FFO: Maybe?

Luffy: Reed and Revuw!

Rocky Negotiations

Behind the rock, Robin got rice. "Robin," Nami informed, "a person like you would want to look intimidating at a time like this." Robin looked up from her rice at Nami as if to say 'And?' Nami thought it was no longer worth it and turned to Tashigi. Tashigi stared back at ever so elusive-looking Nami, and the not as intimidating, but just as powerful Robin. Then Nami burst out laughing. Tashigi was confused.

"Oh my gosh, Zoro is so up tight! Isn't he?" Nami joked.

"Yeah," Robin smirked, "that's why I do what I do sometimes, to get on his nerves."

"You can calm down. We're not going to hurt you." Nami said looking at Tashigi.

"What? Why?" Tashigi wondered.

"Didn't you just hear us, besides we wouldn't dare hurt a fellow woman." Nami stated.

"What are you talking about?" Tashigi asked

"Compare the number of important men with lines to the number of important women with lines." Robin mused.

"I see your point." Tashigi concluded. "So what are we doing behind this rock if you are not going to do anything to me?"

"Well, we are doing this to worry him more." Nami blurted out.

"Let me guess, you guys like worrying Zolo, don't you all?" Tashigi asked them.

"Yes." said Nami.

"Sometimes." said Robin. "He's the only other . . . how do I say this . . . cranial . . . no . . . tactical equal."

"Hey!" Nami retorted, "What about me?"

"Now, do you see why I choose my words carefully Tashigi? There's just no pleasing anyone now a days!" Robin sympathized. "You're a girl, you know like my best friend! You don't think I could make fun of Zoro with Zoro, do you?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Nami calmed down.

"You two . . . are . . . ridiculous!" she managed between fits of laughter.

"See, now isn't that better?" Nami comforted.

"Yeah, this is better." Tashigi started to relax.

"And don't worry Tashigi, your secrets safe with us." Robin stirred from under her hat.

"What are you talking about?" Tashigi queried, equivocally raising an eyebrow.

"Oh come on Tashigi, don't act like we don't kno-" she broke off as she looked down to find that the source of snoring was Robin sleeping "on the job". "She's asleep, again! Curse her and her western hat sleeping thing!"

"I've got it." Tashigi pulled out a marker and drew glasses, an evil mustache, and a pointy goatee on her face. "There that's better." They chuckled.

"You are a bad influence." Nami joked.

"Influence? Influence! Look who's talking! What is an influence?" Tashigi argued.

"I don't know, I heard her and Zolo say it once so I decided to use it!" she argued back.

"You guys don't think I'm awake do you? I'm going to wash this crap off my face and when I get back we're going to have serious talk young lady." Robin steamed.

"What are you, my mother?" Tashigi spit.

"Yes!" Robin threw back.

"Creepy thought!" Nami cowered. "Any way, where were we?"

"Um, what is my secret?" Tashigi was confused.

"Don't act like we don't know." Nami remembered.

"Yeah, we won't tell anyone that you like Zolo." Robin said wiping her face off as she came back.

"Thanks." Tashigi blushed.

"Girl power!" yelled Nami randomly.

"Shut up!" yelled Robin "I think we have been back here long enough."

"So, what are we going to do about Zolo?" Tashigi giggled.

"Well . . ." Robin started, "I'm going to hold your hands behind your back, and ask Luffy and Zolo if there's some way we can hold you-"

"Hostage!" Zolo yelled once they got back on the ship.

"Hostage? I love hostages!" Luffy popped up out of nowhere. "But not in that manner. Sanji cook up some food for our hostages!"

"Wow, hostages get food." Sanji sarcastically stated in a stunned toned, "I wonder what our non-hostages get."

"A punch in the face silly!" exclaimed an overexcited as he headed of with the cook to the kitchen. Tashigi struggled not to laugh and fall over.

"No. We are not having any hostages, none what so ever!" Zolo blasted "Especially none from the Navy! They . . . "

"Get you in trouble . . . " Robin moaned.

"Lock you in the slammer, blah, blah, blah . . . all that jazz . . . WE KNOW!" recited Nami.

"What were you doing behind that rock? Hair and nails?" Zolo angered.

"Oh yes, look at this manicure, I would never get nails like these is a normal salon." Robin advertised.

"ROBIN!" he screamed to the top of his lungs.

"Yes sir!" she saluted and marched behind him through a door.

"You can get off your knees and sit down now." Nami explained as she did so.

"That went . . ." Tashigi struggled.

"This will be interesting." Nami smirked.

From what she could see from the porthole, they were arguing. Back and forth they went from innocent to angry, from thoughtful to annoyed, from prideful to ignorance, kind of like a brother and sister arguing. Until she started to take off her hat. She looked as she were going to take out her guns and start a mutiny. I mean, in the pirate world these sort of things happened all the time. But this crew didn't look like they were going to start one any time soon. They survived this long without having to do it, between: Chopper starring up at the sky, Robin reading, Zolo exercising, Usopp inventing, Nami navigating, Sanji cooking, and Luffy . . . well Luffy just being himself was enough. Well, you get the picture.

"I hope she doesn't hurt him." Tashigi said in an anxious, yet thoughtful tone.

"Don't worry. She won-" Nami started until,

"I SEE THE NAVY! I SEE THE NAVY!" Usopp warned.

"I TOLD YOU SO!" Zoro argued up and down the deck.

"Why would they be here?" Nami questioned.

"They didn't trust me to actually go on a vacation!" Tashigi fumed.

FFO: Oh, I'm in trouble.

Robin: See, you made her worry.

Hina: Sorry I didn't know.

FFO: AAAHHH! help.

Hina: They bluff when they play cards.

Robin: Brilliant! We'll get them to play cards and you work on the next chapter.

FFO: OK. I'm safe.
