Hello readers! I didn't expect to start a long fic again but here I am. Well, let's celebrate Nami's return with this fic! This fic is special because it's my first fic where Nami isn't already in love with Luffy before the start of the story. It's already something new (in my fics).

I will first warn you that this fic is highly M-rated after the first chapter. Kids are not supposed to be here. The first chapter is still okay for kids, but if you read it, you would want to read the fic until the end and that's not good. So if you're like…lower than 16 years old, it would be best for you to not read it. You can read it a few years later. Now that children went to sleep, it's the world of grownups. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT CHAPTER 642'S COLOR SPREAD BEFORE READING THIS!

Enjoy

Sweet vacation

"Woohooo, it's the beach!" Usopp yelled along with Brook, Luffy and Chopper as they ran on the sand.

"This place looks so fun!" Luffy said.

"Usopp-san, do you think girls will show me their panties if I ask them?" Brook asked.

He quickly took a drop kick from Sanji. "Idiot! Don't dare ask them something like that!" Sanji yelled.

"It doesn't matter," Usopp informed, "since they don't wear panties."

Blood gushed out of the two perverts' noses.

He then said, "Why would they wear panties on the beach? Everyone is wearing swimsuit! Right?"

"Tell them THAT sooner," Zoro said with an irritated face. "We just arrived and we are already standing out."

Sanji, whose nose was still bleeding, stood up and said, "Well, if you come at the beach with a tanuki, a skeleton and big robot, you would stand out even if you don't want to."

"Oi, I'm not a tanuki! How many times do I have to say that?! I'm a reindeer!" Chopper yelled.

"And I'm not a robot! I'm a cyborg!" Franky yelled.

Then Brook yelled, "He is right! And I'm not a skele-...Ah! I am really a skeleton!"

"Oi!" Everyone yelled at Brook's idiocy.

Sometimes later, a few meters behind, Nami and Robin sat at a table in a seaside restaurant. Nami was wearing a white sleeveless, strapless top with small pink dots, and blue short shorts while Robin was wearing a floral, dark blue sundress.

"The day we can actually go somewhere without them standing out or causing a ruckus, I will believe in god and become a nun," Nami said before drinking her iced tea. She could see Franky surfing, all the way from where she was sitting.

Robin chuckled.

The Straw-Hat Pirates were on vacation on this island. It's actually a resort somewhere in the New World. Robin said that even in the hellish New World, people needed places like this. There were not only pirates on this sea after all. Normal people are born here and they would eventually die naturally. Without places like this, it should be hard to even live in the New World. The island itself has a security system to counter pirates but pirates can go in there too if they give some money. Even if they give money, they could still attack from the inside, but the resort has something to counter that. Not something but someone. There was an old, fun loving former pirate on this island. He can judge immediately if the pirates coming here are good or bad with one glance. Most of the pirates that came to this island were chased out by him. Well, he is like the guard of the island.

"Nami! Robin!" Chopper called as he walked alone toward them. "What are you doing here? You're not going to swim?"

Nami sighed, "You, Luffy and Brook can't swim. Do you understand that Chopper? Why are you three so careless? Only Robin is cautious of these things."

"It's okay. I won't drown with this." Chopper showed the buoy he had in his hand. "Even if something happen, we can always count on Zoro and the rest."

Nami sighed again. "Do whatever you want."

"There is a sandcastle competition too. Zoro and Sanji were fighting and they settled on using this competition, to show who the best is. We all decided to participate too. So we won't be in the water all the day," Chopper explained.

Nami smiled. "Is that so? Good then. By the way what's the prize?" Nami asked with Berry on her eyes.

Chopper sweat dropped and said "A rare fish only found in this sea. Sanji wanted to participate for that in the first place, before Zoro said something and it quickly turned into a fight."

"Not interested then," Nami said.

"You also didn't answer my question, you know," he said.

"What was it again?"

Chopper was about to say it before someone else interrupted him. "NAMI-SWAAAAN! ROBIN-CHWAAAAAN!" Sanji ran toward them at great speed..

