So we're off to a good start. Anyway I don't own One Piece or Naruto. It would be cool if I did... This is a top 5 arc for me. I can't wait to finish it. I hope you enjoy it.


The man was decked out in thick blue and green gear, clearly signaling he was no stranger to the chilly environment they were in. He sported a cozy blue and white cape, a large coat with a hood that had a jester-style tip, chunky green pants, and blue shoes. Slinging over his back was a quiver packed with arrows and a bow. Naruto rubbed his eyes then he slapped himself. He rubbed it while staring at the person who is still standing on the water.

"Yep... this isn't a dream." He muttered. He and the others feel the Merry shaking. Suddenly, a huge, dome-shaped metal ship popped up from the water right in front of the Going Merry. Luffy and Naruto clung to the railing while Usopp began rolling across the deck.

"Is... that a pirate ship?" Naruto asked with white eyes in surprise.

"It's huge!" Luffy gasped.

"Great, Just when we need to hurry..." Zoro growled. Suddenly they heard laughter. "What's the matter? Don't tell me our underwater raid ship the "Tin Tyrant" surprised you!? Hahahaha!"

Back in Nami's room, Sakura and Sanji both nodded at each other. Sakura turns to the Alabastan princess to tell her to watch Nami. They both rushed out to see what all the noise was about.

"Hey, what's going..." Sanji started to say, but then he stopped, staring in shock. Sakura came up next to him, her eyes growing wide. A large man with dark purple hair and a jaw like a tin can jumped off his ship, landing right on the Merry's rails. He was decked out in tin-plated armor and a white wool hooded cape, kind of resembling a hippo. His look was topped off with chunky brown gloves, purple and orange woolen shorts, a brown belt around his middle, and brown boots with white fur trim. Sakura blinked.

"There's something you don't see everday..." She muttered. Sanji brings out a cigarette and lights up a smoke.

"So... what's going on?

"Well, we're under attack and it's still snowing..." Luffy stated. Suddenly, the Straw hats were surrounded by a gang of pirates. A group was pointing at Usopp in the middle of the deck. Another group got into the crows nest and pointing their gun at Zoro. Luffy sat on the railing just outside the galley, with a bunch of pirates on the deck pointing their guns at him from every angle with Naruto standing beside him. Sakura and Sanji find themselves surrounded by a final group.

"Well, yeah.. the gun's pointing at us kinda gave it away..." Sakura added sarcastically."

"What next?" Asked Sanji.

"You consider yourself a band of pirates?" The man asked while chewing through his meat. "I only count 6 of ya. After finishing his meat, he went ahead and ate his knife, which made Luffy, Naruto, and the rest squick. Naruto's face dropped while Luffy looked disgusted.

"Okay, that's just weird..." Luffy said.

"WEIRD?" Naruto yelled. "HINATA IS WEIRD! THIS GUY IS A PSYCHO!

"Who is Hinata?" Luffy inquired.

"A weird girl back at home. But that's not important. WE JUST SAW SOME GUY EATING FUCKING KNIVES!" He yelled. Usopp groaned in disgust.

"My gums are bleeding just watching... Alright, I'll keep this simple," Wapol announced. "See… my men and I wish to travel to Drum Kingdom. You wouldn't happen to have an Eternal Pose or a Log Pose would ya?"

"Nope, can't help." Sanji shrugged.

"Yeah... I never heard of Drum Island." Naruto said.

"Same goes me..." Sanji said while puffing a cigarette.

"Now that we've have that settled. Would you guys just leave already? We're kind of in a hurry!" Luffy shouted.

"You won't enjoy life if you're always in a rush. But if you have neither pose then what can be done? I suppose I'll have to settle for your treasure and your ship!"

"What?" Naruto growled. "The only thing you're getting is a ticket out of here."

"First things first... I'm feeling a bit hungry..." He spun around and chomped down on the ship's railing, making Sanji gasp. Sakura covered her in mouth but was in disgust or disbelief? Either way, they must get rid of this man before he devours them all.

"Hey, Our ship isn't your lunch!" Luffy protested.

"Hey, be quiet. Wapol doesn't like to be disturbed while he's eating." One of his men said while pointing his gun at Luffy.

"SHUT UP!" Luffy cried and punched both of the pirates pointing their gun at him.

