Nami yawned as she woke up in bed the next morning, she then felt Sanji roll over and wrap his arms around her, she smiled and closed her eyes a gain, "Good morning."

"Morning...why are you up so early...?" Sanji asked still not fully awake,

"I always get up this early."

"Mhmm..." he then laid his head on her shoulder, he then started to kiss her shoulder and then the crook of her neck. She just smiled and she held onto his hands which were around his waist. "have you ever thought of cutting your hair short again...?"

"No, why?"

"It's cute short..."

"Thanks," she then rolled over and faced him, "Speaking of haircuts have you looked in the mirror lately, your hair is really long and shaggy."

"Well normally Pudding would cut it for me...since she died I've been cutting my own hair ever since..." he said with a yawn,

"If you want I can cut it for you." Soon Nami's door busted open.

"Mom!" Shishi screamed, Nami sat up holding the blanket to cover her breasts, Sanji then jolted awake and sat up.

"Shishi!" She said, she looked over at Sanji then back to Shishi, "I can explain!" The entire ship was then filled with Shishi screaming. A few moments later Nami found her son huddled in the fettle position at the bottom of a barrel. "Shishi..." she said softly, "Are you okay?"

"...I cannot unsee what I saw just now..." Shishi said to himself, the memory then flashed back in his mind. Nami had gotten up to confront him, suddenly Sanji then did something causing the blanket on Nami to fall revealing her naked body. Sanji's eys turned to hearts and his nosebleed and he passed out on the bed. Shishi's eyes then widened in horror. Nami sighed.

"I'm sorry you had to see that."

"...the first girl I saw naked was my own mother...and then Sanji...he..." he flashed back to the memory, Shishi looked over at the bed, Sanji had gotten an erection. "...this is so wrong..."

Nami sighed, "I'm sorry. And this isn't how I wanted to tell you about Sanji and I."

"...o-oppai..."

Nami sighed, she then turned and went above deck where she ran into Robin. "Well?" Robin asked,

"I officially have broken my son."

"I'm sorry, must've been embarrassing."

"Extremely...and then Sanji being Sanji, he just laid there like a log all the blood in his body flowing from his nose and-"

"Wait, you and Sanji finally got together?"

"Mm." she nodded, "Happened yesterday."

Robin smiled, "Thank god, now I can get him off my back." Robin said with a laugh, Nami laughed too. "Hey, did Shishi tell you, he'd like to go back to Cheeseburg Island, he received a distress letter from a friend saying that Don Diego was invading."

"What?!" Nami groaned, "That's half a days trip from here."

"I don't know, but she seemed to be important to him. He got all...well long story short, he got the way Sanji gets around women."

"So you're saying my son has a crush?"

"It would appear so."

Nami groaned, "I swear, I do too much for the boy." She then turned to Milion who had been steering the ship lately, "Hey! Milion!" Milion looked down at Nami, "We need to turn around and go back to Cheeseburg Island.

"Yes Captain!" He said as he quickly turned the ship around heading back. It wasn't long before Carameil came up behind Milion.

"Hey." She said in almost a seductive manner, "I love seeing you pilot the ship." Milion just sighed, Carameil really really REALLY annoyed him. If she wanted to go out with him she should've just asked. "Maybe you can teach me some time?" He just sighed, "So...you're a man, and Pez, he's also a man. Do you know any manly secrets about each other?"

"No."

"Come on baby, tell me just one of your secrets, no matter the size of it."

"I don't think you can handle it."

"I can handle anything."

"Pez is your cousin." Carameil's eyes widened in shock and her face went pale. Carameil was now regretting her life choices, "His mom, Charlotte Chiffon, is your mom's, Charlotte Pudding, older sister." And with that Carameil was no longer attracted to Pez."And a secret about me is...I like dancing, so maybe some time you and me can go out to a club and dance together." he smirked and looked back at her, "If that's okay with you Carameil-Cha." She blushed heavily and steam shot out her ears.

