A/N: Hello, Dear Readers. :) I know this chapter is terribly late...If some of you don't know yet, my sister has been pushing me off the computer to chat with her friends on Dollars. Tsk. So this chapter was delayed for like about a week. But here it is! I hope you guys can still be interested in this "unworthy" story. XD This chapter is the LONGEST chapter in this story, so it'll probably be worth the long wait...Probably...
Here's a small preview of the last chapter in case you guys forgot. :)
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ONE PIECE. ALL RIGHT GO TO ODA-SENSEI. :)
Luffy turned on his heel and ran as fast as he can, back to the room. He felt like his heart was gonna pop out of his chest. Luffy sensed that he wasn't suppose to see that.
As soon as he entered the room, he ran to the bed and jumped onto it. He buried his face onto his pillow.
'Was Zoro and Robin having...SEX!? WHAT THE HELL!?' He screamed inside his mind, his mouth agape. 'N-N-No. That's not possible! But it is true that Zoro's been having a lot of alone time with Robin, but still...'
Luffy's POV
I groaned inwardly and slid down my seat further. It was so BORING! It was killing me. But not litteraly. I suddenly heard a certain sound from my stomach. I sighed. Plus, I was hungry. I rubbed my stomach and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, and the sun was almost setting.
"Hey, If your hungry, you should've gotten something to eat," Nami said, taking something out of her bag and shoving it to my face.
My lips immediately shaped into a grin and took her offer of a simple bag of chips. I sat up and opened the bag, taking a handful and shoving it into my mouth. I chewed joyfully as Nami just stared at me with half lidded eyes.
"Sanji still needs to beat some manners into you, Luffy." She told me, making me look at her questioningly. She sighed and sank back to her seat, I stared at her before going back to eat the small amount of food.
We, along with Zoro and Robin, were going to this place called "Elli-something island". Nami told me that the ferry had to go to the island before going straight to Liberty island. She also told me that the Statue of Liberty was on Liberty island, but she started saying other stuff. They weren't all that interesting, so I didn't listen to the rest of the things she said, until she noticed that I was staring elsewhere and smacked me in the face, calling me rude.
I rubbed the part of my cheek she had slapped a few minutes ago, It still slightly stung when I touched it. I then looked down at the small chip bag. I thought for a few minutes, I felt like my brain was gonna explode, so I stopped.
'I'll just save it for later...' I thought, shoving the small bag inside my pants pocket. As soon as I was sure that it was unnoticeable to other people, I grinned and patted it. I looked over to Nami and saw that she was reading from a pamphlet. She noticed my stare and turned her head to face me, I looked at her with a blank expression.
"What're you doing?" I asked, I waited for her reaction but she only snorted. "Reading, of course," She said in a tone that sounded like the most obvious thing in the world. I only stared at her.
"Okay..?"
Nami sighed and turned back to the pamphlet, I watched her and only stared. Her orange locks had caught my attention. It looked so pretty...I wanted to touch it...She turned to me a few minutes later, noticing that I was still staring at her.
"Is there something wrong..?" Nami asked, lowering the pamphlet. I blinked.
"No, nothing's wrong," I responded, bewildered by my own actions. "Then can you please stop staring," She told me. I slowly nodded and she quickly turned her gaze back to the pamphlet. I stood up and walked up to the railing, I leaned down and stared at the ocean water.
"Be careful!" I heard Nami shout from behind, I grinned and stared down at the salty water. It was obvious that I'll just drown if I randomly, or out of my mind, just jump into the water. It was all because of that accursed fruit. I rolled my eyes. I'd rather not think about that now. We're on vacation for God's sake!
I hadn't noticed that I was tilting forward until someone "accidentally" bumped me. I panicked.
"Whoah!" I flailed my arms, trying to reach out and grab something before landing in the oceany depths. I felt sweat rolling down my forehead as I thought of things that could happen next. One, I could fall over board and never see light again. I suddenly imagined me, trying the best that I could to keep my head up the water with the boat speeding past me in the background. Two, Zoro or someone who would notice me falling can dive in and save me. Or three, someone can grab me RIGHT NOW BEFORE I COME DOWN LIKE A HAMMER!
That was it, I knew I couldn't make it.
