Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece

An Absolute Emergency

It was only a couple of hours since the Strawhats' departure from little garden. The crew were now sitting on the ship as they were doing their own thing. Nami was watching the ship's direction to make sure that they were sailing in the right direction. Usopp was tinkering with some devices. Sanji was protecting the kitchen from Luffy as he prepared a meal for him, and finally, Robin and Vivi were sitting with each other on the deck each reading a book.

Vivi glanced at Robin from her book. She was astounded by how many books the girl read since they left little garden. She had at least 9 books in front of her and was currently reading the ninth one. It was unbelievable, but then again; she was able to know who the princess really was just from looking at her face.

Vivi then had an idea pop inside her head. She put her book down and talked to Robin, "Robin, I was meaning to ask you if it doesn't bother you; how did you and Luffy meet?"

The black-haired girl smiled a little looking at Vivi who then said, "I mean you're so different from each other. I find it hard to believe that you both happened to stumble on each other on a beach walk in the afternoon."

The woman replied, "I'm not bothered at all, Vivi. In fact, the entire village was quite shocked when Luffy and I began dating, but they do say opposites attract each other."

Vivi began to press her fingers against each other, "So, about that story?"

Robin claps her hands and smiles but winces a little and scratches her hand, "I will begin, and believe it amazing. It's like one of those stories when the princess finds her knight in shining armor."

Vivi's eyes began to sparkle in anticipation, "That sounds so amazing."

Robin giggles a little and coughs in her fist, "Well, you see in my home island of Ohara, I wasn't the most loved individual. Children used to pick at me and their parents would usually scold me when I defended myself, and it didn't help that I eat a devil fruit at a very young age and always read books. This sorta made me an outcast in the entire island."

Vivi gasped putting her hand to her mouth, "That's horrible. How can they do that to a child?"

Robin shrugged, "My mom went on an expedition to search for the poneglyphs and left me at my uncle's home, but his wife was extremely cruel towards me…" Robin had a sour face when she said that, "…so I guess the other islanders took this as a sign to do whatever they wanted with me."

Vivi pouted crossing her arms, "Well, it's still wrong. To pick on a defenseless little child…"

Robin smiled carrying on, "But on the island, there were also nice people who helped me. there were the scholars of Ohara and their head professor Clover was like a father to me and he taught me everything to know about archeology and with his help, I became an archeologist at the 8."

Vivi was astounded by how Robin was able to achieve such a high rank at such a young age. The girl clapped her hands, "That's so amazing, Robin. I bet you were very happy that you managed to do that. I heard that the exams in Ohara were extremely hard."

Robin nodded her head, "That's true, but back to our story…" the woman then looked at her book, "…but one day, during the regular cycle of annoyance, something odd happened. A boy who I never saw before came out from the bushes and began to defend me. I was shocked to the point where I thought that it was just a cruel prank, but then he showed his devil fruit…"

Vivi's eyes had stars as she cooed, "That's so cool. It's like love at first sight."

Robin giggled a little, "Well, you can say that. for me, it might have been like that. when the other kids left, he began to talk to me. I felt very happy back then and then he said he was hungry against all odds, so I took him home." she frowned a little before smiling again, "I managed then to sneak him in because if my uncle's wife knew that I fed him, she would have hit me for sure. We talked and I discovered that he came all the way from the East blue to the West blue. I was floored, to say the least…"

Vivi nodded her head as the black-haired girl continued her story, "...he then told me about how his grandpa was planning to send him to prison if he didn't join the marines, and how he trained him with his brother Ace. He then told me that his brother will looking for him, so I was kinda bummed out thinking that he will leave me, but he asked me to play with him, so I couldn't have said no."

"The next day, while we were playing, we found a huge giant on the shores of my island. he told us that his name is Saul, and we befriended him quickly… that was only the beginning of the incoming storm that might have ruined everything…" Robin said shivering a little.

The blue-haired girl gulped knowing that the bad part was about to come to light, "We spent a couple of days together playing with Saul, but one day, the scholars cornered me and asked me why I was spending more time outside the tree of knowledge. I tried to dodge, but in the end, I told them about Luffy, so they asked to meet him. the meeting went well till his grandfather showed up and I was shocked when I knew who he was…"

Vivi asked curiosity getting the better of her, "Who was his grandpa?"

"The Hero of the Marines: Monkey D. Garp." Vivi was shocked beyond belief. The grandson of the hero of the Marines wanted to be a pirate. Talk about family issues.

