Waking up to the creaking of the hull and the soft clinking of metal on metal, Nami slowly opened her eyes, though they somehow couldn’t find the energy to open all the way. Her mind half registering the clinking on the background, she couldn’t suppress a huge yawn. She rolled on her back, her body pulling the big, full globes attached to her upper body with it as she moved, and looked at the ceiling of her cabin while her eyes bit by bit found their focus. Then she smiled widely, because she knew what would be coming next! Every morning, well, at least every regular morning consisted of a few constant rituals and Nami loved her morning rituals. She slid her long legs out over the edge of her bed and jumped out, then watched herself in the mirror, nodded as she appreciated her body, standing there in her panties only. Picking up a shirt from the chair in her cabin, she put it on, opened the door and walked out to the walkway overseeing the grass mat at the middle of the Sunny Go. She looked up to the crow’s nest and saw a rod with huge dumbbells stuck to it appear and disappear from the open hatch, a clinking noise resounding every time the dumbbells appeared.

“Nami-swwwaaaaaaaaaaan! Good morning! Did you sleep well? Wasn’t it not too cold this night? If you need someone to keep you warm during these frigid…” Nami rolled her eyes and smiled as walked away from the voice, towards the bathroom, while interrupting the it “I’m good, Sanji-kun. Thank you for your concern.” Sanji's now heart-shaped eyes twinkled as he replied “Of course, Nami! Your tea will be waiting for you when you are done showering! Enjoy and take your time.” and with a jump, a pirouette and a bow, he went inside the kitchen.

As she heard him whistle and heard the sound of various kitchen utensils, she smiled widely and blushed. Even though she would keep her stoic attitude around Sanji and never let it show around her blonde crewmate, his gentleness, care and friendship filled her with lots of joy and warmth. She wondered if he would see her differently from his other hunts if she would let him in more. As her blushing began to felt warmer, she quickly shook her head and pulled up her shoulders. “Neeeeeehhhh, Sanji will always be Sanji. He is solely interested in one girl…..until he meets the next.”. With that thought she stepped inside the bathroom, closed the door and locked it.
