Canon Fodder

CHAPTER 85 UNDER THE STARS

With so many people on the Going Merry, some interior remodeling had to be done. Back when it was just the 5 of us we each had our own quarters, but once Chopper and Vivi arrived we ran out of separate rooms. Usopp tore down walls, making a large men's quarter. The girls got to keep their own rooms. Robin quickly took over Vivi’s old room. But it wasn’t like the walls had been thick before. There was hardly any privacy on the ship as it was. 

My old room used to be the first room. Now my bed was at the back and all my crap had been split between the others. It took me a day to find all my shirts and clothes. Then I found the Introduction to Spiritual Energy/Haki book. Luffy had made it sound like a simple accident. Every page was singed on the edges. 

I told him I was docking his pay until he had it paid back. He apologized and ran off to take a nap. After that I dug through our expenses. Apparently when I gave them all 200,000 berries, they thought it meant to spend it as quickly as possible. They had made no money whatsoever since I saw them last. We didn’t get any of the bounty for Crocodile since his bounty had been forgiven when he became a Shichibukai.

All that was left was the money set aside for the ship and provisions. Luckily they didn’t touch it. They would have spent it all immediately. I put a new lock on the treasure chest and nursed a headache from my spot on the railing the first day after leaving Alabasta. We headed ever closer to the sky island, but of course it wasn’t really getting closer. The log pose kept pointing up and up. 

Then it hit me. “Jaya!” I said. 

“What?” Nami asked from the helm. 

“Jaya is the next island,” I said. “I’ve been trying to think of it since leaving.” 

“Yes, of course,” Robin said from her deck chair on the other side of Nami. 

“You knew!?” I asked angrily. 

“Yes, Jaya is pretty famous,” she said. “I had to do some recruiting there for Crocodile.” 

“Goddang it, Robin. When you know things, speak up,” I said. 

“I didn’t know you were trying to think of the closest island,” she said angrily. 

“You should have known, you’re the oldest and wisest,” I said. She grumbled looking away as I gave her a smile. I brought up my world shop. 

One Piece World Shop:

Devil Fruits

Log Pose

Miscellaneous

Clicking Log Pose I went down alphabetically until I found Jaya. It was a steep 100,000 berries, but I had completed my 6th One Piece world quest by getting Nico Robin to join the crew. I had plenty of berrie. I paid it and soon had the Eternal Log Pose to Jaya in hand. 

“Alright Nami,” I said, handing it to her. “Set a course for Jaya.”

“Where did you get this?” Nami asked. On it was written Jaya in big bold letters. 

“Ninja secret,” I said. “We need to get to Jaya if we want to get to the sky island.”

“I’m gonna shove your ninja secrets up your ass,” Nami grumbled. 

“Someone needs some extra cuddles,” I whispered.

“You’ve seen the state of the rooms,” she said. “Gonna be a while till something like that happens.” 

“Yeah,” I said, sadly. “Guess we might have to pull a night shift keeping us on course.” Nami smirked. Nodding as a blush crossed her face. 

We set course. Robin said it was only about a day’s travel from Alabasta. I pulled a night shift for keeping the ship on course, and Nami laid out a blanket on the deck by the helm. Making herself comfortable after the others went to bed. 

“Miss me?” I asked as I laid next to her on the blanket. 

“No, Vivi was a very good cuddle buddy,” Nami said. 

“Oh I didn’t think you swung that way,” I said, raising my eyebrows suggestively. 

“I don’t, god, you’re a pervert,” she said. Blushing, she laid on my shoulder. A sigh escaping her lips as she relaxed. We stared up at the stars in silence for a while. 

“Do I need to watch the helm? Or can you still do that weird thing where you sense when we are off course?” I asked. 

“At first I couldn’t,” she admitted. “The Grand Line is very weird. It took me a few days to get the feel of the…I don’t know what.”

“Your navigator spidey-sense?” I asked. 

“What sense?” 

“Spid-nevermind. Navigator sense,” I corrected. 

“That’s as good as any explanation,” she said. I ran my fingers through her hair. “What are we?” She asked, breaking the mood immediately.

“Pirate-” Nami hit me. I deserved it. “What do you think we are?”

“I don’t know,” she admitted. “I’ve never done this.” 

“You know how it works though, right?” I asked. “You date, get married, have kids, get divorced, realize you were happier together so you get married again.” 

