"In the Grand Line, even a little cold can kill you… Isn't their anyone on board who knows a little medicine?" Vivi asks within Apis, her's and Nami's room.
"Only Usopp and I know anything about medicine but all I know is the basics, Usopp's the real medic since normally it's Usopp who patches everyone up" Nami sighs worried herself, wishing she knew more.
"He just needs to eat some meat! That will cure him right Sanji?" Luffy asks.
"I'll give him something he can eat like usual due to his throat, that's basic care for any sick person but it won't make him better necessarily, as embarrassing as it is to admit Usopp knows more about medicinal cuisine then me and what's good to feed to different people in situations like this, but I have no idea what he's got, though as long as I'm the ships cook you don't have to worry about basic nutrition" Sanji says sheepishly.
"Then just feed him all of it!" Luffy exclaims.
"That's a good way to make a healthy person sick!" Sanji instantly refutes his logic.
"Che! Figures Usopp knows more then the actual cook" Zoro scowls from his place leaning against the wall.
"What did you say moss-head!"
"You head me stupid love cook!"
"Quiet everyone! Usopps temperature is 101 degrees! His fever is getting worse!" Vivi exclaims worried.
"How much further is Alabasta? There has to be a doc there yeah?" Zoro asks, a deep thorough to his brow.
"I'm not exactly sure but it will be at least another week at most!" Vivi says conflicted.
"Does it hurt to get sick?" Luffy asks.
"Don't know, I've never been sick before" Sanji and Zoro say together, instantly glaring at each other for saying the same thing…
"ARE YOU, PEOPLE, EVEN HUMAN!?" Nami and Vivi yell at the idiots.
"Of course it hurts Usopp! A temperature of 101 is high! If it climbs any higher it could be catastrophic! He could die!" Nami exclaims to the morons getting shocked looks and wide eyes.
"WHAAAA!? USOPP'S GONNA DIE!?"
"Usopp please don't die! I couldn't stand to be the only cook on the ship!"
"Shit! Isn't there anything we can do!?"
"STOP RUNNING AND SHUT UP!" Nami bellows at the idiots.
"We gotta find a doctor to cure Usopp!" Luffy shouts panicked.
"Alright, I know but don't shout! The noise isn't good for him normally especially now that he is really sick!" Vivi tries to calm him down concerned for Usopps health.
"This isn't good… I didn't want to say anything before but now… here read this Vivi" Nami says taking something out of her desk drawer and Vivi's eyes continue to widen as she reads it.
"It can't be…."
"What is it, Vivi? Is something wrong?"
"Is it about Alabasta?"
"This is terrible! 300,000 soldiers have defected from the kingdom and joined the rebels! The rebel army used to have 400,000 and the royal army had 600,000 this completely changes everything!" Vivi exclaims shocked.
"It's from three days ago… I didn't want to say anything and worry you since it won't make the ship go any quicker but now the fighting will intensify… Do you understand the importance guys? Luffy?" Nami asks a steely look in her eyes.
"I know it's pretty bad," Luffy says and Nami sighs in relief at that with the others nodding along.
"I get the importance but as far as I'm concerned, Usopp's just as important as Vivi's country, we need to find a doctor immediately" Zoro stats not about to budge on this at all.
"Right! We can't go and stop a war without Usopp!" Luffy says nodding just as seriously on the matter.
"That's right, I suggest we find the closest island, find a doctor and get back out as soon as we can, I dislike admitting it but without Usopp, we would be lost or possibly dead without all his precautions and inventions," Nami says with a small sigh and smile.
"I have to prevent the war at all costs! Or Alabasta will be done for! I don't just need to get home alive but as soon as possible! I simply have to get home or a million or more of my people will die!" Vivi practically cries, completely conflicted on what to do now with Usopp sick.
"A million people!?" Luffy exclaims.
"You have a heavy weight on your shoulders Vivi-chan" Sanji whispers concerned over the princess.
"I know Vivi and that is why we need Usopp! He can do what none of us can! He can stop them from harming each other with his bullets!" Nami says.
"Without Usopp, a lot more people will die" Zoro seriously states.
"Nami! Come quick! The wind is changing! Tiny said a big storm is coming! It's a twister!" Apis shouts running in.
"What!? Vivi stay here with Usopp! Everyone else it's time to get to work! Hurry!" Nami yells running out with everyone else following suit quickly.
When everyone leaves Vivi grits her teeth, all but scrunching the newspaper in her hands and looks at Usopp's sick and sleeping form.
"What do I do Usopp? I have to get home as soon as possible… as kind as you are would you begrudge my selfishness in wishing to get home as fast as possible…?" Vivi asks tears forming in her eyes if it was Nami that was sick perhaps the decision to finding a doctor first would be easier since Nami is an amazing navigator and without her, they will no doubt die before reaching the shores of her kingdom.
A hand touching her arm nearest the bed shocks her and Vivi turns to Usopp who is shaking his head and Vivi lets her tears spill over freely. Usopp is truly too kind to be a pirate… Vivi at that moment starts to believe what Luffy and Nami once told her about Usopp being the heart of the crew.
"…Thank you Usopp…. Thank you! Get some rest… I'll go and help the others" Vivi wetly says and putting the paper down goes outside, watching them run around getting the ship to move directions.
"Everyone! I need to ask for a favor! I know this is selfish of me but I need to get to Alabasta as soon as possible! My country is in grave danger and without me, it's done for! So I ask you to please sail this ship at max speed and head straight for Alabasta… so let's look for an island close by! Without the heart of this crew up and well we'll lose, won't we!? So let's go and find a doctor!" Vivi exclaims earning smiles all around and cheers.
"Absolutely! Were dead without Usopp!" Luffy grins widely.
"Heh…Heart of the crew huh? Accurate description I suppose" Zoro smirks planning to tease Usopp with that later, not that Usopp would ever agree with that of course, Insecure and unconfident idiot that he is.
"Vivi you're so kind! I love you~~!" Sanji coos.
"Thank you, everyone!"
Tiny inwardly grins from within Apis's arms, pleased with the knowledge his human will be seen to soon, his aura is getting weaker and black is spreading faster then he expected and he has seen a lot of humans die in his many lifetimes.
"Usopp will be seen to soon Tiny, he'll be better before you know it!" Apis whispers and Tiny agrees.
His human will be better soon and his aura will shine even more brightly! He knows it!
It's the middle of the night when Usopp wakes up into some form of consciousness again, sitting up slowly he looks around and smiles softly at the sight of everyone sleeping around him, Tiny curled up tightly next to his side and looking at him and cooing softly.
