Chapter 1

"Dinner is ready, my lovely Robin-chwaaaan!", came Sanji's voice, his tone an octave higher on the end part of his sentence that ended with her name.

Robin looked up and chuckled at the look on their cook's face. Fluttering pink hearts all around him, his whole body wriggling and vibrating, slight drool on his face, a big pink heart instead of an eye under his unique, curly eyebrow.. Robin laughed, she's been subjected to this look many times now by their dear Sanji-kun, but it doesn't make it any less funny.

"Hai, arigatou Sanji-kun", Robin said with a smile on her face. She put down her shovel and stood up, her legs hurting a little by kneeling for too long. She looked at her flowers and beamed, they're growing beautifully.

"Would you like me to carry you to the dining room my love?", came Sanji's exaggerated reply.

"Iie, I'll be fine by myself Sanji-kun", Robin said. Robin removed her gloves and placed it beside the shovel. She climbed the ladder down towards the dining room and kitchen, leaving the wriggling cook behind her. When she got down, she turned around and saw the table beautifully loaded with delicious delicacies. An appetizing aroma filled the whole room and Robin could feel her stomach slightly rumbling. Robin smiled at the cook's effort as she went out the door to see where the others are. When she got outside, she leaned at the railing and looked down at the lush green lawn below her. She saw Usopp, Chopper and Luffy trying to climb the slide. They all tumbled backwards when they lost momentum. When they reached the bottom with a loud thud, Usopp and Chopper screamed in delight as Luffy laughed like there's no tomorrow. She shifted her eyes and saw the handsome Zoro sitting by the foremast shining his Wado Ichimonji. His other two swords are on the ground lying very close to him, the white case of his treasured blade not far behind. Brook sat by the swing drinking his tea with his own unique cup, his deadly violet cane leaning against the tree. She could hear Franky hammering away below deck. Nami was nowhere to be seen.

"Oi shitty bastards, eat!", Sanji said grudgingly, a little louder for everyone to hear as he appeared behind her. Robin turned to him and chuckled at the sudden change of mood of the cook. Luffy looked up to Sanji and Robin as soon as he heard Sanji's yell. He noticed the delicious smell coming from the door that Sanji accidentally left wide open. His stomach rumbled audibly and he smiled widely.

"MESHI!", Luffy yelled happily with his wide grin as he raised his arms in the air.

"MESHI, WOOHOO!", Usopp and Chopper yelled in unison as they too raised their hands in the air with happy faces, trying to imitate Luffy.

Still grinning, Luffy extended his arms and grabbed the railing as he shot himself up to the second floor, landing next to the raven haired beauty. Usopp and Chopper both ran and scrambled up the stairs to reunite with Luffy, spirits still high as the after effects of their play. Robin smiled at the three of them as the smell of grass from their clothes mixed with the aroma of the foods inside the dining room and kitchen.

Upon hearing Sanji's call, Zoro reached for the case of his Wado Ichimonji and sheathed his white sword. He grabbed hold on all the three blades and stood up as he tucked all three swords into his haramaki using his right hand. The white cloth he used for shining his sword lay discarded on the green grass. He would just get it later after dinner.

"Yohohoho", laughed Brook gently as he followed suit. The setting sun coated Thousand Sunny with a soft orange glow and birds were chirping peacefully above the calm skies that he was feeling a little sleepy and was about to doze off when Sanji called. He took one last gulp at his now turned cold tea and stood up, making the swing creak and move a little by his actions. He grabbed his cane and made his way to the dining room, getting behind the green-haired swordsman.

As Zoro and Brook went up the stairs, the hatch on the lawn opened with a loud thud. Luffy looked down at the lawn. His curious eyes were immediately greeted by Franky's light blue hair as the cyborg emerged from the hatch.

