Guest: What the hell is going on, how does smoker know puffy and why does puffy shout jimba
M: Please look at the summary or at chapter one.
robertastarcris11: I just hope luffy has not gotten the Gold D disease. Roger, because that would change everything. Luffy can not die like that for a disease, too. And keep updating please, I love your story.
M: Yes, I do not want Luffy to have that disease too xD
And with a shoutout, lemme thank this wonderful person!
BREAKING NEWS: before yall start critizizing the author on how luffy shouldn't be this op or all knowing, lets just say that luffy as a pirate king is 10 times stronger than a yonko, surely he must have gotten up his iq over the course of life.
NOw yall be like, little luffy can't beat doffy, well gess what, doffy a dofus, and luffy a baby gorilla who got god tier haki, who do you think is gonna win? some no haki doffy, or some godlike haki level, know that haki is the will and does not depend alot on physical attribute, if it did, kaido might as well have the strongest haki.
I love this wonderful person xD Thank you for the wonderful review, you wonderful person! And also another person who also made my day:
Fishandskygirl: Hey kid, I dunno if you are still publishing but I can tell one thing : you are really good! I read a lot of fanfiction and yours is a really good one. Obviously you are going to do some error but you are young you got the whole life to improve. Personally I found your way of writing refreshing and I wasn't really lost but that's me . Keep up the good work, and let me tell you you are one of the few that I keep in my tabs so ... good luck
Thanks everyone! Things have been pretty hectic for me, I feel tired and I went two days straight in a row drinking coffee jelly in night.

Last time on Chapter 46…
"We must not let your flag of pride be tarnished either…!" Dorry…
"Trust in us and sail straight ahead! No matter what happens, sail only straight ahead!" Brogy…
"What're they…" Before Zoro could continue, Luffy cuts him off.
"Sail straight ahead!" Luffy shouts with a serious face. 'That's right… This measly disease won't stop me, I have to be strong and sail towards Raftel with my nakama safe!'
"Farewell." Dorry says as the Going Merry passed them. "Let us meet again," Brogy continues with his ax raised. "One day in the future."
"LOOK!" Nami shouts as there was surprise and disbelief on her face as she was pointing straight ahead. "UP AHEAD!"
The sea started raising up as it reveals a long yet large goldfish-like dorsal fins."In the name of Elbaf," Brogy pauses as he makes a serious face. "We vow to clear a path!"
Luffy coughs, blood going out as he turns pale. Thankfully, everyone is still focused on the Island Eater, an enormous fish, rivaling the size of even the most massive of Sea Kings. It resembled a typical white-red colored goldfish, with protruding eye sockets and a wide mouth that had a set of large teeth.
"WHAT IS THAT THING!?"
"IS IT A SEA KING!?"
"GRAB THE HELM OR WE'RE GOING OT BE SWALLOWED ALIVE!" Nami shouts in panic while looking at Usopp, who's gripping the railings tightly and is murmuring some things. "USOPP! HURRY!" Carue quacks, almost as if he was saying the same thing.
"I… I won't!" Usopp shouts back, even if he was shaking, his determination stays still. "WE'LL BE GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD!" Luffy immediately hid the blood that he kept coughing since he knew what's going to happen next. "R-RIGHT LUFFY?"
"Yup, you bet!" Luffy chirps, hiding the intense pain that keeps getting stronger each second.
"Don't be ridiculous! This is completely different than getting swallowed by Laboon!" Nami argues, shouting at Luffy, who winced at the volume.
"Yeah, yeah, just pipe down already." Luffy internally punched his own self for unconsciously making it somehow cold, like his former persona. "Here, I'll even give you the last senbei."
"I DON'T NEED ANY SENBEI!" Nami pauses, an angry expression all over her face. IF WE DON'T TURN AROUND THIS SHIP AROUND THIS INSTANT, WE'LL-"
"Nami," Zoro starts while leaning on the wall, his arms crossed and eyes shadowed. "Give it up already.
