What's Not To Love

Chapter 40

Nami paced inside of the men's bunker. The crew members watched her the entire time, not saying anything. She continued to mumble to herself quietly, before she was interrupted.

"Nami?"

The redhead turned to her captain who stared back, worried. He continued. "Are you okay?"

She continued to stare at him before sighing. "No, Luffy. I'm not."

"Why not?" he asked. The other members stared at her as they waited for her answer.

She crossed her arms lightly as she spoke. "Because, Luffy, we have to rearrange the groups to go on the island." Sitting across from the group, she began to explain. "Zoro and the twins can't go since the weather is too unpredictable and Zoro's mental health is a little...unstable." The crew gave sympathetic looks at the mention of it. "Sanji is injured and won't be able to get any food supplies, which means someone has to go in his place but also needs to know what to get. We still need to get stuff for the twins too and be mindful of what and how much it costs. Chopper also said that he needs to get more supplies." She glanced out the window as they approached the island. "But we have to be quick. It's too dangerous to stay for too long."

The members sat quietly, thinking about the navigator's words. They wanted to help as much as they could.

"Navigator-san" Robin called out, making all eyes turn to her. " I have a suggestion."

Nam sat forward, eager for a solution.

"Franky and I can go get any supplies for the cook. Chopper and Usopp can get the medical equipment and anything else we may need." Smiling slyly, she ended with, "And you and Luffy can get the childrens' things."

Nami stared shocked at the raven haired women. This was not the time to do match making.

"Sounds good." Luffy said, standing up. He looked at Nami with a big smile. "Whadya think, Nami?"

Robin answered for the orange haired women who seemed lost for words. "I think she is happy with the arrangement captain."

Luffy beamed at her before turning towards the other members. As he spoke to them, Nami just stared at his back. Being alone with him was the last thing she had wanted.

Sanji stood in the Gallery, staring at the mess in front of him. Pots,cups and utensils littered the wooden floor. Some of the chairs were turned over while others had slid along the wooden floor to other parts of the room. Taking a deep breath, Sanji stepped further into the gallery. He stepped over some cans as he approached the fridge. He opened it, stared blankly for a moment, and then closed the door. With one hand on his hip, Sanji raked his hand through his hair as he closed his eyes. Swallowing hard, Sanji tried to keep his mind calm. Some of the seasonings had spilled over, as well as drinks. There was some leftover food that seemed to have fallen over too, adding to the cooks dismay. Opening his eyes again, he walked over to the small closet where he stored other foods. Glancing in, he saw some of the vegetables on the floor, some badly smashed and others he could save somehow. He didn't need to check the freezer since he knew that it was practically empty.

Leaving the small space, Sanji just stood in the middle of the gallery. He knew that he should be preparing a list but it was hard considering he wouldn't be going himself. Hearing the door open, Sanji watched as the cyborg made his way into the room.

"Sup, bro." He said as he approached the cook. He avoided some of the cans on the floor as he got closer. "Robin wanted me to get the list of ingredients from you." Looking around, he commented, "The storm really did a number here."
