"Shishi! Look, Nami! This one's really tiny!" Luffy held up the smallest seashell he found.
"Looks like the size of your brain," murmured Nami. She narrowed her eyes to the huge pile of seashells they found within the last ten minutes. Most of them, Luffy had dug up on his own. Nami chuckled. "Don't you think we have enough seashells?"
"No! We need to look for more!"
"How do you think we'll bring all of this back to the ship then?"
"We'll bring the ship here."
Nami sighed. He was acting like a kid again. She stretched her feet out and leaned back on her arms. It was a beautiful day and they had already achieved their goal. Usopp sent them out to find a bunch of seashells for a gadget he was working on. They completed that task five minutes ago. Luffy picked out more for the fun of it.
"Nami! Come to the water with me!" Luffy called out while running to the water. Nami's eyes widened.
"Wait, Luffy! You can't go into the water!" She ran after her boyfriend into the ocean.
Nami hauled Luffy back onto shore when his adrenaline rush finally died down when the water reached his waist. She panted for air, but had enough strength to slap him upside the head.
"Baka! You know you can't swim!"
Luffy bursted out laughing. "Sorry. I just wanted to see if you'd come in and save me."
"Of course I would, idiot!" Nami sighed and ran a hand through her dampened hair. "I guess we should-"
"Nami, look." Luffy pointed to a trail of crabs making their way to a large boulder. He jumped back on his feet and followed them.
"Wait, Luffy..!" The Straw Hat captain climbed on top of the boulder. He peeked over the other side and gasped.
"Oi, Na-"
Nami stared at the boulder with a blank expression. She didn't even bother to move when Luffy fell over it and landed on the other side where all the crabs resided. When a few minutes passed by, Luffy has yet to pop his head over the boulder. She sighed and got to her feet. It wasn't like he was eaten alive. When she peeked over the boulder, she proved herself wrong.
When he noticed her presence, Luffy turned around while donning a huge grin. "Yo, Nami! What do you think?"
His girlfriend facepalmed. Every single one of the crabs had clung onto every inch of his body, turning him into a huge crab man.
"Luffy.. doesn't that hurt?"
"Yea, but isn't this cool! Now, I'm the crab man! Fear me!" Luffy tried to walk away, but he was afraid that if he bended his knees, the crabs would detach themselves. Instead, he waddled.
Nami shook her head. "Still a kid."
A Happy Birthday to Luffy! ... And Happy Children's Day in Japan (:
New Goal: ending this One Shots series as soon as possible. The final chapter will be Chapter 50. After that, I will release my new story I've been working so hard on.
