"Lay them down on the beds." Chopper instructed. Robin and Sanji did what them was told. The room they were in was small and could barley fit all the people. There were two beds, a desk, a small table, few drawers and some medical equipment. Man, were they glad they placed that second bed a few weeks ago after an incident that caused two of their friends to get injured and needed to stay in the infirmary.
Chopper looked in his drawers to find all the equipment they would need. He found two scissors and gave them to the other two. "Here, I need you to cut the clothes off their chests so they don't get in our way." He said. He himself started to fill a bucket with water. Sanji and Robin cut the already torn shirts of the two men and removed them. The wounds looked really bad and all the dirt on them didn't make it any better.
The doctor moved towards the unconscious men with the bucket of water and some rags. He set the bucket down in between the beds. He gave the others both a rag and took one of himself. "We need to clean off some of the dirt in and near the wounds." Chopper said as he started to clean the wound of the smaller male. His friends began to help him clean the men.
Chopper suddenly stopped and turned to face the others. "I haven't asked if you two are ok with doing this. If you don't want to help you can leave now. There's probably going to be a lot of blood and I understand-" Sanji cut him off. "Chopper, if we didn't want to do this, we would have said so. Besides, you can't do all of this on your own. You need our help." He said and Robin nodded in agreement. Chopper gave a small smile. "Alright, let's get to work then." He said as he turned back to the task at hand and continued to clean.
After they cleaned the wounds, Chopper grabbed some medical creme for on the wounds and rubber gloves so the wounds wouldn't get infected. The creme should help stop the bleeding too. He started to apply the creme on the cut on the larger male's eye. He had given the other two some gloves too and they started to apply the substance on the cut on the man's chest. While doing this Robin took the opportunity to check the men for other injuries. Her eye fell on the ripped pants of the male. She moved away from the cut on his chest and took a look at his legs. She could see blood coming from his legs and grabbed one of the scissors they'd used a few minuted ago to cut off a bit of the pant leg.
"Chopper, he has two more cuts on his legs. It looks like someone wanted to cut off his feet." She said. The doctor finished applying the creme on the cut on his eye and walked over to Robin to see the injuries. "You're right. Those are some nasty cuts. Could you clean them and put the creme on them?" He asked and the black-haired woman nodded. The doctor went back to the man's head.
After examining the cut on the man's eye better the teen grimaced. "I don't know if I can save his eye. Whomever attacked his cut right through his eyelid and made a cut on his cornea. The chance he may never see with this eye is big." He said. "You did what you could Chopper. If you can't save it, no one can." Sanji said.
They had now finished applying the creme on the first man's wounds. Chopper grabbed another creme and gave it to Robin. "You and Sanji go and apply this creme on the other man's wound. He needs an other creme since his wound looks a lot like it was burned into his skin. I will stitch the wounds here." He said to his friends.
The doctor grabbed the things he needed and started to stitch the wounds. He did the big cut first. After that he went to the legs and stitched them up too. He used smaller stitched for the eye since it wasn't a really big cut.
He had just finished the last stitch as Sanji spoke to him. "Chopper, this one seems to have trouble breathing properly. What should we do?" He said. The doctor looked at the man and saw that Sanji was right. The man was breathing slow and a bit ragged. "We should probably hook him to a breathing machine." Chopper said and went to get it. He installed the breathing machine and hooked the man up. "I hope this helps." He said.
Sanji and Robin had finished putting the creme on the wound. "You two are going to bandage the larger man's wounds. The bandages are on the desk." The doctor said to his friends. They nodded and did what them was told. Chopper looked at the smaller male's wound. The big X-shaped wound looked really bad. The skin was burned away, almost showing the mussels underneath.
'There isn't much I can do besides applying bandages. There is too little skin to try and cover up the wound. Good thing the bleeding stopped 'cause I don't think there's much blood left in him.' Chopper thought as he looked at the pale man in front of him. He grabbed some bandages and started to apply them.
After the three of them were done with the bandages, they attached both men to blood sacks to get some of the blood they lost back into them. The doctor always had some blood sacks of each blood type in his office in a refrigerator. They then covered them in sheets and Chopper hooked the men to heart monitors.
"Alright, I think we're done now. There isn't much we can do except wait." Chopper said as he removed his gloves. The others did that too and then turned to leave, but saw that the teen wasn't coming with them.
