"Just thirty minuets Nami thats all. Then you can come out and I'll apply the ointment and you can go..." Chopper sighed.
"Ya but salt just makes injuries worse! Its just going to mess me up even more!" Nami half yelled at him from the other side of the door.
"The salt will eat at the wounds, yes, but it will also eat at all the tiny splinters that I wasn't able to get out." He snorted. Will she just get in already? And how many times have I had to explain this to her?
"Fine." Nami huffed letting up on the door. "How are the others doing?" She asked as she slowly began to pull at the torn cloth that stuck to her skin with sweat and blood.
"None of them are that badly injured... I'd say Sanji is the worst. Hell, hes gonna be stuck in a wheelchair for quite some time." Chopper rubbed his temples still stressed from dealing with the four breaks in the cook's legs.
Nami pulled at the finale piece of clothing that clung to her, and walked over to the steaming bath. "How about Zoro?"
"Zoro? Hes still out... I think he got hit with twenty to many trank. darts. He should be fine. But it does look like he got malled."
"Malled? like by a lion or tiger?" She hissed under her breath as she slipped herself into the warm salted watter.
"Ya. but what I'm more curious about was right before the fight. We saw that all his previous injuries were practically healed... Any way," his voice lifting, "I'll come back here when the thirty minutes is up. So just sit tight until then."
"Kay." Nami let herself sink into the water and relax.
...
Cold. That was all he could feel. He didn't want any part of it. But he would need to learn to live with it if he was going to work with the dragon.
How much longer?
Three more packets. Don't smell your breath after this. Its repulsive.
Well DUH. YOUR DRINKING THE POUCHES OF SPARE BLOOD. Thats frikking disgusting!
I am aware. Fresh blood has so much more appeal.
Your going to need to stay in control for a while, if you don't I'm just gonna puke it all back up.
I thought as much...you do know...that my brother and sister are not evil...
No I wouldn't know. We were all taught that the three of you were warlords with no regard to what happened around you. So long as you were appeased the three of you would leave the humans alone.
I see. Thats a shame. Humans have so much potential, but whenever something arises that you cannot understand you dismiss it as evil and ruthless.
Why did you bring that up in the first place?
Because earlier, my brother, called to me. He was in pain, and trying to bring that girl back to her right mind.
WHAT? So your saying that the Manticore is inside of Concepcion?
...yes...
How do we deal with that?
Even I am uncertain upon that.
The door flew open and an enraged heavy point Chopper stalked in to the room. "Found you! What were you thinking! Do you wanna die Zoro?"
Shit. They both thought simultaneously.
