Willoffire123: I'm supposed to be studying for an American Government test right now and working on an English Essay instead of typing up this chapter. But, knowing that I have the attention span of a flea, can you really blame me?

Sanji: Yes

Willoffire123: NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK CURLY BROWS!

Sanji: YOU WANNA PIECE OF ME? YOU PSYCHO AUTHOR!

Willoffire123: BRING IT ON, YOU PERV!

Chopper: On with the chapter! Before these two kill each other…

Usopp's POV

"Owww, my head," I groaned, pushing myself into an upright position. I seemed to be sitting at the base of a palm tree. "What happened? How did I get here?" I wondered out loud. Then it all came back, like a punch in the gut.

FLASHBACK

"Robin! Furl the sails! Franky, get out the paddles! Zoro! Sanji! Destroy any wave big enough to endanger the ship! Chopper! Man the rudder! Usopp! Take the wheel!" ordered Nami. Then out of nowhere, a 20-foot high wave smashed into the Sunny, causing our ship to be thrown out of the water with a jerk. I remember shouting, the sound of Nami screaming, then everything went dark.

END OF FLASHBACK

Still Usopp's POV

"I suppose we crashed," I said, standing up. "But where the hell are we? Where's the Sunny? Where are the rest of the guys?"

"It would appear that we have crash landed on Paradise Island," said Robin, coming out from behind the tall, palm tree. "I've climbed this tree already. Sunny, and the rest of our crew are nowhere in sight."

"So it's just us?" I said. "The first thing we have to do is find the others. Let's just hope they all landed together. It'll be a real pain if they each landed on a separate part of the…the…oh god."

"What's wrong, Usopp?" asked Robin.

"LUFFY!" I shouted.

"Sshh!" Robin shushed me. "Keep your voice down. Who knows what lives on this island."

"Sorry," I said in a normal voice. "But I've just remembered about Luffy. He was either thrown overboard like the rest of us, or he's still on the Sunny. We need to find Luffy, and now. He needs medical help."

Robin nodded, then started walking up the path to the right. "I think I saw smoke rising from over in that direction."

"That means it's either a wildfire, or a village!" I said excitedly, jogging to catch up with her.

"Let's pray that Chopper landed with Luffy, shall we?" said Robin, smiling.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO CASUALLY?" I shouted.

MEANWHILE, WITH STRAWHAT GROUP NUMBER TWO

Nami's POV

"Hey Zoro!" I shouted after him. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I don't know!" he shouted over his shoulder. "We have to find Luffy! Starting somewhere is better than sitting here, doing nothing."

"Don't you think you'd have a better chance of finding Luffy and the others, and help for that matter, if I were leading? You know, since I'm the navigator and everything, and you have absolutely no sense of direction what-so-ever?"

"I'm going to go find Sunny," said Franky, heading in the opposite direction towards the seashore.

"Tch, fine," said Zoro. "Lead the way, oh fearless navigator."

"Right away, Captain," I said, smirking as I ran for my life.

"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT!" shouted Zoro, charging after me into the jungle.

MEANWHILE, WITH ACE

Ace's POV

I hauled myself over the ledge of the cliff and stood up.

"The vegetation and climate of this island are identical to those of Paradise Island. I think we made it. Now if I can just find Luffy and his crew… OHMYGOD LUFFY!" I started, tearing down the mountain at full speed. Luffy was ripped away from his life support when we crash-landed here. Luffy needs oxygen NOW.

"Wait a second," I said, stopping in my tracks. "I have no idea where Luffy is. Even if I did, I don't have a life support machine."

I tore off in the opposite direction. "Okay! I'll leave finding Luffy to his crew! While they're doing that, I'll find help!"

I stopped dead in my tracks. "Wait a second, I don't know how to get to the village from here…"

I sprinted back up the mountain. "Nope, still can't see anything. Oh! I know! FLAME HAZE!"

I shot fire out of my fists, hopefully broadcasting my location to the others.

