Nami stood at the bow of the Going Merry, her eyes darting frantically across the shoreline in search of Naruto. They had probably circled the island a few times by now. "Where is he?" she mumbled under her breath, anxiety creeping into her voice.
Sanji, leaning against the railing, took a drag from his cigarette and sighed. "We've circled the island twice and he's still not here? That kid sure knows how to keep a lady waiting," he muttered, his irritation thinly veiled.
Suddenly, Usopp's eyes widened in panic from his perch in the crow's nest. "Crap," he exclaimed. He looked down at the crew below, his voice urgent. "Nami! We still can't shake the Marines off! We need to go or else we're going to sink!"
"Not without Naruto!" Nami yelled.
Zoro, standing beside her, peered out at the horizon. "C'mon, kid, where the hell are you?" he grumbled. He turned to Luffy. "Didn't I tell him to be here before us?"
Luffy flashed a big smile. "C'mon, Zoro, you know how he is."
Just then, Usopp's voice rang out from above. "Hey, I see him! He's over there!" He pointed excitedly towards a distant figure clad in orange and white.
Zoro shook his head, a mixture of relief and frustration on his face. "Damn kid," he mumbled.
"I got it!" Luffy shouted, his arm stretching out towards Naruto with incredible speed and precision.
"Luffy, be careful!" Nami called out, her voice filled with concern. "The wind is really strong! You might drown him!"
"It'll be okay!" Luffy reassured her, his confidence unwavering. He felt a tug on his extended arm. "He's coming! You better watch out!"
As Naruto was yanked through the air, his laughter and shouts echoed across the water. "Wooooahhh! This is awesome!"
Luffy's eyes widened in realization. "Watch out! He's going to—"
Before he could finish, Naruto crashed into the ship's railing with a loud thud, rolling to absorb the impact before coming to a stop.
"Crash..." Luffy finished, wincing.
"Oi! What did I tell you!" Nami yelled as she rushed over to Naruto, who was sprawled out on the deck. She knelt beside him. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked.
Naruto groaned as he sat up, rubbing his head. "Man, bro. Where'd you learn to steer?" he asked, wincing slightly.
Luffy laughed. "Sorry," he said, grinning sheepishly.
Nami's expression hardened as she glared at Naruto. "Uzumaki Naruto..." she began.
"Uh-oh," Naruto mumbled, knowing he was in for it now.
