Chrisfragger: This whole "He can't sleep" thing is stupid... Everyone has to sleep... Even Gaara would have had to sleep. The human body NEEDS sleep, otherwise you lose your mind after a while. Nightmares or no.
M: Luffy sleeps, only just for a while. He sleeps less than 6 hours, he knows that he also needs to sleep. Though he sleeps rarely, but does naps 20-30 minutes.
Also, you guys decide. Place my One Piece one-shot here or on wattpad?

Last time on Chapter 47…
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…?"
As the snows blow violently and cover the skies in white and the blue sea's waves go back and forth, Usopp looks at Zoro in disbelief. "Can a person stand on top of an ocean?" Usopp repeats what Zoro said and frowns. "The heck are you asking, Zoro?"
Zoro looks once again using the binocular, huffing due to the coldness and the snow resting on his head and shoulder. "Then…" Zoro pauses, "How do you explain THAT?"
"What?" Usopp finally turns back, a warm blanket encasing his figure. He looks for a minute before finally seeing what Zoro saw, and in front of them too, close to them too.
A man who is a bit taller than average, water waving and splashing yet stood straight as if he was on land. He has wavy lips and a sad expression. He wears a checkered jester-like green-blue costume with purple lining at the end of the sleeves, a white winter cape with purple lining, that he ties against his chest, and grey buttons, with a light brown bow and a bag of arrows on his back. He has dark green pants, and blue shoes with white buckles.
The three just looked at each other until the man talked and said, "Quite cold today, isn't it?" Usopp just sweatdropped and looks at him.
"Y-yeah, for real. It's freezing today." Usopp hesitated, a frown and look of doubt on his face.
"Is that so?" The man replied, his sad expression still there.
"RAISE THE SHIP!"
"INCREASING BUOYANCY!"
A large round ship erupted on top of the strange man and the water went up along with it. The Going Merry raised up along with the water, causing it to go upwards. Usopp shouts in fear as he went flying straight down.
Meanwhile, with Nami and the others, as it shook violently, Sanji automatically raises and grips the bed where Luffy laid. "WHAT'S ALL THIS SHAKING!?" Vivi shouts as she stumbles.
"HEY! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO OUR CAPTAIN, I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR IT!" Sanji unconsciously shouted and seemed like he didn't even know that it came out of his mouth. Though, he tried his best to keep the bed still using his foot.
"Is this thing…" Zoro looks at the large object that seemed to go up the ocean. "Even a ship…!?"
What came out was a large round ship, different than most regular ships. Along with the ship's hippotamus/White Walkie figurehead, one of the ship's unique features is the large steel plating around the ship, with a star like pattern. Two large gears are seen towards the side of the ship.
"MAHAHAHAHAHA!" A voice resounded loudly, "SURPRISED!?" The person pauses, their Jolly Roger depicts a skull with a round, metallic jaw licking its own lips and wearing a large crown, as well as the standard crossbones located behind it. "HAS MY SUBMERSIBLE AMBUSH-SHIP 'TIN CAN KING' LEFT YOU SPEECHLESS!?"
"Oh crap!" Usopp steps back, a cold sweat falling down from his body furiously. "A PIRATE SHIP!?"
"Why now of all times…!?" Zoro grits his teeth as he thinks of Luffy. His captain is dying and they do it now?

"Ace's vivre card…"
.
Pick them, Luffy.
.
"LUFFY!" … What? Ace…?
.
See what happens?
.
"THEY GOT ACE!" … Why…?
.
See what you've done? Weakling?
.
"…! I'm sorry…" What…? Ace, what are you saying…!? "Luffy…"
.
"Listen, Luffy." Don't die again… Ace!
.
"Thank you… For loving me!"
.
Of course, this happened once again. It's been too many times… Yet he can't still get over it.
.
Because he was a weakling.
.
"What are you even fighting for?"
.
"My nakama-"
.
"- are Dead."
.
"You're shattered, Strawhat."
"Luffy-nii!" Luffy's eyes suddenly opened, hearing Vivi's worried voice.
"… What happened…?" Luffy asks with a frown, a strong headache currently making him suffer. It was a good thing that his nightmare was short… even if he slept for a long time.
"Something's happening outside." Nami pauses, a smile on her face. "Don't worry, Luffy, they're taking care of it right now. So just rest, okay?"
Luffy only returns the smile sits up, immediately feeling a surge of intense pain. "I'm going to check-"
"No." Vivi sternly but shortly replies. With narrowed eyes, she crosses her arms. "Do you not believe in them?"
"I believe in them, Vivi." Luffy replies as he grins, placing his feet on the ground. "That's why, as the captain, I want to be there when they win or lose." Luffy stands up, his feet slightly wobbling. "Being alone is more painful than getting hurt, Vivi."
Leaving Vivi alone, he goes up, along with his straw hat that he wore after standing up.

