Thanks so much for the reviews! Sorry for the wait but I really hope you enjoy this chapter!
"Sanji! You're awake!" Chopper said as the crew entered the kitchen. "How are you feeling?!" He ran up to the blond setting on the bench and grabbed the thermometer off the table.
"I'm fine, Chopper."
"You weren't fine earlier…." Ichiji said. "Niji had to cook because you couldn't even walk by yourself."
"I can guarantee that that wasn't the only reason Niji decided to cook."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Yonji asked.
"Nothing…" Sanji said before ginining, "I just think he was trying to~ …!"
Niji ran up to Sanji and covered his mouth with one hand and held his head with the other, so he couldn't back away.. "Say it and die!" He said into his younger brother's ear.
"He was trying to what?" Ichiji asked.
"! ...Nothing!" Niji said turning around waving his hands in front of his face. "You're right! Sanji was in no condition to do it, and Cosette and the Old Geezer wasn't here… so someone had to… And I knew the two of you weren't going to…. Sanji's an Idiot… you know that…! S-So why listen to him…?!"
"Hey! I'm the only one who can call Zeff that! …!... WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT!"
"That would be you, Sanji," Ichiji replied.
"What do you mean 'aloud'! I never once gave you permission to call me that, ya Little brat!"
"Same goes to you! How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not a little brat anymore!"
"Hey! Can we stop fighting and set sail aIl ready?" Niji asked.
"Yes," Nami said taking a seat next to Sanji. "Zoro is raising the anchor as we speak. Hey, your electricity is back."
"Hmm?" Niji said glancing down at his hand. "Oh, yeah we discovered that earlier. But I apparently can't control it right now."
"It's not fair, I want my strength back," Yonji whined slamming his head on the table, "Ow."
"What about your exoskeleton?" Ichiji chuckled.
"That would be nice too," he replied rubbing his forehead.
Chopped stared at the electricity radiating off of Niji's hands before glancing to Sanji. He could see a hint of sadness in the Cook's visible eye as he stared at his own hands folded in his lap. The little doctor turned to Law, who nodded once and followed Chopper out of the kitchen.
"Those two are up to something," Nami said resting her head on Sanji's shoulder.
"So I've noticed," Sanji replied wrapping an arm around her waist. "This stop didn't mess up our course, did it? I mean it's not going to take longer to get there now, is it?"
"Other than the time we took to go shopping? No this Island was pretty much on the way so even if it was a little off course, we'll still get there by tomorrow."
Sanji gave her a single nod.
"We need to figure this out and fast," Chopper said to the surgeon as he hurried to his desk and began to unpack his new medical supplies and setting up his work space.
"Mmhmm," Law said laying on the bed with his legs crossed and flipping through a thin paperback book.
"WOULD YOU PUT THAT MAGAZINE DOWN AND HELP ME! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE TIME! IF ALL THEIR ENHANCEMENTS COME BACK BEFORE WE…."
"Would you calm down. I am helping!"
"YOU'RE READING A MAGAZINE!"
"It's not a magazine… it's a Manga."
"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!"
"Not when the Manga is about the people you're trying to help."
"What?"
"Yes Chopper, there is a Manga on Germa 66. It's the Sora, Warrior of the Sea Manga. I have all of the first edition copies. I thought maybe if I looked through some of them I could find something useful. I mean I know they're not written by Judge or anyone from Germa but it still could have something that might help."
"Oh. But I still need help over here."
"Alright," he replied setting the manga aside and standing up.
"Sanji's asleep again, I see," Ichiji said as he entered the aquarium.
"Yeah," Nami replied stroking Sanji's hair as he lay on her shoulder. "He got really tired all the sudden."
"Weakling," Niji muttered before getting punched in the head by someone. "Ouch!" He said looking up at Yonji who was sitting next to him. "What was that for!"
"Stop rubbing in the fact that your enhancements are coming back and not ours! I've been sitting here for the past twenty minutes watching you use your electricity! And frankly it's getting on my nerves!"
"Aww is poor ickle Yonji jealous?" Niji teased, touching his younger brother's cheek with an electricity engulfed finger.
"Ow! Why you!" Yonji yelled, tackling Niji.
"Ow, ow, ow, Yonji! Not the hair!"
"Then stop with the electricity!"
"Boys!"
"WHAT?!" They replied looking up to see Sora standing there tapping her foot with her arms crossed. "MOM!"
"Hi!" Yonji said as the both of them jumped to their feet.
"How long have you been standing there?" Niji asked, scratching the back of his neck.
"Long enough. Are you two trying to wake your brother up?"
"Yonji started it!"
"Me! You're the one that's been using your electricity all day!"
"Yeah well I'm not the one pulling people's hair! That's real childish!"
"You were told not to use your enhancements yet!"
"I'm only trying to get them under control!"
Sanji turned to bury his face in Nami's shoulder.
"You okay, Sanji-kun?"
"The three stooges are being loud," he replied sleepily.
"WHO YOU CALLING THE THREE STOOGES AND WHY ARE YOU LUMPING ME IN WITH THOSE TWO! I'VE BARELY SAID ANYTHING!"
"Ichiji, I'm sure he knows that. Sora said sitting on the other side of Sanji. She placed a hand on his forehead, "you're starting to get a bit warm again."
"I was hoping I was just imagining it," Nami sighed.
"Ichiji, would you mind taking your brother to the boys dorm where it's a bit more quiet?"
Ichiji sighed but reached down and took Sanji's arm, wrapping it around his shoulders for better support.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Mom."
"No! Nami-san! I want Nami-san!"
"Shut up! I swear if you make me have to carry you, you'll regret it!"
"Well aren't they sweet," Reiju said after entering the room and holding the door for her brothers. She walked over and sat next to Sora who as silently chucklin.
"Hey Reiju? Have you seen Cosette?" Niji asked setting back down on the bench.
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"No reason! Where is she?"
Reiju hesitantly replied, staring at him skeptically, "I-in the kitchen helping Zeff."
And at that Niji took off like a streak of lightning, well as close to a streak of lightning as he could get without stealth, yelling, "COSETTE-CHAAAN! DO YOU NEED ANY HEEELP!"
