Chapter 6. Alabasta.


It was now three days since the crew left Drum and their new recruit was settling in nicely. Chopper started the day by giving Robin the all clear and telling her she could resume light duties and light training again. She still had a couple days of treatment left but her body had regained its strength sufficiently enough for basic workouts and fitness routines.

Robin never thought she would be happy to be able to train again but she was, she wanted to repay the crew for working so hard to get her the help she needed. Robin would be forever grateful and she was determined to put her all into it.

However, the women of the crew were currently lounging on deck enjoying the sun as it bathed Merry in its life giving Rays. The men of the crew were busy with their own tasks, Zoro was working out on deck as usual.

Sanji was bustling around in his kitchen and Chopper was making some new medicines and potions to stock his infirmary for when the crew would need them in the future.

Usopp was working on a few different things, ammo mainly but he had been asked by Nami if he could make a few things for the crew. He agreed since he couldn't train his fruit while on merry, she asked him to make some holsters and sheathes for their weapons.

Usopp had found loads of usable materials on wapols ship.

Luffy had been really sad he had to leave the cool ship behind but the crew had no idea how it worked nor did they have the numbers to man both vessels.

Usopp would make everything out of the leather he took from wapol for the required items. He had six sheathes, two new holsters for his revolvers and three staff holders to make so he decided to get started right away, turned out Usopp could do pretty much anything he turned his hand to.

After showing his 'clients' some designs based on what they asked for he got to work.

Luffy was doing his now regular painting and having fun with Marianne, they were both childlike so they were able to entertain eachother for long periods of time. Eventually he would get bored. 'Thump', the sound alerted the crew making everyone look in the direction it came from, Luffy was fast asleep and snoring away already.

The noise came from his head slamming against the railing, his neck was bent at a ninety degree angle as he slept peacefully. The entire crew burst out laughing, "that looks so uncomfortable" Vivi said as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Luffy never was one to worry about such trivialities like comfort" Nami joked.

The crew laughed harder at their unique leader, knowing he was truly a one off. Zoro walked over to his captain and nudged him with his boot making Luffy turn towards him in protest.

At this point Sanji exited the kitchen to see what the banging was. Zoro nudged Luffy with his boot again, it turned out to be a big mistake.

Luffy wrapped his arms around Zoro's legs in a vice grip to stop the swordsman from interrupting his slumber. Zoro could do nothing to pry his captains arms off as he shouted at him to let go.

Zoro then got a feeling in the pit of his stomach, a feeling he only got from one person. He raised his head slowly until he looked into the eyes of his enemy. His enemy returned the intensity but was smiling a wicked smile. " Dont you fucking dare!" he said in a cold dark tone. His enemy smiles wider. Zoro took one last look at his captain, "I hate you" he said to the peacefully sleeping captain.

Then there was silence as the crew waited to see what happened next. Sanji stepped to the side of the kitchen door as he cleared his throat, "Luffy, dinnertime" he said in a way too happy tone. Luffy's eyes opened and an immeasurably short time later Zoro's great adventure began. He bounced off every solid surface available as Luffy made his way to the kitchen, not even aware he was dragging his first mate along.

A chorus of 'crash, whack and smash' rang out as Zoro hit railings, steps, walls and as they entered the kitchen the sounds of pots and pans joined the symphony. "I'm gonna kill you swirlybrow!" he yelled.

Sanji took a final drag of his cigarette before throwing it in the ocean. He took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves as he turned to walk into the kitchen, 'worth it' he thought to himself, " what you say to me mosshead" he said out loud. "Sanji Meat!" was the only reply. Chopper used a lot of bandages on this day and got his first real taste of the craziness that attached itself to the Strawhat Pirates.

The day after normal training resumed, although it was clear that while Merry was a lovely ship they knew she was simply too small for their growing crew. Usopp even said it. They had nine people onboard now and space was minimal. They simply had to make do until they could make it to water seven and commission a new one, which was the original plan Nami had.

For now they trained the best they could. Squats, push ups, sit ups, weight sets and observation training with light sparring. Luffy was watching his crew work through the drills he set up for them, well he was mostly watching Nami who decided her and Robin would do their sets right infront of the captain.

Vivi was more reserved and chose to do her routines away from the eyes of the Captain with Betty helping her, not that she didn't enjoy his eyes on her, she did enjoy it but she was a princess with her home and kingdom on the verge of ruin. Robin had no such concerns after the chat she had with the navigator the previous day.

(flashback, last night)

Nami approached Robin after supper, most of the Strawhats were in bed so it was the perfect opportunity to discuss some things. " Robin can we have a have a chat please?" the navigator asked.

"Of course Nami-San, what would you like to talk about?" she replied.

"I think it's time we spoke about Luffy, your feelings towards him to be more accurate" the navigator said with a wry grin. Robin sighed as Nami grabbed her hand and led her to the Merrys bow, where the two could talk in private

Nami began, "I want to talk about how you feel about him Robin, it's clear you are developing feelings for him, before Robin could reply, be honest Robin, this is important and I dont want to mess it up" Nami finished.

Robin smiled at her younger friend, "Okay Nami, it is true I have started to develop feelings for captain, I try not to think about it as I respect you too much but hes just so..." Nami decided to help, " amazing, strong, ambitious, caring, funny, smoking hot etc etc... I get it Robin, I thought about this for years and I know him better than anyone. I knew women we met in the future would be as powerless as i was to resist him, how could they hes fire but his touch burns so nice".

Robin blushed slightly but Nami continued, "Luffy and I spoke about this before we started our journey and I decided I wouldn't keep him to myself, how could I stop the worlds most beautiful women from being able to taste the worlds hottest man?" both women chuckled at that statement.

"What I'm saying Robin is I have no reason to stop you from having a relationship with Luffy and being his second girlfriend but you must understand you will not be the last".

Robin took in what she was told before she realised something, "Nami you said second girlfriend but what about Betty?".

"Betty is not his girlfriend she is our lover Robin, you would be his second girlfriend which means she would be your lover too as we keep nothing from eachother. If you can accept that then there is nothing stopping you from being with him, only you can decide if it's something you are willing to do".

Robin again let all the information register, "I wouldn't even know how to approach him about it Nami, I've never done anything in regards to the opposite sex outside flirting for info" she said unsure of how to proceed. "Instincts Robin, you have great instincts so let them guide you. You will have to make him notice you as a woman, I can help you with that by talking to him and laying some of the groundwork but you have to show him you want him for it to work".

