Part 10 - Who ordered sushi? 2/??

The last time Nojiko saw her little sister, Nami was balancing between an teenager and a young girl. However, Nami, whom she now saw in front of her ... here the phrase "young woman" rather than "an adult girl" was more appropriate, how ... how adult Nami looked. And the point here was not even in the appearance of her already quite rather big sister - although this too - but in the aura of unshakable confidence and calmness radiated by her. As if all the problems in the world just at one moment ceased to exist for her. Or not, not like that. As if she could handle any problem, whatever the problem was. And what is even more important is the joy of Nami. Pure, unclouded, joy. The last time Nojiko saw Nami this happy, Belmere-san was still alive ... over eight years ago.

The next second, falling into a stupor, Nojiko found herself in the bear hugs of her absolutely already rather big sister. How so? Nami's breasts, one size, or even all two, turned out to be larger than her own! And also, as much as Nojiko would like to say it differently, but Nami's hugs actually turned out to be similar to those of a bear. For the first few moments, Nojiko was seriously afraid that Nami would simply break her bones, she squeezed her so hard in her arms. This is how strong Nami has become during her unnaturally long absence. Nojiko was lifted off the floor, as if she were some kind of fluff. And then the girl realized one more fact - Nami towered over her a good half head. And although it was partly a matter of high heels on Nami's white sandals, the changes that happened to her were simply amazing. As if not a year had passed, but ten years. The question is, where did her little sister go, and who is this confident young woman?

- I'm glad to see you, Nojiko! - finally, putting her older sister back on the floor, and pulling back, while not removing her hands from her shoulders, Nami said smiling happily. - I can't believe it's been over a year since I last saw you! You can't even imagine how much I missed you! - at this point, the girl again embraced Nojiko in her bear hug.

- I think I can imagine how much you missed, - when she was allowed to breathe again, Nojiko replied a little muffled, slowly recovering from the shock she had experienced. - However, I must tell you that you have changed. Have changed a lot.

- Really? - The girl said a little surprised, stepping back a step from Nojiko, and looking at herself with interest. - It seems to me that I remained the same ... except that I grew my hair a little, and I get a little bigger chest.

- A little? - echoed Nojiko, involuntarily shifting her gaze to a full-fledged "weapon of mass destruction".

Nami's blue bikini seemed to be about to surrender to the onslaught of what it was struggling to hide beneath it. There was no scent of "little" here. Nojiko, willy-nilly, wondered what exactly her little sister ate, that she could grow such a thing for herself? However, must admit, Nami's breasts looked gorgeous not so much because of their size, but because of their owner herself. When Nojiko talked about how Nami had changed a lot, she was not cunning at all. Height, hair, chest, aura - all these changes were noticeable separately, but the main thing is how it all looked together.

Nami had never complained about her appearance before, however, against the background of her current self, Nami from the past could just as well have been an ugly duckling, which had just now grown into a beautiful swan. And as much as Nojiko wanted to say that about her sister, Nami had become too beautiful. The beauty of the girl seemed almost unnatural ... how can people be so beautiful at all? And how can people change so much, in such a short time? And the still sore ribs kept Nojiko from forgetting about her sister's newfound strength. Even a fish man could not squeeze her like that. Unless his name is Arlong. Speaking of him ... Nami used to wear clothes that covered her shoulders to hide the Arlong pirate flag tattooed on her left shoulder. However, now Nami was sparkling with her bare shoulders and, apparently, she did not care at all.

As a result, Nojiko's barely subsided concern for the fate of Nami began to flare up with renewed vigor, only now for completely different reasons. The changes that had occurred to her younger sister seemed too unnatural to the blue-haired girl. What happened to Nami during her unusually long absence? However, Nojiko had no doubt that such a dramatic change in Nami had happened for the same reason that her little sister had gone missing for more than a year.

- Nami ... where have you been? - Nojiko asked bluntly. - To disappear for such a long time… it doesn't sound like you at all.

Catching undisguised concern in her sister's voice, the happy expression on Nami's face gave way to a slightly sad, but at the same time unusually gentle.

- Don't worry, Nojiko, - the girl approached again, raised her arms and rubbed her sister's shoulders soothingly, - I'm fine. It's just ... it's just that I finally found my place in this world. I won't say that this is a particularly calm or safe place, but now that I have found it, I will not trade it for any other.

- Found your place? - Nojiko asked, a little embarrassed.

- Yes, I found myself a family ... or rather, it was the family that found me, - after a little thought, the girl immediately corrected herself. - And then my new family, for another long two months, diligently explained to me that now that I have become one of them, I cannot get away from them.

Found yourself a family? Became one of them? Can't get away from them? Nojiko could hardly understand what Nami was saying to her, but with every word she said, Nojiko liked what was happening less and less. Nami's explanations sounded like she had stumbled upon the second Arlong, who, like the first, forced her to join his team. The funniest thing? Nojiko, in fact, was not so wrong. Unless after a long acquaintance with Luffy, Nami, in all seriousness and for very good reasons, began to consider Arlong to be nothing more than a little mischievous, slightly ugly, but, nevertheless, absolutely harmless, small, aquarium fish. At least, the girl began to consider him as such in comparison with her new captain. And his first mate too.

- Nami, what ... were you forced to join some pirate team again? - Nojiko herself did not know what was more in her voice, surprise or fear. What is the chance to step twice on the same rake? I mean, such a rake?

Nami too is good. Long-term communication with Luffy again made itself felt, so instead of just taking and explaining everything normally, the girl began to confuse her sister even more. Because, in Nami's eyes, Nojiko reacted so amusingly to her words. True, before answering, the girl had to return to the stove, otherwise she could say goodbye to dinner.

- I would not say that he forced me to join, - returning to cooking, Nami answered thoughtfully. - Rather, he made me an offer, which I could not refuse ... moreover, all this was supposed to be just a temporary cooperation. It was only later that I realized that there could be no temporary cooperation with him in principle, but by that time it was already too late. So now I will be with him for the rest of my life or his. And not only me. There are already six of us. Although the fifth still has no idea who he has contacted, and the sixth still naively believes that he can avoid Luffy's hands ... frankly, such naivety is simply touching. The only way to avoid Luffy's hands is to shoot himself in the forehead in time. But to understand this, you first need to be in the hands of Luffy. However, by this moment your life will already belong to him, therefore you have no right to put a bullet in your forehead, and Luffy will not give such an order in his life. It is impossible to get rid of it so easily and simply.

- Luffy? - only could pronounce Nojiko, watching Nami with wide eyes.

- Monkey D. Luffy, to be precise, - the girl explained. - Captain of the Straw Hats. My captain.

- The Straw Hats? So you're wearing a straw hat on your back because of this?