"The man came to my island with another group from the world government to investigate if the scholars were researching the poneglyphs, and the group from the world government had the authority to start a buster call to wipe out the island from the face of existence," Robin said shocking Vivi to the core. She knew what the buster call was, but she thought it was only a myth.

Robin carried on, "Turned out, Garp was looking for Saul since he ditched the Marines and helped free my mother who was arrested during her voyage. And at the same time, the others arrived at Ohara, my mom also arrived."

Robin then leaned back into her chair wiping some sweat from her brow, "Garp and Professor Clover then decided to talk to Saul after we went and talked with him, and he asked us to talk to Luffy's grandpa to come to him. we stayed a little inside the library, but Luffy was bored quickly so we left the tree through means I hope to never relive, or at least at that age."

Robin carried on, "We went into the forest to play, but we then encountered the world government men, and we heard how they were planning to blow up the island. Luffy and myself after some hesitation on my part managed to snatch the buster call trigger and after a long chase delivered it to Luffy's grandpa. After that, I met my mom and we reunited. And finally, Garp and Professor Clover managed to make a deal with the world government to save the island and everyone else while also giving my mom a chance to raise me on Luffy's home island."

Vivi had tears in her eyes, "That was so romantic. So were you two childhood lovers?"

Robin laughed, "Oh no, we weren't. It took Luffy about 9 years to understand his feelings toward me. His devil fruit really causes him to have a hard time processing things."

Vivi fell out of her chair. She then stood up again, "That was way less romantic than I thought it would be, but romantic nonetheless."

Luffy then came and hugged Robin from behind and rubbed his face against hers. The boy then pecked her on the cheek making her blush a little. He looked at Vivi, "Oh hi, Vivi. What were guys talking about?"

Vivi then said, "Oh nothing. Robin was telling me how you two met each other. I thought it was really cool. It sounded really romantic."

Luffy laughed and said, "Did she tell you how my brother Ace was jealous of her when they first met? He thought that she was planning to make into a marine."

Robin herself laughed a little saying, "I still don't get where he had that idea come into his head."

Luffy shrugged. He then said, "Grandpa was really imaginative in his ways to make us into marines. Something like this wasn't below him."

Robin nodded her head as Vivi said, "Are you really Garp's grandson?"

Luffy puffed out his chest, "Yes, and I'm going to be the next king of pirates. I'm going to find the one piece. Shishishi."

Robin then laughed her own trademark laugh, "Dershishishi"

The two lovers continued like this shocking Vivi at how the two were in sync. Perhaps, they were more alike than she initially thought.

Robin then stood up and walked to her room as she said, "I feel a little bit tired, so I'm going to sleep a little. If you want anything from me, call out for me."

Luffy then noticed her scratching her hand and said, "Is there something wrong with your hand?"

The girl looked at him and waved him off, "It's just a small mosquito bite from little garden. I'm sure that it will pass over in a few days." The girl unconsciously began to scratch where she was bitten.

The boy bit his lip and said, "Are you sure?" he walked up to her and said, "Let me see it for a bit."

The girl showed him her hand. the boy looked at it causing him to frown. In her palm, there was a huge inflation accompanied by a deformation in the skin and a purple color where she was bitten.

The boy frowned, "I don't know about this. It seems really serious. Are you sure that you're okay?" he then put a hand to her head and noticed that she was heating up, "Also, you seem to have a fever. I think you might be coming down with something."

The girl shook her head gently kissing her lover, "I'm alright, gummy bear. I promise you that I am extremely fine. Maybe, I just need to rest my body a little bit."

The boy hummed disapprovingly but nodded his head nonetheless. He allowed the girl to enter the room and rest for a bit but planned to check on her in a small while to make sure that she isn't sick or had some kind of disease. That would be a problem since they had no professional doctor on board.

Vivi looked at Luffy and said, "Are you sure allowing her to go without further inspection is ok?"

Luffy shook his head, "I'll check on her later. She's really stubborn when she feels like it, especially when it comes to helping others. One time, Miss Olivia had to tie her down in her bad when she was extremely sick when she insisted to teach me."

Vivi nodded her head, "Right, Robin told me about that. She lived most of her life on your island."

Luffy chuckled, "Yes, we had the best time of our lives. We used to hunt to in the forest together with all types of animals. Huge tigers, huge bears, huge crocodiles, and huge boars. Mmm…" the boy hummed hungrily rubbing his stomach, "…tiger soup."

He then jumped down and ran to Sanji, "Hey, Sanji." The man looked at him and asked, "Can you make tiger soup for me?"