Taking off his left glove Usopp gently scratches Tiny under his chin and grins with a soft chuckle at the almost purring sound he lets out.
"You're awake… you doing okay?" Usopp starts slightly at the voice and looks at Zoro who is looking at him with an intense look in his eye. So with a lack of voice, he just gives a small nod and Zoro grins.
"Heh, you're still a shitty fibber even without a voice, want a glass of water?" Zoro asks and Usopp inwardly huffs a laugh at his teasing but nods to the offer of water. He's really parched.
Weakly taking the offered glass Zoro pours for him he opens his mask a little and drinks in relief as the cool water flows down his rough throat.
"Better?" Usopp nods to the question with a small smile and feels his face heat up more from the small but honest boyish smile he gets in return.
It's criminal Zoro can look so good when here he is sick as a dog and an ugly plain in his own looks. Not that original Usopp was ugly but the Usopp he is now isn't going to be turning any heads even if he didn't wear a mask.
"Well get some more sleep, we'll be getting you a doctor in the morning so save your strength," Zoro says gently pushing him to lie back down and Usopp doesn't try to protest. Couldn't even if he wanted to and just closes his eyes again, still gently patting Tiny and relaxes as he falls back asleep.
"Heh… night moron" Zoro whispers leaning back against the wall and closing his own eyes for some more shuteye himself, it's going to be a long day tomorrow.
"Hey, Nami you see any doctors?" Luffy asks and Nami gains a tick mark on her forehead at the stupid comment.
"Idiot! As if we will find a doctor standing in the middle of the ocean! I swear you're going to make me go insane one day with your idiocy!" Nami huffs annoyed as it is with all the snow around her. It's absolutely freezing!
"Hey, guys take a look! Is that a doctor?" Sanji asks from his spot in the crow's nest and Nami almost growls.
"Not you too! There is no… WHAT THE HELL!?" Nami practically screams seeing the weird clown standing on top of the water.
"Woah! A guy is standing on the water! Nami is that a doctor!?" Luffy and Apis ask excitedly.
"OF COURSE NOT IDIOTS!"
"…"
"….."
"…"
"Boy sure is cold today isn't it?" the unknown clown asks after the strange staring contest.
"Ah… yeah sure is!" Luffy says nodding.
"Really?" clown asks in wonder and Nami gains another tick mark.
"OF COURSE IT'S COLD! NOW WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU!?" Nami screams at the fool, not in the mood to deal with even more idiots today.
"A clown!"
"I CAN SEE THAT!"
WHOOOOOOSH! SPLASH!
"Woah! What's that!? A watermelon!?" Luffy asks looking at the rapidly rising ship.
"It's obviously a ship!" Nami and Apis both yell at Luffy this time.
"It can't be a ship!" Sanji almost yells in surprise.
"BWHAHAHAHA! Were you completely surprised by my Blicking? My submersible giant attack ship!?" An irritating male voice calls out.
"Blicking? What a stupid name!" Sanji says more shocked at the horrible name of the pirate ship then it actually appearing.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY SHIP!"
"It is pretty stupid you know?" Luffy and Apis point out and the fat man gains a bigger tick mark then any Nami has shown before.
"I'LL SHOW YOU! Men! Prepare to fire!" the fat man shouts out and suddenly many men in green coats are pointing rifles at them.
BANG!
"Hey what's going on? Usopp is sick enough without all this banging around!" Zoro growls banging open the door and glaring at the people surrounding them.
"These assholes attacked us," Sanji says lighting a cigarette.
"Thought so… Hey, assholes move it! Were in a hurry here!" Zoro growls at the irritating people stopping them from getting to a doctor.
"Mm 5 of you and a duck? Can't just be 5 of you and a duck… never mind I've got a question" The fattest guy asks that Zoro guess's is the captain.
"What sort of question?" Nami nervously asks.
"Who is that guy!? He just ate that knife!" Luffy asks mind boggled.
"Yeah, my mouth hurts just looking at it!" Apis says cringing away from the sight.
"We want to go to the drum kingdom! Do you have an eternal pose or even a log pose?" the fat guy asks and everyone looks at the guy blankly, even Luffy!
"Who travels the Grand Line without a Log pose?" Nami asks a fine brow raised up.
"What are you an idiot?" Luffy asks.
"Even babies know not to do that!" Apis says to add insult to injury.
"SHUT UP! WHAT WE DO IS OUR OWN BUSINESS!" The fat guy yells.
"True! Sorry, but we don't have an eternal pose to that place or a spare log pose you can use" Sanji says shrugging.
"Yeah I've never even heard of that place," Nami says.
"Yeah so if you're done get lost!" Luffy says annoyed.
"No need to rush through life! If you don't have either of those we'll just steal your ship and treasure instead! Just a moment I'm still a bit hungry!"
CHOMP!
"WHAT THE!? WHAT IS THIS GUY!" Sanji shouts eyes practically popping out of his skull at the sight.
"HE'S EATING OUR SHIP! STOP IT!" Luffy yells out pissed off.
"Don't move you! Captain Wapols eating!" A guy shouts outpointing his gun at Luffy.
"SHUT UP!" Luffy yells punching the guy into the water.
"That damn no good dirty little! FIRE!" a random guy shouts out and everyone ready's their weapon.
"Heh, it's what we should've done from the start!" Zoro says irritated making his way over to the nearest opponent, Usopp is going to be so pissed Merry was damaged, let alone taken a bite out of on his watch.
"Oh good, we can fight! We better beat them good! Usopp is going to be so pissed Merry Go was literally getting eaten while we just stood around and watched!" Sanji calls grinning.
"I know! There buttholes!" Apis shouts slashing her whip with a loud crack.
"I'll leave these idiots to you guys! I'm going to check on Usopp and the others!" Nami calls casually walking back inside, inwardly gritting her teeth at not being strong enough to join in the fight with them… when Usopp is better she is so asking for him to build her a weapon as he did Apis!
"Nami! What's going on!? I hear gunfire!" Vivi calls when Nami walks in.
"Just some stupid pirates, don't worry about it the others have it handled" Nami waves off walking over to Usopp, Tiny burrowed in close to his side, refusing to leave it and Nami smiles at the sight, snapping a photo because Usopp currently can't.
"This ship is tasty!" Wapol says happily pissing Luffy off.