He stopped before them and asked "Why are you not enjoying the beach?!"

"That's almost what I asked," Chopper said.

"We are enjoying in our own way." Robin said.

"Bu-Bu-But I wanted to see Nami-swaaan and Robin-chwaaan in their swimsuit!" Sanji cried as he begged them on his knees.

"Even if you beg we won't," Nami said as she crossed her legs. "Contrarily to you guys, we don't get excited over every small thing."

Chopper tilted his head in confusion and said "I still don't see why you don't want to enjoy the beach. It's not like you to not enjoy something."

"We are living on the sea you know. Swimming in sea water is not something that happens only a few times in the year for us. It happens most of the time. We have the pool inside Sunny too. Unlike here, it's not crowded on Sunny and we can relax without any care," Nami explained.

Robin nodded. "That is why we don't even take a sunbath. We prefer to enjoy the things we can't find on the ship, like shopping." She pointed at the bags near their table.

"Also, I like people to think I'm beautiful but I don't enjoy the stares of worthless people. It's a fact that people coming at the beach ONLY for the women are worthless," Nami said.

Sanji pounded on the floor. "But… But I still…Hmm?"

"What's wrong, Sanji-kun?" Nami asked.

Sanji blinked a few times before he yelled "Ah! I completely forgot!"

Nami and Robin were surprised by his sudden outburst. What was wrong with him?

Sanji excused himself before he dashed to the beach.

"Is it time for the competition?" Robin asked.

Chopper shook his head. "I'm also participating but there is still time before it starts."

"Then why did he rush like that? It's rare for him to forget about us like that," Nami said.

"Ah… I think it's…to protect Luffy."

...

...

...

"WHAT?!"

Of all the reasons Nami and Robin could think of, they didn't expect this answer.

Why would SANJI of all people protect Luffy? At a beach! The man that should be courting every woman on this place is protecting Luffy?! What kind of joke is this?

"Well you know, when I was talking with Usopp about the competition, some women approached Luffy. I've seen them trying to talk to him. They also approached Zoro but they got scared of him and didn't try to get close after that."

Robin chuckled at the last part.

Chopper continued "Sanji ran somewhere earlier and got back some time later, depressed. Usopp said he was surely dumped by every woman he asked to spend time with him. I didn't understand what he meant though."

Nami nodded as she agreed with Usopp.

"When he saw Luffy surrounded with women, he got even more depressed and started to dig a hole. He must have really wanted to talk with women, like Luffy," Chopper said with innocence.

"Umm…yeah…" Nami rolled her eyes.

"I was building a sandcastle with Usopp as a practice and I noticed that Usopp stopped moving. When I looked at him, he had a really shocked face."

"Why?" Robin asked.

"He was looking at Luffy…and it was strange. The women were all touching Luffy in a weird way. You wouldn't hug the front, the back or the arms of someone when talking to him, right? It was really weird."

Nami's eye twitched and Robin chuckled again.

"Then?" Robin asked. "What did they do?"

"Nothing. Sanji stopped digging and grabbed Luffy before running away. I went after him with Usopp and asked why he did something like that. Sanji said that Luffy was in danger. If he let things like they were, something that he couldn't even spoke of might have happened, something so dreadful that Sanji was shaking. He asked me to protect Luffy from the danger and we were protecting him until I saw you coming here. Usopp is unconscious. He tried to tell something to me but Sanji kicked him. I don't even know why he did that."

Nami sweat dropped at Chopper's innocence. He was completely deceived by Sanji. Sanji has a pretty nasty side too. She turned to Robin and said "What about we go take a look at that? I'm interested about what kind of women would try to seduce someone like Luffy."

Robin nodded before they stood up and walked outside.

Nami, Robin and Chopper were walking toward Luffy's group. Chopper took his human form to carry the shopping bags. Nami and Robin were walking bare foot, with their high heels sandals in their hands.

Robin was looking around. Sanji sat depressed, curling up in a ball. Luffy was sitting on the sand with a few women around him. Zoro was sleeping on a beach chair. She could see some women looking at him while keeping their distances so that he doesn't notice them. And some women were cheering a big guy surfing on the big waves. They were continuously yelling "Franky~" or "hard boiled~" with pink hearts around them.

