Posession [2/?]

Shanks came down to the living area where all the beds and chesterfields were set up. Roronoa Zoro was resting on the only chesterfield drinking some water that Nami was forcing down his throat. He could make out Yasopp trying not to act like a protective father as his son, Usopp was still unconcious. Uncannily, the kid has his mother's nose and apparently his father's shot, if he heard right from the girl.
"You, the red-headed man, you're red-haired Shanks, are you not?"
Shanks turned towards Zoro,"And if I am?"
"Luffy speaks highly of you and what you did for him." Zoro replied and then continued to sip the water.
After saying that Zoro went to sleep, right there and then. Nami sighed, stood up and shook her head, "Baka."
Shanks scratched his head, "I'm guessing he does that a lot."
"Yeah, and usually when he wakes up, he's all healed up." Nami replied.
"NAMI-SANNNNN~~~~~, I have some fruit for youuu~~~."Sanji crowed out, hearts in his eyes and carrying a dish towards Nami.
Shanks shook his head and whispered, "What an odd crew. You did great kid."
"Thank you Sanji-kun." Nami whispered as she nibbled on the fruit.
Sanji thrust some meat towards Shanks, "Here." And walked away.
Shanks looked at Sanji oddly as he ate the meat, "Don't mind him, he's like that with everybody. But he really is nice." Nami smiled slightly.
Ben, the first mate, came into the cabin. "Captain, we found some blood on the walls near the tangerine trees. It read 32N and 46W. I think it's co-ordinates, I'm guessing Usopp managed to write them down before he became unconscious."
Nami's eyes went wide and she ran to her desk and got her compass and map out, mutter slightly and writing things down with her quill, a triumphant look on her face emerged.
"She's heading towards Fishy Island."
"And how do you know that missy?" Ben asked.
Just as Nami was about to reply a coughing was heard from the chesterfield. "'Cause she's the best naviagtor in all of the blue seas. *coughcough* And that's no lie mister."
"You had us worried needlenose. Next time don't do such a stupid stunt." Sanji said as he laid some water and toast on the table for Usopp.
Yasopp seemed to fade into the background as Nami started to berate him for doing such a stupid thing. Shanks and Ben started to leave for the main deck as well.
As the three ment came aboard the main deck they noticed that Lucky Roux [AN: guy always eating a piece of meat] was getting the crew to fix the sails and any damaged caused to the ship.
"He, he seems to have found a wonderful crew. And only god knows why, but Usopp is a part of Luffy's crew. I'm glad he is. If there was anyone I would want my boy to be part of a crew, it would be Luffy." Yasopp said quietly as folded his arms across his chest.
You wouldn't know it by looking at the man, but he was worried for his son.
"You're worried about him, aren't you?" Shanks asked.
"Yes, just liked your worried about Luffy. Stuipd Belladonna, knew we shoulda killed her when we got her that time." Yasopp exclaimed bitterly.
"Won't do us any good to dwell on the past, what's done is done. Those four will want to go after Belladonna, the best we can do is offer our aid. It's their nakama that is in trouble. They'll only let us help because of our previous affiliation with Luffy." Ben exclaimed quietly.
Shanks laughed, "You always know the right things to say Ben. You're right, we're gonna help them kicked Belladonna's ass!!"
"We'll have to tell them all we know about her. They'll want to be prepared." Yasopp mutttered as he kept twirling his gun in his hand.
"Very true."
"YOU BAKA!!! HOW COULD YOU RE-OPEN YOUR WOUND FROM BARATIE'S. GOD!! WE SERIOUSLY NEED A DOCTOR ON THIS SHIP. WHEN WE GET LUFFY BACK, I'M GONNA WRING HIS SCRAWNY NECK UNTIL HE AGREES TO GET A DOCTOR!!!"
The other pirates on deck stopped for a moment to listen to the rant and quickly went back to their work. They knew a woman's wrath would happen upon them if they weren't doing something to hide...no, to keep out of her way. Hiding was not manly. Keeping out of her way was.
Shanks chuckled, "She sounds pissed."
"At least it's not directed at us." Ben said.
"So very true. Maybe we should get out of her way before she decides we're good targets." Yasopp suggested.
The three manly men, as manly as possible walked down the stairs to help assist in repairs and to keep out of the way.
