Chapter 7: Watch What Thy Wishes For

"Aah, I-I think … it's too tight …"

"I'll make it fit …"

"Aah! It's … It's too big!"

"Hold still while I stick it in!"

"Aah! But it hurts!

"Of course it hurts! It's something really big going through a really small hole!"

"Aah! It hurts! The opening is too small! Abort! Abort!"

"Damn it, Luna!"

The sales woman was standing outside of the fitting room, her entire jaw dropped in a gape at the noises and voices coming out of the dressing room. Then she turned to the three women standing outside of the fitting room. A blond woman was biting her thumbnail and looking very agitated. The brown haired girl looked to be a little nervous, while the green haired one looked completely indifferent to what was going on inside the dressing room.

The green haired woman eventually shifted her eyes to the sales woman and shrugged. "It's our turn next …"

The appalled woman quickly turned to the fitting room and approached it. "Um … excuse me?"

There was a noise of frustration from inside before an orange haired man stuck his head out of the curtain with a frown. "What?!"

The woman blinked in surprise before she took a step back, a blush forming across her nose. 'Wow … he's … very …' She thought to herself before the blush deepened. "I … I … I, uh … You … You can't be in here … It's a women's d-dressing room … and you definitely can't be in there with a woman …" The woman stuttered breathlessly. 'So handsome …'

Nami's frown deepened at this woman before she huffed and rolled her eyes. "Listen hun … I'm gay and unfortunately these girls can't dress themselves even if their lives depended on it."

"Eh?!"

She quickly ducked her head back in to scowl at Luffy and mouth for him to shut up. Then she looked back out at the woman. Zoro, Sanji and Usopp's eyes were as wide as can be. The woman's jaw dropped in astonishment and disappointment.

"O-Oh … I see …" She said after awhile before turning to the other women.

Sanji was still pale, however Zoro only shrugged. "It's true …"

Nami glared at Zoro with the woman's back towards her. However, when the woman turned back, the glare was replaced with a look of, 'See what I mean?'

"I-I see …" The woman said with a frown before she turned to leave. 'Why do all the great looking guys have to be gay?'

Nami watched the woman walk away before scowling at Zoro. He grinned before sticking out his tongue at her. "You said it …"

With a scoff, Nami went back into the dressing room to frown at Luffy, who had removed the shirt. She had to admit, it was a bit unsettling to see him bare-chested. He didn't care in the least, seeing as he was a woman, and not a man now. However, Nami was a little surprised that it bothered her. After all, she was used to seeing a woman's body, right? She had had to fight a major blush when she had first stepped in, when he had refused to come out. She hadn't been expecting it and had almost stepped right back out to her utter bafflement. She was also surprised that he didn't seem bothered by his own naked body either.

At the moment, he was pouting deeply at her. With a sigh, she went and picked up the shirt off the floor. "You weren't doing it right, Luffy …" She said in a quiet voice that only he'd hear.

"I don't care! I don't like it! If it's gonna be trouble for me to get it on by myself, I dun wan' it!"

"Fine! Then try this on instead. You should be able to do it by yourself …"

"These shorts are too short!"

"Well, unfortunately, women don't have shorts like you have Luffy … They are all this short …"

"Well, that's stupid!"

"No it isn't … You're just being stubborn … J-Just put them on, okay?" She said with a frown as she went to step out.

She really didn't want to be looking at him anymore. It made her feel weird. Closing the curtain behind her, she turned to the other three with a displeased frown. All three were looking at her strangely.

"What?!"

"Nothing …"

After Luffy'd tried on all the clothes she'd given him, Zoro then went in for his turn. The majority of the clothes he'd chosen from Nami had been pants. However, much to his disappointment, they were all much too tight fitting.

"Are they all this tight?!"

"Mm, depends. How tight are they?"

"Really tight!"

"Let me see them …"

There was a long silence inside of the room before the curtain was finally pulled back. Zoro stared back at her with a very unhappy frown. Nami walked up to him, and then tugged at the waist. Zoro inhaled sharply before backing away from her.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm trying to see how tight they are around your waist. They don't seem like the wrong size at all."

"But they're tight!"

"They're supposed to be Zoro." Nami said as she looked up at him with a frown.

"Are they all like this?!"

"Unfortunately, yes. It's just how women dress …"

"Yeah, and have really short shorts!"

"Oh come off it you guys!" Nami exclaimed as she frowned at them both. "It's not like you will have to dress like this for very long!"

"I still don't like it!"

"I don't care!" She yelled as she turned to Zoro. "Just pick a few things so we can go already! You're all getting on my nerves!"

"Eh? I didn't do anything …"

"You're annoyed with me, Nalu-san?"

