Chapter 2

Tekiya Torrikusuta

Nami and Luffy turned around instantaneously. Standing there was a girl who looked to be around twenty years old. She had her black hair tied in a pony tail and her bangs were on either side of her face, her bangs length reached to the tip of her nose. She wore a black tank top, white cargo shorts that stopped just after her knees and a white cap, the caps peak was facing the same direction as her back.

Nami immediately noticed a tattoo of a crown encircling her right arm, just above her wrist. 'What would someone like her be doing here?' Nami asked her self.

"My names Luffy!" Luffy said to the stranger while also interrupting Nami's thoughts. "Yeah I know." The girl said casually. "Huh?" Luffy said, puzzled by her statement. "You already know me?" Luffy asked. Nami was eyeing to girl suspiciously. "I wouldn't say know. I've seen your wanted poster before." The girl said.

"How's that possible? This town doesn't have any new bounty posters from this year, well more like decade." Nami said questioning the girl. "Unlike most of the people on this island I actually travel around." The girl said calmly, as if sensing Nami's suspicions. Luffy quickly noticing the tension building between the two girls, asks the mysterious girl her name.

"My name? Oh yeah, sorry I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tekiya Torikkusuta. My friends call me Tori for short." Tori smiled at Nami and Luffy. "Alright, Tekiya-san we should probably get going now." Nami said while practically dragging Luffy to get him to follow her. Tori frowned at Nami's use of her name. "You can call me Tori, ya know?" Tori said to Nami who was walking away with Luffy. Luffy was currently waving and smiling at Tori as Nami dragged him behind her.

"Oh there's no need Tekiya-san since we will probably never meet again. Thank-you for saving us!" Nami said without even turning around as she kept walking. "Right now you guys are walking to your doom!" Tori had to shout at them because they were already on the next roof. Nami stopped and turned around to face Tori. Luffy had stopped waving and his eyes were full of questions looking for answers.

"What are you talking about Tori?" Luffy shouted across the rooftop. Nami frowned at Luffy trusting her word so easily. Then they heard Tori shout back. "This isn't exactly the best place to talk about it. Come follow me and I'll lead you to my place." Luffy looked at Nami, silently asking if it was ok to follow this girl. Nami sighed and nodded her head. The two began to follow this stranger.

They continued walking along the rooftops. Using Luffy's rubber abilities to carry them across to rooftops they couldn't jump to. Tori explained that the smoke bomb had worn a while ago and that the Marines would probably be searching the streets for them and their friends. Luffy and Nami had protested loudly saying that they should be looking for their friends but Tori yelled at them saying they would be useless to their friends if the Marines saw them. Luffy had said he had taken care of Marine soldiers hundreds of times before but Tori told him yet again it would be useless. She said she would explain when they reached her home.

Nami noticed that they were heading to a very grubby part of the town. That was saying a lot considering that the town square was grubby but this place was very dirty. The air was very smoky and the street walls were gray from the dirt that had collected on the walls. The people that walked the side walks below them were very poor looking. They wore rags and dirty clothes. Finally Tori stopped in front of a big building that seemed to be a apartment complex. She smiled and said "Welcome to my home."

"Woah! You live in that entire building!" Luffy exclaimed in amazement. The building wasn't that better looking than the rest of the buildings there. Nami and Tori just sweat dropped. "umm no. I live in one of the apartments." Tori said. "Awwww!" Luffy said, clearly disappointed.

"So I guess we should go done to the streets now to get in there." Nami said with a sigh. "No we don't. We can just get Luffy to stretch over to that balcony and walk on his back." Tori said while pointing to one of the apartments balconies. Nami and Tori then looked at Luffy expectantly. Luffy just stood there staring back. "Luffy?" Nami said. "Yeah Nami?" He replied. "Mind taking us over to that balcony?" Nami asked once more. Luffy smiled and said "Sure!"

When they reached Tori's apartment, Nami looked at the apartment in amazement. It was so ordinary. A bit bare but ordinary none the less. In the living room which was connected to the kitchen, there was a couch and one love seat with a small table separating the chairs. Nami wondered to herself. 'Why would someone with that tattoo , live like this?'

Nami also saw three doors. Two of them were closed and one was opened. The one that was opened was the bathroom.

Just then Luffy's stomach growled. "Oi, Tori can I have some food?" Luffy asked with a grin on his face, making it impossible to refuse him. Tori said yes of course, to bad she didn't know the size his stomach.

"So are you going to me why we shouldn't look for our friends?" Nami asked with venom in her voice. She didn't trust Tori because of the way she had the mysterious aura around her and of course that tattoo. Tori nodded then asked Nami to sit on the couch. Nami did as she was asked. Tori sat in the love seat.

