It was dinner time.

After spending the afternoon in bed, Luffy was extremely eager to eat.

"SANJI!!" he bellowed as he entered the dining room. "You said you'd make me meat!!"

"I did make it for you." the cook replied as he brought a tray of food to the table. "But you were asleep, so I couldn't give it to you."

"Then why didn't you wake me up!?" Luffy shouted.

"You needed the rest!" yelled Chopper. "And you'll need to be really careful for the next week! You can't be stretching, or fighting, or punching or doing anything that puts stress on your body! If you rip the stitches again before your body has a chance to heal, you'll get internal bleeding and die!"

"This is serious, Luffy!" Usopp exclaimed. "Just take it easy for a while!"

"That's right!" shouted Nami. "Do you really want to have to go through what happened today all over again!?"

"I got it! I got it!" Luffy grumbled as he took a seat.

Though it wasn't by any intention of his own, as all the other seats had been taken, he wound up sitting next to Nami.

The moment Sanji set the first tray of food down on the table, Luffy stretched his arm out at lightning speed to grab a piece.

Before he reached it though, his arm snapped back into place and he yelled,

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!"

"LUFFY!!" Chopper roared. "I just told you, no more stretching for a week!! Your body can't handle it! I thought you said you understood!!"

"But how am I supposed to get the food when it's on the other end of the table!?" Luffy yelled.

"Just wait for the tray to get passed around like the rest of us!" shouted Nami.

"Fine! Then pass all the trays to me!" Luffy demanded.

"Wait your turn!" Nami snapped.

"This might actually teach Luffy some manners." said Sanji. "Oh, and speaking of which...Chopper, Luffy usually eats so much that his stomach stretches...Would that endanger him as well?"

"Ah! That's true!" Chopper hollered. "Luffy! You can't eat as much as you want for a while! Only eat enough to fill your stomach!"

"WHAT!?" Luffy thundered.

Nami hit him over the head. "Stop yelling!"

When they began eating, Franky leaned over to Usopp.

"Remember, ask Strawhat to go fishing with you after dinner.." he whispered.

"I know already.." Usopp mumbled.

Chopper glanced at Sanji. 'I really hope we're not going to fight with Sanji..' he thought.

Zoro also glanced at Sanji. 'I'll need to get the rope ready after dinner..' he thought.

"So Franky.." Sanji began. "..Did you finish with those new features you were installing?"

"Ah...Yeah.." said Franky. "..They're all set up.."

"You're still not going to tell us what they are?" Nami asked.

"We-Well, it's not like it's something secret.." he lied. "..But I'd rather you guys see them in effect before I tell you what they are."

"So when's that going to be?" asked Sanji.

"Tonight, in fact.." Franky replied.

"Nami," Robin asked, changing the subject, "how far are we from the next island?"

"About three days, from what I gathered at the last island."

'Hmm..Then that's probably how long we have to get those two together..' Franky thought to himself. 'But of course, we won't need all that time! Nee-chan will have her heart stolen by tomorrow morning!'

"Hopefully we won't run into any trouble there.." said Nami. "..With Luffy unable to fight, it would be difficult.."

"Well," Zoro began, "even if someone does pick a fight with us, unless they're another one of those 'Four Emperors,' we probably won't have any problem defeating them."

"We ARE the 'Strawhat' crew." said Sanji.

"That's right!" shouted Usopp. "Since Luffy's down, they'll have to face Captain Usopp in his place!"

"Ohhhh!!" exclaimed Chopper.

"That's not what I meant!" Nami shouted.

Everyone looked at her.

"Now that Luffy's injured, he won't be able to protect himself!" she began. "Marines and pirates from all over the Grand Line are after his life! He's in a lot of danger!"

"I'll be fine!" Luffy exclaimed as he wolfed down a fish.

"Don't say that!" yelled Nami. "You just have to be attacked once and you could lose your life! In the state you're in, even an average person could kill you! This isn't a laughing matter!"

"You shouldn't worry about that, Nami-san." said Sanji.

"Yeah, it's not like we can ever take it easy anyway." said Franky.

Zoro nodded. "We're always facing these kinds of situations, after all."