Sighing quickly and heavily, Nami turned to Sanji and Usopp, who were both staring at her wide eyed. "No … just these two then …"

Sanji beamed cheerfully, glad she wasn't irritated with him. Nami found it a little funny, but wasn't in the mood to laugh about it. Usopp only seemed relieved. Then she turned her frown back at Zoro.

"Now hurry up and choose!" She said as she turned him around and shoved him back inside, closing the curtain behind him.

"Oi!" He exclaimed as he was shoved, and then turned to frown at the closed curtain.

Rubbing her temples, she turned and sat down on the only chair available.

"Are you alright, Nalu-san?"

Sighing, Nami looked up at Sanji, who was frowning down at her softly. "I'm fine … Just irritated … I knew this was going to be hard to do …"

Luffy pouted and shifted his eyes away from her. "But the clothes women wear is ridiculous."

"It's not!"

"It is!"

A man watched the group from a distance and had seen all four of the women surrounding the one man. He had thought there had been a second man. Looking around, he spotted him some distance away, looking through the clothes idly. However, the orange haired man seemed to draw the most attention from the beautiful women.

"Lucky bastard …"

"Did you say something, dear?"

The man twitched as he slowly turned to his wife's glare. "N-N-No, of course not!"

After Zoro had finally decided on some cargo pants and Capri's with a few shirts he was satisfied with, it was finally Usopp's turn. Going inside nervously, he closed the curtain and began to try them on. After awhile of silence from inside, he finally spoke up.

"Mm … Nalu …?"

Sighing, Nami stood up to go to the curtain. "What is it?"

"Mm … they don't fit me …"

"Are they too tight …?"

"Uh … no … They're … too loose …"

"Eh?" Blinking, Nami stared at the curtain in some confusion. "T-Too loose?"

"A-Un …"

After while, Usopp finally opened the curtain and frowned at her. Nami could only blink at him in astonishment. The clothes did indeed look baggy against his small frame.

"Uh … I'll see if I can find some other clothes for you …" Nami said as she frowned at him.

Not only did he lack a figure, but his breasts were also lacking. Nami went back to look for more clothes, wondering exactly what would fit his little girl frame. After awhile of looking, Nami finally found some she thought might fit him. Going back, she then went up to him and handed them to him.

"Here, try these instead."

Nodding, Usopp took them and then went back in to try them. After he'd tried on the first, he then smiled. "It fits!"

Sighing in relief, Nami then smiled. "Good …"

After finding out the rest fit as well, it was then Sanji's turn. Instead of sticking around to wait, Nami took the rest of the clothes and placed them onto the counter to prepare to pay. She had also figured out the rest of the guys' shoe size and had found reasonable shoes that wouldn't be hard for them to walk in, Luffy, of course, having chosen sandals to wear. Zoro had found some decent boots to wear, and Usopp being fine with some shoes Nami'd chosen for him.

After awhile, Sanji came out with a change of clothes. "Ah! What do you think, Nalu-san?!"

Turning, Nami then blinked at Sanji before a brow slowly quirked. He was just in the door way of the fitting room with his hands propped on his hips. He was wearing a mini skirt with a long sleeve buttoned up shirt with stripes down it and even a tie.

"A skirt?!"

Sanji chuckled at the guys' response. He leaned back against the door frame of the fitting room, and then propped his leg against the other side, running his hands over his smooth skin.

"A lady should never be afraid to show off her amazing legs!"

Some of the men in the store's jaws dropped to the floor as they gaped at Sanji, some having to cover their nose with their hands.

"What the fuck?!"

Nami's eyes widened before she quickly whirled around. 'What the fuck is right?!'

"Oi, Sana! Are you serious?!"

"Of course I am!"

"You are going way too far with this!!"

"Shut it, chicken legs! You're just jealous you don't look half as good as I do!"

"I am not jealous!"

"Eh?" Sanji blinked at Nami's turned back. "You alright, Nalu-san?"

Nami raised a hand, but didn't turn. "I-I'm just f-fine! Can we just get out of here please?!"

"Eh?" Luffy also questioned as he turned to look at Nami.

"Ah, of course, Nalu-san!" Sanji exclaimed before quickly going back into the fitting room.

Once Sanji came back out with his clothes selection, Nami had finally regained her sanity from this crazy trip. With a sigh, she drooped a bit as she faced them all. "Okay, one last thing on the list we need to get you guys, and that's underwear."

"I am not wearing women's underwear!"

"But you can't wear men's underwear under such tight clothes!" She said in a loud whisper, and frowned at Zoro for speaking so loudly.

"I don't wanna wear women's underwear either! I don't wear underwear anyways!"

"Eh?!" Nami exclaimed as she gaped at Luffy, a slight blush forming over her nose.

"Ah, I have to agree. I do not wish to wear undergarments."

Nami turned to Sanji with furrowed brows. "Wha-What? Why?!"