“That’s not how things work,” she said. “You really don’t have memories, huh?”

I frowned. It was weird to be in a world without memories of a family. “I really don’t,” I said sadly. 

Nami sat up looking at me. “Why are you crying?” She whispered. 

“I’m no-” I stopped, feeling my eyes. I was crying. “What the hell,” I said, wiping the tears away. “I don’t know why I am.” A little freaked out by it. 

“Is it your past?” She asked. 

“Nami, if I knew, you would,” I admitted. 

“What’s it like?” She asked, setting her chin on my chest as she looked up at me. “Having amnesia?” 

“It’s like…” I thought for a while trying to explain what it felt like everytime I tried to remember. “It’s like I know I did something. And I can’t remember doing it. Like I know I had to have parents. But I try to think back, and it is a complete blank. But then I think about the Grand Line and it’s like, oh yeah, don’t take apples from strangers, they might explode.” 

“That’s random,” she said chuckling. 

“Very,” I lied. We were headed to a place where that wasn’t recommended. “I know that I had to have a past. But everytime I try to think back to it. It’s like there is a shadow that covers up the memories I should have.” 

“And you want to figure them out?” Nami asked. 

“I’d like to,” I said. “But it’s not my main priority.” 

“What is?” 

“Making new memories,” I admitted. She smiled widely, leaning forward she kissed me. A simple peck that I reciprocated. 

“Don’t think you got out of answering my question,” Nami said, pulling back. 

“Which?” 

“What are we, you and I?” She asked. 

“I know we are friends,” I said. “I know that I like spending time with you. I know that we met at a very hard time in your life. I know that I don’t feel comfortable pushing you for anything more than what we currently do.” 

“Why’s that?” She whispered. 

“Because you don’t shit where you eat,” I said. 

She frowned. “What do you mean by that?” 

“I mean, that we are a crew. We all have to work together. I don’t ever plan to leave this crew. And if I did something dumb to piss you off, and you left, I don’t know if I could stay.”

“What could you do to piss me off?” She asked, a little worried. I debated telling her about Hancock, but it was best to ease into something like that. Maybe twist the truth a little. 

“I have other…ninja powers I’ve kept from you Nami,” I said. 

“More? How many powers do you have?” She asked, a mix of intrigue and annoyance in her voice. 

“A lot. And more keep awakening,” I said. “This new set is not so much for fighting though. It’s more for…espionage.” 

“Espionage, how?” She asked. 

“The bedroom,” I said bluntly. “I have some skills that relate to it.” 

“Is this you trying to get in my pants?” She asked shyly. 

“No, I mean I want that, but I’m not trying to,” I said. “I’m trying to explain. I um have skills that can cause intense pleasure. I’ve never used them on you, because I like it simple between us. I like this just you and me relaxing, enjoying one another’s company. Because if I start to use these skills. I don’t know what it could lead to.” 

“Lead to with us?” She asked slowly. 

“No, lead to with me. How it could change my body.” I had to admit I was doing a pretty good job spitballing. I felt a little bad lying, but I wanted both Nami and Hancock. And I didn’t want either to leave. I was a selfish man. 

“I have a skill that makes my…” I pointed down to my dick with my eyes. “Very…intense. Maybe too intense for just one person.” 

“Bullshit,” Nami said laughing. Her voice echoing over the water. “That is the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard. And I’ve frequently jumped from one pirate crew to another. I’ve heard all kinds of lines, but nothing like that.” 

I couldn’t help but join her in laughing. “I’m totally serious,” I said. “Nami, when have I ever lied to you?” 

“No idea, I just know I haven’t caught you in one,” she said, still in a good mood as we talked. I couldn’t help but like her more. 

“Damn, that’s a good line. I’m stealing that,” I said. “Fine, don’t believe me. That’s up to you. You want an answer? What we are is crewmates. But crewmates with benefits.” 

“What kind of benefits?” She asked. 

“The body pillow kind,” I said. 

Nami chuckled, snuggling back up into me. She would giggle every now and then. Eventually she said, “I can’t believe you. That is the lamest thing I have ever heard. You might not be able to just be with one person?” 

“Nami, when have I ever told you something and not been able to back it up,” I said. Accepting the challenge. 

She hesitated with that one. “We are not having sex,” she said bluntly. 

“I didn’t say that,” I said. “We can do other stuff.” 

“What kind?” 

