Canon Fodder

I woke up the next morning to find Nami still there. It was close to dawn as a light streamed in from the window. At first I thought she was asleep but then I noticed that her gaze was actually locked downward. My very erect 11 inch dick was bulging in my pants. And she was openly staring at it.  

 

“Morning,” I said. She jumped in fright. Whatever daydream or nightmare she was having while staring at my dick, gone. 

 

“Umm morning,” she said shyly looking up at me. I kissed her forehead and she smiled widely. 

 

Kissing my cheek she whispered, “thanks for last night.”

 

“Anytime,” I said. “Feel better.”

 

“Mmhmm,” she whispered. “I slept like a rock. But we have a busy day today. We should get up.”

 

I nodded, but she didn’t move. “You have to start the getting up process for me to get up,” I reminded.

 

She frowned. Cuddling closer to me as she whined, “but you’re so comfy.”

 

“You too,” I said. Then we relaxed by simply laying with one another. My erection eventually left as I stroked her hair. She let out a long sigh. 

 

“I haven’t slept this well in a long time,” she said. 

 

“It’s me. I’m a great body pillow.”

 

“You are,” she said, pulling in closer. “I don’t think I can sleep without it now.”

 

“Then you’ll have to move into my room on the ship,” I said. I could feel her heartbeat quicken. 

 

“Maybe I will,” she whispered. Her face nuzzling up into me as she blushed. We continued to lay there but it was soon interrupted by her bedroom door opening. 

 

“Nami are you-“ Nojiko said as she burst in. Then stopped as she noticed us. “Oh…sorry for interrupting.” Heading right back out, Nami jumped up, embarrassed and chased after her. I chuckled and got up as well. 

 

The morning was a mad scramble after that. We found Luffy sleeping on someone’s roof. As big as a boulder I had to roll him to the ship. Zoro had gotten out of bed somehow so we strapped him down again for at least another day then Sanji carried him to the ship. Usopp had fallen asleep in a gutter so I had to carry him back too. After that Sanji talked with the local grocer as we refilled our provisions. 

 

Nami gave Nojiko the chest of money but wanted to discreetly leave. That didn’t work as news spread quickly. By lunch time the entire town was at the docks to see us off. 

 

Luffy was conscious and Zoro yelled at us to let him out of bed but we all stared at the shore. Waiting for the navigator. 

 

She made a big show of walking through the town center. Then when she got close she started running through the crowd. People yelled angrily as she did. At the dock she jumped to the boat and yelled for us to cast off. 

 

We did and as we drifted away she showed the crowd all the wallets she had stolen. Ever the cat burglar, the crowd yelled angrily at her. But she wasn’t much for goodbyes. She wanted to let them know she hadn’t changed. Nami was still a thief. But we left on a good note. After the groans people laughed and waved her off. 

 

As she walked to the helm I turned in my quest to save her village and a stack of 10 million berries appeared in my hand. I handed it to her and a smile split her face. 

 

“You still owe me a favor,” she reminded. I nodded and we were on our way. 

 

“Where to next, captain?” Nami said, a smile on her face as she turned the wheel. 

 

“To the Grand Line. To One Piece!” He yelled happily. 

 

“Okay,” she said. “…where’s that?” There were confused looks from all of them. 

 

I rolled my eyes. “We have to go to Logue Town,” I said.

 

“Where the last pirate king was executed?” Luffy asked excitedly. 

 

“The same. That’s the last stop before the Grand Line,” I said. 

 

“Perfect,” Nami said and we were on our way. 

 

—-

 

The world of one piece was odd, at least to Earth standards. There was a current that flowed West to East that basically followed the equator called the grand line. The only break of the current was a continent called the Red Line, which was a continent that went around the world like a ring. 

 

The Red Line was the safest entrance to the Grand Line. There were 4 entrances where water flowed up a mountain that those in the 4 separate quarters of the world could enter the grand line. The 4 separate corners of the world were North Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and East Blue. We lived in East Blue. 

 

Logue town was the closest island port to the entrance of the grand line for those in East Blue. The town had a large marine presence as well as a tourist attraction. As the birth and execution site for the first and last pirate king. Gol D. Roger. Or Gold Roger. The man that Luffy looked up to. It was always filled with people.