"I need to have a think about all this Nami-San" she replied.

"of course you do, it's very important we do this properly and there is no rush Robin. We need all our focus on Alabasta right now so you will have all the time you need and we can talk more about it after we finish ending Crocodiles plan. For now let's get to bed we have training early in the morning".

Robin stood and pulled Nami into a hug, "thank you Nami, you're an amazing woman and he is lucky to have you" she added. Nami smiled, " soon he will have two amazing women to satisfy" she giggled as Robin flushed at the thought as they made their way to the women's quarters.

(flashback ends)

The two beauties continued doing their squats with Robin following Nami's lead. "Luffy how is Robin doing, is she going deep enough or should she go deeper?" Nami asked causing Robin to blush furiously.

Robin could feel his eyes on her as he spoke, "She looks good, maybe a little deeper to stretch her out more" he replied without any idea what his words were doing to the beautiful archeologist. Nami giggled at her friends reaction.

"Next exercise is star jumps Robin" Nami instructed. 'You have to be kidding me' Robin thought. Nami wasn't kidding as she began doing her sets. Robin composed herself as she stood next to Nami and started her own sets.

Luffy watched Nami bouncing away with a little drool at the corner of his mouth.

Robin felt a tinge of disappointment as he hadnt looked at her, she closed her eyes but when she opened them again she felt his gaze on her, she looked up and noticed he was staring straight at her, a smile found it's way on to her face as he spoke. "Looking good Robin" he said making her instantly happier about herself.

She could sense Nami's amusement but chose not to acknowledge it. "Thank you captain" she said smiling.

The rest of the session went the same way as Nami worked Robin into a lather. As soon as they were done Nami dragged Robin into a much needed cold shower, which the beautiful archeologist was really grateful for, she really needed to cool down right now.

Luffy watched them leave for the shower and he noticed Robin seemed to have a bit more sway in her hips, he licked his lips as Nami looked over her shoulder and gave him a cheeky wink. He smiled as he thought of the brief exchange he had with Nami earlier. " If that's what Robin wants, that's what she will get. I hope shes ready for it" he said to himself with a mischievous grin.

Betty and Vivi finished their own routines and made their way to the women's quarters to shower and change.

After training the crew sat down and figured out their plan for Alabasta. Vivi wanted to stop the warring factions from fighting before taking care of Crocodile.

Luffy simply wanted to kick the warlords ass, the crew were powerless to stop him so they wouldn't even try. As long as they stuck to their tasks everything would work out fine, Luffy didn't care what anybody thought of him and he was a pirate so he did things his own way.

All that mattered was Vivi getting her life and kingdom back it mattered not how it happened.

The rest of the crew would go with Vivi to stop both sides from fighting, the accompanying strawhats would protect her and handle any trouble that came her way, Chopper would stay on the ship with Marianne. It would be another couple of days til they reached Alabasta.

Just shy of three days later the Going Merry was anchored off the coast of Alabasta after sailing up the Sandora river before Vivi told them they should go no further, Luffy and Nami would go straight to Crocodile while the rest went to the capital to stop the war.

Betty's team loaded up with as much water as they could carry without being slowed, utilizing shave to make the trip would take a little under half an hour. First they would go to the palace to make sure the king was alive and well, Then they would stop the kings forces from engaging the rebels. The strawhats would give a show of force to anybody who insisted on continuing the fight.

Nami had memorized Crocodiles bounty poster so she could warp straight to his location, Vivi told them it was named Rainbase. He would no doubt have his strongest number agents with him if he had any idea what was coming. Not a problem for the two monster teens.

Luffy gave the order to move out, Nami grabbed his hand and the pair vanished. At the same time the crew set off on their mission.

An instant later the two teens appeared infront of the warlord. He was sat in a comfy looking chair smoking a cigar, the smug grin on his face quickly faded as he registered their appearance.

At his side was a large toned tanned man with short white hair, he wore baggy grey pants tied at the waist covered by a white sash, he had a long black sleeveless overcoat with gold trim. He was a devil fruit eater, the dice dice fruit which enables him to turn any part of his body into steel blades. He was known as 'the killer' daz bones aka Mr 1. He was known to be very strong aswel as a master martial artist.

Mr 1 stood at crocodiles right, to his left was a beautiful woman with thick curly dark blue hair and the very definition of an hourglass figure. She stood an inch or two taller than Nami, her outfit was minimal and clearly designed to show off her chest, flat tummy and wide swinging hips. Nami looked her up and down before smiling, " she looks fun" she said. She was miss doublefinger partner of Mr1. She was also a devil fruit user, the spike spike fruit which enabled her to form spikes from or on any part of her body.

Nami noticed she was staring at Luffy before turning to face the orangette with a look on her face as if to say' hes tasty'. Nami smiled back as if to say ' you have no idea'.

Crocodile himself was unfazed by the intruders as he began to talk, " so you are strawhat Luffy eh!, you dont look like much to me maybe the unluckies were wrong about you" he said in a deep arrogant tone.

Luffy stood stone faced as he responded, " right back at you crocodick, let's not bother with the bullshit I'm not in the mood. You tried to destroy my friends kingdom and now you will pay the ultimate price".

Crocodile laughed at the cocky brat, " how did you become friends with a princess?, was she away looking for a knight in shining armour?" he mocked.

He was surprised by the reaction or rather the lack of one. He then turned towards Nami, " is this little bitch your girlfriend, she's cute and after I kill you maybe I will take her for myself, she would make a wonderful toy to play with". Right as he finished his face was destroyed by a punch neither he nor his two goons saw, he hit the wall behind him embedding into it as cracks stretched out from where he impacted.

Crocodile eventually dislodged himself from the wall before falling to one knee as blood poured from his mouth. It was clear some of the bones in his face were broken, teeth were missing too. He stood again determined to not show weakness to the two inferiors infront of him, "not bad kid but now I'm mad and you are about to see why I am a warlord" he said.

"Shishishi, you couldn't beat me in my sleep, so very best of luck with that ye" Luffy was the one to do the mocking this time.

Nami was already bored with Crocodile so she made her own plan. " Luffy I'm gonna go fight these two somewhere else, dont destroy this place ok?, Vivi could use this place as her HQ until she becomes queen. The revenue will help repair the damages caused to Alabasta's economy".