Suddenly, an arm grew on the rail and grabbed my leg. I gasped and looked up.
"Aa! Robin! Thanks!" I yelled, as a few more arms grew on the side of the boat forming a ladder. I grinned and pushed my hat down to my head.
I paused.
My hat wasn't there...
I rechecked.
My HAT wasn't THERE...
I rechecked once again before my face lost its color.
MY HAT WASN'T THERE!
I looked down only to see my straw hat moving to where the wind took it. My eyes widened and I immediately pulled back my arm.
"Gomu Gomu no...PISTOL!" I said, stretching my arm out to try to catch the hat, but sadly didn't get anything but air. But it caused Robin's arm to loosen its grip around my leg. I heard a gasp from the deck and saw Robin run up to the side of the ship and lean against the railing.
"Luffy! Come back!" Robin said, I stretched my arm once again and shot it to the railing. I then saw Nami and Zoro appear near the railing.
"Luffy!" Nami yelled, concerned for my safety. "Luffy, what the hell are you doing?!" Zoro said, but seemed to realize that he didn't have his hat with him. "And where the heck is your hat!?"
"I know! That's what I'm trying to do!" I yelled back, as soon as I retracted my arm and both the soles of my sandals were flat against the side of the ship. I looked frantically and beamed with happiness as soon as I saw my straw hat waving in the wind. I released my grip on the railing and began free-falling on my back.
"Luffy! What are you doing?!" Nami screamed, but I only grinned back as I stretched my arm and got a hold of the main mast. Nami, Zoro, and Robin looked up to see where I was aiming. I sped past them and flew up to the highest peak of the boat, I hugged the pole but let my left arm to shield my eyes from the sunset. I grinned when I saw my straw hat floating, it seemed as if it was floating in front of the sun as it was setting. I shielded my eyes but stretched my arm to grab it and at the same time let go of the pole.
I chuckled as I caught my hat and put it on top of my head, my grin grew wider as it seemed that I was falling carelessly onto the deck. The floor seemed to get closer as I waited for a few seconds. I finally positioned myself. All the people on the top deck watched or screamed and ran away as they thought that I was crazy and thought i was doing suicide. I only grinned and landed square on the floor. People screamed, ran away, and heard people calling me "crazy".
"LUFFY..." I felt a shiver run down my spine as I heard my name get called out, but not in a good way. I turned around, sweat running down my face with a constipated smile. "W-W-What is it..?"
I already knew the answer. I pinched my eyes closed and waited for the pain, and it soon did. I let out a scream of pain and looked up at the murderous expression on her pretty face.
"Why the heck did you do that for!?" She yelled as I cupped my ears with both my hands. "Then what else could I do?!" I yelled back, rubbing the top of my head.
"You could've done something safer! Look, now they think you're a freaking psycho path!" Nami yelled once again, pointing at the small huddled group of innocent people in the corner. I pouted.
"But-"
"You know, Nami-san is right," Robin said, interrupting what I was just about to say. My frown deepened.
"Thanks, Robin!" Nami said with a thumbs up. Robin smiled back. I pouted. Why. Why, Robin. Why.
Nami noticed me and her smile grew bigger. "But..." I perked up, just hearing those simple words being said. "Since we're actually on a small vacation, you're off the hook,"
As soon as I heard those words, I sprang up and hugged her. Nami let out a small noise from the sudden hug and blushed. "Shishishishi. Thanks, Nami!" I said, pulling back my head to look at her. She blushed and looked away.
"I-I-It's fine! You don't need to thank me!" Zoro raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Plus, we are on a vacation. Right..?" Nami said, looking over to where Robin sat with a pleading look on her face. Robin chuckled.
"Ee," Robin said, an amused smile playing on her lips. Nami sent her a death glare and looked back to me. "Um..."
"Hm? What is it..?"
"C-C-Could you please let go..?" Nami said making me look down to where my hands where. I blushed with wide eyes and quickly let go.
"A-A-Aa! Sorry..." I stuttered sweat beading down my face. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! I yelled, kicking myself inwardly.
Nami looked up. "I-I-It's really OK. Nothing about it," She then sat back to where she was sitting and picked up the pamphlet, continuing to read its contents.