Nami scowled. "You all don't understand a thing!" she snapped. "This isn't like always! We've never gone to an island before while Luffy was so injured he wasn't able to defend himself! This is really bad!"

The crew was staring at her.

"We shouldn't even let Luffy leave the ship!" she continued. "And Zoro! Sanji-kun! Franky! You three should stay on the ship the whole time we're there to guard him!"

"..Isn't that a little much?" asked Franky.

"Luffy can take care of himself." said Zoro.

"How can you say that!?" Nami shouted. "Zoro!! Luffy CAN'T take care of himself! You're his crew mate! It's your job to fight for him when he can't! Or are you too 'manly' to care about anyone other than yourself!?"

Zoro growled.

"Don't worry about it!" Luffy assured her as he started eating another fish.

Nami grabbed the tail of the fish and pulled it out of his mouth.

"Don't talk about your life so easily!! You may think it's fine to go off and risk it at every moment but what about your crew!? What happens to us if you die!?"

"Why are you suddenly making a fuss about this now?" Zoro asked. "Since the time you first joined him, Luffy's been putting his life on the line nearly every day. We all have. That's what it means to be pirates. You should already know that."

Nami glared at Zoro. "Just because it's dangerous to be a pirate doesn't mean we have to be reckless! How can you call yourself Luffy's nakama if you abandon him when he's in need!? Until he gets better, we have to be watching him at every moment or he could be killed!"

Franky eyed Nami. "..Nee-chan, aren't you being a little overly protective?"

"Yeah.." said Usopp. "It's not like you to get this worked up over Luffy's safety."

Nami looked back and forth between her crew mates for a moment.

"...Ugh.." she finally said. "..None of you care.."

Nami looked down at her plate and resumed eating.

"Why's Nami angry?" Chopper whispered to Zoro.

"She's probably going through her-" Zoro began, but was cut off as Sanji kicked him from under the table.

"What the hell was that for!?" Zoro barked.

"What you were about to say!" snapped Sanji. "It's something you should never say about a lady!"

"Well I can't help it if it's true!" Zoro shouted.

"I ought to kick some gentlemanliness into you!"

"You want to fight, bastard!?"

"Hey, come on!" yelled Usopp. "Don't do this during dinner!!"

"Yeah, cut it out!" shouted Franky.

Sanji and Zoro glared at each other for a moment before sitting back down.

"And besides.." Franky whispered to Zoro. "..you know why she's angry.."

"..I guess." said Zoro.

Dinner went by faster than usual, as there was little conversation and Luffy wasn't stealing everyone's food.

When they were done and as Sanji was bringing the plates into the kitchen, Robin walked up to Nami.

"Would you like to talk?" she asked.

Nami stared at Robin for a moment then sighed. "Sure, why not."

At the same time, Usopp approached Luffy.

"Hey, Luffy, let's do some late night fishing!" he exclaimed.

"Sure!" Luffy shouted.

The four of them went out onto the deck.

Franky and Chopper stayed in the dining room.

"Where did that swordsman go?" Franky whispered to Chopper.

"He said he needed to get something." replied Chopper.

Franky frowned. "He was supposed to help me talk to curly brows..Well, anyway, let me do the talking for now. I'm sure curly brows will agree to help us once I've explained things."

"Okay." said Chopper.

Franky leaned over the counter that separated the dining room from the kitchen, where Sanji was scrubbing plates.

"Hey, curly brows."

Sanji stopped scrubbing and turned around. "Huh? Franky? Why are you still in here?"

"There's something reindeer and I wanted to talk to you about.." he said.

The cook raised his eye brow. "I'm all ears."

"Well," Franky began, "let me start by asking you this: Do you believe love is important?"

Sanji closed his eye and smiled.

"I believe it is the most important thing in this world."

"That's great!" Franky exclaimed. "That will make things a lot easier!"

Sanji looked at him curiously.

"You remember what Strawhat said to nee-chan last night, right?" Franky asked.

"Of course." replied Sanji.

Franky crossed his arms and looked at the floor. "Well, after he was rejected, he was very heart broken."

Sanji nodded. "Who wouldn't be?"

"Ah, I see you understand." said Franky. "Well, afterwards, long nose, reindeer, sash man and myself all agreed that we would help Strawhat."