"HEY HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO EAT? STOP IT! USOPP IS GOING TO BE SO PISSED OFF AT US WHEN HE WAKES UP!" Luffy shouts enraged at this guy hurting Merry and the revenge Usopp will dish out on him! He doesn't want to lose his seat for another day! Or not get to eat yummy food cause he tampered it with hot sauce or not get any meat to eat again!
"HAHAHA, he dares to challenge Captain Wapol! He'll devour you with the power of the munch, munch fruit!" a random guy laughs before getting grabbed and thrown into other members of his crew by Apis.
"Shut your mouth! This is our ship and not even a devil fruit eater is going to ruin it! Not when we have our own users on board! Not to mention an angry sniper!" Apis shouts letting bouts of electricity fly free shocking her opponents.
"Wah! Luffy!" Sanji calls out just as jaws close around Luffy's upper body.
"Huh? What is this? He's too chewy!" Wapol complains before widening his eyes in shock at the wide outstretched arms rapidly flying towards him like a bullet.
"TAKE OFF YOU BASTARD! NO ONE MESSES WITH MY MEAT OR MY SHIP!" Luffy bellows shoving him off just as Zoro whacks him over the head.
"Idiot! You just broke the ship more!" Zoro huffs, face both scowling and smiling fully planning to blame Luffy for the damage to the ship, he's not going to face Usopp's wrath.
"EH!? NO WAY! MY MEAT!" Luffy bellows, thinking about losing his precious meat again and having to only eat yucky veggies or that Tofu crap again like last time he accidentally damaged Merry.
"CAPTAIN WAPOL! THIS IS BAD! CAPTAIN WAPOLS BEEN HURLED INTO THE SEA! RETREAT!" Clown guy shouts and every one of Wapols crew rapidly departs off back to their ship and quickly out of sight much to the relief of everyone around them.
"Well, those weirdo's are gone… what do we do about the ship? Usopp's the carpenter!" Apis asks looking at all the damage.
"Can't we just fix it?" Luffy asks to which Sanji kicks his head.
"Moron! We could but knowing Usopp he would just get more pissed off at the shit job we will most likely do and will redo it again and plan a punishment we will be feeling for weeks if not months afterward for it!" Sanji says shivering at the thought.
Usopp isn't usually one to get mad or hold a grudge but he sure can get extremely petty and scary when it comes to Merry or Tiny being messed with or hurt. He comes up with some interesting pranks in revenge, everyone has learned by now to not do anything stupid with Merry or pick on Tiny, having personally experienced Usopp's revenge, and the guys so patient, quiet and unassuming you never expect it and it can happen days if not weeks or months down the line.
Everyone shivers in fear at the reminder before Apis sighs.
"How about we just block it off for now and wait till we get to either an island with a shipwright or Usopp gets better? That way at least Usopp won't punish us too bad…" She says and everyone agrees to that suggestion, no one wants to face Usopp's revenge.
Plan in place everyone gets to work.
"I wonder who those guys were anyway?" Luffy asks.
"They where just a bunch of idiots, forget them" Sanji waves it off.
"More importantly the weathers been stable lately, cold but stable" Sanji adds on looking at the snow still falling around them.
"That's right! Do you think it means were near an island?" Apis asks excitedly.
"Maybe," Zoro says.
"A snow island then! This is great! This means Usopp can get better and then it's off to Alabasta!" Luffy grins.
"YEAH! Let's find this snow island!" Apis calls out and everyone cheers.
"OI! UP AHEAD! I SPOT AN ISLAND!" Apis calls out from the crow's nest the next day with a bright grin on her face.
"AN ISLAND!? Usopp did you hear! It's an island!" Luffy exclaims excitedly in his spot next to where Usopp lays asleep still.
"Just go and look moron I've got him," Zoro says annoyed at Luffy's rapid fidgeting.
Luffy doesn't need to be told twice and all but vanishes from the room much to Zoro's annoyance but he still smiles, looking at Usopp as he does with soft eyes.
"Hear that idiot? You're going to be cured soon, you'll be back to worrying and freaking out over nothing, inventing and planning revenge pranks again in no time… so don't you dare die yet"
"WAAH! It's snow! It really is a snow island! It's so white and fluffy!" Luffy grins in excitement.
"Don't forget Luffy! We're not here for fun this time! Were finding a doctor for Usopp and leaving immediately got it!" Sanji reminds him.
"Got it! Snow is great! It's so white and great!" Luffy waves him off, mumbling happily to himself causing Sanji to sigh in annoyance.
"Never mind he's not listening," Sanji says while Apis giggles in the background, excited at seeing an island covered in snow for the first time herself.
"WOW! Luffy just look at all those mountains!" Apis cries amazed at all the snowy mountain peaks.
"I KNOW! So much snow! I'm in heaven!" Luffy cries himself.
"Aren't you cold? It's only 14 degrees out!" Nami asks shivering just looking at Luffy.
"…."
"AH! It's cold!" Luffy suddenly exclaims shivering.
"Moron! Go inside and get your coat on before you freeze to death!" Nami shouts at him and Luffy disappears and reappears with his red coat on.
"Here looks like a good place to dock… okay, now that we're here who is going to look for a settlement and a doctor?" Nami asks everyone.
"I'll go! Zoro will too!" Luffy and Apis cry out excited.
"Guess I'll stay here then, someone has to watch the ship, though get some more food while you're at it, we're running low thanks to Luffy's black hole of a stomach!" Sanji says with a sigh annoyed.
"Stop right there, pirates!" A voice bellows out and looking up they spot a tall man with many villages surrounding him with guns and other weapons pointed at them menacingly.
"Hey, there's, people! Think one of them is a doctor?" Luffy asks.
"They don't look very friendly Luffy…" Apis worries.
"Turn your vessel around… and leave now!" the leader of the group says and everyone tenses.
"We came here to find a doctor!" Luffy yells out to him.
"Please, we have a sick person on board!" Vivi continues pleading.
"Don't try your tricks on us pirates! You can't fool us!" a villager calls out enraged.
"Yeah, this is our country! We will not let any pirate set foot here! Now raise your anchor and leave!" Another calls out just as angry.
"We only just met and they really don't like us huh? Guess it's what we get for being pirates and all" Sanji sighs.
BANG!
"DON'T TALK! LEAVE ALREADY!" a villager shouts.
"How dare you… HOW DARE YOU!" Sanji grits out enraged now.
"Sanji please don't!" Vivi pleads.
BANG!
"VIVI! WHY YOU!" Luffy yells moving to attack.
