Chapter 17: He Feels Pain and Anger

Ace slowly made his way after Luffy, not really sure his younger brother wanted to look at or talk to anyone at the moment, but he had to at least try. "Luffy..."

"What?" he muttered, not bothering to turn around.

Sighing then, Ace took a seat in the stool next to him. In all honesty, what was he supposed to say? He was sure his brother hadn't actually expected to fall in love with the girl, or vice versa, though it seemed his brother had no idea the girl felt the same about him... Well... did... He hummed with a sigh, the bartender passing him a drink without him asking for it. He did love the bar there. "M-Maybe... she'll calm down... and..." What the hell was he saying? "Look, I'm sorry," he finally said with another sigh as he looked down, "but... you know Gramps."

"Yeah," Luffy said and stared into his drink, "which is why I never should have brought her here."

"Either way, Gramps would have gotten the truth out of you, Luffy. You're the worst liar alive," Ace said softly, frowning into the wood of the bar.

"Could have lied for her," he muttered, taking another sip from his very potent drink.

"Lied for her? How? Gramps would have still made the same decision. He has ways of finding out shit-you know that. There was no escaping this," Ace said before taking a deep gulp from his drink. Then he closed his eyes with a sigh and whispered, "It was inevitable... the moment she refused to pay." He slowly opened his eyes again and took another drink.

"Could have just left her..." Luffy muttered as he emptied his drink and asked for another one from the bartender.

"And come back empty handed?" Ace asked, downing the rest of his as the bartender placed another one in front of him and another for Luffy.

"Could have taken other jobs..."

"Well... there's no sense in thinking about what you could have done, and I doubt you thought about that, because you weren't in love with her yet," Ace muttered, feeling pretty shitty for his little brother. Quite frankly, he was still confused how he managed to get the girl to fall in love with him.

Luffy didn't say anything. Love... huh? Couldn't be... It hurt too much. Love was supposed to be a good thing, not something painful like this.

"In any case, you should try talking to her again... after she's calmed down," Ace replied softly before downing his second glass. "You might also want to talk to the rest of those people... explain what happened."

"Don't wanna," Luffy muttered and accepted a third drink. How the hell was he supposed to explain this?

"Doesn't matter if you don't 'wanna', Luffy. It's, you 'gotta'. This is, after all, your responsibility," Ace replied as he slid out of his stool and gently placed a hand on Luffy's shoulder before walking away.

Luffy stayed at the bar. He knew what he had to do... but... not now...

Nami felt so completely empty as she stared out at the people walking up and down the street from what she could see from within the alley. The hiccups had finally ceased, but now she just lay on Nojiko's shoulder, feeling so incredibly empty.

Merry turned the corner into the alley and trotted up to Nami. He snorted and leaned down, nuzzling her hair.

Gasping and blinking in surprise, Nami quickly looked up at Merry. "M-Merry? Wha...?" she questioned, but then she smiled, tears coming into her eyes again as she hugged the horse. "Oh, Merry... Were you worried about me?" she whispered, stroking his jaw tenderly as she hugged his head.

Had he arms, Merry would have returned the hug. Instead, he settled for rubbing his head against hers with a snort in reply. Nami couldn't help it as her smile grew, and soon she was giggling. She couldn't help but to be greatly comforted by the horse.

Nojiko patted the horse's head and said, "Well, at least it's not all bad. You still got Merry."

Sniffling, Nami leaned back to pet over Merry's face a nose. "You really are a good boy, aren't you?" she whispered softly, still laughing and crying at the same time.

Merry nodded and snorted again.

Nojiko laughed and said, "It's almost like he understands what you say."

Nami was smiling widely, but then lost it slowly. "Luffy," she swallowed hard, looking down again before continuing, "said that, Merry can understand most words. He's... not an ordinary horse," she explained, looking up at Merry. "Merry is a magic horse."

"Really?" Nojiko asked as she scratched Merry's ears, and looked him in the eye. "What kind of magic?"

"Don't know," Nami answered honestly, "but I do know that he's abnormally fast, and that," she smiled again with a pause, "he can appear behind you even though he was right in front of you only a second before that," she giggled softly, "You remember that, Merry? I'm sorry for..." She lost her smile again, but her eyes shifted down quickly before up again, "trying to pit you against your master," she whispered this last part, petting Merry tenderly.