"Ok Nami, I wont destroy it, no promises about him though" he said pointing at Crocodile. Nami laughed, " you can destroy him as much as you want". She appeared at Miss doublefingers side and touched her shoulder causing her to vanish, she did the same to Mr1. "See you soon , love you" she said before she too was gone leaving Luffy and Crocodile to handle their business.

"Love you too, be careful" he replied, even though she already left.

That definitely shocked the warlord, "what the hell is going on mugiwara?, what games are you playing?!" he bellowed out clearly confused.

"Game?, I ain't playing no games Crocodile, I already told you why I'm here and what I will do before I leave. Nami just wanted to give us more privacy, shes nice like that you see, what happened is she took them somewhere she could destroy, you have no idea what she and the rest of my crew can do, Shishishi".

"You made a huge mistake Crocodile, your warlord status will not save you from me" he finished as he prepared to get things underway.

Back with Nami, she was stood infront of the confused agents, " I'd like to welcome you to the appropriately named fighters island, this is where me, my captain and brothers trained when we became too strong to fight on our home island. I dont have to hold back here".

Mr1 was the first to respond. "What makes you think a little girl can take on and defeat the two strongest of Baroque Works".

Nami simply laughed at him, " I dont think anything, I brought you here to beat both of you up and that is exactly what I'm gonna do, you wait there I'll deal with you next" she said as she glared at miss doublefinger. Miss doublefinger gulped at her words.

Mr1 then sped towards Nami before swinging his leg at her, she noticed his leg turn into some kind of blade just as Robin had explained it. She dropped low and did a simple leg sweep, it didn't reach him but the mini windblade it released did as it hit his ankle and severed his Achilles tendon partially.

He reared back before looking down at his ankle to assess the damage he knew it had done, he put his weight on it but quickly took the weight off. With just one attack the bitch had nullified his speed.

"You will pay for that!" he shouted as both his arms turned into blades, he brought them down in a scissor action aiming to slice her to ribbons.

Nami pulled out both her blades to block the attack while her arms bent to absorb the weight of his power. She smiled as he noticed her blades were seastone and his power was starting to drain. He jumped backwards using his good leg, creating distance between them but as he landed his face was planted in the ground by a Haki covered foot slamming into the top of his head.

Nami vanished once more and appeared with her arm draped over miss doublefinger's shoulder, "I must say I'm very disappointed, I though you two would at least be a challenge". Before miss doublefinger knew about it Mr1 was flying towards them with his fist aimed at Nami's head.

Unfortunately for doublefinger Nami was no longer there and she was directly in its path, she activated her abilities and two long spikes shot out from the bottom of her feet enabling her to avoid the blow from his steel blade covered fist.

She landed back on solid ground before turning to her partner "careful Mr1, you could have killed me then idiot" she scolded.

He turned to face her before laughing, " you really think I care about the life of a weakling such as you, whore?!" he spat at his now former associate.

She was shocked and devastated by what he said, 'did they ever care about me' she thought to herself. She then looked at Nami whose bangs were covering her eyes, her head low at what was just said by one supposed friend to the other. Turning on your friends was not acceptable by any measure, Mr1 had just sealed his fate.

Doublefinger was about to ask him wtf he was doing but took a blow to the back of her head, she saw stars and fell into unconsciousness. Nami caught her before she hit the ground, she lowered her down before gently laying her head on the sand. She was just another gullible woman screwed over by the people she thought she knew, who she thought were her friends.

Nami now had a vision of Robin in her mind constantly going through the same situations with everybody she met for twenty fucking years.

She stood back up and stared at Mr1 who smirked viciously at her, " that girl is the reality of this world, the weak are expendable while the strong survive and thrive" he said as he looked with disdain at his former partner even as she lay unconscious.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Nami screamed at the soon to be dead man. She grabbed her staff and extended it to its fullest, she used Shave to eliminate the distance between them. Her staff turned black before she made contact.

He raised a single arm oblivious to her Haki, said arm was snapped halfway up the forearm, "Aaarrrggghhh" he screamed out for the half second prior to the second strike he took. Nami's staff crashed into his ribs, shattering at least half a dozen to dust. Mr1 folded over and received the next blow, across his upper back and shoulder blades, he crashed into the sand upper body first.

He screamed again as the pain set in, after a few seconds he managed to raise himself up on his remaining good arm and tried to clear his swimming vision. His vision cleared but he quickly wished it hadn't as he came face to face with a She-Demon.

Fire raged in her eyes as she extended a single finger and placed it infront of his forehead, the finger nail just an inch away.

"She thought you were her friend. When you did what you just did to her you lose the right to ever make more, friends should only ever be cherished and protected" Nami said in a cold voice. "Shigan" she said as her finger shot forward and pierced straight through his skull into his brain, killing him instantly.

Nami removed her finger with a squelch and cleaned the blood off on the back of Mr1's coat, she grabbed him by his overcoat and dragged him to where miss doublefinger was. She dropped him in a heap before picking the unconscious beauty up and putting her over her shoulder. She stamped on Mr1's back before the three of them disappeared.

She arrived back at Luffy's side, "done already?" he asked his navigator. She smiled back but it faded fast, "yes, he tried to kill her and insulted her as she lay unconscious, so I saw no reason to let him live and do that to anybody else".

She then looked over at Crocodile, he had taken a beating but was still standing panting heavily, bleeding from various blows he had been subjected to. "I'm surprised hes still living" Nami said to her captain.

Luffy looked down at the dead body of the former number agent, noticing the hole at the centre of his forehead, clearly from shigan. Luffy searched her demeanor to make sure she was ok before asking her a question, "Did he piss you off that much?" he asked his beautiful navigator.

"yes, but it was the look on her face after he said and did what he did, she looked just like Robin when she thought we were cp9 and that we would kill her. Hopelessness and despair was all over her aura when he told her nobody cared about her" she answered.

"You gonna be ok?" he asked. "Yes I'll be fine, I'm gonna take her back to Merry so Chopper can keep an eye on her til this is over, then I'm gonna check on Vivi and the crew". she replied.

"Kick this fuckers ass for me too" she added before she turned to leave. "Will do, be with you shortly this guy is weak so he wont take long" he responded.

"Like hell I will let you leave" Crocodile shouted as he turned to sand and blasted towards Nami. He was millimetres away from piercing her with his hook but she simply disappeared.