"Wait please stop Luffy! We can't fight! Don't worry about my wound! Usopp is more important! Luffy you're a failure as a captain! Impulsiveness doesn't solve anything!" Vivi pleads with Luffy making him pause before he grits his teeth and squares his shoulders.
"Alright! I was wrong! Forgive me! We won't set foot on your island but can you please send a doctor! Our sniper is very sick! Please help us!" Luffy pleads to the villagers bowing down low on the ground.
"PLEASE HELP OUR FRIEND!"
"…."
"…I will take you to my village come with me... but I should warn you… there is only one doctor on this island and she's a witch!" The leader says and everyone sighs in relief and grins before blinking at the last statement.
"Thank you very much!"
"See Luffy! He understood us!"
"Yeah… you sure are smart Vivi, thanks"
"No problem… now let's say we get Usopp someplace warmer eh?"
"Your right! I'll go and get Zoro!" Luffy grins before running off inside to get Zoro and Usopp.
"What was all the commotion Luffy?" Zoro asks spotting Luffy coming in.
"The islands people didn't like us, but it's okay now! Come on we're going to see a witch!" Luffy says grinning even wider than before.
"A witch?"
"A country without a name? I've never heard of such a thing!" Vivi exclaims shocked.
"Yes, we had some trouble a while back and our kind and his army left scared, so now we are a kingdom without a name or a king," Dolton says just as they reach the village.
"That's awful!" Nami says frowning.
"It's how it is, anyway this is my village Big Horn, you shall be staying in my house, please make yourselves at home," Dolton tells them waving the other villagers off.
"Please place your friend on the bed, I'll get the room warmed up, it's colder then usual today… I didn't introduce myself did I? I'm Dolton, the protector of this island, please forgive our earlier hostility" Dolton introduces himself.
"… May I ask you a question, young lady? I have a feeling I've seen you before?" Dolton questions Vivi.
"Y-you must be mistaken! Why don't you tell us more about this witch?" Vivi deflects the question.
"The witch huh? You see those mountains out the window?" Dolton asks, grabbing a thermometer.
"Those big mountains…? WOAH!" Nami screams at the giant head in the window.
"It's the Super snowman!"
"It's the dragon queen Rose!"
"CUT IT OUT YOU TWO! THIS IS SERIOUS!" Nami yells at both Apis and Luffy destroying their snowmen.
"AH! Sorry, Nami!"
"Um… well anyway those mountains are the drum rockies, see the castle on the highest peak? That's where the only doctor on the island, Dr, Kureha that people call the witch lives there, her skills as a doctor are indisputable but she's rather eccentric, she's nearly 140 years old" Dolton explains shocking everyone inside, even Tiny who has refused to budge from Usopp's side.
"Who cares how old the old bag is! Just call her down already!" Zoro says.
"I'd like to, but I'm afraid there is no way of contacting her, she only comes down the mountain when she feels like it, looks for patients, treats them and takes what she wants as payment and goes home again" Dolton sighs.
"How does a woman that old even get down the mountain?" Nami asks.
"It sounds strange, but they say on moonlit nights she rides down the mountain in a sleigh with her pet monster, it's why they call her a witch… she's the only doctor but we don't like to get involved with her if we can help it" Dolton tells them.
"I can understand if she acts like you say she does! I wouldn't want to see her either if she takes all my money as payment!" Nami huffs.
"Mm…. Hey Usopp! Usopp! Wake up!" Luffy calls shaking Usopp awake to which Tiny growls biting him, Luffy ignores him though, only stopping when Usopp lets out an almost silent groan.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" Zoro, Nami, Apis and Vivi shout at him but Luffy presses on.
"Ah! He's awake! Good! Hey, Usopp the only doctor is a witch who lives on top of a mountain! So were gonna climb it okay? You'll be better soon!" Luffy tells him.
"What are you thinking Luffy!? Do you see that mountain!? Even if you carried him on your back it will just make him worse!" Nami yells at him.
"How come? The quicker Usopp see's a doctor the better yeah?" Luffy asks confused.
"Yes, but do you see how tall and steep that mountain is!? Usopp could die before you even reach the peak!" Vivi exclaims.
"Luffy is right, Usopp can't wait for a doctor much longer, he'll die if we just sit around waiting for the witch to come down, I'll carry Usopp, Luffy, just make sure nothing gets in my way, I won't be able to fight with him on me in his condition" Zoro says and Luffy grins.
"Alright! Is that okay Usopp?" Luffy cheers before turning to Usopp who just weakly gives him a thumb's up.
"Atta boy Usopp! Leave everything to us! Zoro lets get moving!" Luffy grins and Zoro just smirks at them.
"Right behind you Cap'n," Zoro says gently placing Usopp on his back as Vivi ties him to him securely.
"Geez! You three are unbelievable! I've had it with all of you!" Nami yells after them.
"Zoro! Luffy! Come back safely! Okay!" Apis calls after them holding a struggling Tiny tightly.
"Tiny it's okay! Usopp will be better and back soon alright!" Luffy calls back and Tiny roars back worriedly.
"I won't stop you but please climb the mountain on the other side, there are Lapin's on this side, they are vicious flesh eating rabbits, if you encounter a pack of them it's certain death!" Dolton requests.
"Thanks for the warning but were in a hurry, Luffy will just kick their ass's if they try anything," Zoro says starting to run off.
"Yeah! No rabbit can beat me! See ya later guys! Dolton guy!" Luffy calls back running and keeping pace with Zoro.
"I do hope they will be alright," Dolton says watching the two get further away.
"Don't worry about those idiots, they will be just fine! It's Usopp I'm worried about" Nami sighs.
"Yes, though I'm sure he'll be fine… he has Zoro looking after him after all" Apis giggles out, earning a chuckle from all but Dolton who doesn't get it.
"Are you four coming inside?" Dolton asks moving to step back inside.
"Oh, that's alright I'll stay out here a while longer!" Vivi says waving Dolton away.
"Yeah, were going to wait for the others to come back!" Apis says holding a now limp Tiny in her arms tightly still so he doesn't get cold.
"Heh what they said!" Nami smiles.
"I see… then I suppose I'll keep you company… did you know this country used to have more than one doctor?" Dolton asks before beginning his tale.
"Did you know that people in snow countries don't sleep because they'll die if they do?" Luffy asks Zoro.
Grr
"Huh? That's stupid, of course, they sleep! They would die if they didn't!" Zoro disagrees.