Merry licked her cheek, as if to say, "It's all right."

Nojiko looked at her sister sadly. She could tell that her memories of the mage were giving her pain. She, herself, was feeling conflicted.

Nami smiled again at the lick and said with a soft chuckle, "I need to find you an apple." She then leaned in to kiss his nose and whispered, "Will you come with me?"

Merry nodded.

"All right, let's go then," Nami said, still smiling as she stood before turning to her sister. "Shall we then?" she asked, holding out a hand to her.

"Of course," Nojiko said, taking Nami's hand and walking out with her. She would wait to ask what exactly had happened.

Nami pressed her palm gently onto Merry's neck as they walked out, and looking around, she tried to find some kind of produce stand. "Let's go this way!" she said, trying to keep her smile bright. She wouldn't waste the good feeling Merry had given her.

Merry nudged Nami's back, guiding her to a produce stand that he knew of.

"Ooh, so you know where to go then, Merry?" Nami asked, beginning to laugh as she let the horse guide her.

Merry nodded, and led them down the streets, finally coming to a produce stand, that he pointed at with his nose.

"Ooh, I bet you know this whole place very well, don't you, Merry?" Nami asked, beaming to the horse before asking the woman behind the counter for five apples and then paid her the copper pieces for them.

Merry nodded emphatically and licked his lips at the apples.

"You must know all the best places for fruits and vegetables don't you, boy?" Nojiko asked and ruffled his mane. Merry again just nodded.

Nami handed Nojiko one of the apples and then held one out for Marry, placing the other two in a pocket in her dress before eating her own apple, the other two saved away just for Merry as she began walking with them again.

Merry ate the apple out of Nami's hand, smiling with his eyes as he ate.

Nojiko munched on her own apple as they walked and looked about them at all the shops and people. "So," she said, loathing bringing up a touchy subject, "now what are we going to do?"

Wrapping her arm under Merry's throat and bringing it up the other side as she leaned her head against his, Nami then shrugged and said, "I don't know. I guess... I just work until... Luffy's grandfather is satisfied." After she finished her apple, she held up another one for Merry.

Merry took the apple from her hand, chewing thoughtfully.

"I see," Nojiko said, looking and sounding thoughtful. "Is that what happened? Luffy's grandfather didn't accept your deal?"

"That's right," Nami replied softly, looking down to the ground.

"I'm sorry, honey," Nojiko said and gripped Nami's hand. "You must feel terrible, especially after how you and Luffy were starting to get along better."

Nami stiffened, her hand clenching Nojiko's tightly for a split second and even her face seemed to pale slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about," she replied very quickly.

"Don't do that," Nojiko insisted. "I know how you feel about him... How you were beginning to feel about him."

"I don't want to talk about it!" Nami said, a bit more forcefully than she had meant to, a crack of lightning flashing across the sky, which caused a few people to look above in confusion.

"You know you trusted him," Nojiko continued. "Especially after what happened... You trusted him enough to feel safe around him, when men were getting too close to you."

Nami stopped then, her head still lowered and her eyes out of sight behind her bangs. "I said... I don't... want to talk about it," she said, her voice quiet, though the thunder wasn't.

"Nami," Nojiko gripped her by her shoulders, "don't do that. I'm your sister. Your older sister. You trusted him, and then he betrayed that trust. But you didn't see him after you'd left. I saw it; in his expression. He didn't want any of what happened back at the guild."

Nami slowly drifted towards Merry, pressing her face into his shoulder. Still, her eyes could not be seen behind her bangs. "Nojiko... please," she whispered now, pleading with her sister.

Nojiko sighed deeply, and finally, she nodded. "When you're ready... Don't worry, everything will work out just fine."

Luffy was drunk. Not enough to pass out, but enough to dull his emotions, when he went looking for the rest of the group. When he found them, he took a deep breath and walked towards them. Luffy noted that, Robin wasn't there, having gone to the library earlier in the day to start her research. It wasn't like she needed to hear it anyway, seeing as she'd suspected something similar would happen. Gen frowned deeply when he saw the boy approaching, and Zoro couldn't help the one he held either. Sanji, however, just glared at Luffy.