What's wrong with me... I said to myself, slumping down on my chair and looking up at the colorful sky. It was really beautiful. The way the colors blended with the night sky. I tilted my head back farther and looked to see the dark night abyss. It looked so dark and...mysterious. Mystery Sky...It looked like it was gonna swallow the brightness of the day and be completely shrouded in darkness. I shivered, feeling the cold night breeze as it went by. I pulled the jacket that draped around my shoulders closer to my body.
Shanks was right, it was nearing christmas and it's starting to turn into that cold season.
Robin's POV
It's cold. I rubbed my arms and got a small bit of warmth. Zoro had apparently noticed and took his jacket off, draping it on my shoulders. I looked over to him and smiled.
"You don't really need to do this for me..." I said, taking his jacket and handing it to him. He frowned. I looked at him, a pleading look on my face.
"Wear it." Zoro said, pushing my hands back. I frowned. "But they're not even mine," I stated, pulling my hands down to my lap, along with his jacket.
"Who cares," Zoro said, crossing his arms. "But please, just wear it. Okay..?"
I smiled. "I respect your kind words, Zoro-kun. But I would be-"
"Or would do you rather like to have the warmth from me instead," Zoro said, looking at the expression on my face. I paused but eventually chuckled.
"That would be a delight," I said, while giggling. Zoro shifted slightly from his chair so that I could have enough room to sit on. I smiled, sitting up and sitting down next to Zoro, closely. I moved my face extremely close to his face and kissed him softly. Zoro responded, kissing me back. I smiled and pulled back.
Nami's eyes widened. "W-W-W-Wait! Y-Y-You two are a couple!" She screamed, also earning Luffy's attention. "Ee?! What did you say!?" Luffy said, looking up to see us. He quickly sat up, but accidentally hitting his forehead on the top rail of the chair in front of him. "OW! What the heck!"
"When did that happen!?" Nami asked, her facial expression shocked. "Yeah! When?!" Luffy joined in, interested that two of his friends just made a relationship with each other.
"Hm..." I thought. "A few days ago." I said.
"'A FEW DAYS AGO'! What kind of answer is that!" Nami blared, as I leaned on Zoro's shoulder. "I speak the truth, Nami-san"
Nami's face turned into a confused one. "How did you guys get together in just a few short days..?"
"It just...happend,"
Nami suddenly smirked and leaned into my ear. "Are you guys in that level yet?" My eyes slightly widened but kept my posture straight.
"Oi!" Zoro said, sending Nami a death glare. But she just ignored it, plain as day.
"Ee. We've reached that level before. And just saying, but I really enjoyed it," I told her as I snuggled closer to Zoro. Zoro fought the blush that tried to come up to his cheeks and said, "Oi! You didn't have to say that!" I chuckled.
"Well, I couldn't help but brag." I told him, a smirk playing on my lips. Zoro stared at me, before looking away. "Aw. How cute. Little Zoro-kun's blushing" Zoro looked back to my face and gave a pleading look, innocent and handsome.
I smiled and tilted my head. "What is it..?" Zoro stared and a frown soon came to his lips. I lifted my finger and put in on his forehead. "Mm?"
"Um..."
I looked behind me and saw Luffy with a confused frown. "What are you talking about, guys? What level?" I smiled and turned my body around. "Would do you like to know, Luffy-san?"
Nami's eyes widened and turned around to face me. "O-O-Oi! Robin! You don't have to tell him!" Nami flailed her arms. I smiled further.
"Wait..." Luffy said, his fingers stroking his chin. "Do you mean...sex..?"
Nami's eyes widened. "YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!" Nami yelled, her face turning red. Luffy nodded. "Mm. Someone told me what it meant a long time ago. I really thought it was sick." He said, rubbing the back of his neck with a grin. "But I'd like to try it some day. I think it's...interesting..."
Nami blushed. I chuckled.
Interesting...
I smiled.
What an interesting couple...
Nami's POV
I smiled, taking in the fresh wintery air. Exhaling, I turned back around to face the others. "Okay guys," I began. My eyes quickly wandered to the raven haired boy jumping up and down in joy, obviously ignoring me. Oh yeah...ignoring me...
