Nami sat under the stars enjoying her first night at sea chasing her dream. Luffy had saved her from so much and now was allowing her back on his crew. She went back to the tangerine trees she had moved onto the ship and began to lovingly go through the trees when she heard someone else in the trees. She quickly snapped open her Bo staff and lunged at the intruder. Sure enough she heard Luffy let out a surprised gasp, "Luffy I told you not to eat the tangerines!"
Luffy sat up and began to brush off the dirt from his shorts. "I know, it's just relaxing back here. Plus it smells delicious!" He said with his large grin that Nami couldn't help but smile back.
She sat down next to him and then looked up in the stars, "Why did you trust me so much? I have done nothing but betray you. When I first meet you I gave you to Buggy to pay for my mistakes!"
Luffy just gave a smile and looked up at the stars, the girl amazed that this was her same goofy captain, "You couldn't light the fuse. You didn't know Zoro would be there all you knew was that you had to light the cannon or die, and you choose a stranger over yourself. How could you be a bad person?"
Nami gave a small sigh and then leaned against her captain, "You know Zoro would never trust me."
Luffy laughed then, "That's not what I heard. I heard you saved him from drowning; he knew you would save him. He just forgets sometimes."
Nami frowned then realizing her own weaknesses, "How am I ever going to be able to pay you back for everything you have done? I can't fight, I just get in the way and all I care about is money."
"Well as the future Pirate King I only expect the most out of my crew. So I want you to become the best navigator the world has ever seen and I want you to complete a map of the world. Then you can consider everything paid back."
Nami nodded and then slowly picked a tangerine and peeled it before handing it to her captain, "I want you to know that you can eat them, as long as I am here. I don't want you eating all of the tangerines and starving us, but only at night when it is just us, I don't want to deal with Sanji."
Luffy laughed then at the thought of their cook, "That stingy bastard never gives me any food."
Nami just gave her captain a look and he gave her a slightly embarrassed grin. As she looked at him she wondered how she had never noticed how attractive the boy was. His tan skin slightly flushed with his black hair sticking up around his head. "Hey Luffy, thanks for listening to me, can we come here again and talk sometime?"
Luffy smiled at the beautiful girl in front of him. "Of course, I'm yours anytime. Afterall, what kind of captain would I be if I didn't take care of my crew?"
Nami stood up then and began to walk to her quarters before turning back, "Thanks Luffy. Goodnight."
Luffy watched her disappear and then laid down, hidden in the tangerine grove, "Goodnight, Nami."