Damn pirate! We're under attack!" Shouted another guard. "Shoot him!" The other started pointing their guns at the Straw hats. However, they didn't faze. In fact, Zoro starts to smile.

"Now things are finally starting to get interesting." Zoro grinned as he tossed his blanket aside.

"I agree, Zoro." Sakura said as she tightened her gloves then pounded her first.

"Perfect.. this more like it!" Sanji said as he removes his scarf.

"STOP IT, CAN'T WE DISCUSS THIS?" Usopp said, sneaking away in the mast to avoid the bullets.


Back inside, Vivi senses the room trembling. Her eyes widen as she hears a gunshot.

"Gunfire!" She turns to her duck Karoo. "Karoo, stay here and watch Nami! I'll be right back." Karoo quacks as his master runs off.


One of the pirates shots their gun at Sanji but he dodged it by jumping then he kicked one of Wapol's men to the ground.

"You shouldn't take anything you can't handle!" he shouted. "Reception!" He then kicks more men to the mast. It almost hit Usopp but he escapee luckily. Sakura slugged some of the men that was attacking her. She then jumped towards another one and lands her feet at his face. He kicks more men toward the mast, narrowly missing Usopp, who luckily dodges out of the way. Sakura throws punches at some of the attackers, then leaps at another one and plants her feet right in his face. Two guys start shooting at her from both sides. She quickly ducks, dodging the bullets just in time landing on the men instead. Sakura wipes her hands off.

"Bad aiming."

Zoro starts by tossing a few guys off the crow's nest, then dashes across it and cuts down several more. A bunch more men charged at Zoro, waving their swords around, but he easily sidestepped their strikes and dropped them one after another as they hit the deck.

"All bark and no bite." He said. Naruto faced off against a guard in a solo battle. He kept jumping back to avoid the Pirate's blade. Then, he stepped on his sword and delivered a swinging kick, sending the guard tumbling to the ground.

"Hey, uh, Wapol. We need help!" One man said. However, Wapol was still munching off the ship.

"YOU STILL EATING?" Luffy screamed as he punches each pirate out of the way.

This ship doesn't taste half bad!" Wapol remarked as he munched on the vessel.

"HEY, YOU!" Luffy yelled as he dashed toward Wapol.

"You food!" a guard barked. "You're no match for Wapol!"

"Now, you'll be eaten by the power of the munch-munch fruit!" Another guard remarked. To prove his point, Wapol bit Luffy's face, causing Naruto's jaw to drop.

"LUFFY!" He exclaimed. Vivi then comes out and is stunned to see Luffy's arms stretch. Sanji looks at her nonchalantly.

"Oh, hey Vivi... everything okay there with Nami?" She looks over to see Luffy's face being eaten by Wapol.

"I... SAID... LEAVE!" Luffy ordered as his arms came back and punches Wapol out of the ship. Wapol's men were stunned in silence. All of the Straw hats grinned while Vivi was in shock. Naruto pats Luffy on the back.

"This is bad!" The Wapol pirate that was standing on the water commented. "HE SENT WAPOL FLYING OUT INTO THE OCEAN!"

"BAD?" The pirate with the afro said. "IT'S A DISASTER! WAPOL'S GONNA DROWN! HE CAN'T SWIM!"

"Recall the troops!" He ordered. The pirates ship hippo-shaped mouth opened as their troops goes in to rescue their captain.

"This far from over! You'll pay! I promise you'll pay!"

Wapol's crew began to sail off on their ship. Naruto and Sakura looked at with surprise and confusion. Naruto turned to his girlfriend.

"Did we just see that? A pirate that ate the ship then nearly ate Luffy. Sakura was shocked as well.

"Y-yes. I saw it too." Naruto then crossed his arms

"And did he say his name is Wapol?"

"Who cares?" Sanji shrugged. "Don't worry about it. The guy's obviously a moron, best to just forget about him." Sakura looks over at Wapol's direction.

"Somehow... I think we will see him again." She muttered.


A few hours after their encounter with Wapol, Luffy, Naruto, Sakura, Sanji and Vivi went back to Nami's room to check on her. The poor Navigator was still breathing heavily.

""Are you sure she isn't just hungry? Maybe we should try to feed her lots of meat!" Luffy suggested.

"Surely you can't be serious?" Naruto asked.

"I am serious..." Luffy stated. "And don't call me Shirley."