I sighed. "Luffy,"
Luffy stopped moving, or whatever he was doing, and looked to face me with an ear to ear grin. "When can we explore, Nami!" He asked, full of adrenaline. I smiled, lifting my wrist to look at my wristwatch. I took a quick glance at it and looked back up.
I said, "We have a few minutes left but I think that's how much we'll take to walk up to the Statue of Liberty..." I paused, "So we'll just go now."
Luffy drooped, "Aww~ I don't get to explore..."
I walked up to him and pulled on his nose; causing it to stretch, "You have plenty of time to explore when we get there," I said, frowning and letting go, making his nose snap back to his face. Luffy winced and rubbed his nose.
"Ow...You didn't have to do that you know,"
"I know," I said with a smirk. Luffy looked at me and frowned.
"Now," I said, turning on my heel, my back facing them, "Let's go."
As we were walking, the statue seemed to get closer and bigger. Taking note that something seemed to be sticking out of a window from the crown. Her confused expressions soon turned into a scowl. It was a bear's head...
Lousy kids...
I stopped looking at the stupid and dangerous scene and continued walking. It wasn't like I didn't care that a random kid or animal just sticked their head out the window above a 305 foot statue.(A/N: Yes, It is 305 feet in all, including the pedestal and foundation. Googled it. XD) I did care...but it was stupid.
After a long walk to the inside of the statue, with a really annoying, over excited, raven haired boy following beside me, we finally made it.
Robin examined her surroundings and frowned, "Too bad they can't install an elevator,"
That was kinda true. I looked around, we were at the base of the Statue and Robin didn't seem to like much. I could see the wood, machines, lights, stairs, wires,...metal.
"You know, I might agree with you on that, Robin," I said, also frowning. But the idea of having an elevator in this huge place would be nice...
"Come on, Let's go, guys!" Luffy yelled enthusiastically, a grin on his face, already beginning to climb the stairs. Actually...run up the stairs.
"Oi, Luffy! You have to wait for us too you know!" I yelled, running up after him and grabbing the back of his vest before he could run any further. I saw him pout and turn around.
"Hey, guys! Let's go!" I said, gasping as I didn't feel the red vest in my hand anymore. I scrunched up my eyebrows and looked up. "LUFFY!" I heard his chuckle as it slightly echoed against the Statue of Liberty's iron frame. "Come back here!" I yelled, running up the stairs too.
Zoro smirked, softly whispering to himself, "It's going smoothly, just like I planned..." But didn't notice Robin's burning ears.
"What do you mean "going smoothly", Zoro-kun. Did you plan something?" Robin asked, "wondering" what he meant.
"It's nothing," Zoro chuckled, walking up the steps. A small smile formed on Robin's lips as she walked up to Zoro and held his hand. She giggled and leaned onto Zoro's shoulder, "Ee, Nothing..."
Zoro smiled and kissed Robin's head, making her chuckle.
-Luffy and Nami-
Nami panted, her legs trembling. How many stairs are in this thing!? Nami thought to herself, looking up to see that she only had to climb a few more steps. Nami grunted and forced her legs to work. She was pretty sure that she was going to give Luffy a good beating when she gets back up on her legs. As soon as Nami got on the final step, she suddenly got blinded by the light. Nami used her arm to block the sunlight. As soon as she got used to the light, she took a good look around.
Nami spotted Luffy and frowned mad. She wobbled over to him. Well...at least tried. She gasped when she found herself tripping. Nami's eyes widened and braced herself for the impact.
Nami's eyes quickly widened, finding a raven haired boy holding her up on her shoulders. She blushed, noticing how close she was to Luffy's face.
"Are you Ok?" He asked, a sense of worry in his expression. Nami quickly backed away and responded. "Y-Y-Yeah. I'm fine,"
Luffy looked confused. "Are you sure you're Ok? You look red." He said moving closer to her. Nami's eyes widened, cautiously taking a step back. Bad move. She tripped, again. Lucky for her, Nami kept herself from falling on her butt but soon found Luffy extremely close to her. Luffy narrowed his eyes as he stared at her and brushed off her bangs by using his hand.
Nami's heart beat quickened as she continued to watch his actions. Luffy closed his eyes and placed his forehead against hers. Nami stared at him, her mouth slightly parted as she stared at him with wide eyes. Luffy's eyes opened and he let go. Nami somehow felt...disapointed.
