Nami watched the scene with her face covered with dust and tears. She knew she looked horrible right now, but she didn't care or allowed to care now. She covered her mouth with her hands, bit her tongue hard in case she would pass out anytime.

How do things turn like this...?

Next her eyes widened in fear, her whole body shook in tremendous despair and terror, tears rolled down her face endlessly.

"That's enough! Stop, Sanji-kun! Please!" She cried to the man in the sky, ready to launch his  strongest attack to their captain.

She bit her lip extremely hard that blood coming out, she couldn't do anything but watched her two best friends, her crews who fought together all these years, now fighting each other to death.

She knelt on the ground with her face paled as white sheet, eyes still pricked with tears and looked at her captain, lying in front her lifelessly.

"Luffy!!!!!!"

She swore she had never been so mad before, not even once in her life. Even the fury facing Arlong when she was 8, it was nothing to be compared with now. That's why she could slap Sanji's face heard without any mercy and hesitation that she knew blood would definitely came out from his lip later.

"Listen closely, Vinsmoke Sanji."

Sanji widened his eyes slightly to the coldness in Nami's voice but managed to keep the emotionless face. Nami looked at him coldly and leaned closer to his ear, felt him froze to her sudden closeness.

"Never start a fight that you can't finish." 

She whispered to his ear, pushed him back hard and returned to Luffy's side, frowned to his wounds.

"SANJI!!!!"

Luffy yelled with all the oxygen in his lungs to the direction of Sanji's carriage. He panted heavily, body shaking from the previous battle.

"What's with that "low-class pirates"?! I know you were saying things you didn't want to! Stop lying! Did you think you can send me away that easily?! Screw that!" He yelled furiously.

"No matter how many time you kick me, aren't you the one...that get hurt the most?!" Luffy's voice began to fill with crying, the pain Sanji was feeling he could understand that very clearly.

Nami widened her eyes and shook her head. She didn't understand Luffy's mind. 

"Luffy! Why?! Whatever the reason is, he can't do this-"

"Shut up!" Luffy's anger yell stopped the rest of Nami's question. She looked at him confusingly.

Luffy clenched his fists tightly, eyes staring at Sanji's direction seriously. "Our journey...isn't over yet!"

"I'll be here waiting! If you don't come, I will be here...starving to death!"

Every Sanji's sibling except Reiju were laughing at Luffy's hilarious face, mocking at his ridiculous speech. Reiju looked at her little brother crying silently while listened to every word from his captain. The sincerity and trust from that young man's voice was something that her other brothers would never understand.

"You are the cook of my ship! I won't eat anything other than what you cook!" 

Even Nami who was still mad at Sanji, couldn't help but touched by Luffy's words. The pain for losing their best friend worsened with the sincerity of Luffy's voice in her heart.

"Even if I get hungry or spears rain down on me, I will stay right here and wait for you!" 

Luffy felt his vision was getting blurry and strength drifting away from his body quickly. Still he didn't give up and looked at Sanji's carriage.