"Supeeer! I'm starving!", Franky said as he looked up at them with a grin on his face. They all grinned back in return. He closed the hatch and made his way upstairs. When Franky reached the second floor landing, he went inside the dining room as everybody settled down. Luffy sat down immediately, eyeing the cuisines on the table hungrily. Usopp and Chopper settled down at each side of Luffy, feeling excited to eat as well as they felt Luffy's contagious eagerness to eat. Brook sat beside Usopp and settled his special cup on the table, marveling at the magnificent presentation of the foods before them. Zoro quietly sat down in front of Brook, stomach also grumbling. Robin sat beside the green haired swordsman as Franky went to the fridge. Sanji, knowing what the cyborg desires, went to the kitchen and opened the fridge for Franky by pressing the numbers 7326.

"Arigatou!", Franky said, still grinning, as he reached inside and grabbed a big bottle of cola. He sat down at the sofa, next to the personalized sleeping Den Den Mushi of the strawhats, and chugged his big drink, feeling refreshed.

Sanji smiled and turned back to the kitchen. Luffy was already wolfing down foods, his rubber arms shooting at all directions as he tried to steal food on everybody's plates. Zoro grunted annoyingly, looking down his plate with a scowl on his face, as Luffy took his meatballs while Robin just chuckled and willingly gave hers. Usopp and Chopper were shielding theirs and trying to eat their meals quickly before Luffy takes them. Not wanting to deprive their captain of his happiness, Brook just laughed and made no attempt to stop Luffy as his whole plate was sent flying into their captain's wide and hungry mouth. Franky stood up and went over to the table to get some takoyaki. He chuckled as the normal chaos that occur everytime the strawhat's ate resumed around him.

Robin noticed Sanji still working in the kitchen. "Coming, cook-san?", she asked softly as she turned around to look at the cook. Luffy did not miss the opportunity and hurriedly grabbed Robin's serving of meat off of her plate. He grinned widely as if thinking that he just outsmarted the dark haired archeologist.

Sanji smiled at the statement of the dark haired woman but did not turn around. "Arigatou Robin-chan for your concern, I'm just preparing Nami-san's food. I'll bring it to her first, she must be starving by now", he said frowning a little at the thought of Nami.

The sudden change of mood in the room was slightly unnerving as their navigator's name was brought up. The whole room became quiet as the clanking of plates and utensils abruptly stopped. Luffy's arm stopped in mid motion as he frowned at Sanji's back, his right hand stopping just above Chopper's unguarded plate. Usopp also looked at Sanji with the same expression as Luffy's. Chopper looked down at his plate with a sad expression. He paid no mind to Luffy's right hand looming dangerously close to his dish as the little reindeer remembered the orange haired woman. Brook also stared at Sanji's back, his mouth hanging open and his face with a blank expression. Franky leaned down to put his bottle of cola down at the floor. He crossed his arms as he leaned back against the sofa, looking up at the ceiling as he felt the uneasy atmosphere. Zoro's right hand was halfway between his neck and mouth. He was in the middle of eating his sushi when the subject of Nami was brought up. He could feel the tension around him as he placed his untouched sushi back to his plate, feeling uncomfortable as the awkward silence consumed the whole room.

Sanji stiffened for a split second as he also felt the tension surrounding him before continuing preparing Nami's food. He cursed himself inwardly for bringing up the subject. Robin, noticing the stressed cook, frowned and stood up from her seat and walked over to Sanji. Sanji looked up with a shocked expression to the dark haired beauty. Robin just smiled at him.

"Let me help you with that cook-san", she said, still smiling.

"Ro-Robin-chan, you really don't have to-", Sanji said, feeling surprised by the archeologist's offer of help.

"Iie, I insist", she said with a definite tone as she reached over and poured soup into Nami's bowl.

Luffy put his arms back into their original state and crossed his arms, leaving Chopper's food untouched and completely forgotten.

"Is Nami still acting weird?", he asked with a confused and concerned expression, tilting his head to the side.

Chopper sighed and looked up with a frown at Sanji and Robin's back as they prepared Nami's food. "I wish she would let me examine her, I'm worried about her", the little reindeer said.