"What?" Naruto asked with a confused shake. But Luffy ignored him and stretched his head.

He fiddled with his ears, then moved on to his chin, and eventually his nose. He tried making goofy faces at Nami but just couldn't nail it. "

No charge at all." he said. "Hmmm..."I know. Douse her in water. That'll fix her."

"You idiot!" Naruto, Sakura, Sanji and Vivi shouted and punched and kicked Luffy to a wall.

"Look, it's about sunset but she still looks the same." Sakura said.

"Yeah... we should probably rest for the night." Naruto recommended.

"Maybe it would be best if we drop anchor somewhere." Vivi suggested as she glances at Nami. "We can't navigate at night anyway without the help of Nami's instructions."

Naruto gave a nod, then jumped up and headed out.

"I'll set the anchor tonight." he said. He glances over at Nami resting there. Suddenly, he sees Sakura instead, sick and lying down. Startled, he snaps out of it and gives himself a little shake. He looks at the bed again to see Nami still lying.

"Get a grip," he mutters. "It won't happen to Sakura... and Nami's not going anywhere," he reassures himself and drops the anchor.


Nami woke up in bed and noticed Sakura and Vivi dozing off on their knees nearby. She sat up, letting the cloth slip from her forehead, and saw Luffy, Naruto, Usopp, and Zoro all sprawled out together. She had to do a double-take when she saw Luffy's hand smooshed against Naruto's face, and surprisingly, Naruto didn't even react. Nami chuckled quietly at the scene.

"AGHH, YOU WANT MY AUTOGRAPH BECAUSE I'M SO FAMOUS?" Usopp shouted in his sleep, giving Nami a bit of a scare. Then he went back to sleep. She sighed.

"Ah... thank you!" Naruto mumbled in his sleep. "I'm so honored to be Hokage! I wanna thank my wife Sakura and my best friend and Pirate King Luffy and my crew..." he continued before drifting off again. It didn't scare Nami. In fact, seeing Naruto dream about being married to Sakura made her heart melt.

"It'll happen one day." She told herself and went back to sleep.


The following morning, Sanji was up in the crow's nest on lookout duty and dozed off. He eventually woke up to the sound of someone hammering away.

"Crap, I fell asleep." He looks over to see Usopp fixing the ship with hammer and nails. He is railing the main deck that Wapol bit off of.

"You're up early!" Sanji called up to Usopp.

"Can't just around here doing nothing." Usopp answered, with nails clenched between his teeth, continued hammering away at the deck. "We gotta find a way out of this jam as soon as possible." Sanji was silent before saying.

"You're right. That's a good point." He then lights up a cigarette.


Above his eyes, there were drawn-on lashes, with dark half-circles underneath. His nose tip and brows were smeared with grayish-black makeup. Pink lipstick was smeared across his mouth. Zoro and Sakura were totally freaked out, while Naruto just stood there quietly before bursting into laughter. Luffy joined him in laughter.

"Not ever Sakura... wears that much makeup!" He then lays down with Luffy and they both laughed together. Sakura and Zoro looked at each other with sweatdrops and deadpan looks.

"They are idiots..." They both muttered.


Usopp, meanwhile was near in completion of fixing the Going Merry. Sanji suddenly felt a shiver.

"Say, Usopp, does this area seem unusually cold?"

"Now that you've mentioned it, it sure does." He said as Vivi came out from the deck. "To be honest it's freaking me out. The Grand Line just keeps getting stranger."

"That's not necessarily true." Vivi commented. Usopp stopped in confusion. "Maybe, there's an island nearby. Sanji, can you check the horizon for any sign of land?"

"Sure thing." Sanji mentioned and began searching for any signs of civilization. Hopefully some hosptials or clinics to help Nami as Vivi Continued.

"There's a winter island somewhere nearby I think."

"Winter Island?" Zoro asked while Usopp accidently hit his thumb with the hammer. Vivi Continued her explaination. "Scattered within the Grand Line there are four basic types of islands made distinct by their varying climates. Summer islands, Spring islands, Fall islands, and Winter islands. Each one has their own four independent seasons. When traveling in the Grand Line there are at least 16 different types of weather patterns you must be prepared to endure. Range from Summer to Winter. There can even be unknown climates at any given moment."

"I think I get it. The Grand Line has different islands one after the other and that's the reason why the seas in between them have crazy unstable weather patterns." Usopp said.

