I've been reading way too many luffy deals with PTSD fics. so here you go.
luffy hovered over the man's shoulder, concern creasing his forehead. he had never seen his friend like this, not even when law had gotten his arm cut off.
he shook his head to get rid of the thought, that was the past and it didn't lend any help to this moment.
'don't suppose you know a world renowned doctor, or a doctor in general,' corazon joked as he replaced the wet cloth on law's head. joking seemed to calm him down, joking meant there was hope, he reasoned with himself.
luffy lit up at his words, thinking of the reindeer doctor that single handedly healed his crew time and time again. his face fell as he remembered that chopper was most likely still a baby, and drum island was located in the grandline. the one place the boy couldn't reach.
luffy shook his head when corazon turned around.
'ah well, it was worth a shot.'
rustling nearby caught luffy's attention, his haki told him it was his brother. sabo. luffy hadn't seen him since..
luffy buried his face in corazon's coat, trying to get rid of the image. he felt a large hand patting his back, he'd thank the man later for his endless patience. there were few that would put up with a mute child.
sabo wasnt sure to make of the strangers. there wasn't any reason to attack them, they had made their camp beyond the jungle. they weren't encroaching and it looked like one of them was sick.
even if they were in the jungle, sabo wouldnt bet money on being able to take down the man. he was a giant. sabo was sure that the man was as large as a god of the mountain. and even with ace as back up, they hadn't been able to bring one down.
speaking of ace, sabo was sure that one of the boys with the man was the one that he had been complaining about for a week. his friend insisted that he wasn't bothered but sabo had sat through enough of his rants to believe otherwise.
he just hoped that now that the boy was back, ace would tone down his ramblings.
sabo turned away from the clearing and made his way back to the treehouse. hopefully ace had hunted them something for dinner or else he'd be subjected to another lecture. his friend was a menace.