"What the fuck?" Crocodile questioned not knowing how a teen girl moved around so effortlessly, appearing and disappearing before his eyes. He knew it must have been a devil fruit but the only person he had seen move in such a way was a marine Admiral. She was just a kid.

Luffy smirked at him before speaking "You are boring me now, shall we finish this you lowlife reptilian scumbag".

The warlord was enraged by the disrespect, everything he'd built, every plan he had made along with all the lives he took or ruined meant nothing anymore. Crocodile was consumed by his emotions, all that mattered to him now was killing this piece of shit that stood infront of him smiling at him.

"He really is something is he not, Crocodile" said a familiar voice.

Luffy knew she was there and so did Nami, she had been there the whole time.

Crocodile grinned thinking the scales had just tipped back in his favour, "Its about time you showed up, where the hell have you been Miss All Sunday?" he barked at his dependable partner.

Nico Robin smiled at the Warlord and former employer, "Having fun with my new friends Crocodile, what else would I be doing?" she tilted her head in mock confusion, Luffy style.

Luffy being the child he was couldn't hold his laughter as he rolled on the floor holding his belly. Robin joined him in his laughter, she still couldn't believe how carefree he was at times, even in the presence of a Warlord of the sea.

Crocodile was at a loss, he had no idea what was going on anymore. So on instinct he launched as fast as his body would allow at Robin ignoring his injuries from Luffy's beating, his hook was aimed directly at Robin's throat.

Robin's fledgling observation activated and she used Shave to the best of her ability to avoid the killing blow. she pulled out her knife from across her lower back and sliced him just below his ribs. He acted like he normally did before his knee hit the ground.

He was confused, nobody had been able to hurt him he was a logia afterall. Yet here he was bleeding as his power began to leave him. He had thrown his fur coat off shortly after his fight with Luffy began so the slash on his side was a good one, about six inch long and an inch deep. Robin could have just stabbed him but that was too easy and quick.

The seastone blade had the added effect of leaving particles of seastone in whatever it sliced, it seeped into his blood and could not be removed. Crocodile noticed her blade was green with a gold handle and everything made sense finally. He had no counter for that.

Luffy stood and watched as Crocodile using nothing more than willpower rose to his feet and charged Robin again, She did the same thing again using Shave to avoid his initial gold ring clad knuckles on his right hand but what she didn't anticipate was the hook on his other hand swinging round at the same time.

He caught her in a similar location she caught him, just below the ribs. "Aarrgghh" she screamed at the pain. His hit was nowhere near as clean as hers but the poison would soon begin to take affect and they both knew it.

Now it was a matter of time before she could no longer fight, she would need to end it soon. She continued to use Shave to stay just out of range and then rushing in with counter attacks, managing to land way more blows than he did. As her vision started to blur slightly it was time to end it.

Luffy could see that she was tiring, "you need to finish it Robin, times running out" Luffy told his archaeologist. She nodded as she sheathed her blade before pulling out her staff. She recognised she could hurt him with it now, she couldn't before because she didn't have armament yet. The seastone in his body had rendered his devil fruit useless so now she could damage him.

Robin turned to the shell of a man, grinning at him, "It looks like only one of us will be leaving this place alive you bastard, you will pay for what you tried to do to me!" she spat at him screaming the last part venomously.

She was too tired to use Shave but Crocodile was in a worse state, she moved towards him as he raised his arms in defence. She attacked him swinging her staff hard and fast over and over again not giving him a second to launch his own attacks but he was a beast physically so even minus his devil fruit he was hard to put down.

Robin was running on empty by now, only adrenaline kept her standing. Then it happened, she finally landed a blow to his head unaware that her staff glitched black at the point of contact, she didn't notice but Luffy certainly did as a smile found it's way onto his face.

Crocodile hit the ground hard as blood exploded from the top of his head as it smashed into the ground brutally, Robin panted hard as her vision swam once more. She retracted her staff and put it back in its holder and she pulled her blade out again, Robin stumbled over to the defeated warlord and put her knife to his throat, she looked at Luffy who nodded at her giving her the green light to finish it however she deemed necessary.

Robin was extremely tempted to kill him, she wanted to kill him for putting his hands on her. The point of her blade was digging into his throat and without realising she started to apply pressure as she closed her eyes.

She opened them a few seconds later noticing Crocodiles eyes had rolled to the back of his head and he was no longer conscious, "your not even worth killing, you can rot in impel down for the rest of your miserable life. If we ever meet again I will kill you" she said as she begrudgingly removed her knife from his throat.

She stood up and tried to walk to Luffy but her energy was gone and she began to fall but before her descent even commenced she felt strong hands wrap tightly around her waist and upper back, they pulled her in close.

"you are amazing Robin, you are exactly the kind of woman I want at my side" Luffy said softly in her ear. Robin looked in his eyes as he kissed her gently on the lips. She felt it, oh God did she feel it but she was just too tired, she felt the tingle linger on her lips as she slipped into peaceful unconsciousness.

Luffy smiled at his future Queen, she would join Nami in that position because just like Nami she never gave in. She was strong and Beautiful, ambitious and unrelenting, sexy and incredibly smart, way smarter than he would ever be.

Luffy adjusted his hold and wrapped his arms under her legs and round her back as her picked her up and held her tightly in a bridal carry. He called Nami and asked her to bring some seastone cuffs to restrain Crocodile.

She arrived a few seconds later and immediately began checking Robin over. Luffy told Nami to take them back to Merry so chopper could start work on treating her injuries and poisoning. Nami cuffed the battered and broken warlord, there was no way he could escape so they decided to leave him here for now and returned to merry before heading out to Vivi.

Not long after the two teens arrived at the palace, not before grabbing Crocodile. They were greeted by the rest of the crew minus Chopper and Robin. Vivi covered her mouth in shock when she saw what Luffy dropped infront of her. Vivi looked over the destroyed form of Crocodile assessing if the damage would suffice.

She looked at Luffy, a beautiful smile on her face but tears streaming down her cheeks, "Thank you Luffy, thank you for defeating this monster" she sobbed as she spoke, the realisation that her country was free slowly dawned on her.

Luffy surprised her with his response, "I didn't defeat him Vivi, Robin did. I cant tell you why because that is Robin's secret to tell not mine, she fought hard princess and not just for herself". Vivi actually smiled at the fact that she once considered Robin as his partner only to learn she was the one to take him down, " I will be sure to thank her, where is she anyway?" she asked.

