I do not own One Piece.
This is in Sanji's P.O.V.
We split into groups; Nami with Luffy and Brook, Robin with Zoro and Chopper with me, as Franky stayed on the ship to guard it and do some last minute repairs. We entered the town and went in different directions, wanting to cover the city as quickly as possible.
We walk around until the sun begins to set. We asked everyone that we came across and no one had any useful information. Some people said that they saw him enter some stores the day before yesterday. Starting to feel slightly annoyed, we make our way towards the restaurant we had decided to have lunch at. Looking around, I notice that we are the first to arrive, with a sigh we take a seat at an empty table big enough to fit everyone. Putting my head in my hands, I lose myself in thought.
Where could Usopp possibly be? He wouldn't just run off. He wouldn't possibly leave just leave the crew... or me, would he? He had to have a reason. A really good reason...Unless something actually did happen to him and they just wanted to make it seem like he left on his own. But there was never a time he was left alone on the ship, there was always someone on the deck on watch, and if they had tried to take him during the cover of the night, they would have woken at least one of us up, if not by taking Usopp, than at least when they were emptying his locker. But assuming that all did happen, with any of us waking up, then there is still the question as to why they would want to take Usopp. I just can't make any sense of any of this.
Letting out another sigh I look up just in time to see the rest of the crew take their seats. We all place our orders and sit in silence for a few moments.
"We may have found something," Nami says, breaking the silence. We all turn to stare at her, waiting for her to continue. "I stopped at a doctor's office, the doctor was out on a house call, but I got to talk to one of the nurses. She said, though she couldn't give any details, that someone matching Usopp's description, had been in there the day we docked as well as the day before yesterday. She refused to tell me anything else, no matter what I said, but I figure, if we can find the doctor, he might be more willing to tell us something." she finished with a smile. I find myself smiling slightly, along with the rest of the crew, save Zoro of course, it wasn't much to go on, but at least it was something.
"Do...do you think he is hurt?" Chopper suddenly asks, looking close to tears. I turn to face him sharply. I was so happy to have heard that we might have a lead, that I didn't even think about the fact that he was a doctor who had seen him, twice since we landed on the island.
"I'm sure he is fine Chopper. He probably just got some embarrassing injury or something that he didn't want us to know about," Nami comforts with a laugh, not sounding too sure of herself. But it seems to appease Chopper, as he nods his head and wipes his face. We all eat quickly, in a tense silence, wanting to go looking for the doctor as quickly as possible.
After we finished eating, and paying for the mountain of food, Nami leads the way to the doctor's office. We walk in and make our way towards the nurse sitting at the front desk.
"Excuse me Miss. But I was wondering if I could talk to the doctor," Robin says politely. The nurse looks up at us, letting out a sigh when she notices Nami before nodding her head and going through the door behind her with a quick 'One minute, please.' After a few seconds, a, slightly older, man walks out, smiling at us tensely.
"I hear you have some questions about one of my recent patient. But I am sorry to say, that I cannot reveal anything that happened or was discussed." He says as soon as he closed the door firmly behind him. I grind my teeth into my, unlit, cigarette and start to step forward, only to be stopped by Robin.
"We understand that. But Usopp is very important to all of us, and he seems to have gone missing. We are not asking you to tell us why he was here, we just want to find out where he is." The doctor lets out a harsh sigh, running his hand through his hair.
"Honestly, I wish I could help you find him. But he didn't tell me where he was going, or how he was getting there. He just said he was leaving the island, and that he already had everything worked out," he replies tiredly. We say our thanks and begin to walk out of the office. I suddenly feel a hand grab my arm before I can walk through the door. Letting the door swing shut, I turn to face the anxious doctor.
"When you do find him, don't be angry with him. He is doing what he thinks is best, but right now he really needs people that care about him. That will stick by him no matter what." I nod slightly, once again, thanking the doctor and leaving the building.
