Captain Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates was at a lost, never had he faced such a emery. He glared hard as he stared at into the calm waters of the sea, with the weather so lovely it was hard to believe this was happening.
Luffy stood up and glanced towards the grassy deck of Sunny, he needed to uproot some there and plant the flower he needed. But he did not have the flowers he needed.
Luffy moaned aloud as he flopped back down on the railing and let his legs hung over the side. He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.
"Luffy..." A breathless voice said from the staircase, causing him to jerk his head around grinning to see who was there. Chopper was dragging himself up the stairs, his tongue hung from his mouth as if he was very heat. However they were on a winter island, the reindeer should have been in his element.
The captain jumped off of the railing and rushed over to his doctor and flopped down on the stairs and help him to sit up. A book fell from under his arm.
"Chopper, how is everyone?" Luffy asked once he caught his breath, "Are you all going to be okay?"
"We need that flower I told you about..." Chopper managed to say as he pointed to the book, "Some grows on a island to the west of here. Nami says there no way we can get there in the four days it takes for this to completely embed into our system." The younger stopped talking a sob released from his mouth, "Even if you managed to get there, you can not get back in time for me to make it into medicine..."
Luffy wrapped his arm around Chopper and held him tight, he could hear Brook and Franky coming up the stairs, the only other two beside from him who could not caught this deadly illness.
Luffy slowly let go and blinked when he saw that Chopper had fallen asleep in his arms.
"What should we do captain..." Brook asked as he held out his arms to take Chopper off him, Luffy stood and handed the smallest crew member to his tallest. Luffy stare grimly at Brook, something had similar happened to him with his first.
"Franky you went to town with Zoro?" Luffy asked as he turned to the cyborg, who nodded firmly, "And you said that they here the medicine for travellers and merchants?" Again he nodded, and glanced down.
Luffy let out a sigh, the islanders were not willing to help because they pirate and told them that they would only give them the medicine for ten times the amount they sold it for, and the medicine was already a high price to begin with.
"Franky! Brook!" Luffy said firmly as he turned to the island that held the medicine, "What do you say we act like the pirates of old?" Franky grinned and lifted up his sunglasses, while Brook 'yohoed' darkly beside him.
"Brook put Chopper to bed," Luffy ordered and the skeleton turned right away, "Franky get Mini-Mary ready!" Franky placed his glasses back down and also turned and made his way down the stairs.
Luffy stared at the town on the island, glaring hard. He had never actually raided a town before and was not looking forward to it. But he was willing to do anything for his crew, even becoming something that he himself hated.