Nami was the one to answer, "she is being treated by Chopper, shes pretty beat up. Crocodile managed to poison her with his hook too, we didn't want to waste a second getting her help".

Everybody had seen the state of the warlord and his number agents, an odd looking bunch who were in just as bad a shape as Crocodile with burn Mark's covering their bodies, clearly Usopps doing if the look on his face was an accurate indicator. Luffy chuckled at his sniper, 'so cool' ran through Luffys head.

Luffy approached the rebels, his crew flanking him on either side. "Vivi you have something to say right?" he asked without turning away from the rebels as his eyes burned through them.

Vivi stepped forward standing between Luffy and Nami, "Yes, I have a lot to say" she said before explaining everything that Crocodile had done to her country and the reasons behind it. Not one person could believe he had done all this for nothing other than military might.

Most of them felt shame take hold now they knew his reasons and methods, it was so blatantly obvious they couldn't accept that they had not seen the woods for the trees.

The leader of the rebels Kohza was the first to drop his weapon, the rest soon followed his lead after realising they had all been played off against eachother so easily and the fact they were about to go to war with the kingdoms ruler for the dreams of a madman.

A little while later the leaders of both forces sat down to talk and iron things out. Vivi began by showing them the files Nami had given her.

When Luffy and Nami took Robin back to Merry she had managed to tell Nami about a folder she kept hidden, inside was a detailed portfolio of Crocodiles activities in Alabasta, he was crooked to his bones. He would indeed go to jail for the rest of his life, would he ever recover fully?, nobody cared.

Armed with this new information the rebellion was ended and the new Alabasta Royal Army was formed with Pelle and Khoza its leaders. Once the meeting was over everyone started to return home or back to camp for the night, there was a lot of work to be done and it would start the following day.

Tonight they all had a lot to think about, mainly the fact they were one wrong word or one sword swing away from a national tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of people would be dead or maimed. Alabasta had a long rich history, a damning blight was avoided today.

They had resisted the world government for centuries but were nearly destroyed by one of its dogs, it was a bitter pill to swallow knowing everything the king and past rulers had done to keep their status and sovereignty was almost lost.

The Strawhats returned to Merry for the night, Marianne chose to stay with Vivi, she wanted to make up for her role in all the trouble even if her role was minute in the grand scheme of things. She was an unwitting pawn like the rest but she had been saved by the Strawhats, who offered her something she was not used to. Honesty.

The crew sat relaxing after the stressful day, they were eating and having a few well earned drinks. They felt better after Chopper updated them on Robin's condition, she would be fine but needed a few days of peaceful rest. The doctor ordered them to not disturb the archaeologist until he gave the go ahead, the crew all acknowledging his doctors order.

There was however another woman onboard that needed attention, she was now sat infront of a group of people she didn't know, a group of pirates that crushed a Warlord and his rebellion, not knowing what her fate would be. Nami had left her a change of clothes so she didn't have to wear the god awful outfit she was wearing.

They were all sat at the kitchen table, she was sat at the opposite end to Luffy sipping on a strong coffee with a splash of rum in it. When she woke up she was obviously pretty damn mad at what had happened to her. First she was nearly killed by Mr1, she was saved from her friend by her then enemy. How does one process that?.

She remembered Nami bringing her here so the doctor could check on her and keep her comfortable. "What happened to Mr1 ?" she asked Nami.

Nami looked at her, face stone cold "I killed him, for what he did and said to you, his supposed friend and partner" was all she said.

Zala smiled at the orangette, "Thank you" she said with tears in her eyes. Nami nodded and smiled at the blunette.

Luffy spoke next, " why dont you tell us about yourself?" he asked.

She nodded, "My name is Zala, Paula was a name I made up but grew to like it, I'm twenty six years old and until today I ran spiders cafe. A few years back I was struggling to make payments on my rent or utilities as i had always struggled to turn a profit. That was when Crocodile appeared and offered his financial support in return for my loyalty to his ambitions".

"He must have known I was a devil fruit user" as she said this spikes began to emerge from all over her body, showing them her powers. She continued on, "However, he took all the profits for himself and I was as broke as before. That is when he demanded I join Baroque Works, stating I would be able to keep the profit if I became one of his agents, my future was secured but at the cost of my freedom. I was born in Alabasta and had no ambition to leave, everything I had was in Alabasta".

The crew could see she had been trapped in a no win situation but none spoke, only listened to her story.

"Crocodile was a Warlord, so as long as I did what was required I would enjoy the same protections he did. We were wrong as it turns out, he was a tyrant who took whatever he wanted with no regard for the suffering of others or at least he was".

She smiled at the crew bowing her head she thanked them for stopping him, "Thank you, whoever took him down, thank you!"

"You can thank her when she wakes up and is feeling better" Luffy told her. "Nico Robin was the one to take him down, damn I always thought they had some kind of relationship" she replied.

The crew all laughed nervously, before Betty spoke. "Dont let her hear you say that Zala, she hated him for her own reasons, she said sombrely. That however is Robin's secret and only she can tell it" the vice Captain added.

Zala agreed with Betty's statement, she continued, "I ate my devil fruit twelve years ago, I knew what it was but not the power it would give me. I decided to eat it anyway in the hope it would make me stronger and able to protect myself in this harsh cruel world, its name is the spike spike fruit". She gave an explanation of her abilities and the ways it could be used.

It was a fruit that could be far more deadly with proper training, adding armament and rokushiki to such a fruit she would become a real monster. She looked great too, five foot ten inches tall with curves in all the right places.

She has a beautiful face with dark green eyes and thick full lips, her face was framed by thick curly dark blue hair. She had a very generous bust, small waist with wide flaring hips like Nami, she wasn't quite as toned and conditioned as the navigator but with sex appeal in abundance just like her.

Luffy was sure Nami was looking at her with naughty intentions, 'oh boy, was she looking to add another already' he thought to himself. How many girlfriends would try making a harem for her man?, it warmed his heart and his cheeks at the lengths she would go to just so he was happy.

Zala finished her story by saying "I also have a bounty so I could no longer stay in Alabasta as I would be hunted by marines for my part in Crocodiles operation. My bounty is Thirty Five million beri" she stated in a deflated tone.

"So you have nowhere to go huh?" Luffy asked, everybody knew where this would lead.

She shook her head at his question. He had one more to ask for now, "Tell me Zala do you have a dream?".

