Note: I have to apologize. When I started this story, I didn't think it would be this dark.
BUT IT'S PRETTY DARK.
There's a lot of the theme of suicide in this story. Actually that's probably the whole premise. I'm not quite sure what to say without spoiling it, except that I hope you will give it a shot and read through the whole thing.
Also please review and let me know if I've been too insensitive with the subject of suicide. Thanks!
The first sign of trouble was when Sanji was about to call everyone to lunch. He suddenly realized that a certain rubber idiot had failed to try pinching food for the whole morning.
The second sign was a faint, coppery smell. It tickled Chopper's nose, but he wasn't sure what he was smelling as he helped Usopp mix chemicals for his new projectiles. Then the smell became stronger, and Chopper stood up quickly: human blood. By that time, the demon's sixth sense in Zoro had also picked up the smell, yet he couldn't sense any bloodthirst on the Thousand Sunny, only a certain presence... He opened his eyes slightly, and waited.
The third and final sign. The door to the deck suddenly burst open. A tired, panting Luffy suddenly collapsed onto the grassy lawn, covered in blood. Chopper screamed and ran toward Luffy. Usopp screamed and started running around the ship, shouting about intruders.
Chopper started panicking, looking around frantically, "Doctor, doctor…WE NEED A DOCTOR HERE!"
"Isn't that you?!" Nami, who just came from the upper deck, karate chopped his head.
"Ah- you're right!" Chopper turned into human form and flipped Luffy over, then switched into Brain Point and searched for signs of trauma. He looked over the boy's right arm…and froze. Several fresh cuts adorned the inside of his arm and wrist, like…he couldn't be. Like he had been slicing across his flesh with a sharp knife.
By this time, the crew had been attracted to the deck, and they were staring at that wrist. There was one word circulating through their heads, which was quickly stamped down by objections of He would never! And This idiot? And reluctantly, Why?
