The room was suddenly filled with an awkward silence. Amy's face turned bright red, while Tashigi's face mirrored hers. Amy should not have said that out loud, or at all. Suddenly, Tashigi slapped Amy in the face turning her cheek more red, letting a smack fill the room. Yeah she did deserve that...why didn't Vicky run in here yet? She probably wondered off somewhere, most likely talking to those Amy just healed.

"PERVERT!" Tashigi got up to leave grabbing her blue jacket, but Amy reached out to grab her arm.

"I'm sorry! And I'm not done so sit down!" Amy said. The blue beauty glared at her, and then sighed, closing her eyes.

"Fine." Tashigi said as she sat down angrily. She crossed her arms over her chest. Oh...so that's what she thought Amy was talking about. Yeah she should have worded that better. When Amy touched Tashigi's hand,who was confused why she needed to hold Amy's hand, she saw everything, including Tashigi's future growth. She was going to have a lot of back pains in the future, and who the hell had that type of waist? Tashigi looked like she needed to wear kids belts! That and combined with her future bust, she was going to look like a Barbie!

"I wasn't talking about your boobs." Amy said awkwardly. Tashigi seemed a bit sheepish after words as her mouth formed an o.

Other than Tashigi's future body, the rest of her seemed similar to those she healed before her. Their muscles and bones were denser, and could easily be classified as a brute one at the very least. The most interesting part, their lack of the corona pollentia in their brains. Amy would have found this to be very suspicious and think a biotinker was involved, if Miss Militia didn't brief her when she arrived. Another Earth, who would've thought. Now she was going to need to fill out a whole stack of NDA's, great.

Finishing up the last touches, Amy fixed her eyes and nodded.

"I'm done now." Amy said, removing her hand from Tashigi's. It was still awkward. Tashigi took off her glasses, blinked several times, and smiled.

"I'm uh, I'm sorry for slapping you!" Tashigi said standing up and bowing at her soon to be smaller waist.

"It's fine. I should phrase my sentences better." Amy replied, waving her off. Tashigi nodded nervously.

"Are all the doctors here like you?" Tashigi asked. Amy looked at her confused. Doctors, like her?

"Oh! Nope, I'm not a doctor. Just everyone's favorite healer." She muttered that last part bitterly. "My power allows me to fix people up." A bold lie.

"Ohhh I see. Must be nice having a devil fruit power like that. Anyways, thank you so much for helping us! I'll let the Captain know it's his turn." Tashigi bowed again and left quickly before Amy could respond.

Devil fruit power?

"Well that was weird."

Leaning back in her chair, Amy sighed. It was just like Armsmaster to call in a favor like this when she was on her break. At least she didn't have to see Carol for another while longer. Imagine her surprise when she showed with Vicky, only to discover she had to heal about twenty men and one woman from another Earth.

Most of them were on the verge of having scurvy, a few already had scurvy, and a couple had broken bones. That combined with the wreck of a ship nearby meant they had gone through hell.

A loud knock came from the other side of the door. Well, at least Amy was almost done now. Sadly, Carol wouldn't let her go to the hospital after this.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a huge, muscular man walked through. Amy had seen him briefly arguing with Miss Militia when she arrived, it was pretty hard not to see him. Easily over six feet tall, with blue-green hair, and covered in muscle that was still showing despite him wearing a white jacket with cigars everywhere, he made a pretty impressive figure despite being shorter than Uncle Neil.

"Please sit down." His name was Smoker if Amy heard right. Heh, that was funny. Smoker's cold eyes met Amy's, and he grinned when Amy didn't look away.

Smoker sat in the chair opposite to Amy. She was mildly surprised it didn't break under his weight.

"I'm Panacea. Do I have your permission to heal you?" Amy extended her hand.

"Captain Smoker. Go ahead." Smoker extended his hand after taking off his glove, and Amy grabbed it. This...was not normal. She had seen the man with two cigars in his mouth, yet there was no damage to his lungs! Amy doubted that he had just started smoking too. Like the others, he had denser muscles and bones, but Smoker was also different. Amy closed her eyes to focus. Something else was there. Meanwhile, she fixed his bacteria and immune system to be up to date.

Smoker's...wasn't entirely human. Something else was there, and Amy didn't know what it was.

"Are you part of this 'Protectorate?" Smoker asked. His voice was deep, and very masculine.

"Nope. Me and my sister are a part of New Wave, another hero group." Amy responded. Wow, so his hair is colored that way naturally, and she couldn't detect any trace of steroids.

Smoker grunted in affirmation.

"You don't hide your faces like them." Smoker continued. Amy paused for a second. That was mostly true. Only Eric wore a visor on his face.

"New Wave believes in cape accountability." Amy said. That is what Aunt Sarah had told her when she was younger. "It was meant to start a movement, but its feet never got off the ground I guess."

"A shame. Only cowards hide behind masks, though I do see the reason behind them. Not everyone can defend themselves as we can." Smoker said. So he was a cape then. Maybe his power had something to do with smoke?

Amy shrugged in return.

"I'm done now." She stood up to stretch.

Smoker grinned and placed his glove back on his hand.

"On behalf of me and my crew, thank you. I shall remember this." Smoker stood up as well, easily dwarfing her.

"It's nothing, just doing my duty." Amy waved him off. Everyone always said that.

Smoker looked her in the eye, but nodded in thanks again.

"If you ever need any help, let me know." Smoker started walking towards the door, but paused. "And you look like you'll need this." He took something from his jacket and threw it at her, which she caught.

It was a cigar. How did he-

Smoker was already gone when she looked up. Weird, Amy didn't hear the door open.

A/N

This one is shorter than usual. Sorry!

There aren't many fights yet, but don't worry they'll come after Smoker and crew are settled down. Or maybe not.

I'm going to take a break this weekend. I'll try posting by Monday, maybe Sunday if I'm bored and decide to write.

AND

I'm looking for a co writer to help make up for my lack of knowledge of one piece. I'm in the Alabasta arc, but I skimmed the wiki. If you're interested feel free to send me a PM/DM
