(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Brulee was about to start on a rather loud and long rant when she suddenly crashed to the floor."
"What?" The Charlottes were alarmed at that as they all looked at their sister.
"Nee-san!" Galette was out of her chair and literally hopping over the table in record time as she slid down to check on Brulee.
"Oi Sis? What's wrong? Oven go get a doctor!" Perospero knelt by Brulee's side as well, yelling at the fourth son who dashed off and melted his way through several walls."
"Sorry Mama." Oven apologized even though he was still tense and Big Mom waved it off.
"As long as you get the doctor I don't care about the walls. They can be replaced, your sister can not." Big Mom said and Brulee blushed slightly at her mothers words.
"Did those people from East Blue do something to her?" Amande asked as Perospero and Galette checked on their sister using their limited medical knowledge."
"They'd better not have." Amande hissed slightly.
"If the doctor confirms it…then prepare for a hostile takeover." Big Mom ordered her children who all nodded slightly. How dare some weaklings from East Blue hurt their sister?!"
"You're all ridiculous." Brulee said staring at her siblings.
"Let me see the patient!" The head doctor said as Oven finished dragging him into the room and shoving him in Brulee's direction. The others cleared a path for him, but Galette and Perospero stayed right where they were as Galette checked her sisters pulse and Perospero had Brulee's head in his lap."
"Seeing them have to check your pulse…that was probably one of the scariest parts." Amande said reaching forward and gently patting Brulee's head as if to reassure herself that the other woman was alive, Broye was clinging tightly to her twin.
"She's alive but her pulse is unusually slow." Galette said glancing up at the doctor who began examining the mirror woman using his Heal-Heal fruit."
"Eh? Heal-Heal? But that belongs to Princess Mansherry." Luffy said frowning at that as he stared at the Big Mom pirates.
"It's probably a subsection of the Heal heal fruit. Like how there's different versions of guns or sword fruits? Perhaps his is more of an examination type fruit but since it does help him heal in some degree they believed it to be the Heal-heal fruit." Robin explained making Luffy go 'ohhh' as if he understood.
"Did she use her Devil Fruit recently and if so then to where?" The doctor asked glancing up at the siblings.
"She went to get information from East Blue, a Foosha Village I believe." Perospero said making the doctor look up at them wide eyed.
"She's never been to East Blue has she? Nor does she have any mirrors that she's familiar with there does she?" The Doctor asked as his hands began to glow green while he held them over Brulee's chest."
"Hm…if he feels tired after using the fruit then perhaps it's less of him healing her and more of him transferring some of his health to her." Robin said as she dissected the fruit just from what she was hearing about it.
"No. She said she used a mirror in a bar inside of the village however." Galette informed him, watching him attentively as he focused his attention and powers upon Brulee's chest area.
"That explains the readings I'm getting. She overused her fruit and put a great deal of strain on her body doing so." The doctor said even though he didn't look away from his patient.
"Lady Brulee is used to using the mirrors on the islands and in the castle. By not only going an incredible distance like she had but also using an unknown and untested mirror she placed heavy strain on her body. Lord Oven you're able to heat things up without burning through them right?" The doctor asked glancing up at the orange haired fourth son who blinked but nodded."
"Yeah it's pretty easy to just warm myself up instead of going full force flames." Oven said shrugging his shoulders and reaching forward to pull Brulee into his arms and lap and warm her up, his body heat causing the snake-necks in the family to migrate closer to him.
"Good. Lady Brulee's core temperature is dropping to dangerously low levels. I need you to channel some heat into her body to keep her temperature stable until I can finish healing the strain on her lungs and heart." The doctor said making Oven narrow his eyes but nod as he knelt beside the doctor and placed his hand on his sisters arm.
"So going that far and using a new mirror did this to her?" Big Mom asked looking down at the doctor who gave a brief nod but didn't look up.
"Well not exactly. Ever since her… former fiancée tried to kill her she has had some strain on her heart and lungs. He didn't just scar up her face but he had stabbed her in the chest and it had nicked her left lung and barely missed her heart, nicking it as well."
The Charlottes growled or scowled as a few reached out to grasp onto Brulee's arms or hands.