The blond looked at him with an unimpressed look, "It's always something with you." The man took a puff from his cigarette and answered, "Forget it, rubber head. We don't have tiger meat. We only have dinosaur meat. In other words, you'll get what you have."

The boy frowned but then nodded his head. He walked away dragging his arms on the ground and entering the kitchen. The blond man looked at him and shook his head, "Medical condition or not. You can't be a bottomless hole. You'll kill us eventually."

The man then saw Vivi and began to swoon at her, "Vivi-chan, I hope you're enjoying your stay on the ship. I hope that you ask me for anything that you need."

The girl smiled at him. She looked to the side and saw Zoro training as he saw a metal pole weighted by several weights.

The girl then sat on the chair as Nami approached her.

The girl sat beside her and said, "So how are you adjusting to the ship?"

Vivi smiled a little, "It is sure a little bit new, but I am still thankful for all of your help to take me back to my country. Most people must have demanded some ridiculous amount of money."

Nami smiled and nodded her head; she chose not to tell her that she was planning to sue her for about 10 billion berries once everything was said and done. "We just like to help people. It makes me feel bad if I charged someone with money."

Vivi smiled as Zoro coughed from the side. The man looked at Nami and said, "Woman, your mouth says something, but your eyes say the opposite. I'm sure you're going to milk her country like a cow once everything is said and done."

Vivi looked at Nami whose eyebrows were twitching in annoyance. The woman calmly walked up to Zoro. The next thing Vivi knew was the sound of Nami's fists hitting Zoro's skull. The girl looked at the man who was sprawled on the ground with multiple bumps over his head.

Nami then looked at Vivi causing the girl to shiver. The girl then waved her smoking hand, "Don't listen to that bozo. I would never do something like that."

Vivi nodded her head not wanting to face a similar fate.

Nami then noticed Robin's books still on the table. She frowned, "That's odd. Robin usually cleans after herself. I just hope that she isn't being influenced by Luffy."

Vivi then said, "Well, she looked a little bit tired when she was reading. She went to her room to rest for a little bit."

Nami frowned as she held the books and went to put them in the bookcase. She was also going to check up on Robin to make sure that she was fine.

A couple of moments passed till Nami's voice echoed throughout the ship, "Everyone quickly come here."

The rest of the crew dropped everything that they were doing and bolted to the captain's room as Sanji yelled, "What's happening, Nami-swan? Your princess charming is…" he was silenced by a fist to the face courtesy of Nami.

Nami then said, "There is something wrong with Robin. She boiling." Everyone looked at the black-haired girl and she looked miserable.

The girl's face was red. She was sweating profusely. She seemed to be in absolute agony.

The girl opened her eyes and said, "I'm fine. There's no need to worry."

Luffy quickly sat by her side and helped her up. The boy hugged her, "Don't lie. You look horrible." He then fluffed her pillow and helped her lay down.

He looked at Sanji and said, "Sanji, can you make soup for her?"

The man saluted his captain and said, "I'll use the best ingredients that the ship has to offer."

Usopp looked at him, "Wait! What type of ingredients were you putting in our food?"

Sanji shrugged, "I usually fed you apes leftovers and spoiled or rotten food. I keep the fresh ones for the ladies of the ship. They deserve it more than you idiots."

Usopp looked at him and said, "That's an unbelievably cold man. Seriously, that's cold even for you."

Sanji shrugged leaving the room to go to the kitchen as Vivi asked, "Who's the one that has medical knowledge?" everyone then pointed at Robin given that she had the most knowledge.

The girl sighed as she put her hand on Robin's forehead and shook it due to how hot it was.

Vivi sighed, "Looks, like we have to double our speed to reach Alabasta to heal, Robin."

Nami stood near Robin and put a wet towel on the girl's head, "I'm not so sure about this. We might have to make a stop on some island to heal her. she's isn't in a state to wait for a couple of days. She's in a bad condition."

Robin coughed out, "No, I'm not a priority now. we need to reach Vivi's country. The situation is much worse than we expected."

The girl pointed to a table in her room, and Vivi walked to it and opened a drawer on the table. In the drawer, there was a newspaper. The girl read it and gasped, "It's an article about my country."

The girl dropped to the ground as Sanji entered the room with a bowl of soup.

The girl didn't want to believe it, but the situation is much worse than expected. Half of the royal army has defected and joined the rebels. This is so bad. "I really need to reach Alabasta as fast as possible."

Sanji replied, "And we'll do that as soon as we heal Robin-chwan. We can't just keep her suffering."

