Reluctant Surgeon;

Ricky, Zoro, Usopp, Johnny, and Yosaku were on their way to Arlong Park. Ricky and Usopp were currently attempting to tend to the big bloody problem they'd been presented with. What's the problem you ask? Zoro had a wound on his chest the size of Alaska.
"Thread?" Ricky called out.
"Thread," Usopp repeated as he handed over the required item.
"Needle?" Ricky requested.
"Needle," Usopp answered as he held out the needle.
"Bandages?" Ricky asked.
"Bandages," Usopp gave him a long length of bandages.
"Anesthetic?" Ricky ordered.
"What?" Usopp questioned.
"Gimme that hammer," Ricky instructed.
"Wait! Hold on!" Zoro protested. "What's the hammer for?"
WHOMP! Ricky took the hammer and clocked Zoro on the forehead, "Anesthetic," Ricky repeated as he stood over the now unconscious swordsman.
"Don't you think that was a bit drastic?" Yosaku asked.
"I don't know, I've never done this before," Ricky admitted. "But I think it'll work better if he isn't awake. Usopp give me his katana."
"So you think giving him a concussion is better?" Usopp questioned.
"He can clearly withstand it," Ricky pointed out as he motioned to Zoro's huge non-fatal wound.
Usopp handed over the familiar sword with the white handle and sheath. SLISH! Ricky drew the sword and cut Zoro's shirt opened, revealed the bleeding x-shaped wound Zoro had gotten from the World's Greatest Swordsman.
"Well... 'Hawk Eye' Mihawk certainly leaves a mess," Ricky remarked.
"So… much… blood…" Usopp gasped. FWUMP!
"He fainted, great," Ricky muttered. "Hey, one of you two get over here and hold Zoro still while I try stitching him up."
"Is Brother Zoro gonna be okay, Brother Ricky?" Johnny asked as he and Yosaku rushed over.
"WHOA!" Yosaku shouted, "I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN THAT MUCH BLOOD!" FWUMP!
"Great, he's useless," Ricky grumbled as the Bounty Hunter joined Usopp on the floor.
"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Johnny questioned in a panic.
"I'm about to perform surgery," Ricky answered. "Hold on, if they're both down there unconscious and you're over here… who's driving?"
"HOLY CRAP! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT HIPPO!" Johnny screamed.
Ricky turned and stared up at the enormous sea-cow that was towering over their tiny boat. "I… think it's a cow," Ricky corrected him. "Damn it. Hold the thing off while I attempt to stitch up Zoro."
"Right!" Johnny agreed as he charged the sea-cow, "PREPARE YOURSELF HIPPO!"
"MOOOO!" WHAM! THUD! Johnny came crashing back down into the boat.
"Almost… got him…" the bounty hunter groaned before passing out.
"Now he's out… great," said Ricky. "I'm alone on a boat, performing surgery with only half an idea of what I'm doing, there's no one driving, and a sea monster is right in front of me." Ricky glared at the sea cow, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?"
"Moo?" said Mohmoo the sea-cow.
"Go away or I'll be eating sea-steak for the next two days!" Ricky threatened.
"MOOOOO!" The threat did the opposite of what he had planned and the sea cow got angry and got ready to attack.
Ricky grabbed the hammer that he had knocked out Zoro with and walked to meet the giant sea monster that was in front of the boat. "Hammer… VOLCANO!" Ricky leapt up out of the boat and spun around in circles swinging the hammer around him as he went, WHOMP! Ricky connected with the side of the sea cow's head. SPLASH! THUD! The sea-cow went crashing down into the water while Ricky landed in the boat.
"Giant sized anesthetic," Ricky commented, "Not bad." He walked back over to Zoro and proceeded to do a rather poor job at stitching up the huge sword wound on Zoro's chest. "Screw the musician… the next thing we get on this crew had better be a doctor. I don't care if it's an evil assassin, a cyborg, a skeleton, or even a damn reindeer… I am not doing this crap on a regular basis."

The anime and manga never seemed to mention how Zoro's wound from Mihawk got healed. He just appeared at Arlong Park with his shirt made of bandages and everyone just assumes they dealt with it on the way. I thought it would be funny to see how that scene would play out.
'Till Next Time…
Peace!
