Chapter Ten: Beginning of the Lapahn Avalanche
Luffy's POV
"Put your weapons down!" I said, dropping the bullet I caught. It clattered on the deck, terrifying the Civilians. No one shoots my Crew or friends without me making sure they are terrified of me after.
"We don't want money, we don't want to invade your Island, we won't hurt you on purpose unless you do something to us first. We want to cure our Navigator and, maybe, some hospitality after traveling all this way. If you harm my Crew though," I glared. I saw their grip on their weapons tighten.
"The closest you'll get to death is being knocked unconscious or being put into a coma" I finished. They were shocked before I sat on my knees on the deck. "Let's try that again," I started, hands, forehead and knees on the deck.
"We won't dock on your Island, but I need to find a Doctor that can cure my Navigator. If we wait any longer, she will die. Please believe me" I pleaded with them as my hat fell off my head. The atmosphere was silent, except for the wind whooshing past.
"I will escort you to the Village" I heard Dalton say before I lifted my head. Standing up, I bent down to grab my hat from the deck. "I'm surprised you did that" Vivi said. I looked over my shoulder at her.
"Anything for my Crew" I smiled. Looking at the door that leads to where Nami is at, my smile morphed into a frown. I made sure Nami was bundled warmly in blankets before taking her outside so we could head to the Village.
Scene Change: Land
"I have to warn you, the only Doctor that we have on the Island is a Witch" Dalton warned as we followed him to the Village.
"Kureha, I know. She's the reason we came here since she's the only Doctor close enough with a chance to cure Nami" I told the man as I adjusted her on my back.
"I'll carry her Luffy" Sanji volunteered. We carefully moved Nami to his back as we walked. We kept up with them despite what we were doing.
"Ahhhhh! A Bear! Pretend to be dead!" Usopp freaked out and decided to do just that. It was just a Polar Bear with a Pickaxe, why does he have to freak out?
"That's a Hiking Bear, they're harmless" Dalton informed. "It's proper hiking manners to bow, don't forget that" he finished. We all bowed to the Hiking Bear at the same time.
"This is our home, Big Horn Village" Dalton introduced after fifteen minutes of trekking. "There are weird animals walking everywhere! That's snow Country for you!" Usopp said in awe. "We made it to a Village with people, Nami!" Sanji informed the girl happily.
"Thank you for the help everyone. Anyone who are not Guards can leave to go back to work" I heard Dalton inform the Villagers behind me. "Will you be alright by yourself, Dalton? They're Pirates"
"They won't harm me, the Captain was adamant about that. It's also a hunch from many years of experience, so trust it"
The group talked it over before leaving, telling him to call them if anything happens. "Are they really not this Island's Guards?" Vivi asked.
"They're ordinary Civilians, I'm the only Guard. Come, my house is this way"
Usopp: "There's another Hiking Bear"
I smiled when I greeted the woman. "Good evening ma'am" I smiled as she walked by. "That was a woman in a coat, Usopp" I told him. "I look forward to the election in two days, Dalton! Everyone says they're going to vote for you!"
"P-Please don't, I am a sinful man" Dalton told the elderly man quite quickly. We started heading to his house finally. I want Nami out of the cold, the quicker the better.
Scene Change: Dalton's House
"Use that bed there, I'll heat this place up a bit" Dalton told Sanji. The man set Nami down on the bed before Vivi started to take care of her.
"I have yet to tell you my name" the man started, taking his jacket off. "I am Dalton, head of security on the Island" he introduced. "Please excuse our heavy-handed welcome" he apologized.
I started looking around the room. It was decorated elaborately but still looks comfortable and homey. "I feel like I know you from somewhere, Vivi was it?" Dalton asked.
"U-Uh, you must be mis-mistaken. Could you tell us about Kureha? The last time I checked, Nami's temperature was 107.6" Vivi asked/informed. "107.6?!" he was shocked.
"It's been increasing for three days now, she's dying, and quickly" I told the man. "Yes, if it gets any higher, she will die" Dalton stated.
Sanji: "Where is this Witch of yours?"
Dalton: "Do you see those Mountains outside?"
I looked out the window with Sanji, only to see Snowzilla. That looks like fun! 'Responsibilities first, fun later' I reminded myself. "Stop messing around Usopp!" Sanji yelled angrily at our Sharpshooter.
"Those Mountains are called 'Drum Rockies'. Kureha lives in the Castle at the top of the tallest Mountain in the middle" Dalton explained once Usopp was inside. Sanji destroyed his Snowzilla, so he came inside to warm up.
