Initially, the longing for her friends had been so intense that time had passed agonizingly slowly. Only with time had she grown accustomed to the new situation, even though she missed the other Straw Hats just as much after two years as she did on the first day. They were her Nakama, her family. Nothing would change that, not even a long separation like this./p

She was glad to finally sleep in her own bed on the Sunny again and to have all her friends nearby, but she had appreciated the time on the Sky Island. She had become stronger, albeit certainly different from her friends. She couldn't wait to hear all their stories from the last two years./p

Nevertheless, Nami had hoped that some of her friends might also arrive in Sabaody earlier. The disappointment was great when she found herself alone in a small bar and ordered a drink with a gloomy expression. No familiar faces had crossed her path, which meant she would spend the evening alone. Alone with her thoughts, she sipped discontentedly at her ordered drink and was pleased to note that she had at least chosen something tasty. Maybe she would have another glass later and then retire to her room in the nearby hotel.../p

She squinted her eyes, as if she could undo the last few hours if she just wished hard enough. Except that the guy next to her hadn't moved an inch when she opened her eyes again. He lay on his stomach, his face turned away from her. The dark blond hair was spread out on the pillow, while the blanket didn't cover much of his naked body anymore, after she had pulled it towards her in the first moment of shock to cover her own - also very naked - body. Damn./p