"How can someone that big, surf in the first place?" Nami asked.

"Who knows?" Robin shrugged.

Their attention turned to the women around Luffy as they laughed at whatever he was saying to them.

"And you know… we had to take one of the four routes with an ordeal at the end of each route. After we took one, I asked what would happen if only one route was correct and the others were wrong choices. Usopp got afraid and asked what would happen if the one we took was the wrong one. I said that maybe we could fall of the Sky Island. He got angry and yelled that it was bullshit since we were…10,000 meter above the sea. He asked how many times your life will flash before your eyes if you fall 10,000 meters. Even falling has to have a limit?!" Luffy told them as he imitated Usopp, at the end.

"Then? What happened?" The women were listening closely.

"Sanji too said that it was bullshit and that it could never happen but when the boat got out of the tunnel, there was a waterfall! When we noticed that, we were in the air and we could only see clouds below!" Luffy laughed. "At that moment we really thought we would fall 10,000 meters to the sea. It was scary; I thought I was a goner." Luffy laughed again along with the women.

"What? They are just talking about our adventures. Nothing to be jealous," Nami said to Sanji.

"I wish they would ask me instead of that shitty captain," Sanji answered, still curling up in a ball.

Chopper then said, "Sanji's way of telling stories doesn't sound fun. You're always bragging to the girls after all."

"Shut up! Like you could understand my pain!" Sanji cried. "If…if it's like that, Nami-swaan, comfort me, please~" Sanji said, jumping toward Nami.

Nami buried his head in the sand with a single punch.

"SANJI!" Chopper yelled. Sanji was unconscious. In a way, he was freed from the pain.

"Oh Nami! Robin! You sure took a long time to come here." Luffy said with a grin.

Robin was helping Chopper to take Sanji's head out of the sand.

"It's been a while since we are here," Nami said as she crossed her arms. "Looks like captain is too busy to notice…"

"Yeah! It's so fun!" Nami's eye twitched for the second time today. She didn't know what but there was something she didn't like.

"Who is she?" One of the women asked. "Your sister?"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING HIS SISTER?!" Nami yelled.

"No, she is my navigator. She is amazing you know! She can read the climate only with her sense," Luffy said proudly which made Nami a little uncomfortable as she blushed.

The women were eyeing Nami. They were closely looking at her from her looks, style and her curves. They couldn't help but admit that they didn't stand a chance against her, neither against Robin though. Luffy talking that much about her didn't help their sense of defeat.

At that moment, Usopp woke up as he recovered from Sanji's kick.

He sat up groaning. "Where am I? ...If I recall clearly…we got on the beach…then Luffy suddenly got popular…Sanji got jealous of Luffy…then he fooled Chopper with a big lie…and when I tried to tell the truth to Chopper…he…Oi Sanji! Where are you, you bastard?!"

Usopp found Sanji unconscious near Chopper and Robin."What happened?"

"Nami beat him when he jumped on her," Chopper said.

Usopp sweat dropped, "He finally lost it, huh. Well, I suppose he got his beating for today." He calmed down as he could only pity Sanji.

Meanwhile on Luffy's side…

"Are you going out with Luffy?" One of the women asked Nami.

"Huh? Of course I'm not. Luffy is just my dear friend." Nami said.

"Then we can play with him as much as we want, right?" Another one asked, really emphasizing the word play.

"Play?" Nami asked.

"Yes. You know…" The woman brushed her fingers against Luffy's chest and repeated "play~".

Nami's eye twitched again. Words wouldn't come out of her. She only managed a wide smile…but she couldn't fool those around her. Most of the people at that place felt something off in her, something…terrifying.

Zoro was sleeping the whole time but he suddenly woke up and grabbed one of his swords. He looked around, right and left before he saw the group, composed of Nami, Luffy and the women around Luffy. He definitely felt something off in there. The sky got suddenly darker despite being still early in the afternoon. Very strong winds passed by them. Many people were leaving the beach. The beach chair behind him was blown somewhere else. He hoped it won't hit someone.