Usopp: "Castle?"
"The Castle no longer has a King, so this Island is nameless. It is still called Drum Island on maps however and it will always be that way until it has a new name" I explained.
"Why does it have to be so far away?! Call her down here!"
I smiled slightly at Sanji's worried exclamation. "There's no way to contact her. She's very skilled at being a Doctor, but she's an eccentric person. She's nearly 140 years old now"
She still looks young for her age though, that was something he didn't mention. "I think she needs help!" Usopp exclaimed.
"She also likes Pickled Plums as well" Dalton finished off. "What if people get sick or injured? Does she really only come down once a year?" Vivi asked. She sounded worried. "No, but it might as well be. She comes down when she feels like it and takes one thing from your house as payment" the man explained.
Vivi: "How does a woman get down the Mountain at her age?"
"It's an old rumor… but several people have seen her riding down in a Sleigh on moonlit nights. That is why she is called a Witch" the man explained. That makes sense. "Some saw her with a strange creature they've never seen before"
Usopp: "Please tell me that is not who we're adding onto our Crew!"
I smiled at the man when I heard him freak out. "Of course, we are" Sanji sounded exasperated when he said that. "She may be the only Doctor, but she's a hag that I'd prefer to stay away from" Dalton commented. That's impolite.
"We can't wait for her to come back down the Mountain" I started, walking over to Nami's bedside. I hit Nami's face lightly, trying to wake her up. "Can you hear me Nami?" I asked, ignoring the others.
"You woke up, good. I wanted to ask your permission first" I smiled when I saw her eyes open.
"To get to a Doctor, I'll have to climb a Mountain. Do you want a Doctor even if you might get worse on the way?" I asked. I'd feel better if I got her permission first, it is her life that's more at risk by doing this.
Sanji: "Don't be an idiot! What are you doing with Nami?!"
"I'll carry her on my back" I'm not letting Nami die, I won't let a charge die. "That will only make things worse!" I frowned at what Vivi said. "That's why I asked for permission, we need to hurry though" I said, looking at Nami.
Vivi: "Have you seen how steep that Mountain is?! You can't make that climb!"
"I will if it means Nami won't die" I told her. "Yes, I'm sure you can, but Nami can't" Sanji tried to reason. They continued trying to talk me out of it before I heard a big breath being taken in.
We all turned to look at Nami when she tried to speak. "I need to get better fast… for Vivi and her Country" I watched Nami's hand come out from under the covers, making me smile. "I'm counting on you Captain!"
I smiled at this, glad that she called me Captain and trusts me enough to do all I can to save her. "Of course, Nami! It's my job to take care of my Crew" I smiled, lightly hitting the hand she held up.
Usopp: "I can't believe it! Like Captain, like Navigator!"
Sanji: "Do you have any idea what condition you are in?!"
Vivi: "Are you sure you'll be alright? It will take hours to get there!"
What is with this? I can help Nami this much at least! "I'll need Meat! I'm stronger if I eat Meat" I smiled at Dalton.
Scene Change: Outside
"I'm coming with you too!" I frowned at Sanji since he doesn't need to. "If you fall, even once, Nami could die! You understand?" Usopp asked. My frown deepened at this. I already know this.
"I need to tie this tight!" Vivi said below me. I looked down to see she was concentrating really heard on doing just that.
"Protect" I ordered, seeing Nami glow white. "Where is your Staff?" Vivi asked. I took off my hat to show her.
"I normally keep it in here when I don't want to hold onto it. Its smallest size is that of a pen" I smiled. I sighed when I saw their worried expressions. They were directed at Nami. "If you're still worried, here" I sighed, giving each of them a small, Dogtooth Spar shaped black crystal on a small silver chain.
"Record" I ordered, a black-metal cross, two inches in width, appeared out of a ball of white light in my hands. "This little thing will record our trek, I use it all the time for the archives in my Staff" my birthmark does it actually. I can't tell them that yet though.
"The black crystals will show you what this little thing sees" I smiled, tossing the cross into the air. The black cross disappeared somewhere. I know it is still here though. "Well, we're off! Hold on tight, okay Nami?" I asked the girl on my back.
"Ok…" I frowned at her response. I can tell she won't last much longer. "If you really are set on going, I won't stop you" Dalton started making me look up at him. "Climb up on the other side at least, there are Lapahns on this course" he warned.
