Hearing a panicked voice, Kuro opened his bleary eyes.
Vivi was shaking him like crazy, "Luffy and the others are in danger, they need your help!"
Kuro grabbed his head.
He hated drinking alcohol, "Calm down, I'm sure Usopp got it all under control."
"No he doesn't!" Vivi shark teethed.
In the jungle, Usopp was running for his life as Miss Valentine flew after him.
Explosions rang from behind Usopp as Mr. 5 threw boogers at him.
"Yeah, he's probably got it all under control," Kuro nodded.
"Help them," Vivi huffed and puffed.
Kuro held up his hand in defeat, "Alright chill princess."
Kuro got up and Vivi followed after him.
Kuro looked somewhere with a smile, "Wait for me, Merry."
"What was that?" Vivi scrunched.
Kuro waved his hand, "Ah, just speaking with a fellow crew mate."
Vivi looked around and saw no one, "Do you have mental issues?"
Kuro dropped to the ground and laughed, "Good one but my other crewmates need saving right? Lead the way, princess."
Vivi suddenly realized and started leading the way.
Suddenly Vivi realized something, "Hey don't call me princess."
Kuro took in the amazing sight of vegetation and dinosaurs, "sure, what's your name."
"Vivi," Vivi huffed.
"You looked very tired Vivi," Kuro followed at a leisurely pace, "Just so you know, I refuse to carry you."
Vivi seemed offended at the thought of being carried and needing to be carried, "Agghhhh keep your mouth shut!"
Kuro laughed and followed after her.
As for why Kuro didn't want to carry her, it was because of a rule he held for himself.
It's better to be carried by others than carry others, pro gamer rule 5.
Pro gamer rule 1, it's not just a game bro.
Pro gamer rule 2, never...
The two came upon the scene of the troubled strawhats.
Kuro yelled out loud, "Let's get ready to rumble!"
Kuro took out two gongs and started banging them together like a monkey.
Vivi yelled with confusion and anger, "What are you doing!?"
"Being a distraction," Kuro laughed.
Three strawhats crewmates stuck in candle wax yelled at Kuro.
"Get us out of here," Kuina huffed.
"Stop being weird," Nami shark teethed.
"Keep at it Kuro," Zoro grinned.
"Oi Kuro, you're awake," Luffy smiled as he took a moment of a break from fighting Mr. 3.
"Thanks for the distraction," Usopp yelled with a grin and set a rope he wrapped around the giant candle structure on fire.
"How dare you burn my masterpiece!" Mr. 3 yelled with anger and chased after Usopp.
Luffy didn't let him and Bazooka him right in the face.
The candle melted and the three strawhats became free.
Kuina and Nami knocked Kuro on the head.
Sanji showed up and got knocked in the head by both Kuina and Nami.
"What are you doing Kuro?" Luffy stared at Kuro briefly.
"Watching the man cook!" Kuro replied whiling staring at Sanji cooking intently.
Sanji said nothing as he remained calm and kept cooking.
Luffy turned to watch Sanji cook but he soon got bored, "That seems boring although delicious."
Kuro wanted to slam his head against the wall, has Luffy never seen some Gordon Ramsay cook?
The answer was no but still.
Kuro suddenly seemed to thought of something.
He went close to Luffy and whispered, "Steal the salt shaker without Sanji noticing."
Luffy didn't know why Kuro would ask that but he silently snuck up upon the salt shaker and stole it.
He turned to Kuro with the salt shaker, "Now what?"
Kuro smiled evilly, "Now we wait."
A while later Sanji suddenly needed the salt shaker but couldn't find it.
He was absolutely sure he left it where it was.
He turned to the two people who had been staring at him, "Have you two seen where the salt shaker went?"
"No," Kuro replied bluntly.
Luffy lips went away from his face, "Salt shaker? I don't know what you're talking about."
Sanji stared at Luffy suspiciously,
He turned to Kuro who was just smiling at him and he knew both of them were suspicious.
"Kuro," Sanji calmly spoke.
Kuro continued smiling and stayed stone face.
Sanji sigh, "I guess the food won't taste too good without the salt."
"It was Luffy," Kuro yelled.
"It was Kuro," Luffy panic yelled.
Sanji knew he got them now.
Kuro pointed at Luffy's hand, "Look he's got the salt shaker."
Luffy turned to his hand and his eyes popped out, "Ehhhhhh!?" How could the salt shaker be in his hand,
Immediately, Sanji took back the salt shaker and kicked both Luffy and Kuro away.
Luffy rubbed his head looking at the laughing Kuro with disatisfication, "You tricked me Kuro."
Kuro kept laughing, "Sorry Cap, I just wanted to hear Sanji say where is the salt shaker?"
"Why?" Sanji and Luffy questioned.
Kuro waved his hand, "You wouldn't get it."
"Explain!" Luffy curiously ordered.
"Kuro, Nami is sick!" Usopp cried and got everyone's attention.
Kuro looked at Usopp strangely, "What am I, a doctor? It's not like we're all going to die to the weather without Nami's weather skill."
Suddenly Kuro realized something, "Oh, shit."
Usopp too realized what Kuro realized and started shaking, "Save Nami!"
The two rushed into a room where they could see the sick Nami.
The rest of the crew followed in with worry.
Nami looked at the crew tiredly with a tick, "I told you not to tell them Usopp."
Kuro looked at Usopp with genuine approval, "Good job for telling us."
Kuina went up worriedly to Nami and touched her forehead, "You don't seem ok, let's get you to bed so you feel better."
Nami was about to wave it off, "It's ok I'll be.." Nami suddenly fell on Kuina with extreme dizziness.
"Well, looks like we're dead," Kuro sighed.
"Eeeeere!" Usopp thought fearfully about dying to the weather.
