DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE AND I KNOW IT!
EMICHII: MY FIRST ONE PIECE FANFIC! IT IS CALLED…
Swords and CompassesChapter One- Why can't we just get along?
"EVERYBODY WAKE UP!"
The sound of Luffy's voice woke up everyone else in the ship.
Nami groaned, "Luffy, shut up! I really need some sleep!"
"Well, you should have gone to bed earlier last night!" he retorted.
The hot-tempered swordsman yelled back at him, "WE WOULD'VE IF IT WASN'T FOR SOMEONE IN A STRAW HAT KEEPING US UP ALL NIGHT!"
"Sheesh…" Luffy said but didn't give up, "But you still have all of this night to go to sleep so everybody WAKE UP!"
The Straw Hat crew slumped all over the breakfast table.
They were all dead tired except for Luffy. "Hey Nami! Where are we now?"
The navigator scowled at him and said, "Our next stop is here." She pointed to the map. "See there's an island around here called Microsoft Island. It's a big city that's famous for manufacturing computers."
"Great, my dear Nami," swooned Sanji. "Somewhere I can get fresh ingredients!"
"Yeah great…" Zoro rolled his eyes.
Nami gave him a look.
"How long till we get there?" Ussop asked.
"Oh, we'll probably get there in a few days," Nami shrugged.
"HURRAY! MICROSOFT ISLAND!" Luffy cheered.
That night it was Nami's turn on lookout. It was really cold and she shivered as she pulled the jacket around her tighter.
"If you're cold, you should go inside." Zoro said. The swordsman was standing there, hands on hips.
"What? I'm not cold!" Nami said.
Zoro reached out and swiped Nami on the arm. Nami shivered.
"Yep, you're definitely cold," he said. "Get your butt inside."
"I don't need to go inside!" Nami cried. "It's my duty so I have to stay out here!"
"Listen, I'll take your turn now get in there so that you don't get sick." Zoro couldn't help smirking at his own comment.
Nami could see where this argument was going. "I am not weak!" she said shrilly. "I can handle the cold."
"No you can't."
"Yes I can!"
"You can't."
"Oh? And you can?"
"Just go!"
"Why are you always so stubborn, Zoro?" she cried.
"Who me?"
"Yeah. You're mean."
Zoro towered over the girl. She was smirking at him now, arms folded. "Can't stand being insulted, can you?"
"You!" he shouted.
"Not used to losing the argument, are you? How do you usually settle arguments anyway?"
"With my swords," Zoro started to reach for his sword then stopped. "But I can't attack a little girl." He added, smirking.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LITTLE GIRL?" Nami practically screamed.
It was Zoro's turn to gloat at her. "I don't see any other girls here…" he pressed. He could see the smoke coming form Nami's ears. Nami opened her mouth to say something but Zoro just got tired of arguing. He reached over and picked Nami up around the waist.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Put me down!" she screamed.
"I'm taking you inside," he explained.
Nami tried to free herself but the swordsman's grasp was too strong for her. In the end she just pouted. Zoro took her to her room and dumped her on the ground. She was still angry.
"Seeya Nami," Zoro smirked and closed the door on her.
"Humph…" were all she said.
Nami and Zoro didn't bother arguing with Luffy's wake-up call the next morning but the tension between them was growing.
After breakfast, Zoro was "training." He was probably doing it just to annoy Nami because it just so happened that his room was next to hers. So he sat outside his room, with his shirt off, lifting weights. And when Nami came out of her room, the smoke came out from her ears again, causing Zoro to laugh out loud which caused him to drop his weight which fell down and hit him on the toe and made Nami laugh because the joke was on him.
Luffy came out to find Nami laughing so hard that she could hardly breathe and Zoro glaring at her and clutching his red toe.
Then he heard Ussop and Sanji arguing in the kitchen.
"Why can't we just all get along?" he sighed.
Later that day, Luffy, Sanji, Ussop and Nami were playing Truth or Dare outside on deck. Zoro was just standing outside his crowd looking over the ocean.
While Ussop, Luffy and Sanji were busy plotting something really drastic for Nami's dare, she stood up to start another argument with Zoro.
"I'm not interested," Zoro said as soon as she walked up to him.
"So you can read minds now, eh?" she smiled.
He looked away.
Then she sneezed. Once. Twice.
He smiled at his chance to annoy her again.