The girl bit her lip as she thought about her opinions. Nami then said, "Look, you think about it. I need to make sure that we're still on course."

The girl looked at Robin who was being spoon-fed by Luffy. The black-haired girl looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry about me. our main goal is to reach Alabasta. Once we're there, you'll heal me."

Vivi then walked outside and saw Nami yelling out orders, "What's happening?"

Nami then said pointed toward Zoro, "That idiot was driving us into a storm that was going to kill us." The girl looked at Zoro who rolled his eyes angering her even further.

The man retorted, "I was going to where the big clouds were. That's usually a good sign." He was punched by Nami who yelled, "Wait a couple of minutes and see what was going to happen if I didn't adjust the course."

Truly a couple of minutes later in the direction that the ship was sailing in, a huge storm erupted that could have killed everyone.

Vivi looked at Nami in awe at how she predicted what was going to happen.

Zoro looked at the storm and said, "We should have just roughed it. I'm sure we would have been fine." This caused Nami to punch him hard on the head.

The orange-haired girl yelled, "Don't speak crazy nonsense. We could've died, you dimwit."

The green-haired man grumbled as he walked away from her to do more training.

Vivi then let out a sigh of relief. She then sat down and began to think about her choices. She then reached a decision, "Guys, I've reached a decision. We need to head to my country as fast as possible, but that's why we need to find an island where we can treat Robin first."

The rubber captain smiled at her, "Don't worry, Vivi. I'm sure we're able to find an island with a suitable doctor, but we still need to be quick."

And with that, the crew began sailing to the nearest island that they can find to heal their crewmate. It was going to be risky, but it was worth it.

A day have passed since Vivi's decision and currently, Luffy and Usopp were on watch duty. They didn't have an idea where they were going, but Nami told them that she thinks that they were coming near an island. the girl was currently watching over Robin.

The boys looked at each other as Luffy said, "It's a slow day, isn't it." Usopp nodded his head in agreement, but suddenly a voice said, "It's also very cold today, isn't it."

Both boys' eyes then snapped to a person, wearing a clown's outfit with a sad expression on his face, who was standing on the water. The boys looked at each other and then at the man who repeated himself, "Today is really cold."

Usopp then rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, I guess it's a little cold. I think I need a sweater."

Luffy agreed nodding his head, "Yeah, I think so, but I'm not really feeling it till he mentioned it."

Zoro then came to the two and said, "What are you bozos talking about?" he then looked at the man on the water, "And what the heck are you doing here?" the man then readied his blade.

The man looked at Zoro, "I was just saying that the weather was cold."

Zoro blinked as if a realization hit him, "I guess that the weather is a little bit cold."

Suddenly the sea began to jerk violently, a huge ship then emerged from the sea pushing 'Going Merry' back a little bit. The ship opened its doors as tens of soldiers stormed the smaller sea vessel.

The commotion caused Sanji to come out running from Robin's room and ask in worry, "What the heck is going on here? What…" The man then put a cigarette in his mouth, "So I suppose that we are being boarded by an unwanted guest." He ignored the guns pointed at his head at the current moment.

Zoro looked at him, "Yeah, it appears so. I don't think that they're the welcoming committee."

Suddenly all men in front of the ship made a way for someone from the much larger ship to walk on. After that, three figures arrived on the ship.

One of the three was the jester that they saw earlier. Another was a man who had afros on his body as well as a large mustache and was also wearing an orange suit. The two men then said, "Make way to the mighty King Wapol, the king of the Drum Kingdom."

The last man was a very heavy man who rode on a wooly hippo. The man had purple hair and wore a crown with hippo skin on his top. He was wearing all over his body and was holding a knife. The most shocking thing that happened is when he bit the knife and began to eat it.

The sight alone made Usopp's skin begin to crawl. It was rather worrisome and he can already feel trouble coming toward him from miles away.

The man then said, "Hey there, it's like those two said. I'm King Wapol of the drum kingdom, so you should know who peasants are talking to before you address…"

Luffy then shut him off by yelling, "Hey dumbbell, what are you doing on my ship? Get off it, or else…" The boy was silenced as a soldier hit him with the butt of his gun telling him to know who he was talking to.

Wapol shook his head, "Alright now, stay calm. There's no need for that. we're all friends here. I just need to ask you bunch a couple of questions before I decide what to do with you."

Luffy clenched his fists but kept himself calm because he didn't want to cause anything to harm Robin. The boy then yelled, "Then out with it, I don't have all day, you know."