"Sanji and I can deal with the giant, carnivorous Rabbits Dalton" I smiled at the man. "Luffy's right, I'll kick 'em!" Sanji agreed with a smirk. That agreement made me smile wider. "You can't be serious! You'll be walking to your deaths!"
"I'll be climbing to my death on the slim chance that Kureha will be up there anyway. Let's go Sanji!" I called, running off. "Wait up! And don't say things that could jinx us, you idiot!" Sanji yelled. "Shishishishi!"
Third Person POV
"Will they be alright?" Dalton asked the remaining two worriedly. He knows the dangers that lurk in the Tundra very well.
"I'm not worried about them…" Usopp said as the duo ran to the Castle. "I'm more worried about how long Nami's strength will hold up. I hope they make it to the Castle safely…" Vivi commented absently.
"He did leave these black crystals with us so we could see how they're doing, we should be able to keep track of their progress with them" Dalton reminded. "That's true" Vivi smiled softly. She knows that was the reason why Luffy gave the crystals to them in the first place.
Dalton walked over to the door of his house and opened the door to head inside. It was cold out. "What's wrong? You'll freeze out here if you don't go inside" Dalton asked when he realized the other two didn't follow him.
"It's fine, I want to stay outside" Vivi answered the man, hands up near her chest. "S-Same…" Usopp shivered. Dalton watched the duo in shock before smiling after a second or two. 'They really aren't that bad, for Pirates anyway' the man thought before closing his door.
"I see now" the Guard said, taking a seat on the snowy ground. The scene shocked the Princess and Sharpshooter. "I will join you then" the man said with a smile. They were even more shocked at this before their gaping mouths turned into smiles.
Dalton looked at the Mountain the duo was headed for as he contemplated telling the Pirate and Princess something. After a while, he made up his mind to tell them. "We did have some Doctors here, long ago…"
"What?" the duo asked in continued shock and surprise. "They're all gone now, for certain reasons" he continued, not looking at the two he was talking to. "All of them were incredibly skilled… we were once known as an advanced medical Nation because of them"
"What happened?" Vivi asked, curious as to what happened to change that. "Only a few months ago, this Country was destroyed at the hands of Pirates"
Vivi: "What?!"
Usopp: "The whole Country?!"
"So that was why you were so nervous about us being here?" the Princess wondered out loud. "Even the word 'Pirate' is still too much for everyone to handle, I am sorry about what happened" he apologized. He was truly very sorry for what he thought of them when he first saw the group.
"There were only five people in that Pirate group and I remember the Captain had called himself 'Blackbeard'. He destroyed our Country before we could even blink"
"Only five?!" Vivi was horrified and disbelieving at the same time. "Blackbeard?" Usopp stored that name into his memory bank to ask Luffy about later. "Some say that Pirate was good for this Country though" the Guard informed sadly.
Vivi: "There is nothing good about a Country being destroyed!"
Usopp: "Yeah! That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard!"
The duo was letting their emotions get ahead of them. Destruction can lead to new life, evolution, and a bunch of other things that are good. There are also many types of creatures with varying personalities, views, and morals to. Not every being is the same, so they may not have the same ideas and views as other creatures. "Thank you," the phrase shocked Vivi.
"People say that because the monarchy that existed then was dreadful in the eyes of the Island's citizens. The Country's former name was the Drum Kingdom, as your Captain mentioned earlier. The King's name was Wapol!" the man informed, barely concealing his anger.
"He was the worst King we could've gotten!" that sparked recognition in the duo's minds.
Vivi: "I remember him!"
Usopp: "Wapol?!"
Luffy's POV
"It's gotten colder, the wind is picking up to" I observed out loud. "Why aren't you wearing shoes then? Seeing that is painful!"
"These sandals are the only shoes I have besides that ones I have to wear in the Goa Kingdom" I answered easily. "Did you know that people can't fall asleep outside in the Tundra?"
"Why's that?" he asked in return, making me smile. "They'll freeze to death if they stay in one place without moving for too long" I answered him.
"Where'd you hear that? Usopp I bet" I ducked to avoid a Lapahn when he asked that. "No, I heard it in a Bar in Windmill Village" I corrected. "Oh, you heard it in the Goa Kingdom?" Sanji asked, ducking to avoid the same Lapahn.