She steeled herself remembering what she had always wanted to do but was never able to. "Yes!, I love fashion and always dreamed of opening a high end boutique, my life never allowed me to achieve it though". The women present could definitely get behind that dream, they all loved fashion and designer labels and had large collections of designer clobber themselves.

Zoro stood and drew Wado from her scabbard, " My name is Roronoa Zoro and I will be the greatest swordsman this world has ever known, he stated proud as could be. Are you willing to train your ass off to grow stronger, to risk it all for your dreams Zala?" he asked the blunette.

She responded immediately and with confidence, " Yes!, I always did train when I could but running an all day cafe for a Warlord didn't leave much time for it, I did keep up my fitness though with morning workouts and yoga before opening the cafe".

Nami in her typical fashion said, "So you must be really flexible then Zala?" she asked/teased.

Zala however was not one to be teased, she knew the unspoken meaning of the question. "Yes, very flexible indeed" she returned Nami's naughty look making the navigator grin wide.

Luffy and the crew could only sweat drop at the interaction. The captain could only imagine Nami, Robin, Betty and Zala all doing yoga in minimal clothing as backs arched and asses lifted Skyhigh, sweat dripping off their tight bodies as they did yoga infront of him. He salivated at the thought.

Sanji made his way to the kitchen to busy his idle hands and wandering mind, he closed the door and dabbed the single drop of blood that dripped from his nose as his resolve almost failed him at the thought of these stunners all doing yoga.

Luffy had one final question for the blunette beauty as he stood at his end of the table, " Zala, would you like to join my crew and be a part of our crazy adventure?!".

She began to tear up instantly, she stood up on shaky legs, "Yes please, I would love to join you all and be part of this crew of not very piratey pirates". The crew laughed at her oh so accurate description of them, it was bang on as they were terrible pirates and they knew it. What they had done this very day was a perfect example of that.

"Welcome to the crew and your new home Zala, Everyone a toast to our new Nakama!" he declared.

"To new Nakama!" the crew said loudly but not too loudly as Chopper gave them all a stern look as if to remind them of Robin's current condition. His patients came first with no exceptions.

"Well it's getting late, I think it's time for bed, Zala you come with me I will get you a bed set up or you can sleep in the one Vivi was using, your choice" Nami said as she took the blunette's hand in her own. Zala's hand wrapping tightly around Nami's at the same time, Nami walked upto Luffy and gave him a long soft goodnight kiss.

Zala was speechless as Luffy reached out and stroked his thumb down her cheek before placing a chaste kiss where he stroked, " night ladies, sweet dreams" he said before Nami turned and led them to the ladies quarters followed by Betty who gave him her own little goodnight kiss.

"Luffy turned to his remaining crew, " I'm gonna spend a few minutes with Robin them I'm off to bed, Zoro can you do watch for tonight please?" he asked his first mate.

"Of course captain, just promise me I will get a good fight soon" he replied. "Dont worry Zoro where we are going they will all be good fights, you will get the action you crave, night Zoro" he said as he went into the infirmary. Zoro smiled as he made his way upto the crows nest.

Sanji and Usopp went to bed as Chopper entered the infirmary to do his final check on Robin for the day. As he walked in he noticed Luffy gripping Robin's hand as he struggled to stay awake. Chopper told him to go get some rest. Luffy stood and kissed Robin's forehead, "Stay strong Robin, night Chopper" were his last words as he left the infirmary and went to bed.


The morning came around. Sanji was already up preparing his ingredients for the days meals. He was up at four every morning to do his own workouts until six am, then he took a quick shower to freshen up and began his daily kitchen routine.

As the morning rolled on the crew started waking and undertook their own morning routines, showering and brushing teeth, skin care and beauty products etc.

Zoro was the first to enter the kitchen, " What slop you serving us this morning eyebrows?" he asked/jabbed.

Sanji turned to him with a broad smile on his face, " Bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns" he said still smiling.

Zoro wasn't happy his jibe had been ignored, "Why you so happy this morning?" he asked his nemesis.

"We just got another female Nakama on the crew Zoro, how could I be unhappy?, Zala-Chan is so beautiful" the blonde chirped happily.

Zoro was even more pissed now, first his jibe was ignored and then Sanji called him Zoro of all things. Sanji never called him Zoro, the green haired swordsman didn't know how to respond to the blonde being nice to him so he just shrugged, "Whatever" he said as he waited for the other drinking his Sake.

Chopper and Usopp were the next ones in. "Morning Zoro, morning Sanji" they said in turn. "Morning" Zoro grumbled. They were then completely taken aback, "Morning Gentlemen" Sanji said dancing around his domain. Usopp and Chopper stopped in their tracks before looking at Zoro then back to Sanji and finally to the empty seats where no women were seated.

"Eh!" they both said at the same time, "What happened to the usual, Usopp took on the form of Sanji, Touch anything before the ladies arrive and I will fillet the lot of you line?" he said pretending to blow smoke out.

Zoro grinned hoping the impression would dampen the cook's mood, " hes just happy there is another female on the crew that will never be interested in him" he said making the Sniper and Doctor laugh at him. Zoro frowned again when Sanji simply passed Usopp his oolong tea and chopper his mixed fruit juice.

Then three of the ladies entered. Betty followed by Zala with Nami bringing up the rear. They planned to go to spiders cafe but first they would have breakfast with the crew. Sanji served them all their morning drinks before twirling away.

The next person to enter was Nico Robin. She was heavily bandaged but Chopper told her she didn't need to stay in bed, she was not permitted to train or do strenuous activities though.

The crew immediately cheered in happiness as the archaeologist took her seat next to Nami. She smiled fondly at her Nakama as they did with her. "Thank you everyone, I must say it was worth this pain just to see the look on his face as I beat him, he didn't have the use of his fruit though so it feels a little hollow" she said.

"You didn't use your fruit Robin so it shouldn't feel completely hollow surely?" Betty replied. "It doesn't, I just wanted to hear someone else say it, fufufu" she said as she laughed.

"I wish we could have seen it Robin, bet you were awesome like the giants of Elbaf, Gababababa" Usopp joked making everyone laugh as he mimicked Brogy.

"Robin frowned slightly, " you wouldn't have enjoyed it I was covered in blood, mine and his but mostly his" she said in her usual dark tone. Usopp and Chopper reverted back to their usually terrified of Robin state.