"D-D-D-D-Don't tell me that Nami did that?!" Usopp asked with dread on his face.

"I don't know!" Chopper cried.

"Huh? The wind is too strong. Is it a storm?" Luffy asked as he hoped Nami would give him an answer. However, Nami didn't even budge in the drastic change of the climate. It just made her even more scarier.

Zoro looked around again to find Robin, who looked a little nervous as she watched Nami and Luffy's group. Usopp and Chopper were pitifully hiding behind Robin while shaking from fear. He also noticed the cook sleeping on the sand. Zoro walked toward them while looking at Luffy's group. The women around Luffy started excusing themselves hurriedly one by one and ran in unknown directions. Was it because the climate got worse or because of Nami? He didn't know. Luffy was still sitting on the sand and wondered why they were running away.

"Oi, you didn't want play?" Luffy asked but none of the women could hear him anymore. He was certainly the only person oblivious to Nami's menacing smile and the changes around him.

When Zoro got near Usopp's group, he asked "What is happening here?"

"I don't know," Robin said. "I think these girls asked Nami if they can seduce Luffy. She didn't respond but…" She only looked at the scene before her.

Luffy stood up and said "That's a shame. I also wanted to play~."

Nami's eyes twitched for the umpteenth time this day while maintaining her sinister smile. She approached Luffy a little closer.

"Well, I can play with them later," Luffy added.

"Luffy~" Nami called. Her voice sounded playful but her face wasn't.

"Hmm?" Luffy looked at Nami.

Usopp and Chopper were praying that Luffy would survive this ordeal, the ordeal of the Death God Nami.

"What's wrong Nami?" Nami didn't answer.

Zoro was thinking really hard. Luffy's unneeded words caused Nami to be even more angered. At this rate, he will die.

"Nami, you look weird. Is something wrong?"

Usopp, still behind Robin, half yelled "Take a clue already Luffy! Say something nice to her!"

Not that Luffy heard him. Zoro was thinking but couldn't find any way to save Luffy. Usopp and Chopper didn't want to be involved since they could be killed. Robin was just observing. Sanji was out of service. Where was Franky?

"OW, even under a dark sky and strong winds, a man will not stop surfing!" Franky yelled as he continued surfing a bigger wave. His fangirls were squealing even more.

Franky was out too. Only Brook was missing. He was Luffy's last hope, even if Luffy himself still didn't notice anything. Come Brook! Save Luffy!

"Hey guys! I heard there will be a concert of Soul King Brook on the other side of this beach!" Some random guy informed.

"Really?!"

"Yeah! The concert will start after the competition! He is currently signing autographs near the stage. Let's go see him!" The random guys all ran to see Brook.

Luffy's last hope! What will happen to him?

…

Suddenly, the sky got brighter.

"Brook will have a concert?" Nami blinked before smirking. "That's a good way to make money!"

...

...

She returned to normal!

Usopp, Zoro and Chopper's jaws dropped. Even Robin was stunned.

"Robin!" Nami called. "Come with me! We will have to negotiate for the concert. Like hell I will let them take a service for free!"

Robin sweat dropped and followed Nami. She asked Chopper to bring the bags back to the hotel.

Luffy tilted his head and asked "What was that?"

Zoro, Usopp and Chopper also tilted their heads. "Who knows?"

Since everything got weirder, they just decided to bring Sanji back to the hotel for now. Zoro noted in his mind that the next time something like this happens, he just need to throw some money before Nami. Money's power is great.

"Nami?" Robin called as they were walking on the beach. They could almost see the stage where Brook will play tonight. "Why were you so…angry?" She asked.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Nami said, tilting her head.

"I mean when you…chased the women around Luffy. You clearly looked angry. No, "angry" is an understatement. It looked more like…you wanted to kill them…and Luffy too," Robin said.

"I don't know," Nami said. "I didn't feel anything when they were just talking, but when that woman asked me THAT…"

"What?"

