"What's going on?!" Sanji asked when he stepped on the deck of their ship.
"Sanji! Are you sure you are okay to get out of the bed?!" Usopp worried.
"Well, I should probably stay in the infirmary to rest but I couldn't miss this ruckus...What was that explosion?"
"We decided to destroy that ship so that Ariyo, Daigin and their friend Toryo are forced to stay here,"Usopp explained briefly.
"But...isn't that bad for Bakas?" Sanji wondered.
"Well, we thought that...they seem pretty happily with the things how they are...we should not try to exceed our limits after all...they seem to be happy living like this!" Usopp sighed deeply and smiled slightly.
"It's probably for the best, I think..." Sanji said with a calm tone, smiling slightly like Usopp.
They stood there for a while, looking at the burning ship. There were big flames reaching towards the sky.
"SANJI! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Chopper shouted and sent some cold shivers trough their chef's spine.
"I just came to get some fresh air..." Sanji tried to defend himself.
"You are supposed to be resting! You should not even be alive with those wounds!" Chopper noted angrily.
"Sorry, Chopper!" Sanji apologiced,"I will go back soon! Don't worry too much!"
"Well, it's no point arguing with you..." Chopper realised,"...but you have to inform me immediately if you feel pain or something else which is out of ordinary!"
"Don't worry, I know my limits!" Sanji promised because he didn't want to annoy the small doctor.
"Hey, Sanji! You better already?" Luffy shouted with grinning face and then everyone noticed their chef was already awake.
"Sanji-kun!"Nami yelled and waved at Sanji.
"Nami-san!" Sanji shouted happily and grinned with a genuine smile. Even though it hurt a little to shout like that, he felt utterly happy. He knew it had been a close call and he was really happy to be alive and see his lovely ladies again. Well, of course he felt happy to see other crew members too, even the green-haired bastard.
"Hey Ero-cook!" Zoro teased whit a grin on his face,"you alive?"
Sanji didn't feel like getting annoyed. He only smiled at Zoro of all people and Zoro felt cold shivers running through his spine. It was something rather unusual for Sanji to smile like that, expecially to their swordman.
"HEY YOU DAMN PIRATES!" They heard a shout from the beach. They saw Ariyo and Toryo standing there,"WHY DID YOU DESTROY TORYO'S SHIP?!"
Everyone turned to face the duo and as their captain, Luffy stepped forward.
"We don't know what has happened to you and what excatly you were doing here but it has to stop!" Luffy stated,"These people have done nothing to you so you can't just go and take advance of idiots!" Strawhats sighed and thought that Luffy was one to talk: he was the idiot among idiots after all.
"BUT WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DESTROY THE SHIP!?" Ariyo argued from the distance. He thought that a mere hundred meter would be enough for them to run away if needed.
"If you don't have the ship, you can't leave this place and do you business", Robin participated,"These people are happy how things are at the moment and you just have to learn to live with them."
"But if you want to leave the island, you can pay...let's say...100.000.000 berries each! I can guarantee your safety on a pirate ship!" Nami suggested. She was the devil and everyone knew Ariyo and Toryo could not possibly have enough money to pay that prize. Even at the moment like this she wanted to try to make money.
"But..." Ariyo hissed and looked down at the sand on his feet,"...if there is trouble, we can't flee from here!"
"It's your problem", Robin stated,"but I advice you to teach everything possible to these Bakas to guarantee your safety."
...
They left the island for a new adventure on the next morning. They had nothing more to do there and they got plently of food to survive till the next island. Of course Luffy would have liked to explore the island of white sand and jungle even more but they decided it was for the best to leave the island and head towards the next island. They also didn't have another fight with Bakas because they had nothing against those people so t avoid contact with them Strawhats decided to leave the island.
Their crew hadn't suffered any serious damages this time. Apart from Sanji's condition, Franky got a minor poisoning and Usopp got a nasty wound in his head and some minor bruises and cuts. Brook's pelvis bone had a crack in it and other members had only small bruises or cuts not even worth mentioning.
