After Usopp had his great "detective moment", everyone found out why Luffy stole all the meat. Though the whereabouts of Luffy are still unclear, the crew decided to continue the search. The 4 teams split off in different directions from the kitchen and were still looking for Luffy, but no luck.
"As soon as I find that rubber idiot, he is going to be in so much trouble. I'm going to kick him so hard that his face is going to have an imprint of my shoe!" Sanji exclaimed
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't make him look like that! I would hate to have to see something like that every day." Usopp pleaded.
"I just don't understand how looking for meat can end up ruining the kitchen though." Sanji said.
"Maybe he got a lot of energy from eating the meat and needed to release some of it, so he decided to mess up the kitchen?" Usopp asked more than giving a statement.
"Why do I feel like that might actually be true?" Sanji said while sweat dropping.
As Sanji and Usopp are having their little conservation, the others are looking for Luffy. The search has continued for a while and everyone decided to regroup and discuss their next action phase.
"Has anyone found Luffy yet?" Nami said while patting Luffy's hat which was on top of her head. Everyone was looking at each other to see if anyone was going to say yes, but nobody spoke.
"Ok, well what places have we covered?" Nami said. Everyone soon responded and everyone was taking note. Zoro and Chopper had the check the men dormitory, Sanji and Usopp checked the kitchen (to see if Luffy was hiding in the cabinets), Brook and Franky had checked if he was in the infirmary, and Nami and Robin had checked the women dormitory.
"Ok, well that only leaves Usopp's Factory, the Observation room, the Bath House, the library, the aquarium room, and the energy room." Robin said. "There only a few more places he could be hiding."
"We should try to cover much ground as possible so I'll decide where everyone is going." Nami said
"Usopp, Sanji. You will go to the observation room" Nami said
"Yes, Nami-swaaaan!" Sanji said
"Brook and Franky, you will go to the aquarium room." Nami said
"If only you show me your panties. Yohohohoho!" Brook stated. Nami soon got mad and slapped him across the face and his skull started spinning on his spine.
"Anyway, Robin and I will check the Library and Chopper and Zoro will go che…"
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…." Nami soon looked around and found the source of the sound that interrupted her.
"Hey, hey, hey. Zoro, wake up before Nami kills you." Usopp said trying to save Zoro's life.
"Just leave him be. It really doesn't matter if he helps or not. We will still have enough people to find Luffy." Nami stated. "Chopper can go with Robin to the Library instead and I'll go alone to Usopp's factory." Everyone understood her directions and made way to their destination. Nami is going to Usopp's factory, Sanji and Usopp to the observation room, Brook and Franky to the aquarium room, and Robin and Chopper are going to the Library.
"Robin, what if Luffy isn't on the ship?" Chopper asked as he was roaming around the library.
"Worst case scenario." Robin said as she turned to look at Chopper. "While we are looking for him, he could be at sea drowning and pleading for his life."
"OH MY GOD! LUFFFY IS DEAD!" Chopper screamed with teary eyes.
"Calm down doctor. It not going to happen." Robin said
"Really?" Chopper said with cheerful face.
Robin started to giggle. "Yes, Chopper. Now we've already checked the library. Let's go check the bath house."
As Robin and Chopper were heading to the bath house, Sanji and Usopp were checking the Observation room.
"We've looked for him for quite a while now." Sanji said.
"I'm surprised he can hide for this long without being caught." Usopp laughed. "Usually when we are playing hide-n-seek, he is the first one to get caught because he can't stand still for more than 2 minutes."
"Well he better hope that he can stand still more than 2 minutes, because when I find him, he will face my fury!" Sanji said with burning eyes.
"Well it seems like he is not here." Usopp wondered. "This is starting to get annoying though. LUFFFY! WHERE ARE YOU!?"
Sanji patted Usopp on the back and started to light his cigarette. "Don't try to worry too much. Just save your breathe."
Everybody is still searching and Chopper just created a smart idea.
"Robin." Chopper started to poke at her leg. "Couldn't you use your devil fruit powers and find Luffy that way."
"Oh my." Robin said with a surprise. "I haven't thought about that. You are really smart Doctor Chopper." Chopper started swaying his hips back and forth and started having red cheeks.
