Spider's Café

The desert sun was still in the process of setting as the princess and their pirates neared the end of their long journey to Yuba.
"When did I turn into your camel?" Y/N growled as he led the group with Nami on his back.
"The same time you decided it was a good idea to leave our money in an underground cave!" Nami scolded him. "I told you that you were going to be punished for it, now since you're not carrying the money bag any more, you're carrying me."
"So your idea of punishment is having me carry a petty girl on my back?" Y/N asked dryly. "I think you might be losing your touch cause that's not much of a punishment in my book."
"Of course it isn't," Ollie agreed as she walked behind them glared daggers at Nami's back, "The Pirate Princess will say anything if it keeps her from actually having to walk to Yuba like the rest of us."
Nami looked over her shoulder and glared at the archer, "There's a difference between needing to be carried and wanting to be carried," she retorted. "I could walk to Yuba just fine, but it seems like a waste of my effort when we've got Eyelash and this guy."
"And here comes the bickering again," Y/N muttered loud enough for both of them to hear, "The only thing that would make the rest of this trip even more unpleasant is if it was still blazing hot out."
The others all trailed behind them with Vivi leading the pack, without Nami convincing her to ride Eyelash, the Princess was now walking amongst the pirates. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, and Han soldiered onward while Chopper managed to keep up with them in his Brain Point form, now that it was getting dark it was getting cooler and the reindeer could handle traveling, besides, they'd lost the sled. As usual, Usopp was at the back of the group looking exhausted.
"Ugghhhh... will someone please carry me too?" Usopp groaned. "C'mon Eyelash..."
"GRUMPH!" the now passengerless camel refused with a shake of his head. "Gruhgrahgrum."
Chopper quickly translated, "He says 'Not happening, no male passengers'."
"You guys!" Vivi called out, "We're close now! Yuba's just passed those rocks up ahead. One last push and I'm sure we'll make it."
Her words were met with a loud cheer, everyone was glad that the long journey was almost over.
"YUBA OR BUST!" Luffy exclaimed as he ran passed Vivi and shot ahead of the group.
"That's Yuba!" Sanji automatically started to correct him as he and Chopper followed Luffy passed Vivi, "Oh wait, he finally got it right."
"Come on Zoro, I'm light!" Usopp pleaded as he staggered after the swordsman passed Vivi.
"Suck it up," Zoro retorted.
"Hey! Carry me too, Zoro!" Luffy added.
"Morons!" Zoro snapped, "The only one carrying anybody is Y/N!"
"Y/N!" Luffy, Usopp, and even Chopper called out, "CARRY US TOO!"
"Hey! Get off!" Y/N complained as he suddenly had to deal with Luffy and Usopp hanging off of his shoulders, Chopper sitting on his left foot, and Nami on his back. "Damn it, I'm already carrying two thousand kilograms in weights, get the hell off! There's a camel right there!"
"Hehehehe," Nami laughed then looked over her shoulder and grinned teasingly at Ollie, "See? These three don't need to be carried, they want to be carried."
Ollie silently glared at her as she, Zoro, and Sanji followed Y/N and his four passengers.
"Damn kids," Zoro muttered as he eyed the four younger pirates hanging off of the First Mate.