Grrr
"It's true! I heard it a long time ago from someone!" Luffy argues back.
Grrrr
"Moron! If people in cold countries don't sleep why did Dolton have a bed in his house?"
GRR!
"Oh, your right! That must be his death bed!"
GRRR!
"Idiot of course it isn't!"
GRR!
"Is too!"
GRR!
"Is not!"
GRRR!
"Okay then did you know snow countries make excellent beer and vodka?" Zoro asks.
CRASH!
"No, how come?"
BREAK!
"Because it's so cold they need something to warm them up at night" Zoro explains.
GRRR!
"You know I never knew you were so stupid Zoro!"
GRR!
"You're calling me stupid!? Mines set in fact unlike your no sleep bull-crap!"
SNAP! GRR!
"It isn't bull-crap!"
GRR!
"Geez! Leave us alone already! What was that thing anyway?" Luffy huffs out annoyed, kicking the rabbit away.
"Must have been one of those Lapin's Dolton warned us about?" Zoro says.
"Oh! Well, it wasn't so tough, don't know what Dolton was so worried about!" Luffy grins.
"That was obviously just a baby! Well forget it, let's just deal with it again if it comes back" Zoro states not stopping his run up the snow covered mountain.
"It's really starting to snow huh? Don't worry Usopp we'll get you to that witch doctor soon!" Luffy says looking at the heavily growing snow around them.
"You think it's really a witch?" Zoro asks.
"Maybe! Think she has green skin and warts all over her?" Luffy asks snickering at the imagery.
"Who knows…. Ah, Luffy?" Zoro says stopping his run.
"Yeah?"
"I think we have a problem!" Zoro tells him staring at all the giant rabbits.
"They don't look like rabbits! Look more like polar bears to me!" Luffy says tilting his head.
"Che! We don't need this right now! Luffy you're going to have to fight them alone! I can't with Usopp on my back! He could die by all the rough movement in his condition!" Zoro growls out and Luffy nods.
"Got it! Leave it to me Zoro! Usopp!"
The Lapin hop to strike.
Tiny pouts sitting inside Dolton guys house, locked inside because he couldn't stand the cold as young as he is as a dragon, his human is sick, dying and he wants to be with him! It isn't fair he has to stay behind just because he is still so little!
If Tiny was bigger already and could fly then getting his human to the peak of that stupid mountain wouldn't even take a few minutes! Growling at the injustice of it all Tiny can't wait till his shedding day in a month to growing twice as large as he is now! He'll be able to fly then and protect himself a little than and his human! Instead of always having to be left behind in a building or the boat or protected by his human den mate and the others his human accepts as part of his flock.
When he is finally big enough to choose his growth path and his name for this life time he thinks he'll sway away from what the rest of his wind dragon flock have chosen for once, he'll join one of the other elemental paths of his divided brethren.
If only this once for his humans sake.
"WHAT! IT'S FLYING! SUGOI!" Luffy cries out, stars in his eyes while dodging the attack the bunny aims at him.
"Damn it! We don't have time for this!" Zoro growls dodging a fast claw swipe to his head.
"There sure is a lot of this rabbits!" Luffy says looking at the ever growing number of them showing up.
"These guys are well adapted to the snow huh? Given how these guys are moving… were at a big disadvantage right now with me not being able to fight!" Zoro says eyeing the Lapin's.
"Yeah… don't worry! I'll deal with these guys! Gum-Gum…Gatteling Gun!" Luffy grins before punching away the first row of attacking rabbits.
Kawooosh! BANG!
"Damn it Luffy! Be careful! Every move I make directly impacts Usopp! So careful where you're hitting! I can't dodge as well as normal!" Zoro yells after having to dodge a falling Lapin.
"AH! Right! Sorry!"
"Damn! They are now attacking all at once! Luffy! I'm running into the woods! Hold them off as long as you can and then quickly catch up with me! I won't be able to fight any that come after me!" Zoro yells running off.
"RIGHT! TAKE THIS! GUM-GUM PISTOL!"
Running as fast as he can Zoro growls as he continues to have to dodge a pawed claw, a kick or massive teeth while protecting Usopp to the best of his ability.
If these things lay a single hair on Usopp, Zoro will kill them and give them to the stupid love cook to roast for dinner!
"ZORO! Sorry, there's to many of them! But look we can get up the mountain that way!" Luffy yells out to him, running after them quickly and pointing to an outcropping of snow behind a row of trees just up ahead.
"I see it!"
Kicking and punching a few lapin's blocking the path ahead Luffy opens a path for them to run up, dodging a few wide swipes and chasing after Zoro who jumps off the body of a flying rabbit up to the outcropping of snow.
"Haah! What now?" Luffy asks when he joins Zoro up top, looking around at all the rabbits.
"I don't know… those guys are up to something!"
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
"…No, it can't be…. DAMNIT LUFFY RUN!"
"WHERE TO?"
"I DON'T CARE! JUST ANYWHERE BUT HERE! THOSE STUPID RABBITS ARE CAUSING AN AVALANCH!"
"WHAAAAT!?"
WHAM!!
"You know it's not nice to try and kill these fine people after they let my friends come on land to cure a friend of mine… right?" Sanji says to the goons who tried attacking the villager men on guard duty.
"As if I care what the likes of a lowly common fool like you thinks! I am no longer a pirate but a king once again!" Wapol grins, uncaring for his men who have had their skulls literally crushed underfoot.
"Y-you saved us! Thank you!" a villager thanks Sanji, helping another up and running away to get help.
"YOU ARE NO KING OF OURS WAPOL! YOU'RE DAYS OF TIRANNY ARE UP!" Another villager cries out enraged.
"Are they now? And who are you to stop me?" Wapol says just as one of his men fires in the villager's direction.
"Damn! Flanchel…Flayer!" Sanji grits out, kicking up snow and downing the man who fired at the villager dead via a crushed in ribcage to the heart.
"Get out of here! I'll deal with these assholes!" Sanji shouts at the villager and he runs off to join the others in getting help.
"Mmph! Pathetic weaklings! King Wapol let us deal with this thorn in your side!" A guy with fuzzy hair and boxing gloves says.
"Yes, we shall deal with him, you need not dirty you're royal hands to the likes of him" The clown from the other day quickly follows after.
"Then do it quickly! I refuse to let dissenters to my kingdom like those peons live!" Wapol says atop his bison.
"As if I'd let you clowns beat me!" Sanji scowls at the two before him sizing them up as his opponents just smirk at him, pissing him off.