"I'm not smart you dumbass!" Soon after Robin was using her powers all around the ship to go spot Luffy. She could see every room on the ship right. Soon enough she had found him.
"I found him. He in the energy room. Its dark in there but I can see his silhouette and I can hear him eating the meat (where the cola is used/stored for Coup de Burst). Sanji won't be too happy about this." Robin said.
"That's great that you found Luffy though. I'll start telling everybo…." Chopper tried to say but was interrupted by Robin.
"Wait." Robin said and she soon started to smirk. "It seems that Nami just got done looking in Usopp Factory and she is heading to the energy room right now."
"But we should at least let everybody know what happening right now." Chopper said
"Remember what Nami and I told you in the infirmary room?" Robin asked. "If we don't tell anybody, it will just be Nami and Luffy together in the energy room. ALONE. Besides, don't you want to see what I'm going to do to them?" Robin smirked
"Oh yea, now I remember!" Chopper said and soon he got a blush just thinking about Nami little secret. "But what are you going to do" Chopper said with curiosity.
"You'll see." She said with a devious smile.
"Usopp make some weird inventions." Nami said thinking out loud. "Well there is only a few more places that Luffy can hide." After she got done looking through Usopp's factory, she decided to look through the energy room since it isn't much of a big space. She was making her way to the other side of the deck until she had finally made it to the energy room and she opened the door.
"Wow, it is dark in here." Though it was still in the afternoon, the clouds were buckling the sun and no light was going through the door way. She decided to close the door shut that cold air doesn't get in the room. Once she did, she wanted to try to find the light switch so she placed her hands on the wall and started moving to the next side of the room until she would feel a light switch. Soon enough though, she had tripped on an object she couldn't see.
"What the hell was that?" She soon bent down and with one hand on the wall and the other on the floor, she was searching blindly on the floor with her hand until she could feel the object. When she soon felt the object, she grabbed it and picked herself back up.
Once she stood up, she started to rub the object and started to feel it to know what it is. A few seconds of investigating had past and she couldn't think of anything. The object felt smooth when you touched it at the top, but if you were to run down your fingers down to the other end, you could feel squishy bumps on the object.
She soon tried to figure out more clues on the object by feeling it since she couldn't see in the dark and found out it was probably as tall as the spine of a book but the shape was almost a cylinder. At both end of the object, the object will cave-in making it a U-shape. When she felt the bump on the object again, she tried picking at it with her finger nails and to her surprise, it came off and now it was in the palm of her hand.
She soon started to rub the bump of the object in her hand and couldn't help but think that she had felt it before.
"Is this food I'm holding?" Nami thought.
Curiosity enveloped her and she decided to put it in her mouth. When she was able to chew on it and get a taste of it, she knew exactly what it was.
"Meat." Nami said. "Luffy are you in here? I can't see in this dark." She didn't get a response so she decided to continue on searching for the light. As she was sliding her hands on the smooth surface of the wall she had felt something sticking out of the wall and instantly knew what it was.
"Finally, here is the light switch!" Nami said excitedly. She flicked the switch on and she had to cover her eyes with her arms to adjust to the new lighting. Finally when she got her senses back, she placed her arms back to her side, and was observing her surroundings.
Around the floor, you can see a few meat bones scattered around the room. Soon she looked at her hand and saw that the object that she couldn't see was a meat bone. She soon heard a noise and looked across the room and soon found the source. And that source was Luffy.
Luffy was in the corner of the room snoring while he was sleeping. He had his head back against the corner of the wall for support and had his legs crossed. He had one hand on his legs while you could see the other hand in a bag. Nami got curious in what was in the bag and she walked across the room.
She later saw that the bag had all the meat that was supposed to be for diner. Well the few that's left that is. She started to laugh because how the situation turned out to be.
"As usual, all you want is meat. How typical of you." Nami thought. "Sorry, Luffy, but as much as it pains me to hit you, it only fair." Nami was about to pick up her fist and hit Luffy on top of the head to wake him up, but what happened next was something that she had not expect.
