Chapter 4

The next morning

"Good morning Tomtom, have you eaten breakfast?"

"Mao~"

"You havn't ? Sanji-kun made some buns, would you want some?"

"Mao~"

"Haha true, you would need a truck full of buns to fill up. "

"Mao~"

"Okay you get your breakfast. Will you be able to find me back?"

"Mao~~"

"Sorry, I forgot your nose is the best of all Seakings. Be back soon okay?"

With that Tomtom left. Xylia turned around and saw Zoro leaning on the mast while staring at her.

"What?"

"I don't trust you."

"Why should you?"

A little bit taken aback, Zoro grip his sword and point it at Xylia. "If I find you do anything fishy my katana will sever your head from your neck."

"Heh you can try but you will never win."

This is how Chopper found them, in a staring competition to the death.

"Ano…ano….Xylia-chan"

Without breaking the stare, Xylia answered Chopper "Yes Chopper-kun?"

"Lunch is ready. Zoro you coming?"

Before he can answer, a huge shadow loom over them.

"Tomtom! How is breakfast?" Her smile froze on her face when she saw Tomtom. "Oh my god! What is the matter?"

"Mmmaaoooo"

"Your tummy hurt? What did you ate?"

"Maoooo"

"A clam?"

"Maoooooo"

With a wave of her hand, Xylia froze a mast piece of the sea. "Climb on top of it Tomtom, I check your tummy."

"Maoo" moan Tomtom while trying to climb the ice with its four paws.

"Wait for me Xylia. I am a doctor. I can help."

"Let's go then." With that Xylia jump on Tomtom with Chopper in her arms. Zoro look at them from Sunny, determine if Xylia do anything stupid he will chop her and the stupid cat-like Seaking into half.

"There is something in its tummy. You see that big lump poking out?"

"Yes. So should we cut it open and take it out or take it out from the inside?"

"I have not sure if I can sew such a big cut. Tomtom might die from blood lost."

"How about this, after we take it out, I freeze the wound and unfreeze it little by little when you sew it back?"

"Good idea!"

"Sorry Tomtom this will hurt."

"Mao~~~"

"Quick take it outttt errr errr errr" the moment Chopper touch the lump, he felt dizziness and fainted.

From Sunny, Zoro saw Chopper turn a few rounds and collapse. "That women!" he growl under his breath as he jump towards them all three swords ready.

Xylia notice Zoro closing in with a murderous aura but she choose to ignore it and continue to take the lump that is the size of an elephant out.

"Urgh! This damn rock is heavy!"

Clang!

Zoro quickly withdraw his sword from the rock and strike again. This damn girl is as fast as a rabbit! Cursed Zoro as all his blow missed.

What the hell is his problem? Cursed Xylia too as she avoid all the attacks nimbly.

"MAOOOOO!"

Shit! I don't have time for this! Tomtom will die if this continue. With that Xylia stop running away and concentrate on pushing the rock from Tomtom's wound.

Zoro is surprised that she stopped but he didn't stop attacking and his sword finally make contact with her body.

"Argh!" Scream Xylia in pain when the sword pierce into her back. She barely manage to avoid getting cut in the vital point. Even though it hurts like hell, Xylia didn't stop pushing and the big boulder finally start to move.

"Zoro! What are you doing?"

Zoro turn his head to see Chopper that collapse a few moment before staring at him in horror. He don't seems to be hurt anywhere but then not all fatal wounds are big. Zoro turn back and was about to land another strike but was stop by Chopper.

"Zoro! What are you doing?"

"She attacked you! I saw you fainted from Sunny."

"No she didn't! I fainted because I touched this lumppppp errr errrrrrrr errrrr" with that Chopper fainted again.

"Huh? This rock is a Kairoseki?"

"Stop mumbling there and help me PUSH!"

Thud

Hold on Xylia! You cant faint now. Shit my eyes are getting blurry. Did I missed?

Suddenly somebody grip her hand and seems to help her aim. "Now shoot."

The blast of ice quickly stop Tomtom's bleeding.

"You can rest now." Someone whisper in her ears.

Wondering who is, Xylia fell unconscious.