"I-I-I...u-u-um..."

"Carameil, if you wanted to ask me out you should've done so. I like you too, but you don't have to be annoying about it and try to seduce me. Besides, even if you wanted to seduce me you are doing it all wrong." He then did some stuff to hold the wheel in place, he pat her head and then walked past her down to the deck. Carameil started to squee quietly and jump up and down slowly, she got faster and higher and her squee got louder. She ruffled her hair and leaned over the ledge and screamed at him,

"MILION! YOU'RE SO COOL!" He turned around and winked at her, she just blushed heavily and gave a goofy grin. Meanwhile Chopper was running a check up on Shishi as per Nami's orders.

"Hmmm," Chopper said using a stethoscope, "Hmmm." he then checked Shishi's pulse, "Eeee..." he frowned, "Wow...whatever Nami did to him really broke him." Chopper then turned to Sanji, "SANJI! I NEED A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER STAT! HOLD THE ONIONS AND DOUBLE THE PICKLES!" Sanji nodded and then rushed off to the kitchen. "Hopefully this works." Chopper thought to himself. It wasn't long before Sanji rushed out of the kitchen and handed the cheeseburger to Chopper. Chopper then took the cheeseburger and waved it in front of Shishi's nose. Shishi's nose twitched, suddenly he shot straight up, he grabbed the cheeseburger and quickly started to eat it. "Shishi! Are you okay?!" Chopper asked, Shishi looked to Chopper.

"Yeah, I'm fine, what happened?"

"Well..."Chopper paused,"Nevermind, it's not important. You fell asleep and didn't wake up is all."

"Hm, I must've been tired." He finished the cheeseburger and then went below deck. everyone sighed in relief, thank god for Shishi's denseness. Once Shishi got below deck he went over to the corner he called his room, he then found a letter in the bottom of his barrel, from the envelope color and the handwriting it wasn't from Hammy, and it definitely wasn't from Pinku. He picked it up and tore it open, he unfolded the paper, and a picture fell out, he grabbed the picture, it was of a woman. She had tan skin, blue eyes, prominent lips, silver lipstick, she also had wavy white hair that covered her left eye. Shishi thought she looked pretty, but this was really only her face and part of her bust, she was wearing a red dress. He put the picture aside and started to read the letter, "Shishi of Straw Hats...I am writing you this because I am very old and am dying and I need to..." he trailed off and continued to read in silence, he then froze and his hair stood up as he inhaled heavily through his nose. He looked up from the paper, "Charlotte Linlin sent me this letter!" he said to himself, "She's marrying off her children and I'm supposed to marry Smoothie!" He wasn't sure whether or not to be freaked out or flattered. From his knowledge of the Charlotte Family, there was a grand total of 85 of them! And Smoothie was the 14th! She was probably old as dirt by now!

"Hey Shishi." Pinku said walking up behind him. Shishi jumped and screamed, he quickly wadded up the paper and shoved it into his mouth, he turned and faced her and smiled. "You okay?"

"Mhmm!" He nodded,

"Okay, you were talking to yourself, so I wondered if you were okay."

"Mhmm!" He nodded again.

"Cool, well...I need to tell you something."

"Mm!" He held up one finger telling her wait a second, he turned and spat the paper into his barrel before he spun around and faced her, "What's up?"

"My dad...he called me, anyways, after we are done dealing with Don Diego...I need to go back."

"What why?!"

"It's just a family thing...I'm sorry...but," she smiled, "I'm really glad I was able to spend time with you on this adventure, it's honestly been so much fun getting to love you." She then paused and jumped, "KNOW YOU! I MEANT KNOW YOU!" Shishi just gave a laugh,

"It's been nice to get to know you too." He pat the top of her head, "Here," he took the gun out of his belt that she bought him, "Keep this, and whenever you use it, think of me." She took the gun and looked at it, she then looked at him.