" Did you happen to notice a Marine boat in the docks?" Tori asked Nami. "meah! Mumi nuticef ims gebore!" Luffy said while chewing on his food. "Eh?" Nami and Tori said simultaneously. Luffy swallowed and repeated. "Yeah! Nami noticed that before! Right, Nami?" Luffy said looking at her. Nami was a bit surprised. 'Luffy actually remembered what I had said?' Nami asked herself.

"Yeah. I had been planning on scouting around the ship." Nami said cautiously. Nami was thinking about how much she should tell Tori incase she couldn't be trusted. "That wasn't your brightest moment was it?" Tori said casually. "Hey Nami is really smart all the time!" Luffy said angrily at Tori. Nami who was angered by Tori's sarcastic remark didn't let it show. "What do you mean by that?" Nami asked. Tori looked at Nami and said "Do you even now who commands that ship?" Nami then replied "No. Who commands it?" Tori gave out a low chuckle. "Only one of the Governments most deadly admirals. Rumors are that she would have been a Shichibukai if she had been a pirate before joining the Marines." Tori said with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"No problem, I could so kick this admirals butt any time."Luffy said confidently. Tori only chuckled Luffy's response. "Let me tell you the main points that the admiral is one of the most dangerous beings you'll ever meet. First of all she's a downright genius. She has outsmarted the smartest pirates that the sea has to offer. Her navigational skills are at John Saidai's level. Maybe even better. Second she's a downright killer. At first she may look like a ordinary person but what ever you do never make that calm smile of hers turn into a frown. You will never want fight her. Also she loves to toy with her enemies. " Tori said seriously. The look in Tori's eye was starting to scare Nami a bit.

Nami then asked. "From sounds of it she just sounds really smart. What makes her a dangerous fighter?" Luffy raised his hand saying "I have a question to! Pick me !" Tori sweat dropped. "Ok Luffy what is it?" Luffy then said "John Saidai was Gold Rogers navigator would that make him the best, right?" Tori replied. "Yeah I guess unless the ad-" Tori was then cut off by Luffy. "Nami since I'm going to be Pirate King that means you're the best navigator!" Luffy said excitedly to Nami with a huge grin on his face. Nami only smiled at Luffy's statement.

"Pirate King? Does that mean you two are together?" Tori asked whle pointing a finger at the two. "What!?" Nami and Luffy said simultaneously with small blushes across their faces. Tori then said "Well you can't be the Pirate King if your not married. So you would have to be the Pirate Prince." Tori stated. Luffy was thinking about her words. Then he said "Prince? That's no good, I want to be the Pirate King!" Luffy said then he muttered. "Now I have to find a girl to marry." Tori sweat dropped once more. "You make getting married sound like torture." Tori said. Then Luffy talked again. "That's cause it is! You have to find some girl to marry then you have to spend the rest of your life with that person."

Nami's right fist pounded gently on Luffy's head and said "Moron, its only bad if you marry someone you don't love." Luffy only argued more "But it's impossible to find someone you love and get them to marry you! Look at Sanji!" Tori then said. "Actually the person you love is usually closer than you think." Nami and Luffy just stared at Tori. Tori getting nervous with them staring at her decided to change the subject.

"Now about your question Nami. The admiral is dangerous because she carrys around a cursed spear. People say that she gather two cursed swords and made the blade of her spear with them. Nobody knows the exact effect that those blades have just that she has never lost a battle before. She also has the skills of a master when it comes to staffs and spears." Tori stated.

"Woah! She does sound strong!" Luffy said with amazement. Nami frowned and then said. "Luffy theres no point in getting excited about a pack of lies." Tori frowned. She had noticed the countless looks this girl had sent her and it was not helping her temper. "What makes you say what I've told is lies?" Tori glared at Nami. Nami returned the glare and said "I have enough experience to know that trusting a thief's words can lead to some very bad situations." Tori smirked "Well, Nami-san do you have any proof to these accusations?" Nami eyes opened wide in surprise. She had never introduced her self. But that shock quickly faded away when she realized that Tori could have just seen her bounty poster before like with Luffy.

"So you've seen my poster have you?" Nami said. Tori only smirked right back. "Yes but I've known about you for four years now besides your not answering my question Nami-san." This time Nami was really surprised. 'How did she know my name before my poster came out' Nami thought. Nami calmed down thinking that Tori was just lying more. "Haha" Nami said sarcastically "You had me there for a minute. The reason why I know that you're a thief is that you have the tattoo of the Shadow Crown." Tori smiled and said "So you recognized the tattoo but if you had looked closer you would have realized that the red line through middle symbolizes that I have quit the group."

