"I said, give me a better discount" Nami said staring at the cashier blankly banging her fist on the counter, a pile of clothes next to her.

"Shrewd as ever Nami" Nicole spoke up from next to her, her own pile of clothes next to her, though it was much smaller then Nami's.

"No way ma'am, you're asking me to sell all these clothes for half price! That's a bit" the cashier was cut off as Usopp called for the two ladies.

"You can buy clothes at Fish-Man Island, we need to buy fuel" he said.

"No" Nami simply said before going to get another pile of clothes.

"We still have plenty of time and money, don't worry so much Usopp" Nicole said.

"You got here second, haven't you done enough shopping?" Usopp asked sweatdropping.

"I haven't actually, i've been doing other things these past few days, involving a certain swordsman and a lot of sweat and that's all i'll say about that" Nicole said blushing lightly as she looked away.

Usopp was smart enough to get it and blushed a bit too "Well i guess it has been two years, at least you two are did enough catching up" he said.

"Oh no, we're hardly done, well we are at least until we reach the New World" Nicole said just as Nami came back with a second pile of clothes and placed it next to the firs pile.

"I'll buy these too so discount them by 90%" Nami said, the cashier was stunned silent for a moment before he yelled out "No!"

"Hey, hey, you got better at bargaining after two years" Usopp commented with a sweatdrop.

Nicole giggled a bit and watched the cashier flounder as Nami negotiated a discount, eventually the cashier caved in for an 85% discount.

The two ladies were done shopping for clothes so they rented a bubble bike and headed to buy fuel next, while heading back from the fuel shop Usopp spotted a familiar looking reindeer.

"Hey Chopper! Hey!" he called waving.

"Here, here!" Nami called waving too.

"Over here!" Nicole called waving as well.

"I knew it was Chopper!" Usopp said

Chopper turned to look and smiled "Usopp!" he greeted once he had left the bubble bike.

"Oh man, you got so big! You must be comfortable to ride, doing okay?" Usopp asked circling around the reindeer.

"Uh-huh!" Chopper nodded in reply.

"He's right! You're so much softer than before! It's been a long time Chopper!" Nami said hugging the reindeer.

"My cuddle buddy!" Nicole greeted hopping over and hugging Chopper as well, nuzzling into his soft fur "Oh wow! Your furs like a fluffy soft towel, i love it!" she gushed.

Chopper looked at them both a little confused due to meeting the fakes earlier.

"Nami? Nicole?" He asked.

"Yeah?" Nami replied.

"Oh yeah! I'm glad to see you guys but this is no time for that, Robin is in trouble" Chopper told them.

Nicole furrowed her brows confused as they got back on the bubble bike "Explain everything Chopper" she said and the reindeer turned back to his smaller form and told them what happened.

The other three sweatdropped "Chopper, those guys were clearly different people" Nami said.

"Huh? You mean they're imposters? That's why there's two Nami's and Nicole's?" Chopper asked.
