Chapter 3

Finding 2 Nakamas Yet Losing 2 Nakamas

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Outside the Restaurant

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The young guy after finishing his 15th serving walked out of the restaurant, the quantity of what he ate can't compare to the amount he normally had but it will do since he knows he can't spend all his Beli on food. Once they set sail he can fish and eat as much as he can for free.

'Looks like it's time to go back' He hadn't told anyone he went to explore the city besides Jinbei and Buggy, he had told the fishman he wanted some time alone and as for the blue haired man he saw Luffy sneaking off the ship so in exchange for his silence he made him run some errand which include buying cosmetics.

'So he wears cosmetic product for woman!? I thought it was all paint...' He shrugged when Buggy defensively told him he wouldn't understand this type of art.

This is the first time in months of fighting off both pirates and marines that the group landed on an island and had stayed there for almost a week, because of ship repairs.

As he trudged on the sidewalk of the city he felt longing for a long nosed sharp shooter on his right side and a wide, starry eyed blue nosed creature walking on his other side. All three going off ahead the rest of the crew to explore the unknowns, the youngster shook his head to erased the memory 'those times and childish play has already passed'.

"Luffy!"

He turned around at the sound of his name as an orange haired young woman run up to him, his eyes widened at the sight but it soon vanished replaced by a blank look.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Not one but she found two, isn't this her lucky day!??

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Nami grabbed into Luffy's arm with a merry expression on her faced. She couldn't believed it, not only did she met up with Chopper but she also found their captain.

'Maybe we don't need to go back to Saboady, Thousand Sunny together with the rest of the crew are probably here as well!' were her joyous thoughts.

'Ah! Is that why Chopper was mad at me because I failed to go back at the promi…sed…ti…me…' her blissful thinking was cut short as her mind registered the expressionless faced of her captain.

Letting go of his arm she frowned at him "Hey! What's wrong with you?"

'Are they sulking because I didn't show up after three days when we all got separated?' She was disheartened that Luffy and Chopper didn't match her merriment upon seeing each other because they were mad at her.

His blank expression was replaced by a frown, as a mixture of surprised and confusion played on his faced.

"Nothing is wrong with me."

A few moment of silenced passed between them.

He then grinned.

"It's good to see you."

He snickered "Looks like you manage to stay alive."

"Hahaha! it's no surprise! You were part of my crew after all." He beamed showing his white teeth, crossing his arms on his chest.

She smiled, relieved that her captain was acting his usual self.

'I know his not the type to hold a grudge against any of us especially for a stupid reason as that.' Referring to not being able to come back to Saboady.

But Luffy's smile lasted for a second as his faced took on a serious look "You're smart, so you must know what had happened."

The shadow of his hair left only half of his face visible.

"Eh?" She was confused by his sudden mood change.

"Luffy, what-"

"Sorry, right now I can't travel with all of you." Luffy's voiced was quite.

"Good bye Nami."

He turned and started walking away.

Nami blinked for a few seconds then she gaped at her captain; she can feel irritation building up her body. Her patience is running out at the cold shoulder her crew mates were giving her. For weeks she been worried sick about them and it wasn't her fault that she landed on a sky island, she had enough of their moping.

She stalked after Luffy on the street.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Some things just never change.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Luffy felt a warm and dark aura coming closed to him from behind, he glanced back and slightly shivered at the devious looked Nami had on her faced.

He could not believed it! After a long time of not seeing the scary woman and becoming strong at that period of time, the girl could still inflict fear in him!

He was so shocked by the realization that he was caught off guard by Nami's fist hitting his faced.

"Gyaaa!" Luffy flew off a few meters from where he was standing.

"So this is where you were Luffy." Cabaji coming from behind Nami runs up to her captain.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

A couple of meters away from the restaurant.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

"Ugh!" Nami has taken a step backward, startled at seeing Buggy's henchmen appearing out of nowhere.

"The captain ordered us to look for you; the ship's repair is complete. We can set sail now." Mohji and Richie (who was chewing on a piece of meat) stood beside Nami.

The navigator looked back and forth between Buggy's crew and Luffy.

'Wha-what's going on! Are they talking to Luffy? Why would Luffy set sail with them!?'

As she saw Cabaji squatting down next to Luffy, she realized that they are indeed talking to her captain.

"You really need to go back to calm down that wife of yours, she's been looking for you all morning and the woman's starting to get agitated." Mohji's voiced taking a tone of a whisper as he looked around, scared that the person his talking about might have heard him.

Nami's jaws dropped to the ground as she gawked at the fur clothed man who was now wearing a hairstyle which resembles a wallaby.

'Wha-wha-WHAT!!! Di-di-did he just said WIFE!?? And the person his addressing it to is LUFFY!?!'

She slaps her hands on her cheek, her whole body taking on a very pale complexion.

'This must be a dream! It's impossible that I'm in the New World nor Luffy and Buggy's henchmen are acting decent towards each other!'

With a shivering body which had turned white as a sheet, she gazed at Luffy's direction 'But most of all!!! That guy having a wife after less than a month of not seeing each other is absolutely impossible! I've been together with him for months and I can bet my whole fortune that there are only three things running in that person's mind; Meat! Adventure! Pirate King!' Listing out the three things she was (is) absolutely sure the seventeen year old boy is in love with.

'That's right! This is definitely a dream!' She nods her head as the idea becoming more and more plausible.