"Don't worry doctor-san, Nami-san is just fine, she just doesn't want to be disturbed, that's all", the archeologist said as she lined some sushi on a plate using chopsticks. Sanji, realizing that he cannot stop the raven haired beauty in her attempts to lend a hand, finally let her help him. He was now rummaging inside the fridge, deciding to make a sweet tropical drink for the girls and hoping that it would cheer his dear Nami-san even for just a little bit.

Chopper looked down again as his frown deepened at Robin's word, contemplating whether to believe it or not. It's been three days since Nami started acting all "weird", as Luffy would like to call it. And to be honest, Chopper couldn't find a more suitable word for Nami's behavior. She woke up one morning and just suddenly, she doesn't want to come out of her room except when she wants to take a bath. She doesn't want to talk, she doesn't eat with them, she leaves the navigating to Robin and only comes out when she sense danger that she knew Robin wouldn't be able to handle to navigate. She acts like she usually does when she takes over Robin, and they all thought that everything's back to normal again only to have their hopes crushed whenever she went back to her room when the weather stabilizes.

"Is she really not telling you anything Robin? You both share a room anyway..", Usopp asked, also weirded out but at the same time concerned at Nami's behavior.

"I'm afraid she doesn't longnose-kun", Robin said sadly. Robin placed the sushi loaded plate into the tray with a slight frown on her beautiful face. Much to her disappointment, her answer to Ussop is nothing but the truth. Nami refused to tell her anything, no matter how persistent she had been.

"She's sick, isn't she? She's sick and she doesn't want to tell us..", Chopper said sadly with a strained voice as he looked up at Robin. Robin turned around to look at the little doctor. She frowned when she saw that the reindeer were fighting back tears.

"She's not sick doctor-san, she just doesn't want to be disturbed, that's all..", Robin repeated kindly with a warm smile. She knows that her words offer little comfort but she's just telling the truth. Robin gets to spend the most time with Nami more than anyone in the crew since she's the only one who can access their room. Nami may not share to her what's wrong but that doesn't give Robin the right to be oblivious to what can be readily observed whenever she looks at their navigator. And because of that, Robin's certain at one thing. Nami's not sick. She's not sick at all. She doesn't look sick, she looks more.. Sad than sick, to be honest.

Chopper used his arm to wipe his teary eyes and looked down once again. He's still not convinced with Robin's answer.

They should be thankful, actually. They got the better end of the deal. Isn't it better that their navigator is sad instead of coming down with an unknown illness? Of course it is. Isn't it?

"It's better, right?", Robin asked herself.

Robin sighed and continued her work on Nami's tray. Sometimes she worries about her own answer to her self-imposed question. She's not saying that she wants Nami to be sick. It's just that Nami being sad brings about so many unwanted thoughts or scenarios inside her head. Maybe she's not happy with the crew anymore? Maybe they're too much of a burden for her, a hindrance in completing her dream? She thought about the many times when Luffy and the others accidentally ruined her maps.. She gripped the chopsticks in her hand tightly as her thoughts consumed her, sometimes being born with a curious and probing personality have its disadvantages.

"Robin-chan, are you okay?"

Robin broke out of her reverie and looked at Sanji who was looking at her with a concerned expression. She faked a smile and said, "Yes, I'm fine Sanji-kun", before turning to look at the tray again. She picked some takoyaki using the chopsticks and placed it on a plate.

Sanji continued to look at her with concern adorning his face, not sure whether to push the subject further or to let it go. He noticed the hand gripping the chopsticks rather tightly and the fake smile. He frowned and decided to let it go. He's not that insensitive for him not to know that Robin doesn't want further probing. First Nami-san and now Robin-chwan? Well that's just great. He continued with the drinks, feeling gloomy.

