A/N: This challenge is also one of my own. The next one won't be mine, and I promise to use more characters than just the Straw-hats.

Until next time, Lady Emzebel. :D

Edit: I simply cannot believe I missed a prompt. *facedesk* Here's presenting "Slap".

-----X3-----

Flustered

Chopper was hard pressed to keep his thoughts straight when the tall buxom brunette lowered him from her embrace to the floor again, ensuring that the little doctor felt every curve on the way down.

Girlfriend

Though she and Robin hardly told each other secrets, gave one another makeovers, or had gabfests late into the night, Nami could not deny she had found a damn good friend in the older woman.

Boyfriend

Usopp and Franky shared knowing grins as they watched Nami beat Luffy into a bloody pulp for worrying her before seizing his wrist and dragging him to see Chopper.

Conjoined

"How the shitting hell is it my fault, cook!?" roared the swordsman, irately rattling the handcuffs that bound him to the prissy chain smoking blonde.

Reflux

Shucking off handfuls of digestive slime from his badly stained overalls, Usopp wondered why man-eating plants always thought him to be a lesser threat, even with Kabuto in plain sight.

Central

Time and time again, there were those that wondered at Luffy's extraordinary ability to gather nakama around him, binding them tight with a bond of trust and love.

Princess

When Brook laid down his jacket in the puddle before Robin and offered her his bony hand, the archaeologist couldn't help but feel like royalty.

Tattoo

The entire crew scattered and fled as bellows of fury resounded from the bathhouse; it appeared that Zoro had recovered from his rum-induced hangover and already discovered his brand new permanent-marker body art.

Wicked

Usopp didn't even try to stop the nosebleed when Nami, sprawled across his bunk garbed in sinful black lace and red leather, beckoned him closer.

Flounder

Franky cursed as he raced along the beach, praying he'd make it in time as he watched Chopper's struggling form vanish beneath the waves.

Habitual

Brook had spent so long occupying his time in the Florian Triangle alone with humming that he no longer knew he was doing it until someone looked over and commented on the melancholy tune.

Spelunking

For fear of his life, Usopp didn't dare let a peep of laughter escape his lips; even if Zoro did look hilarious in yellow rubber boots and a hard hat topped with a flashlight.

Awake

When even the promise of a good strong cup of coffee couldn't tempt Robin out of bed, Franky resorted to good-natured tickling to rouse her from slumber.

Hug

Luffy was spontaneous to a fault and therefore it was only unexpected, not surprising, when he demanded a full-crew sleepover in the boys' cabin just so he could snuggle with all his nakama as they slept.

Kiss

The fevered pants and moans were obscenely loud in the empty galley, but Sanji found he just couldn't care less when Zoro reached up and pulled him down so their mouths could meet once again.

Slap

During the last argument they ever had, she'd left a stinging red handprint across his cheek before she burst into tears, kissed him senseless and begged his forgiveness.

Dread

Every spare moment she had was spent daydreaming of a well-muscled blonde with purple sunglasses, and, secretly, Vivi feared the day the government officials at the World Meeting in Mariejois declared that she could marry no other man than one also of royal blood.

Token

The cook was unbearably smug for the rest of the day after he swaggered away from the noblewoman, a frilly, perfumed kerchief clasped in his hand.

Wisp

The sniper observed Nami becoming increasingly irate with a strand of hair that kept falling in her eyes and he offered her a bobby pin before beating a hasty retreat, a blush colouring his dark cheeks.

Current

Zoro simply could not believe his eyes when his captain delicately nibbled around the dried fruit embedded in the cook's freshly-baked cookies.

Dress

As beautiful as Vivi's queenly attire was, King Kohza was dead-set on the opinion that it looked infinitively better strewn across the floor, preferably leading a trail that ended abruptly before the bed.

Summit

It figured that Gold Roger would be sadistic enough to put his legendary treasure at the highest point of the island—which had been hard enough to get to in the first place—or so Chopper thought as they began the arduous climb.

Parched

Though it was hard to see at first, Franky knew the cook really did care about him when, one scorching hot day, Sanji threw a bottle of cola at his head and told him to "lay-the-fuck-off working for a while!"

Downpour

Luffy had a hefty respect for storms, but it never changed his opinion that one of the most blissful moments in life was lounging on the Sunny's figurehead and tilting his head back to catch the raindrops on his tongue.

Musk

He almost leapt out of his skin in shock when his blue-haired princess, unannounced, wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and nuzzled his neck, claiming he "smelled good".

Rogue

"Ohmahgawd, you're like soooo baaaad," Sanji slurred as Zoro, also tipsy and sniggering uncontrollably, crawled into the crow's nest, several of the mikans filched from Nami's grove tumbling from his shirt.

Languid

Long lazy afternoons were the best, Luffy decided as he sprawled out on the grass with a grinning Brook and Chopper on either side.

Belated

He honestly thought he'd gotten away with the craftily disguised insult, until a shouted "Oi!" of comprehension and a furious blow to the head followed three minutes later.

Congenial

"I suppose it makes sense that all three of those perverts would have something else in common," Nami grumbled as Sanji started warbling in the galley with Franky and Brook accompanying him on violin and acoustic guitar.

Leap

Usopp had no clue where he was going to find the courage to clear the ever-widening gap in the crumbling bridge, until he suddenly found himself surrounded by nakama who accompanied him during the dizzying jump, laughing all the way.