"We wish to head for Drum Kingdom." Wapol says as he fully eats a sword he held just a while ago with no worries. On the other hand, Usopp was petrified at what was just revealed to them. "Do you happen to have an eternal pose or even a log pose on you?"
Wapol is an overweight man with an unusual appearance. He has dark violet hair and a cylinder-shaped jaw made up of tin plates, hence his epithet. He wears a dress in tin-plate armor and a hooded cape made from White Walkie skin. He was also wearing brown thick gloves. He spotted a pair of purple and orange woolen shorts and a brown belt around his waist and a pair of thick short boots.
"No…" Sanji crosses his arms, a bored look on his face. "And we've never even heard of that place before…"
"Well, if you don't have it, then I might as well take all your treasures and your ship instead." Wapol nonchalantly says as he holds the Merry Going's side.
"What!?" Usopp shouts in fear and worry as his hands were up in the air.
"But hol-" Before Wapol could continue, they immediately sense something. A threatening one.
"Why don't you eat your own ship than ours? Wapol." Luffy says as he suddenly appears. It's a miracle that he could still bring out a tiny bit of his haki, but it made him a little weak.
'Luffy! What the hell are you doing here!?' Sanji and Zoro chorused on their thoughts as they looked at Luffy both in worry and anger, anger due to Luffy's stubbornness.
Wapol's bored look turned into anger. Remembering how he was belittled by him a long time ago. Even if it was years and Luffy's form changed, he still can't forget how he was looked down by him. "YOU!"
"Yes me, the one and only." Luffy sarcastically says as he resisted to roll his eyes. He held his panting and stayed strong, just so that Wapol wouldn't notice how he was in pain.
"ATTACK!" Wapol shouts as he points at Luffy, immediately making the soldiers go towards him. Of course, Luffy's nakama immediately acted.
While the others fought, Luffy goes out of the scene and leans on the mast. Finally closing his eyes and pants, not trying to hold it anymore.
Suddenly, the door bangs, revealing Vivi who incredible looked worried. "Oh hey, Vivi-chan." Sanji nonchalantly greets her while Vivi ignored him and looked at Luffy.
"Luffy-nii!" Vivi immediately rushes towards Luffy, "Nami-san told you to rest didn't she!? Why are you so stubborn!?"
"I'm… Alright… Just…" Before Luffy could go towards Wapol and beat the hell out of him, Zoro already knocked the man out flying.
"Rest, stupid." Zoro says as all eyes of his nakama were now on him, stern ones. Luffy had no choice but to sigh and just let them do whatever they want.
"Go get crazy." Luffy says with a tired grin before being led down by Vivi. He lightly shakes his head, 'And here I thought I'm the only person that's protective…'

Ignoring every nightmare he encountered, he wakes up. In the middle of the night. Groggily opening his eyes, he's surprised to see everyone sleeping at the room, except Sanji who is in duty. "Damn… I'm one extra lucky guy…" He laughs lightly before going to sleep once again, not minding the nightmares anymore.
Not when he knows all his nakama is there for him.