"Glad your ok Robin, sounded like a close one, dont make us worried like that too often, ye" Zoro said with a grin knowing they would all do the same at every opportunity.

"I will try but no promises though, we do what we must Swordsman-san" She said in response. "Were just happy you are ok Robin, that's all that matters" Sanji added.

At that moment they heard it, the tell tale sounds of an incoming monster. The door slammed open and Luffy charged in looking worried. "Chopper Robin's not in her be... was all he managed before he saw her sat smiling at his concern. "Doctor-San told me I didn't need to stay in bed, so I decided to come have breakfast with my Nakama" she said to her Captain.

Luffy's frown turned upside down and he beamed at her before undergoing his morning routine. He walked round to Nami and kissed her as he stroked her hair, he moved round to Betty and gave her a kiss too.

He gave Zala a kiss on her cheek before he moved round to Robin. "Stand up" he asked her, she did and he leant down and kissed her softly on the lips, "I'm glad your ok Robin" he said as he peeled his lips from hers and hugged her, not too tight though as he could feel the Doctors eyes on him.

Sanji with his usual perfect timing walked round from his kitchen and breakfast was served, to the ladies. "You pigs can serve your damn selves" he said as he walked back into the kitchen to bring out more food. Smile still plastered on his face.

"That's more like it swirlybrow" Zoro laughed followed by the others.

When breakfast was over the crew decided to go to the palace to assist Vivi and the king in any way they could. Vivi however was waiting on the marines to come and collect Crocodile and his goons. They arrived at around nine thirty am. Led by Captain Smoker of all people.

Vivi explained what had happened with Crocodile and his nefarious plot to take over Alabasta, she handed them the folder Robin created detailing everything he had done since he arrived in the sandy kingdom. She told them it was the Strawhat pirates who had defeated him and his goons effortlessly but gave no additional information about where the crew were located only how they had saved Alabasta.

She told smoker she would be taking his bounty as reparations for his crimes against them. She was surprised to learn all the number agents had bounties. Mr1 had fifty million on his head and the number agents minus Mr1 collectively had one hundred and four million between them, add that to Crocodiles one hundred and fifty million for a total bounty haul of three hundred and four million beri.

Vivi stood open mouthed at the windfall Alabasta was just about to receive. The marines were not bothered about the defeat of the warlord, nor the fact his entire criminal empire was crushed for them, he was a war criminal now nothing more nothing less. The world government would not be so happy they now had to find a replacement.

The marines brought all the bounty money in three black cases and placed them at her feet. Smoker had some final words before leaving, " Next time you see Mugiwara, probably after we leave, tell him his and his crews bounties will follow very shortly".

After the marines left the island Vivi contacted Nami and insisted the Strawhats came to the palace. The crew got their things together and Nami warped them to the Royal palace.

When they arrived they found Vivi directing traffic, there was a lot of folk carrying out many different tasks. Even the ruling monarch King Cobra got his hands dirty-ish. Vivi had already contacted igaram and told him to make the necessary preparations for moving everything from Whisky peak to Alabasta and get their brewing facilities up and operational as fast as possible.

Vivi found a great location not even a mile from Rainbase, which would be renamed The Queens Casino with Rain dinners renamed The princess Playground and would be run by Vivi herself, she had huge plans for Alabasta including water purification stations to ensure they and everyone on the island had clear access to fresh water.

Vivi made a beeline straight for Robin, bowing gratefully and gracefully "Thank you Robin, I know you had your own reasons for doing what you did but it does not matter, you still defeated him and played a huge part in saving Alabasta, I'm forever in your debt".

She then hugged Robin " im glad you are okay too and im happy you have somewhere to call home, if anyone deserves it its you" she said as Robin returned the hug.

"Thank you princess, the reality is we both got lucky. We just happened to meet the same group of wonderful people at roughly the same time, I never thought it would turn out like this nor could I have factored in this outcome as a possibility, neither of us had much hope but you know as well as I do that hope follows the Strawhats around" Robin said.

"Agreed" Vivi finished before the two parted.

The next person to approach Vivi was Zala. She bowed low to Vivi "im so sorry for any pain or damage I caused in all this".

To her surprise Vivi crouched down and helped her back to her feet, "Nami already told me your situation on the mushi earlier, what he did to you was as unacceptable as what he did to Alabasta Zala, you are more than welcome to stay and continue running the cafe, if that's what you want?" Vivi said kindly.

Before Zala could even open her mouth Luffy was at her side, his arm draped round her shoulders, " Sorry princess but she is now a Strawhat, she will enjoy the protection of my crew and nobody will take advantage of her on my watch. She will be happy with us Vivi" Vivi smiled at him, " I know she will, I have no doubt" The princess said happily.

Vivi then got the attention of the crew, " Everyone can I have your attention please, I've got a few things I want to say to you all" she said as two guards brought out two black cases. This is your half of the collective bounties of Baroque Works" she said.

"Vivi there is well over a hundred million here" Nami said, "one hundred and fifty million to be precise And you are not leaving without it" she said poking the navigators forehead. "Is that clear Nami-San?".

Nami curtsied adding "Yes Ma'am, crystal". Earning a giggle from the gentle princess.

Vivi then moved on the the next topic, " Good, now I expect every last on of you to return tonight at seven pm, my father is throwing a party in your name. Make sure you all look a million beri, no sandals, no katana and definitely no explosions" she chuckled as she looked at Usopp shoving his shoulder.

"Make sure you all look as important as you are, Got it?" she asked like a headmistress over seeing detention.

"Sanji-kun can you come earlier please, your food is the best I've ever tasted, so i want everybody to taste it before you guys leave. Five pm sound good?".

"Sounds great Vivi-chan, Im used to cooking for Royalty, I'm not talking about you idiots either, I'm talking about Nami-San, Betty-chan, Robin-chwan, Zala-swaaaan and of course you Princess. You bums get what is left over from what I make them" he said grinning at his Male Nakama. They returned the grin.

"We will be here Vivi, just dont throw us in the dungeon if we dont meet your standards ok?" Nami joked.

"Good Good, now shoo you peasents, dont make me slash you all" Vivi finished with a devilish smile. The crew laughed at the princess before they took their leave. Turned out Vivi needed no help, she had a two million strong workforce all looking to atone for their actions and doubts.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp decided to spend a few hours training.