Luffy began to speak, though his voice was emotionless. "Nami will be staying here."

Gen's eyes turned to slits as he glared at Luffy and stood up. "What do you mean, boy?" he asked in a voice verging on rage.

"She'll be staying here, at the guild, 'til she works off the debt owed by your village to the guild. That was the Guild Master's decision," Luffy replied, and did not meet any of their gazes.

Sanji's eyes narrowed, white hot rage filling him, but he said nothing, allowing Gen to do the talking... for now.

"Guild Master's decision!?" Gen bellowed, his face turning red with rage. "Did you bother to mention you destroyed our village, or that she worked up money to pay your sorry ass!?"

Zoro closed his eyes and looked away. He could tell the mage didn't like the decision at all, but it wasn't up to him. He knew how guilds worked, which was one of the reasons he'd not actually joined one. Sure, you could make loads more money, depending on the respectability of a guild, and this one was pretty much at the top, but it could be quite harsh if you don't honor the contract.

"Yes," Luffy said, "I mentioned all of it." It wasn't like there was anything he could do.

Sanji rushed forward, and grabbed Luffy by the front of his robe. "Where the hell is this guild master? I'll force him to set Nami free!"

"You couldn't beat me at my weakest," Luffy said and glared, almost hatefully to the blonde man. "You don't stand a chance against him."

"Why you...!"

"He's right, curly brow," Zoro said, still with his eyes closed. "I've heard about the Guild Master here. He's no one to mess around with. If you think you could defeat a dragon with your bare hands, then... by all means, confront him. But, you knew all that already, didn't you?"

Luffy knocked Sanji's hand aside and said, "Just thought you might want to know." He then turned and walked off to his room.

Zoro sighed a bit and folded his arms behind his head. "You know, that's where they say Dragon got his name from too," He added, just for the blonde man's sake, "or didn't you know that?"

Gen seemed to just wilt. So, there was nothing they could do about it at all. Nami was stuck there ...

Sanji spit on the floor, storming off. "Che," he muttered under his breath.

They spent all evening wandering about, and it was getting rather late. After awhile, they finally decided to go back to the guild. Nami dreaded returning, and even more so, she dreaded that night. The last thing she wanted to do was sleep or even be in the same room as him. As they walked in, she looked over towards the hall, where she had told him she had hated him, the moonlight shining in through all the windows, which she had no idea had been broken only a few hours before, because each one had been repaired with magic. She then went in search of the others, not looking forward to explaining anything. She found them in the lounge, doing just that and sighed. Though, Sanji was headed in her direction already.

Seeing her, Sanji paused with a frown and called, "Ah, Nami-san..."

Keeping her head lowered and her expression a soft frown, she then walked a little further in as Gen sat upright to look at her. "Na-chan ..." he called to her, his face falling more to her expression.

"I thought... you all... at least, deserved an explanation about-about earlier... so..." she started softly.

"We... We know," Sanji said softly.

Nami's head shot up with a look of surprise, and she asked, "What?"

Gen sighed deeply as he lowered his head and closed his eyes. "The brat told us just now," he said softly, opening his eyes to stare at his lap.

Nami could only gape for awhile before her expression turned back into a soft frown, though her eyes were sad. Luffy had just been there? She just barely missed seeing him? She felt her heart pang painfully, but refused to acknowledge it, and then she whispered, "Oh... I see.."

"Nami-san," Sanji called and placed a hand on her shoulder, "we'll find a way to get you out of this, I promise."

She sighed then and shook her head. "No, you won't," she admitted truthfully. "It's... all right. Don't worry about me. I'm sorry that I lied to you from the beginning, and thank you for helping Nojiko and Gen-san to find me, but you don't have to stay here, Sanji-kun," she said, still keeping her head lowered. "You can return to wherever it was... where you were."

"I don't have anywhere to go to," Sanji said and smiled to her. "I will stand by your side through this. You have my word."

Luffy had doubled back, when he heard Nami's voice. Seeing Sanji with her like that, filled him with an unreasonable rage. He scowled and glared at the other man. White flashing before his eyes, he turned around and stormed off.