As she was picking her hands that were near her waist, she somehow felt pushed by something/someone and she was face-to-face with Luffy. They were so close that their foreheads were touching and their lips were a few centimeters away from each other.
Nami couldn't comprehend on what was happening and she was blushing enormously and she couldn't stop herself from doing it. As she was still in place and trying to comprehend on what was happening, Luffy had woken from his sleep. Luffy was opening his eyes and was actually happy to who he was seeing.
"Yom, Nami." Luffy said with a smile. He started to laugh as Nami blush grew more and she decided to hit him.
"What the hell was that for?" Luffy said rubbing the bump on head.
"Cause, you startled me!" Nami said trying to make an excuse.
"Well that's dumb." Luffy said picking at his ear. After the comment was made, Nami hit Luffy on the head two more times and Luffy was yet again, rubbing the bump on his head.
"Anyway, you need to stand up though. I have to take you to everybody." Nami said.
"No, Nami, please don't. Everybody will get mad at me. Especially Sanji! He will kill me!" Luffy started to plead.
"Well what do you expect? You broke the rules." Nami said twirling Luffy straw hat on her finger, trying to concentrate on keeping it there. But she soon stopped when she didn't hear a response. She than placed the straw hat on her head, and saw that Luffy was blankly staring at her. She started to blush a little and was trying to ask Luffy something.
"Lu...Luffy, mum, why are you staring at me like that." Nami tried to say.
"Are you are dumb. I'm a pirate, I'm supposed to break the rules." Luffy said boldly as he was laughing. Nami forgot all about her blushing and she grew angry. Luffy stopped laughing as he felt something evil around him and the next thing he knew he saw Nami tried to punch him.
Trying to not get hit, he was dodging Nami's punches as she was continuing with the volley of punches (some people would say she using Luffy's Gatling gun technique) until she could get a hit on him. He started to laugh and was enjoying this. He started to tease Nami by sticking his tongue at her while bringing down his lower eyelid.
"Come on Nami! You're slow. You can't even hit me." Luffy teased.
"I will when you stop moving!" Nami said. Nami continued punching Luffy but Luffy was dodging it with ease. Luffy started laughing and Nami was starting to pant. When he saw this he stopped dodging and grabbed Nami's fist. While doing this (in one continuous motion) he spun her around until her back was facing him. With the hand that he grabbed, he had pulled her to his chest and grabbed both her hands.
Nami at first was confused but later was blushing at his sudden actions. Luffy leaned his head on the left side of Nami head and moved her hair all on the right side.
"Here, look, I'm going to teach on how to punch." Luffy said. He grabbed both her hands again and raised them up into a fighting position. He then spread her legs with his feet until her feet was in the right place. He then let go of her and went in front of her and went into a fighting position.
"You see," Luffy said, "This is the stance you're supposed to take when fighting. This helps make you punch fast and stronger. This will help you when you're trying to protect yourself" As he was talking he was moving his fist to Nami face extremely slow until it reached to tip of her nose and withdrew it back and did it again, and again. "See how I'm punching? Just like that. You try."
He soon got out of his fighting position and stood still with his hands by his side. Nami did the same thing when Luffy was lightly touching her nose with his punch. She did it a few times until she got comfortable.
"You see! Isn't that better!" Luffy said. "Ok, I'll give you another chance to punch..." and as Luffy was trying to continue to talk, Nami decided to punch him on the head.
"Owwww." Luffy exclaimed rubbing his head. "That hurt more than last time. I wasn't ready."
"What? I'm a pirate, I'm supposed to break the rules." Nami said teasingly as she was saying the same exact words as Luffy and trying to copy his voice. Luffy soon pouted and got mad knowing that she was right. Nami started to laugh at his reaction cause of his childish behavior.
A few minutes later, both Luffy and Nami could her footsteps coming close to the door. While Luffy was hiding near the corner of the room (knowing who is there by observation haki and trying to hide from them), Nami placed her ear on the door to hear who were the people carrying the footsteps. She was able to hear the conversation they were having and found out that it was Brook and Franky.
Nami sighed in relief knowing this whole "Luffy ate all the meat" crisis will be over soon and she was about to open the door when she was interrupted. From the corner of the other side of the room, Luffy had grabbed Nami by the hand (using his devil fruit powers) and was pulling her away from the door.