"A kind gesture." said Sanji.

"Right," Franky continued, "so we decided we would do everything we could to get nee-chan to fall in love with him."

Sanji nodded again, and started smiling.

"The first plan we came up with was to lock them together in the dining room this morning." said Franky. "We asked Nico Robin to help us by distracting you. I think she asked you to help her look for a book or something.."

Sanji's smile got wider.

"..then the four of us left the dining room and I locked the door so neither of them could escape. We were sure nee-chan was going to confess her love for Strawhat, but unfortunately he fell asleep before she could.."

"Ah, very unfortunate." said Sanji, still smiling.

"So now we've developed another plan. I call it the 'Franky Midnight Deck of Love!'"

"A very creative name." said Sanji.

"I'm glad you think so too!" Franky exclaimed. "So, this is how it goes: first, I install locks on all the doors - those were the new features I said I was adding to the ship."

"I see." said Sanji.

"Next, after dinner, Nico Robin distracts nee-chan out on the deck and long nose goes fishing with Strawhat while reindeer and I stay in here to explain the plan to you."

Sanji's smile got a little wider again.

"After we've convinced you to help us, you, me, reindeer, and swordsman go up into the crow's nest together. From there, I activate the locks on all the doors."

"What a high tech system." said Sanji. "It must have been difficult to set up."

"Hahaha!" Franky laughed. "Nothing's too difficult for me! But anyway, at that point, Nico Robin and long nose leave nee-chan and Strawhat and come up into the crow's nest with us. This is where our roles in the plan end."

Sanji nodded again. "I see. I see."

"So finally," Franky finished, "since nee-chan and Strawhat will be locked outside in the cold, they'll have to sleep together to keep warm!"

"Ah, what an elaborate plan." said Sanji, smiling the widest he had yet.

"I'm glad you see things my way!" Franky laughed. "So, now we need to go to the crow's ne-"

"-but of course..." Sanji continued...

"I MUST DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO LAY THIS EVIL PLAN TO WASTE!!"

The cook leapt out of the kitchen and charged towards the door yelling, "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"W-What!?" Franky shouted. "R-Reindeer! Stop him!"

Chopper hesitated for a moment, then changed into his human form and blocked the door.

"OUT OF THE WAY!!" Sanji roared, kicking Chopper to the side.

He was about to reach the door when he was tripped by the sheath of a sword and fell to the floor.

"MARIMO!!" Sanji thundered.

The cook tried to leap onto his feet but was stopped as Zoro sat on his back.

"Looks like I arrived just in time." said Zoro.

Franky and Chopper raced to his side.

"Franky, grab his arms." said Zoro. "In a minute, I'll grab his legs."

"BASTARDS!!" shouted Sanji. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

"S-Sorry about this.." said Franky, grabbing onto Sanji's hands.

"EAT SHIT!" Sanji roared.

Zoro remained seated on Sanji. "Franky," he began, "as soon as I grab his legs, we'll lift him up."

"G-Got it." said Franky.

"SHITTY BASTARDS!!"

"I brought a rope up here." Zoro continued, pointing to a coil of rope lying on the floor. "Chopper, once Franky and I lift him up, start wrapping the rope around him, starting from his feet and ending at his shoulders."

"O-Okay.." Chopper said hesitantly.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SHITTY ASSHOLES!!" Sanji exclaimed.

"Okay," said Zoro, "Franky, on the count of three, I'm going to grab onto his legs and we'll lift him up."

Franky nodded. "Alright!"

"One." Zoro began.

"YOU SHITTY SHITS!! GET YOUR SHITTY HANDS OFF OF ME!!"

"Two."

"I'LL DUMP YOU IN A BARREL OF SHIT AND MAKE YOU EAT SHIT FOR THE REST OF YOUR SHITTY LIVES!!"

"Three!"

"SHIT!!"

Zoro rolled off Sanji, grabbed his legs, and lifted him into the air with Franky.

"Now, Chopper!" Zoro yelled, struggling to hold Sanji's legs in place as the cook thrashed about.

"R-Right!"

Chopper grabbed the rope and started wrapping it around Sanji's ankles.

"Sorry about this, Sanji.."