Carue immediately goes inside, his faith in living going down like a falling anvil. "MMNGHH!" Nami munches the senbei Luffy gave her, causing her words to sound incoherent.
"LUFFY! YOU SURE THOSE GIANTS ARE TRUST-WORTHY, RIGHT?" Sanji shouts, sweat forming on his face.
Luffy coughs, "Yeah!" He immediately coughs more secretly when Sanji turned his head somewhere else.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Vivi shouts in disbelief, pointing at the Island Eater. "WE'RE REALLY GOING STRAIGHT INTO THAT MONSTER!?"
"OH NO!" Nami shouts, taking everyone's attention to her except Luffy. "IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING NOW!"
While some were shouting, one of Luffy's knee fell towards the ground, his hands gripping on the railing tightly while the other one is for his mouth to cover the blood, even though it's already leaking. "Damn kestia and their goddamn virus…" With that, he falls unconscious.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"… What…?" Luffy jolts up, rubbing her forehead. "What-" It's here once again, the nightmare he wanted so much to avoid. "This is a dream…" Luffy says to himself, panicking slowly.
The disembodied bodies, the blood all over his body, the fires. God help him if he wouldn't be able to become sane the moment he wakes up.
Like a mantra, he keeps murmuring that it's a dream and closes his eyes tight. Like there was someone pulling him, he walks towards Akainu. That damned dog…
"You weak pirates shouldn't even live." Akainu traps him, the magma going down and slowly going down to his body. "Evil has no place in this world."
"GO DIE YOU DAMN DO-" Like someone covered his mouth, he can't make any noises. He suddenly falls down deeper on the ground. Suddenly, whiteness covered the whole place while he sat up once again. "A dream… Wake up already, you fool!" Saying to himself, the place suddenly looks like Marineford. "No-!"
He can see himself crying and shouting pathetically, his brother's body on the ground. Luffy closes his eyes shut, gripping unto his hair tightly. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"
"Thank you…" Luffy's eyes go wide and suddenly sees Ace on his shoulder, he looks at his hands once again, blood. "… For loving me!" With the fall, he shakes uncontrollably and tears falling with no stop.
"It's a dream…" Luffy sniffs, looking at Ace's smile. "A dream…" He covers his face with his bloodied hands, trying to cover the tears. "ACE!" Shouting Ace's name, again and again, the last words of Ace kept repeating in his thoughts. Blackness covered him, only left him and Ace's body. "I'm sorry…"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
With a gasp, Luffy jolts up and an incredible pain invites him. "Luffy! You're finally awake!" Nami shouts, happiness surging through her as she clasped her hands with Luffy's.
"Don't move too much, Luffy-nii! You have an extremely high fever, just lay down!" Vivi says in worry, softly placing her hands in Luffy's chest to let Luffy fall on the soft bed.
"'Tch, having women around you worrying, that's cheating you shitty Strawhat!" Sanji shouts, making Luffy wince.
"Sanji…" Nami warns with a smile, making Sanji gulp in nervousness.
Luffy touches his face to see tears on his hand. "You've been thrashing around and crying." Vivi says while leaning on the wall, his arms crossed once again. "You were also shouting 'Ace' and other names."
"I'm sorry." Luffy says as his eyes were shadowed. "For seeing me in this pathetic and weak state…" All of them looks at Luffy with a frown on their face.
"Luffy-nii…" Vivi softly says while Luffy coughs horribly, causing them to panic.
"I-It's alright…" Luffy forces a smile before becoming into a coughing mess once again.
"It's not alright!" Nami says before arranging the blanket. "Just don't talk and sleep! This sickness of yours is really high so it must be painful, right?!" Nami pauses as everyone nods in agreement.
"I won't talk, but I also won't sleep-" Before everyone could open their mouth, Luffy cuts them off. "Since I'm anemic and I would have nightmares." Luffy just laughs a little before closing his eyes, but his panting and coughing still don't stop.
Usopp looks at Vivi, "So, do you know how this happened?"
