A/N Has it really been that long...? :'( Bah, really hope you guys don't hate me.
Schools just ruining my life at the moment. It's ridiculous I've got my MOCs and GCSEs coming up yet I'm still expected to do homework, so therefore I've had no time to write.
On the bright side, SNOW DAY! I got the day off :D So here I am, blew off doing any revision and shit, decided I wanted to do some writing... In a way I guess it could be English revision, right?
Anyway, on with the chapter; hope you enjoy it x End of A/NIt was an 'accident'

Did Brook hate her and the crew or something? He was the musician on board for a reason; no one else could play ANY instrument... okay, no one else could play an instrument well. So why the hell did he think it was a good idea to give Luffy, of all people, a guitar? Just then Nami's ear twitched at the sound of an out of tune song being played... and it was coming closer? Seconds after the door to the library swung open and in came Luffy with his new guitar in hand.

"Nami! Isn't this thing so cool?" When Nami looked at him he had stars in his eyes as he looked down at the guitar.

"Yeah Luffy, it's just great" Anybody else would have picked up on the sarcasm, but this is Luffy; so instead he flashed his infamous grin and carried on playing.

In a way it was quite cute, Nami mused. It was like a little child at Christmas, all excited over a gift they received from an Aunty. When Nami looked back at her desk, hoping in vain to try and be able to ignore Luffy, she caught sight of the picture taken just a few weeks ago. Luffy sneaking up on her and lifting her up in the street, Nami's ears twitched again as Luffy decided to not only try and play the guitar but now sing along to it. Nami sighed, he could be so sweet then he'd turn and be a complete idiot. She was beginning to lose her cool as he strummed along the guitar.

She really hopes this is only a phase.

It had to go.

It was a week and she wasn't the only one who was getting annoyed by it. In the galley Brook, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Zoro and Usopp were discussing how to deal with the guitar problem. Franky and Chopper were assigned to keep Luffy occupied.

"You shitty skeleton, what were you thinking giving an idiot a guitar? He doesn't put the thing down, the only time we get a bit of peace is when he sleeps and eats."

"Hmm, maybe Captain-san will get tired of it after a while?"

"Of course he will, Robin-chwan. You're so brilliant." Sanji started his noodle dance around Robin.

"Robin, it's been four days. This is the longest he's ever been obsessed with something. Can we really afford to wait any longer?" After that comment Sanji stopped and then looked stuck on who to agree with.

"For once I agree with curly brow, I'm not getting any peace. As soon as I'm about to fall asleep there he is, playing the stupid thing." Zoro spoke up from his seat.

"Oi what did you call me?"

"I forget."

"No you di-"

"Sanji, not now." Nami cut in quickly to avoid another fight breaking out.

"Sorry, I thought Captain-san would enjoy this gift. As a musician I have love for instruments, but we're going to have to lose that guitar."

It was silent for a moment as everyone was brooding, before Nami's eyes lit up. A plan already forming in her head.

"Okay guys, I have an idea."

Everyone dispersed from the kitchen and nodded at each other before going back to their normal activities.

A couple hours after, Nami went off in search for Luffy. I mean how hard could it be really? He was loud even without the guitar, so really with the guitar he should be impossibly easy to find. Maybe Robin was right after all and Luffy simply lost interest, her idea was suddenly extinguished as she heard the all too familiar clap of Luffy's sandals and his guitar.

"Hey Luffy" Nami smiled as he approached.

"Look, look, it's getting better!" Nami tried her hardest not to cringe when Luffy played an awful tune and instead forced her once natural smile to stay planted on her face.

"Yeah, it's great Luffy." Nami quickly rushed before continuing, "We haven't seen much of each other lately; we should spend some time together, come on."

"Of course we have, we're on the same ship." Luffy titled his head sideways as he spoke.

Nami sighed, look like she'd have to explain this again, she thought he'd get it by now. "No Luffy that's when the others are there, I mean just us two."

"Oooh, you mean the time we spend together when we kiss a lot?"

Nami let out an exasperated sigh, "Yes Luffy that time." Taking his hand in hers she gave it a tug.

As he was following she noticed he didn't put down his guitar, "Don't bring the guitar, I want to spend time with just you."

She released his hand and wrapped her arms around his neck. She nuzzled her head in the crook of his neck and planted a soft kiss there. He put down his guitar next to the tree and took her hand, leading her towards the observation room. Before they entered the room Nami turned around to send a wink and thumbs up.

It dark as seven faces all looked down at the guitar in disgust, except one who had a neutral look on their face. The guitar that had kept them up late at night, work them up early in the morning and gave them headaches with it's bad songs. In all honesty it wasn't really the guitars fault, it was the owners, but they were too annoyed to see past that.

"What do we do with it?" An innocent voice questioned.

"Slice it." The second voice spoke, it was by far grumpier than the first one.

"Kick it." Another voice spoke from the huddle, the voice certainly matched the same tone as the previous voice.

"Snap it." A calm voice suggested.

No more was said as the huddle compacted closer together and swamped the innocent, vulnerable guitar until no more of could be seen. The only sound coming from the group was the sounds of wood breaking and strings snapping.

It was kind of mean. Especially seeing as how attached he was, but it had to be done.

When Luffy and Nami had come back out on deck everyone was long gone and luckily Luffy seemed to have forgotten about his guitar for the moment. When she looked over at the tree she could see in the shadows the state the guitar was in; beyond repair. Thank god.

Nami swiftly pulled Luffy over to the boy's cabin before he had a chance to remember the now demolished guitar. She gave him one last kiss before turning around and going to her room for the first peaceful sleep in days.

Nami was awoken by a cry; she quickly jolted up and scanned the room for possible danger. After hearing the cry for a while she soon realised it sounded like the Captain. Getting up she got ready to go outside and face the fate brought upon the crew. Just as she got outside she was met by a rather hilarious state. A blubbering Luffy delicately holding his sacred guitar. The neck of the guitar was broke and was weakly holding on by a string, all the other strings were broke and shooting off in different directions and the bottom of the guitar was now decorated with a cut, also with a dent, which looked like someone had kicked it.

When Nami took this all in she tried her hardest not to laugh but her downfall was when she looked at other crew members. All of them were trying their hardest not to laugh, some turning red in the faces, some had tears in the eyes from repressed laughing and even Robin looked like she wanted to laugh. So when Nami let out a giggle everyone was in uproar.

Luffy sat there horror written on his face, "You're all mean!" When he pouted at the end it was like chucking wood to a fire, the crew's laughter just increased.

As soon as Nami had somewhat calmed down she uttered a sentence that started everybody off again; "It was an accident."

Robin was brilliant; throughout all the laughter she had taken a picture of Luffy. Of course Luffy didn't quite like it as much as the others, but no one cared. He deserved it after all the suffering he put the crew through.

She heard the door to her room open and looked up from the photo with a smile on her face. However, the smile dropped off at the sight she saw in front of her; Luffy proudly holding the same, now repaired, guitar that everyone thought they had destroyed. This time, they're chucking it over board.

A/N I'm done! Didn't take as long as I thought it would, sorry if there are any spelling mistakes etc haven't edited it; I wanted to get this posted today.
Love to hear what you guys think. I do have a question though... do you think the quality of my writing has gone down? Be honest, I need to know.
I'll update tomorrow or Sunday, to make up for me taking so horrendously long to update

'Till next time
