The Sneaky Cat-Burglar Nami

Chapter 7

Chapter 7:

Nami realized that she has it bad...way way bad. They have been sailing for a couple of days after having left Splash Island when Nami, like all the previous days, once again caught herself staring at their raven-haired Captain.

Nami had just finished watering her mikan tree's on the upper deck and was now taking a quick breather. She was leaning on the railing, resting her chin on her hand when she caught sight of none other than Luffy. And what a sight it was, she thought to herself.

Luffy was engrossed in a volleyball competition with Franky, Usopp, and Sanji on the lawn deck where they had set up a net in the middle, Chopper on the side acting as referee.

Nami reminded herself to thank her lucky stars later because Luffy had apparently decided to play around topless, wearing only a red and white striped board shorts, his straw hat hanging behind him. She watched as his muscles flexed and stretched with every movement he made. Sweat glistening and slowly dripping from his chin, to his neck, to his firm chest, then down to his washboard abs. Nami unconsciously licked her lips and swallowed hard, the shine in her eyes glistening with desire.

"Like what you see, Nami?"

Startled, Nami broke away from her perverse thoughts as she turned to her side, only to be faced with none other than Zoro, a playful smirk plastered on his face.

"Wh-what are you talking about, Zoro!? I wasn't staring. I was just worried that Luffy might catch a cold. It is quite chilly today after all." She stuttered, faking a laugh, and mimicking as if she were freezing.

"First of all, it's at least 50°C out, and you being the most weather savvy on this ship, I'm sure you already know that. So...nice try. Second," He paused, his smirk growing wider. "Who said anything about Luffy?"

Nami was taken aback. She had just outed herself to Zoro. Immediately she composed herself. From a look of shock, her face then turned devilish, an air of darkness surrounding her.

"Zoroooo~" she said in a deep, slow voice, causing shivers to crawl up Zoro's spine. "One word about this to anyone I'm charging you 1 billion beli"

"You-you witch! That's extortion!" He complained.

"Well, as long as we have an understanding then we're all good" Nami said in a playful, cutesy voice, now surrounded by an angelic glow.

"Women are scary" Zoro thought, as he sweat dropped. "Whatever." He hmph-ed. "With you ogling at him like that, you're bound to get caught by the others sooner or later" he reminded, as he walked away towards the crow's nest for an afternoon nap.

"Shut up" she yelled towards the swordsman. "I know that but...I just can't help it." she whispered to herself.