"It must be from the climate change…" Vivi pauses as sweat falls down from her forehead. "The one obstacle that all sailors who enter Grand Line will crash into sooner or later," Vivi frowns, a serious expression on her face. "Is sickness caused by the abnormal climate…!" Quietness engulfed the whole room, the tension getting bigger and bigger. "No matter how famous or strong of a pirate you are, helplessly dying at the hands of such illnesses is a common occurrence here in Grand Line. Even the slightest symptoms can lead to death if ignored." Vivi turns her head to the others, "Isn't there anyone on this ship with some medical knowledge?"
Everyone points at Nami, who got surprised. "Hey, I may know some medical knowledge, but this kind of symptoms and intensity is something I don't know. It's out of my league! But I'll still try to figure it out."
"B-But this is Luffy, right? I'm sure he'll get better with meat, right?!" Usopp spluttered while looking at everyone, facepalming at him.
"That's Luffy's logic, Usopp." Sanji deadpanned before looking back at Luffy. "Well, I obviously plan on giving him nutritious meals that are enough to digest even for a sick person but…" Sanji looks down, almost looking frustrated. "Even all that only goes so far as to be called nursing…" Sanji puffs out smoke, unconsciously placing his hand at his head and ruffle his hair. "It may not actually cure him." Sanji turns to Usopp, "And in the first place, when it comes to preparing meals for Nami-swan and Vivi-chan, I put 100 times more effort than for the rest of you lot. I only use the freshest meats and vegetables to cook a perfectly balanced meal for them." He lazily points at Usopp. "The leftover scraps and ingredients on the verge of spoiling are then given to you…"
"WHAT?!"
"In any case, as long as I'm the chef on this ship, there won't be related to malnutrition or such." Sanji pauses, looking at Luffy once again. "So if someone is still sick, then that's because of a completely different illness. And unless I know what that is, I won't know what type of meal to prepare would be best either."
"F-FORTY EIGHT DEGREES!?" Vivi shouts in disbelief as she looks at Luffy in worry. "His fever rose again!"
"There should be doctors in Alabasta, right?" Usopp pauses, "Just how much longer until we get there, Vivi?"
"… I don't know but it'll definitely be more than a week!" Vivi shouts in frustration while placing her hand on the bed.
"Is being sick really that painful?" Usopp asks while looking towards Sanji.
"Dunno, can't say I've ever been sick myself." Sanji says while tilting his head and his arms crossed.
"ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN HUMAN!?" Vivi and Nami shout while looking at Sanji and Usopp with disbelief. "OF COURSE IT'S PAINFUL! A 48 DEGREE FEVER ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS! In fact, it's enough to even put her life at a very serious risk!"
While the others were talking, Luffy groaned a little and coughs. 'What Nami had experienced is really painful.' Luffy thought as he looks at everyone with a smile, 'She must have been through a lot…'
"WE HAVE TO GO FIND A DOCTOR AND SAVE LUFFY RIGHT AWAY!" Usopp shouts while looking at Luffy with worry.
"Yes, I know so just calm down or you might aggravate her condition further!" Vivi says while Nami punches Sanji and Carue to shut them up.
"…No." Luffy says and took everyone's attention. He gets up, coughing.
"Luffy-nii! You can't-" Before Vivi could continue, Luffy scrunches his eyes and it immediately told everyone that he was serious about his answer.
"Nami… You know why, right?" Luffy looks at Nami, who frowned and just looked away. "The newspaper on top of your desk…"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
While Zoro was sitting on top of the railing with a huge dumbbell in one hand, he dozes off for a second before shaking his head and continues. "Luffy… You…" Zoro pauses, looking at the sky. "What are you hiding…?"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"WHA-!?" Vivi's eyes widen in shock as she holds the newspaper tightly, sweat was also falling down from her forehead.
"What is it?" Usopp asks while looking at Vivi, who stayed in her place.
"Is it about Alabasta, Vivi-chan!?" Sanji asks while he stayed in his place, waiting for an answer from a stunned Vivi.