"Won't she be fine if she eat some meat?" Luffy suggested with worry.
"A bottle of alcohol should fix her up," Zoro stated confidently,
Vivi smacked both Luffy and Zoro on the head, "She needs neither of those."
"Nami swan," Sanji cried worriedly.
"What do we do Kuro!?" Luffy stared at Kuro.
Kuro sighed and everyone watched him sighed again, "Guess we'll have to let her go."
"No we don't!" Kuina smacked him in the head, "I know you have a solution so tell us."
Kuro held up his hand in defeat, "Alright I'll call Trust Me Bro."
"Trust Me Bro?" Everyone besides Kuina and Zoro tilted with confusion.
Zoro decided to explain, "Trust Me Bro is a friend of Kuro, one of the smartest people in the entire world."
Sanji and Vivi became extremely skeptical.
Usopp had faith Zoro wasn't lying so he was awed.
Luffy had stars in his eyes.
Kuina rolled her eyes.
They watched as Kuro pulled out a banana a from nowhere and seemed to make a phone call.
The phone seemed to be answered and Kuro spoke with Trust Me Bro, "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, alright got it."
Kuina seemed to sigh, "What did they say?"
Kuro explained, "They said there's an island nearby called Drum Island that has the best doctors in the world. We should be able to fix Nami up there."
"Yosh, let's go!" Luffy yelled.
"Alright," Kuina sighed.
Zoro nodded with agreement.
Sanji looked at everyone as if they were crazy, "There's no way there's an island nearby called Drum Island, you were speaking to a banana."
Zoro looked at Sanji with a grin, Kuina understood why Sanji would think that, Usopp could see why Sanji was right, Luffy thought Sanji needed to have more faith, and Vivi just stood still with confusion.
Sanji turned to Vivi who believed what they said but seemed confused.
"Vivi Chan?" Sanji questioned.
Vivi stared at Sanji, "Actually there is an island called Drum Island nearby."
Sanji could not process what Vivi said and turned to look at Kuro who was eating the banana he had just spoken, there was just no way.
The strawhats arrived at Drum Island after whooping a guy named Wapol.
Seeing the afraid and armed islanders, Kuro knew what to do.
He stood in front of them and they looked at him fearfully.
He held up his hand in surrender, "We come in peace."
"You're a pirates, you're lying!" Someone screamed out.
"I promise you we come in peace," Kuro stated with calm.
"Get out of here!" Someone fired a bullet.
Kuro caught the bullet between his teeth and spat it out at high speed towards the feet of the shooter.
They stared at what he just did with fear and shock.
Kuro no longer looked at the islanders peacefully, "We can either do this the easy way or the hard way, now I think all of you are smart so you'll make the smart choice."
A gunshot which Kuro caught the bullet of was all he received.
Kuro tilted his head at the shocked islanders, "I see we're doing this the hard way."
Kuro suddenly rushed towards the islanders, "I'M A WARRIOR!"
He didn't go far as Kuina appeared and smacked him on the head.
After a powerful talk no jutsu from Luffy and convincing words from Vivi to Dalton, the strawhats were let onto the island.
Luffy was climbing Mount Everest when he suddenly slipped and fell with Nami on his back.
He stretched out his hand and tried to get a grip but couldn't.
Kuro thought Luffy could do it but since he couldn't, it was magic carpet time.
Kuro turned into magic carpet and caught Luffy.
Luffy looked amazed at the magic carpet he just fell on.
"Wow," Luffy's eyes shined.
Luffy stayed awe as the carpet carried him and Nami to the top of the mountain.
Luffy got off the carpet with Nami and watched with amazement as the carpet flew away with the wind.
Feeling Nami shuffle behind him, Luffy realized he needed to get her to the doctor quickly.
He tried to move towards the castle he saw but quickly fell unconscious with struggle.
Usopp and Kuro were playing in the snow.
The two were making snowman's.
Suddenly, Usopp saw some yellow snow, "What's this Kuro?"
Kuro looked at the yellow snow with a smile, "That my friend is a rare sweet delicacy brought by winter."
"Really?" Usopp eyes shined.
Kuro smiled and shook his head, he suddenly didn't want to play the trick on Usopp, "Nah it's someone piss."
"Oh," Usopp realized.
Usopp then shook the laughing Kuro's neck, "You tricked me."
"Sorry," Kuro laughed and took out a top hat, "Here, I'll let you put this magic hat on a snowman to awaken Frosty."
"Frosty?" Usopp questioned.
Kuro nodded, "Yeah, you know, Frosty the snowman."
Usopp took the top hat, "I don't believe you."
Usopp then placed the top hat on a snowman.
The snowman didn't move and Usopp was about to turn to Kuro when the snowman moved and talk.
"Hello, Jolly fellows, how do you do on this fine evening?" Frosty smiled.
Usopp eyes popped out with shock, fear, and amazement.
Behind him he could hear Kuro scream, "By Gold Roger it's alive, kill it with fire!" Kuro yelled.
Usopp panicked and shot the surprised snowman with a fire pellet.
Frosty was set ablaze on fire, "Why!!! It burns, please put out the fire, why did you do that! I'm melting, I'm melting, I'm meltiiiiii..."
Between going through with the yellow snow prank and having Usopp actually eat it or giving him ptsd by melting Frosty, Kuro felt the ptsd was worse and immediately regretted it.
"What was that?" Was all Usopp could utter.
Kuro pick up the top hat which was still intact, "Maybe we can bring Frosty back if we place it on another snowman."
Usopp watched as Kuro placed the top hat on another snowman and Frosty came back to life.
Frosty huffed at the two of them, "Why good fellows, while I do not feel physical pain, please do not burn me again."
In the end, Usopp was able to reconcile with Frosty.