"Heh! We'll see" the clown says smugly.
"Kuromarimo! Chess! Hurry it up! I'm hungry!" Wapol commands.
"Yes, you're highness!" Kuromarimo shouts out with a grin, beginning his move and Sanji tenses up.
"Just try it fuzz ball!" Sanji yells aiming a kick at the fuzz balls head.
"Heh! Eleki-Marimo!" Kuromarimo shouts out shooting black balls at Sanji's legs from his gloves.
"Agh! What is this crap!?" Sanji exclaims trying to kick it off.
"Chess-attack!" The clown shouts and Sanji Looks up in surprise jumping above the flaming arrows and gritting his teeth.
"So you dodged? I won't miss again!" Chess says firing off another round of rapid fire, fire arrow shots and its all Sanji can do to dodge in time with the sticky shit slowing him down.
"Bukkiri-Marimo!"
"Gah!"
WHOOSH!
"SHIT!" Sanji screams as the balls go up in flames along with his legs, he immedetly drops and rolls in the snow and jump back up just as quickly to block another blow from Fuzz ball and the stupid clown's rain of arrows.
"GWAHAHAHA! Kuromarimo! Chess! Deal with this disgusting fool! I'm hungry and shall be heading for Big Horn!" Wapol laughs making his way to the village with his men in tow.
"Oh no, you don't!" Sanji moves to stop them but the two he's fighting then move in the way to block him, causing him to grit his teeth.
"King Wapol is hungry! You won't ruin his meal!" Kuromarimo says grinning darkly and moves to attack again.
"Damn it! Mutton shot!"
"It won't work! A weakling such as you has no chance against us! Magistrate Kuromarimo!" Kuromarimo says dodging a kick.
"Correct! I am Chess the chief of staff to lord Wapol!" Chess says firing off another round.
"You know for a bunch of clowns your not very funny!" Sanji mocks rushing forwards towards Chess and landing a critical hit to his side, to which he goes flying into Kuromarimo and Sanji doesn't waste time and quickly runs over and performing a combo of kicks on them while their down.
"Collar! Epaul! Epaul Shoot! Selle! Poltrine, Poltrine Shoot! And Molton Shot!" Jumping high into the air Sanji first lands a devastating kick to Kuromarimo's neck before swiftly changing to land a harsh blow to Chess's left shoulder pushing both Chess and Kuromarimo under him even further into the ground forming a decent sized crater. Spinning into a handstand he lands the foot of his heels into a shoulder to each of his opponents with audible large snaps sweeping the air.
Landing back on his feet he kicks them over and with a small twist lands a fast spinning kick to Chess's back causing Kuromarimo to scream as he is kicked as well being directly under Chess. A sharp stabbing kick to the back of his chest causes ribs to break and with a high kick a little higher up his back the loud screams and cries over backs breaking rings out before Sanji dances a little away and landing multiple blows to his opponents bodies with his most powerful kicks, knocking his opponents out if not killing them as they give one last bellowing scream to the heavens.
"GWAAAAAAAH!"
"Fillet a fish served on a platter!…. AH! Damn! I let those other guys move on to the village! Karoo! Watch the ship! I've got to get to the girls right away!" Sanji calls to the frightened duck still on the ship before running off full speed towards Big Horn.
Wait for him Nami! Vivi! Apis! He's coming!
RUMBLE!
"Mm? Did you hear that Ro?" A scraggily dressed old man asks his pet wolf.
"Grr" The white wolf lets out a soft growl looking towards the entrance to her and her master's den.
"Yes, yes interesting! Must be those damn beasts causing a ruckus again! Damn bloody polar bears!" The old man grumbles.
"Grrr!"
"I know there rabbits fool! Leave me alone! Make you're self useful already and see if king Wapol's returned already why don't you!" He grumbles shaking a fist at the blasted mutt who just continues to growl at him.
"GRRRR!"
"GET! Otherwise no dinner for you!"
"Grrr!" The wolf does as ordered growling all the while with a malicious glint in her eyes towards that which she is forced to call master.
He will get his due… and she will be sure to eat him when that day comes by ripping him limb from bloody limb!
Along with that pathetic fawn of a reindeer!
Just you wait for her Chopper… she WILL have her revenge for what you had done to her!
"THERES NO WHERE TO RUN!" Zoro shouts out.
"WHAT ABOUT THAT LEDGE!?" Luffy asks pointing to a high ledge.
Zoro glances at it before shaking his head in the negative. "IT'S NOT HIGH ENOUGH! WE'LL BE CRUSHED BY THE SNOW!"
"THEN HOW ABOUT THIS!?" Luffy shouts ripping a tree from the ground, roots and all, grabbing Zoro and with a jump lands on the rapidly falling ocean of snow, surfing down the mountain.
"This is good and all but now where going down the mountain! We need to go up the mountain dumbass!" Zoro berates him.
"Well were not going to be buried in snow! It's better then nothing at least!" Luffy argues back.
Zoro is about to open his mouth to argue back when he's forced to dodge a swipe to the head again and his draw drops open, along with Luffy's as the rabbits join their surfing down the mountain.
"FOR FUCKS SAKE! LUFFY DEAL WITH THEM! I'LL STEER!" Zoro yells moving into a better position to steer the tree there on.
"AH! These guys are so annoying!" Luffy shouts in frustration punching a Lapin away into the falling snow watching it get swallowed up within seconds.
"What are these things so mad about anyway!" Luffy grumbles punching one and kicking another off their own tree/snow boards.
"Maybe it's because you kicked that baby one before!" Zoro sarcastically drawls and Luffy tenses with a complicated expression on his face.
"Damn it…. Usopp was right… I really… need to think more…! GUN-GUN GATTELING!" Luffy grits out before bellowing in rage and giving all he's got to attacking the rabbits.
Zoro says nothing to that, he agrees but he is pretty sure that's not exactly what Usopp necessarily meant when he said Luffy needed to think more but if it gets Luffy to smarten up then the crew is all the better for it.
"AHH! A rock Zoro! Up ahead!" Luffy shouts panicked.
"WHAT!? Damnit Luffy! Usopp can't handle a crash like that! Throw me!" Zoro yells and Luffy immediately does so before jumping after them as the avalanche comes to a stop moments later after their tree smashes to bits.
RMMMMMMBLEEEEEE!
"Hello, my loyal subjects! You're king has returned!" Wapol says mockingly as he and his men enter Big Horn.
