Summertime Sweetness

Summary:

“Thank you, Sanji!” Nami happily says, flashing a blinding smile up at the blonde chef before her. “Is there any dessert? I’ve been craving some of your sweets today.”

Set post-Luffy becoming the King of the Pirates in which the crew is still together as one big (slightly dysfunctional) family. Nami and Sanji share a sweet summertime moment together while the rest of the crew looks on.

Notes:

Disclaimer: These characters belong to Eiichiro Oda, and the Funimation English Dub series. Also, I just wanted it to be known that I watch the show in the English dub, so those are the voices I imagine for the characters. No monetary gain is being made from this drabble. Set sometime in a future world sometime soon after Luffy becomes King of the Pirates, whatever age the Straw Hats would be at that point in time. (Also, yes, I know Eiichiro Oda states that none of the Straw Hats will get together romantically in one of his Q&A’s, but my shipper heart can dream, and this is the canon that I am imagining for the world when Luffy becomes King of the Pirates and the rest of the crew achieves their respective dreams as well!)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:


In an extremely rare moment of respite aboard the Thousand Sunny, most of the Straw Hat Pirates are lounging on the deck enjoying the nice weather. Chopper and Robin are in the middle of a board game with Brook spectating as he lazily plays the violin. Usopp and Luffy are, surprisingly and graciously, quietly fishing off the side of the deck in the hopes of catching some massive fish for dinner. Zoro, predictably, is napping underneath the mast after his intensive workout while Jinbei and Franky quietly chat at the helm as they steer the ship towards a small island in the near distance under the watchful gaze of their fiery navigator.


            Speaking of Nami, the famed cat burglar and navigator is reclined on a chair, soaking up the sun in a red and white striped bikini. Sanji soon bursts out of the galley, brandishing a tray with three bright orange drinks that could rival Nami’s hair.

“Nami, my sweet!” Sanji coos, approaching her with a giant smile on his face, his blonde hair blowing in the wind. “I made you and Robin some tangerine iced drinks to combat the heat,” he beams, handing one of the mixed drinks to Robin before setting the tray with the remaining two in front of Nami.

“Thank you, Sanji!” Nami happily says, flashing a blinding smile up at the blonde chef before her. “Is there any dessert? I’ve been craving some of your sweets today,” she admits, a scarlet blush appearing on her cheeks that is unrelated to the heat.

“There is not any right now, but I can quickly whip something up for you, my dear! Don’t fret!” Sanji softly smiles, dropping a gentle kiss to the top of Nami’s head and tenderly placing one of his rather large hands around the soft swell of his wife’s belly.

For once, no one in the crew makes a comment about also wanting dessert as they did before the fight with “Black Arm” Zephyr, knowing that their cook needs to care for and spoil his wife before the arrival of their first child in a few months’ time.


 

Notes:

Author’s Note: As much as Nami acts frustrated with Sanji in the manga and anime, I do believe he would eventually wear her down and make her realize that he does actually, genuinely care for her. Sanji, despite being quite the ladies’ man does hold Nami in extremely high regard and manages to convince her to be his girlfriend and, later on down the line, his wife in my personal headcanon. The song “Nicotine” by Panic! At the Disco comes to mind when I think of Sanji/Nami, so I definitely am thinking of making a fic based on that song for them at some point. Anyway, I definitely love the changing relationship between Nami and Sanji in the show from where they grew from Nami simply taking advantage of Sanji all the time to the point where they both equally rely on one another and can trust one another. (Also, you can’t convince me that in the alternate Boss Luffy world that they aren’t married when they run the restaurant together…) I hope you all enjoyed this little drabble. Kudos, likes, and comments are always appreciated. Until next time, dear readers! Have an amazing day, afternoon, or night!

(If you have any T rated stories you’d like to see on Sanji/Nami, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below. I am open to most ideas, but I do not and will not write explicit stories for any fandom as a personal preference. That is just not my style of writing.)

Edit 5/19/2025: I changed the timeline around for this entire series, so I went back through all of the 17 posted stories I have written as of today and either edited small details (how many months it had been since Sanji and Nami first get together romantically, when they start having interactions together like this, etc.) or switched the order of a few of the stories. Nothing major is changing, so do not worry! I just want to create a more cohesive story since I have written these out of order and I am trying to create a big interconnected storyline between my ZoRobin, SaNami, Law/OC, and Gen stories.
