I don't own One Piece.

It had been a few days since the crew entered East Blue.
Their first destination was Luffy's home town, Fusha Village.
Luffy sat on the roof of the crow's nest, eager to catch the first glimpse of his island.
A war of slashes and kicks was being waged on deck between Zoro and Sanji, who had just learned from Chopper that he was in fact not sterile.
Franky, Usopp, and Chopper were fishing off the side of the ship while Robin and Nami sunbathed on the upper deck.
Robin, who had been reading, lowered her book to gaze up at the bright blue sky for a moment, then turned to Nami.
"So we're visiting your island last?" she asked.
Nami opened her eyes slightly and smiled as she continued to take in the warm rays of the sun while laying back on her chaise longue.
"Yeah." she replied. "But first we're going to visit Luffy and Usopp's hometowns, and the restaurant where Sanji-kun grew up."
"Didn't Zoro grow up in East Blue as well?" Robin asked.
Nami nodded. "He said that the dojo where he was raised is too far inland and that he would go there by himself after I'm let off."
Robin was silent for a moment.
"So..how did it happen?" she suddenly asked.
Nami fully opened her eyes and looked at Robin questioningly.
"With you and Luffy."
Nami stared at Robin for a few seconds, then sighed and closed her eyes again.
"..It just kind of happened.." she began. "..It was about six months ago.."

Six months prior

It was a cold, rainy day.
The Strawhats had just departed from an island that morning.
Nami had decided to warm up by taking a bath, and was just finishing drying herself off with a towel in the lavatory section of the bathing room.
She was about to begin putting on her clothes when she tripped on a bar of soap, hit her head on the sink, and lost consciousness.
Some time passed before she woke up.
As she grogily opened her eyes, she heard the sound of someone humming. Whoever it was, he was incredibly off key.
Still not fully awake, she got to her feet and rubbed her forehead.
Small amounts of steam were coming in from the bathing area.
She slowly walked out of the lavatory and noticed that there was someone in the room.
It was Luffy.
He was facing away from her, naked, scrubbing his arms, while happily humming to himself.
'What's going on..?' she thought to herself. 'Why does my head hurt? And why is Luffy naked?'
Without thinking, she started walking forward.
When she was within a few feet of him, Luffy turned around.
He was more than surprised to find his navigator standing naked before him.
"AHHH!!" he yelled.
Knocked out of her trance by Luffy's shout, Nami stumbled forward into him, knocking him off balance.
Luffy fell backwards, along with Nami, landing on his back.
A few seconds passed before Nami finally regained her senses.
When she did, she realized that she was laying naked on top of Luffy, who was also naked, and their lips were pressed against each other.
She immediately lifted herself up onto her arms.
Their mouths made a kissing sound as they parted.
Luffy stared up at her, eyes wide and mouth agape.
Nami got to her feet as fast as she could. "W-Wha..!?"
Luffy backed up onto his hands, then quickly stood up, stumbling backwards.
"W-What are you doing here!?" Nami shouted, covering herself with her arms while searching the ground for a towel.
"What are YOU doing here!?" Luffy shouted back, making no attempt to hide any part of himself.
"I was bathing!!" she yelled while picking up a towel she had just found and wrapping it around herself. "Didn't I lock the door!? And didn't you see me!?"
"The door was unlocked!" he bellowed. "And I didn't see you anywhere!!"
"Well get out!!" Nami ordered.
"Why should I have to get out!?" Luffy protested.
Nami clenched her fists and grinded her teeth, then stomped forward and smashed Luffy over the head, sending him crashing to the floor.
"Put your clothes on and leave!" she demanded.
Luffy finally agreed and a minute later he left the room.
Nami hastily dressed herself, then followed him out.
She ran through the rain to her sleeping quarters, flung the door open, then headed in.
"What was that..!?" she said outloud as she closed the door behind her.
"What happened?" asked Robin, who was sitting on her bed, reading a book.
"N-Nothing.." Nami muttered before taking a seat on her own bed.
'How did that happen!?' she thought to herself. 'We just kissed! I just kissed Luffy!'

