Chapter 203: Arc 13: A Touching Reunion! Momonosuke and Kin'emon!
"By the way, what are we making?" Brook asked, helping Sanji build up a large stove.
"A stove." Sanji replied.
"It's so big." Brook noted.
"We have so many people here." Sanji reminded. "I have to use a big pot, so I need a big stove."
"Kin'emon-san!" Brook tuned to the petrified samurai. "It's so painful to see you like that. I can't turn my eyes towards him; even though I don't have eyes."
"Honestly, if we're gonna use this tanker, you should've told me." Franky chided as the G-5 fixed up the destroyed tanker. "If I knew that I'd have to fix it, I wouldn't have fought them here."
"What?" Nami blinked after Tashigi informed her of her request. "Hand the children over to the Navy?"
"Yes." the swordswoman replied.
"They ended up like that because the Navy was in charge." Nami hissed. "Am I wrong? Because you people were irresponsible, the children had to go through such a terrible time. It must've been very painful for them. I promised them. I will save them."
"All I can do is apologize." Tashigi bowed. "But I'll take full responsibility. As for their treatment, I'll ask Vegapunk for assistance and look after them once they're fully recovered. And I'll take them to their parents safely at any cost. So please, leave the children up to me."
"Law said 'Whatever you do, don't look inside'." Chopper peered through the iron door of the improvised surgery room. "But I wonder if they are really okay? What are they gonna do with them? What's wrong? " he rushed into the surgery room upon hearing the painful screams of the children. "What?" he gaped, seeing Law apparently using 'Mes' to remove the NHC-10 poison from the children's bodies.
"Seriously," Sasha sighed from the operating table. "I just know he'll misunderstand."
"What is he screaming?" Franky looked up from the repairs on the tanker deck when he heard Chopper's frantic yells. "What's going on?"
"Luffy!" Chopper screamed from the deck. "You have to stop them! He's a murderer!"
"What?" Brook echoed. "A murderer?" his sudden turn knocked Kin'emon to the floor and shattering the petrified samurai to pieces. "I am a murderer too!"
"Who is a murderer?" Luffy asked
"It's Law!" Chopper shouted.
"What's going on there?" Luffy turned to the panicking Brook.
"I murdered someone too." Brook wailed. "I mean Kin'emon-san is already dead but I broke his body! What should I do?"
"Momonosuke!" Kin'emon broke free of his petrified state.
"Father!" Momonosuke shouted, morphing back to his human form.
"Momonosuke!" both father and son hugged each other. "I can't believe you're okay. You're naked." putting a piece of rock on Momonosuke's head, Kin'emon transformed a kimono on the child''s body.
"I'm... not hungry..." Momonosuke muttered, fainting in hunger.
"Law!" Chopper stormed back to the surgery room. "Show yourself, Law! What did you do to the children?" he demanded as the older surgeon came into view. "If hurt them in any way..."
"That's why I told you not to look inside." Law chided. "Those kids, I sliced them up. It's a drug." he added, the frantic Chopper rushing in. "They still have to go through a long, painful treatment."
"You still haven't come up with the answer after two years, have you?" Sasha looked at the taller doctor.
"About that question two years ago?" Law asked. "We'll have to see, Thalassa-ya."
"Smells like Sanji's cooking up a storm." Sasha remarked.
"New Kama Kempo Technique: 99 Vital Recipes!" Sanji was adding the spices into the pot. "It'll boost up your cold and weary body. Hormone soup with sea pork!"
"It couldn't be..." Sasha paled when she recognized the recipe Sanji had chosen to cook. "So, that's why Sanji had that kind of reaction to the mermaids back on Fishman Island." facepalming, she sighed. "Now I know where Kuma sent him to two years ago."
"Thalassa-ya?" Law quirked a look.
"Ah, it's nothing." Sasha assured.
"Hey, Straw Hat-ya." Law voiced. "We have to leave in a hurry. We don't have much time to eat here; somebody's coming after us. Tell your crew."
"All right." Luffy nodded. "Guys!" he declared. "Somebody's coming after us. So you gotta hurry. It's a banquet!"
"You really should have expected this." Sasha ribbed the shocked surgeon.
"No kidding." Law muttered.
"Kuma sent you to the the Momoiro Island, didn't he?" Sasha teased Sanji who was behind the pot as she refilled her bowl.
"Sasha-hime, please don't remind me..." Sanji shivered in horror.
"But for you to actually defeat the 99 Newkama Kenpo masters just to receive the 99 recipes," Sasha grinned. "Ivankov-san must've really put you through the winger."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