The man then waved his hands, "Oh, we don't have time, do we?" not a problem, I just need to ask if any of you knows where Drum Kingdom is or if you have some kind of log pose that points toward it. if you have, I'll be on my way, and I'll leave you, folks, alone."

Luffy then yelled, "No, we don't. now get off my ship." The boy was getting agitated by the second.

The man replied, "Hey there, no need for trouble. If you don't have a permanent log pose, then I guess I would have to stall down by taking all of your treasures and the ship…"

The moment he said treasures, an orange-haired missile exited the captain's room whacking down a couple of soldiers along her way as she said in fury, "What are you saying? You want to take my money. I will kill you before anyone can even touch it."

The jester then yelled, "Shut up, you foolish girl. You're talking to mighty King Wapol. You would be lucky if this doesn't end up costing you your head."

The girl then said, "Get off this ship before I sick the boys on you. No one touches my money and lives to tell the tale."

Wapol then laughed, "I like her. I want her boys. She's feisty." The man then went to apprehend Nami as the crew tensed, "As I was saying earlier, I will take this ship."

The man then opened his jaw and bit a huge portion of the ship causing Usopp to yell, "How in the world is he doing that?"

The man replied through bites, "I ate the Munch-Munch fruit. I can eat anything."

The man then swallowed the piece he bit off and said, "Alright, let's end this, boys. Bring the girl and every valuable thing you can find on this ship." The man who went toward Nami was suddenly knocked out as Sanji stood in front of her.

The man then said in a dangerous voice, "I will not allow you to touch Nami-swan, you ugly fat oaf." Sanji then kicked three soldiers down.

Before the others can do anything, Zoro unsheathed his sword and cut down 5 of them, while Luffy punched most of them off the board. They then noticed that Wapol was still eating parts of the ships causing Usopp to yell, "Someone, please stop him before he can keep hurting Merry."

Luffy then ran forward pulling back his arms, as Wapol swallowed another piece of Merry. The man then opened his mouth and bit down on Luffy and began to chew on the boy.

The crew was panicking, but then Luffy's hand came back slamming into the man's stomach. The hit was so strong that it caused the man to be lifted into the air and spit out Luffy. The man was then sent flying into the distance.

Everyone from the Wapol's gang was shocked as the Afro man yelled, "King Wapol can't swim." He then pointed into the distance saying, "Quickly we must go and rescue him before he drowns."

The jester looked at the crew, "I promise that you'll all will pay for this. You hear me; you will pay for this." They quickly collected their fallen men and sailed after their captain.

The crew looked at them as Luffy yelled, "Quickly, everyone, let's keep sailing on. I'm sure that we're close to an island." Nami nodded her head and began to direct them.

It took another 2 days to finally reach an island, and the island seemed to be a snowy one given the white tops of the mountains it had. The mountains were tall and straight that can't be climbed by regular means. Luffy looked and hoped that they can find a doctor on the ground, not the mountain, but if need maybe he was willing to climb it.

Nami yelled, "We're nearing the island. everyone, prepare to dock the ship."

Usopp looked around and whistled, "Man, this island is really beautiful. I mean just look at the snow. I can keep making snowmen for weeks on end."

Nami then punched him, "We're not here for fun. We came here to find a doctor for Robin. Her situation is becoming much worse by the second. I hope we can treat her on time."

the long-nosed boy asked meekly, "Do you think that she's going to die?" the boy was silenced by a punch for the girl for his stupid question. She didn't want to hear this type of question especially if it involved her best friend on board of this sad ship. Robin was the only thing keeping her sane.

The girl replied, "No, she won't die. And never say it so casually as if you're talking about the weather." The boy shivered as the girl added, "You should be happy that Luffy didn't hear you."

The boy nodded again knowing what Luffy would have done to him if he heard him saying that Robin would die not that Usopp would blame him. he knew how to see your loved one sick.

The boy looked then saw someplace that is good enough for them to set their anchor in and asked Nami, "Hey, Nami. Do you think we can set our anchor here? I think it's good enough for us."

The orange-haired girl nodded her head as she said, "Alright guys, let's put the anchor here, so we…" the girl was cut off when a bullet was shot into the air causing her to back away.

The girl looked up at the side of the small river that they entered and saw people with all types of weapons standing there glaring at them, one person holding a smoking rifle as he said, "Leave this island and never come back pirates or you'll face our wrath. We won't allow you to harm anyone again."