"You are no ones king Wapol! Not any more! You gave that right up long before you ran away like cowards from the pirates!" A villager shouts out and Wapol gains a tick mark on his head.
"Men… Kill that wretch!" He commands and just as his men go to fire a loud crack rings the air and rifles go flying away which is quickly grabbed by the towns people who aim it back on the Wapol's men.
"Leave these people alone! I won't let you touch them! You phony king!" Apis calls swinging her whip again with a loud crack that distorts the air a glare in every inch on her expression.
"BWHAHAHA! Little girl dares stand up to me? King Wapol? How cute! But I'm afraid you're mistaken! I am no phony king! Men! Kill the brat as well!" Wapol orders and the men move to comply instantly and Apis tenses up since she doesn't think she can dodge or deflect all those bullets when she is still new to using her whip and none of the features Usopp installed could stop all of them!
BOOOOM! WHOOOSSHH!
"WAH!? EVERYONE OUT OF THE VILLAGE! IT'S AN AVALANCHE! IT WILL CRUSH US ALL!" a villager shouts as everyone scrambles.
"AH! OH NO! TINY IS STILL INSIDE!" Apis cries running towards Dolton's house, tripping as she does and just as she reaches the door the snow reaches the village and Apis has no choice but to slam the door behind her, grab Tiny tight against her chest and hope they don't get crushed to death.
KRAASH!
'Apis!'
"APIS!"
Zoro are you okay? What about Usopp?" Luffy asks worriedly after removing himself from where he had tucked himself tight against Usopps back to protect him from the falling sea of snow.
"I'm Fine… Usopp seems good for now but his breathing has picked up and his pulse is slowing down in an erratic pattern" Zoro says very worried for his sick friend.
"That's bad right? Then we've got to hurry! Come on let's go!" Luffy says and helping to resecure Usopp to Zoro's back they make there way quickly back up the mountain.
Skritch! Skritch! Grar!
"It's that baby rabbit again…" Zoro says spotting the rabbit trying to dig out a paw.
"It's my fault they attacked us to begin with…" Luffy mutters before pulling the mother rabbit free and moving off with Zoro again.
"You know they could come after us again" Zoro points out not looking back but straight ahead.
"I know and if they do I'll beat them up again… I hurt their baby first though so they attacked us, it's even now… besides Usopp would hate me if I didn't help the baby's mother yeah?" Luffy says with a soft smile and Zoro just grins back.
"He wouldn't hate you, god only knows if Usopp can hate anyone but he'd certainly get you back for it! Overly kind idiot that he is" Zoro chuckles and Luffy grins wider.
"Yeah! Usopp is amazing like that! It's why you like him right?" Luffy teases before running off too Zoro's beat red face and splutters of denile while laughing his ass off.
"LUFFY GET BACK HERE! I'LL KILL YOU!"
"SHISHISHISHI! NO WAY!"
CHOMP! PTWEEEHHH!
"Damn…. DAMN IT! IT MUST HAVE BEEN THOSE BLASTED STRAW-HATS THAT SET AN AVALANCHE ON ME! I'LL KILL THEM FOR THAT!" Wapol shouts after eating and spitting out a pile of snow and his mount.
WHAM!
"GAH!"
"If anyone is killing anyone…. It's me killing you for daring to point a gun at a lady!" Sanji growls before landing another kick to Wapols head sending him back down into the snow with a bang.
"Especially when that lady happens to be my crewmate!" Sanji scoffs with a menacing scowl and after ensuring he's down for the count for now runs off to the house buried in the snow he had seen Apis run into.
"I came as soon as I heard! Is everyone all right!? Where is Wapol!?" Dolton exclaims running into town minutes later.
"A little late for lunch, aren't you? That Wapol guy is out over there, but for now, come help me out won't you? my crewmates are buried in you're house" Sanji says from where he and a few others are helping him to dig Tiny and Apis out.
"Ah… I see! Yes!" Dolton says in surprise, while giving orders for the villagers to tie Wapol up in chains, which they do so immediately.
With Dolton joining in his Bison form digging goes much quicker and Apis and Tiny are out in no time.
"Apis! Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?" Sanji asks looking Apis over thoroughly as Apis tears up before grabbing Sanji in a hug.
"Wah! Sanji I was so scared! I hate being trapped!" Apis cries tears running down her eyes in rivers and Sanji gently wipes them away and shushing her gently.
"It's alright Apis, it's alright, I'm here now and I won't let anything harm you or Tiny alright…" he sooths her rubbing her light brown hair and back gently as Apis starts to calm down from Sanji's reassurance and Tiny's soft coos.
"(S-Sniff!) Sorry about that! I don't like being confined in small spaces with no where to get out... it reminds me of when I was taken by those stupid marines…" Apis says wiping her eyes roughly and Sanji smiles.
"It's alright Apis and never apologize for being scared or shedding tears, it's perfectly normal to do so but don't you worry! So long as I'm here I won't let anyone or thing make you cry again if I can help it" Sanji tells her gently and Apis grins.
"I'll leave it up to you then Sanji! Thanks!"
"Roar!" Tiny chips in making Apis laugh.
"What did he say?" Sanji asks curious.
"He said, as long as I'm here, no stupid human male with no mate prospects need to protect my den mate!" Apis repeats giggling and Sanji gains a tick mark on his forehead and a menacing glare directed at the little lizard who just glares right back.
"Why you little bite sized snack! I'll show you a male with no mate prospects!"
"Roar!"
"HAHAHAHA! HE SAID BITE ME UGLY SNAIL!"
"UGLY SNAIL!? WHY YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
'Ro, got orders did you?' a crow asks spotting the white wolf from his perch.
'As if I would leave my warm den without one Quin' Ro growls out at the irritating bird.
'Well! No need to get snippy! Are you sure you're a wolf and not a cat?' Quin mocks only to earn snapping teeth and a loud growl in answer causing him to squake and fly to a higher branch in fright.
'Watch what you say bird brain! Or I'll take you for a mid-day snack!' she growls stalking away towards the shore before stopping at seeing two strange humans walking nearby with another on ones back towards Wapols castle and the witch's and that bloody deer's current den.
'Moody little mutt! Can't you take a simple joke! The nerve!' Quin squarks out at her and Ro glares at him.
'Shut it idiot! Who are those humans?' Ro asks and Quin looks over to the humans near by.
'They are pirates looking for the old witch doctor to cure the one on the moss heads back, they are currently wanted by Wapol and his men who are back by the way… not that it matters since Wapol and them have been taken care off already by the pirates crew mate, some blond cook' Quin explains in detail, the islands resident animal gossip proud of his information network and being the first in the know.