"What did you mean...when you called me your sacred treasure?"

"It means I think you're a very good person. You're like a best friend."

"Oh...best friend...right...then why did you kiss me?"

"Well, I didn't kiss you on the lips, I kissed your cheek."

"Oh...yeah, of course how could I be so silly." She said with a smile, she hugged him, he then hugged her back. "I'm going to miss you..."

"I'm going to miss you too." He smiled and looked at her, "Don't worry, that spot for my Pirate Queen will always be open for you."

"Thanks." She said with a smile, "Anyways...I need to finish packing my stuff." She then turned and walked back to her room. As she walked away shishi felt sadness swell in his chest, tears nearly filled his eyes if he didn't fight them back. Thanks to Pinku he had some of the best moments of his life, from the Sakura Festival, to fighting enemies together, to even just plain old hanging out. He wanted to walk after her, he then looked around, he grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, he grabbed his Den Den Mushi and wrote down his contact information. He then turned and ran to Pinku's room, he burst in the door,

"Pinku!" She turned and looked at him with tears in her eyes, he frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she wiped her tears, "Just...upset."

"Oh," he frowned, he then handed her the paper, "Here, in case you need someone to talk to." Pinku smiled, she stood up, she then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him very lovingly. Shishi's eyes fluttered before he eventually closed them, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. Pinku then pulled away.

"I just...I thought, you give me so much, maybe I should start giving back."

"Oh..." She then took the paper from him, "Um...I really need to finish packing..."

"Oh! Right! Of course!" Shishi said as he turned and left the room. As soon as he did he touched his lips. What was that just now? He didn't know how or why he kissed back. He just did. He then walked to his sleeping space, he grabbed the letter from Linlin as well as the picture, on the bottom of the letter was her contact info. He sighed, he didn't want to upset Linlin and have her come after them. He then dialed in Smoothie's number and started to call her. Soon she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi! This is Shishi! I got a letter today about you!"

"Oh yes, you're Shishi of Straw Hats." A sigh was heard, "Nice to meet you, in Charlotte Smoothie."

"Pleasure to meet you!" He said with a smile, "I just thought I'd call and say hi!"

"Cool."

"Yeah." He smiled, "So anyways-"

"Listen, I'm busy. I'll call you later okay?"

"Oh...okay cool!"

"Bye." She then hung up. Shishi gave a soft smile.

"She seems nice." He then put his phone away and he placed the picture of Smoothie next to his phone. He then took the letter and took it to his mother. He walked over to her as she sat in a beach chair under an umbrella. "Um...mom?" Nami removed her sunglasses and looked up at him, she smiled.

"Hey, what's up?"

"I'm getting married!"

"..." Nami pauses, "Um...you're what?"

"Yep! See!" He handed her the letter, she took it and read through it. She grit her teeth and she clenched the letter tightly.

"That bitch..."

"You okay mom?"

"Yep! I'm fine! Never better! I'm happy for you!"

"Cool," he smiled and took the letter back, "Anyways, I called her and she seems like a nice person." He then turned and walked away. Nami frowned worried for her son, she knew just how terrible the Charlotte family could be. The last thing she wanted was for her son to be taken advantage of. She leaned back in the chair and put the sunglasses back on and she closed her eyes.

"Captain." Nami opened her eyes and saw Sanji with her favorite orange drink.

"Thanks." She took the drink then took a sip.

"You alright?"

"Never better...just concerned for my son is all."

"If you're talking about this morning then-"

"No, it's not that." She said cutting him off, "He received a letter from Charlotte Linlin."

"What?!"

"Mhmm," She rested the glasses on her forehead, "She's dying, as a result she is marrying off all her children in hope sto keep the Charlotte Family alive. Shishi is going to be marrying Smoothie."

"S-Smoothie?"

"Yep," Nami said, "Shishi doesn't know what he's getting into."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know yet...I just don't want him to get hurt."