"Hold on a moment…" Usopp pauses, immediately thinking of the worst. "Is that island gonna be safe? If there's snow, couldn't there be snow monsters or something!?" Usopp pales, his sweat immediately working even if it's cold. "There might not be any humans living on it!"
Ignoring Usopp, Sanji gets surprised by the gigantic mountain in front. "Wow… Just what are those mountains...!"
"If Luffy was here, he might ignore the coldness and just get amazed by so much snow on it!" Oops, wrong move. Everyone suddenly feels down, already thinking of what happens when Luffy wasn't sick.
"Stupid!" Sanji immediately kicks Usopp's head, an angry look on his face. "Look what you've done to Nami-swan and Vivi-chan! They look so down!"
Ignoring Sanji and Usopp who was bickering on the background, Vivi and Zoro look at the waterfall. "A meltwater waterfall…" Vivi pauses, gripping on the ship's railing. "We should be able to dock our ship around here."
"So…? Who's going to go look for a doctor?" Zoro asks as he crosses his arms, looking at everyone. "Actually… I guess we should start by seeing if there are even any people."
"I'll go." Sanji says as he pauses, "It's not like I care for the shitty Strawhat, it's just that it seems like no one wants to even try."
Zoro only laughs internally at Sanji's poor excuse. "Yes, go forth, my comrades!" Usopp proudly says in the background, his arms crossed.
Suddenly, people gathered on the sides of the land, guns on their hands. "Stop right there, pirates!"
"Hey, there're people." Zoro says nonchalantly as he ignores the guns, leaning on the railing.
"Uhh… Judging from the mood, this doesn't look so good…" Usopp says as he frowns.
An imposing man, with slicked black hair and a goatee, seems to be the leader. He wears a long, white fur-lined green tunic and has armor plates on his arms; these plates are retained on his forelegs when assuming his full-bison form. He covers his head with a green and white fur-lined hat, equipped with ear-flaps and wears long boots.
"You will turn around immediately, and leave this island at once." The imposing man says with a frown, looking at them cautiously.
"Wait! We've come here for a doctor!" Vivi shouts as she grips on the railing, "We have a sick person on board!"
"THOSE LIES WON'T WORK ON US, PIRATE SCUM!" The people shouted back, frowns and distrust on their faces. "THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE WON'T LET NO STINKING PIRATES RUN AMOK ON IT!" They shouted, a fiercer and commanding tone on their voices. "NOW PULL YOUR ANCHOR BACK UP AND BEAT IT! OR ELSE WE'LL MAKE YOU LEAVE!"
"Whoo…" Sanji takes out his cigarette, a frown on his face. "Talk about a bad first impression…"
"DON'T TALK BACK AT US!" The people shouted angrily, firing a bullet on Sanji's foot, which what he dodged.
"THEY OPENED FIRE!" Usopp shouted as Zoro immediately half-way unsheathes his katana, while Sanji fully glares at them in anger.
"Now you've done it…" Sanji says threateningly as he looks at the person who shot at him. The said person flinched and clicked his gun. "WHY YOU…!"
When he was about to attack, Vivi stops him. "SANJI, NO!"
As the person shot a bullet at them once again, Vivi, unfortunately, caught the bullet and got grazed in the arm. Sanji looks back, his eyes wide.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Sanji shouted in anger as the people fully pointed guns at them.
"PREPARE TO SHOOT!"
As Sanji and the others got ready to fight, Vivi stops Sanji by the waist. "No, wait! This isn't a problem you can solve by fighting!" She pauses, "You don't have to worry about me, the bullet only grazed my arm!" Once they stopped, Vivi and Nami bowed down to them, both saying: "WE BEG OF YOU! WE PROMISE NOT TO SET FOOT ON YOUR COUNTRY… SO COULD YOU PLEASE JUST CALL OVER A DOCTOR!? OUR NAKAMA IS GRAVELY ILL AND IN MUCH PAIN! PLEASE HELP HIM!"
Nami closes her eyes, a frown on her beautiful face. "We only ask for a doctor, please save our friend."
Every each of them was surprised. For a pirate to bow down… "… We'll lead you to our town." The leader pauses. "Follow me." With a sigh of relief, Nami and Vivi look at each other in happiness. "Let me give you one warning before-hand… There's only one doctor in our country…" The leader turns, "And she happens to be a witch."
With a dramatic pause of Luffy's nakama, "Wha?"
