I still think Nami should have gone with Law- but I guess her body was fine, so I'm sure she'll get it back eventually. Anyway- I'm basing this chapter on the assumption that they remain allies and defeat whatever yonkou Law's after... and that he gets his crew back either during or after that. I also went with a playful Law- he kinda gives off that vibe sometimes... he's laid back and seems to be able to have fun, especially when you look at his interactions with his crew (I miss Bepo :( ). Though, I do feel I made him a bit OOC at the end... but whatever, he's a little too busy at the time to be in character :P
Anyway- more Sanji and Zoro torture, just because I can, lol, and lots of flirting between Law and Nami.
A few weeks after their alliance formed, the two crews somehow succeeded in taking down their targeted yonkou, and, as is custom, decided to celebrate in style aboard the Thousand Sunny.
Law found himself sitting on a couch in the aquarium bar, watching his fellow captain play with Bepo, while nursing a mug of beer that had been thrust in his face. As he sat he couldn't help but watch the scene around him in amusement, smiling to himself as the party atmosphere actually put him in quite a good mood. His own crew was easily joining in with the revelry, linking arms and dancing with Usopp and Chopper as they drank the night away.
He was slightly distracted from his observations as the Straw Hat navigator slid onto the couch next to him, curling up against him to the annoyance of her ship's cook. Law had quickly learned the game she was playing- piss off the blonde man as much as possible as payback for touching and ogling her body while trapped in it. He knew, even as he let an arm drape around her shoulders, that it was supposed to be a punishment for him, too, seeing as he was the one who switched them in the first place. It was too good of a punishment to pass up, though, so he willingly played along for the fun of it.
The Heart captain couldn't help but watch Nami, the amused grin on his face widening ever so slightly, as she 'sneakily' slipped his hat off his head, taking it for herself with a playful raspberry sent at him. He only chuckled, shaking his head at her teasing while pulling her in closer, the ale helping him enjoy her company even more.
As they worked together during their alliance, the young woman had quickly lost her suspicions of him, and seemed surprisingly willing to work with his crew despite her nervousness about taking down a yonkou so early into their voyage in the New World. She became quite at ease with him, and even seemed to enjoy spending time with him during the short period.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself," the red-head teased, leaning on his shoulder as she spoke quietly.
"Hmmm…" he hummed in thought, turning his head to look down at her smirk before leaning his face closer to her own. "Your captain knows how to put on a good party… and the company certainly helps."
He emphasized his last statement by dropping his hand to her exposed waist, tickling the skin and then squeezing just enough to get a small shriek out of the woman.
"You're not supposed to be enjoying my company, you know."
"What normal, red-blooded male wouldn't, Miss Nami?" He regarded the navigator, leaning in further to whisper suggestively in her ear, his lips brushing the shell as he spoke. The shiver that he felt race through her body had him smirking in delight- the game had gotten even more interesting.
"You caused me a lot of trouble these last few weeks," she responded with a pout, pulling away slightly to catch his smug grin.
Law pulled away himself, shrugging indifferently as he let his head drop back against the couch, watching the still pouting woman from the corner of his eye.
"Maybe I should charge you…"
"Too bad for you I can't pay you back, or, at least, I don't care enough to," he said, chuckling as her pout turned into a half-hearted glare while turning her attention to their respective crew members. Law did the same, his laugh turning into a snort as he watched his poor Bepo be assaulted by the Straw Hat captain, the teenager's rubber arms wrapping around the polar bear multiple times as he hung onto his back. Usopp and Chopper had joined in, latching onto their captain as they insisted on getting a piggy back ride. The rest of his crew were slowly passing out, apparently not quite as tolerant to alcohol as their allies were, though he noticed a few of Luffy's crewmates didn't seem interested in drinking at all.
Movement from next to him once again drew his attention to the navigator, surprised to find her leaning her head on his shoulder as she watched Sanji and Zoro argue over nothing but their pride. The doctor couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the contemplative look on her face as she assessed the two men, obviously coming up with some sort of devilish scheme that would surely torture their psyches.
Law couldn't help but hope he was involved somehow.
He got his answer when she turned her face up to him, the evil grin from her sweet lips telling him he had been right in his assumptions. All she did was nod at him, then nod at them- that was all the information he needed to understand what she wanted done, and he wasted no time in doing it.