"GO TO HELL, YOU SHITTY REINDEER!!"

After a minute, the cook was tied up from his ankles to his shoulders.

"BASTARDS! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!" he thundered.

"You look like a cigar." said Zoro.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!"

"What are we going to do about his yelling?" asked Franky.

Zoro took out a roll of tape and a sock.

"Oh, I get it."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU SHI-"

Zoro stuck the sock in Sanji's mouth, then sealed it shut with tape.

"MMMMMMPH!!"

"Okay, good!" exclaimed Franky. "Now we need to carry him up to the crow's nest with us."

Zoro slung Sanji over his shoulder. "I can do that."

"MMMMMMMMMPH!!"

"Alright, let's go!"

And with that, the four of them headed up to the crow's nest.

Usopp and Luffy sat at the front of the ship, holding fishing poles out over the water.

"I wonder if we'll catch a sea king!" Luffy shouted.

"Sea kings are twenty times bigger than our boat." said Usopp. "They're not going to be interested in our little lures."

"Then we should use bigger ones!"

"It doesn't matter how big they are! And besides, if a sea king finds us, it'll eat us!"

Usopp suddenly felt a tug on his pole.

"Ah! I've got one!" he yelled, standing up and turning the reel. "This one's really strong!! It might be some kind of shark or whale!!"

After half a minute of reeling, Usopp's hook popped out of the water with a tiny fish flopping around on it.

"AHAHAHAHA!!" Luffy laughed, falling on his back and clutching his stomach.

"S-Shut up!" Usopp barked. "There must have been a bigger one at first but it got scared when it saw me and managed to get away!"

Usopp unhooked the fish and threw it back into the water.

"You haven't caught anything at all!" he snapped.

Luffy sat up and grabbed his pole again.

They continued to fish in silence for a few minutes before Usopp finally said,

"Hey, Luffy."

Luffy looked at him. "What?"

"..Do you really not care whether or not Nami loves you?"

Luffy stared at Usopp for a few seconds before replying, "I just decided. I want her to love me."

Usopp gaped at him. "W-What?? You just decided??"

Luffy nodded. "Yeah."

"W-Well that changes alot!" Usopp exclaimed. "What are you going to do, then??"

Luffy tilted his head.

"What are you going to do!" Usopp repeated. "You just said you want her to love you! If you want her to love you, then you should try to get her to love you!"

"Oh."

"So what are you going to do!?"

"I don't know."

Usopp frowned. "This is why other people have to help you.."

"What?"

"Nothing!"

There was suddenly a loud clicking noise.

Usopp stood up. 'Looks like it's time..'

"Where are you going?" asked Luffy.

"Oh, I'm going to use the toilet." he lied. "Wait for me here."

Nami and Robin sat at the bow of the ship.

"What's wrong with all of you, anyway!?" Nami fumed. "Since Luffy can't fight right now, it's obvious that we should do everything we can to protect him until he can!"

Robin listened to Nami silently.

"It's too dangerous to take any chances!" she exclaimed. "If we left him alone, even for a moment, he could get attacked and there would be nothing he could do about it! And there will probably be people just waiting for that chance! He's worth 300,000,000 beri, after all! ..In fact, he's probably worth even more now after that last battle!"

Nami stamped her foot.

"Why am I the only one who's taking this seriously!? You should all be really worried too! If none of you are going to make any effort to look after Luffy then I'll have to stay with him on the ship the entire time we're on that island!"

She huffed and faced the sea.

There was suddenly a loud clicking noise.

"Huh? Robin, what was that?" Nami asked, turning back around.

Robin was gone.

Nami narrowed her eyes. 'I guess she got tired of listening to me..'

xxxxxxxxxx

"Okay, good!" Franky exclaimed as Usopp and Robin entered the crow's nest. "Now there's nothing left for us to do!"

When Usopp had gotten settled in, he noticed that Zoro was sitting on something that looked like a giant cigar.

"Zoro, what's that?" he asked, pointing to the said object.

Zoro looked down. "Huh? Oh."

He moved a little so Usopp could see Sanji's head.

"Oh.." said Usopp. "So I take it Sanji wouldn't cooperate.."

The cook was glaring up at Zoro. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!! (Untie me so I can skew you, you shitty bastards!!)"