"That can't be…" Vivi let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. "300,000 soldiers of the Royal Armed Forces switched sides to join the rebels!?" Vivi pauses, "Originally, the 600 thousand-strong Royal Armed Forces could contain the rebels who were only 400,000 strong..."
"But now the situation is completely opposite, isn't it?" Luffy weakly says as he looks at everyone.
"With that, the situation in Alabasta has entered its most critical phase…" Nami says bitterly as she looks down. She knows it, and no matter how many times she could think of a way to help, it was futile.
"And that was the paper from 3 days ago." Luffy breathed out, a solemn look on his face. "We have no more time to worry about me, I'll get better soo-"
"How can you get better with a serious fever as that?!" Vivi shouts as she soon calms down when she saw Luffy wince a little. "Luffy-nii..."
Everything suddenly went quiet, a heavy atmosphere surrounding the room. No one talked, things were too out of hand.
"Don't worry…" Luffy says as he grins at them, "That old thermometer's broken anyway." Luffy stands up, making everyone worry. "There's no way a person would have a fever of 48 degrees." Before Luffy would go out, he turns his head to them with a grin. "Besides, I'm Luffy! There's nothing to worry about!"
As he left and closed the door, everyone was still quiet. After a while, Nami coughs. "Sorry for not showing you the paper…." Nami pauses, a frown still on her face. "I didn't want to worry you any further since we were already sailing as fast as we could."
Vivi shakes her head and looks at Nami, "No, it's alright…" 'At this rate, there'll be a full-blown war with much bloodshed.' She looks at the newspaper with a horrified face like before. "If I can't stop this, then it's all over for the Kingdom of Alabasta…! It'll be taken over by Crocodile!" Vivi sits on the bed, hiding her distressed face by covering it with the newspaper. "It's not good enough to just return alive anymore…! If I can't get back soon enough, then a million of my people will be killing each other for no good reason…!"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"WHAT WERE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT!" Nami shouts at Zoro, who kept a poker face. It has been a while and she thought to look what was happening outside, only to find themselves in a wrong direction.
"What do you mean what? The ship's still heading straight."
"Yes, but you need to be looking at the log's needle!"
"I can still tell the direction just fine since we're heading for that big cloud over there…"
"CLOUDS CAN MOVE AND CHANGE SHAPE, YOU KNOW!" Nami snaps before she searches for any sign of Luffy. "And where did Luffy go?"
Zoro looks at her, "He went to his room." Zoro looks straight once again, a frown on his face yet Nami decided to ignore it.
Nami, with her amazing senses, immediately senses the change of atmosphere. "The atmosphere changed…"
"Huh?" Zoro looks at her, a look that says 'what-are-you-saying?' "The weather's been clear all day."
Nami groans and slaps the back of Zoro's head. "Just call everyone here, will you?"
"That's hurt, you witch!"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Hey, all of you! We've got work to do, come out!" Everyone immediately goes out except Vivi. "Take the helm and steer for south."
Sanji sighs, "What, I don't feel like taking orders from you."
"Just shut up and do it! Lower the sails so we can catch wind from portside." Zoro says as he looks at Usopp, who didn't need to look at him to know.
"Got it!" Usopp says while Zoro follows him, intending to help Usopp.
After Sanji finishes, Nami strides toward him. "Sanji, I have a request-"
"What is it, Nami-swan?!" Sanji says as he starts doing the noodle dance with hearts in his eyes.
"Can you come with me to look at Luffy? I have a bad feeling…" Nami says as Sanji immediately agrees. "Zoro! I have a feeling that there's going to be a strong wind, it's coming from ahead."
"Got that!" Zoro shouts as he immediately looks straight ahead, ready to warn others if problems come.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
While Sanji and Nami walk towards Luffy's room, none of them talked. The place seems so dark and eery, they would question how a bright person like Luffy can handle the place.
As they reach Luffy's door, Nami knocks. "Luffy…?" They could see even inside was dark. After a while of no answers, Sanji becomes worried and kicks the door, breaking it.