"Now then, how the hell do I get to that village…"

MEANWHILE, WITH STRAWHAT GROUP NUMBER THREE

Sanji's POV

"That was Ace's signal. I'm sure of it," said Chopper, coming out of the makeshift tipi thing we'd made for Luffy.

"He'll be fine. Knowing him, he's probably on his way here right now. Or he'll go find help. More importantly, how's Luffy doing?" I asked, lighting a cigarette.

Chopper pursed his lips. As a doctor, he didn't approve of my smoking habits. "He's doing better. I was able to get him the oxygen he needed through my portable oxy-tank. Now we need to focus on first finding the village, then somehow moving Luffy so that we can get to the village."

"But how far are we from the village?" I asked.

"I don't know," he admitted.

"Okay," I said, sitting down on the stump of a tree. "Our best plan of action is to wait. If Ace arrives, we can figure out how to get to the village from there. But I think Ace's going to be looking for the village. Our job right now is to come up with some sort of signal to the others that shows where we are, and that we have Luffy."

Chopper frowned. "A signal?"

"Like Ace's flame haze," I explained. "Something that broadcasts our location to the others, and tells them that Luffy's with us."

"Try checking through the heap of stuff that crash landed with us from the ship," Chopper suggested.

I did as he said, rummaging through the pile of stuff. It wasn't a large pile; Franky had made sure that the doors that lead inside the Sunny were secure, but it was still a pile.

I grinned, holding up a piece of fabric. "Jackpot."

"What is it?" asked Chopper.

"It's Luffy's attempt at drawing our flag. Usopp ended up doing it for him, but this'll let the other's know that we've got Luffy," I said, climbing up the nearest pine tree and tying the flag onto the top of the trunk.

"And now, we wait," I said.

Chopper nodded. "Yes, and now we wait. We wait, and keep Luffy alive until help arrives."

"Chopper, can you find us some fruit? We're much too far away from the shore to do any fishing, but you should be able to find some berries around here if you look. I'll watch Luffy," I said.

Chopper nodded. "I'll be back as soon as I can," he promised.

After he had left, I positioned myself in front of the makeshift tent, and sat down.

"If I were an islander, where would I set up my village?" I wondered, gazing up into the sky. "That storm threw everything off. Now we have to find the others and the ship, as well as find the village, and get Luffy there safely."

"S-Sanji…" came a very weak voice from behind me.

I whipped around. "Luffy! You're awake. Can you breathe? What hurts? Can you see?" I said, rattling off all the questions Chopper told me to ask him, should he wake up, while kneeling down next to him in the tent.

"I-I'm f-fine," he managed to say, pushing himself up on his broken arm.

"Whoa there, take it easy Luffy," I said, pushing against him.

He broke into a fit of coughing.

"You idiot, you're going to re-open all of your wounds if you don't stay down," I said, rolling my eyes. But he didn't stop coughing. If fact, it was getting worse.

I watched him in horror.

"Hey, you're coughing up blood!" I said, pushing him back down against the ground. "Think Sanji; what do I do? Oh this is bad, this is really bad."

"I'm o-okay," Luffy gasped. "Wh-Where are the-the others?"

"They went to find the ship," I lied. "Luffy, can you breathe?"

"Y-yes," he gasped. I wasn't so sure. I put my hand over his mouth.

"Well, you're breathing, that's for sure. I'm going to give you some oxygen anyway, Luffy, don't panic," I said, trying to calm down as I strapped the oxygen mask over his mouth.

"CHOPPER!" I shouted, praying to every god I could think of that Chopper could hear me.

"S-Sanji," Luffy started, then broke into another fit of coughing.

"Listen to me, Luffy. Don't you dare die on us. You said you were going to be King of the Pirates, right? You're not even close yet. So don't you dare die on us! Your crew needs you," I said, clutching the oxy-tank tighter.