'...really? How interesting…. I think I will pay these humans a quick visit' Ro says grinning and running off towards the three humans steadily moving forwards.
'Ah! Ro wait a damn second those pirates are~~!' Ro doesn't listen to the bird brains words, she can sense the power wafting off those humans in waves except for the sick one but even he has hidden untapped potential.
Ro is nothing if not a hound tracking after the scent of blood on the ground and power is seductive to any wolf.
Let's see just how good these humans are!
Grrr!
"Huh? A wolf? Cool" Zoro says when the biggest wolf he has ever seen jumps out growling at them, a massive scar across it's right eye and almost invisible against the white backdrop with it's white coat.
"Ignore it! We already dealt with the Lapin's I don't want to mess with a wolf now too!" Luffy almost whines and they quickly move off gaining an even larger growl for it.
SNAP!
"WOAH! Luffy I think we've pissed the wolf off! Lets run for it!" Zoro says dodging a snap aimed at Usopp's back.
"Not again! We don't have time for this!" Luffy all but growls out running after Zoro quickly, he'd fight the wolf but they already wasted enough time with the rabbits.
WHAAAM! WHAM!
"Wah!? The Lapin's again?" Zoro says shocked as the giant white wolf is barely pushed back slightly by two Lapin's punching it back before jumping back themselves from a snap of razer sharp jaws.
"They are helping us since we helped them… THANKS, LAPIN'S! WE'RE EVEN NOW!" Luffy grins running off besides Zoro, starting to see exactly why Usopp would go out of his way to help even his enemies.
He can't do what Usopp does though and as far as Luffy is concerned that makes Usopp an amazing one of a kind person! He could never go out of his way to help an enemy after he just beat them especially when they have hurt his friends and he hates them, the lapins were different since they weren't really enemies and only attacked because he didn't think before kicking away that baby first.
So Luffy is really glad he got Usopp to join his crew! To be unknowingly become the heart of his crew because he is just so kind and thoughtful and unjudging! That's why they got to get him to the witch doctor right away so Usopp can continue to be kind! To be amazing and more importantly his friend and they can continue to have lots of adventures together!
Firming his resolve, even more, Luffy picks up his pace with Zoro doing the same.
They won't let the heart of their crew die!
"D-damn it's steep! I can't even see the top!" Zoro mutters shivering slightly.
"Yeah… Zoro I think I should carry Usopp from here, if we fall I can protect him better since my body is made of rubber" Luffy says looking at the seemingly never, ending mountain. Zoro frowns slightly but nods since it's a good idea.
"Alright, but be careful! I'll tie him to you tight so don't you dare fall! I'll be right behind you okay to catch you but still… don't" Zoro warns him and Luffy nods firmly before they start their long and arduous journey upwards.
"Doctor the antibodies are working now"
"Good! Do you know what made this man sick?"
"A Iridokanas (made up obviously) tick, otherwise known as the 4 day death tick and a ruptured tumour in the throat which compromised his immune system, even with the traces of strong tropical anti-bodies we found in his blood stream"
"Correct! I'm dealing with the others, you deal with him and operate on his throat, I'll check you're work afterwards"
"Yes, doctor!"
Opening his eyes groggily, Usopp ends up staring at a rough brick ceiling feeling like he was hit in the head with a chair, silently groaning at the headache in his head and testing his strength he slowly looks around before startling slightly at Chopper staring at him intently behind… well not really behind since he is the wrong way at him from the doorway with a scared look in his eye that isn't in proportion with normal human aversion confusing him immensely.
He just as swiftly dismisses it though since he has much too gigantic a migraine to think of anything more complicated then what's for dinner and even that's a stretch.
Waving his arm slightly at Chopper, he tilts his head as the reindeer runs from the room before he can even finish the first wave.
"Kekeke! Forgive him, he's just a little nervous!" an old women laughs walking inside with a look in her eye saying she knows something he doesn't and while miffed at that he ignores it as the lady shoves her finger to his exposed neck.
"100,65f! Not bad! You're fever is going down at least! I'm Kureha! But call me Doctor! Everybody does! Kekeke! Not that you can talk right now!" She says laughing and Usopp places a hand to his throat, surprised to find it bandaged tightly before his hand is slapped away harshly.
"Don't touch that! You don't want to rip you're stitches and bleed to death do you? My assistant went to a lot of trouble fixing up your throat for you! You will be speaking again within the month!" Kureha says before suddenly moving much to close to him and lifting up his shirt a little to expose an insect bite that Usopp figured was the case for his illness.
"You were bit by a Iridokanas Tick, uncommon but found in remote tropical islands, it''s known as the 4 day death tick, given how far your Illness had progressed I'm guessing you were bite 3 days ago… if you hadn't of gotten to me when you did you would have kicked the bucket for sure! Kekeke!" She informs him and Usopp pales at that information, that's a day less than the keschia insect that had bitten Nami in the original timeline!
"Luckily for you, I make sure to have medicine off all sorts in stock even living in a cold region! Anyway, stay in bed your treatment isn't complete! Treatment normally takes 20 days with a strict medicine regime the first 10, due to your compromised immune system from that throat of yours it will take at least 30 to 40, so enjoy you're stay! KEKEKE!" She informs him expecting all the questions he could think to ask and Usopp's eyes bug out at the news.
That's much longer then Nami's estimated treatment time! Before Usopp could even think of a response or way to protest –not that it would work the witch is very scary- Chopper comes barging in with Luffy and Zoro right behind him.
"HELP ME!" Chopper screams.
"WAIT FOR ME DEER MEAT!" Luffy cries hanging on to Chopper for deer life as he runs out another door. (pun was intended! Usopp will not apologize!)
"IM STARVING! AND USOPP COULD USE WITH SOME GOOD GRUB!" Zoro shouts right behind them.
"KEKEKE! Well, they're certainly energetic! It's amazing their up and about already!" That's because they are idiots doctor, Pure and simple idiotic people.
"I'M NOT FOOD! LEAVE ME ALONE FIENDS!" Chopper bellows changing into his human form of his devil fruit and punching the idiotic duo in the head and running off again.
"Heh! That's Chopper! He ate the human-human fruit so can do anything a person can, he was also the one to treat you since I've taught him all my medical skills!" Kureha tells him and Usopp blinks amused.
It's amusing how despite how things change so many things stay the same.
Even in the many timelines of the multiverse.