Both of them didn't care about the damage they caused, they were worried (Though Sanji doesn't show it) Nami turns the light on and the two of them were suddenly struck both in amazement and surprise as they look at Luffy's room.
Everything was clean. There were a lot of bookshelves and Nami can see it was thoroughly arranged. What really amazed them is that in a long horizontal shelf they found on a wall that is supported by glass have many Log Poses inside and the other half with a Log Pose-like watch that is also a lot.
Everything amazed the two. "Wait…!" Nami suddenly shouts, taking them out of their trance. "This isn't the time to be amazed! Where's Luffy?!" Suddenly, the two found themselves looking everywhere.
Nami opens the door to Luffy's bathroom and gasps in shock, getting Sanji's attention. "Have you found something, Nami-swan?!" Sanji soon widens his eyes in shock.
Luffy was laying on the ground, blood on his hand and another one that seems to come out in his mouth. Without a word, Sanji carries Luffy bride-style and stumbles a little, saying something about 'Fucking huge and fucking heavy people'.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
After Sanji and name placed Luffy back on the girl's cabin where it would be safer (and less eery), they came back outside to see what was going on.
'I have to,' Vivi folds the newspaper, 'Return as soon as possible…' She goes out, leaving the newspaper behind.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"I have a request to ask all of you." Vivi says after going out. Everyone stays quiet and looks at her. "I know that it's not my place to make such demands since you've already let me on this boat and all…" Vivi pauses, looking down at the ground. "But with this emerging crisis in my country, I want to go there as soon as possible." She looks at them with a determined face. "Not even a single moment can be spared anymore! That's why, I ask this ship to head for Alabasta, at the fastest speed!"
Zoro's sure one of his veins snapped in anger, 'WHAT!?' He kept his solemn face on, but he still held onto hope that he was wrong.
Even Sanji went quiet, everyone did. "… Thus, we need to find an island with a doctor immediately." Zoro makes a small smile, happy that what he thought was completely different. "We have to see to it that Luffy-nii gets better as fast as possible, and then head for Alabasta!" Vivi pauses, a smile plastered on her face. "That'll be the only way this ship can sail at the fastest speed, right!?"
Usopp raises his eyebrow while looking at Vivi. "You sure? Aren't you worried about the lives of a million Alabastans, being a princess and all?"
"Exactly!" Vivi pauses as she looks at Usopp. "That's why we need to get Luffy-nii to a doctor as quickly as possible."
"Well said, Vivi-chan!" Sanji says as he lightly grins. "I've fallen for you all over again!" Zoro only huffs and wears a slight smirk.
Suddenly, the skies became dark and the waves got stronger. "AHHH! WHAT IS THAAAT!?" Usopp shouted as he shakily pointed at the front. Everyone looks, only to find a cyclone and panics.
"It's… IT'S A CYCLONE!"
"IT'S HUUUGE!"
Vivi widens her eyes, realizing something. "Wait a minute… That direction is…"
"That's exactly where we were headed just until a moment ago…" Sanji says as he looked at the cyclone in surprise.
"If we had sailed straight, we'd have crashed right into it by now!" Usopp yells in fear. "Talk about a close call!"
'Incredible… A cyclone on the Grand Line's said to be impossible to predict…!' Vivi thought before looking at Nami in amazement. 'This girl isn't just predicting the weather, based on weather forecast theories… It's almost as if she's directly feeling the minute happenings of the climate itself…' "I've never seen such a navigator…"
"ALRIGHT, LET'S HURRY IT UP GUYS!"
"WE'LL KEEP HEADING SOUTH TO FIND A DOCTOR!"
"RIGHT!"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Ignoring the needle pointing to Alabasta, the ship is now on the lookout for a doctor…
After 1 day…
"Luffy-nii's fever isn't going down…" Viv says with a downcast expression. Meanwhile, Zoro was in the crow's nest.
"Hey!" Zoro paused, "Uhhh, guys… Do you think a person could… Stand on top of an ocean…?"
A/N: You guys, want me to make a one-shot?
