[Well, at least this experiment gives Nami plenty of ways to vent and keep busy. In between running escort duty and interference in the Ganglands area for both Nojiko and Good Spirits, there's the small issue of her mikan grove now being part of the searing desert... so she's up there every night providing cool, sweet rainy relief for the mikan trees, the grasses, and the crocodiles.

Get out! OUT! OUT!
[Why yes, she is chasing a bunch of crocodiles out of her grove back to the river with a crackling quarterstaff, why do you ask. Anyone for fried crocodile meat? >_>
Catch her either in the plaza in her ganglands finery beating up on the local thugs or drinking or maybe just. You know, having a cupcake in a quiet period. Or up at the orchard in the evenings, dressed like an Alabastan dancing girl and basking in the extremely localised rain. Such is life.]
---------
[On the third evening, she makes a post as something occurs to her, walking through the orchard and swinging her staff casually on crocodile patrol.]
[Voice]
Is there anyone else who's got a garden stuck in a desert area? If you need it I could provide you with some extraaaaIEEEAAA--
[Thud. Crunch. Slide. Mud everywhere. Small, pathetic sound of pain. You try falling right through a sinkhole into a tomb and see how you feel.
...
...a tom--] KYAA! Someone get me out of here! There are tombs everywhere and scorpions and something glo--
[...
..../crickets. Singsong voice.]
Never mind!
-- [Journal slam.]
[...SO BASICALLY Nami is lost in a tomb but she doesn't care because there's GOLD in them there crypts, but you know. She probably needs a rescue anyway. Or company. Or someone else who fell in. Or someone who just got...hopelessly lost... heck, while we're down here may as well see if there's any of those scavenger hunt items, right? Amidst the monsters and the booby traps. Aheh. 8D Come on down.]

Buggy almost did too, but Pops is a genius. He figured out how to get him to use the escaped prisoners against the marines instead.
[Laughs softly and rubs the back of his neck.] He was always good with people like that.
[Action]
...though oddly she has semi-fond memories of Buggy. Weirdly. Possibly because that's when she met Luffy. 8|]
To answer your other question, I've been down to the ganglands area. Nojiko and the bar are there. [It's almost as much stress relief as the crocodiles are.]
[Action]
Keep an eye on Norma if you see her at the bar again. She keeps insisting she can handle herself fine and then has to use magic to get rid of some of those goons.
Wait. Have you ever even met Norma?
[That probably should have come first. His line of thinking just went "sisters in the gangland area" and continued from there.]

She's tough as talons, but still... it's a big brother's job to worry, eh?
[Action]
[Action]
[That is certainly true... and says absolutely nothing.]
[Action]
[Action]
Counting my crew, all the allies, several islands, probably upwards in the millions.
Pops always said any son or daughter of the sea could be a son of his. They just had to want to be.
[Except you know. Teach. But let's not go there.]
[Action]
[Action]
Or nurses. Pops collected nurses.

[Action]
Never a dull moment on the Moby Dick, eh.
[Action]
[Action]
He was the best.
[Action]
You know, he might turn up here one day.
[Action]
And just having Ace here is miracle enough.
[Action]
[There sure is a lot of us here.]
[Action]
Pops too, but I can hold out hope for my brothers easier. Probably because there's so many of them. [Chuckles.] Plus, then I won't have to feel guilty for getting to corrupt Ace all by myself, eh?
Although having Sabo around has really helped too. He calms Ace down better than I think either of them seem to realize.
[Action]
[Action]
Still, every bit helps, aye?