"Chopper, you're not coming?" Robin asked. The doctor shook his head. "No, I have to clean things up here and I have to keep watch in case something happens." He said. "Okay, I'll bring you something to drink. You've earned that, doctor." Sanji said. Chopper started to do some kind of dance and said something along the lines of "Calling me a doctor doesn't make me happy you jerk!". Sanji and Robin then left the infirmary and returned to the others.
"So, if I'm right, Chopper smelled blood and you all went to look where it came from. Then you found two injured men in the middle of the woods and took them with you." Nami said. Usopp nodded. "Are you sure that's what happened? You're not lying again?" She asked. Usopp groaned. "No! Why won't you believe me!" He all but yelled.
"Hey long nose, don't yell at Nami!" Sanji yelled at him as he and Robin entered the room. Everyone turned to look at them. "Hey Sanji, Robin, where is Chopper?" Usopp asked. Robin took a seat on one of the couches and Sanji walked to the kitchen counter to make the doctor some hot chocolate. "He is still with the men keeping an eye on them." Sanji answered. "Are they going to be ok?" Asked the long nosed teen. Sanji shrugged. "I hope so. Chopper didn't say if they're out of danger or not, but I think they're going to survive. You should ask Chopper if you want to know for sure."
"Robin, can you tell me what happened?" Nami asked. "I think Usopp already did that Nami." The dark-haired woman said. Usopp gave Nami the 'I told you' look, but she only shrugged.
"So," Franky spoke up. "What are we gonna do when they wake up. Let them stay here for a while so they can heal?" He asked. Everyone looked at each other. "That's a good question. I guess we could let them stay here for a while if they want. It's not like we don't have enough room or something." Nami said. The others agreed.
"Well, I'm going to give Chopper his drink. I'll be right back. I'll start preparing dinner when I return." Sanji said and then left the room. "Wait, I'm coming with you." Usopp said and followed the other man out of the room.
The others watched them leave. Nami turned to face Robin and smiled. "So, what did you buy?"
Chopper was putting the last of his used equipment away when Sanji and Usopp walked into the room. "Here, I have some hot chocolate for you." Sanji said and gave the cup to the teen. Chopper thanked him and took a sip from his drink.
"So, Chopper. Do you think they're going to survive?" Usopp asked his friend. The doctor nodded. "Yeah, I think so. They're going to be fine if nothing changes. I'm still going to stay here to be sure though." He said as he looked at the two sleeping men on the beds. Usopp thought and had an idea. "Hey I still have those unused security cameras. I can install one in this room so you can watch them while you're not here. Then you can be with us and don't have to be alone here. Besides, I'm still not sure if we can trust those guys. They can be bad guys, or one of them is. Hey, what if they were fighting against each other. Shouldn't we separate them?" Usopp said.
"No, they're not each other's enemies. The larger man had swords with him and the wound on the other man is definitely not caused by a sword. The back of the shirt of the larger man was also covered in blood even though he didn't have any wounds there. I think he was carrying the other man on his back to get away from someone." Chopper said. His eyes were focused on the smaller male.
"I'm going back to the others. See you there." Sanji said. He walked to the door and left the room. Chopper didn't answer. He was still looking at the smaller and probably younger male on one of the beds. He looked a bit troubled.
"Something wrong Chopper?" Usopp asked. Chopper took his eyes of the man and looked at his friend. "What?" He asked, not having heard his friend the first time. "What's wrong Chopper? It's nothing for you to zone out like that." The curly haired teen asked his friend. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just.." Chopper looked back at the small man on the bed.
"C'mon, you can tell me." Usopp told him. Chopper sighed and looked back at him. "The smaller one. I.. I sense something weird about him. Something.. dangerous.. But it's not dangerous at the same time. It's.. really strange." He said. Usopp looked at the man on the bed. "Maybe you're right, Usopp. Maybe they are bad guys." Chopper said.
Usopp sighed. "Well, if they turned out to be bad guys we'll just kick them out. They don't have weapons now. I hid the swords in my workshop. They can't really harm us now, right?" He said to the younger teen.
"Well, I'm going to get those cameras and install them and then you can come sit with us. How does that sound?" Usopp told the other teen. Chopper nodded. "I'll be right back." Usopp said and left the room. Chopper watched him leave and then looked back at the men on the beds. More specifically, the smaller one of the two. He frowned. 'But still..
..what are you?'
AN: I don't know much about medical stuff, so it can be that something in this chapter doesn't make sense of isn't correct.
