"I can't believe that you've lasted this long without a doctor."
"Honestly? Neither can I."
The two men sighed, casting their gazes down on their sleeping brother for a moment before Sabo looked up and grinned mischievously at Ace.
"I can't believe you actually let him be the captain."
"I didn't let him! We played rock-paper-scissors for it!"
"And Luffy won," Sabo laughed, earning a slight glare from the elder before Ace started to laugh.
"You do know that I'm coming with you, right?" Sabo asked as his laughter died down.
Ace grinned.
"We wouldn't have it any other way."
Sabo – Ah, Sabo. One of my biggest headcanons for One Piece is that Sabo is still alive. Whether he's a revolutionary or not, I have no idea, but in this verse he is/was and trained as a doctor under the doctors in the army. I choose him as the doctor because I couldn't find anyone else to be the doctor besides Law, and someone already used him so I wanted to be original. Plus, Sabo's awesome. The setting is Alabasta after Luffy beat Crocodile because I figured that Dragon would know that something was up with Alabasta (he's a smart man) and send someone there to check it out.
