Previously: Nami's mind has been reverted back to that of a child's. Nami's mind has also mistaken those in the crew for people from her past. The crew decided that it would be best to pretend to be the people that Nami believes them to be. Robin, deciding that she needed to know about Nami's past, went off to talk with Usopp.
Wishful Thinking
Part 3 - Exactly
"So that was the navigator's past?" inquired Robin, while she was walking out of her room with Usopp. "Yeah, and that is just the stuff that Nojiko 'decided' to tell us about," commented Usopp. Robin then noticed Nami and Zoro walking towards them, she then told Usopp, "Mr. Sharpshooter, perhaps you should go find the captain, who knows how the navigator will react to you in her present state." Usopp understood and then went to find Luffy.
Robin walked over to Zoro and Nami asking Nami, "Did you enjoy your walk?" Nami looked at Robin and said, "We looked and looked, but we still couldn't find Genzo's windmill." Robin just smiled an said, "That's alright Nami, I'm sure that it will turn up. Thank you for taking her for a walk Genzo." Zoro just said "Yeah, no problem," and started to walk off, but he didn't get very far. Robin told him, "Oh, and Genzo, you might want to ask the others who is now in charge of steering the boat, since our navigator is not able at the moment." It then dawned on Zoro that no one was piloting the boat, so he went to find the others. Zoro found Luffy, Usopp and the South Bird in the back of the boat and R. William's lamp in the middle of them, and they were just staring at it.
Zoro was wondering what they were doing so he broke the silence and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" Luffy responded with, "We can't seem to get him out from his lamp. We tried asking him to come out, demanding that he come out, and the South Bird even poked at it with his beak." "Joh," cawed the South Bird. Zoro looked a little displeased, "Look, I think we have a more important situation on out hands. Without Nami, we don't have a navigator, and we also don't have anyone to steer the boat. Try and come up with something, I'm going to get Sanji and Chopper."
The three watched Zoro walk towards where the others were. Usopp then remembered, "Hey, Luffy. I think I remember how I got him out of the lamp in the first place." Luffy looked surprised and happy all at once, "Really, how?" Usopp said, "I just rubbed the lamp on the side and he came out in a cloud of smoke." "Alright, lets try it," said Luffy. So Luffy rubbed the lamp on the side and smoke started to come out.
No sooner had Luffy rubbed the lamp had R. William appeared. Also at that very moment, Zoro had brought Sanji and Chopper back to get their ideas on what should be done. They turned the corner without seeing William. Sanji suggested, "Robin-chan should be able to navigate, after all that was how she made it from island to island on the Grand Line." While Chopper thought out loud, "Well, why don't we wish that we were in port at the closest island." William smiled saying, "Alright, two down, one to go. Majin-Majin Grant!" The crew tried to stop him upon hearing the words, but like the last time it was useless to try to stop him. A bright light engulfed the ship and when the light faded they found themselves docked at an island.
Sanji asked, "What did you do now?" William simply answered, "What is it with you people? You wish for something and then act like you don't want it." Usopp was the next to complain, "What are you talking about? I didn't hear anyone here say they wished for anything." William pointed right at Chopper, "That little fellow right there said '. . . we wish that we were in port at the closest island'." Sanji complained, "That was taken completely out of context!" William just smiled, "In or out of context, it doesn't matter to me, as long as the word 'wish' is spoken, it is considered a wish."
Zoro and Sanji, at that point had had it with William, and were going to take it out on him. William, sensing that he was in trouble said, "Well, granting that wish sure took a lot out of me, I'm going to go back into my lamp. Oh, and just one more thing. . . you only have one wish left, I suggest you use it wisely." With that he turned into smoke and returned into his lamp.
Sanji cursed, "Damn it! He did it again!" The rest of the crew was quiet until Robin broke the silence, "I take it that our second wish has been granted." As the crew turned to see Robin walking towards them, they noticed Nami wasn't with her. Sanji asked, "Hey, where is Nami?" Robin said, "I took her to her room so she could look at her maps and books about navigation, that she doesn't know are hers." Chopper looked sad and apologized, "I'm sorry, if I wouldn't have said anything then we would still have two wishes left." Usopp tried to console him, "It's alright Chopper. We know you didn't mean it, it was an accident." Luffy tried to lighten the mood as best he could, "Well, we are docked, and have nothing else to do, so lets all go ashore." The whole crew knew that they needed a break and since there was nothing else that they could do right now, they decided to go ashore for a little brief getaway.
The crew decided to split up into groups and go town. Robin thought that it would be best if Nami and Sanji accompany her into town. Luffy was going to go into town with Usopp, Chopper, and Zoro, but Zoro said that he was going to stay on the ship for a little while. The first set of people to leave was Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, so as not to upset Nami by having her accidentally seeing Usopp. After they all were on land Robin had Sanji go get Nami. "Are you sure you won't be coming ashore, 'Mr. Swordsman'?" asked Robin. Zoro looked at her and answered, "Oh, I'll be on my way in a little while. There's just something that I have to do first." Robin just looked at him, she had only been a member of the crew for a short while, but she knew that he was up to something.
Sanji and Nami were walking toward Robin and Zoro. "Hi Genzo. Nojiko says that we're going to town. Are you coming with us?" asked Nami. "Not right now Nami, I might join you a little later though." Nami responded by saying that he was stingy. Zoro waited until the three were off the ship until and then he went over to the lamp that was still on the floor where it was left.
Zoro picked up the lamp, and then remembered that he didn't know how to get William out of it. He looked at the South Bird and asked, "I don't suppose you know how to get him out of here." The South Bird shook his head up and down, as if to say 'yes'. "Okay then. Want to tell me what it is?" The South Bird shook his head from side to side as if to say 'rub it'. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO!?!" "JOOOOOH!" (Translation: "YOU IDIOT!"). Zoro then remembered Usopp saying that he rubbed the lamp and William came out.
Zoro started to rub the lamp, and William came out saying, "Well that didn't take long." "Look, I'm in no mood for games. Now you're going to tell me 'Exactly' what needs to be said so that Nami's mind will go back to the way it should be," said the less than pleased Zoro. William just smiled and said, "Will that be considered your third wish then?" Zoro had it with him and grabbed him by the throat and walked over to the side of the boat. Still holding William by the throat, Zoro held him over the side of the boat saying, "Now you said that you ate the Majin Fruit, so that means you can't swim. If you consider this anything, consider this my first threat."
William who thought Zoro was bluffing said, "If you drop me then the girl will stay like she is now, and never recover." Zoro then thought about it and William was right, so he then started to bring him back on board the ship. When William was an inch or so away from to side of the boat Zoro said, "Nami doesn't seem to have a problem with how she is now." With that said Zoro started to loosen the grip he had on William. William realized that Zoro wasn't joking and said that he would tell him what to say.
"If you want to return the girl to normal, then you have to say exactly, 'I wish Nami's mind returned to its normal way of thinking, as of this morning when she woke up'," said the fear filled William. Zoro, still a little weary asked, "Are you sure that is what needs to be said?" William responded, "If you say that, I will be forced to return her to her previous self." Zoro added, "You know if you're lying, you go over the edge." The nervous William just nodded yes. Zoro grinned saying, "Alright then, I wish. . ."