"I told you that you'd get sick if you got too cold," Zoro grinned with his canine teeth showing.
Nami started to pout again.
Sanji defended his girl. "Stop annoying Nami. You're HURTING her FEELINGS!"
Zoro and Nami rolled their eyes.
Then Nami saw the devilish stare in Luffy, Sanji and Ussop's eyes. "WHAT?" she shrieked.
"We've got your dare, Nami!" Luffy said.
Ussop stifled a laugh.
"What… is… it?" Nami chose her words carefully.
Sanji and Luffy started to laugh crazily. Zoro looked on, interested.
"You've got to take off your skirt! HAHAHAHA!" Luffy laughed evilly.
Zoro sighed, shook his head and looked away.
Nami was about to grab her stick and whack them all out of the ship but Sanji said with his curly eyebrow raised, "You're not chicken are you Nami?"
"PERVERTED FREAKS!" she screamed and whacked them anyway.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Luffy yelled.
"OWWWWW…" Sanji groaned.
Zoro gave Nami a brilliant smile which infuriated her even more, "You missed."
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DUCKED!"
Luffy, Ussop and Sanji watched Nami chase Zoro all over the ship. Then he turned around and grabbed Nami's wrist so that she couldn't hit him.
"LET GO OF ME!" she screamed shrilly.
Zoro yelled, "STOP SCREAMING FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"
"WHO'S THE ONE SCREAMING NOW?"
Zoro flipped Nami over and so that she was draped over his shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN!"
Luffy watched on in interest.
Zoro laughed to himself, "If I put you down then you have to take off your skirt."
"YOU PERV-"
He slapped his hand over her mouth so that se couldn't talk. He watched the smoke come out of her ears again in amusement. She tried to slap him and he pulled her down and pinned her to the ground. "I… am not… a pervert… I'm a swordsman!" he hissed.
Nami was about to make another comment when she saw three other faces smirking at her behind Zoro's.
"This is so unfair…" she started to protest.
Zoro stood up and shrugged. "And I'm not interested," he said, "but if you're not chicken than prove it."
He turned and went away.
She stared after him. She was going to go and scream at him again when Sanji's voice said, "We're waiting…"
That's when she just gave up.
"I see London, I see France, I see Nami's underpants!" Luffy's voice interrupted Zoro's thoughts.
He was in his room, trying to train. But all he was thinking about was Nami. Nami smiling, Nami pouting, Nami with smoke coming from her ears, Nami flirting with him to annoy him…
"That girl has taken over my brain…" He murmured.
But then again, he kind of liked it.
"CRAP! I'M A SWORDSMAN! I gave up on girls, okay!" He yelled at himself.
"Ohhh…what's this about?" Nami's teasing voice said. She was leaning at the doorframe, smirking at him.
ARGH! DON'T TELL ME I SAID THAT OUT LOUD!
"What?" he asked, eyes narrowing.
"What did you say about giving up on girls?" she teased.
"HEY GUYS! I SEE LAND!" Luffy yelled.
Nami and Zoro ran out to deck to see.
"THERE IT IS! MICROSOFT ISLAND!" Luffy shouted.
"YEEAAAHHH!" Sanji and Ussop cheered.
Nami just thought to herself, I can feel it. Something is wrong.
Zoro frowned at the island. There seems to be a dark shadow around it. Something is really bad.
Luffy anchored the ship and they jumped off and headed in different directions.
"I'm gonna get something to eat!" declared Luffy.
"I'm going to look for pretty girls!" Sanji sang. Nami gave him a look and he added, "And I'm gonna look for fresh food as well…"
Ussop said he was going to look around.
Zoro looked around the city cautiously. "Something seems wrong," he said.
Nami stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh? Like what?"
Zoro gave her a hard stare.
She felt uneasy. "Okay, so I feel it too. I don't know what it is but something is seriously wrong with this island,"
"I'm going to get my swords sharpened and cleaned. They smell like blood," He said, and started to walk off.
Nami ran after him, "Hey wait up!"
He said, "What do you want?"
"I'm just gonna tag along and make you miserable," she smirked, "it's obvious you can't act normal around girls…"
"Huh…" he grunted.
But he knew it was true. It wasn't just girls, it was Nami. She made him feel uncomfortable.
"Hey, where is everyone?" he wondered.
The city seemed deserted.