"Correct." Vivi stated. "The closer we get to an island the calmer the sea is around it. Which is way I asked Sanji to start looking for land."

"I see it." Sanji muttered. The others glanced up in surprise. "ISLAND, DEAD AHEAD!"


Luffy heard from Sanji and cheered.

"Are you serious?" Naruto and Sakura, too are relieved that they see land. Sakura puts her hand on Nami's

"Nami... I promise you that we are gonna find you a real doctor. And if we have the chance... maybe either he or she can join our crew and can teach me diseases so I can learn about them." She felt Naruto hug her shoulders.

"You're already a good doctor." He said then he kissed her cheek.


Luffy hops onto the figurehead, buzzing with excitement about discovering the next island with Naruto, Sakura, Usopp, Sanji and Vivi standing behind him. Naruto is wearing the fresh coat Sakura picked up during her trip to Loungetown. Sanji then tries to assure him...

Whoa, Luffy, wait. Just that there's no misunderstanding, we're stopping to find Nami a doctor. We're not here to have an adventure. Are. We. Clear?"

"Oh... I love snow." Naruto lowers his head and lets out an exasperated sigh.

"It's no use... Once something is on his mind, it never leaves it." Hold on, are you sure this is a good idea? There could be snow monsters! Besides we don't even know if there's people there or not!" Usopp gulped. "Oh no! My I-can't-enter that island disease is acting up!"

"Chicken..." Naruto muttered quietly.

"It's ten degrees below freezing out here..." Vivi said, "That's when bears get ready to hibernate." Luffy felt a shiver and covered his body.

"It's cold."

"YOU JUST FIGURED IT OUT!?" Naruto, Usopp and Sanji yelled. As the Going Merry continued sailing, Vivi noticed a landing spot. "It's a stream of melted snow. This could be a good spot to disembark." Zoro nodded.

"'Kay, guys. Doctor seach. Who wants in? Guess we gotta find people here first."

"Me!" Luffy raised his hand.

"I'm in." Naruto gave a thumbs up.

"Me too." Sakura grinned.

"Same goes for me!" Sanji declared.

"Fine, Go ahead!" Usopp exclaimed.

"THAT'S FAR ENOUGH PIRATES!" A voice shouted. Naruto and the others suddenly is surrounded by some villagers. And they were pointing their guns at the straw hats. Naruto stood in front of Sakura for protection.

"People! Well, that was easy." Luffy exclaimed.

"Yeah... except that they are pointing their guns at us." He then sees a man walked up. He must be the leader of this village.

"I'll only say this once. Your kind is not welcomed here. Leave immediately." He threatened.

"Please..." Sakura spoke. She puts her knees on the floorboard. "Our friend is sick. She needs a doctor fast." Naruto puts his hand up. He turns to the village leader.

"Sir, I can tell that you can know an honest person when you see one. I do admit we are pirates but we are friendly pirates. I assure you we won't land but can you please call us a doctor? Our friend is sick and possibly dying from a serious illness."

"Yes.." Vivi pleaded as she puts her knees down. "I'm begging you... please help us!" Luffy gasped.

"Vivi..."

"You're not fit to be the captain of this ship, Luffy. Not everything can be fixed by starting a fight. We can't get into a fight here. Think about Nami. What would happen to her?" Luffy's eyes widened.

"You're right. I'm sorry about that. He then joins Vivi in falling down on his knees. For a few moments, everything was silent. The leader glanced at Naruto, then shifted his gaze back to the Captain of the strawhats.

"I'll show you to our village!" He called out and walked off, the villagers trailing after him. "Follow me!" Vivi and Sakura let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Naruto with a smile.

"Way to go, Naruto... that was some solid leadership." His girlfriend complimented him and gave him a peck on the cheek. Naruto blushed and grinned.

"Yeah, I guess... if I'm gonna be Hokage... I need to step up and be responsible." Vivi smiled at the sight then turned to Luffy.

"See? Just ask politely."

"Yeah..." Luffy nodded. "You're incredible, Vivi." She giggled.


Luffy, Naruto, Sakura, Usopp, Sanji, and Vivi made their way through the snow, heading toward the village. Sanji was holding Nami on his back. Zoro was the only one who stayed behind.

"There is one thing I feel I should tell you. We only have one doctor here is actually a witch." The man named Dalton told the crew.