"I think you have a fever."
Nami frowned. "Of course I don't"
"Well, you look really red and your forehead is really hot," Luffy pointed out with a frown, his hand on his own forehead, still feeling her warmth emitating from his forehead. Nami frowned and pursed her lips, looking away with a huff. Luffy's frown turned into grin and he began to chuckle.
"You look cute." He said. Nami's eyes widened and she tried to hide her face, which was litteraly turning red. He chuckled more and it only seemed to embarass her more. Luffy stopped cchuckling and his mind lit up. "Oh yeah..." He softly put his fist down his other palm. Nami noticed.
"W-What?" Nami looked up to see Luffy grinning. He walked closer. "Ee? Luffy, something wrong?" She said, sweat running down her chin. Luffy grinned, quickly walking up to her and wrapping his left arm around her waist. Nami felt his grip tighten and Nami blushed furiously.
"L-L-Luffy!" Nami blushed, trying to unloosen his grip but he had a really tight hold. Nami looked up. "What are you doing?!"
Luffy only grinned and looked around. Zoro was right. No one was here. He chuckled and looked at Nami. But it soon disapeared as he saw her. "Nami..." Said person had her head down with her bangs covering her eyes. She had a frown on her lips. Her lips slowly parted and Luffy waited for something to come out of her mouth. Luffy frowned when she closed her lips. Nami quickly looked up at his face with her eyebrows knitted and a fierce glare coming from her eyes. Nami gritted her teeth, as Luffy wore a parted smile with his eyebrows not matching his smile. He was obviously sweating.
"Euhm...Yes?" His voice shook.
"Put me down." Nami said, even if there was a huge blush on her cheeks. Luffy frowned and his nervoussnes washed away.
"No."
"And why is that?" Nami ordered more than asking, a vein beating hard on her forehead. Luffy grinned and walked over to one of the alligned windows of the crown, opening it. Nami looked at him with half lidded eyes, hanging by his side. She said. "Oi, Luffy. If you just wanted some fresh air, you should-"
"LUFFY! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?" Nami screamed as he stepped onto the ledge.
"What do you think?" He said, grabbing onto the head of the window with the other hand that wasn't around Nami's waist.
"You're crazy! Are you serious?!" Nami yelled as Luffy took another step closer out the window. Nami had a quick glance at the bottom as she rocked back and forth from his movements. Her eyes widened. It was a long way down. She quickly became afraid and immediately clung onto Luffy. Not wanting to look down. Luffy chuckled, finding it cute.
"You're crazy..." She said in a whisper, clinging onto his chest. Luffy only smiled and held her tighter. Luffy turned around, so he was facing the window, his and Nami's body hanging off the window. Luffy looked down and narrowed his eyes.
"I've climed bigger mountains than this, Ee, Nami?" Luffy grinned, looking down at her. "I know you have, but can you please get somewhere where I could stand withought hanging off a large statue building!" She screamed, sending him a glare. Luffy only sighed.
"Fine," Luffy let go of his hold onto the head of the window and started falling on his back. Nami's eyes widened and she looked up at him. "Luffy! What are you doing!?" She said, still hugging his waist but was quickly silenced as she saw his stretched arm holding onto the fence surrounding the torch. Luffy grinned and Nami held on for dear life as Luffy's arm began retracting back to the torch. Luffy landed safely, only Nami didn't look that good. Luffy frowned.
"Luffy...YOU IDIOT!" She said, hitting him on the head with her fist, hard.
"OW!" Luffy screamed. "Can't you at least thank me for not dropping you or anything!" He pleaded, earning another hard hit on the head.
"Why would I thank you! You led me up here and I almost had a heart attack! Don't you know that there are stairs!" Nami sighed
Luffy nodded. "I know there are stairs,"
"Then why didn't you just use those to get up here!" Nami looked at him, giving him her most deadliest glare.
Luffy looked at her with half lidded eyes. "'Cause it says it's out of order." Luffy gave her a look that says it's the most obvious thing in the world. Nami hit him again.
"OW! Nami, why do you keep hitting me!" He looked up at her with pleading face.