"Usually it does not bother her unless she fights or runs for extended amounts of time, which due to her powers and her skill in ambush tactics almost never happens. However using her powers to such a degree had certainly placed an even greater strain on her body which set her heart in flux and her lung is struggling a bit." The doctor said making the older siblings exchange wide eyed looks. They hadn't known their sister had been stabbed in the chest, they thought that the blood on her dress had come from her missing nose or her facial wound."
"Considering my nose was cut off that is fair."
"Her pulse is stable now." Galette said smiling in relief a moment later, her fingers still on her sisters neck where her pulse point is.
"Yes I've managed to coax her heart back into a steady rhythm but it seems that she has been slowly overexerting herself for the last few years."
"Whoops?"
"This is much worse than a 'whoops' Brulee!"
"My bad?"
"The small nick in her lung is now an even bigger tear, this most recent trip only ripped it open but if she kept going the way she had it would have happened eventually." The doctor said just as Brulee's eyes opened and she began coughing harshly as she shot up to sit up straight.
"Sister!" Smoothie said alarmed as she knelt down to offer her sister some water while Perospero and Galette were rubbing her back."
"Yeah it sounded like you had some phlegm or something…"
"What happened? This is the first attack I've had in months." Brulee asked wiping her hand on her dress after she finished coughing, only to make her siblings recoil slightly at the blood now staining the off white dress their sister favored."
"Maybe we can have Princess Mansherry come and heal her?" Luffy said looking at his crew who nodded while Chopper was itching to go over and check on Brulee himself.
"You've overused your devil fruit ability and strained your body, especially your heart and damaged lung. And what do you mean this is your first attack in months? You never came to the doctors or nurses about these attacks!" The doctor said frowning at Brulee who just shrugged a bit.
"Sometimes my chest starts hurting and I cough up a bit of blood. It never lasts long and usually nay happens after a long mission, fight, or training session so I just ignore it. Thanks Smoothie." Brulee said smiling at her taller sister as she took the glass of water and swallowed a few gulps before she shivered a bit."
Oven warmed his body up a little more and hugged his sister, making sure she was nice and warm while she gave a small sigh and her body relaxed a little into his.
"Stupid attacks always leave me cold and faint for at least a day or so afterwards though." Brulee said making Oven literally pick her up and settle her on his lap so that he could use his power to help warm his sisters body up.
"Big Brother Oven?" Brulee questioned surprised even as her brother wound his arms around her to keep her in place."
"Yeah you surprised me there Oven-nii-san. I'm used to being cold for a few days." Brulee said and she snuggled into his arms and chest further.
"Well if you're ever cold then you come right to me. What use is the Heat-Heat fruit if I can't even keep my favorite baby sister warm?"
"How many attacks do you usually have Brulee?" Big Mom asked her voice and face unreadable as she stared down at one of her craftiest daughters."
"Which is saying something given our sisters, peroin!"
"Usually it only happens once every five or six months, more if I train or fight for a long time, or if I use my powers for extended amounts of time or across the island. But my last attack was almost a full year ago so I thought it went away." Brulee said frowning slightly even as she cuddles closer to her brother."
"Just across the island?" Hachee asked to be certain as she held onto her little sisters arm.
"Oh I can make several trips across the islands in my range without being bothered by it at all. Too many though, especially if I'm repeatedly going back and forth to the furthest Islands."
Her siblings made sure they memorized that to try and make things easier on their sister.
"Why did you never tell anyone sis?" Amande asked earning a small shrug from Brulee.
"It never came up really and usually when I have an attack then I'm alone so no one ever really saw it happen except the Homies in Forest and Randolph-san." Brulee said trying to keep her eyes open even as she curled into her big brothers warmth.
"What do you recommend for this?" Perospero asked the doctor who was giving Brulee one last look over with his powers.
"Well she needs plenty of rest and some fluids but what has me most concerned is her eating habits… or lack thereof." The Doctor said making Big Mom lean down immediately to stare the doctor in the eyes."
"Probably made the man piss his pants." Citron said with a snort.
"Explain." The doctor sweated slightly at the one word order.