That evening
xxxxxxxxxx
Despite what had happened, there was no awkwardness between Luffy and Nami as the crew ate dinner.
There were never unspoken feelings between crew members. If there was ever something on one of their minds, they said it.
And today was no different.
After dinner, as Luffy was leaving the cabin, Nami called to him.
"Luffy.." she said in a dark voice, an evil smiling twitching at her cheeks.
"What?" asked Luffy, turning around and putting his hands on his hips.
"You stole something very important from me today." she said. "And I expect you to pay for it. 500,000,000 beri. That's the price of my lips."
"But that wasn't my fault!" he argued.
"You're paying anyway."
Luffy growled.
Nami started to walk towards the door when the ship suddenly started rocking.
Luffy stepped backwards to regain his balance and his back slammed against the wall to the side of the door, while Nami stumbled forward.
"We must have entered a storm!" she exclaimed.
She could hear the voices of the crew as they shouted out on deck.
The ship suddenly lurched, and Nami fell forward against Luffy.
Their faces were suddenly inches apart.
Just as she was about to pull away, Zoro slammed the door open.
"Hey! Luffy! Nami!" he yelled. "Are you in here!?"
Seeing no sign of them, he closed the door.
Unknown to him, his two crewmates had been pinned behind the door he just opened, and were now gazing into eachother's eyes as they found themselves locking lips for the second time that day.
Nami pulled back and gasped for air while staring at Luffy, speechless.
Her forearms were pressed up against his chest.
"Ah.." she breathed.
The ship continued to rock and she could still hear the other's shouts from outside.
Luffy was looking at her intensely.
After a few moments, she finally snapped back to reality and began to back up.
"T-The crew needs us.." she whispered, taking a step back.
Then Luffy did what she could never have expected.
Just as she was about to be out of his arm's reach, he suddenly pulled her back to him, wrapped his arms around her back and neck, and smothered her mouth with his own.
Her whole body instantly reacted.
Her shoulders hunched up, her hands closed up into tight fists, and her knees nearly buckled under.
All her senses shut down for a moment.
Then she began to feel wave after wave of warmth crawl down her spine.
His one hand moved up her back, sending out ripples of quivering sensation through her tensed muscles.
He sent his other up her neck, where he ran his fingers through her hair.
She had no idea how long he had been doing this by the time her mind finally turned back on.
She pushed again his chest, enough to break the kiss.
"L-Luffy..!!" she gasped, unable to believe what was happening. "W-What are you-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Luffy forced her back to him, this time into a deep embrace.
She gasped again as her cheek rubbed against his and her chin pressed against his shoulder.
Some time passed before she was able to calm herself.
"..Luffy.." she said weakly. "..what are you doing.."
Luffy eased his grip on her, allowing her to step back slightly.
"Is it okay.." he said, keeping his arms on her,
"..if I fall in love with you?"
Nami's mouth opened slightly.
She continued to stare at him.
The boat lurched again and she stumbled to keep her balance.
"Where's Strawhat and nee-chan!?" came Franky's voice. "We need one more person to man the sails, and we need the navigator to guide us out of here!"
Luffy looked at the door.
"Hmmm.. We better go help!" he exclaimed, letting go of her.
He opened the door and the two were immediately whipped by the heavy rain blowing into the room.
They both ran outside and set off to help the crew.

After an hour, the ship was safely out of the storm.
Everyone was so tired afterwards, they all went to sleep.

The next morning
xxxxxxxxxx
The Strawhats sat around the dining room table, eating breakfast.
Nami quietly sipped from her cup of tea while staring at the table in thought.
She glanced at Luffy.
He noticed, and grinned at her broadly.
She returned her stare to the table.

Later on that day
xxxxxxxxxx
Luffy was lying down on the upper deck with his eyes closed.
Nami walked up to him and kneeled down. She leaned her head over him.
Luffy opened his eyes.
"Okay!" she suddenly exclaimed.
Luffy frowned. "What is?"
"Hmmm!" Nami grinned.
She bent her head down and kissed him.
"That is."

