
"…BOO!"
"AHHH!" Nami screamed from shock. She turned around quickly and used the item she was holding to wak the intruder over the head. Only to soon realize it was Luffy.
"…L-…L-Luffy! You scared me!"
"Quiet, PLEASE!" Someone shouted.
"So sorry! Luffy!" Nami now whispered as she dragged Luffy to a deserted location in the store, "Why did you do that? And what are you doing here?"
"I need help with an idea for a gift." Luffy openly admitted.
"Oh, well okay, I'll help. But…WHY did you have to SCARE ME!"
"Uh-HEM!" Someone signaled.
"SORRY!" Nami apologized again.
"I thought you were sad 'cause you were looking down. So I thought you would get a laugh if I scared you. But I guess only I did. Ha ha ha ha h--…"
"Ma'AM! If you and your friend do not quiet down soon, I'm going to have to ask you both to leave! You are too loud, even the next three stores on both sides of me are complaining they can hear screami--…"
"Yes, we understand. So sorry to disturb you and your business." Nami apologized again.
The salesclerk walked away.
"Okay…So, who are you getting for?" Nami asked, now calm once more.
"I can't tell you. It's a secre--…"
"IF YOU DON'T TELL ME, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? HUH!"
! BAM !
"THIS IS JUST GREAT, LUFFY! NOW WE GOT KICKED OUT OF THE STORE!" Nami shouted for all the town to hear.
"Well don't blame me. You were the one yelling." Luffy said in defense.
"Gee, I wonder WHY!" Nami exclaimed.
"So, can you help me?" Luffy asked.
Nami could feel a blood vessel about to explode in her forehead. Maybe even more than one. She was also running a fever 'cause her skin was hot.
"I. Am. SO. OUT OF HERE!" Nami yelled as hard sounding as she could as she stomped off.
"Nami, wait! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Come back! NAMI!"
People around them thought they had just had a fight and broken up.
! With Zoro !
Okay, getting the name was great. It was the getting that was the hard part. He had no idea whatsoever on what to get for the navigating girl. She was so…complex to him. Like a puzzle when you're missing half the pieces, but you try to put it together anyway so you can try to figure out the picture on your own. That was definitely how he would define Nami as; a puzzle. But…who ever said puzzle can't be fun? They build intelligence and can be very entertaining. So, the only part he didn't like was buying a gift for his puzzle.
Whoops! The puzzle.
Uh, Nami! Yeah, Nami! Not a puzzle, Nami!
How do you get a gift for a puzzle?
What would you get for a puzzle?
Another puzzle?
Heh, no!
Then you'd have a chance of having to incomplete puzzles and that's…not…
Never mind.
Anyway, this still didn't help Zoro in his quest for the p--…NAMI's gift.
"…Man, I hate puzzles."
Sure you do, Zoro. Sure you do…