"She asked if they can…do whatever they want with Luffy! Luffy is not an object! Like hell I will let some bitches like them steal Luffy from us! And Luffy is at fault too! That moron is too stupid to even notice what they wanted with him!"

"I see~," Robin said with a smile. Robin knows that Luffy can easily be deceived, too. That's why she was convinced with Nami's words. However, she also seems to have understood something else.

"Is that all? I feel like there is more," Robin told to Nami.

"More?"

Robin nodded "It also looked like you were jealous."

"Je-Jealous? Me?" Nami asked. "Why would I be jealous? I told you that I just didn't want them to steal Luffy from us."

Robin smiled and asked "Then would you act the same way if Zoro got intimate with an unknown woman?"

"No," Nami answered plainly. "I couldn't care any less."

"You see."

"Bu-But that's only because it's Zoro!" Nami defended herself. "The other guys are also not different from Zoro but Luffy is innocent and dumb."

"Then what about Chopper?"

"It's just impossible. He is a reindeer in the first place." Nami said.

"You see. Luffy is the only one with the special treatment," Robin said.

"Bu-Bu-Bu-" Nami tried to find another argument.

"Nami. Just read this book." Robin took a book from her handbag. "You might understand everything."

Nami took the book and looked at its title. Everything you need to know about Love

"Ro-Robin? You…you don't try to mean that I'm…"

Robin chuckled as she walked forward.

"Nami-san! Robin-san! You came to encourage me? Where are Luffy-san and the rest?" Brook asked. He just finished signing autograph and was resting in the dressing room.

"They didn't come with us. There is still time before the concert after all," Robin said. "It was Nami that wanted to come here in the first place."

"I see. But…" Brook looked at the gloomy woman next to Robin. "Nami-san doesn't look very happy."

Robin chuckled. "Don't worry. She just had a shocking revelation." Robin then turned to Nami and said "Nami? You didn't want to talk with the organizer?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. But…I'm not in the mood anymore…" Nami was curling up in a ball.

"It doesn't look like she can negotiate right now."

"Could it be that she wanted to use me to gain more money with this concert?" Brook asked without any surprise.

Robin nodded.

"Nami-san is as greedy as ever. It would be too late to ask the organizer later. What should we do?"

"I think I will negotiate with him myself. I'm not as good as Nami but I can manage pretty well," Robin said.

"I see. Let's hope it will be enough to satisfy Nami-san," Brook said.

"Nami. I will deal with the organizer. You can just read the book I lend to you for now."

Nami just nodded.

As soon as Robin and Brook closed the dressing room's door, Nami sat on a chair and started reading the book. The book itself was not very big but it had everything you need to know about love, from small affection to sexual interaction. A big part was about the philosophy of love so Nami just passed that. If you take that out, the content is pretty short. For a fast reader like Nami, it should take almost an hour to finish it. If it was Robin, it wouldn't take more than half an hour. As Nami was reading the book, she was unconsciously relating everything with Luffy and herself. She found it frustrating but she was starting to believe what Robin tried to tell her. Nami didn't have time to experience love in her life. She lost her mother at 8 years old, became a slave to fishmen pirates and had to travel, stealing from pirates for 10 long years. The one who saved her from that is Luffy. She only felt gratitude at that time. But now…she wondered, MAYBE she was in love with Monkey D. Luffy. She still wasn't sure. When she was reading about the act of making love, she rubbed her thighs as she imagined herself with Luffy. She was sure that if someone could see her, they would be worried at how red her face is right now. Still, she doesn't feel like doing it right now with Luffy. One thing Nami was sure is that she isn't the type to take things slowly. If she really loved Luffy and wanted to take his first time, she would take it by force. She is Nami! The Cat Burglar! She wants something, she steal it. And since she doesn't feel like doing it right now, she doubts she completely fell in love with Luffy. A "crush" may be a better description to her current feelings. One day…maybe one day, she might completely fall for him. She didn't know how to feel at that.

"Nami-san! We're back!" Brook said as soon as he opened the door.

