#Nami: ��👊💥 HOW COULD YOU HAVE NOT ASKED FOR A REWARD?!?! / Venus: 😵‍💫

[brainyxbat]

Igaram: If you can safely deliver the princess to the great kingdom of Alabasta far east of here, I promise that you will be rewarded immensely! I humbly beg of you! Please, keep the princess safe!

Zoro: Screw that! You were trying to kill us until just a minute ago! Don't make me cut you some more!

Venus: That's not necessary! (jumps down) We'd be happy to help!

Zoro: I thought you were asleep?

Venus: Nope! I figured it out; it was all an act! They wouldn't be so open and welcoming to pirates, unless they were up to something bad.

Zoro: I see. Pretty smart of you, shortie.

Venus: Thanks! (turns to Igaram) Mr. Squad Captain, we don't need any reward. We'll help the princess, no strings attached.

Igaram: Oh, tha- Ma-ma-ma~ (lowers his head in a bow) thank you, miss.

Venus: Okay! I'mma go get her, and kick some ass!

Zoro: Hold on! (grabs her arm, and pulls her back) You're not going anywhere.

Venus: Zoro!

Luffy: (sits up groggily)

Zoro: Stay here with Big Curls; I'll get the princess.

Venus: I'm not helpless, you know! I'm not Nami!

Luffy: (walking past them, large belly bouncing) Bathroom.

Zoro: I know you're not, but I just took out 100 bounty hunters on my own. There could be lots more out there; it was easy for me, but won't be for you.

Venus: I can take them!

Zoro: I can't risk it! They'll dice you like a damn carp before you could even blink! (takes a deep breath to regain his composure) Just stay here, and keep him company.

Venus: (hesitates, before sighing) Okay. Be careful.

Zoro: Yeah. (sprints off to find Vivi)