"I-I know that," he choked. "Wh-where-"

"Save your breath," I ordered. "You don't have much of it left. We're on Paradise Island. Ace went to find help. The others will be back soon Luffy, so don't you dare die!" I shouted balling my hand into a fist. I'm no good in life-threatening situations; I'm no doctor.

Then, Luffy did something I wasn't expecting. He smiled. "Thank you."

Oh no, this is bad. His eyes are glazing over.

"CHOPPER WE NEED YOU, NOW!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Then, by a miracle, Chopper came bursting into the clearing. "I'm here! What's his condition?"

"He started coughing up blood earlier, but that stopped. His eyes are glazing over. What do we do?" I wailed, now in full on panic mode.

"At this point, all we can do is keep Luffy's heart beating until help arrives. I don't have any tools on me that I need to operate on him. We'll have to leave finding the help up to the others. Pray that they understood our signal, and Luffy might just make it out of this alive," said Chopper, gravely.

I drove my fist into the ground, inches away from Luffy's leg.

"Sanji! Your hand-" started Chopper.

"I know!" I snapped. "I forgot! I just hate feeling so damn useless! Isn't there anything we can do?"

Chopper looked up at me, a look of desperation in his eyes. "We can hope."

MEANWHILE, WITH NAMI AND ZORO

Nami's POV

"Finally! We made it to the village!" I said excitedly. The village was absolutely beautiful, with large, well-built houses in every color of the rainbow, and teeming with people. "No wonder it's called Paradise Island," I said. "C'mon, we have to find the hospital."

I marched over to a family having lunch in a nearby park, dragging Zoro by the arm. "Excuse me, do you know where we could find the nearest hospital?" I asked politely.

A young girl with curly red hair and dimples pointed to the right. "That way!" she said proudly.

"Thank you Katie," said a woman who must have been her mother. "If you head straight down this street here, then make a right, the hospital is the first low, blue building you see."

I shook her hand. "Thank you so much, you both just saved our friends life!" I called over my shoulder while dashing down the street, my hand still clamped around Zoro's wrist.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Still Nami's POV

"Excuse me? Could you send someone out with us? Our friends are in the forest, and one of them needs help immediately, or he's going to die! Please! Is there someone here who can help us?" I shouted at the people in uniforms. They must be nurses. No one came forward. Then, a young man, around my age stepped forward.

"I'm a doctor. I can bring the rescue squad with me to your friend. Please, lead the way," he said determinedly.

I felt my eyes start to water.

"Thank you," said Zoro.

"Wait, Percy!" called another one of the doctors. "What about our rule? Foreigners have to go through registration before submitting new patients."

"I've always thought that was a stupid rule," said the doctor, Percy. "This person's life is endanger, am I correct?"

Zoro nodded. "Yes."

"Then, as a doctor, it is my duty to save that live!" he said. "The rescue team can follow me. The rest of you, be prepared to treat him, whatever his condition may be when he returns."

With that, we ran outside. Percy and his rescue team, which consisted of four guys, climbed into what must have been an ambulance.

"We use this whenever we need to pick someone up from the forest or the jungle on the other side of the island. Hope in," said Percy.

I nodded. "Right! Let's move out."

"Where are we going, Miss?" asked Percy.

"It's Nami," I said. I pointed to a tall pine tree sticking up out of the forest. Luffy's flag was tied to the tree. "See that flag? Drive towards that tree it's on. And step on it," I ordered.

"Right," said Percy. "Let's move out, men!"

5 MINUTES LATER, AT PINE TREE

Still Nami's POV

We drove into a clearing where the base of the pine tree was. A small, makeshift tent had been set up next to a pile of stuff that must have landed with whoever was here from the ship. Sanji and Chopper stuck their heads out of the tent.

"Nami! Zoro!" said Sanji.

"Quick, we need to get Luffy out of here," said Chopper.

