Jade: I can't wait to see Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest!
Nami: -punches Jade on the nose-
Jade: ARGH! INSOLENT MORTAL!


Tables were set out at the sides of the large room. They were covered with large amounts of delicacies, foods of all kinds. The room was swarming with people of all stature, from the nobles to the peasants, and they were all mingling. Four beautiful, soft, velvet covered chairs were to the left of the three thrones. And upon these chairs sat Sanji, Nami, Ussop and Luffy, and upon the largest throne, in the centre, was Zoro.

The air was thick with curiosity, everyone wanted to know why they were called into the castle. Zoro wanted to watch the crowd for a little bit longer before he began to explain. Never before had he seen the rich talk to the poor with such kindness, or the lowly share tales with high and mighty.

After awhile Zoro stood, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

"I suppose you are all wondering why you are here." Zoro said, "As you may have gathered, I have been crowned as the new king." The hall broke into murmurs which soon stopped, "but before I continue on that subject, I wish to trial these four people here" he gestured to his friends.

Angus stood, he unrolled the document and spoke, "Whilst under the governmental decree of the monarchy, all regulations are to be enforced by the king's law-enforcers, and all laws are to be made by the king. No other person of any stature may create a law, only when the words are from the mouth of the king, will a law be made. The king's word is law."

"Why did he need that document so badly" Nami said to herself.

"Suppose he just wanted the legal proof that he can do what he wants." Sanji replied with a bit of a smile.

"Ussop," Zoro said, Ussop stood and walked over to Zoro with shaking legs and kneeled before him. "You have been accused of pushing royalty." Ussop shook even more, "and you did this in order to make me leave the marketplace, through this action you have shown a sense of caring for my safety." Zoro smiled, it was working just how he wanted. "For this, you will receive a property, a stature of a noble, a carriage, and enough gold to let you live the rest of your life in peace."

Ussop jumped up, "REALLY!"

"Yes" Zoro smiled as Ussop returned to his seat.

"Sanji," Zoro said, Sanji stood up and walked over to Zoro and kneeled before him, "You have been accused of insulting royalty." Sanji grinned as he thought back to that moment, "by doing this you have shown, bravery. And for this," Zoro pulled out one of the swords from his side, "I dub you" he tapped the sword on each of Sanji's shoulders, "Sir Sanji, knight of our land, you will always have a home here."

Sanji stood and laughed softly, "Don't get emotional marimo" he said quietly, and then left back to his seat.

"Nami," Nami stood and came before Zoro; he hated it when she kneeled, "you have been accused with being an accomplice," he took her hands and helped her to her feet, "for accompanying these people, you receive a property, and ownership of the east woods."

Nami smiled, she now owned what had been her home for so long. She owned the camp, the waterfall, everything in that area of the woods. She went back to her chair.

"As I was saying before," Zoro began, "I have very recently been crowned king,"

Murmurs filled the hall, what about that last boy?

"He didn't forget Luffy did he?" Nami thought.

Zoro continued, "But after long consideration, I have decided that I am not ready for a position as such. I do not wish to be king." A few people gasped, "Luffy," Luffy bounded forward took off his hat and kneeled, "you have shown the responsibility and hospitality of a true leader, for this, I crown you." He took off his crown then placed it on Luffy's head. "All hail, King Monkey D Luffy the first!"

The hall was silent. Luffy stood to his feet and turned to face everyone. Zoro stepped back and kneeled, his head bowed. Soon the rest of the hall followed.

"YES!" Luffy punched the air, "Arise!" Luffy shouted, "Dig in and enjoy the food!"

Soon enough the hall was full of chatter again. And Sanji was off dancing with some of the young beautiful girls. Ussop was entertaining a small group of children with a story of him fighting off a bear, a group of bandits and two, three, no four wild lions. Luffy was over where the food was, he had his straw hat underneath his crown. Nami and Zoro stood side by side watching everyone.

"I think he'll make a good king" Nami said.

"I agree," said Zoro, "do you wanna go?"

"Sure"

They both snuck out of the hall and took a horse from the stables. Zoro steered the horse with Nami sitting behind him, her arms wrapped around him. They galloped off to the forest, which Nami now owned.

The stars were out and the air was warm. Zoro lay on his back by the fire, Nami's head on his chest.

"I think I could get used to this" said Zoro.

"Me too" came the reply.

"You know" Zoro took Nami's hand in his, "I could get used to this camp too."

Nami shifted herself so she was face to face with Zoro, "we don't need anything else do we?" she kissed him, "Not when we have each other."


Jade: THE END -sniff-
Nami: Happily ever after!
Ussop: yay! A carriage for me so no more hitchhiking!
Luffy: I wanted to kill a dragon.
Zoro: They don't exist so I crowned you.
Luffy: Don't exist? Why didn't anyone tell me!
Sanji: All right! I'm a knight!
Zoro: Only because of me. Jade, you made me too nice.

Hmmm, still seems incomplete, should I do an epilogue? Like, "ten years later" or something like that.