"It-it would seem that Lady Brulee has a tendency to not eat a lot for several days at a time, if she eats at all. Her stomach has shrunken to less than half the size it should be for someone of her height and age. Thankfully it seems she's not heavily malnourished but if she had gone another day without eating and then tried that journey, she would have collapsed in the mirror world and I can't say how that would have ended."
"And we wouldn't have been able to get to her." Katakuri said growling slightly as he realized how badly he had failed his favorite little sister.
"The doctor said causing most of the siblings to look shocked or scared at what could have happened to their sister.
"Brulee why haven't you been eating? There's plenty of food for everyone." Big Mom asked her daughter in a surprisingly soft voice. Eating disorders were something she took very seriously, especially when it came to her family."
"Damn right I do. No one starves in Tottoland." Big Mom growled and Sanji nodded, that made her rise several points in his eyes.
"Only sweets. Makes tummy hurt. Attacks worse when I eat." Brulee slurred out drowsily as she leaned against her warm and protective brother.
"You should have told me. We could have had the cooks make something not candy or sweets for you. Daifuku run to the kitchens and have the cooks start on something not involving sweets! It needs to be small but thick. A soup or something!" Big Mom ordered her third son who nodded and, hesitating for just a second, patted Brulee's head gently before taking off down the hall."
"The chefs damn near had a heart attack thinking it was for you until I told them Brulee was sick." Daifuku said with a small smirk.
"Just keep her warm and hydrated, and get some food into her before she goes to sleep, and she should be back to normal by tomorrow morning. No training or missions for at least a week, and no using her Devil Fruit for two weeks. Nothing strenuous for at least a week until I check up on her again." The doctor said making Big Mom and the other siblings nod as the siblings all gathered around their sister. Most of them felt guilty or were blaming themselves for not noticing that something was wrong with Brulee earlier. They had noticed and even voiced how thin she was compared to the rest of them but never really paid attention to it."
"You are one of the thinnest little sister." Amande said reaching out and poking Brulee's side, causing Brulee to yelp and squirm away.
"Are you still ticklish?" Hachee asked smirking slightly and Brulee paled.
"No not at all!" Brulee said but she yelped when Amande poked her again.
"You are." Amande said with a smirk that was sadistic to her little sister.
"Okay okay. You can tickle torture her later children, let's finish the chapter first." Big Mom said grinning slightly.
"By far out of the Charlotte children who were of age she was the thinnest and weighed less than Galette or even Amande! Why had they never thought to talk to her about it?"
"To be fair, the only reason I'm so thin is because my two pregnancies screwed up my eating habits and taste buds so that I can't stand most candies." Amande reminded them and Big Mom winced at that. She made a mental note to have more foods that aren't sweets added to the menus.
"Here sis. Eat up." Daifuku appeared back in the room holding a steaming bowl of what looked to be a thick soup that had some vegetables and chicken in it. For once the bowl and it's contents weren't singing and instead looked rather solemn as the bowl was placed on Brulee's lap.
"Thanks." Brulee murmured as she tried to pick up the spoon but her hand was shaking so much she spilled most of the soup back into the bowl."
"The shakes and jitters are sometimes worse than just being cold." Brulee said shaking her head and her siblings nodded or grabbed onto her again.
"Her body will be jittery and trembling for a while, as if she were in shock. That should go away as soon as she eats some and her temperature stabilizes." The doctor said before leaving the room, causing Perospero to scooch over closer to his tall sister who looked so small in Ovens' lap as he tried to keep her warm."
"I might be taller than the younger ones, but I'm still short compared to my big brothers besides Perospero-onii-san!" Brulee said but Ace nodded his head solemnly as did Sabo.
"As the younger sibling you're supposed to be shorter. That's the rules." Ace said and the Charlottes snorted.
"Good thing we're pirates! We don't follow that rule!"
"Come on sis. Open up." Perospero said taking the bowl and holding the spoon in front of Brulee's mouth.
"I can do it Peros." Brulee said scowling weakly as she tried to take the spoon but her hand was still trembling.
"Don't be so stubborn sis. This is no different than the time you fed me soup when I was too sick to do it myself." Perospero scolded his sister who gave a small snort and a weak giggle."
