"AAAAAAhh"(Earvin).
"AAAA. Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Earvin Sumairu "Earvin told respectfully while forwarding his hand to Nami.
A few seconds of silents. Nami extended her hand and shook Earvin's hand.
"Hi, I am Nami, sorry for intruding. If you want I will leave."(Nami)
"No, it is no problem at all. " Earvin replyed immediately.
"See I told you. Earvin does not mind." Akio said joyfully while watching both Nami's and Earvin's interactions with each other.
Earvin went to Akio's side and started to pull Akio's ear.
Akio said "Aaah Earvin it hurts, it hurts stop it." while escaping from Earvin's hand. Rubbing her ear with a pouting look.
"Next time tell me before when we have guests," Earvin said with a small smile.
Earvin gave a glass of water to Nami and some apples.
" So Nami where you from?"Akio asked curiously. While Nami eating the apples.
" I came from a different island very far here," said Nami with a little bit of fear in her voice while tightly griping her tattoo-covered shoulder.
Earvin noticed Nami's reaction and imminently changed asked: "So where did two of you meet?"
"I saved her from some bad men who were chasing her, "Akio replied with pride.
"Oh you did good Akio but why were they chasing her, too begin with"Earvin spoke while thinking to self [ 'she probably has stolen something from them, should I turn her in but in anime she only stole from criminals plus I liked her in the anime.']While looking at Nami wait for her to explain.
"This is my first time coming here. They were thieves, they saw me leaving the boat and they followed me if not for Akio I don't know what would have happened to me." Nami told with tear full face.
Earvin wanted to retort at expert level acting but didn't.
"Nami, since you are new here, why don't you stay here for the night those bad men won't able to find you here"(Akio).
While saying that Akio gave puppy dog eye to Earvin.
"Please Earvin."(Akio).
Earvin wanted to say no but could not say no after seeing Akio begging.
"Okay but first tell me did you run away or fight with them, "Earvin said seriously.
"Don't worry they did not see me. I threw an apple to distract them and saved Nami. "(Akio).
"Are you sure they did not see you?" Earvin said with little worry.
"Yes!"Akio replied with a little anger.
Seeing Akio's reaction Earvin back way "Okay-okay I believe you ."
"You better," Akio said while showing her little fist.
While Earvin seeing Akio change the topic "Did you finish reading Navigation for dummies."
"No, not yet, It too hard," Akio said weekly.
"How about this why don't you read with Nami try teaching her you will understand better" While glancing at Nami.
"Nami-san will you listen to Akio teach it will help her learn," Earvin said sincerely.
Nami quickly glanced at both Earvin and Akio thought a second and nod her head.
"Thank you. " Earvin a small bow and told, "Akio teach her while I make dinner."
Akio nodded her head.
Earvin started preparing dinner while thinking to himself 'So what to do? maybe I can save Nami village defeat Arlong be hero......(daydreaming)........
Who am I kidding I am too weak maybe Akio can do it after a few years. Maybe for now pretend I don't know anything. Oh, shit food is burning.'
Unnoticed by Earvin Nami would sneak glances at Earvin from time to time.
"Akio your brother is weird"(NAMI).
"Yeah he is and he is not my brother he is my future husband no wait wife since I will be protecting him so I will be the husband. Akio said seriously with a big smile on her face. If Earvin heard this would cry
Hearing that Nami giggled.
In the end, instead of Akio teaching Nami in was Nami teaching Akio.
"Dinner is ready"(Earvin)
While Earvin the meal Akio set dishes.
"Today we are having apple porridge with some fish curry dig in".(Earvin)The aroma of the dishes made everyone "Gulp".
"This so Yummy, "Akio said while wolfing down the food and asking for seconds.
"Did you like Nami-san"Earvin asked while handing seconds to Akio
"Yes it is delicious, "Nami said happily.
After dinner, all went to sleep
Earvin gave some extra homemade blanks to Nami.