"Because you keep doing something stupid!" Nami groaned from annoyance and leaned onto the railing, closing her eyes to try to calm down her nerves.
"Are you sleeping?" Nami's closed eyelids twitched.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Nami said, opening one of her eyelids and asking in an annoyed tone.
"Sleeping,"
Nami sighed, closing her eyes again. "Fine, I'm sleeping. Now leave me alone until you finally want to go down again."
"Hm...Okay." Luffy leaned onto the railing too and stared at her peaceful face and her bright orange hair.
"Nami..." Luffy said, catching the red head's attention, she opened her eyes. "You look pretty." Nami almost fell of the railing the moment the sentence left his mouth.
Nami turned to him, a blush on her cheeks.
"What?" Luffy said, confused by her behaviour. Nami only sighed.
"It's nothing...really." Nami turned away, a wave of depression washing over her. "Nami, I mean it. You really are beautiful...I think I like you.."
Nami's eyes widened and she quickly turned to Luffy's direction, but was quickly answered by his lips. Nami stared at the raven haired boy in surprise. Luffy parted and he wore a wide grin.
"Nami, I love you."
Everything seemed to stop for her as those three simple words left his mouth. Nami seemed to have a hard time breathing and gulped. Just three words. Three words...
A small smile crept onto her face. She jumped up and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Luffy chuckled against her lips and fell on his butt. Nami parted, a wide smile on her face.
"I love you too." She grinned. Luffy chuckled and kissed her again. Nami laughed, even during the kiss and fell on her back, still laughing. Her hair spread out in bright orange strands and her face teemed with glee. Luffy chuckled too and opened his eyes.
Nami looked really pretty...Even far more beautiful...More than beatiful...He didn't know...
As Luffy continued to stare at her, Nami's laughter seemed to die down into a smile. She then noticed his stare. Nami sat up.
"W-W-What," She said, a bit embaressed by his stare. Luffy grinned and pounced on her. Nami's eyes widened.
"L-L-Luffy!" Nami sttutered, not sure what he was gonna do. Luffy only chuckled and kissed her. Nami relaxed and closed her eyes as they continued to kiss.
-Zoro and Robin-
"It seems that they're having fun," Robin said, lowering her crossed arms and leaning onto Zoro's shoulder. Robin continued to stare at Zoro as he stared at the beaming city of lights through the window. Zoro noticed her stare.
"What?" He said, looking down at her.
Robin chuckled and looked at the city again. "Isn't it weird for a person like Luffy to think of something as dangerous as that..."
Robin looked up at Zoro. "Isn't it."
Zoro looked at her and sighed. "I told him that it would be a good idea...Since I knew he liked Nami...He trusted me, 'cause I'm his best friend and...first recruited member of his group..."
Robin smiled at her boyfriend. "Isn't that sweet." She said, cuddling his arm. "He trusts you."
"Of course he trusts me," Zoro smirked. "I wouldn't be his best friend if he doesn't trust me, right?"
Robin chuckled. "Maybe..."
-Luffy and Nami-
Luffy stood up, offering his hand. Nami smiled and accepted it. They both walked to the railing, hand in hand, and leaned onto it.
"I really like kissing with you, Nami." Luffy said. Nami blushed.
"Yeah..."
"We should do it all the time!" Luffy exclaimed, earning a bump on the head.
"No!" Nami said, leaning on the railing again with a sigh and a smile.
Luffy pouted. "Well, why not?" He said, standing up and brushing himself off. "Oh! Are you shy?" Luffy asked, creeping up behind her and moving his hands in a tingling motion up her back. Nami shivered and formed her hand into a fist, turning around to hit him hard on the head, but failed.
Luffy caught her fist and Nami gasped, he moved quickly and kissed her. Nami frowned and pushed him back. Luffy chuckled and Nami crossed her arms. Luffy moved up to her and kissed her again. Nami smiled and shoved him again.
"Come on, Nami!" He whined. "Let me kiss you!"
Nami giggled. "Catch me first!"
Luffy grinned and both began chasing each other around the torch in glee.
-Zoro and Robin-
"They really are happy.." Robin smiled, still looking at what they were doing through her Hana Hana powers. Nami tripped and Luffy caught her and kissed her. And so on, so on.
