“Chopper says it’s a small fracture,” she whispered softly. “He assured that if I keep it in the splint and avoid punching any of you for a couple of weeks, it’ll heal right up.”
“Well, good luck with that while stuck on a boat with us idiots.”

Summary
"Nami, if I died tomorrow, I’m sure you’d all have feelings about it. But if you died? You know what would happen?"
"You wouldn't have to hide your good sake anymore?"
A breathy, pained chuckle escaped him. "Dammit, woman," he whispered. He moved his calloused thumb, gently wiping a tear that had escaped down her cheek. "You’re thinking of the battles where Luffy, Sanji, and I fight. But you know what I think about?"
"What?"
"During those same battles, when brute force wasn’t enough... who rode in on a Waver with a plan?"

"Psh, at least let me buy you a drink," the man persisted.
"Only if you’re buying for my friend here as well," she said, jerking a thumb at Zoro.
The man sneered, looking Zoro up and down. "Boyfriend?"
"No," Nami sighed. "Just an enormous pain in my ass."
Zoro snorted into his beer.
"Perhaps you might let me rescue you from his company, then,"
“Tempting, but I have already committed to ruining his evening.”

Nami’s hope for a quiet night is ruined when Zoro catches her on a "walk of shame," sparking a relentless wave of teasing. While Nami is distracted by her need to get the last word in with Zoro, a disgruntled creep at the bar catches her off guard, leading to an eventual violent confrontation.

Summary
“You don’t have to ruin your shirt.”
A ghost of a smirk played on his lips. “I’ve survived legendary swordsmen, Nami. I don’t think some snot is going to kill me.”
“BARELY survived, and don’t go making it weird by being nice to me.” She declared, pointing at him threateningly.
“Afraid to find out you might actually tolerate me?”
She growled before punching him lightly in the arm.

“And you look like a mummified cabbage,” she shot back, “Good to see your injuries didn't fix your terrible personality.”
“Missed you too, navigator,” Zoro chuckled, though he tensed as the action irritated his ribs. He looked at her closely, noticing the dark circles under her eyes. “You haven’t been sleeping.”
It wasn’t a question.
“Someone had to stay up with you.”
—————-
In the quiet aftermath of Thriller Bark, Nami takes the night watch over Zoro as he recovers. As he wakes sharp banter, changing bandages, and the lingering terror of how close they came to losing him reveal moments of unexpected vulnerability. A quiet moment together listening to the echo of Brook's violin forces Nami to confront a terrifying new realization: she doesn't want to navigate a world where Zoro isn't in it.