"That was fair. I was just remembering how whiny you were when you were sick." Brulee said grinning at her brother.
"At least I'm not hallucinating about flying pink mushrooms eating Amande's sword." Brulee said earning a snort from Perospero while Amande gripped her swords hilt almost protectively."
"Mine. The only one who can touch or inherit my sword is Pixie." Amande said glaring around the room as if daring anyone to challenge her.
"Pixie's a great swordswoman! She'll do you proud with that sword one day Amande-nee." Smoothie said smiling at her older sister who smiled softly at the thought of her youngest.
"She already does without it."
"I don't want to imagine what you're mind would come up with, little flower, now come on. Set a good example for all our baby siblings and open wide." Perospero said earning a blush and slight glare from Brulee, but there was no real heat to it.
"I'm not five anymore goddamnit." Brulee gripped quietly, making Oven snort. His sister hadn't been five in a long time, but she sure acted like she was when sick or injured."
"To be fair you're just as bad as she is Oven." Perospero said to his younger brother who pouted while Daifuku snickered.
"Don't laugh at him Daifuku, you're worse than either of them." Katakuri said not even glancing at the blond triplet who scowled at this.
"Brulee eat the soup before I give them the order to force feed you." Big Mom finally intervened making Brulee grumble under her breath a bit before opening her mouth obediently.
"Here comes the choo choo." Perospero couldn't help but tease making Brulee glare at him as she swallowed the soup."
"You can't blame me. It was the perfect set up, peroin!" Perospero said with a grin and the rest of the elder siblings all nodded in agreement.
"I will hurt you brother Peros." Brulee googled weakly as her eldest brother just laughed and fed her another spoonful.
"Ouch!" Perospero yelped however when Galette whacked him upside the head."
"Thank you Galette." Brulee said smiling at her little sister who grinned at her.
"Anytime Brulee-nee-san!"
"It was either I do it, or Sister Brulee making herself worse by trying to do it herself. Wait until she's allowed strenuous activity again… then you can provoke her." Galette said with a shrug when they turned to her in surprise and question.
"Tamago spend the rest of the day double checking the information on Straw Hat Luffy and tell us everything tomorrow morning. Right now Brulee needs our attention and care." Big Mom ordered Tamago, her eyes never leaving her daughter who was curled up on one older brothers lap while the eldest brother fed her as if she were a child.
All of the siblings were looking at and hovering around Brulee protectively, as if she'd shatter any moment."
"You looked like you would." Compote said softly as she glanced at her sister.
"And noticing for the first time just how tall but thin, so painfully thin, her Mirror using daughter was… Big Mom couldn't blame them.
She resolved to keep an extra close eye on her children from now on in case any more of them developed eating disorders."
"It's not really so much a disorder as it is that I can't handle a lot of sweets. A few? Fine with me I love em! Too many though? That makes me feel sicker." Brulee said shaking her head and making Big Mom nod her head once.
"If you told me earlier I would have made sure that there was plenty of other foods for you to eat." Big Mom said softly and Brulee just shrugged her shoulders.
"She had failed with Brulee, she would not fail again.
Even if it meant she had to hold her children down and force feed them herself, she refused to fail like this ever again."
"Damn right I won't. None of my children or grandchildren will starve or be malnourished on my watch. I don't care if that means you need something specially made. Tell me and I will make sure that you have someone who can cook it for you." Big Mom said staring sternly at her children who looked surprised but nodded slowly in understanding.
"Thank you mama." Brulee said smiling shyly at her mother who nodded.
"I can provide your chefs with several recipes that are healthy for everyone, some are higher in calories to help put on more weight and some are lighter in calories to not take in as many." Sanji offered and Big Mom eyed the Vinsmoke, she wasn't aware that he cooked.
"You've got to try some of Sanji's food! My cook is the best!" Luffy said beaming at his siblings and mother while his arms shot out to wrap around the now embarrassed chef.
"Shitty rubber brained captain." Sanji said but he was smiling slightly as he hugged his captain back, his siblings sneering at him but he didn't give a shit about them.
"Shishishishi!" Luffy just laughed off the 'insult' and nuzzled Sanji who looked content to let the rubber boy hang off of him.
