Might change my URL, not sure what to change it to though. Any suggestions?

"Haah..." Chopper sighed as the cool water poured over his fluffy head. "It's nice!" He smiled at her cheerily, the summer heat not seeming to get to him despite his previous statement. "I like being able to be in the water." He turned his attention towards the Sunny. "I wonder if Robin is going to come sit with us."

The little deer wriggled out from his inflatable water-donut and crawled to go rest his head against Nami's thigh as he soaked up the warm golden rays of sunlight.

Nami has, with the assistance of Franky, set up a large floaty with a disco ball to The Sunny, padding the water with her feet. "Ahhh, this was such a great idea," she sighs, soaking up the water and happy for the opportunity to style one of her cute little bikinis.

"Uwaaah..." Chopper lazily bounced against the floatie in his innertube as the waves gently bobbed him up and down. "It's so warm, Nami." He mumbled, the warmth of the sun soaking into his fur.

Reiju sighed dramatically. "My deadbeat father paid his ransom and sent me to pick up Niji and Yonji." Her eyes flicked over at Pudding. "But that's besides the point. My sweet little brother tells me you've been sending him letters, hm?" Reiju kept a stash of the letters between her and Sanji lodged behind a loose brick in her bedroom wall, and the two of them would write to one another once a month via a private mail service Reiju had contracted.

"And you are technically my sister-in-law now, aren't you?" Reiju leaned down to face Pudding. "It's only natural for a big sister to want to know what kind of secret mail her little brother has been getting from his wife." She made sure to accentuate the word, anticipating it would get the girl even more flustered than the mere fact that Reiju knew about the letters at all.

@piratebento Reiju found herself entering enemy territory as she stepped into the Whole Cake palace. Her father had ordered her to go there to retrieve her brothers from captivity, despite her preferring not to. Big mom was off in Wano, and her second son was left in charge. Intimidating as he may be, he's not particularly aggressive. The large man told her where to go to find her siblings, and she went on her way. As she stepped through the town plaza, she spotted a familiar short girl with a pair of brunette twintails. "Well, well! Who do we have here?"

"Zeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!" Nami @thundertempo squeezing him with love!!!

"Nami, you're squeezing too hard." The stormcloud said, not really minding. To be a right-hand man, one must be resilient.

"As if! I'm not letting you put her in debt!" Usopp objected, half-joking. He knew Nami well enough that he knew why she was changing the subject. He had always pitied her struggle with emotional transparency, but he could completely understand why she struggled with it. He also knew how much she cared, even though she was still a terrifying weather witch. Just to tease her one last time so he could cheer her up as well, he decided to bring something up. "You know Nami, you saying I have people in my corner 'as well' implies that I'm not the only one, meaning you just admitted your guilt." Usopp snickered. "I win!" "Anyways," Usopp continued, ignoring the pout or glare that was probably settling on her face after his remark. "I'm sure Chopper would certainly appreciate the help. Robin might be jealous that she's not her little guy's assistant anymore, though. Speaking of Robin, I heard she was planning to propose. Maybe after she and Franky get married, they'll march over to Drum and argue with Kureha about getting full custody of Chopper." Usopp smirked. "I also heard Zoro's been getting letters from a girl in Wano. From what Brook said, she's Momonosuke's sister. Not to mention his odd relationship with that Navy captain." He couldn't remember the black-haired girl's name, just that she and Zoro argued any time they encountered one another. "Sanji might be stolen away from you by that one Charlotte girl, too." Usopp cackled, before stopping. "Wait, what do you mean I have people in my corner?"

"I want something that feels like summer today," Nami requested, sitting across from her male bestie with her hands out and ready for their weekly mani-pedis-n-gossip time.

"Yeah!!!" Chopper exclaimed, his little eyes sparkling. Such yummy candies... He'd have to make sure they weren't easily accessible to him otherwise he'd break into them and the entire stock would be gone in minutes.

