Previously:

"There she is. I knew not just ships were following us." Sanji said.

"Never said we doubted you we just are more optimistic than you." Zoro said speeding up, "Come on we can't let the Going Merry get too far away."

"To the Going Merry!" Luffy yelled happily, "My ship awaits."

Zoro laughed, "Yes that she does."

Now:

"Nami there they are." Usopp yelled point at land.

She quickly got the telescope and looked, "Yes. Come on hurry up those three will be right on."

"On it Nami." Usopp replied getting ready to shoot.

"Chopper are you ready to help?"

The little reindeer ran out, "Just finished setting up. Is Luffy close?"

"It won't be long till he slings them and himself on board. Once he is on we are going to fight hard to get out of here." Nami answered taking he wheel.

"Aw man of course this would happen. Luffy get ready to AHHHHHHHHHH!" Sanji yelled as he, Zoro, and Luffy were slung into the air, "A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME!"

"WEEEEEEEEEE!" Luffy laughed happily in the air, "I am baaaaaaack!"

The three landed in a heap and Zoro groaned as he got up, "Oh I hate when you do that."

"I'm back. I'm back on the Going Merry."

Luffy said happily arms waving in the air as Chopper got to him picking him up in his big humanoid deer form. "It's good to have you back Luffy. Now let's get you taken care of."

"Zoro! Sanji! Choppers' got Luffy help Usopp he can't do this alone!" Nami yelled from the wheel, "I can take care of the driving."

Both nodded and got right to work. "Zoro go get more cannon balls." Usopp said putting another one in the cannon, "Nami we need to go faster."

"I know I can see them catching up! Focus on shooting!"

Sanji ran over to the other weapon Usopp had set up, "Usopp how does this work?"

"Do you see the bag next to it?" The cook nodded, "The weapon is already coated just set it on fire and sling it over. It will still explode even when it its water."

"Got it." The cook said launching the first ball. It hit one of the ships taking out the side letting water in fast. "Yes first hit. Now if I could just keep this up." He loaded the next ball in.

Luffy giggled as he was placed down on the bed, "Oh it is so good to be here again."

Chopper laughed lightly, "Yes it is good to see you back too but you really need to stay still. I can't take care of you if you are being wiggly. Please stay still." The rubber captain looked toward the door as an explosion was heard, "Don't worry Luffy that is just the slinger weapon that Usopp created and the explosive cannon balls that he coated."

"It just feels so cool being back. I can't believe I am back. I thought I would never make it back with how watchful Alvida was." Luffy giggled out happily. Chopper cocked an eyebrow, "She is the one who took care of me for the most part. Though Cabaji and Mohji did try to make friends with me."

"Oh did they?" Chopper asked humorously, 'Only Luffy can make having fun during a run away funny.'

"Oh they did. They tried games and chatter. They got the chatting part. They kept asking me questions." Luffy said thoughtfully, "It was a little weird."

"Somethings got you weirded out?" Chopper chuckled out covering his captain with the blanket.

"It was…Yes. They were trying to be friends with me."

"That isn't shocking in the least. You are easy for someone to want to be friends with. It is just the personality you got." Chopper said with a smile, "Now don't move too much. I don't want you to get bad again."

Luffy pouted, "I can try."

"Okay I am going to try and help the rest of the crew. I will be back shortly." Chopper walked out just as he got to the door, "Please don't move Luffy. I don't want you getting worse." Then he was gone the door closing behind him.

Luffy stared at the door a moment before pouting out arms crossed over his chest, "Well…at least it is Chopper telling me that and not Alvida. She treated me like a pet."

Another exploding cannon hit a ship in front of Captain Smoker's own. He sighed, "Damn rubber captain. You will not get away from me." He watched as the ship started to sink due to the rushing water, "But as it is looking now it is best we pull back. Those cannons make damage even with some distance. PULL BACK! WE ARE NOT GOING TO SINK!"

"What do you mean? We have to get them." His lieutenant said shocked.

"Yes but not like this. At this rate our ships will sink before they even get close."

"But if what we heard from the Buggy Pirates is true then he is weak. He will be taken down quickly." Tashigi said.

"We are not going to get sunk trying to take down a sick pirate. If I have to face him again fully healthy then so be it. Stop the ship now!" Captain Smoker ordered sternly.

"Captain Smoker stopped following." Usopp yelled before firing another normal cannon, "He has got to be up to something."

"Or he doesn't want his ship to be sunk. He is probably planning to catch us another time." Nami said keeping a good hold on the wheel, "Sounds like the smart thing to do if you ask me."

"Say where did you get your sling idea anyway?" Sanji asked launching another coated cannon ball.

Usopp laughed, "For our dear Captain. It started brewing when I first saw him fight. Just kind of took off from there."

Zoro rolled his eyes, 'Goodness really. And he still helped treat Luffy like shit.' He placed the next cannon ball in and ran to get more.

Once Chopper was satisfied that none of the others were hurt he ran back in to check on Luffy, "Okay Luffy what did they feed you while you were there?"

"Soupy foods mostly." The captain pouted, "Not a lot of meat. I want meat so badly. Off the bone too."

The reindeer smiled, "I am sure I can get Sanji to cook it up for you once we get away."

Luffy perked up, "Really?! That would be the best thing ever. Meeeaaaat!" Chopper started laughing at how obsessed his captain sounded, "Hey Chopper?"

"Yes Luffy?"

"Did you guys follow the entire time?" Luffy asked curiously with a tilt to his head.

Chopper smiled, "The Going Merry never lost sight of their ship. Not once. We wanted you back Luffy. That was all we cared about."

Luffy smiled, "I told them my crew wouldn't let me down. They doubted me and my claim."

"They should never doubt with it comes to you. You tend to make things happen that shouldn't at times." Chopper said truthfully, "That is why you will make the best Pirate King ever to live. Even better that Gold D. Rodgers."
