Narrator POV
Nami has been down since they left the Gold Field. She didn't get any gold at all.

Luffy tried to cheer her up by asking her if she wanted her to buy her something. But Nami was not that thick faced.

She may likes, or loves money. But she isn't a gold digger. At once, she thinks of Luffy as annoying who doesn't know how to go with the mood of others.

In the dorm. Nami lock herself up in her room. Even Vivi, her closest one. Can't even make her out of her room to eat.

Luffy just watched Vivi went gloom while she sat down eating a buffet she ordered. "Vivi. Just stop already. Let her be." Luffy tried to console Vivi but as Robin said. She's not good at words when it comes to comforting others.

Luffy offers food to a person who is sad, and if it didn't work she'll try to give them a money. Luffy grew up to a household that didn't teach the kids how to communicate with others.

Luckily, Ace and Sabo knows how. It's kind of unfair to think. Her aunt teach Ace how to be polite and others stuff, like how to say thank you and sorry. And Sabo... Luffy's father offered Sabo a guidance. At the age of 7. Sabo went vonage with her father. And being with adults and mature people. Sabo teach himself how to blend in.

Luffy is left into her grandpa's hold. Her grandpa usually come to visit her once or twice a month. She is left with her nanny's guidance. A person who is also don't know how to communicate with people.

Ace is with her. Until Ace turn 18 and got accepted to the academy where everything is left unsolved. His uncle. Ace father's brother, Newgate. Help Ace to get in there.

Luffy need to wait 4 years before turning 18 and have a permission to go to the academy where Ace went.

Having a contact with Ace. She knew that Sabo also went there. Her brother always teased her that she won't be able to enter because she's a crybaby and not smart enough.

Going back to the current situation. Vivi just let out a sigh and wish Luffy goodnight and went back to her room.

Vivi can't understand Luffy. Yes Luffy is sure interesting child but the fact that no one can understand her clearly is stressful.

For Vivi, Luffy is someone you're glad you have and at the same time you wished to not have.

It's already late. It's curfew hours. All the lights and doors in the dormitory is shut and closed. Luffy waited a bit more time. She was getting some timing.

She sneakily went to Nami's room to wake her up.

"Hey Nami! wake up!" She whispered yell into Nami who is currently sleeping.

Nami's POV
I tried to ignore Luffy's calling. She sure can be annoying sometimes. or maybe... nevermind.

"Hey Nami! do you want to get some gold with us?" Like I would believe you about that. You only find it unconsciously.

"The others is waiting for us, Nami..."

I groan a little and made her face my back. "Get out... I'm tired." I said as I cover myself with my blanket.

"Hey Nami, Did you know Robin said you are good at navigation. Robin said you'll be an asset next week after the gathering."

What is she blabbering around? Is she going to offer me a money again? Do I look I can be rented?

"Nami... come on... we'll go gold hauling with others!" She's persistent. Let me think about it. What if this was something else like a prank.

"Okay... I'll go with you if you give me your share." I said to her. Of course it's Luffy. Luffy is easy to read but hard to understand. It's readable that she doesn't care about any gold treasure.