"The wrappers seem like a good idea, but at the same time some medicines can't be stored due to shelf lives and effectiveness and such... And in some cases, medicine won't be of much help." Chopper thought back to one such case. "Like that time your sister showed up to slurp poison out of Luffy's body." Completely unaware of some of the implications of what he had said, the little guy continued to think.

Flicking his cigarette out, Sanji entered the hospital bay with hands stuffed in each pocket. "Hey, Chopper- I have something you might like."

[moving-sheet]

"Easy for you to say. You've got a mermaid, an ex-warlord, a princess who was in a criminal organization for years and one of our crewmembers. I have a delicate girl studying so she can save peoples' lives. Sure, Luffy would probably protect all our homes, but I can't help but worry." Usopp sighed, releasing a bit of tension in his chest. "And I'd hate to leave you guys... again." Usopp, despite being forgiven by Luffy, still felt somewhat guilty about the Water 7 incident. Yeah, he had made up for it, but he still felt bad when even after two years Chopper still hugged him extra tightly so he wouldn't leave again.

"It's dumb, I know." Usopp sniffled. He watched as Nami intricately painted his nails with her slender fingers. "Maybe by then, the Marines will have reformed. That isn't gonna happen until Luffy slams that Sakazuki bastard, though.

"Fine, fine." Usopp chuckled. "My point is, I'm not the only one with complicated relationships." He finished up with her other hand. "Sorry for butting into personal affairs." He said, fondness in his voice. He sighed, looking out over the sea. "I'm scared, Nami. You know that. When Luffy becomes the pirate king, I won't be able to just live peacefully with somebody I don't deserve. The king of snipers is a wanted criminal. I'd have to stay on the Sunny for a while or go into hiding somewhere. I still haven't reached Elbaf, either." He knew full-well that Kaya loved him with her whole heart, and he loved her just as much. "And the marines would probably storm Syrup if they knew that I had any association with it. If I went back I'd just get executed."

Usopp slid the case of nail paints over to her after thoroughly cleaning his brushes. "Pedicure doesn't start until after hands are done. Your choice what to do. Surprise me."

"Oh, please. We aren't even dating, Nami. Not officially. Besides..." He trailed off. "She's out of my league. A liar like me isn't fit for somebody as good as her." He mumbled the last part. Despite his training with Heracles and his posing as Sogeking, Usopp was still extremely self-conscious. He was just a scared kid in somebody else's body. He knew it was his, but he didn't act in a fitting way with how he looked. Usopp, always trying to avoid sharing his insecurity, changed the subject again. "Weekly wine nights, eh? By candlelight, giggling together as your fingers intertwine?" Usopp raised an eyebrow as he continued to paint her nails. "And when have you known Traffy to share field notes? He's SO disorganized. I've also noticed little drawings of you on some of them. And whenever Camie sends any of the rest of us stuff, there isn't a little heart after our name." He finished with her left hand and moved to her right.

"I also recall seeing 'my dearest Nami' on some of Vivi's most recent letters. Vivi doesn't write to any of us in her fancy handwriting, either." Usopp grinned smugly at her red face. He won, he was sure of it. "And there was something from somebody named Kalifa two years ago, whoever that is." Usopp was on the verge of laughing, but he held it in. "I wouldn't expect the cold-hearted weather witch to be such a romantic."

Sweat beaded on Usopp's head at the mention of his long-distance relationship, if you could call it that. His throat dried out faster than Sanji's bloodstream whenever he gazed over at Nami. He gulped before opening his mouth to speak. "It was just... y'know..." He avoided eye contact as best he could, but her stare continued burning into him. She really knew how to make him nervous. "Don't look at me like that..." He meekly begged. Usopp hated it when people stared into him like that, prying at every thought lining his head. He saw the smug curl in her lips only grow as more sweat continued building on his brow. Finally, he could take it no longer. Anything for her to stop harassing him with that mocking gaze. "Fine! She told me how everybody was doing on syrup, how she missed me, talking about Merry mentioning something about how 'a young man shouldn't just hide from a lady' and how 'he was already engaged by my age' and Kaya joked about getting engaged once I came back..." Usopp's ears started to flush red. "A-Anyways," he awkwardly cleared his throat. "The former Usopp generals are doing well in school, and Kaya's studies are going well. That's it." He decided to leave out the little heart that she signed after her name, as Nami would definitely tease him for it later.