“Touching,” I said. I felt her heartbeat quicken. “Under the clothes. Nothing…invasive.” 

Her large eyes sparkled in the moonlight as she studied me. I could tell she was getting excited, but was almost too scared to proceed. “If you wanted to touch my chest, you could have asked,” she said shyly. 

“Nope, not that. I want your permission to use a skill on your chest,” I said. “To show you a little of my new power.” 

“Are you sure you can hold yourself back?” She asked. Teasing, but still nervous. 

“I think I can manage,” I said. “So, do I have your permission?” Nami frowned but slowly nodded. 

I didn’t release the chakra to my Chikyugi. Instead I cast the Lust Aura. After a few seconds I pulled her to me. Kissing her she began to moan as she moved to the top of me. Straddling my thighs the aura made her more into it. More hungry for my touch. 

I left it at kissing for a bit. Slowly I moved my hands to her rear. Nami was wearing a simple long skirt. It was draped over my lower half. Feeling her tight ass she moaned as the Pleasure Touch leaked through her clothes a little. She began unconsciously rocking back and forth on my hard dick. Her body knew what to do, even if she didn’t. 

As she moved more, so did my hands. Moving up her bare back she gasped as my flowed over her skin. She was a joy just to touch, Nami was fit into my hands perfectly as she writhed on top of me. Going further than we ever had before I moved my hands to her front. Slowly as she moved faster on me. Fingers moving up her taut abs I made it to the bottom of her breasts. I was surprised to find that she wasn’t wearing a bra. They were so perky I had assumed she was. 

Nami shivered as I touched the base of them. But she didn’t stop me. More heated as we kissed harder, her tongue moved into my mouth further as my grasp slid up the hills on her chest. My palms covered with chakra now all I did was flick her nipples with my thumbs once and she came. 

Letting out a high pitched cracking of her voice I could feel her panties wetten as she began to jerk forward. My thumbs doing circles around her nipples caused more jolts to run through her body, but slowly she was relaxing. Letting out a sigh she leaned forward, relaxing completely on my chest. 

“What the hell was that?” She mumbled from my chest. 

“An orgasm,” I offered. 

“That is not how that works,” she said. I could have sworn I had a conversation just like this before. 

“Ninja skills,” I said, pulling my hands out of her shirt. She shivered once more. 

“Are you kidding me?” She asked, pulling my face over to look at her.

“No?” I asked. “I’m serious. These are part of my chakra.”

“Your chakra causes that?” She asked. “How?” 

“How I understand it. There are elements to chakra, depending on the person. You’ve seen me make water,” I said. Forming water chakra in my hand to show her. “This is the Water Element. My other element happens to be called the Lust Element.” 

“What else can it do?” She asked. 

“Right now? I can make people around me hornier. Increase pleasure. And hold off my own…completion,” I said. “But this is just the start. A part of me says it can evolve.” 

“How long have you been keeping it secret?” She asked. 

“Since we met,” I said truthfully. She frowned. “What?” 

“How many more secrets do you have?” She asked, angry and sad as she studied me.

“I don’t know, Nami,” I admitted. “I could wake up a month from now and have a new skill. This new hot and cold one just started. I keep forgetting I have it to be honest.”

“Some people have all the luck,” she mumbled. 

“Would you give up your memories for skills?” I asked bluntly. She frowned but shook her head. “I didn’t think so. I can’t help it. I’m rolling with the punches. And trying not to freak you out or step on your toes here.” 

“I have been holding back,” I said. “Right now? Do you want me to keep exploring you?” 

She blushed, but shook her head. “Okay, now wait a few seconds.” I began to cast the lust aura around us. I counted to 10. “Do you want me to now?” She began rubbing herself on my dick again.

“What is this?” 

“My Lust Aura. I could have been casting this on you at any time. But I don’t want to trick you Nami. I want you to want to be with me.” I dropped the aura. 

“This is a lot to think about,” she admitted. 

“I agree. And if you want to go back to your quarters, I understand,” I said. She frowned. Sliding off of me she didn’t get up but leaned back on my shoulder. Her eyes on mine as we stared at one another she reached out. Grabbing my hand over my chest she kept her hand there. Slowly she draped her leg onto my thigh. I couldn’t help but feel a little better about her reaction. 

Leaning down I pulled the blanket up to us. Covering us both she hummed happy and content. I moved my hand to rub her temple and she was soon asleep. I wasn’t too far behind her.