"What's more is…" the animal trainer spoke quietly "Alvida taunting her won't do any good so we really need to get back on the ship or we might end up staying here longer for another ship repair."

"Soka!" Tapping downward her right fist to her palm.

"I must be dreaming. I need to wake up…" Nami spoke quietly to herself, wearing a dazed expression and not anymore paying attention to the world around her.

Mohji and Richei both heard her whisper and decided to hit her in the in the head.

"Kya!" The navigator snapping out of her dazed state gaped at them.

She suddenly flared, red fiery aura encasing her body as she started hitting the man and Lion a number of times.

"Why the hell did you did that!?" grabbing both of them by the collar she demanded the answer with a demonic looked on her faced.

"We… were waking… you… up…" Was Mohji's choked reply.

"Grrr… grrr.. gr…"

"I don't need your help!" She tossed the two on the ground.

'Okay, that hurt' She rubbed her head.

'So that means I'm not dreaming...' She wanted to cry and she did, as water fall tears freely flow from her closed eyes.

"Yosh! The ships finally fixed." Luffy got up while grinning to Cabaji.

"Let's go!" He walked ahead as Buggy's mates started following him.

"Lu-Luffy! Wa-wait!"

The three men and animal stopped on their track to looked at her.

She swallowed on nothing as she suddenly felt nervous; the words she wanted to utter were lost.

The boy who was supposed to be her comrade or family to be precised felt like a stranger as she approached him. He was once again staring at her with an expressionless faced.

Nami fell silent as she gripped the side of her cargo pants.

An awkward silenced passed between the group.

Luffy turned his body to faced her.

"Nami, it really is good to see you. Take care." He beamed at her one last time before walking away.

Cabaji, Mohji and Richei followed behind him.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The Harbor

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

The group of three men and one animal walked up to the harbor towards their ship which was docked on the port.

"He-hey Luffy, you sure about what you just did?" Mohji cautiously asked him.

"The thief girl looked hurt backed there." Cabaji glanced back to where they came from.

"Grrr! Grrr."

"See! Even Richie's agreeing." The animal trainer spoke proudly; a little boastful that he understands the lion.

"Grrr!?" Richie who was trying to picked out a piece of meat in his teeth looked at his master at the mention of his name. When he failed in his attempt to picked off the meat that was stuck in his fangs a few seconds ago he let out a growl of irritation.

"Cabaji, Nami is more of a navigator rather than a thief." Feeling the need to defend his previous nakama.

Then he remembered how quick handed the girl is at taking other people's stuff.

"Or maybe not…" Contradicting himself with a sweat drop on his head.

Cabaji raised an eyebrow at him.

Luffy grinned at them as he leaned his head backward to rest on his cross arm behind his head.

"I'm not being cold but I don't want any of them getting involve in this messed."

"The Straw Hats crew all have a dream they want to chased after and as their previous captain I don't want to hold them back." He chuckled.

'Can't say I'm not surprised at how well Nami is taking all this, I would have expected her to seriously beat me up.' His face frowning in confusion as he thought of the navigator's unusual reaction.

'There's also Zoro, I haven't met up with him since we got separated in Saboady.' He knew for a fact that the swordsman will either walk away from him in disgust or beat him to a crap for breaking his promised.

His train of thoughts stop as they neared the port.

"Luffy! You're back!" Hancock stood up from where she was waiting as she run towards Luffy with an excited smile on her face.

He grinned at her.

"Ah Luffy-kun! Welcome back!" Jinbei smiled at him.

"Can you help us set sail?" The fishman asked.

"Okay!" Luffy faced Hancock and handed her a bag with Buggy's cosmetics in it.

"Can you hold this?"

Hancock willingly took it from him; she gazed at him lovingly as Luffy sped off to help ready the ship to sail.

'Hancock I was walking around town and I saw this elegant piece of jewelry'

'I thought to myself that it would definitely suit your brilliant features!' Luffy gazed at her handsomely.

'I bought it not caring if I run out of money so please accept it, love'

As the breeze ruffled his soft, shiny dark locks of hair and the setting sun illuminated his manly features, he gently hold her hand and slowly brought it to his lips to kissed it.

"Kyaaa!" Hancock blushed.

"Luffy please stop! It's embarrassing but you're so sweet!" Hancock wiggled from left to right as she delved into her dream.

Cabagi and Mohji looked at her with a sweat drop on their head. Even after a long time they still can't get used to the beautiful woman's antics.

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Going back to the navigator

=1=2=3=4=5=6=7=8=9=

Nami gazed on as to where Luffy was standing a few moments ago.

She shivered, liked a cold water was poured down her body.

As her captain's words left his mouth she felt like it might be the last time she will ever see him, the last words he will speak to her in a long period of time.

She felt her knees buckled as she knelt to the ground.

She blinked trying to make sense of the confusing chained of events.

She went down to Blue Sea with the determination to search for her nakama and get her family backed together yet why did she felt like she completely lost them when she personally found two of them.

Biting her lower lip to stop the tears from falling, she gripped her fist and looked at the sky.

Pumping her fist in the air, she shouted to no one in particular.

"Somebody tell me what's happening!!?!??"

For the first time since entering Grand Line the navigator felt utterly lost in this placed.

EDIT: To those people who cursed me and was heart broken of Luffy being married, please continue reading to the next chapter and you'll perhaps forgive me? lol!

Might be consider as a spoiler (or not): I know I made Luffy and Chopper a little (I hope) OOC in their first appearance and the reason will be revealed later on.
