Steve's POV

"It's so white. This must be a snow island!" Luffy yelled.

"Listen up Luffy; we don't have any time for an adventure. We're finding a doctor to treat Nami and then we're leaving." I tried to tell my friend but he was already lost in a daydream "Let's get ready to dock everyone!"

As we approached the island a large mountain range came into view. They were so big and round they looked like tree trunks.

"Luffy you should put a coat on it's cold out here." I instructed my friend

"It's negative ten degrees. That's hibernation temperatures." Vivi pointed out.

"Brrr it's cold." He shivered.

Wow.

"Who's going to look for a doctor?" Zoro asked

"Well first we need to find out if they're even people on this island." Rose told him

"I'm going." Luffy and I both said at the same time.

"Me too!" Sanji quickly joined us.

"Stop! Pirates."

We looked to the shore and saw a large crowd of people had gathered and they didn't appear to be very welcoming.

This won't be like Whisky Peak. And we don't have time to waste.

"This doesn't look to good." Usopp said.

"You will turn around and leave this island." A man instructed us.

I can't leave; we need to find a doctor. But we can't afford to attack a whole village over it.

"We're looking for a doctor." Luffy asked them.

"Please we have a sick person onboard" Vivi pleaded with the people but they wouldn't listen

Everything is going south.

I don't know what Sanji did but it pissed them off. Someone in the crowd shot at him and he barely got out of the way in time.

Crap!

"Now you've pissed me off…" Sanji was ready to go and fight the men on the shore but Vivi attempted to hold him back.

I don't know how or why but someone opened fire and shot Vivi next.

THE HELL IS GOING ON!

Luffy and the rest of us were all on the same page. Someone's gonna get their ass kicked to the brink of death.

Pissing these people off won't help Nami. We need to make them trust us but I'm not sure how to defuse this…

"Stop! This isn't a problem you can solve with violence." Vivi said grabbing Luffy's waist to stop him. "I'm okay, the bullet only grazed me. We won't get off our ship but please just call a doctor for our friend. Then we'll leave." Vivi bowed to the people on the shore.

"Your failing to carry out your duty as captain." Vivi said addressing Luffy "You can't just rush into fights."

Who does she think she's talking to?

Luffy got onto the ground and bowed with Vivi asking for help.

"I will lead you into town." One of the men said "but be warned our village only has one doctor and she's a witch."

The others began to walk off. Zoro and Rose were going to stay behind and watch the ship while the rest of us went into town. Before she got off the ship, I pulled Vivi aside so I could have a word with her.

"Listen I don't really appreciate the way you talked to Luffy back there." I told her with a stern face "I'll say it again you are a guest on this ship, don't you dare tell Luffy or I that we are doing our jobs wrong, do you understand me?"

"You should understand that you can't solve all your problems by fighting!"

"I know that but I will be the one to make a decision like that not some princess who's borrowing my ship! Luffy and I are the captains of this crew decisions like fight or flight will be made by us not you! I would have found a way to stop Luffy myself. I knew this wasn't the time to fight and I'll make that call not you!"

"Fine! Don't talk to me!" Vivi stormed off.

I let out a calming sigh I just hope no one else gets upset if they hear about that argument we just had.

"That was a little harsh. She really didn't deserve to have you blow up at her like that" Rose said walking up to me with Zoro

"I'm just frustrated I got a lot on my mind right now. I have to get help for Nami and get her back to Alabasta"

Not to mention I still can't get that other women out of my head

"Maybe your just stressed out?" Zoro asked "I'm not saying you're wrong. Captains are supposed to make decisions like that but she did make the right call so it isn't that bad."

"I'm just annoyed that she makes all these requests like she runs this show." I said voicing my frustrations.

"Right now none of this matters" Rose said "we need to get help for Nami. You and Vivi can settle your problems later."

"Your right I'm gonna go catch up. You two stay and watch The Merry." I gave both of them a glare "No funny business."

By the time I caught up to Luffy and the others they we're already making plans to go up the mountain and find the witch. The plan was to send Luffy and Sanji up with Luffy carrying Nami on his back.

"I'm coming with you." I told the two.

"Look who's here." I heard the annoyance in Vivi's voice.

"What took you so long?" Luffy asked me.

"Nothing just had to talk to Rose about something." I could feel Vivi glaring at my while I lied.

"Come on let's go before Nami dies!" Luffy yelled running on ahead.

"Don't say that!" Sanji yelled

"Wait for me! I said running after the two.

We trekked up the mountain as fast as we could. Sanji and I were going to be in charge of protecting Luffy and the sick Nami.

"Did you guys know that people in snow countries don't sleep?" Luffy said making conversation.

"Why's that?" Sanji asked

"Cause if they did they'd die."

"Luffy that's the dumbest thing I ever heard." I told my friend.

"It's true a guy told me once." He defended

"What guy. Usopp?" Sanji asked jumping over a rabbit.

"No a guy in a bar."

"Then why was there a bed in Dalton's house?" Sanji mused.

"It's for why it's his time to die." Luffy said like it was nothing.