Robin's thoughts wandered again as she continued with her work. She had always been an insecure person. With that said, it's rather a unique and expected characteristic of her to expect the worst case scenario in order to avoid disappointments. Usopp and the others may take it as a joke when she says something morbid or ominous but in reality, that's just her way of coping with her fears. The word horrible would do no justice in describing her past life. She's determined not to return to that kind of existence anymore when she became a part of the strawhat crew. With them, she experienced happiness which felt so foreign for someone with a past like her. Being with them and knowing that she's not alone anymore is more than what she bargained for. She doubted if the crew even knew how deep her gratitude goes. It would be an understatement to say that the destruction of the crew is her greatest fear. If something terrible was ever to happen in this crew that she loves so much, it would be the death of her.

If her suspicions are correct and Nami is really not happy with them anymore, it would surely crush the whole crew. The whole crew would be devastated. The crew may not break up but the crew would never be the same again, on that she's sure. She shivered slightly at the horrible thought. Events of her past life unwillingly flashed through her mind as the possibility of the crew changing for the worse loomed before her. She accidentally dropped a takoyaki on the floor but she didn't notice it as fear made its way on her face.

Sanji paused in his work on the drinks as he noticed the takoyaki that Robin dropped. He looked at her face and immediately his eyes widened in shock and concern. He instantly moved closer to her and touched her shoulder.

"Robin-chan, what's wrong?", Sanji asked quietly, making sure that the others won't hear. They already have enough on their plate to worry about, they don't need another one.

Robin gasped and blinked several times when she felt someone touch her shoulder. She looked at the hand on her shoulder and then looked up to the person who owns it. She looked down sadly when she saw Sanji's concerned face.

"Robin-chan, what's bothering you?", Sanji asked again, fear evident in his voice. "Please, not you too..", he begged inwardly to himself.

Robin closed her eyes and furrowed her brows. She's going overboard with her thoughts again. She's exaggerating things too much, she should really stop this kind of line of thinking or it may become a habit. She opened her eyes as realization hit her. She should be ashamed of herself. She should've known better than to doubt the bond that the strawhats have. How could she think that something so petty would break up the whole crew? How could she think that Nami was ever capable of doing something that would destroy crew? How could she lack faith and trust in her own crew, especially to Nami?

She shook her head, she was being foolish. Everything's going to be fine. Maybe Nami is just going through a phase. For all she knows, her sadness may be something personal that doesn't concern the crew at all. How dare she jump into conclusions when she knows no better about Nami's situation as much as the crew does?

She looked up at Sanji and, this time, smiled genuinely. She felt guilty for worrying him when she knows that he's already beside himself with worry for their navigator.

"I'm okay now Sanji-kun, I'm sorry for worrying you", she said.

Sanji immediately noticed Robin's genuine smile as the raven haired beauty looked up at him. He smiled back at her as he removed his hand from her shoulder and picked up the takoyaki on the floor. He doesn't know if he should believe her or not but if she says that she's fine then it's enough reason for him to stop worrying, at least for now. He knows that she doesn't want them to worry about her too, especially now that everyone is concerned about Nami. He dropped the takoyaki on the trash and continued on with the drinks. He had to make sure that it's perfect for the two lovely ladies. "This drink should cheer them up", he thought happily to himself, a little smile making its way to his lips.

Everyone else was completely oblivious to Sanji and Robin's whispers at the kitchen. Nami still consumed their thoughts.

Luffy was thinking real hard. He still had his arms crossed and head tilted to one side while his handsome face showed a confused and concerned expression. He's worried, of course. He cares for all his nakama deeply. However, along with everyone else, he also doesn't understand what's happening to his navigator. He thought long and hard but he could only think of one solution.

"Hmm, I think she just needs more meat", he said, seriously contemplating whether to give Nami his share of meat for the night so as to make her feel better.

"Baka, that won't do anything", the green haired swordsman finally spoke. He too, had his arms crossed and his one eye closed as he listened to Luffy's stupid suggestion.

"Why? That always cheers me up!", Luffy answered a bit defensively, not understanding Zoro's point of view. Zoro just sighed and decided not to answer Luffy. "It'd be a waste of time explaining things to this idiot", he thought.