"Oh," Nami replied and then attempted to smile. "Thank you," she said before sighing again. "I'm tired so... I was wondering if you guys moved our things yet."

"Yes, we did. They gave us each a room to ourselves... even you, Na-chan. I can show you," Gen said, smiling at her softly.

"Yes, thank you," Nami said, following Gen.

Sanji sighed and followed them, along with Nojiko as well as Zoro. "Shitty bastard, forcing Nami-san to be a slave," Sanji muttered with a glare, and then he popped a cigarette into his mouth to light.

"I don't think he wanted this to happen," Nojiko said, remembering the mage's face and feeling as if she should defend him.

Sanji didn't reply.

Nami didn't hear what they were saying, her own thoughts swimming around in her head. So, she would be sleeping on her own tonight, which meant Luffy wouldn't be sleeping at all. Did he know that? Had he been the one to suggest giving her, her own room? Did he know she would definitely not want to sleep with him? However, she vaguely worried about his not getting any sleep. She then shook her head, going into her room and closing the door behind her, without even saying good night.

x x x x

The next morning, Luffy knocked loudly on Nami's door. Without waiting for an answer, he opened the door and walked inside.

"Wha...?" Nami questioned, sitting up slightly with a frown before catching sight of him and paling a bit, though she frowned deeper. "What do you think you're doing?"

"We've got a job," he said roughly, standing with his arms crossed at the end of her bed.

She swallowed hard, having to force herself not to cry as she looked into his hard face and suddenly wishing it would go back to the soft smile. "Fine... Now get out so I can change," she said, shifting her red and watering eyes away from him so he wouldn't see.

"Fine," he said, leaving the room. "Hurry up!" he called harshly, just before slamming the door shut. Once outside, he clamped his eyes shut, forcing the tears in. Her expression had broken his heart, but that time had passed. She hated him now, and it was probably better that way.

She jumped at the door being slammed behind him, yelping softly as a hand clamped over her mouth and more tears quickly gathered, but then she wiped them away quickly to change. When she was done, she had numbed herself. Her expression held no emotion, whatsoever. She was just empty. She realized that it was going to be like this for all the time, that she would work to pay off her debt. She opened the door and stepped out, not bothering to lift her head.

Ace watched them both from a distance down the hall, and his eyes drifted down a bit into a softer frown. The light, that had been in her eyes, when he'd first met her was gone, and his brother looked like one of those dragons he'd thought he'd face one day. Perhaps he should talk to his grandfather about this. It was different this time. She wasn't just some client anymore. But even so, he didn't think Luffy would like that much. He had to just wait for Luffy to find the way and courage to do it himself.

"Let's go," Luffy said and didn't look at her, as he led her out of the guild. After walking for awhile, they came to a building quite a ways out of the city proper, in one of the outlying villages, which had been ransacked.

Nami frowned as she slowly approached the house and looked around it, but when she stepped inside, her face paled, and she had to stifle a scream. She turned and quickly ran out. Once outside, she breathed heavily, feeling as bile rose up in her throat. "Mm!" she exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth.

Luffy went inside and looked disinterestedly at the body. "Any clues as to who's responsible for this?" Luffy asked and turned to one of the city guard.

"Only this," the man said as he nodded to the body. "When we found the body, it was covered in darkness... thick darkness, like it was tar."

"I see," Luffy said with a nod and left the house.

Nami refused to go back inside, her face still devoid of color and sick to her stomach. The man's eyes had still been opened, and they were opened wide, as if he'd been terrified when he had died. A hand went up to her mouth again as tears came to her eyes. She had only seen death once before, and she did not want to be reminded of it.

Luffy walked over to Nami and said, "I think I might have an idea who did this. We have to find the murderer. Five thousand gold."

"Fine, let's just get this over with," she muttered, dropping her hand and walking back over to Merry to lean on. She still felt so nauseous.

"Right," Luffy muttered, "I think I might know where his hideout is." After both mounted Merry again, he then took her back towards the city, heading towards a seedier part of town.

"I don't like it here," Nami whispered with a frown as she looked around them.

"Too bad," Luffy muttered in a voice lacking emotion. They came to a decrepit looking old dive, and Luffy climbed off the horse, not bothering to offer Nami his help in getting down.