"He seems pretty angry.." Usopp commented.

"No, he's just tired." said Zoro.

"MMMMMMMMPH!!"

Franky locked the hatch. "Alright, you can all go to sleep now if you want. I'm going to stay up to see what happens."

"I'll stay up too." said Usopp.

"Me too!" Chopper exclaimed.

"I'd like to see as well." said Robin.

The four of them looked out down on the deck from the windows of the crow's nest.

Luffy was at the front of the ship, fishing.

Nami was at the back of the ship, looking out over the ocean.

"I guess they haven't noticed yet." said Usopp.

Franky rubbed his chins. "We might have to wait a little while.."

One hour later

xxxxxxxxxx

Nami rubbed her arms.

It was getting cold out. She figured she should go to bed.

She had spent the last hour thinking of how she would protect Luffy when they arrived on the next island.

'I can just think more about it in bed..' she thought to herself.

She walked across the deck to her room.

She grabbed the handle of the door.

She pulled.

It wouldn't open.

"You've got to be kidding me.." she growled.

She pulled again, this time harder.

It still wouldn't open.

"Franky..." she muttered.

She walked over to the men's sleeping quarters to wake him up.

She grabbed the door handle.

She pulled.

It wouldn't open.

"FRANKY...!!"

She pounded on the door. "Franky! Come out here!"

No response.

She kicked the door.

"FRANKY!!" she repeated.

She continued pounding on the door for the next minute, but got no response.

"Is no one in there!?"

She headed to the dining room.

She grabbed the door handle.

She pulled.

It wouldn't open.

"AGH!" she shouted. "What is going on!?"

Next she tried the lavatories.

They wouldn't open.

Then the bathing room.

It wouldn't open.

Then the library, the medical room, the aquarium, and the hatch leading to the soldier dock system.

Nothing would open.

Nami was huffing.

There was only one place she hadn't tried yet.

She climbed the ladder to the crow's nest and pushed on the hatch.

It wouldn't open.

"FRANKY!!" she yelled. "WHERE ARE YOU!?"

She scanned the deck from atop the ladder.

She noticed someone was sitting at the front of the ship.

It was Luffy.

"Why is he the only one out.." she muttered.

She shivered.

"This is a problem..I'll get a cold if I stay out here much longer.."

She climbed down the ladder and headed to the front of the ship.

"Luffy!" she called when she got there.

Luffy turned his head.

He was holding a fishing pole.

"None of the doors on the ship will open!" she exclaimed.

He hopped to his feet and threw his fishing pole to the side.

"Hmmm...That's strange." he said.

He followed her to the door of her sleeping quarters.

He tugged on the door and it wouldn't open.

He pulled his fist back, getting ready to punch it.

Nami slapped the back of his head.

"Luffy! What are you doing!? You can't be knocking doors down with your injury the way it is!"

"Then how do we get it to open?"

"I..I don't know!"

They stared at each other for a few moments.

Nami turned away.

"Where is everyone anyway..!?"

She shivered again. "Grr..."

"Are you cold?" Luffy asked, tilting his head.

"Well of course I'm cold! Aren't you!?"

"Nope."

"Well I must just not be as tough as you then!" she growled. "..Anyway! Where are those idiots and what are they doing!? And just what is going on here!!"

"I don't know." said Luffy.

"Well what are we going to do!?" Nami shouted.

Luffy crossed his arms and frowned. "We can just sleep out here. This grassy part of the deck is really comfortable."

"Maybe YOU can sleep out here, but it's too cold for me!"

"Then wear a blanket."

"All the blankets are in our rooms!"

They stared at each other.

Nami started shivering again.

"When I find them, I am going to kill them.." she muttered.

"I'm going to sleep." said Luffy, lying down on his back in the grass.

Nami glared at him.

"..Roll onto your side." she ordered.

"Huh? Why?" he asked.

"So I can sleep with you." she said. "Now do it."

Luffy blinked at her a few times, then rolled onto his side.

Nami quickly knelt down, lay next to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Their faces were suddenly inches apart.

Luffy stared at her, expressionless.

Nami stared back at him, eyes narrowed.

"You know, any normal man would be blushing right now." she said.

