AC: Hello everyone and welcome back for more one piece.
Eclipse: Yep and this time it's our favorite navigator birthday.
Dusk: Happy birthday Nami, you beautiful thief.
AC: Yep so let's start the story everyone.
"Hey Nami."
Nami turns away from tending to her tangerine bush, and looks at the grinning coral colored cat "hey Clarity. How are you?"
"Good." Nami nods.
"That's good." She said, smiling before turning back to the bush "well I'm going back to tending my tangerines." She said as she did just that. It was silent on the ship minus the sea and chatter behind her, but she pays no mind as she focus on her task. Once she was done, she smile "finish." She then plucks one of the tangerines. Turning around, she almost jump when she see Clarity still behind her, sitting at the same spot. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm down her beating heart before speaking "Clarity don't scare me like that."
The cat chuckled "sorry." Nami rolls her eyes.
"Seriously Clarity, don't do that. Plus I thought you left." The cat chuckled.
"Why would I leave?" Raising an eyebrow, she stares at Clarity who continued to grin. If she didn't know any better, she thinks the cat is up to something especially with that grin of hers. She shifts her weight on her right before speaking.
"Is there something you need?" Her grin grew to the point it was Cheshire like, reaching from ear to ear. From seeing that, Nami became cautious and afraid. She heard about Clarity's mischievous side and she always try to avoid that but now she don't think she can. She has to get away before Clarity does something "well I got to go and-"
As if she read her mind, Clarity lunges at Nami, changing into a puma in midair. Nami screams as she was tackle to the ground. She groans before looking up at Clarity. Brown meets blue as they stare. Clarity playfully growl making Nami freeze. Chuckling evilly, she leans forward. Nami gulps before closing her eyes, waiting for her doom until something wet hit her cheek. Opening her eyes, she watch Clarity pulls back her tongue before yelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." It didn't take long for her snap out of it.
"WHAT?"
"Happy birthday, my sweet tangerine." She said.
"Clarity, you stupid cat. Are you trying to kill me?"
"Maybe." Nami frowns.
"I hate you." Clarity laughs.
"No you don't." Before Nami can respond, Clarity snatches the tangerine from her hand before running off. Nami sigh before sitting up, shaking her head in disbelief.
"She hang out with Luffy too much." As she stand up, something shiny caught her eye. It was near by the tangerine bush. Wondering what it is, she picks it up, only to gasp. It was an orange crystal in a shape of a tangerine. She traces the crystal, feeling the smoothness before a smile graces her face.
She walked over to the railing and spotted Clarity playing with the boys. She laughs before looking at her gift. With a grin on her face, Nami toss the crystal in the air then caught it.
On the sky island called Weatheria, Nami is outside honing her skills. She spins her Clima-Tact before sending weather balls around the area "Thunder Tempo." A shock of electricity is shot down on the ground, hitting the dirt before stopping. She pants, being out of breath "need… to keep… going… for Luffy." She said as she spins her staff again.
It's been one year. One year since they were separated. One year since she stayed on this island. One year since she got the news. It was clear from Luffy. They will meet at the same island in two years. Meanwhile they will train to get stronger. And that what Nami is doing. Training to get stronger for her captain. She will not be weak anymore, she will get strong. Besides they won't be able to navigate without her.
As she focuses on her training, she failed to notice a presence. An unknown female silhouette is watching her with her blue eyes. She continued to stare. Not moving from her spot before sighing. She looks up at sunset, watching the sun before an idea appears in her head. With a grin on her face, she giggles before going behind the tree.
"Rain Tempo." The sound of rain was heard as drop of rain hit the ground before disappearing. She smile, happy at her progress "that's good now let's see." She pulls out a wind knot "I wonder if I can-"
A sound of twig being broken caught her attention, causing her to turn around "what was that?" She looks around trying to figure out the sound before another one heard "hello?" She yells out "Anyone there?" No response. Nami looks around the area. Her eyes scan the area around her trying to find the culprit before something caught her eyes. A female figure is peeking behind the tree, a grin on her face. Nami blink her eyes then rubs them, hoping she's not hallucinating. After blinking her eyes, she looks up to see the woman is gone "what the heck? Where she go?"
