Summary: Luffy and Nami are separated from the ship in the middle of an ice storm. Can Luffy and Nami survive on a supposed uninhabited island before it's too late? Read to find out!


You're right...it was a short first two chapters, but that's only because I split the second chapter up into two parts. I didn't really want to make a huge long chapter or anything like that. I think it's going good so far, so I'm going to keep on going! Enjoy!

Luffy's hand slowly inched toward Usopp's plate as he talked with Chopper. He quickly tried swiping his bacon strips, but Chopper saw him and move the plate out of reach - instead, Luffy grabbed Usopp's bag. Frowning and pulling his arm away, everyone saw his torture. Nami was eating one of her tangerines, those of which she let NO ONE touch, and Luffy even tried to swipe that from her. It didn't work, however. He had quickly retracted his arm back to him when he found a fork suddenly appear between his thumb and forefinger. Nami grinned to herself in satisfaction and continued to eat her sweet tangerine.

Finally, when everyone was more or less halfway through their plate of food, Sanji set an enormous dish in front of Luffy and everyone watched as he pigged out almost immediately. Nami rolled her eyes. "Can't you at least show some manners?" Nami asked as she bit into her second tangerine.

Luffy seemed to not have heard her and simply continued to eat. Zoro and Chopper rolled their eyes while Franky, Brooke, and Robin just ignored them all. Brooke was singing to himself in a soft melody, and Sanji was trying to flirt and get on Robin's good side. All in all, the dinner was normal. Well, as normal as it got anyway.

Nami sighed in contentment as she smiled at the peels on her plate. She didn't have a very big appetite, but she sure could eat the heck out of her tangerines. She looked over at everyone else - everyone was pretty much in the same boat. Well, the guys still ate twice - or in Luffy's case, three - times as much as the girls, but they were all full by the end of the meal. Nami was the first to stand and throw away her peels. Luffy was the second, him getting rid of his bones and leftovers. The others, however, were too full and content to really move, so they made idle chit chat. "I'm going up to the deck to make sure we're still on track."

Luffy shrugged and just followed her out. Everyone shrugged as well, or at least, Zoro did, the others didn't seem to have heard her seeing as how they were still chatting away. Nami made it to the deck and Luffy was right beside her. He still had her scarf, which Nami was really regretting for giving up, because now, the wind was insanely cold and hardly bearable. She looked at her compass and then at her log pose, making sure they were still on track. When she nodded in satisfaction, she turned and looked at Luffy.

"What's wrong, Luffy?" Nami asked.

Luffy blinked and turned to her. "Nothing," he said, "I just...I don't know. Today's been kind of mellow. Kind of like them people that says 'the calming that settles the storm' or whatever."

"That's 'the calm before the storm', Luffy," Nami said, "and you're right. The weather's been kind of strange. I'm not use to this sort of weather, and usually I can pick up real quick on what it's going to be like, but honestly, I can't make anything of it."

"Yeah," Luffy said, looking out at the sea. "Maybe we should drop-ow!" He exclaimed.

Nami had turned for a brief second, "What's wrong? What happened?" She looked at him to see that he was rubbing his head.

"I dunno- something hit me in the head," Nami looked around - there wasn't anyone on the deck because everyone was down in the dining room. There wasn't even any evidence of him being hit at all.

"Maybe it was your imagin-ow!" She squealed when she got smacked in the back of the head with something hard. She looked down and saw a chunk of ice land on the floor. "What the - is that hail?"

"Nami, you shouldn't cuss," Luffy said, "it's not good for a lady."

"You've been talking to much with Sanji," Nami said, looking up at the sky, "and I didn't say HELL I said HAIL."

"What's the difference?" Nami face-palmed before she was hit in the arm with another piece of ice.

"Quick, Luffy, tell the others we need to get everything inside and turn the ship westward," Nami said, gripping the rail.

Luffy nodded. He noticed that the waters were beginning to move. It was as if they were becoming angry or something. Or at least, that's what he thought.

Soon enough, Franky was up on deck, turning the ship hard right. "Too much, too much!" Nami said, and the boat stopped turning. "That's good, right there!" She exclaimed when he got it right. She could see everyone on deck doing their best to get everything inside before everything was destroyed. She could see Sanji tangled in a bunch of ropes and Robin trying to get him out of it. Sanji was trying to hold an umbrella with one hand and carry things with the other so that he didn't get pelted with the now thick ice balls. She could see Luffy barking orders at everyone. He didn't seem to happy, but then again, who would if you were constantly getting hit with ice balls in the head. He had even put his staw hat over his head to cushion some of the ice pieces that hit him.

Nami gasped when she was hit particularly hard in the ear. She rubbed her ear in an effort to soothe the slight pain she had felt before it went away and she made her way down stairs. Nami went again to the railing and looked overboard. There weren't any icebergs or anything, so they were good. Luffy ran up to her side and yelled over the ice that was pelting the wooden structure of Sunny, "Any orders Navigator?"

"None right now," Nami said, trying to keep her eyes open from the strong gusts of blowing in her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but the ship suddenly gave a violent lurch to the left, sending Nami back toward the rail and Luffy stumbling right into her. With the combined force, they both yelled as the toppled over the edge. Luffy, with wide eyes, tried to think fast, but everything was going in such a fast motion, he didn't really have time to think.

Everyone was busy fulfilling the Captain's and Navigator's orders, they didn't see both of them go flying over the edge. Everyone had been knocked over or stumbling to stay upright. That is, until Robin screamed, "Nami! Luffy!" Everyone looked at her and where she was pointing. Everyone quickly ran over to the edge, but when they got there, Luffy and Nami were nowhere in sight. All that was left was the rippling of the water and the waves.

"What do we do?" Robin exclaimed over the ice.

"Do as the captain and Nami said!" Zoro exclaimed, "Franky! You had your orders! Keep us going in the same direction! Everyone else, go ahead and get inside. Franky! When the ship steadies, come inside, too!" Everyone made their way into the dining room. Zoro looked one last time to where he saw Luffy and Nami standing last. There wasn't anything he could do. Luffy had unknowingly made him second in command of the ship, so he had to take care of everyone else. He just hoped Nami was able to save Luffy from drowning.


I kinda had a hard time typing up this chapter. Every time I saved the stupid document, it did something funny and I had to retype it. I decided to go ahead and update a third chapter - my ideas are flowing in like crazy! And so far, I think it's going good!

Well, I hope you liked the chapter! Review please!