"A witch?" Sakura questioned.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Sanji said. "Everything about this island is messed up. What do you people call this weird place anyway?"

"Actually this land still doesn't have a name." Dalton said.

"An Island without a name? I never heard of one like it before. Even villages in my home have names." Sakura stated. Suddenly she heard Usopp screaming.

"A BEAR! HURRY EVERYONE! PRETEND TO BE DEAD!" She and the others glanced over to see a passing through... a white bear holding a axe as a walking stick. Naruto quirked an eyebrow.

"And I thought that book I read when I was a kid about a bear eating honey and being friends with a pig was strange." They then see the town. It seemed to be a peaceful town full of people.

"It's a Hiking Bear," Dalton explained. "He poses no threat. Don't forget to bow. It's proper manners."

"This is the village where we live in..." He said. "It's called Big horn.

"Look at all the weird animals walking around everywhere," Luffy said.

"Yeah, this is snow country," Usopp said.

"Thanks for the help, everyone. If you're not a guard, you can continue with your work." The village leader told his guards.

"Are you certain that you'll be alright here by yourself?" One of them asked.

"They are pirates." Another one said.

I believe these people mean us no harm," Said the village leader. "It's my hunch anyway. You can trust me on that." The villagers nodded and leaves for their post. Vivi turns to the village leader.

"You can use that bed over there." He said after they reached his house. Sanji puts Vivi in the bed and Vivi covered her up.

"My name is Dalton. I'm the Captain of the Island's Security Squad. Please forgive our… less than friendly welcome." He then turns over to Vivi

"Excuse me, but can I ask you a question? It's just that… you look familiar to me for some reason." Vivi looked nervous so Sakura came to her defense.

"She has one of those faces... So, can you help Nami?"

"How long has she had it?" Dalton asked.

"It's been several days and it just keeps getting higher." Vivi told him.

"I see. She'll likely die if it gets any worse."

"Yes." Vivi said. "Sakura's a medic here but she doesn't know what disease she has.

""We've got to find a doctor as soon as possible!" Sanji exclaimed. "ANY doctor will do. Where's this witch of yours?"

"Do you see those mountains outside the window?" Dalton asked.

"Yeah..." Said Sanji. "I noticed them earlier." Suddenly Naruto put it together.

"Are you telling me she lives there?" He asked.

"Yes..." Dalton told him. "Those mountains out there are known as the Drum Rockies. Look closely. Do you see the castle on top of the tallest one? The one in the middle."

"Castle?" Usopp repeated.

"That castle has lost it's King," Dalton said.

"Yeah, I see it up there." Naruto said. "That's where she lives?"

"Yes... "Doctor Kureha. She's the one who people here call a Witch."

"What!?" Exclaimed Sanji. "Of all places why does she have to live on top of a mountain? We need to call her here right now! Nami needs her help!"

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid there's no way to contact her," Dalton said.

"Huh?" The strawhats all asked in unison as Dalton continued.

"Her skills as a Doctor are quite impressive actually," Dalton said. "However, she's an eccentric old woman. She's nearly 140 years old now."

"140? She must be older than Granny Tsuande!"

"Naruto..." Sakura growled.

"Then what do you do when people are sick or injured?" Vivi inquired. "Doesn't she help them?"

"She comes down from the mountain whenever she feels like," Dalton replied. "She looks around for patients, treats them, then takes whatever she wants from their houses as payment."

"She doesn't sound like a very nice lady." Usopp said.

"Hearing that just infuritates me!" Sakura added angrily. "Doctors are meant to lend a hand to those who are unwell and in need, regardless of the circumstances. I learned from the best Medic in my village, and she always emphasized helping others no matter what."

"Oh, Sakura... You're so compassionate!" Naruto growled and punched Sanji in the face and looked at the mountain. "Several of the villagers claim they've seen her at night, riding a sleigh of some kind through the sky. They see her silhouette when the moon is full. That's the reason she's thought to be a witch. There are others that say they've seen her with a strange creature. A creature that none of them recognize."

"GAAAHH! IT'S THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN!" Usopp screamed. "OH NO! OH NO! I DON'T WANNA RUN INTO IT!"

"Doctor Kareha is the only Doctor we have," Dalton continues while ignoring Sanji's scream. "But she's still a woman I would prefer you stay away from. All we can do is wait for the next time she decides to come down the mountain."