"Yohohoho, Luffy-san is amazing", Brook said, truly amazed at their captain's innocence and simple mindedness. "I think one round of my song White Handkerchief will do Nami-san good, if I may say. Yohohohoho!", the skeleton added, trying to cheer everyone up.

"Hm, Nami nee-chan seems to be feeling un-suuuupeeeer these past few days. Maybe re-designing the waver into an octopus would help her", Franky said, his hand on his chin and his face serious as he tried to think of more ridiculous designs.

"Do both of you really think she would like that, BAAAKAA", Usopp said incredulously with his face in a comical scowl as he turned and faced the cyborg and skeleton.

"These shitty idiots..", Sanji thought as he finished the drinks. Robin was about to pick the tray with Nami's food but he beat her to it. Robin looked up at the cook and smiled when the cook said, "It's okay Robin-chan, I'll bring this to her, please continue with your eating".

"Arigatou, Sanji-kun", she said, knowing that the cook was doing it out of concern for their navigator and not for his own perverted reasons. After all, Sanji is a gentleman above anything else.

Sanji smiled and gave Robin her drink, ignoring Luffy's requests in the background to make him a drink too. Robin, drink on hand, walked to the dining and sat beside Zoro once again. Sanji placed Nami's special drink on her tray of food, slapping Luffy's hand away when the rubber man tried to steal it. The blonde activated his Busoshoku Haki for their captain to feel it. "Shitty rubber captain", he thought in annoyance.

Luffy shrieked in pain as he withdrew his hand and rubbed at the place where Sanji slapped it, trying to alleviate the pain. Usopp laughed, Robin chuckled and Brook yohohoho'ed. Chopper smiled a little and Zoro just sighed at their childish actions, opening his eye just in time to see Sanji smacking Luffy's hand. Franky was still seriously thinking about designs, oblivious to the events taking place around him.

Sanji picked up the tray, paying no attention to Luffy's complaints. He was almost at the exit when the door suddenly opened and there stood their beautiful navigator.

Everyone was silent as all of them looked at her in shock. Even Zoro had his brows raised at her. Franky broke out of his reverie and was now staring at Nami with mouth wide open in surprise.

"Na-Nami-san..", Sanji said, breaking the silence, still shocked to see Nami out of her room.

Nami's light brown eyes scanned the whole room. It's been awhile since she last saw them all together in one room. They were all looking at her, dumbfounded. Her eyes rested on the shocked blonde in front of her and she noticed the tray of food resting on his hands. She reached out grabbed the tray of food from the cook. Sanji, still surprised, was not able to do anything. She walked to the dining table, placed the tray in front of her and sat down beside Robin. Eyes followed her every move. It was silent for awhile until Luffy's face broke into a wide smile.

"NAAAAMI! You're here! Shishishi, I'm glad!", Luffy yelled happily . Nami looked at her captain, ears tingling at his sudden outburst. She noticed that his expression closely resembled his wanted poster.

"Hai, hai..", she said lazily, acting as if she doesn't care about her captain's concern. She picked a sushi from her plate and started to eat.

When they heard her speak, the mood inside the room changed instantly.

Many things happened all at once that Nami felt slightly flustered as all her nakama gathered around her.

Chopper jumped down from his chair and ran up to her, tears flowing freely from his eyes. He hugged her knees as he looked at her with a pained expression. Nami looked down at the crying little doctor, her heart breaking when she noticed his teary eyes.

"Nami! I was so worried! We were so worried! We.. We..", Chopper cried. The blue nosed reindeer cannot finish his sentence anymore as he cried harder; not finding the right words to say to make her realize the extent of worry she made him feel. But for Nami, his tears are more than words. Even words could not defeat the power of his tears for her to realize how much worry she caused her nakama to feel.

She looked around each and every one of them. They all looked so genuinely happy to finally see her out of her room. She felt a pang of guilt as she sensed a sign of relief mixed with their happy expressions, as if something heavy was lifted off of their shoulders.