 

From Gosa Village it was about 6 days of travel to get to Logue Town. During that time I continued to work on trying to isolate my Haki. Which was hard since my chakra was all around it. Like trying to distinguish between one muscle and another, they all felt the same. With that I also depleted my chakra as I switched between controlling water or making it. 

 

Also during that time my relationship with Nami got better. She didn’t come to my cabin the first night. But the 2nd night after leaving Logue Town she did. Nami was angry at me for not coming to her room. I said I didn’t want to push her. She grumbled, cuddled up to me, and we slept in the same bed every night after. 

 

We hadn’t really gone past kissing. And never outside of my quarters. We both preferred to keep our closeness secret from the rest of the crew. I wasn’t sure where things would lead, but I enjoyed her company, and it was way better to sleep in the same bed as her than alone. 

 

I spent most of my time sitting near her on the railing as I meditated over Haki or practiced my water jutsu. She too still practiced and most everyone had gone through the Basics of Spiritual Enegy/Haki at least once. For Luffy I had to dumb it down. But I was confident he understood. 

 

The 3 advanced Haki books were out of my reach for now. Each one cost 100,000,000 berrie. I hoped I would get some quests for some serious bucks to try to get them. 

 

During that time I decided to go through our finances. Nami had been using the ship treasure chest as her own piggy bank. And after Sanji had to ask for money for food and she tried to charge him interest I took over for her. 

 

Kaya, who gave the crew the Going Merry, had gifted them 200,000 berries. We had also defeated Don Krieg and split the 17,000,000 bounty with Baratie so they could rebuild the damage from the pirate. The world government taxed all bounties 25% before paying. After a crew meeting I set a hard 50% to be kept for ship upkeep. Another 25% for provisions, food, and medicine. Then the last 25% was split between the crew. 

 

I offered Luffy more since he was the captain, but he didn’t really care about it, and I didn’t fight him. He would spend it all on food anyway. So everyone was left with 200,000 berries for spending money. Nami still had the 10,000,000 I gave her and probably had more squirreled away, but she was as much part of the crew as everyone else. 

 

We arrived in Logue Town, a bustling port city. Sanji went off to restock supplies. Usopp went with him for ingredients for his ammo. Luffy went sightseeing, and Zoro went to go buy 2 quality swords because the ones he stole from the fishmen were not the best. 

 

Since he had money I worried he wouldn’t borrow any from Nami, but he ended up borrowing another 200,000 but at only 50% interest. Zoro understood he needed quality, so he risked it. I really wanted to go with him, but Nami browbeat me into shopping with her. 

 

As Nami shopped I played around with my status screen. Dutifully giving my opinion on clothes I played with the Storing function of the screen. I could push my Chikyugi into my Status Screen and it would disappear. Storing itself. 

 

The System, or whatever controlled my screens, had stated that only quest rewards could be taken outside the world. Playing around with it I pushed a berrie into the screen and a new Currency tab appeared.

“Cool,” I said quickly storing the other 199,999 berries I had. No longer worried about being pickpocketed, I gave Nami my full attention. 

 

“This?” She asked. A practical white shirt with orange stripes. 

 

“Yep,” I said. “Matches your hair.”

 

“You say that for everything orange,” she said, rolling her eyes. 

 

“Says the girl that had a bunch of orange trees planted on the back of our ship.”

 

“What? Scurvy is a serious concern,” she said. “It almost killed that one guy.”

 

“True,” I said. “Come on, you got a million outfits. Let’s keep browsing.”

 

She nodded and dumped them on me. I dutifully carried the bag as she dickered the saleswoman to half price. 

 

“That was inspiring,” I said as we walked out of the store. 

 

“Not mad?” She asked. “My sister always gets pissed off when I try to negotiate every sale. She gets embarrassed.” A large crowd steaming through I made a B-line for a weapon shop I noticed. 

 

“No, money is king,” I said. “Why worry about someone’s feelings at a shop when you’ll probably never see them again? Worst they can do is say no. And if they say yes, you know they’re still making a profit.”

 

“Jeez, you put too much thought into it. I just like to not give up my money,” she said. Stopping at a small accessory shop I walked past to the weapon shop. Looking in the window I watched as Zoro threw the cursed sword in the air. 