"Really?" Vivi said.

"No, dammit!" Sanji exclaimed as he gets closer to the window. "We can't wait here for that long. Nami is getting even worse as we speak."

"Sanji is right. There's gotta be a way to help her."

"Hey, Nami..." Luffy saddenly slapped Nami's face. "Wake up now..."

"Luffy, you idiot! What are you doing to her!?" Naruto, Sanji, Vivi, and Usopp shouted . Suddenly Nami opened her eyes making Luffy smile.

"Here's the thing, the only way to see the doctor is to climb the mountain. So we're gonna have to climb the mountain."

"What?" Naruto questioned.

"Are you crazy?" Sanji asked. "What about Nami? How do you expect to get her up there?"

"Easy," Luffy said. "She'll ride on my back." Naruto looks at Luffy again. He's seen his determined look before. He pats him on the back.

"Easy, she'll ride on my back," Luffy answered.

"That's only going to make her even more sick!" Vivi protested.

"What's the problem? I thought we needed to hurry?" Luffy asked.

"We do, but you'll never make it up there!" Vivi said while pointing at the mountain. "Look at how steep and tall that mountain is."

"I'll go with you." Naruto faced Luffy, shocking the others. Sakura turns his body around and glares at him.

"Naruto... Are you crazy? We don't have chakra to climb the mountains." Sakura protested but Naruto holds his hands.

"I know, Sakura... but we gotta help Nami somehow and that bitch might be our only hope."

"Yeah, we can do it!" Luffy said with determation. Sakura puts her hand on her forehead. They are both

"Maybe you can... but climbing on that thing would be way too hard on Nami!" Sanji stated.

"He's right, guys... Even if you land in snow, it would make things worse for Nami..." Sakura was about lecture more but Naruto put his hands on her shoulders.

"Sakura, you wanna be the Hidden Leaf's greatest medic, right?" Sakura was stunned by that question but slowfully nodded. "Are you willing to save Nami?" Sakura looks back at Nami who is panting inside the bed. She looks back at her boyfriend and nodded.

"Then Luffy and I can do it.. " Sakura glances at the dangerous mountain after hearing Naruto's words. "Just trust us." She knows it is a risk but what kind of doctor would she be if she doesn't save a life. Not to mention Nami is her best friend and wants to help her at any cost. She looks at him.

"I'm coming too." Naruto smiled and kissed Sakura quickly. Vivi was shocked.

"Sakura..." They heard Nami trying to get her voice out.

"... I need to get over this thing and quickly." The whole straw hats were shocked. "We need to hurry for Vivi..." She raises her hand to Luffy. "I'm counting on you, Captain..." Luffy smiled and slapped it right back. Naruto and Sakura smiled at the sight.

"Leave this to me." He promised.


Naruto, Sakura, and Luffy slip into the winter coats Dalton handed them. Usopp then gestures toward the Captain of the Strawhats.

"I can't believe this. Now our navigator's as crazy as our captain." Usopp sighed.

"You know you're in no shape for a trip like this, Nami." Sanji stated.

"Sanji, she's already decided, and so have we," Sakura remarked.

"Listen Luffy!" Usopp warned, "you can't fall even once or Nami will die."

"No even once?" Luffy asked.

"Not even..." repeated Sakura while watching Vivi tie her with a rope on Nami holding on Luffy. After she finished she turned to Sakura.

"I'm going to wait for you I came with you guys... I'd be getting in the way." Vivi said. Usopp nodded in agreement.

"Yep, me too."

"All right..." Nodded Luffy. He then turned to his Navigator with a smile. "Now you just hold on tight to me, okay, Nami?"

"I guess your set on going," Dalton said. "I'm not going to try to stop you but I will ask you to at least climb up from the other side. That way you can avoid the Lapin's that are on this side."

"Lapins?" Sakura asked.

"What are those?" Questioned Naruto.

"They are fierce carnivorous rabbits," Dalton explained. "If you run into a pack of them, you're as good as dead."

"WHAT?!" The couple said in unison. Sakura's eyes went white with a shocked face.

"Really?" Luffy asked. "Well, we gotta get up there. We'll be just fine. Right?" He asked Naruto who gave him a thumbs up.