"You're late! Why did it take more than one hour?" Nami yelled. She finished the book ten minutes earlier.

"Sorry." Robin said. "We had to go visit the owner of the island since the organizer already used the entire budget. I also thought that it might give you time to think. So? What are your current feelings?"

Nami blushed, but she put her hands on her hips and said "It's just a crush. I still didn't completely fall for him yet."

"Eh? A crush? Don't tell me Nami-san? You fell in love with someone on this island?!" Brook asked, not really knowing about what they were talking about.

"Do you really think I'm the type to fall in love with someone I just met?!" Nami asked, irritated.

"No but…"

"Brook… Nami's crush is Luffy," Robin answered.

"Ah…it's Luffy-san. You couldn't find better man! Nami-san, I'm cheering for you," Brook said, showing his bony thumb.

Nami walked past him and said "I didn't say I would go for him yet. It's just a crush. I will return to the hotel for now. I'm tired."

"Take a good rest," Robin said as she waved her hand along with Brook.

Nami was walking slowly toward the hotel. They decided to rest in a hotel since the old pirate said that Sunny would be in safe hands if they just leave it at the dock. If no one needs to guard Sunny, everyone can play as much as they want here. They booked three rooms, one room with two beds for the woman and two rooms with three beds for the men, so eight beds in total. Chopper can easily sleep with Luffy, Zoro or Usopp so they didn't bother with another bed. Usopp's sleeping habits made him sometime take weird poses or sleep on the floor, so they took that in mind too.

Nami was reaching the hotel when…

"Hey babe, do you want to play with us?" Some men, in trunks, called Nami. Just by looking at them, she felt disgusted. They had weird tattoos and TOO MUCH piercing on their noses and ears. There was one grinning like a psycho, showing the piercing on his tongue.

Nami shuddered as she thought "That's what I call having bad taste."

One of the men grabbed Nami's hand and said "You didn't hear me? Come play~"

"Sorry but I have better things to do," she said as he tried to pull her hand off his grasp. If she wasn't tired, she would have taken care of them easily. She also doesn't have her Clima Tact.

"Don't say things like that. Just come."

"Let me go!" Nami yelled, irritated.

"What if I don't?"

"You…"

"Don't touch her." A familiar voice said.

"Huh? Who gave me an ord-" The man felt his strength fade out.

Immediately after that, the harassing men brutally fell down one by one on the ground. Peoples that were watching the scene without doing anything started to whisper, wondering what happened to them.

Nami looked at the hotel's direction and she saw Luffy walking toward her. "Luffy!"

"What's wrong Nami? You could have beaten them alone, right?" Luffy asked. He was wearing his usual shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, left open.

Nami put her left on her hip and huffed. "I'm tired. It's hard to move around in this heat. If I knew, I would have worn lighter clothes," she said, using her right hand like a fan.

"Lighter clothes?" Luffy knit his brows as he looked at her sleeveless, strapless white top and short shorts. How can it go any lighter?

Nami saw Luffy's stare and smirked. She lowered herself to show her cleavage and said, "What's wrong Luffy? Do you want to see what's behind these clothes?" She pulled her top a bit to show more cleavage. Who said that she can't tease her crush?

"Hmm? What are you saying Nami? There is just skin behind the clothes. Even a kid should know that." Luffy said.

Nami pouted. It's just the same old Luffy. Why did she fall, even a little for this moron? Nami almost jumped when she felt something on her back and behind her knees. Before she even had time to look behind her, she was lifted by Luffy's arms, bridal style.

"Luffy?" She looked at him, asking why he is carrying her. The feeling of his hands on her bare shoulders and bare legs felt strangely good.

Luffy smiled and said "You said you were tired, right? It would be troublesome if something were to happen to my navigator, so I will carry you. You just need to show me the way, like always."

Nami smiled. Her smile was even brighter than Luffy's. She put her hands around Luffy's neck and buried her head in it. "Alright. Take care of me, okay."

Luffy nodded as he walked back to the hotel.

"Damn", Nami thought still smiling brightly against Luffy's neck. "I think I have fallen more for this moron."