 

My heart skipped a beat as the sword twirled in the air straight at his arm but the blade didn’t touch him as it sunk in the ground. A wide grin on my face, seeing that was the only reason I wanted to join him at the weapon shop. Of all of them I fangirled on Zoro the most. 

 

“You can go in if you want,” Nami said, coming up behind me. 

 

“I’m good now. Although maybe I should look into some throwing knives.” After a quick glance there were no knives inside that I could see. “Come on, we can look somewhere else. I don’t want to ruin our date.”

 

I started walking us back down the street. Nami was quiet, I noticed her blushing. “What?”

 

“Nothing,” she mumbled. “You uh think this is a date?” 

 

“Isn’t it?” I asked, confused. She blushed more. “I mean we are sleeping together.”

 

She hit my chest. My arms filled so I wasn't able to block it. “Don’t say it like that,” she grumbled. 

 

“What? We are.”

 

“Yeah, so. You make it sound dirty.”

 

“Fine, sleeping in the same bed.” She blushed more, covering her cheeks. “What? Do you regret it?” She busied herself looking in another window. 

 

Eventually she answered, “no. Just never done anything like this before.”

 

“I can tell,” I mumbled. 

 

“What was that?” She asked, her interest piqued. 

 

“Nothing,” I said quickly. “Want an ice cream?” There was a small shop and we were soon walking down the street as she ate an ice cream. My hands were full with her bags so she would grace me with a spoonful now and then. 

 

“Have you figured out your dream yet?” I asked. 

 

“I uh always knew it,” she admitted. “Like you said. I wanted to make a map of the world. But honestly, it’s good to be free. Since I was a kid I worked under Arlong. Always looking for someone to steal from. It’s nice to simply do what I love to do. Drive the ship. Draw my maps. No drama.”

 

“There will be plenty of drama soon enough,” I promised. 

 

“Oh yeah, why’s that?” She asked. 

 

“Because we’re pirates,” I said. “I’m surprised Luffy hasn’t gotten a bounty already.”

 

“A bounty? Why?” She asked, worried. 

 

“Because he did the marines job for them,” I admitted. “The marines don’t like it when the bad guys do good work. They’ll put a bounty on him and all of us no matter what we do.”

 

“I’ll never get a bounty,” she said confidently as she finished the ice cream. 

 

“Wanna bet?” I asked with a big smile. 

 

“Sure,” she said. “How much?”

 

“10,000,000 berries,” I said. 

 

“Oh our usual I see,” she said. “Okay but there’s gotta be a time limit. I’m not making it for more than a year.” 

 

I thought back. I thought I remembered once that Oda Eichiro said that between the start of One Piece to the Grand Line arc it was only 2 months, though it took him 10 years to draw. I felt like travel took a lot longer than what he estimated but I could have been wrong. I was fairly certain that Nami got a bounty after fighting CP9. 

 

“6 months,” I said. 

 

“Deal,” she said. I set down the bags and we shook on it. 

 

“Not gonna bet if I’ll have one,” I asked. 

 

“Oh no. I’m surprised you don’t already. You did hit that marine.”

 

“I did. But he deserved it,” I said. We went by more stores and finally ended up at the center of town. Right in the middle of the courtyard was a tall platform at least 30 feet tall. The courtyard was bustling with people. 

 

“What’s that?” Nami asked. 

 

“Executioners platform,” I said. “For pirates. It’s where the pirate king was executed.”

 

“Woah. Looks like someone’s up top,” she said. I looked up. As we walked closer I was able to make them out. One was a villain I hadn’t had the chance to meet. Classic pirate hat, and a red bulbous nose, he was easy to remember. 

 

“Is that buggy the clown?” Nami asked. Fear in her voice. I nodded. Under him trapped in a pillory, with his arms and hands stuck in vices, was Luffy. 

 

Buggy was yelling something that we couldn’t hear over the crowd. Raising a sword above his head he aimed it right at Luffy. Dropping the bags I yelled, “get back to the ship.”

 

I jumped through the crowd. Watching as the sword slowly descended towards Luffy’s neck. 2 things happened at once as the blade dropped. One, I got a quest. And 2 a white blinding light streaked down from the sky directly on Luffy.
