Devil's Switch

Chapter 8 Snow Country

The pirates on the island panicked as they saw the man walk pass them and deeper into the woods. They watched him go, knowing that they had already sent a scout to tell their boss of the arrival. They were still however wary of the man's presence on the island and all glanced in the direction that he left at least once in hopes that he wasn't coming back.

"Mihawk, what do you want?" Shanks asked as he stared at his old sparring buddy. "I'm in a very bad mood."

"I see that, I'm not going to question why you are carelessly camping out on this island but I figured I might as well tell you that I met a very interesting pirate." The gold eyed man said showing a wanted poster of Luffy who was smiling happily. "She was a rookie wearing a straw hat and she reminded me of that girl who you told me about."

The Red Haired pirates turned to their captain who smiled at the wanted poster and they gathered around to see how their old friend was doing. "So you've come." Shanks said and the crew waited for what their captain would do. "Luffy."

"LET'S HAVVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE!" Shanks said and the crew cheered.

"What about your hangover?" Lucky asked and Shanks laughed.

"Who cares about that! Mihawk join in too!" Shanks said and Mihawk sighed.

"Why did I even come here?" he muttered to himself as Shanks affectively pulled the man into the party.


"SNOW SNOW!" Luffy cheered as she sat on the figure head of the Merry Go and looked at the winter island before her. "So much of it and it is so white."

"Luffy-chan aren't you cold?" Sanji asked looking at his captain who was wearing nothing but her red vest and knee length shorts.

"Wouldn't she be fine because of her ability?" Usopp questioned as Luffy turned towards them.

"IT'S COLD!" Luffy said.

"SLOW!" Usopp yelled and the girl laughed before turning to Vivi who walked up from the girl's room.

"Her fever hasn't gone down yet." The blue haired girl said looking at the pirates who were helping her out.

Two days ago they had been on an island that took a year for the log to set and today they were on their way to an island that hopefully had a doctor. During that time period, Nami had gotten sick and no matter how hard they tried, he fever never went down. They were hoping that this island had a doctor on it so that they could save their friend.

The small caravel sailed through a small river made by the ocean before they stopped at the edge and looked around. A crowd of people had gathered and they all glared at the group of pirates, holding weapons in their hands. All but Nami was on the deck though Usopp had decided to hide with Carue behind the mast as the people began to yell at them and wave their guns around.

"Get out of here pirates!"

"Go away!"

"Please, we need a doctor!" Sanji said but he was ignored.

"Yeah right!"

"Like hell!"

"Our nakama is sick!" Sanji said again but this time he was shot at.

"Let them die!" the man said damaging the ship and pissing Usopp off.

"Damn bast-" Usopp began but Vivi got in the way and tried to prevent the long nosed man from doing anything he would regret.

As Vivi was trying to keep her new friend back, a shot was fired and Luffy turned to see Vivi fall back and a bit of blood rise from her shoulder. The girl stared at the blue haired girl who lay unmoving on the deck before turning to glare at the man who had shot her. Another of the people who were attacking them noticed the girl's look before realizing that the snow that had been constantly falling was beginning to stop.

"You bastard…" Sanji began but Vivi stood up shakily went over to the railing before bowing down to the people.

"Please, call a doctor." Vivi said and Luffy looked at her before she noticed that Vivi was gesturing for her to do the same.

Without a second thought Luffy did so as well and the girl's hat rolled off her head as it hit the deck. "Please, my nakama is sick and needs a doctor." Luffy said and she and Vivi remained silent as the crew watched their captain in shock but understanding.

"Fine." The leader of the group said. "I will lead you to the village."

"Dalton-san are you sure about this?" a villager asked and the man turned to him with a smile.

"I sense not threat from them, please trust my instincts." Dalton said and the man stayed silent Dalton turned to the crew and noticed that the captain was smiling at him.


"My name is Dalton." The large man said as he led the small group through snowy path, the only one who had not come was the green haired man. "I am sorry about my rude welcome; we were ransacked by pirates so we aren't as trustworthy of them anymore."

"We are pirates after all, it's understandable." Sanji said as he carried Nami through the snow.

"Yes but you." Dalton said gesturing towards Luffy who looked at him smiling.

"Luffy." The straw hat wearing girl said. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy."

"Luffy-san then, who did you stop the snow?" Dalton asked and Luffy looked at him confused.

"I did this?" Luffy asked gesturing towards the sky that was clear blue with a few puffy clouds. "I'm the Weather God!"

"Luffy-san, I think you're devil fruit ability must have done this." Vivi said and Dalton turned to the small girl who was boasting about controlling the weather.

"Eh, really?" Luffy asked before looking up at the sky. "I WANT SNOW!"

As the girl said this, the air became colder and the clouds covered the sky as snow began to pour just as hard as before. Luffy cheered at this and Usopp sighed before looking ahead and seeing a figure in the mist. The long nosed man freaked out as soon as he recognized the bear and went to the side to play dead.

"It's just a hiking bear." Dalton said. "They are harmless but make sure that you bow in respect." Usopp felt very stupid.


"Forty two degrees Celsius?" Dalton asked once they were in house and had Nami in a bed.

"Yes, it has risen over the last three days." Vivi said before looking at Dalton. "Please call a doctor."

"I'm afraid to tell you that the only doctor we have in this country is a witch." Dalton said and Usopp flinched.

"Sounds interesting." Luffy said and Usopp turned to her as if she was insane.

"Yes, her name is Doctor Kureha and even though her skills are first class," Dalton began "She is a strange old woman who has already reached One hundred and forty."

"Oi oi is she okay?" Sanji asked.

"We have no way of contacting her." Dalton said and Vivi flinched. "She lives on those Drum Rockies you see out there."

"Then how does she treat patients?" Vivi asked and Dalton turned to her.

"She has been seen riding on the wind in a sled that is pulled by her pet that is presumed to be a monster." Dalton said. "She then takes whatever she likes as pay."

"This woman really is a witch." Usopp said as he and Luffy drank tea.

"Sounds more like a pirate to me." The black haired girl said before standing up and walking over to Nami. "Nami, oi Nami."

Everyone turned and stared at Luffy who was gently slapping Nami in the face though it wasn't liked. Nami warily woke up and at her captain questionably and Luffy smiled as she saw that the girl was awake. "Listen Nami, we have to get you to a doctor but that means we have to go up a mountain." The girl said and Sanji tried to get some sense into the girl's head.

"Luffy-chan, I know you can handle that climb but Nami-san can't." the blonde said and Luffy turned to him.

"I'll carry her." Luffy said simply.

Nami raised her hand out of the blanket the best she could and everyone turned to her. A smile grew on the girl's face and Luffy smiled as well before slapping the hand. "Take care of me captain." Nami said before going back to sleep.


WOOT done and Shanks is always funny, especially when drunk, I have feeling for the whole bar seen in the first chapter with him, Shanks was drunk. Anyway, Luffy is weather God and I believe that she would have control over that. hope you liked.^^