"I don't blush." Luffy said plainly.

"Is that so."

Nami scooted her body slightly closer to him to make herself more comfortable.

"I'm not pressing up against your wound, am I?" she asked.

"No, you are." said Luffy. "But your chest is soft so it doesn't hurt."

"How good for you."

A few minutes passed.

Nami wasn't falling asleep.

Her mind had wandered back to what she had been thinking about since dinner.

Luffy's life would be in danger when they reached the next island.

No one else was taking it seriously.

She needed to make Luffy listen to her.

"Luffy." she said.

He opened his eyes.

"What?"

"When we arrive on the next island, promise me you'll stay on the ship until we leave."

"Why?"

She felt the anger she had at dinner coming back to her.

"I already told you!" she exclaimed. "You can't fight in the condition you're in, so if you get attacked while you're on the island, you'll be killed!"

"I won't get killed."

"You can't just say that! You don't understand how much of a risk you're taking! Just promise me you'll stay on the ship! You love me, right? Then listen to me!"

She couldn't stop worrying about him. He could really die! And no one else was going to ensure his safety!

When he was holding her hand in the medical room, she had realized that he was really in love with her.

Maybe that was why she couldn't stop thinking about him for the rest of the day.

Maybe that was why she was so worried about him now.

But she didn't care what the reason was. She needed to know that his life wasn't going to be threatened and she needed to get this feeling off her chest.

She looked him in the eyes with as much intensity as she could foster and said,

"Promise me, and I'll kiss you."

Luffy's eyes immediately widened.

"Then..you love me?" he asked.

"Why not."

A fairly long period of silence passed as they continued to stare at each other before Luffy finally said,

"Okay. What was it you wanted me to promise again?"

Nami slapped her forehead.

"The next island." she said. "Stay on the ship with me until the log pose sets and we can leave."

Luffy nodded. "Okay, fine. But some one needs to bring me back meat."

"Everyone else will be going to get supplies." she said, putting a hand on his cheek. "They'll bring back food."

She leaned forward, closed her eyes, and pressed her lips against his.

xxxxxxxxxx

"Do you see them!?" shouted Franky. "It worked! 'Franky Midnight Deck of Love' was a complete success! Everything went as planned!"

"I really didn't think it would turn out this well.." said Usopp, staring down at his two kissing crew mates.

"I'm also rather surprised.." said Robin.

"Hahaha!" Franky laughed. "Didn't I say my plans never fail!?"

"MMMMMMMMPH!!"

Zoro looked down at his seat.

"What? Do you want to see?" he asked.

The swordsman lifted the cook up by the ropes on his back and let him look out the window.

Sanji immediately scanned the deck.

Then he saw them.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!! (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!)"

Usopp sat down. "So I guess this means there's nothing left for us to do."

"It's amazing this happened only one day after he confessed to her.." muttered Robin.

"So when are they going to mate?" Chopper asked innocently.

"Well, they probably won't do it out there." said Franky.

Zoro lifted Sanji back up and lay him on the floor.

"I'm going to sleep." he announced, resting his head on Sanji's back.

"MMMMMMMMMMPH!! (GET OFF ME YOU SHITTY BASTARD!!)"

"I'm also tired..." said Usopp. "..But there aren't any pillows up here.."

"There's still alot more room on this guy." said Zoro.

Usopp lay down over Sanji's legs. "Oh, I guess you're right. This is comfortable."

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!! (BASTARDS!!)"

"I deserve a rest too." said Franky, lying down on the unused portion of Sanji's back.

"Me too!" exclaimed Chopper, laying his head on Sanji's neck.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!! (I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!!)"

Robin used her ability to create a cushion of hands for herself and lay down as well.

"I hope Nami won't be mad in the morning.." said Usopp.

"No need to worry!" Franky exclaimed, making himself comfortable on Sanji. "She's finally discovered love! There's no way she could be mad!"

Within a few minutes, Zoro, Franky, Usopp, Chopper and Robin had all fallen asleep.

An hour later, after exhausting himself from cursing his male crew mates, Sanji fell asleep as well.

Out on deck, as Nami fell asleep in her captain's arms, she muttered,

"Those idiots set this up, didn't they..."