He went back to painting Nami's nails, grumbling about how she should stop going through his mail. Then, he got a horrible idea. An awful idea, one so evil that somebody like him shouldn't even think of the prospect of it. "Soooooo... Just a date?" He sneered. "You and Sanji, sharing wine in the kitchen late at night?" He chided her. "The various shreds of paper covered in Traffy's chicken-scratch handwriting?" The sneer continued to grow. "The shells from Camie? The 'diplomatic' letters from Vivi? You've got some questions to answer yourself."

Chopper's eyes bugged out of his head with how excited he was. "Reallly?! I can have both!?" Chopper's fuzzy little cheeks flushed pink. "I'm not happy for you looking after me, you bastard!" The fluttering that he was doing greatly suggested otherwise.

He picked up the blue one first, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth. "Yummy!" He said. It tasted like a combination of blue and blackberries, with a hint of saltiness. He chewed and swallowed before unwrapping and eating the pink one. The sweet and tangy taste of raspberries hit him full-force. "Uwa!!! So sweet!" He exclaimed, a look of bliss spreading across his face. "Sanji! I have an idea! If you ,make more of those, I can put medicine into some so that Luffy will actually take it when he gets sick! We'll have to label them, though."

"Hm..." Usopp browsed his selection. He had picked out some new shades during the most recent island visit, alongside new brushes. His nimble fingers glided across the case, picking out a couple of bottles. "Alright, got your colors. Seems like a 'crested waves in front of a sunset' type of day. Of course, I have to trim first." He gingerly lifted her hand in his left hand and carefully clipped her nails with his right.

Usopp enjoyed the time he could spend with Nami. Even after two years, the two of them could just as easily pick up a conversation and ramble about their lives to one another, often gossiping about their fellow nakama in the process. While it wasn't the full coward trio, he still cherished the time he had when things weren't overly chaotic.

He hummed gently as he finished trimming her fingernails. Even though the two of them conversed all the time, especially with Usopp taking care of haircuts and such, there was always something new to talk about. "So, anything new with these mysterious crushes you mentioned last week?"

Katakuri sat in thought for a long time before saying anything. "I had heard news of something happening in Wano country. While it has not been confirmed, Straw Hat apparently is far stronger than I thought even after my defeat." He sipped his tea before he continued. "Not to mention that two of somebody's strongest weapons are their fearlessness and their conviction. With a will as strong as his, I am fully convinced that Mama will fall by his hand. The battle will be difficult, but Mama lacks what he has. Mama is paranoid and judgmental. He is neither of those things. A rubber man, a Germa anomaly, a swordsman capable of shredding near anything." Katakuri mused over Luffy's crew. Even if he didn't succeed, he had allies.

@piratebento

The heavy thumps of Katakuri's boots could be heard down the hall as he navigated the labyrinth of hallways in the main palace of his homeland. He stopped once he reached the door labeled "#64." While the halls accommodated his massive stature, many of the door frames were much less forgiving. He squatted deeply and extended a finger to knock on the door. "Pudding?" He quietly called out, face as stoic as ever beneath his bushy scarf.

[moving-sheet]

"Uwaa... Just one?" What was a poor little doctor to do, picking only one hand? Chopper thought, long and hard. He could try and use scope to figure out which one to pick, but where's the fun in that?

"Hmm..." His face contorted into an adorable frown as he contemplated. He extended a hoof to tap the cook's left hand.

"Hmmm?" The little deer placed the test tubes in his hooves into their holder, his fluffy little tail puffing up in excitement. "Really!? What is it?! Is it something sweet and tasty?" He hopped down from his stool to approach the chef, a curious sparkle in his eye.