Current day

"I see..." said Robin. "..That's a fun story."
"..It's stupid.." said Nami.
Luffy suddenly cried from atop the crow's nest, "I SEE IT!!"
Franky, Usopp, Chopper, Nami, and Robin all stood up.
"You see the island!?" shouted Franky.
"YEAH!!"
The five headed towards the front of the ship, but were unable to get there due to a certain two-person obstruction.
"HOW DARE YOU DECEIVE ME!!" Sanji roared as he sent a kick flying towards Zoro.
"Bastard!" yelled Zoro, blocking the kick with his sword. "You woke me up just because of that!?"
"I was prepared to kill myself!!" Sanji thundered.
"Well it's not too late!" Zoro snapped. "I'll gladly be your second!"
Their fight was cut to an abrupt halt as Nami smashed their heads together and sent them to the ground.
"Stop being idiots!" she ordered. "We're about to dock."
xxxxxxxxxx
"T-That flag..!!"
"It couldn't be!?"
"It's...!"
"It's...!!"
"LUFFY!!"
The citizens of Fusha village gathered at the docks as the Strawhat's ship approached them.
"He's come back!!" yelled one of the towns people.
"Luffy's finally come back!!" shouted another. "Luffy! The new Pirate King!!"
Sanchou and Makino stepped up to the front of the growing crowd.
"It's really Luffy!" exclaimed Makino. "It's been so long!"
"Hmph!" grunted Sanchou. "What's to be happy about!? The Pirate King is coming to our town!"
Makino smiled. "I know you're excited to see him again too." she said.
"What are you talking about.." he muttered, turning his head to hide the feint smile edging up the side of his cheeks.
By the time the ship reached the dock, every citizen of the town had gathered.
"LUFFY!! LUFFY!!" they chanted.
Luffy stood at the front of the ship wearing a huge smile and waving to the crowd.
After dropping the anchor, the crew climbed off the ship onto the dock, where they were greeted by Sanchou.
"So you've finally come back, huh?" he said.
"Yep!" Luffy exclaimed, laughing.
"Come with us to the tavern!!" shouted one of the town members. "The whole village will celebrate your return!"
"There's so much to talk about.." said Makino. "Why don't you and your crew come down to the tavern?"
"Yeah!" shouted Luffy. "Let's go!"
xxxxxxxxxx
Luffy and the crew spent the whole day in the tavern and on the streets, telling everyone in the village about themselves and the adventures they had been on.
They sang, danced, drank, and partied long into the night.
xxxxxxxxxx
That night
xxxxxxxxxx
Makino's tavern was filled to the brink with people from the village.
The eight Strawhats sat at the bar.
"TO LUFFY!!" shouted one of the citizens in the tavern, raising his mug above his head. "TO THE NEW PIRATE KING!!"
"KANPAI!!" everyone yelled.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Luffy laughed.
"Everyone here really loves you, huh?" said Usopp.
"This sure is a hearty town." said Franky.
"But there are so few women.." muttered Sanji, slumping down over the counter.
Robin was happily talking to a group of men, while Zoro was engaged in a drinking contest.
Nami, who was refraining from drinking, rested her chin on her hands while quietly listening to her crew mates' banter.
Luffy, Usopp, Franky, and Chopper were talking to Makino and Sanchou.
"You've made such great friends." said Makino.
"Hehehe of course!" exclaimed Luffy.
"You've caused so much trouble in the world.." muttered Sanchou. "Honestly, every generation in your family is such a hassle.."
"Oh, speaking of that..!" interjected Usopp. "Luffy's going to have a kid soon!"
"W-W-WHAT!!" shouted one of the villagers who was sitting next to them.
The villager suddenly jumped onto the table he was sitting at and yelled, "EVERYONE!! LUFFY'S GOING TO HAVE A KID!!"
"EHHH!!" the whole room bursted out.
'Here it comes..' Nami thought to herself.
"Luffy's going to be a father!?" someone shouted.
"No way!" yelled another. "I didn't think it was possible!"
"Luffy is!?"
"Impossible! Luffy!?"
"That Luffy!?"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!" Luffy laughed. "That's right! My kid!!"
"Luffy!" exclaimed Makino. "That's wonderful!"
"You, of all people..!" said Sanchou.
"Who's the mother!?" someone shouted.
"Yeah! Let us meet her!"
"She must be an amazing woman to put up with you!"
Luffy hollered laughing again, then pointed to his orange haired navigator, who was sitting next to him.
"It's Nami!" he exclaimed cheerfully.
Nami bit her lip and looked down slightly.
"That beautiful girl!?"
"Way to go, Luffy!!"
"How could Luffy get such a beauty!?"
Everyone in the room now had their eyes on Nami as they shouted happily.
"Are you married!?" someone yelled.
"When are you having the baby!?"
"You should raise him here!"
"HEY LUFFY!!" a man hollered over everyone else. "I don't believe it! Why don't the two of you kiss to prove it!"
"Yeah! Kiss!"
"HAHAHA! Sure!" Luffy shouted, hopping off his chair.
"W-Wait..!" Nami exclaimed, looking back and forth between everyone in the room and Luffy.
Aside from how embarassing the idea of doing this in front of all these people was, she and Luffy hadn't really done anything in the past few months.
Luffy stepped up to her, put his hands on her shoulders, and grinned.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" everyone cheered.
"..Uh..Ah.." Nami breathed as she stared into Luffy's eyes.
"Hehehe!" he laughed, then leaned in and brought his lips to her's.
As soon as their mouths touched, the whole tavern erupted into cheers and hollers.
She squeezed her eyes shut and grabbed the sides of the stool she was sitting on.
After a few seconds, Luffy pulled back.
Nami opened her eyes to see him grinning widely at her.
They stared at eachother for a few moments while everyone continued to cheer.
Aside from Sanji, who had fallen asleep from a mixture of drunkeness and depression, everyone in the crew grinned at them.

The Strawhats stayed at Fusha village for one more day before departing.
Everyone on the island came to the docks to send them off.
They now set sail for their next destination at Usopp's hometown, Syrup Village.

The first and second chapters of this were fairly easy to write, but for some reason, I've had alot of trouble since then and it wound up taking me five days to get this chapter finished. So I plan to end it in the next chapter..
