This chapter is a bit boring… Though I promise the next one will be better. x)

It hadn't taken long till the caravel vessel Paulina started to move. The darkness was suffocating, the only comfort coming from the loud voices within the galley. The siblings sat on the wooden floor in silence before Nojiko whispered,

"Where do you think they are heading?"

Nami looked at Nojiko with a blank look, "I know as much as you do on this ship."

"Say do you want to put up watches?" Nojiko muttered.

"What do you mean?" Nami inquired.

"So we don't get caught. Someone takes the day watch and the other takes the night watch. That kind of thing." Nojiko explained.

"… Sure but can we not do that today? Because its only morning right now and we both are fully rested," Nami looked at Nojiko hopefully.

Nojiko smirked, "You still scared of the dark?"

"Am not!"

Nojiko looked at Nami doubtfully before sighing, "You still remember how we got our bounties?"

Nami looked at Nojiko quizzically, "Of course how could I not?"

"We were pretty stupid back then. Thinking we could steal from anyone who seemed to have what we needed."

"I guess but how else could we survive? I mean we learn the hard way that money doesn't fall off trees…" Nami hesitated, "Both times…"

"Yeah… But that was really dumb of us, stealing from a noble with marines around every corner," Nojiko mumbled, "that was just begging to get the marines attention."

"They didn't even know it was gone till a minute later. Then it was all like, 'Oh no! Some fucking thief stole my precious wallet it was lined with gold to!' and when we put it on the floor after we took out all the money 'Ew it's all filthy I don't want it anymore lets go buy a new one'" Nami said doing a bad impersonation.

Nojiko giggled. Nami smiled and leaned her head on her sister's shoulder.

"Then the marines caught us… it was our first fight, we kicked and screamed… I was nearly taken away if you hadn't kicked that marine guy in the balls and bitten the person who was holding me. You got really mad and swore at them and said that they shouldn't follow imprudent people who are self-centred and only care how much something costs, that instead they should help the people that needed the help the marines could offer. Grabbed me and ran off," Nami retold.

Nojiko gave a small sound in her throat in agreement, "It was only 1,000,000 beli at that time and we had drawings instead of pictures. Really bad ones at that to. They should have hired a better artist. They made us look like trolls."

"Mmm…Then every time we got caught stealing from someone wealthy it rose in number 2,000,000, 3,000,000 and at 4,000,000 beli we got a proper picture. It was when we were running away from that village, what was it called?" Nami included.

"I think it was Suiren village" Nojiko concluded.

"Yup that's it."

ON THE MOBY DICK (WHITEBEARD CREW) - New World-

"God damn it how many people do we have to fight today. That was the fifth crew already- yoi!" Marco shouted in irritancy flinging his hands in the air.

Whitebeard only laughed. Ace looked irritated and Thatch grinned.

"Marco stop having a tantrum. You're not a little kid. Or are you?"

"Shut the hell up Thatch-yoi!" Marco turned to him glaring.

"What's gotten you so worked up anyway? It's nothing new that we have to fight so much every day," Ace questioned.

Marco was silent.

"My point. You probably just have to go and have a walk on an island or something. We have been on the sea for a while now."

"Probably-yoi…" Marco muttered.

Whitebeard looked at his sons in front of him. Suddenly his observation haki detected the News Coo and only a couple of seconds later did the newspaper land on his lap. Unfolding the dreary paper he started to read the headlines.

"What's new?" Thatch asked.

"Nothing much. Rookies are setting out to sea and such." Whitebeard said.

"Luffy's not on the list I presume? His birthday's on the 5th of May. Its only February."

Whitebeard looked through the new wanted posters, "… No it seems he isn't here."

"Good or else I would have to go to where he is and beat some sense into him because he didn't keep his promise."

NAMI AND NOJIKO ON PAULINA –somewhere on the Grand Line- (Same Day)

"Hey Nojiko?"

"Yes Nami?"

"I have to go to the toilet…"

"Now?"

"Yes…"

The siblings had been sitting in the dark storeroom for the whole day without too much complications. Occasionally a crewmember would come in and take something out of a crate or barrel and walk out again. The kitchen behind the door was silent. Eavesdropping from when the galley was in use they guessed it was late afternoon. Knowing from experience that cooks never really took a break from preparing meals it was risky to go out now.

The chiefs would come back from eating in the dining room, wash all the dishes and begin making dinner. Nojiko sighed. This was going to happen sooner or later and she had to go as well.

"Fine lets sneak to the door and hope that the cooks are still stuffing their faces or another pirate ship comes along so they get distracted." Said Nojiko.

"Mm," Nami hummed in agreement already standing up.

Feeling their way to the door. They paused and listened. Nothing. Not a sound. Slowly they opened the door a crack. Still nothing. They opened the door wider only to find the kitchen void of life. Carefully they walked through the galley to the hallway. They could hear faint cheering and clanking of the crews feast. Quickly they made a beeline to the bathroom, which they had previously spotted when looking for the galley.

Just before they entered the door opened and out walked a half drunken man.

"Who the hell are you? I haven't seen you around deck before," He slurred.

CRACK! Nojiko punched him in the stomach making him fall unconscious.

"Oi Nojiko!" Nami hissed.

Nojiko didn't answer she only grabbed the man under the armpits and dragged him to the sink,

"You go. I will stay guard at the door."

Nami nodded. When she finished the siblings swapped roles.

"Let's get back," Nojiko proposed.

"Ah,"

As carefully as they came they left. Only the drunk man lying in next to the sink was evidence of anything happening but that could be covered up by him passing out because he had too much to drink. If he remembered anything they were definitely screwed.

Done~ I don't really know what to think about this chapter. ( -_-') I guess you could call it a filler but it's more of a wasting time thing because it takes quite a lot of time for pirates to get to Sabaody Archipelago and most barely get to the New World…

I hope I answered some people's questions on how Nami and Nojiko got their bounties though. Yes… It was a crappy reason but we all know how retarded the nobles in One Piece can be.

SPOILER?

This not including Sabo who was a noble