Nami gulped as she silently cursed whoever attacked this island and lifted her hands in a sign of surrender and tried to talk to the people, "Look, we don't mean any trouble. We have a very sick crewmate, and it's life and…" she was cut off when someone shouted.

"shut up. Do you take us for idiots?" The man then pointed a gun at her causing her to flinch a little, "We know how your kind acts. We accept with kindness and the moment we turn our backs, you stab us and ruin our peaceful lives."

Sanji then stepped forward, "Hey, don't point that gun of yours at Nami-swan..." he was then nudged by Nami to be quiet and not escalate the situation any further.

The man frowned as he silently said, "Talk about a shitty reception."

One of the men yelled, "This is our country, and we decide who can enter. You're not welcome here so lift your anchors and leave or you'll be forced to."

Zoro then said, "Talk about being delusional." He was already beyond the point of chopping them down and going to find a doctor.

One of the men then shoot a round at Sanji who dodged it quickly as he said, "That's it."

Vivi, who exited the captain's room, saw what happened and quickly stopped Sanji, "Please calm down. You're only going to make the situation much worse than it already is." The man grumbled under his breath but nodded his head.

Another one then shot a bullet that managed to hit Vivi which angered Luffy, "How dare you?" every member of the crew then readied themselves to fight, but Vivi stopped them.

The girl then said, "Please, this isn't something that is solved by fighting. Don't worry about me." she then bowed down and addressed the crowd, "We promise that we only want a doctor for our sick crewmate. We won't cause any harm to anyone on this island."

Luffy then asked, "Vivi, what are you doing? We can't…"

Vivi then asked him, "Don't you care about Robin's health? Then just do what I do and everything will be fine."

The boy hesitated a little but nodded his head at the end of this as he bowed down with Vivi, "Please, the girl that I care about is sick. All I ask for is a doctor."

A man from the crowd yelled, "Do you think that we're stupid enough to fall for your tricks? I bet that you're just deceiving us to be able to make it inside the…"

A voice then came from behind everyone, "That's enough." All the crowd looked at a man wearing green armor walking up to the ledge. He looked down at the crew and said, "You say that you're in need of a doctor and then you'll leave."

Luffy replied quickly, "Yes, we are. I am sorry for before, but we desperately need one."

The man eyed them for a moment before saying, "Fine. Follow me into the village."

Vivi looked at Luffy and smiled, "See, Luffy. I told you that they were going to understand us."

The boy nodded his head in appreciation. Luffy then went to bring Robin with the aid of Nami as the man said, "But beware; the only doctor this island have is a witch."

Luffy then came out with Robin wrapped in a couple of blankets all over her body. The crew decided to leave Vivi's duck and Zoro on the ship to watch out for the vessel.

As soon as everyone left, the green-haired man stripped off his clothes much to Karoo's shock, and began to train his body to withstand the elements by jumping into the lake.

With the others, they looked at the man who said, "This island has no name as of now, but it might soon enough."

Vivi was quite shocked that there was an island that held no name to it, but they continued to walk nonetheless with the man they now knew was named Dalton. After an encounter with the local animals, they finally reached the village.

They looked around and Luffy was amazed by the various animals but kept himself focused on the task at hand.

Dalton after talking with the townspeople about the arrivals and the upcoming elections guided the crew toward their house. Once inside, the rubber boy asked him, "Is there a way to contact that witch doctor or not?"

The man replied, "I will get to that shortly, but first…" he looked at Vivi and said, "Have we met before? I can't help but feel that you're familiar."

The girl shook her head, "No, sir. You must be imagining things. I never saw this before in my life. But enough about that, how can we contact that doctor?"

Dalton walked up to Robin and checked her temperature, "42-degree fever… if it gets any higher then she'll most likely die."

Luffy shook his head, "No, she won't because we'll heal her."

Vivi then added, "The problem is we don't know the reason for this fever."

Luffy thought for a moment and said, "Do you think it's because of the bug bite back on little garden?"

Vivi looked at him, "I don't know, but I think it might be a probability given that the island is ancient so most probably there are some dangerous diseases back there."

Sanji then yelled, "Dangerous or not? All we have to do is bring that doctor a witch or not."

Nami said, "So can you tell us where she resides so we can go to her?"

The man then pointed outside the window and said, "Do you all see those mountains that are all over the island." the crew looked outside as Luffy nodded his head.

Dalton then said, "They are called the Drum Rockies." He then pointed at the one in the middle of the mountains, "On that mountain is the doctor that you seek. She lives in a castle on the top of it."

The crew gulped since they knew that their mission became much harder now.