"That's ridiculous!" I yelled avoiding a fallen tree.

"They say women from snow countries have the smoothest white skin." Sanji said with hearts in his eyes

"Why are they like that?" I asked

"Because when you're cold you rub your skin and that makes it smooth. And the snow dyes it white."

"That's absurd. Either way I prefer tan women." I explained.

"What are those?" Sanji said stopping

"The look like polar bears" Luffy laughed.

A whole pack of these giant rabbit bear things stood in our path blocking our ascent up the mountain. Suddenly one of the monsters attacked forcing us to dodge its sharp claws.

"These must be the Lapins Dalton told us about." Sanji yelled.

The what?

There were a lot of Lapins, at least twenty or more.

"Luffy leave this to me and Sanji. If you jump all over the place to much Nami may get hurt. You just dodge and keep going up, no matter what don't go down that mountain." I explained getting into a fighting stance.

"Got it!" Luffy yelled as he trudged up the snowy mountain.

Sanji and I did or best to hold back the Lapins but there were just too many for the two of us to stop only. We ran into the forest to try and shake off the killer rabbits.

"Just keep running!"

We hopped up a cliff to avoid the attacks and get closer to our destination. No matter how far we ran the Lapins just wouldn't quit until suddenly they stopped chasing us and began jumping.

"What are they doing?" Luffy asked.

They can't be…

"They're trying to cause an avalanche."

The sheet of snow we were standing on began shifting slightly. The snow began barreling down the mountain destroying everything in its path.

"OKAY NEVER MIND RUN BACK DOWN!"

"Protect Nami!" Sanji yelled "That's the most important thing, protect Nami! The second most important thing is to protect Nami. Head to that cliff!"

We out ran the snow and got to the cliff but it still wasn't high enough to avoid the snow. The snow plowed over the cliff and knocked us into the avalanche. I latched onto a tree with my whip and Luffy grabbed the same tree with his hand. Sanji held onto Luffy as the tree snapped forcing us to ride the tree down the mountain.

This is no good we're getting further away from the doctor.

The Lapins reappeared also riding trees.

"Oh Come on!" I groaned

"Look out we're gonna hit a rock!" Sanji alerted Luffy and I to the obstacle in our path.

Crap!

Sanji kicked Luffy and I off the log so we could avoid our impending doom. Sanji and the tree crashed into the rock and the tree shattered.

"Sanji!"

"You idiot why'd you do that!" I screamed.

Luffy reached out for Sanji but when he pulled his hand back he only found one of his mittens.

"You hang onto Nami." Luffy handed me the girl and dove into the snow after Sanji.

"Luffy wait!" but it was too late he had already jumped down the mountain.

Fifteen minutes had passed before Luffy returned with the unconscious Sanji. Without a word we began making our way back up the mountain needing to find help for our friends. Along the way we ran across a smaller Lapin digging in the snow trying to free another trapped rabbit. I grabbed the paw sticking out of the snow and freed the trapped animal.

We trekked a little higher up the mountain before we heard someone coming up behind us.

"Lord Wapol, look it's them."

A large furry hippo stepped in our path blocking us from going up the mountain. It was carrying three men. The man who stood on the water, Wapol, and a man with bushy black hair

"Move it." Luffy told the men.

"Why do you care? The people you're carrying look dead anyway."

I don't have time to deal with these guys.

Luffy and I walked around the hippo. The men who had invaded our ship earlier said something about a new law and a death penalty.

"Now kill them!"

I moved just in time to dodge a punch and Luffy was running from a hail of arrows right towards a large gaping maw.

"Luffy look out!" I warned my friend and he turned just in time to avoid a large bite.

Luffy ran back around and came next to me. The two of us had our backs against the wall when the archer and a man with a black afro burst out of the snow but before they had a chance to attack two Lapins appeared and swatted them away.

"That's impossible Lapins don't bond with humans!" Wapol yelled.

Did they come to help us? They look like the ones from earlier.

"Thank you we'll leave it to you guys." I said running after Luffy who had made a break the doctor's castle.

We ran a little farther when we found the base of the mountain. It looked miles high.

"You can't even see the top." Luffy complained.

"Let's get climbing." I said finding a grip on the very jagged rock.

It took a few hours but we did eventually start to get vision of the top of the mountain. I could feel the cold in my bones. Every finger on each hand was cut and bleeding from the rocks and my back was killing me from carrying Nami.

You're a lot heavier than you look…Better never say that to her face, she'll kill me.

When Luffy and I reached the top we could only marvel at the sight. A large white castle stood atop the snow covered mountain.

A doctor lives here?

"We finally made it." Luffy said falling to the ground.

"It's beautiful." I said doing the same.

All my strength's gone. I can't take another step.

I felt the snow shifting underneath us.

Oh God it's unbalanced. We're gonna fall off the mountain.

As I felt myself slipping away I saw Luffy and Sanji start to slide off the cliff.

Luffy move! Do something!

Just before I passed out I saw a large man grab Luffy's arm and pull him to safety.

Thank you.
