Sanji: Why doesn't Nami love me?
Jade: Because you're such a player.
Sanji: …?
They stopped at the top of the grassy slope where the forest ended. Down at the bottom of the slope the buildings started. Nami placed her hands on the straps of her backpack and walked down, Zoro quickly followed. Sanji tried his best to walk down but Ussop was running around him and Luffy was hanging off his arm begging that he continue playing their game. Sanji had no idea what the point of the game was or how to play it, he just wanted to stop Zoro and Nami slipping off into the crowd together. He struggled under Luffy's grasp.
Zoro and Nami disappeared into the crowded marketplace together, Sanji was pissed, he was also still only halfway down the slope. He tried to kick Ussop because he was in the way but another violent tug made him miss then trip. They all fell the rest of the way down the slope.
"WE WIN WE WIN WE WIN" Luffy and Ussop began to chant again.
A very annoyed Sanji took this opportunity to escape from them and search for Nami. He strode off looking around the marketplace; he instantly spotted some red hair over by the fruit stand. Quickly he made his way over to the stand. She wasn't there anymore.
"Dammit" Sanji said under his breath, his attention snapped over to the fruit, "oooo nice oranges" he quickly focused his attention back on finding Nami.
"Do you need any?" Nami asked from beside him.
Sanji turned around with a huge grin, but that grin slipped off his face like a McDonalds pickle on a window when he saw Zoro beside her.
He turned his eyes from Zoro to Nami, his visible eye popped into a heart, "I thought I lost you my beloved beauty."
"I can't go too far away if you want to use my money" she replied with a laugh which made Sanji swoon.
"I have no need for this sweet fruit" Sanji replied, "for I have you, my sweet."
Zoro nearly chucked, not only was that the worst line he has ever head but Sanji was winning over Nami, or so he thought he was.
"Maybe if I just pretend to like Sanji, Zoro will get jealous and admit that he likes me, if I don't hear him say it I don't think I could ever believe that he would like me." Nami thought.
She let slip a giggle to make Sanji's heart eye throb even more. He put his hand on her waist and led her off to the spice stand where they purchased the spices Sanji needed. Zoro growled and followed them. He wasn't going to let Sanji talk up Nami with all that sap about birds and flowers.
For most of the day Sanji and Zoro competed against each other to be with Nami. Zoro had sneakily snagged Sanji's pant leg on a fishing hook as they passed the fish stall. Sanji had ripped a patch off his pants to get free, then chased Zoro down and accidentally knocked over a huge pile of apples which landed on the annoyed prince. This behaviour continued for a long time, only stopping when they reached the meat stall and purchased nearly all of the goods.
Nami made both of them carry the packaged meat so they were unable to pull any more pranks. They met up with Luffy and Ussop. They were running around the marketplace gathering angry scowls from other shoppers. They started heading back through the marketplace with their load of meat.
Nami was walking alone at her own pace lost in her thoughts, "I don't know how much more of this I can take! Sanji is nice but he is just too nice, I need my personal space. Zoro better admit that he likes me before Sanji drives me insane, I don't know whether those two are fighting because Zoro likes me and is jealous or because he is just ticking off Sanji. After all, they seemed to forget all about me today when they had their prank session."
Sanji was trailing behind everyone while they made their way through the marketplace, "oh she is so beautiful" he thought, "she MUST like me, she didn't stop me when I held her, and she is practically ignoring that moss-head. She has been laughing at my jokes and listening to me all day, she must love me! Oh how I love her so! But that idiot Zoro is getting in the way of us, he is always trying to stop us being together. Why is he doing it? He could be trying to annoy me but there are other ways to do that, he wouldn't use Nami … oh I see…"
Sanji walked up beside Zoro, "you stupid marimo, she doesn't love you like she loves me," Sanji placed a well aimed kick to Zoro's head, "get that through your thick head and leave us alone."
The kick had shifted Zoro's bandana forward over his eyes, it was slipping off. He tried to fix it but his arms were so full of meat that by the time he dropped it all the bandana had already fallen to the ground.
Jade: I know I'm updating pretty fast because this is my second chapter I've added today, but the updating is going to slow down once school starts up again : (
Btw, this chapter was a literal pain to write because I broke a nail when I got lunch and I can't type as good because it is a finger I use a lot in typing. I am NOT a wimp, breaking a nail does hurt; I might be more accurate though if I said I tore it off instead.
IT'S BLEEDING!… mmm blood… -eye twitches-
To stop me drinking my own blood send me reviews so I will be full.
Jokz, I'm not really drinking my own blood… or am I? Nah I'm not… -looks around suspiciously-