"Caw."
"Huh?"
She turns her head just in time to see a falcon flying towards her. She screams before ducking. The falcon flew over her and towards the sunset. Nami stood back up and watch the bird go "stupid bird." She grumbles as she brushes herself off. When she did that, she notices a pink seashell on the ground along with coral feather.
Wait
Coral feather?
Bending down, Nami picks up two items in shock as she stood upright. Looking at seashell, she notices a small letter inside. Raising an eyebrow, she took it out and read.
Happy birthday, Nami.
She gasps before smiling and without thinking, she ran. She ran to the edge of the island and stop. Staring at the sunset, she took a deep breath and yell from top of her lungs, hoping and praying that the message could reach her.
"THANK YOU CLARITY."
On the Sunny, the orange haired navigator is lounging in the chair, enjoying the weather and the calmness before their next crazy adventure. Ever since they're reunited, the crew keeps going on dangerous adventures but hey that's what happens when you have Luffy as your captain.
Nami sigh, shaking her head with a smile. Well at least it's not boring. It was quiet minus the chatter until she felt something creeping on her. Knowing who it is, she smirk before speaking "don't even think about it."
"Aw man." Opening her eyes, she looks up to see a woman wearing a light blue dress with short sleeves, sweetheart neckline and aquamarine flowing skirt that reach her knees. Her long coral hair is in a braid as a small frown grace her face.
"Hi Clarity."
"Cheater."
She laughs "how I'm cheating?" Clarity shrugged.
"I don't know but you cheated." Nami closes her eyes as she chuckled.
"Yeah sure." Clarity pouts before sitting down next to Nami. She watches the others do their thing before speaking.
"I see everyone on this ship got stronger." A hum "you did too, Nami." Another hum. It was quiet for moment but it was just a moment.
"Thank you for the gift."
"What gift?"
"The pink seashell." Nami said, opening her eyes to stare at Clarity. The sun shining on golden mask "the one you gave me when I was on Weatheria."
A smirk
"How you know it was me?"
"Coral feather."
Clarity laugh, covering her mouth before speaking "curse those darn feathers." Nami laughs. Two girls laugh together before calming down. It became silent again as they enjoy each other presence until it was broken.
"Seriously though, thank you for the gift. I love it but most of all, thanks for checking up on me." The coral haired woman smiles softly.
"You're welcome."
"Also thanks for being for Luffy." Said boy laughs as he chases Chopper.
"I have to. I can't leave my twinkle star all by himself." She giggles a bit "It's kind of my job to protect the people I love and care. Making sure they're happy, feel safe and sound." Nami nods.
"That's good. I'm just glad you got me something for my birthday."
"Speaking of that, here you go."
"Huh?" Nami looks down and gasps. In Clarity's hand is a silver bracelet with small charms in shape of tangerine and seashells. But what made her gasp was the mini sculpture of her mom in orange crystals. Slowly sitting up, she continued to stare before slowly looking up at Clarity, who grins at her.
"Happy birthday, my sweet tangerine. I hope you like this gift."
Nami stares at Clarity in shock and speechless. No words were coming out but Clarity was patient as she let this process. Without thinking, Nami tackles the woman out of her chair and hugs her tight. Clarity groans before sitting up, and gently put down her gift.
"Nami be careful. You almost made me-"
Tears
Tears are she felt on her shoulder as she gasps silently "Nami… are you-"
"Thank you, Clarity… thank you so much." Nami smile, tears dripping down her face as she continued to hug her. Clarity blinks her eyes then slowly smiles. She then wraps her arms around the girl, nuzzling into her hair.
"You're welcome sweetheart."
AC: That was beautiful. I outdid myself.
Dusk: You sure did.
Eclipse: I love the wholesomeness at the end.
AC: Me too *looks at readers* well guys hope to see you soon later
