Um...so I'm not dead. Sorry for not updating, homework is killing me. I know I REALLY should get the next zanpakuto short-shot and the next chapter of Misted Horizons out, but inspiration hit me. Here's the next drabble.

Title: Treasure

Summary: Nami knows it's not about the treasure, but she can't help wondering.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece.

She knows they're not in it for the treasure.

Nami loves money, but even she knows that One Piece isn't the reason Luffy wants to be the Pirate King.

Still, she can't help but wonder, what is this treasure that everyone wants to find?

Is it a chest of gold and silver, coins and jewelry?

Is it a marvelous city, where gold lines the road?

Is it a whole cave of gold bars?

What is it?

Nami doesn't know, but One Piece must be extremely valuable if every pirate out there dreams of finding it.

But is there a treasure?

Nami frowns as she thinks this. What if there isn't any treasure, or the treasure is something that only Gold Roger would value?

A shout stirs her from her thoughts. She glances down and sees Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp below. Sanji is holding a plate of cookies in his hand and yelling something about stealing, and Luffy pouts.

Zoro opens one eye from his place next to the crow's nest, and says something that makes Sanji burst into a fit of rage that starts another squabble.

Nami sighs. She thinks that Zoro and Sanji really relish their arguments, and they're never really angry at each other.

Usopp is reassuring Chopper that he'll get them out of this, that the Great Captain Usopp has escaped from dangers worse than this, and proceeds to tell Chopper all about it. Luffy has crept over to the forgotten plate and is stuffing cookies in his mouth.

Nami smiles. What a bunch of idiots, she thinks slightly fondly, as she gazes down at the quarreling crew and remembers the adventures they've had.

She glances up as a flash of color catches her eye. In the sun, the figurehead of the Thousand Sunny seemed to glint gold.

Gold. Treasure.

Nami gazes down at the quarreling crew and remembers the fantastic adventures they've had.

Then she realizes, it doesn't matter if they don't find One Piece, because they've already found a priceless treasure.

How was that? Good? Bad? Horrible? Please review!
