I Like This Feeling, Don't You?

an eventful day

As the second day of staying at the Ichiba Island came into light, Nami shined just as bright while she greeted her fellow crew mates. Behind the joyous navigator was the biggest star in the world shining its morning light. "Ohayou, minna!" While it was only 9:23 am, she had so much energy within her, she couldn't help but use it. Nami walked over to the reindeer to grab his body and throw him up in the air with a giddy grin. She even gave him a tight hug and the crew watched the scene with confusion.

Chopper didn't understand her morning attitude but he wasn't going to complain at her sweet gestures. He only laughed away with her and greeted back, "Ohayou, Nami!"

Due to a long night of story-telling from the archaeologist, Brook still wasn't entirely awake. Like the rest of the crew, he also found Nami's morning attitude strange. "Ah. Luffy-san must've given her the bracelet last night; maybe that's why she's so happy," Brook blurted to himself.

The rest of the Straw Hat pirates except for Nami, Luffy, and Chopper heard and spun their heads to the skeleton's direction and gaped. Usopp rushed to the musician's side and pulled his collar back and forth, shaking him. "Oh c'mon Brook! You couldn't have said that in your head?"

Brook grew dizzy and only mustered a "Gomennasai..."

Robin snickered at her crew member's behavior as she glanced over at the cat burglar. She recalled assisting in leading Nami's attention to the note underneath her plate so Luffy may talk to her. However, that was a strange way of the captain asking for a conversation. Normally, he would have yelled out her name and ask her to step outside. Instead he went through the trouble of writing a note to tell her. It was particularly weird. She's sure Brook's words held truth in it. Another snicker escaped her lips. Assuming Brook and Usopp knew beforehand he would give the bracelet to Nami, Luffy's usual action would be embarrassing since those two already know what will be talked about. Maybe that was the reason behind it.

Striding Robin's way was Nami carrying Chopper with one hand and the other waving to her. Robin gave her a smile. "Good morning, Navigator-san. What has you in such a good mood?"

Nami smiled back while handing the reindeer to the archaeologist. "Oh nothing special. Just thought I'd start the day with a positive attitude." She shifted her stance to stare at Zoro who stared back with wide eyes. She tsked. "Eh??? You're awake already? Hmph, I was hoping I'd kick the sleep out of you."

The swordsman couldn't help but feel appalled to see Nami so happy at a bracelet not even made of diamonds. He assumed the bracelet Luffy got for her was cheap since he had no way of affording such an expensive gem. Her good morning freaked him out and he thought she'd also direct that merry grin onto him. Thank Kami he was being treated the same. "Shut up, witch. Your greeting was just loud as hell."

The tangerine lover rolled her eyes. "Funny how that woke you up but not the times when I'm yelling right to your face." Her attention was then directed to Sanji's figure crying on the floor at the news he heard from Brook. Though, she had no idea about that. "Ah, Sanji-kun! No need to make breakfast for me! I'm going to eat on the island for today! Gomen!" With that said, she waved bye to the older woman before heading towards her grove.

Usopp had already let go of Brook and when Robin decided to join them he whispered, "I wonder what she was doing yesterday."

Robin chuckled lightly. "I believe she spent her day with a man. He was weird, I have to admit."

Usopp's cheeks exploded. "W-w-w-w-w-what??!??!!?"