"You can't be serious!?" Dalton reasoned. "Do you know how easily those things can kill you?" Naruto chuckled and stares at the mountain.

"I've face worse enemies. I can handle a couple of bunnies. C'mon, Sakura." Naruto said while running off. Sakura followed him.

"Now, hurry up, Sanji, before Nami dies." Sanji's face faulted and runs off.

Don't say stuff like that, you idiot! Do you wanna jinx us!" Shouted Sanji.

"Hahahaha!" Vivi, Usopp and Dalton watched from the village with worry. He turns to the Princess of Alabasta.

"Are you sure they'll be alright?" Asked Dalton.

"Well, it's not really those 4 we need to worry about," Usopp said.

"Nami's the one in trouble. I just hope her strength can hold out that long. She's getting sicker by the minute." Vivi stated. The group was silent except for Usopp letting out a small groan. Dalton then walks inside. He stops to see Vivi and Usopp staying put.

Come on inside, it's cold out here."

"That's really okay, I want to stay out here," Vivi insisted.

"M-m-me too!" Usopp shivered. Dalton was surprised then he smiled and closes the door, joining them.

"I see... well in that case, I'll join you." He takes a seat and grins at the pair. Vivi beams in response. Dalton then shifts his gaze to the mountain.

"We did once have some here on this island." He said. The pair of pirates gasped in surprised. "Doctors. However, all of them left some time ago for some reasons. They were very good at what they did while they were still here. We were even well known for the medicine that was practiced on this island."

"So what went wrong?" Vivi inquired.

"A few months ago we suffered a vicious attack," Dalton explained. "Our country was destroyed by pirates."

"OH MAN!" Usopp exclaimed. "THE WHOLE COUNTRY?"

"So that's the reason you acted that way when we showed up." Vivi said. Dalton nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, after the attack the word 'pirates' still terrifies everyone on this island. I'm sorry about the way we treated you. Their group as small as well, only five people. Their Captain called himself Blackbeard. Their power was so incredible they destroyed our country faster than you would believe."

"Then there were only five of them fighting?" Vivi asked. "That's impossible."

"Blackbeard." Usopp muttered as Dalton continued.

"There are some here that actually believe that the 'monster' was good for the country," Dalton told them.

"What could possibly be good about that happening?" questioned Vivi.

"THAT'S CRAZY!" Usopp exclaimed. "Who would say something like that anyway?"

"I agree..." Dalton nodded. "I agree. But they have their reasons. The King who ruled here before the attack was a horrible man. His rule was despised by all his citizens. Our country used to be known as Drum Kingdom. Our King's name was Wapol. He was the worst King imaginable!" Vivi and Usopp's eyes widen. They remember Wapol eating their ship yesterday.

"Yes, I remember him... I know that man." Vivi said.

"Not Wapol..." Usopp gulped.


Naruto, Luffy(Who is holding Nami) Sakura, and Sanji sprint towards the mountain. Luffy felt a shiver.

"It feels like it's gotten a little colder! The wind's picking up!" Luffy shouted.

"So why don't you think about putting on some real shoes, instead of sandals, Luffy!' Sanji shouted.

"No way! This is my police!"

"Police?" Asked Naruto.

"I think you mean 'policy,' Luffy." Sakura says. They kept running, totally oblivious to the big white rabbit hiding behind a tree, watching them.

"So anyway, Did you know this?" Luffy continued. "Did you know that there are people in snow country who never sleep at all?" Luffy asked them.

"Why?" Sanji asked, wondering.

"Because if they do, they'll freeze to death." Luffy replied.

"Don't be an idiot..." Sanji said. Everyone has to sleep some time." Another white rabbit was watching from further along their path.

"It's the truth! Someone told me a long time ago." Luffy said, avoiding the rabbit that was trying to attack it like he didn't notice it.

"Who, Usopp?" Asked Sanji. Overlooking a rabbit trapped in the snow. It escaped.

"Actually, Sanji Luffy has a good point." Sakura defended while the rabbit bites down the tree, causing it to fall down but that didn't stop our heroes from jumping over him.

"When you get cold, you rub your skin to warm it up right?" Sanji explained. The Rabbit tried to bite Naruto but he grabbed it without noticing it and threw it to air to listen to Sanji's story.

"It's always freezing cold in snowy countries like this one… It's always freezing cold in snowy countries like this one so the women keep rubbing their skin all that time. And so it becomes all white and silky smooth."" Sanji finished.