"Shambles."
"WHAT THE HELL?" The two previously arguing crew members yelled out as they realized what had happened, drawing everyone's attention to the confused and incredibly angry pair in the middle of the room.
All anyone could do was blink in confusion as the pair seemed to be arguing as they normally were, really no different than any other time. Though they could tell something seemed off- it didn't make sense that Zoro was calling Sanji a 'shitty marimo,' or that Sanji was calling Zoro an 'ero cook.' The ringing laughter coming from the couch had the crews looking at Nami who was apparently fully aware of the situation, and was delighting in every minute of it. The doctor next to her seemed to share her amusement, according to his own excited grin.
"Oh, Sanji-kun!" She suddenly called out, trying to get the cook's attention on her.
The crew watched as, instead of the blonde man, their green haired swordsman snapped to attention, noodle dancing over to her, singing about his beloved Nami-swa~n.
"What the hell did you do you damn witch?" The blonde left behind hollered at the woman, surprising everyone with his rough tone.
At that point the more observant members of the crew figured out what was happening, laughing along with their navigator at the switch that had been made between the two men. Only Luffy and Chopper watched in confusion, looking between all the parties involved with frowns on their faces (Luffy also picking his nose) as they tried to figure out why their cook was uncharacteristically angry at his favorite crew member, and why their swordsman was suddenly swooning at her feet.
Despite their confusion, though, they couldn't help but laugh with everyone else as they watched Nami suddenly stand and drape herself over the swordsman's body, letting her voluptuous breasts brush over his slightly exposed chest, being as flirtatious as she could. The result was what they could only expect from Sanji- a massive nosebleed that caused the man to fall to the floor unconscious, much to the woman's enjoyment.
Zoro, in Sanji's body, as they had finally figured out, immediately started hollering at Nami while trying to pick up the wreck that was his own body, the woman only falling back onto the couch in laughter. Before he could actually move to attack her, though, Sanji, in Zoro's body, immediately stood and leveled a kick at the other man's head in her defense. The two apparently had no qualms with hitting their own forms in their anger, allowing a fight to break out- which everyone also enjoyed, seeing as Zoro's body was kicking, while Sanji's was suddenly using punches.
"Wait a minute!" Zoro called out, stopping their fight as he realized how stupid it was. "This is all Nami and Law's fault! We should be fighting them!"
"I agree with you on Law… but don't blame my precious Na~mi-sw- huh?" Sanji answered, turning towards the couch where the culprits had been sitting, but cutting himself off in confusion as he found their spots empty. The pair had vanished in the chaos of their argument. "Where the hell is my Nami-swan?"
Unbeknownst to them, hidden safely abroad the yellow submarine tied to the side of the Thousand Sunny, Law found himself chuckling as he heard the cook's angry shouts as he looked for the missing navigator. Said navigator was humming happily underneath him, ignorant of the full chaos they had caused with their sudden disappearance as she enjoyed the captain's attentions.
The leader of the Heart Pirates had only just used his devil fruit powers to transfer them to his ship, while wasting no time in throwing Nami into his bed, capturing her lips as he showed her what happened when she teased him for so many weeks. He was happy to note she didn't seem to mind the rather sudden change in scenery, much less the new position she found herself in.
"Guess this will be the end of our peaceful little alliance," he mumbled offhandedly while nibbling on the red-head's neck, his hand gracefully roaming her body, as he listened to Sanji and Zoro's calls for them.
"They'll get over it," Nami hummed back; too busy helping him remove his hoodie to care about her crewmates.
"Still… it might be best if I get out of here before dawn," he reasoned to her, but was surprised when the lithe woman managed to flip their positions as he spoke, straddling his waist as she grinned down at him playfully, her hands snaking behind her back to begin pulling on the strings of her bikini top. "Or maybe not… I'm sure you're right- they'll get over it."
No more words were exchanged that night as Law quickly enjoyed an unexpected, and far from unwanted, perk of his new alliance- one that was sure to maintain it until the inevitable time to challenge the other captain for One Piece came.
In the end, he found the entire alliance more than worthwhile- even the part with a reindeer tied to his head.