"Yes and no, no one in High Town or Edge Town consider Windmill Village as a part of the Goa Kingdom. If you're not a Noble or of high status and higher, you're considered trash by everyone in Goa" I explained as I jumped over a tree that just fell in front of us. "So where did you hear it?"
"I heard about it in Makino's Bar" I answered easily. "Okay, do you know this?" Sanji asked, making me frown.
"Women in snowy lands have silky smooth skin!" he sounded excited about that. "Why's that?" I was confused.
"It's because when you're cold, you rub your skin for warmth" I ducked another Lapahn. "You get smooth skin as a result" he ducked one to. We continued dodging Lapahns as we talked.
"Men should have smooth skin as well with that logic, Sanji" I told him, watching him jump to avoid another Lapahn. I jumped to the left to avoid another one. "True, but who cares about that?" he ducked another Lapahn. We continued avoiding Lapahns, annoying me with how many there are.
"And they have white skin because the falling snow dyes their skin white" I laughed at this. "That's wrong Sanji, it's because snowy lands don't get much sun. Because they don't get much sun they can't tan as much as other people"
"Pot calling kettle black and… quit being so annoying!" Sanji yelled, kicking a Laphn. It flew far into the distance in front of us. "What is with that guy?" he was so very annoying.
"Hang in there Nami! We're going to get you to a Doctor!" Sanji assured the woman on my back. "The snow is really deep around here" I observed. I really hope I won't step, or fall, into a hole. "Run more smoothly Luffy! You'll make Nami worse!"
I saw a blockade of Lapahns in front of us, so I stopped running. "What are these?"
You don't know and you called them annoying? "They're the Lapahns that Dalton warned us about" I answered my Cook's question.
Third Person POV
"You know Wapol?!" Dalton was shocked by this.
Usopp: "We don't just know him! He attacked our ship!"
Vivi: "He also tried to eat Luffy!"
"He said he wanted an Eternal or Log Pose to get to the Drum Kingdom" Usopp remembered. "I remember him clearly now! I remember him from a Monarch Meeting my father took me to when I was younger" Vivi recounted. "Monarch Meeting?! Who are you?"
Dalton was suspicious, but he only wanted to confirm something. The fact that Vivi keeps barely hiding the fact she's hiding something isn't helping him with his suspicions and curiosity either. "Anyway, we met Wapol on our way here yesterday" Vivi said, changing the subject.
"Are you sure it was yesterday?!" Dalton worried. He was really hoping she was wrong. "What's going on?! He called himself a Pirate Captain, not a King!" Vivi asked. She was more confused than ever now.
Dalton: "Must be a camouflage, he is only wandering the sea to return to the Island"
Vivi: "So, the people on the ship were kicked out because they were no match for Blackbeard when he attacked?"
The Princess has no knowledge of Blackbeard, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that she asked such a stupid question. "If that's the case, no one would be on the Island! Wapol's army didn't even fight!" the animosity in Dalton's voice frightened and shocked Vivi.
"As soon as Wapol learned how strong the Pirates were, he was the first one out to sea. He abandoned this Country the first chance he got!" Dalton wasn't even trying to conceal his anger anymore. "It threw the entire Country into despair"
Vivi was shaking with barely contained rage. "Is that really what the King of an entire Country should be doing?!" she was angry, and no one should blame her for it. "It's horrifying! A King abandoning his people!" she clenched her hands together, close to her heart, in anger. "You're absolutely right, at least his tyranny is over now"
"The people remaining on the Island have come together to create a whole new Country. What we fear most now is Wapol's return… his monarchy's return. We must avoid it at all costs while the people are still feeling unsure! To make this Island a peaceful Nation!" Dalton was determined to make that a reality.
Luffy's POV
The Lapahn with a scar by its left eye jumped high in the air, surprising Sanji.
We jumped opposite ways, me jumping to the left, Sanji to the right. "How can it move like that?!"
'This is going to be fun!' I smiled.
"It's a giant, carnivorous Rabbit Sanji. It adapted so it can survive in its cold, fast-paced environment" I answered cooly. "Why is there so many of them?!" Sanji was freaking out apparently.
"Thought you said you could handle it Sanji?" I teased. "I can!" he yelled at me, making me smile. "Let's prove we can then"
I smiled wider when I looked at the Lapahns. Yep, this is going to be fun.
~Alabasta Saga~
"Nami?" I asked when I heard her mumble.
Sanji: "Nami?!"
