Disclaimer: One Piece is the creation of Eiichiro Oda and not mine. The following is a Fan fiction that involves characters from One Piece and an original character that I have created. That being said the only other disclaimer I have to say is. . . PLEASE DON'T SUE ME. . . Thank you.

Summary: Luffy accidentally makes a wish that affects Nami. Now the crew must try to undo the wish, and accommodate Nami as best as they can.

Things you might need to know: Just so everyone reading this knows before hand this story takes place after the SkyPiea arc/part of One Piece and thus it may contain spoilers for some people. At the bare minimum readers should have read/seen the Arlong Park arc to understand Nami's past.

Author's notes: I have tried to keep this Fan fiction as close to the original "One Piece storyline" as possible as far as names (of people, attacks, etc.) go, as well as the type of mood that One Piece generates. I try to keep everything like it would be found in the manga. If anyone has any questions or comments on if they think I am doing a good job, or injustice to the characters or story of One Piece, please leave a comment or review. I respect constructive criticism but please no flamers.

Wishful Thinking
Part 1 - The Wish
By red2z

It was an average day aboard the Going-Merry, Zoro was asleep, Sanji was cooking in the kitchen, Robin was in her chair reading Vol. 3 of "Rainbow Mist," Chopper was talking with the South Bird, Usopp was in his workshop looking at the Dials that he got from the people of SkyPiea, Nami was tending her oranges, and Luffy was sitting on his personal seat. For the most part this was a quiet day in the lives of the Luffy Pirates, until the South Bird started yelling.

"JOOOOOH, JOOOOOOH." cried the South Bird. Nami was the first to ask the inevitable question, "Chopper, what is that bird complaining about now?" Chopper then translated "He says that he sees something to the South of hear." Zoro, who was awakened by the noise decided to join in on the conversation "Of course he sees something to the South, that's the only direction he can look at." The South Bird took obvious offense "Joh." Chopper translated "He says 'At least I can tell what direction I'm going'." Luffy just laughed and said the South bird was right.

Nami looked to where the South Bird was looking and she said that there was something out there. The item floating at sea was a little treasure chest. Nami dove off the ship at the sight of the little box and quickly grabbed it. Upon her returning to the ship she took out her lock picks and with ease picked the lock on the chest. To her disappointment all that was inside was a little brass looking lamp. Nami's frustration was noticeable to say the least, "THAT'S IT!?! ONE LITTLE TINY LAMP!?! I DOVE INTO THE OCEAN AND RUINED MY CLOTHES FOR THIS!?! THIS THING IS BRASS, I CAN'T EVEN HOCK THIS STUPID THING!" She then went back to her room still complaining about the little brass bobble.

Usopp came out due to the shouting to see what was going on and found Chopper staring at the lamp. Chopper asked what the thing was, Usopp took this chance to tell one of his stories. "Don't tell me you don't know what that thing is Chopper? That is a magic lamp," declared Usopp. "REALLY, A MAGIC LAMP!" cried Chopper, "How does it work?" Usopp said, "It is really simple, first all you have to do is rub the lamp and-" Usopp started rubbing the lamp and almost immediately a smoke cloud started to come from the lamp. Usopp, Chopper, and the South Bird started screaming together and by the time Luffy and Zoro went to the back of the ship to see what the trouble was, they saw a man dressed in attire that would be fitting of someone from Arabasta. The man said, "I am the eater of the Majin-Fruit, I am a Majin-Ningen, my name is R. William."

"What are you doing on my ship?" asked Luffy. Usopp declared "He came out from the lamp when I rubbed it!" Robin who had just recently joined the others in the back of the boat chimed into the conversation "Majin-Ningen? Does that mean you are like a genie?" William replied, "Why yes it does, and as per the requirements of my powers I will grant you three wishes."

Luffy exclaimed, "Three wishes, that's great, lets ask for meat first." At that Usopp and Zoro both yelled, "THAT WOULD JUST BE WAISTING A WISH!" Nico Robin then suggested, "It might be best if we all got together and planned out all the wishes in advance, so as we don't waist any of them." By this time Sanji had come out of the kitchen to see what was going on, and Nami had come out of her room in a fresh set of clothes. The others explained to them what was going on.

Nami said, "I knew immediately that the lamp was important." "You just said that it was a waist of you time fishing it out of the sea," Usopp added. Nami glared at Usopp and said, "Still, being the one who brought it on board I should get the first wish, and I think that we should ask for gold, jewels, and every other treasure we can think of." Sanji at this time cooed in with, "Ah, Nami-san, I think that's a brilliant idea." Zoro responded, "Of course you would, but we already have all the gold we can carry, thanks to Sky Island, remember?" Luffy agreed, "That's right, it would be foolish to ask for gold, so I think we should ask for meat instead." Nami, Zoro, and Usopp all yelled "WE ARE NOT WISHING FOR MEAT!"

"You do this all the time Luffy!" shouted Nami, "You can never take anything seriously. You are like a little kid with a one-track mind. Oh, this whole thing is giving me a headache." Nami went on complaining like that but all Luffy did was comment out loud, "Man, Nami is always like this. I wish she was happy instead." Upon hearing the magic words R. William started to do his thing, "Alright, wish number one coming right up. Majin-Majin Grant." Before anyone could try and stop him, he shot his power from his fingertips right at Nami. Upon contact with his power Nami fell to the ground.

Everyone went to their fallen comrade's side and when they looked at her, her eyes seemed dull and lifeless. "Chopper, what's wrong with her?" Sanji asked in a panic. Chopper said, "I can't find anything wrong with her. Heartbeat and breathing is normal, I can't do anything else until I get my bag." R. William then added, "You won't find anything wrong with her, besides she should be alright any second now."

Nami then blinked her eyes and slowly stood up. She slowly looked everyone over and then threw her arms around Nico Robin and said, "Oh, Bellemere, I was so scared, it was all dark and I didn't know where I was." The surprised Robin said, "The navigator seems to think I'm 'Bellemere,' whoever that is." Usopp thought to himself and then it hit him, "Hey Sanji, wasn't Bellemere the name of Nami's foster mother on that island?" Sanji thought about it for a second, "Yeah I think you're right." Zoro then cast his attention on William, "Just what the hell did you do to her?" William replied, "Simple, I just granted that guy's wish, I made the girl happy." "What do you mean?" inquired Zoro. William just smiled, "I just looked into her mind and found when she was the happiest". Usopp then got the idea, "Zoro, I think he reverted Nami's mind back to that of a child."