Nami turned to look at Luffy's back, her face falling slightly as she tried not to cry again. "Whatever... Let's just hurry," she whispered to herself, climbing off from Merry by herself.

Luffy kicked the door in and stepped into the building. It was dark and smoke filled on the inside. Something about this darkness, though, wasn't natural. "I know you're in here, Teach!" Luffy yelled into the darkness.

"T-Teach ...?" Nami whispered, looking inside and not liking how it made her feel at all.

"Well, well, well... If it isn't the old man's grandson. So nice of you to drop by, Luffy," a voice called from inside before a nasty laugh could be heard from within, "Zehahahaha!"

"Get out here so I can kick your ass Teach! We know what you did," Luffy said, his eyes on alert as they shifted all around.

A big, fat man with a few missing teeth came lumbering out from the darkness with a grin on his face, though there was nothing pleasant about it. "Kick my ass, you say?"

"Kick your ass, get a big fat pay check, and be back in time for breakfast," Luffy said and smirked, feeling agitated and cocky. He cracked his knuckles and pulled his arm back.

"Zehahahahaha!" the man burst into laughter, his stomach bouncing as he did, which made Nami cringe away, instinctively moving behind Luffy. "And who have we here?" he asked, smirking right at Nami, who had already moved behind Luffy.

"No one important," Luffy said and stepped away from Nami towards Teach. "Just someone working off a debt to the guild."

Nami stiffened completely as her breath was sucked in sharply, and her entire body felt like it was slowly turning to ice. It took a lot of extra effort for her not to cry this time, though she felt her body turning hot as her anger started to grow instead. Fine, if that's the way he wanted it, then she would be more than happy to oblige. "All right, if I'm so unimportant, I'm going to wait outside," she said coldly before stepping outside quickly.

"Zehahahaha! Is that any way to talk to a girl, boy? If you think so, you're going to quickly find yourself all alone!" the big man laughed, setting the girl aside for the time being.

"I don't need advice from you, fat ass!" Luffy yelled, but then glanced back at Nami."And you're not going anywhere, if you want your debt to be worked off. Not like you're doing any of the work anyway."

Nami turned to him, the door still open and glared at him coldly, her eyes swimming with anger and now hatred. "Then what do you care if I stay or not, asshole!?"

"Ooh, I see... A client, who didn't pay their debt, is it? Your grandfather can be pretty merciless, can't he!?" Teach exclaimed before breaking out into more laughter.

"At least he hasn't killed anyone... yet," Luffy said and took a fighting stance. "And you don't go anywhere!" he yelled at Nami. "If you don't at least try to help, then I'll just claim this mission for myself!"

She clamped her mouth shut tightly, ready to murder someone herself. "Yeah!? I bet you would do that, you ass! I don't gather your friend here would want to step outside for a bit then!?" she yelled, and just as she did, thunder began to rumble over head.

Teach's lips curved up into a smirk, and then he said, "It's all right, darling. The youngest grandson was never the brightest. Strong, yes. Bright, no."

Luffy's eye twitched, which was becoming a chronic condition. "Shut the fuck up, and get out of there, before I blow your whole fucking den away!"

Nami's eyes widened as she blinked at Luffy's back, her jaw dropping slightly. Teach just laughed, finding it all very amusing as he walked out a bit more. "Blow my whole fucking den away, you say? All right then, make me, genius," he said, smirking very nastily then.

Luffy took a deep breath. He was exhausted from not getting any sleep last night. He was also in a horrible mood, though he had recovered enough energy over the past few days. Biting into the thumb of his left hand, he blew, inflating his right fist to gigantic proportions. "Gear! Third!" he yelled, and then he punched the whole broken down bar.

This only seemed to make Teach laugh harder instead of getting mad, and a darkness began to emerge from the man. Nami gasped and backed away to Luffy's attack as well as the darkness. Maybe this was a bit more out of her league. However, she would try her best anyways.

Most of the building was destroyed, but Luffy's fist was stopped short by Teach, who remained immobile. The man continued to laugh as the darkness grew around him, and then it suddenly surged forwards towards Luffy. Luffy jumped, ducking out of the way, and used his giant fist to punch at Teach again. The darkness completely absorbed the force of Luffy's punch before it surged forward again and hit Luffy, sending him flying over Nami's head. "Kyaa!" she screamed, ducking down and holding her head with her arms.

