Sanji and Zoro go into their fighting pose. There was no way they are getting away from the wolves without a fight. Said wolves took a step forward but Zoro and Sanji stand their ground. Sanji and Zoro don't back down. Never have and never will, especially by wolves.

One of the bigger wolves came charging at the blonde. Sanji balances on one leg ready to kick the wolf if it jumps at him. Not paying attention he hears Zoro scream. He turns to see the man having one sword drawn, blood on the blade and two wolves attacking him. One sinking its teeth into his shoulder and claws digging into his arm. Another one is biting his leg. Sanji looked back at the wolf in front of him and before he could react the wolf jumps at him. He's ready to block but his reaction time is not fast. The wolf bites his legs, he shouts out profanities at the feel of being being bites on his leg. He's able to kick the wolf off with momentum. As he readies to continue to fight he felt a tug on his backpack.

"Run!" Zoro shouts. The blonde turns to see Zoro standing there, face scrunched up in slight pain. He didn't look good but from Zoro perspective he didn't look so good either. Both of their faces were slightly pick with heat, both of their heads are swimming and now they are both losing blood from the wolf bites. Sanji grabs Zoro's arm and pulls him as they run.


Zoro opened his eye blinking, all he sees is brown, he is on the ground, laying face down in the dirt. He heard a growl coming from his left and turns sharply to see in the shadows of the forest red eyes. The wolves are still after them. He scrambles to his feet, he didn't even need to check he knew, for some reason, that the cook is next to him. Keeping his eyes on the wolf he picks Sanji up and starts to drag him away, going forward in any direction not caring that he's not going in the right direction, towards the Sunny. It was better than staying in that one spot.

His whole body hurt, he didn't feel right. He hasn't felt right since he was sprayed by the pollen. It had to be the reason they were doing so bad against these wolves. And he knows from fighting these wolves that his reaction time is getting slow, his haki isn't working correctly, his movements have slowed and he can't think correctly now. He's also noticed that Sanji is experiencing the same problem. His movement have also gotten slow. He doesn't know if everything else is the same for him but it could be with the fact that they are getting their ass beat by wolves.

Zoro heard Sanji mumble something, so he mumbled something back. He was so focused on going forward that he couldn't think right. He couldn't feel a lot of his own body. He needed to focus on one thing and that's get out alive.

Zoro let out a scream as he felt pain in his leg. He couldn't control himself and fell, dropping Sanji on the ground, falling next to him. Zoro screamed again as he felt something bite his neck again.

Sanji growled as he saw Zoro get bitten on his neck. It seemed to work as the wolf let go of Zoro whose eyes were slowly closing, eyes no longer seeing. Sanji saw another wolf come out, along with more. They all started sniffing them, the blonde felt a cold snout against his hair and neck. He turned to vaguely see the wolf sniffing down his body. He had no idea why they were doing it but he also didn't care much, his body ached to much and he was tired, he just wanted to end this chase already. Soon they finished and left them alone, going back into the forest.

Sanji powered through, he didn't know how long he could last. He saw that it was getting dark so he got up and quickly got sticks and trees. He gathered them and set them on fire to keep them warm for the night. He check Zoro, not getting far before he too fell over, eyes closing no matter how hard he tried to keep them open.

It was so weird that they were getting this beat by wolves. As soon as they ran away from the wolves they got chased. They fought where they had to but they had to run. And Sanji didn't know what it was but he just couldn't navigate properly, things were starting to blur together, shift, and spin a little. He knew they were both struggling to even continue. They couldn't walk, they both looked tired for some unknown reason, they've been in harsher conditions. Because their mind wasn't right they ended near a cliff and were surround. They were attacked by the wolves they did their best to fight them off, but they got more injured, and because they aren't paying attention they fall down the cliff. That's the last thing he remembers before blacking out, then he wakes up to Zoro dragging him away.


"I found them!" Sanji scrunched his face groaning as he rubs it into the dirt, still so tired. "Sanji! What happened?" He knew that voice as Choppers. When did they get here?

"This doesn't look good." Usopp says seeing Zoro and Sanji. He hasn't seen them like this since Thriller Bark and Sabaody. No one thought they'd see them like this again. Especially Zoro.

"I've got Zoro. Robin can you get Sanji?" Chopper asks as he goes to Zoro who seemed worse.

"Of course." Robin answers.

"Come on Usopp, let's get their bags." Nami says helping Chopper and Robin get the backpack the two still had on. There is still some fruits and ingredients inside. Nami walked in front of everyone, with Robin and Chopper behind her, Usopp being the last, behind everyone.

When they reached the Sunny Chopper and Robin run to the infirmary. Usopp and Nami went into the galley to put the food away.

As Chopper works on both of the boys Nami and Robin make a late dinner for everyone, a very late dinner. They saved a plate for Chopper, they knew he would be working late.

After dinner everyone stayed as the girls cleaned, Usopp and Franky helping as Luffy is still hungry. They weren't going anywhere until Chopper comes out of the infirmary and tells them Zoro and Sanji are okay.

They have a lot of questions for the two but those could wait.