Usopp wanted to test his new ammo, he made some with just a little DNA in them, enough so they didn't kill, more of a deterrent but he also had some much more loaded ammo he wanted to try along with his new tube fed revolvers. He had much more room here than anywhere else they had been, his explosions here would just be moving sand around with no damage done.

Zoro wanted to work on his Armament aswel as tekkai and rankyaku. Sanji also wanted to work on his Haki along with Geppo and rankyaku. Luffy could and would facilitate them all at the same time. The last hour would be spent the usual way, a free for all where anything goes.

Nami, Betty, Robin and Zala went to spiders cafe so Zala could gather anything she wanted to take with her. She didn't have much but what she did have was a shit tonne of clothes, enough to rival Nami, well almost. Nami sent her clothes and possessions to merry, she already sent the bounty money off Vivi to her secret stash.

Next the four beauties went to where Robin had been living, Rainbase. The giant golden building was dead and so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A stark contrast from the bustling mecca it was just a day or two ago. It was a lovely suite but only held bad memories for Robin, she grabbed her clothes and a few other things including her treasure, her mothers journal.

Nami sent Robin's things back to Merry before deciding coffee and cakes would be their companions for the next couple hours. They could also help Zala feel more connected to the crew by getting to know her better and bring her upto speed on how the crew worked and how they trained.

After that it was time for shopping so they could purchase some knockout dresses for their party tonight, Nami had a plan for tonight that nobody else knew about. Tonight would be a very good night indeed for more than one reason.

Chopper had spent most of the day with the medical professionals of Alabasta, showing them new and more intricate medicines and treatments. He was surrounded by doctors with way more experience in the field of medicine, yet they hung on his every word. just knowing he was taught by Dr Kureha was enough to keep them interested.


At exactly five pm Sanji who was dressed in a white dinner suit with black shoes and tie approached Nami. "Nami-San, can you take me to the palace please, I dont want to keep Vivi waiting?" he asked. Nami grabbed Robin's hand and placed the other on Sanji's shoulder, they vanished without a trace.

The two females quickly dropped the cook off before vanishing once more.

Sanji entered the palace and was immediately taken to Vivi. They took a walk as they discussed the menu for tonight's party, it was a long list and Sanji only had two hours to prepare everything. Lesser Chefs would sweat at such a tight schedule but not Sanji, not when he had a princess to cook for.

Sanjicrook off his blazer and draped it over one arm and rolled his sleeves up, "Shall we get started then princess?", he asked. Vivi beamed at him, "Lets" she replied as she hooked her arm on the one he offered and led him to the palace kitchens.

Meanwhile, Nami and Robin didn't head back to merry right away. The two beauties were sat on the roof of a public house, Merry was just in view after they had moved her closer after Crocodiles defeat. " What's wrong Nami-San?" Robin asked her friend.

Nami smiled at her friend, "Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to talk to you about tonight. I think it would be a great opportunity to tell him how you feel, hes already showing you hes interested, especially with our up close and personal training sessions, haha. It's time for you to make your move Robin" Nami said in a mischievous tone.

"Fufu, he does seem to rather enjoy them doesn't he" the ravenette replied.

"So Robin here's the plans. We are going back to Merry and put on our new expensive and sexy as hell dresses and we go party. We dance and we drink and we have all manner of fun. With me so far?".

"I'm listening, carry on" she answered in her headmistress voice.

Nami giggled at her friend, she was so fucking hot when she did that, she didn't even know. "Good after we have our fun and things start to die down a little I will ask the DJ to play something slower, more romantic".

Robin was getting a little excited at what she thought/hoped Her friend was going to say.

Nami continued, "I will dance with him for, let's say three songs to get him in the mood. Make out a touch maybe grind him a little, you know how it works".

Robin nodded, "I do, I may have done some of those things before" she said forcing a giggle from Nami.

The orangette continued to explain her plan, " Then that's when you come sauntering over looking all fine and ask me if it would be possible to have the next dance with the handsome stranger. I will give him a kiss on the cheek, tell you to enjoy it and make my exit so you can get him even more worked up. A few dances later I will join you both and we will both work him over".

Before Robin could say a word Nami held a manicured nail to her lips and shook her head. "Not yet, I'm just getting to the good part" she whispered.

Robin tried to swallow her laughter and barely managed to do so. "After the party we leave and head towards our room prepared by Vivi, where Luffy will be waiting to give you the best night of your life as we give him his, dont worry about the crew as we can thank Betty in the morning".

Nami finished her plan and looked at Robin. "Well, what do you think Robin?. You know why he wont make the first move, he already knows about how you feel but you have to take the initiative".

Robin sighed, "I know Nami, I'm just scared of messing it up. I dont want to lose what I've only just found" she said.

It was Nami's turn to sigh, "That's totally understandable Robin but dont forget the little kisses he has been giving you, it's his way of showing hes comfortable with you. He wants this. He wants Nico Robin on his arm and in his bed" she said as a little smile formed on Robin's visage.

"You dont have to do it like this Robin, you can approach it how you want to, this is about you not me. If I'm honest, I really want to see you two together in an intimate way. It's something I like doing, I enjoy watching him with Betty and I'd enjoy it a lot watching you two" she finished.

"The plan sounds great Nami, very exciting too and I know it would be a wonderful experience. It's just new to me that's all, using sexuality for information is one thing, using sexuality for romantic purposes is completely different" Robin said.

Nami smiled her understanding, "Tell you what, I will do my part of the plan. If you dont want to do it then we can just have a dance and a flirt, no pressure. Just know this, once he sees you in that dress he will be dying to RIP it off you" she said as Robin turned crimson.

There preparation time was running out so Nami decided they should start getting ready. "come on, let's go make ourselves irresistable we only have a little under two hours to get ready. Vivi will kill us if were late". Nami took Robin's hand, a second later they were on the Going Merry.

Luffy walked over to them, "What you two been upto then?" he asked his Nakama. Nami and Robin both smiled broadly at him, "we just had a chat about the party" Robin told him. "The after party too" Nami added winking at him in the process, she then pulle Robin into the ladies quarters where Betty and Zala were already doing make up and hair.

Luffy stood on deck thinking about tonight, 'I promise I'll be gentle Robin, it is your first time. The second time I wont be so gentle'. He smirked as he felt the anticipation rise. He then walked into the mens room to see what Nami had picked out for him to wear. He picked it up and looked it over. "This will do nicely" he said to himself as he entered the shower.
