I woke up and felt extremely hot. It felt almost like I was on fire but I didn't have the strength to do anything. I couldn't even open my eyes I was so exhausted. I tried to move in any way possible but I couldn't do anything. I felt like I was sleeping but I could hear and feel everything around me as time keeps on continuing without me. I wonder if I am dying, I wouldn't be surprised because of the emptiness that I feel. But I knew it wasn't possible because I could still feel everything around me.
I couldn't move yet but I couldn't go back to sleep either. I felt really weird but I kept on trying to at least open my eyes. They felt like they were glued shut from how heavy they felt. I then suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm and I flinched. I could feel someone snake their hand into my and squeeze. I could feel my body cool down just a bit and felt just the slightest bit of energy come back. I tried to open my eyes again and succeeded. The blinding light hit me and I opened them further to see Chopper, Luffy, and Nami in the room. You could see the rest of the crew outside in the hallway waiting for me I guess. I looked over and saw Nami with tears in her eyes and Luffy looked stricken with worry. Chopper was working with his medicines and looked worried as well. I let the corners of my mouth lift up just a bit to form a weak smile and reassured them I was alright.
"Hey Crystal…how are you…feeling?" Nami asked sniffling in between her words
"…I'm…f-fine," I said weakly and smiled before I started to have a coughing fit. It lasted a minute or so but when I looked at my hand it had blood on it. I looked over at Chopper and he came running over. He looked at my palm and gasped before giving me a checkup. When he finished he started to mix stuff together and talk to Nami.
"Nami we have to leave as soon as possible or else Crystal will die. How long will that take?" He never looked up from his mixing.
"The earliest we can leave is afternoon, and by then we can head to the next island," Nami said with her voice shaky.
"Okay, we can make it in time. Also what season is the next island?" Chopper asked as he poured the medicine in a glass of water.
"From the locals they say it's a spring but that's only one of them remember…they say to take to take the safest path out of the three and we should make it there," Nami said checking her log pose that had three needles in it.
"Ok, Crystal can survive in that weather but we have to be prepared for the next summer island," Chopper said as the whole crew came in. hey all stood around and either stood or sat on the ground.
"What can we do Chopper? Do we just lock her up in the freezer?" Usopp suggested and I chuckled but that caused me to cough. After I calmed down I smiled.
"I would actually like that…hehehe that would feel nice," I said imagining the present I'm gonna make for them.
"But you can't just stay in there forever, we need to figure out how to keep you cool from the heat on the summer islands," Chopper said thinking.
"Can I just stay in there please…and can we make my room a giant freezer? Can Franky do that?" I asked feeling dizzy even though I was lying down.
"OWWW, I can do that for ya sis!" Franky said from the corner of the room and I smiled.
"I would appreciate that very much, but for now can you place me in the freezer and I would be fine with that. I can just eat the ice in there to help me stay cold," I said.
"Well you can for now but I'm gonna give you some medicine right now so I hope you don't mind," Chopper said holding a needle and I just shook my head no.
Chopper stuck the needle in my arm and injected the medicine. I flinched but let chopper finish, when he was done he let me go and everybody else went on to their regular business. Sanji helped me up to the freezer and sat me down in the middle. I asked him if he could bring me my staff and he did. When he got back he closed the freezer door but he stayed in with me. He sat down across from me and just stared.
"What is it Sanji?" I asked after a minute of awkward silence.
"Nothing just looking at your ears," He said and I wiggled them for his amazement.
"Hahaha, that's cute Crystal-swan," He cooed.
"Thanks, well ima get to work," I said before I realized what I said.
"Work on what?"
"Ummm…can you keep a secret?" I asked shyly.
"Of course I won't tell a soul," He said placing a hand on his heart.
"Well I'm making a present for the whole crew and it's going to be…" I explained my whole plan to him and he looked surprised.
"You're going to make that?" Sanji said smiling.
"Yea, I thought it would look nice and the trio would really love it. Well the trio being Luffy, Usopp and Chopper," I said laughing.
"Yea I'm sure they would love it," He said as he looked around, "So where is this block of ice?"
"Oh, I hid it so no one would find it and question it," I said taking out the ice and placed it between us.
"Wow, its purple ice," He said amazed and I just chuckled.
"Yes because it will never melt as long as I am alive, and maybe even after I die," I said holding the block in my hand. I sat with my staff across my lap and my ice in my hand. Sanji just observed and I focused on making the gift. I had concentrated on the ice for hours and Sanji just watched and never said a word. I could feel the ice slowly forming around my hands and I had to change my hand position at times to keep on working. At lunch time Sanji left to make food for everyone and then brought me a plate of cold food. I thanked him and kept on working. It was now night time and I just have one last detail to do and I'll be done. That is until Luffy comes barging in and I hid the gift behind my back.
"Luffy GET OUT YOU SHIT HEAD OF A CAPTAIN!" Sanji yelled and kicked Luffy out. He then slammed the door closed, I flinched and he apologized.
"I'm fine but I'm going to finish this last detail, you go make dinner and I'll be out to present the gift in a minute," I said putting the gift back into my lap.
"Ok Crystal-swan, I'll be waiting for the gift!" Sanji said before he left to go make dinner.
I sighed and finished the gift and decided to encase it in a box of opaque ice that wouldn't affect the gift in anyway. I levitated it with my wind behind my back and walked out of the freezer and into the kitchen. I stood there until everyone noticed me and screamed, "CRYSTAL!" I just smiled and waved.
"Hi guys, I have something for all of you," I said making the box float in front of me.
"You got us a block of ice?" Usopp asked.
"No it's inside the box of ice, if you touch the box then it will fade away and show you the real present," I said placing the box on the dinner table.
"Can I open it?!" Luffy asked jumping up and down in his chair.
"If everyone says it's ok," I said placing the box in front of him. He grinned and looked around, nobody said otherwise so Luffy put both hands on the bottom of the ice block. The ice started to fade away into nothing towards the top of the block. The gift was slowly being revealed and everyone was being impatient but I just wanted to see their reactions on the finished product.
When the ice cleared everyone stared in amazement. The gift was a replica of the Thousand Sunny, with every detail you could ever put on the Sunny. I also put the crew doing what they usually did all around the ship on there for some decoration. The sculpture looked almost too real but it was beautiful. I was really happy on what I made and everyone was thanking me and was saying that I had a lot of talent for these things.
"Hey Crystal, you should do one of me!" Luffy said pointing at himself.
"No, do me instead while I pose on a dead sea monster I slayed back when…" Usopp rambled on.
"Luffy I wouldn't mind but how about when we get back onto a winter island," I said sitting down at the table to chat with the crew.
"YAY! Thanks Crystal!" Luffy said before digging into the plate of meat he still had.
"You're welcome Luffy," I said chuckling. I soon headed off to bed as the crew started to depart from the island. I was glad I was leaving but I still want to enjoy islands with everyone even if they are summer islands. I will train and be able to take the heat without being hot, by using my cold wind and frost to surround me at all times to keep me cold. It will take some time but I will get stronger!
