One Piece Fan Fiction ❯ A Weird Pack ❯ Chapter 2
“Guys, be careful when falling!”
While falling? They certainly did not expect this. Even Merry's eyes popped out of their sockets when they suddenly began to fall. Fortunately, before long, the special octopus balloon from white sea surrounded their ship and slowed their fall.
“Hahahaha. It was a lot of fun.”
Luffy's laugh spread like a bell all over the sky. The captain of the Straw Hats no doubt enjoyed their adventures on the sky island. They had not yet landed, but they were no longer in the sky. Just like their current situation… They weren't just a regular crew, but were they really close enough to be called a pack? Luffy wanted them to be his pack. Just like with Ace and Sabo when… Just like with them.
"Hey, guys..."
Zoro realized that his captain's mood had changed and he was preparing for a serious conversation. That's why he warned and stopped Chopper and Usopp, who were still dancing. Realizing this, Luffy smiled:
“I think it's time for us to be a pack.”
Yes… An awkward silence. This was another unexpected event.
“Luffy is right.”
Were unexpected events happening too often? Nami couldn't have formed this sentence, could she?
“We've been through so much together and if we're going to continue this long adventure, I think we should be a pack too. Being a crew is good but not enough. As a pack, we become stronger.”
“Nami…”
“Luffy, I'd be happy to be a pack with you. If you accept me too."
Meanwhile, their cute doctor slowly approached their captain.
“Luffy.”
“Yes, Chopper.”
“I don't have a sub-gender like you. Can I still be in the pack?"
“Do you want to be Chopper?” ' asked Nami.
“Doctorin would sometimes talk about having a pack is such a good thing and he misses her old pack. I want to be in a pack with you too.”
“Then you're in my pack, Chopper. Right now it's you, me and Nami."
Nami was slightly annoyed. It was Luffy, after all. How many times have he saved them, their captain who could risk everything for them. How could they not want to be a pack with him? Would they remain silent?
“Say something! He may be an idiot, but he is our captain and you have an obligation to answer him.”
It didn't come off.
“Zoro!”
Zoro turned to Nami as she called out to him.
“Frankly, I don't care about these types of things. Luffy ,do you really want me to be in your pack?"
"Yeah."
“Then I'm in your pack. You're our pack leader and head omega."
"Since you're in Zoro, you're the head alpha."
"Ha! I did not accept that.”
“You expect me to be? See in your dreams. Take some responsibility as vice-captain.”
“What about shitty cook. He also could be it.”
“Look, you reminded me. Sanji-kun!”
The cook who had been averting her gaze until then realised he had nowhere to run when she directly called out for him.
“Yes, Nami-swan?”
"Your answer?"
“Nami-san I am so sorry.”
“I really can't believe you. You're all a bunch of cowards. C'mon Luffy, Chopper, Zoro!”
“Where to sea witch?”
“What do you mean where? If we're going to be a pack, we have to make it official. Robin, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to share our room with these idiots for a while. Of course, if you want to join the pack, it would be different story"
“Sorry, Navigator-san.”
Nami glared at her angrily and then took her three idiots and went to her room. Others just stared after her.
***
Nami and Chopper had been working on building a nest ever since they arrived in the room. Despite being one of the Omegas' favorite things, Luffy didn't join them and was uncomfortably quiet.
Realizing that the captain was restless, Zoro left the room and went to the room where the boys were staying, collected the pillows and duvets that Luffy, himself and Chopper were using, and went back to the room and threw them on Luffy.
"You're going to be the pack leader and not even helping to nest?"
He was surprised at his move at first, but realized that he was trying to comfort him and he chuckled.
"Shishishi is not the usual zoro?"
"I told you right, you should be the head alpha."
“Don't get involved, sea witch.”
“Zoro has a really kind heart.”
"Isn't it, Chopper?"
"Shut up both of you."
Laughing as Zoro struggled between the other two, their captain had finally begun to help build the nest.
***
They were all relieved when they managed to build a nest in the middle of the room, albeit a little messy and small. Just when they're going to lie down together:
“Nami-swan, Luffy we're so close to the ground we're going to go down to the sea soon and I prepared a snack. Come out, let's eat together."
With Sanji's voice, they all remembered that they were actually falling from the sky.
“Oh right, Luffy we haven't landed yet, let's go down to the sea and see our situation on the route, shall we? Let me check the weather too. I really want to formalize our pack and enter the nest but..”
“Of course Nami. You are our navigator. I was also sore. Food, Sanji!!!”
They stared after their captain, who came out of the room shouting. I guess he got over it, didn't he?
“Hora Luffy I told you I've already prepared a snack, wait… Hey who am I talking to? Wait!!”
“But Sanji, I am really hungry.”
“I prepared it cause I know, you idiot. Come on, others, you too. Your tea is ready, my ladies."
While they were drinking their tea and snacking together, they were saying welcome to the blue sea and goodbye to the sun. Maybe not yet, but soon enough they would be close enough.
