She Loves A Man Whose Not Around

One piece

Nami/Zolo

A/N: Warning: I use the American Name for Zoro, which is Zolo. I do this because I like Zolo better, it sounds less Antonio Banderez. ENJOY!!

There's a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes

It amazed the villagers of the small port town of Kamiya, how little they knew about their latest, new resident. She went by the name of Nami, with no last name to speak of. She had long, flaming red hair, and a beautiful hour glass figure. She wore a braided sliver chain with a locket on the end. No one had ever gotten close enough, though, to see the name engraved on it. For the first few years after her arrival, every boy and man in the village swooned over her, or asked for her hand. But she turned them all away.

She moved into the old run down mansion at the top of the hill over looking the sea and port. The mansion itself was extremely expensive, not to mention the repairs that would have to be done. The fact that she could spend money without even thinking amazed the villagers.

It took 6 months for the house to be done and as soon as it was done, Nami was seen waling into the most popular pirate's pub in town, The Pirates Spring. Villagers watched baffled as this seemingly wealthy young woman, asked for a job as a bar tender.

And there's a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin' whiskey down

They say "Brandy, fetch another round"

She serves them whiskey and wine

It's been 6 years to the day, since the mysterious young woman moved into town and the villagers of Kamiya had pretty much given up on trying to figure her out. That is, until he showed up.

The sailors say "Brandy, you're fine girl(you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

His hair was a strange sea foam green, his eyes as black as coal. He was tan, as if his whole life had been spent in the sun. And he was a fighter, his three swords and numerous scars were a testament to that.

He walked slowly, as if he hadn't a care in the world. He spoke to no one, looked at no one, and walked with intent steps. His path took him pass the pirates 'The Pirate's Spring', an apparently popular pub. He passed the window, the door, the second window. He had reached the ally between the pub and the building next to it and stopped.

People watched curiously as he back tracked to the second window and peaked in. their curiosity rose as a wide smirk spread across the face.

Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the north f Spain

A locket, that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loves

On lookers continued to watch baffled as the strange man continued his journey towards the old mansion on the hill.

He came on a summer's day

Bringing gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldn't stay

No harbor was his home

The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine girl"

"What a good wife you would be"

"But my life, my love, and my lady is the sea"

do do do do do do do do do

It was late, when Nami walked out of the pub and began her journey homw. The full moon was high in the sky and lighted her path.

The sudden sound of running footsteps caught her attention and she stopped and turned to see the sorce.

"Miss Nami." A short, round, balding man called, followed closely by a slightly taller, but still pretty well rounded man.

"Where's the fire, mayor?" Nami asked jokingly. The older man gasped for breath before answering.

"I have been informed that there's a man waiting for you at your home." He said.

"What?" Nami asked confused. "Do you know who?" the man shook his head 'no' "Well, do you know what he looks like?" she asked. The other man answered.

"Sea foam green hair, scars, three swords." He explained. Nami's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you alri…" the mayor was cut off as Nami took off running toward the house. "Nami!" the older man called after her.

At night when the bars close down

Brandy walks through a silent town

And loves a man whose not around

She still can hear him say

Flashback

Nami rested her head in the crook of Zolo's shoulder, taking in his warm masculine scent. Their journey had come to an end and the future was still unclear.

"Do you know what you want to do next?" Nami asked hopefulness in her voice. Zolo was silent for a moment before answering.

"You know, as a kid I never thought I'd end up being a pirate," he said, holding Nami closer. "The ocean seems to have this pull on me." He continued. "I don't think I'm quite ready to dock yet." Nami looked ahead sadly. "What about you?"

"Some place small." She replied. "A small port town maybe." She replied. Zolo didn't comment or reply to her plans.

The two lovers laid silently together, wrapped in each other's arms.

"Marry me." Zolo said breaking the silence. Nami's eyes widened in surprise.

"What?" she asked looking up at the swordsman.

"Marry me, and when the sea stops pulling, I'll come find you and we'll be together forever." Nami smiled.

"Who knew you were such a romantic." Nami replied caressing his cheek. Zolo smirked. "When the time comes, search the port towns. I'll be in the house with the best view of the sea. And I'll work in a pub where all the pirates hang out, so I'll be able to keep tabs on the sailors stories and maybe I'll hear of you."

Zolo smirked as he pulled Nami closer.

End Flashback

Nami dashed down the stairs that jutted out of the hill leading to her home.

She stopped breathlessly at the top to see him sitting on the porch steps.

He looked up when she approached and he smirked.

"Yo." He greeted. Tears began welling up in Nami's eyes as he stood full height. She took off running towards him and jumped into his arms. Her tears spilled from her eyes as joy over took her.

A/N: Ok, thinking about some more chapter for this one. Tell me what you think. Please review.