Nami: "We need to… hurry to get to Alabasta…"
"Just rest Nami, you need to direct what little strength you have to hanging on. Worry about surviving and that's it" I told the girl. "Even when her own life is at risk… hang in there a little bit longer, Nami"
"We need to get to the Castle where that Doctor lives. Let us through, you annoying Bunnies" Sanji told them. The larger one, likely the leader, made a move with her head. "They're coming!" I sing-songed when the Lapahn took a small step forward.
"Listen to me, Luffy!"
Turning my head to look at him, he told me not to fight. "Oh, come on! That's too boring" I complained. "Nami will feel whether you get attacked or hit, Idiot! She will die" he explained. Nami started falling worrying me.
Hopping a tiny bit, I got her back into position on my shoulders. *Roar* "Fine, I won't fight!" I relented. I ducked and jumped forward to dodge the large Lapahn that jumped at me. "Just dodge and run! But don't retreat!"
"That's what I am doing, Sanji!" I told the man as I jumped backwards to avoid the larger Lapahn's claws. I had to stop jumping backwards because Nami was falling again. I hopped up a little to put her back into the position she was in before. This is bad! If she's falling this much she is quickly losing time.
"Flanchet Shoot!"
I jumped back to avoid another slash from the Lapahn's claws. "I can't kick properly in this snow!" Sanji cursed to my right. *Ding* Seems they noticed their unconscious comrade. They all jumped at us at the same time.
I dodged a slash from behind. "Use the Forest as cover! I got your back!" Sanji yelled at me. I started running before I heard Sanji catch up to me. "We need to head to the Mountain! Go left!"
"We need to shake them off somehow! It'll take too long to fight them off! Because they're so tough, we're at a disadvantage"
I jumped back to make room for Sanji to kick the Lapahn that was about to slash me. "Here's your hat!" oh yeah! It fell off when I jumped back to avoid the Lapahn. Sanji put it on my head for me. "Thank you!" I smiled cheerily.
"We can get up there Sanji!" I yelled at the blonde who was fending off Lapahns behind me. "Teleport" I ordered my Staff, seeing Sanji and I glow Violet purple. The next second, we were high above the Lapahns down below.
We looked behind us before we started running when they jumped up to get to us.
Third Person POV
"The wind sure is getting stronger…" Usopp worried slightly. Vivi brought her folded hands closer to her chest, pleading for Nami to be okay. "Who are you guys anyway?"
The question confused the duo. "It's too reckless for a group of six people to travel the Grand Line without a Doctor" Dalton elaborated.
"Luffy has been treating our wounds since we were picked up in the East Blue. We planned to come here for a Doctor at this time anyway. Even if one of us wasn't sick" Usopp answered the man. "So, who are you looking for to add to your Crew? The only Doctor I know here is the Witch, Kureha"
"I don't really know, I just know it isn't her" Usopp answered lamely, scratching the back of his neck with a dry chuckle. "It seems that you guys are different from the regular Pirates we encounter" Dalton commented. "Dalton! Dalton!"
Usopp bowed to the same woman he and Luffy saw earlier. "Oh, hello" Dalton greeted the woman in surprise. "I heard you are looking for Dr. Kureha? I heard she's in Cocoaweed, our neighboring Town, right now"
"What?!" they all shouted. "They passed each other?!" Usopp freaked.
Scene Change: Forest
"I'm sorry, this is my mistake" Dalton apologized as he steered the Bighorn Sheep through the path in the Forest. "I heard that Dr. Kureha came down the Mountain yesterday, I didn't think she would come down again for a while" the man elaborated.
"Don't worry about that, the issue right now is Luffy and Sanji's abnormal physical strength. We won't be able to catch up to them even if we go after them now. If Dr. Kureha is in this 'Cocoaweed' place, we should just go there and ask her to head back to her Castle straight away" Usopp suggested.
Vivi: "He's right, we don't have any other choice in the matter"
Dalton: "Please forgive this Country for not having enough Doctors"
"T-That's not something you should feel you have to apologize for" Vivi stuttered. "She's right, you know!" Usopp agreed. "We should hurry!" the man said as they passed a sign that said:
COCOAWEED
After a while, Usopp asked a question that has been bothering him for a while. "Who are you anyway? You don't look like an average Villager. How you speak… it sounds like you're from the Military"
"I was… a subordinate to the ex-King, Wapol" was Dalton's simple answer. It shocked the duo as they didn't expect that answer.