Nami was about to yell but Luffy soon wrapped one arm around both her wrist while his other hand covers her mouth. Nami knew he was doing this to not get in trouble but she knew everyone needed to know Luffy was here. So to get away, Nami bit into Luffy's hand with her mouth and was able to escape from Luffy's grasp.
Luffy had retracted his hands and was blowing on it, thinking that it will make his pain go away. Nami later walked to the door and was reaching to twist the door knob open. But there was a probably with that door knob. A door knob wasn't there.
Nami was utterly confused and baffled knowing that there was a door knob when she came in her. She soon heard a rolling sound on the floor and looked around only to see a broken door knob. Nami turned around to Luffy with suspicious eyes thinking he removed the door knob from the door but she knew that he didn't do it. Nami decided to just bang on the door and shout that Luffy was there to Brook and Franky, who were still currently walking to the door. She was about to when all of a sudden, she heard Robin on the speaker system.
"Nami is in that room, Brook and Franky, and she doesn't need any help." Robin saying as she can see the whole deck from the watch tower. "She doesn't need any help so just check one of the soldier dock system's room. This goes to everyone else to, once your done searching through your area, just head to the soldier dock system, and search through it with Franky and Brook."
Nami was confused on how Robin knew she was in here. When she finished searching Usopp Factory, she headed right her and try to tell anyone. There was no way Robin knew she was here. She started to bang on the door and was shouting Brook and Frank's names but she knew already that they were long gone.
Wanting to try to get the door open, she tried to push and shove the door open but there was no use. She ended up trying to kick the door off with her heel sandaled shoe, but the heel part of her sandal just broke off.
"Ouch! That one hard door." Nami said in pain. She than saw the broken heel and was mad. "My sandals broke! You damn door!" She kicked the door again with her other shoe only to end with another heel broken."
"Not the other one!" Nami exclaimed. Nami soon pouted feeling lost in defeat. She felt more dreadful for the fact that she lost to a door. She soon got the idea of making Luffy bust down the door and turned to Luffy with relief but it had seemed it just wasn't her day.
Cause of Luffy's narcolepsy, Luffy was sleeping soundly as a bear. It has seemed that Nami knew how to be in gear second, because she was steaming with anger. Nami had walked up to a sleeping Luffy while she was cracking her knuckles, ready to hit him on the top of his head.
But after all the work she has done today, she was getting sleepy and tired, Even though it was still early in the afternoon; everyone had searched for Luffy since early in the morning. Nami was especially exhausted because she had checked the same area she was in more than once because not the fact that he was in trouble, but in all honestly she was worried that something bad happened.
Nami just sighed and gave up. Not having the strength anymore, she decided to just sit on the wall close to Luffy. She decided to just try to get some rest and wait for someone to hopefully come get them. She turned to face Luffy and saw that he was sleeping with his head tilted to the side, his hands to the side, and his legs sticking straight out.
She just decided to sleep like that and just closed her eyes. But in a little while she gave an "humph" sound and started to move around. "How the hell can he sleep like this? It so uncomfortable and its hurting my neck." Nami thought.
She than decided to lie down and use her hands as a pillow. But yet again she was having issues. She got up on her knees and was thinking of a way of sleeping comfortably.
She started scanning around the room to see if she can use anything that she can sleep comfortably, but as she was scanning the room, she couldn't find anything to help with sleeping. But she did find a certain someone to sleep comfortably on. She than started to crawl to Luffy and she decided to snuggle her head onto Luffy shoulder, where Luffy head was on top of hers.
She started to giggle about this situation while placing his Straw Hat on top of his head. Not the fact about the situation she was in, which made her blush enormously, but the events that occurred last night at the previous island and this morning with Robin. "If you could see what is happening right now Robin, you probably start teasing me." She said to herself as she giggled.
But little did Nami knew Robin was using her devil-fruit powers from the Look-Out tower while everyone went to the soldier dock system to go find Luffy. "You are one sneaky girl." Robin said as she was laughing at what Nami was doing with Luffy. She also started recall from last night at the previous island and this morning.
A day ago at the previous island…
