~The Weird Fruit~

The Straw Hat Pirates are having a relaxing day together. There are no marines or enemy pirates around, so they decided to have a chill day. Luffy was playing games with Chopper and Usopp, it was some type of tag game. Zoro was taking a nap outside, enjoying the nicely lit sun and the gentle breeze flowing on deck. Nami and Robin were eating cake together while conversing, both sitting outside too. Sanji was happily cooking snacks for the ladies. Brook is singing his usual song and Franky was checking around the Sunny, looking to see if anything needed some fixing up.

As Luffy was getting chased by Usopp, he spotted something in the water and made a complete stop. When Luffy stopped, it caused Usopp to crash into Luffy, making them roll into the rail of the ship. "Are you guys okay?!" Yelled a concerned Chopper. He quickly ran over to them and checked their body for any injuries.

Usopp got up and shouted at Luffy. "Why did you stop Luffy?!" Luffy ignored his yells and leaned over the railing. He still spots the thing in the water, now that he got a closer look, he can see that it's a fruit! Luffy started drooling, feeling hungry all over again. "Usopp, Chopper! There's a fruit down there!" Luffy excitedly pointed at the fruit.

Chopper and Usopp looked at each other in curiousity and decided to glance where Luffy is pointing. They also lean over to see the fruit, making them shocked. "Should we get it? I could fish it out with my amazing skills, I am a master at this!" Usopp brags, making the others in the ship sweatdrop.

Robin decided to come over to where they are. "You found something captain-san?" Luffy nodded in excitement and drags Robin to the railing. She looks to see an unusual fruit, she never seen a fruit like that in her books. Usopp got his fishing gear and threw the line to the fruit. Everyone decided to watch and see if Usopp will fish it.

"Don't worry, I got this!" Usopp yelled confidently.

After a few attempts, he manage to actually fish it out the ocean, making it land in Luffy's hand. "Coool! It's a mystery fruit!" His eyes shine as he stared at the unique fruit. Nami was very cautious about the fruit and spoke her thoughts. "Is this a devil fruit? They usual look weird right?"

Zoro poked it while Sanji was thinking of a way to make a dessert with the fruit. "It is pretty weird looking, not as weird looking like Ero-cook." Zoro said with a smirk. Sanji burst in anger, flames surrounding him. "What did you say Marimo!?" "You heard me Ero-cook!"

They butted heads, which is not unusal for the two on this ship.

"I've never seen this fruit in my books, what about you Chopper?" Robin asked Chopper as she turns to look at him. Chopper was also in confusion, he never seen this fruit either! It's has a unique pattern and shape, anybody should be able to recognize it but both Robin and Chopper can't figure it out.

"This must be a suuuuper fruit!" Franky shouted, making Luffy sparkle more. "Really!?"

Brook laughed at their non-sense. "Yohoho~! Franky is just kidding Luffy!" This made Luffy pout.

Nami sighs at Luffy's gulliblity. "So...what should we do about it? I don't want to eat it...maybe it could sell at a high price if we say it's a devil fruit." Robin shook her head in disagreement. "I think the best solution is to store it away while Chopper and I find some research about this fruit. For now lets get it-"

Suddenly, when both females noticed the now gone fruit from Luffy's hand and into his mouth, they panic.

"Luffy!" They both yelled, making the others panic at well.

"Luffy! Spit it out! You shouldn't eat things you don't know, you might get an upset tummy!" said Chopper.

Zoro and Sanji sighs at their captain's action. "Of course he would've ate it, dammit, I wanted to cook it!" Sanji said with disappointment. "Should've known he would've ate it without thinking." Said Zoro as he smirked at his captain's usual behavior.

"Spit it out bro!" "Pretty sure the fruit is gone now Franky~!"

Luffy tilts his head in confusion. "What wrong with eat it? It's food!"

Chopper sighs at Luffy's answer and started to check his body.

"Don't be reckless Luffy! What if it was poisonous?" Luffy smiles at Chopper and pats his head.

"Then the best doctor of my crew will help me." Chopper blushes at Luffy's compliment. "Don't say that you bastard~!" Despite his wording, Chopper was happy. The others smiled at Luffy's comment. Once Chopper was done checking up, he sends Luffy to bed in the Captain's quarters. Chopper doesn't want anyone to disturb Luffy if he was actually sick. Once he was out of sight, he turns towards the rest of the crew.

"He doesn't seem poisoned or internally injured. His heart rate and temperature are normal as well with no injuries appearing on his skin. But make sure to look after Luffy, just in case he gets sick."

The crew continues on their day, shifting shifts to take care of Luffy as well. Everything seemed normal...till the next day...

Everyone got up at different times but they made it to their usual breakfast table, but something or someone was missing.

"Where's Luffy Ero-cook? Isn't he usually here, he's never this late." Zoro asked Sanji as he's usually the first one up. Sanji shook his head, making the crew worried for Luffy. Zoro got up and grabbed some meat.

"I'll check up on captain." Zoro went to Luffy's room with a plate of meat in his hand. Once he got to Luffy's room, he knocked on the door. "Oi, captain! I got some breakfast for you, it's meat!"

There was no reply, making Zoro worry more for his captain. He touched the door knob and twist it, the door was unlocked. He slowly opened the door in the dark room. All he saw was a small bundle under Luffy's blanket.

"Luffy?" Zoro called up. He puts down the plate of meat and slowly walk towards the bed. He took off the blanket, being greeted by a very surprising sight. "Oh no..."