"Damn it!" Luffy yelled as he jumped up and fired a beam of energy from his hands.

The beam merely got sucked into the darkness as it came back towards Luffy, grabbing one of his legs. "Luffy!" Nami cried as she gaped, seeing how helpless Luffy looked.

Luffy yelped and kicked at the darkness, but it wouldn't let his leg go. "Let me go!" he yelled at Teach, firing another energy beam.

"Oow!" Teach yelled as the energy beam hit him. "Aah! I forgot... I could have blocked that..."

Nami gaped up at the bigger man, backing away quickly. He was even stupider than Luffy... Frowning deeply, she then quickly stood up and muttered an incantation. "Lightning Tempo!" she cried, cutting the air with two fingers, and a crack of lightning struck down over Teach, who screamed in pain as he was electrocuted.

Luffy took the advantage to hit Teach with a spear fist, sharpened to kill. No good. His strength was waning. He really needed that sleep last night. Teach deflected him easily before coming at him with more darkness, after scowling at Nami. Nami could see, that Luffy's getting no sleep was already causing him to lose power. Bringing up her fingers, she muttered again and yelled, "Lightning Tempo!"

However, it didn't work this time as the darkness absorbed the strike, and Teach then turned his attention to Nami, after grabbing a hold of Luffy's other leg. Gasping and fear causing her eyes to grow, Nami quickly began to back away, but stumbled onto the debris. "Stay away from me!"

"You're starting to get on my nerves, little mage," Teach growled with a scowl.

"Ma-Ma-Mage?" she whispered as she blinked. She had never been called that before, and she had not really thought about it, but that's what she was now, wasn't it?

Luffy punched at Teach's head and yelled, "Damn it! You're not fighting her. I'm your opponent. Fight me!" He was breathing heavily, his strength drained from his initial Gear Third.

The punch hit him, causing Teach to double over and grab his head. "Ow, damn it!" he muttered before turning to scowl at Luffy, his head jarred a bit.

Luffy flipped Teach off and said, "Don't bother with her. You've still got me to finish off, you asshole!"

'Oye, oye, don't say it like that!' Nami seethed in her mind with a deep frown. Though, her cheeks flushed a bit to his still trying to protect her.

"You're already finished. Don't you see?" Teach sneered at him with a nasty smirk.

"Hardly," Luffy said and smirked. Turning his arms into shredding, rotating blades, he punched at Teach again.

Teach's face turned worried for a bit before darkness came up to absorb the attack, and he huffed in relief. "You little brat!" The darkness lifted Luffy up and smashed him into a building.

"Luffy!" Nami cried, running forward a bit, but Teach turned his attention on her.

"And now you..." he said, leering nastily at her.

Gasping and paling, Nami quickly tried to scamper away and cried, "Don't you come near me!"

The rubble trembled, and Luffy stood up, his aura ignited. "I...SAID...LEAVE...HER...ALONE!" He blasted Teach with what was left of his energy, and collapsed, after firing off the beam.

Caught off guard, Teach cried out loudly in pain and fell to his knees. "D-Damn it," he stuttered, breathing heavily from the pain as he tried to stand. "This ain't over yet, you little shit," he growled before disappearing into the darkness and vanishing from sight all together.

"Luffy!" Nami cried, running over towards Luffy with a pale face. "You all right?"

He blinked, his vision getting fuzzy. "Whadda... you... care...?" he muttered as he shoved her away weakly, and then he passed out.

Her lips clamped shut as tears came to her eyes. "I don't!" she cried, though she knew he couldn't hear her. Wiping at her eyes, she then whistled and called Merry over. Merry ran over to Nami, and looked down at her and his master. "Can you kneel down for me, Merry? He's too heavy for me to lift," Nami said with a soft frown to the horse. Merry, with some difficulty, kneeled down next to his master. "Thank you," Nami said, kissing Merry's head before dragging Luffy over Merry's back, and then she went to the front to help Merry stand. "Let's go home ..."

Merry stood up, careful not to drop his master, and followed Nami home.