"Suuupeeer! I was just about to go and make a suupeeeer new design for you waver-"

"AAHHH NAMI-SWAAAAAAN! MY LOVELY NAMI-SWAAAAN IS LOVELIER THAN EVER!"

"YOHOHOHO, I'm glad you're eating with us on this fine evening Nami-san! Now, would you let me look at your panties?"

"We should fine you for letting us worry like that you know", Usopp said, grinning at her.

"Or remove our debts on your list, especially mine", Zoro said, agreeing with the long nosed sniper, but also with a slight grin on his handsome face.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to her right. She saw Robin smiling warmly at her. "Welcome back navigator-san", she told her. She smiled back at her as she felt tears forming in her eyes, feeling overwhelmed by their actions. She looked back down at the crying reindeer and smiled at him too.

"Don't cry anymore Chopper, I'm here now", she said kindly as she wiped away his tears.

The little reindeer smiled back at her as tears stopped forming in his eyes. Her gentle smile at him made his heavy heart feel lighter. Chopper chuckled cutely as he wiped his eyes until his face was completely tear-free.

"Minna, gomenasai.. I made you all worry..", Nami thought as she looked up at them once again with a huge smile forming on her face. She did not need to say it out loud, they're family and she knew that no words are needed for them to understand each other.

Luffy's silly laugh remained dominant over the noise of the whole crew. "YOOOSH! Now that Nami's here..", he yelled as he raised his mug, "KAAANPAAAAIII!"

Zoro reluctantly raised his glass but he cannot hide the smile forming on his face. Robin raised hers happily, completely forgetting all about her thoughts earlier now that Nami's here. Chopper went back to his chair to get his mug while Usopp placed his arm around Luffy's shoulders as they both raised their mugs high. Franky leaned down to get his bottle of cola as Brook laughed while raising his own mug. Sanji reached over and grabbed his own drink, also smiling.

Nami just chuckled as she raised her own glass, looking at Luffy's happy face. "These idiots.. Always finding a reason to kanpai.. This crew is the best...", she thought as she felt her heart swell for the love she felt for each and every one of them.

"KANPAAAIIII!", they all yelled happily.

Author's Note:

PLEASE READ

How is it? I hope it's not confusing.

This is supposed to be a one-shot and then I thought.. What a horrible one-shot, eh? I did not even say what Nami's freaking problem was. Anyway, I have some ideas for this story. If many of you wants me to continue this into a full fledged story, then please say so in your review. I must warn you though, when I continue this the rating may go up to T or maybe even M plus it's going to have Romance, Drama and a bit of Angst in it with the pairing LuNa and hints of ZoRo.

So the choice is yours my readers. If I get many reviews wanting me to continue it then I will but if not.. Well there's no point, right? Lol.

Anyway, one-shot or not I hope you all like it! It's very descriptive, I know, and some may not like it that way because I think it makes the fic a bit boring but that's how I write. I think writing descriptively leaves no room untouched for the reader's imagination.

Sanji may be a bit OOC. Do you agree? Hmm, I'm sorry for that. I wanted Sanji to act serious when situations are serious. If there are more characters that you think is OOC, please kindly tell me. I'll do something about it. I hate characters that are OOC, sorry for the strong word, so as much as possible I won't write them that way unless really, really needed.

Last but not the least, I'm terribly sorry for my wrong spelling/grammar/punctuation. English is not my mother language so please do forgive me if my mistakes disgusted you in any way, especially the OC's out there. I should know because I also possess that characteristic, hahaha! This is my second fic, the other one being a SasuSaku pairing Naruto fic. You may read it if you want but it's not finished. That story was saved at my old laptop and I was already 2 or 3 chapters ahead with it but then something horrible happened to my cursed laptop that is not even worth mentioning here. I was terribly depressed about it so I did not continue to write it anymore. I did not write for a long time after that incident, lol. I'm sorry!

Please don't flame me too much. Thank you and please review.
