Part nine - Once, a liar, a cheater and a deciver met 14/??

- Come on, Nami, - Luffy waved at her slightly, urging the girl to calm down. The scuffle that began below did not bother him at all. - If there are a lot of zombies, then you can always make a bunch of glass coffins and hang them behind the sides of our future ship. Can you imagine how it will all look? Such a ship floats, but if you look closely at it, you can see a bunch of zombies locked in glass coffins. That's horror! A?

Has it already been said that Nami has always been a smart girl? So, not only has she always been smart, but she has never complained about a lack of imagination. What's even worse for her ...

- Stand still when I kill you!

- No, Zoro, no! It's not my fault! It's all Yosaku!

- Oh, you bastard! Zoro, don't listen to him, it's all him! It's all his fault!

- Shut up, I'll just kill you both!

... long-term communication with Luffy completely erased from her idea what is possible in this world and what is not. In general, Nami quickly and in all the smallest details imagined the picture described by Luffy about a ship hung with glass coffins, with living (?) zombies inside. And from the presented picture she wanted to cry. One more "Thing" is better!

- Noo, I won't be able to sleep on such a ship! And I don't want a ship hung with glass coffins with twitching zombies inside! No zombie skeletons or decaying but still living corpses! I want the most ordinary ship! Luffy, am I really asking that much? - the girl literally whimpered her last question. - Just an ordinary ship, nothing more, please! - folding her hands on her chest in a prayer gesture, Nami, eyes shining with tears, looked at her captain.

At this point, the men usually started to die, so even the thick armor-skinned Luffy got a little penetrated.

- Don't worry, - embracing the girl, the guy began to soothingly pat her on the head, - someday we will definitely find ourselves a great ship, I promise.

- Someday? - echoed the words of her captain, the girl pressed against his chest.

- Soon, it will be soon! - Luffy hastened to reassure her.

- Do you promise? - Nami sobbed slightly.

- Sure!

- Give me the floor?

- Absolutely!

- Oh, finally! - Nami sighed with distinctly audible relief. - Now you can't get out, - the girl pulled away from her captain, tears were gone.

- I… I can't believe I fell for this, - Luffy sagged, hiding his face in his hands.

- To be honest, neither do I. - Nami admitted. - Tears have never worked for you before ... Has our terrible captain finally let up the slack? - at that moment, Nami's smile looked much more like a grin than a smile. - So, even bloodthirsty monsters have weaknesses?

For someone who recently stated that "there are only idiots around her, unable to remember a few simple rules", Nami too easily broke one of them herself. Never giving Luffy ideas is one rule. Never try to "win" over Luffy is another rule. And it was him that Nami broke so frivolously. The rule was born for two simple reasons. Firstly, it was extremely difficult to "win over Luffy", therefore, in the vast majority of cases, it all always ended in complete failure. To put it mildly. And, secondly, if anyone ever did "win over Luffy", then no one ever got away with it. Never.

- Nami, do you know what is most important in playing with fire? - Luffy asked the girl without lifting his hand from his face.

The tone the captain used made Nami's smile disappear by itself. And she also realized with painful clarity that it was better for her not to know the answer to Luffy's question, but here it is like with the bars of gold stored in the bank. On the one hand, not yours, but on the other, you still can't take your eyes off.

- What? - it seemed by itself, pronounced the girl's lips.

- You need to know when to stop on time. You will have a ship, there will be. However, I remember that you wanted a big, soft bed? I'm sure a thick mattress thrown on top of glass coffins with zombies will go well for a large, soft bed. - Luffy took his hand away from his face, and now his face showed a smile that looked more like a grin.

This time, real tears sparkled in Nami's eyes, but she didn't have time to say anything: the guys who were torn under the tree finally ceased to hold back. First, the surrounding forest drowned in a sea of ​​fire, then all the trees in the area began to tumble to the sides, and in the end the whole thing just flew into the air. Deafening the world around with a monstrous roar, the pillar of fire stretched to the very heavens. It may not have been mentioned yet, but some of Zoro's techniques interacted with Johnny's techniques, just as the detonator interacted with explosives.

- It seems to me that we were compromised, - Luffy said in a deliberately serious way, standing in the midst of the still burning ash and holding the still slightly deafened Nami under his armpit.

A little to the side, a pile of burned earth stirred, and then she began to swear at all in the voice of a displeased Yosaku. A little further, several logs scattered with a crash on the sides, and a disheveled Johnny appeared into the light. Zoro walked slowly out of the smoke nearby, looking as if he had nothing to do with what had happened. I was just passing by. Nami groaned and stirred, causing Luffy to get her to her feet. Holding her head, the girl looked around a little inhibited. The area around looked as if a monstrous bomb had exploded here.

- What… what happened? - asked Nami. - Did someone attack us?

Approaching Zoro, Johnny and Yosaku, throwing their eyes at the girl, immediately began to look for something around.

- Only if a fit of idiocy, - Luffy replied to the girl. - Today it turned out to be especially explosive.

Nami had already started to move away from the effects of the explosion, so she was able to grasp the meaning of Luffy's answer:

- You ... you bloody idiots! - the girl's furious glance darted between the guys who were not looking at her diligently. - You almost killed me! I am, unlike you, a normal person! And I can actually die!

- Of course, Nami, you are absolutely normal, and the fact that neither bullets nor swords harm you is a trifle, - Luffy readily agreed with her.

- It's just the power of the Devil Fruit! I didn't mean it!

- Just the power of the Devil Fruit, - Luffy chewed on his lips thoughtfully. - Oh, okay, no matter how it was, but it seems to me that there is no point in hiding further ... And by the way, about hiding, shih-chi-shee ... - Luffy leaned forward slightly, staring directly at Nami's chest.