"I was this Country's Security Squad Captain since the reign of the previous King. This Country changed for the worse when the previous King died and his son, Wapol, became the new King. He exiled all but twenty superior Doctors who would become his personal Doctors. He named these twenty superior Doctors the 'Twenty MDs'. I didn't like that, so I spoke up. He didn't care about the residents of the Island, said their health has nothing to do with him as everyone gets sick eventually" Dalton was clenching his fists and jaw by the time he was done.
Usopp: "So the ones who became sick had no choice but to ask for the man's mercy, all so they could see the Twenty MDs?"
Dalton: "They also had to pay extremely expensive medical fees to"
"That's the same as ruling with the citizens' lives as hostages. That's a crime, not governing!" Vivi was furious and despairing at the same time. Her eyes were tightly shut as she tried to keep her emotions inside. 'There's no mistake, she is…'
Zoro's POV
"I got carried away and swam for too long! I can't tell where I'm at with all this snow!"
Looking up, I just realized there was a Reindeer with a pink top hat pulling a Magenta purple and Opal white wooden Sleigh. There was an older woman inside of it with sunglasses and a sleek, Violet purple jacket.
"Thank you! I'm saved!" I exclaimed, jogging over to her.
I was surprised that she was showing her belly button in this weather. "Could you take me to the nearest Village?" I asked her. "Just go straight that way for a few minutes, you'll reach it" she told me.
I bowed my head in thanks before I started jogging again when she continued on her way. I have to hurry and get there, or I'll be in real trouble. Guess I can do some muscle training or something to keep me warm on the way there.
Third Person POV: Cocoaweed Village
"They left only a moment ago?! Come on!" Usopp complained as he freaked out.
"She healed me earlier" an ash-brown haired boy with bandaged legs told Vivi from his seat on the Maya blue and Spruce wood couch. This worried Vivi and Dalton, even though they were happy the boy was alright. "Are you looking for the Doctor, Dalton?" the boy's father and shop owner asked.
"Yes, we have an urgent case. Do you know where she might've gone?"
"If you are looking for Dr. Kureha, she's headed to Gyasta" a man answered from his table. "Where is that?" Usopp asked Dalton. "Gyasta is on the other side of Big Horn Village"
Usopp: "How did we pass each other to?!"
Dalton: "Gyasta is a popular Town when you want to go Ice-Skating"
Usopp: "What does that have to do with right now?! Nami's dying, I don't think she can Ice-Skate whatever she has away"
"Usopp, calm down!" Vivi told the Sharpshooter. "Sorry Vivi" the man apologized. "We should head there anyway now that we've gotten this far"
"You're right" Usopp agreed with her. "Dalton! There you are!" a ragged, bloodied, and exhausted man said when he leaned on the entrance way of the shop. "Aren't you supposed to be standing watch today?"
The man groaned before falling forward, collapsing from his injuries. Dalton rushed forward, skidding on his knees to catch the man before he hit the ground. "What's wrong?! What is happening? How did you get such severe injuries?!"
"Every Watchman except for me… was killed. A Submarine Sailboat… appeared out of nowhere… the people on board killed everyone…"
"What are you talking about? Calm down before you start trying to explain" Dalton asked/advised. "We can't beat them by ourselves, Dalton! We need your help!" the injured man pleaded. "So, they're back"
"What's happening?" Usopp wondered, curious and concerned. "Wapol came back!"
"What did he just say?!"
"Wapol?!"
"That can't be right!"
Dalton stood up in anger before rushing out the door, ignoring Usopp's shouts.
Luffy's POV
"Are they still following us?" I asked, a bit concerned. If they are that means getting Nami to the Mountain will be even harder. I know Dr. Kureha and Chopper aren't there yet, but by the time we get there they might be. "No, they aren't"
"Looks like we lost them then!" I cheered happily. "Not yet…" turning to face forward, I sighed in annoyance. "Man, why are they so persistent? We don't taste good!" I complained. I heard the leader with the scar grunt over the howling wind.
They started hopping in place. I felt a sense of foreboding as soon as they started doing that. "Uh oh" I worried. "Don't tell me they're…"
I heard Sanji's Cigarette fizzle out. I guess he was so shocked and frightened that it dropped from his mouth and into the snow.
"We're going to run Luffy" Sanji told me. "Really? Run where exactly?" I asked him. There's nowhere to really run.
"That doesn't matter! Anywhere far is fine!" he yelled at me. "An Avalanche is coming!"
A/N: Hello, I finished writing this a 12:39 A.M. on October 18, 2018.
