Luffy grabbed Nami's hand as everyone walked back to the ship. Everyone was exhausted after the fight with Mr. 3 and Mr. 5 so no one was paying attention to the navigator or captain as they fell in back. "I'm sorry it took so long to save you…"

Nami tightened her grip knowing he was beating himself up. She knew he felt guilty seeing her covered in soot and so exposed in front of Sanji, "It wasn't your fault. They were a strong team to go up against. Plus with your weakness for suggestion…"

Luffy frowned, "No one else would have fell for it."

Nami stopped walking and gave him a quick hug, "No one else would have saved us. Zoro might have but he would have lost his legs. The important thing is we are safe and now we have a way to get to Alabasta."

Luffy nodded and then saw Zoro give a glance back at them, "We should get going before Sanji's focus changes back to you."

Nami smiled, "So it was to get Sanji away from me."

Luffy laughed as they started forward again, "I don't know what we are going to do once Vivi's gone though."

"Hey Luffy, you better be taking care of Nami. You did enough damage earlier taking your sweet old time." Sanji yelled back as he noticed they were falling behind.

Zoro stepped up to the plate and defended his captain however, "Better than the guy who should up after everything happened. Luffy saved Nami and Vivi, while the love cook was drinking tea in some candle house."

Nami smiled as the two began to fight and then leaned into Luffy, "I might have to reduce Zoro's interest."

Luffy grinned, "He would appreciate that. You know what we should do before we leave here?"

Nami saw Luffy's grin and immediately started to shake her head, "No, whatever it is no."

Luffy picked her up anways and placed her on his back, "Let's swing through the trees!" He hopped up onto a high branch then began to fly through the trees swinging like Tarzan, "I'm King of the Jungle!" He screamed as they flew through the jungle narrowly missing trees.

"You better not crash!" Nami screamed as they almost hit another tree.

Luffy landed safely (probably the first time ever) and set her down gently. No one else had made it back so he felt safe from Sanji's wrath, "With you, I will never crash."

"Hey Sanji! Are you sure this is the right way?" Zoro's voice boomed through the vegetation letting Luffy pull away from Nami seconds before Sanji came into view.

"I'm not you, stupid! See here's the ship."

Luffy laughed and jumped onto the ship, "Let's go!"

Vivi smiled happily as she ran up to Nami, "I can't believe everything is working out so well."

Nami smiled and looked at her captain with pride, "Of course, Luffy will never let you down."

"Set sail, to Alabasta!"