The rescue squad leapt into action, two of them dismantling the tent while the other two got a stretcher out of the ambulance. Percy meanwhile, was bending over Luffy. After a few seconds, he scooped up our captain into his arms and gently placed him onto the stretcher.

"Don't just stand there! We have to get back to the hospital NOW! He's going into anaphylactic shock. Call ahead to the hospital and have them prep for a blood transfusion. Nami, what's this boy's blood type?" asked Percy.

"It's F!" said Chopper. "I am the ship's doctor. If there is anything I can do to help, please say so immediately."

Percy nodded. "Right…um"

"It's Chopper," said Chopper as we drove off in the ambulance.

"Thank you, Doctor Chopper," said Percy, strapping an oxygen mask over Luffy's face. "You there, green-haired guy."

"Zoro," said Zoro.

"Zoro. Think of anything you can, just talk to him, keep his mind going. His heart will respond if he's still fighting in there up in his mind," ordered Percy. "Nami and Curly-Brows-"

"It's Sanji," said Sanji, gritting his teeth.

"All of you, keep talking to him," said Percy.

"Hey Luffy. In celebration of us reaching a new island, Sanji's going to prepare a huge feast. There's going to be as much meat as you want," said Zoro. "I'm sure if you ask, Ace will come to."

*He's good at this, * I thought.

"Luffy, I was thinking about cooking up some fish dishes to go with the feast. I need you and Usopp to go fishing," said Sanji.

*They're both really good at this, * I thought.

"Luffy, where do you want to go next? We have a choice, since the log-post keeps switching directions, between two islands. One of them has an active volcano and a mystery about evil spirits that haunt the village at the base of the volcano. The other island's village is a bubble colony. So, they all live in bubbles," I said.

"Good job everyone, we're here," said Percy. "Chopper and one other can stay with me. I'm sorry, but the other two will have to wait in the waiting room with your friends," he said as he, along with his team, wheeled the gurney out of the ambulance and through the doors of the emergency room.

"You're the first mate, go," said Sanji, pushing Zoro after Chopper.

"Yeah, thanks," said Zoro, dashing after Chopper through the doors.

"Let's find the waiting room, shall we?" said Sanji. It was a mark of how grave the situation was that he wasn't acting like a lovesick idiot.

After getting directions, we found our way to the waiting room.

"Nami! Sanji! I'm glad you're both okay," said Robin, standing up.

"Robin! Usopp! Thank god!" I said, collapsing into a chair, followed by Sanji.

"Where are Chopper and Zoro?" asked Usopp.

Sanji tried to light a cigarette but I smacked it away. "Idiot! This is a hospital! No smoking allowed!"

"Yes, Nami-dear," said Sanji, the lovesick idiot returning.

"Anyway, Chopper's in there right now, operating on Luffy with Percy and the other doctors. Zoro's in there with them to support Luffy," said Sanji.

"So is Ace," said Usopp. "When we got here, he was already waiting in here. Did you see his signal?"

I nodded. "Yeah, Zoro and I saw it a few moments after Franky left to go search for Sunny."

"So we got to Paradise Island, we got Luffy to a doctor, and we're all still alive. Now what do we do?" asked Usopp.

"Now?" Robin said, folding her hands in her lap. "Now, we wait."

Willoffire123: So I somehow thought that I could help my stressed out friend by letting her punch my hand. Now I'm 97% sure I've at least bruised something, and I can't type with my right hand.

Robin: Well that's your fault, isn't it?

Willoffire123: It works for my little brother! I let him vent by using my hand as a punching bag. Plus, it didn't hurt as much after she had punched me.

Nami: It's still your fault.

Willoffire123: So what if it is? What are you going to do about it?

Nami: Break your other hand if you don't finish this chapter now.

Willoffire123: Fine! Fine! So yeah, I can only type with one hand for a while. Expect more chapters very soon. This story is a lot of fun to write. Ace is strictly forbidden to die. Yep! That is all I have to say.

Nami: Thank god it's over.

Willoffire123: Until next time!