"Sanji... that is bullshit!" Sakura said. The rabbit jumped at the Group but Sanji kicked it out to the mountains. Luffy then turns to Nami,

"Hang in there, Nami... we'll get you to a doctor and that's my promise." He vowed. Naruto and Sakura both heard the sound, which took them back to the time when Naruto, as a kid, vowed to bring Sasuke back. But this promise... seemed even more heartfelt. Suddenly they all heard a growl. Naruto glanced over at Luffy, swallowing hard.

"Luffy, was that your stomach?" Luffy shook his head. "I was afraid of that." He then glanced over to look at creatures blocking their was massive white rabbit, as big as a grown bear, sporting long pointy ears, lengthy whiskers, and some seriously sharp teeth and claws. It wasn't alone either; it had a whole gang of over twenty bear-sized rabbits tagging along.

"THE LAPINS!" Naruto screamed.


Back at the nameless village, Dalton was listening to their story of how they got there and suddenly, something caught his ears.

"You mean you know who Wapol is?" Dalton asked them.

"Know who he is ? We know more than that! He's the pirate who attacked our ship not too long ago! But I was able to take care of him. Now that I think about it, I do remember him saying something about heading to Drum Kingdom." Usopp told him.

"Yes. There's no question about it now, I remember it clearly. I've seen him once in a monarch meeting my father took me to. I was still very young but I remember it to this day." Vivi said. Dalton stared at her with suspicion.

"A Monarch meeting? Who are you?" Hearing that caused Vivi to stutter.

"I-I mean, the point is we do know Wapol! We've ran into him yesterday when we were on our way here." She spitted out, hoping her plan of changing the subject work.

"Yesterday? Are you sure about that?" He questioned.

"But then I don't understand what's going on here. He said he was a pirate. He didn't say anything about being a king."

"He's calling himself a pirate as a disguise. Who is only wandering the seas trying desperately to return to this island." Dalton explained.

"Then Wapol and the people who were on the ship with him were kicked off the island because they were no match for the pirates, is that what happened?" Vivi asked. Dalton puts his head down in anger.

"That's not it, no..." Vivi was taken aback when she heard that. "What happened, when we we're attacked. Wapol's army didn't even try to fight! In fact, the second he learned how strong the pirates were Wapol grabbed his cronies and ran like a coward! He abandoned us and left his country!" Vivi clenched her hands in anger.

"What sort of king would do that to his country!?" Vivi asked while being enraged Usopp gasped. "A king abandoning his people? Just the thought of that makes me absolutely sick!"

"You're exactly right." nodded Dalton. "The one good thing that came out was the end of Wapol's tyrannical rule. The people who were left on this island have come together. We're trying to create a new country. So, what we feared most right now is the return of Wapol and his followers. The return of his brutal rule. We can't afford for him to come back now with the country so unstable. It would be the end of us! We want to build ourselves a new peaceful nation on this island."


One the Lapkins jumped to attack Naruto, Luffy, Sakura and Sanji but luckily they jumped before it could land.

"Oh great... just what we need." Naruto groaned. Sakura growled.

"There's too many of them for us to fight." She says.


Not too far from them, the Waopol pirates rescued them. After that, the Jester was looking through the mast with his binoculars. He then spotted an Island.

"Waopol, Come quickly"

"What is it now? Have you found that Pirate ship yet?" He asked.

"No, that isn't it, Wapol." The Jester said while putting down his binoculars. "At long last, we've returned to our kingdom!" Wapol's face lit up with a grin of pure joy. He's set on reclaiming the country he once governed.


Naruto: Luffy, I'll fight these guys...

Sakura: Yeah, we'll leave Nami to you.

Luffy: So, what should I do?

Sanji: Just dodge... dodge and run but don't retreat... you got it?

Luffy: Okay but that's really hard to do.

Usopp: What? You mean the witch is actually in the next town over?

Naruto: On the next Shiniboi X Strawhat... Are you happy? The doctor called Witch. I'm gonna be Hokage!

Luffy: And I am gonna be King of the pirates!


Oh boy... that was rough but I finished it. I am excited for the next few chapters. Question since I Canonized NaruSaku... should I Canonize LuNami yet? I am gonna make a poll and ask you guys. Until then, enjoy this chapter.