Luffy who was seriously confused now, spoke out. "What is the Shadow Crown?" Nami answered Luffy. "The Shadow Crown is just a cult of secret thieves and spies. That tattoo shows that who ever has it is a member. Very few people outside the group know about it. Oh and one little red line doesn't mean that your out of the group." Nami glared at Tori. Tori chuckled with that undying smirk upon her face. "Your wrong about one thing. Only people in the group know about the tattoo." Tori smiled at Nami's shocked expression. Then she said sarcastically mimicking Nami. " Oh and just because you don't have the tattoo doesn't mean that your not a member." Nami still shocked had said nothing. Tori then said " Just because you don't think of your self as one of them doesn't mean they think the same of you."

"Stop it!" Luffy yelled at Tori. His eyes were full of anger. He then through a punch at Tori. It made contact with her right cheek bone, sending her from her chair into the wall behind her. "Don't you ever say anything that upsets my navigator again or I'll kill you!" He yelled at Tori. Tori on the other hand didn't seem that hurt from being punched or slammed into the wall. Tori just stared as Luffy began to approach her. Her hands were twitching. Twitching in excitement but only she knew that.

"Luffy stop!" Nami shouted at him. Luffy turned around the hate from his eyes gone as he looked at Nami. "It was my fault I egged her on to saying those things Luffy and besides she's probably right." Tori then stood up and dusted her self off. "It's my fault to I shouldn't have given into your egging on. I'm sorry." Tori held her hand up to Nami who was also standing up. 'Oh yeah way to blame it on your self' Nami thought a bit angrily but she did shake Tori's hand and apologise.

Now it was just awkward silence. Luffy yawned. Nami looked outside the balcony. It was sunset and everyone was tired. Nami then said they had better get back to the ship. Tori then said that was bad idea because the Marines were probably guarding the ship waiting for them and that their friends probably would have gotten shelter somewhere else.

"Well where do we sleep?" Nami asked. Tori pointed to one of the closed doors and said there. Luffy and Nami both walked into the room. Nami said there's only one bed. Tori said share. Luffy and Nami blushed. Tori said it was either the bed or the cold floor.

"Oh Nami you can borrow some of my clothes to wear to bed." Tori said. Nami then went into Tori's bedroom with Tori. Luffy then stripped of his red vest and sandals. He placed his hat onto the bedpost. Then he climbed into the bed and rested his head on his pillow. He had to wait until Nami came in and switched off the light.

When Nami did come in Luffy was paralyzed at the site of her. She was wearing some baggy gray sweat pants and a white t-shirt that stopped just below her belly button, giving Luffy a nice view of her waist. Her hair was tied up in cute piggy tails making Nami look adorable. Ok sure the clothes weren't that great but Nami sure was. At least that's what Luffy thought. He could feel a blush rising to his face no matter how hard he tried to stop it.

Nami had seen Luffy's reaction and only smirked. Nami flicked off the switch that sent the room into darkness. Nami then climbed into the bed. She was on the other side of the bed. Nami looked across to Luffy. She saw the outline of his chest and the sheets. Wait!? CHEST!? Nami thought. She had no idea why she was getting so worked up at the site of Luffy's chest. She had seen it tons off times before but that was usually when he was fighting. Now they were alone in a room. More specifically alone in a bed with Nami staring at Luffy's chest. 'Dammit stop staring' Nami told herself. But no matter what Nami couldn't bring her self to stop staring. Finally Nami moved her view to the ceiling but all she could think about was Luffy without his vest.

When Luffy felt the opposite side of the bed creak, he face turned as red as a tomato. He turned and looked at Nami's side. He could see her the outline of her body. First her head then her..chest.. And finally the blanket. Luffy stared at the ceiling trying to get rid of the image of Nami in a bathing suit. To bad it didn't work.

'Now how am I going to get to sleep?' The captain and the navigator thought.

End of Chapter 2

Authors Note: Oh yeah I know I made Tori seem kind of bitchy but she was getting really mad at Nami so she just lost control for a while. Sorry if there isn't enough LuNa in this chapter. I'll explian Nami's connection with the Shadow Crown group in the next chapter. If your one of those people who thinks Luffy is a complete moron, I'm sorry but I don't believe that and that this fic wont have Luffy acting like a complete moron. Luffy isn't stupid but he isn't that smart. I think he just childish and he is very empathetic. So please Read and Review I would love Constructive Critism! Remember I only update if I get at least 3 reviews per chapter!