"It has always been a dream of mine for all women everywhere to be free of such things!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Sanji turned to Zoro with a frown. "No woman should cover themselves with such things."

"Pervert …"

"Shut it! I just choose to be free is all!"

"A-Are you sure you wanna do that with a skirt though?" Nami asked as she frowned at Sanji.

"I'll be fine."

Sighing deeply, Nami then turned to Usopp. "What about you?"

Usopp held up both hands. "I … I don't f-feel comfortable wearing women's panties …"

Nami sighed again. "Fine … I guess that saves us some money then …"

Robin chuckled at them all, figuring they would have probably felt that way. "So then shall we pay and go?"

"Aa … we can go now …" Nami said as she turned to the same woman from earlier and smiled, causing her to blush.

xxxx

After paying for everything, each carried their own bags as they walked back to the ship.

"I think we did pretty good considering." Nami said as she looked over the receipts from their purchases.

"I agree … They actually had a lot of pants … even if they were tight … Shirts weren't that bad either …"

Nami turned to Zoro with a smile. "See?"

"Mm …"

"I guess the shorts aren't so bad … and I at least found some good shirts! This one I'm wearing with the weird hat that actually fits over my straw-hat is cool!"

"It's called a hood, Luffy."

They were just far enough away from anyone for them not to hear their conversation.

"Ah, whatever!"

"Puh …" Nami's eyes narrowed from his reply. "Well, in any case, I liked the clothes I got too."

"Ah, we never got to see them though, Nami-san."

"Mm … I guess not. I will put one on once we get back anyways."

"Ah! I would like to see you in them, Nami-swan! And you as well, Robin-chwan!"

Robin only smiled at Sanji. However, as they walked, Nami looked up with a hum. "Mm?"

Blinking, she tilted her head, hearing it before she saw it. However, then her eyes widened as she quickly turned to Sanji. "Sanji!"

"Eh?"

However, it was too late. A large gust of wind swept past them, lifting Sanji's skirt up with it. "Aah!"

Dropping his bags, he quickly lowered his skirt, his eyes as wide as can be, and his skin pale. Nami frowned deeply as she bit her lip. Robin only frowned as she brought a finger to her lips. The guys' eyes were huge, having turned at Nami's scream to him. Sanji seemed to finally be calming down, until the first one sounded. A high pitched whistle could be heard to the side. With a gasp, Sanji quickly looked over to see a man with a huge grin on his face.

"Woo! Nice!"

Sanji quickly looked to his other side to see a few more men grinning or leering at him. His eyes widened again as he inhaled and sweat began to bead down his face. Nami looked around at all the men and frowned deeply in a gape before looking back at Sanji, who looked completely mortified. Then suddenly, his face turned into a scowl and tears seemed to form in his eyes. Nami as well as the guys looked completely surprised by the tears.

"You shitty jerks!! How dare you!!"

However, this only seemed to stimulate the whistles and cat calls as well as many other profound calls. Sanji immediately lunged forward, but was stopped just in time as Nami grabbed for him.

"Shut up!! I oughta kick all your asses!!"

Nami frowned as she held Sanji to her tightly as he struggled against her and continued to scream angrily at them. "You assholes!!"

"Woo! She's got quite the mouth and temper!"

"I like her spirit!"

More tears formed in his eyes in his frustration as Nami began to pull him towards the ship. "Let me go, Nami-san! I'm going to tear them all apart!!"

They all began to laugh at this. "Aww! How cute! She wants to fight us!!"

"Haha, some lady!"

Sanji inhaled sharply as his eyes widened in horror by their words and his brows furrowed deep, which caused some of his bunched up tears to fall. "You shitty assholes!!" He screamed as he scowled deeply, his tears falling freely now.

The guys all frowned as they watched Sanji struggle against Nami as she tried to carry him back to the ship before they turned and gave the men deadly glares. Nami turned a frown to them as Sanji screeched in her arms.

"Guys don't … Let's just get back to the ship …"

The men were surprised by the deadly vibe two of the women in particular gave them before they obeyed the one man and followed him back towards the harbor along with the other man who'd been with them. It had even caused some to shiver in slight fear. Their glares had been extremely deadly.

After some distance, Sanji finally relaxed in Nami's arms, or rather drooped as he kept his head lowered.

After awhile, he finally spoke, but very quietly. "It's okay, Nami-san … You can put me down now …"

She looked down at him unsurely for awhile before setting him down on his feet. He straightened his clothes before pulling out a cigarette and placing it into his mouth. The dream he had, had just happened to him in the most unfortunate of ways. He had seen firsthand the humiliation and now wished it upon no woman. He had to think of the irony in this situation. He turned and began to walk ahead of them.

'It's my own fault …'

To Be Continued …
