There it was, the pressure shift. The tell tale sign that there was a storm coming. The wind had quit about an hour ago, giving her an estimate of about thirty to sixty minutes before they were hit. The pressure was still dropping, about seven percent every two minutes. That wasn't good, it meant it was a big one, even bigger then the storm that brought them to the grand line.

"Hey guys listen up!" Nami yelled from the deck above. The crew stopped what they were doing and turned their attentions to the young navigator.

"What's wrong Navigator- san?" Robin asked looking up from her research books.

"The air pressure is dropping drastically. There's a big storm headed this way, we have to prepare." She explained.

"How far out?" Chopper asked innocently.

"About thirty to sixty minutes north, north east." She explained.

"Should we try to out run it?" Usopp asked putting his tools away.

"I'm not sure we can but we can try. The air pressure drop is getting stronger, that means the storm front is picking up speed and power." Nami explained.

"Well then, we better pick up some speed too." Zolo said setting his weights down and grabbing a towel.

"It's not that simple, there's no wind which means we'll have to row by hand." She added. Zolo shrugged.

"Luffy, dart board brow, Frankie and Chopper, grab an ore and start rowing." Zolo said simply as if it were no big deal. Nami starred at him incredulously.

"RIGHT!" The four boys chimed together.

"Hey why didn't you tell me?" Usopp exclaimed.

"Do they really need to answer that?" Robin answered.

Nami watched from above as the crew got to work. It'd been four years since the straw hats had set out on their trip, and in that time the crew had grown closer then ever. She smiled lightly as she watched them, moving about objectively.

Not only had the crew gotten closer as a whole but each individual had created their own special bond with each other.

Between the girls of the crew they had become best friends enjoying each others company for the pure fact that they were women with good hygiene. As for their relationships away from each other, Robin had found herself a lover in Frankie. It was a simple relationship, one they tried their hardest to keep private, and the rest of the crew respected that.

They had an intellectual type of relationship in public, they would talk of her work as an archeologist and he, even if he didn't completely understand would listen completely intently. Meanwhile she had taken an interest in his own mechanical work, saying that she found it important to at least know the basics in case she were ever in an emergency, which happened more often then not in their lifestyle.

In private they shared soft intimate moments, wrapping themselves in each other, loving the feel of the other against their naked flesh.

Nami on the other hand, after much flirting and fighting and headaches, had created a relationship with Zolo. They too kept their love life private, confining it to small, seemingly insignificant gestures in public and loving and robust in private. She would snuggle up to him on rare occasions while they lounged around the ship just drifting, and he would make it a serious habit to wrap his arm around her hip while they walked through different towns, warding off possible perverts near his territory.

In private they had a type of carnal relationship. Zolo had always had control, and never let himself completely go with any woman. He couldn't, if he did he would probably kill her. But when it came to Nami he soon realized just how tough she really was. He supposed he shouldn't have been too surprised, she was the step daughter of a former navy marine, and had been in the company of pirates her entire life, she was the epitome of strong, sexy and deadly.

She on the other hand loved when Zolo touched her. He was rough, yet gentle at the same time. Contrary to popular belief as well, he had an extremely soft heart around her. He held her, cuddled her, he even helped her through the occasional nightmare. He completed her.

As for other relationships, there was a rumor that Luffy had been keeping in touch with Vivi of Alabasta. He denied it but he never really was all that good at lying. Something to do with his innocence. Also Usopp had once let it slip that he had too been keeping in touch with an old friend, Kya from his home town. Apparently she was a doctor's assistant and doing so much better.

Sanji had remained single preferring to mingle with multiple women when they docked at port. And chopper never showed an interest in women anyway, probably contributed to the fact that he wasn't human.

"Navigator- san?" Robin said snapping Nami out of her thoughts.

"Wha?" Nami asked confused not even realizing she was being spoken to.

"I think the storm is closer then you estimated." Robin said.

"Why?" Nami asked still dazed and confused. Robin lifted her arm and pointed toward the north eastern sky. There on the horizon was a large storm cloud that would no doubt carry with it, devastation.

"Brace yourselves guys!" Nami yelled down below. "This isn't going to be pretty."

"Nami watch out!!!!" Zolo screamed running toward the young navigator, who was holding onto the mast for dear life. He lunged at her, grabbing her and pulling her away in time to save her from the wave that swept up on deck. He looked down at the terrified woman in his arms. "Are you alright?" he asked. She nodded meekly.

"We're getting tossed!!" Robin screamed holding onto Frankie for dear life as he too held her and chopper in his embrace to keep them from flying away in the wind.

"Hang on everybody!!!!" Sanji yelled as the boat was hit with another series of waves.

The straw hat crew's screams could be heard among each other, but they knew that no matter how hard they screamed they couldn't do anything but hold on and pray.
