Recap:

Mr. 0 pauses for a moment before speaking again, "Water Bearer is the most crucial part of our plan." Sanji pauses, wanting to know just what they were so desperately trying to take you for.

"DORRY!!" the giant Broggy wails, making everyone cover their ears and wincing from the loud booming voice. "Even him crying is so loud!!" Nami winces. "It's like a waterfall!" Zoro exclaims to you.

"Look! There's a rainbow behind him!!" You sweat drop, hearing Luffy's response, and at the fact it was true. "My ears...." Vivi winces and Mist nods in agreement. "I miss the water..." he mutters.

"I understand completely Master Broggy!!" Usopp wails, with tears in his eyes. Suddenly Dorry's hand twitches, and he rises, making Broggy stop crying and look at the male with his eyes practically popping out of his head. "EH?!" everyone screams.

"It seems...I passed out for a bit..." the giant groans. "Mr. Dorry!!" Mist and Vivi exclaim in unison. "YOU'RE ALIVE!!" you and Luffy cheer, pumping your fists in the air, and doing a little happy dance seeing the giant was alive.

"HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" Nami screeches, and Dorry looks down at his sword and Broggy's ax. "It's most likely...our weapons...."

Usopp nods in agreement. "I see! The weapons couldn't handle the stress of the duel that's been going on for a hundred years! Unbelievable..."

"Gababababa!" Broggy sobs and laughs at the same time, hugging Dorry. "Ouch, Broggy don't hug me so much! You're hurting my wounds!" You couldn't help but smile though when you saw Dorry was also smiling and crying as well.

"Gabababa! Let us thank the God of Elbaf! What a splendid day this is!!" the two males stop hugging and Dorry chuckles. "Ha, you that happy about landing that final blow on me?"

"You know that's not the reason you dumb ass!" Broggy laughs playfully punching Dorry in the shoulder. "Stop touching my wounds Gyayayaya!"

"Gabababa!"

Nami sighs, hands on her hips as she watches the two playfully hit one another back and forth before it becomes serious and they stand. "You intend to start something!?" Broggy growls. "I intend to crush you flat alright!" Dorry yells back.

"DON'T START A FIGHT ALREADY!!" Nami hisses.

After the two calmed down and went back to being friends, Nami, Vivi and you had helped bandage up their wounds, and told Dorry about why Mr. 3 had been after them. Hearing that they were after their bounties, he laughs.

"Gegyagyaygya! We had completely forgotten about the bounties on our heads!" he says, and Vivi looks down. "It's all because I came to the island though...OW OW!" Nami tugs on Vivi's cheek. "There will be none of that!"

"Yeah Vivi! No need to be so down!" you say biting into a rice cracker. You are sitting on the grass in between Luffy, Usopp and Karoo, with Mist just sweat dropping as he stood next to the four of you. "Where did you even get those...?"

"See?" Nami says, gesturing to the silly group. "Nobody blames you for anything." Luffy sits up, "Let's have a rice cracker party!!!" he declares, raising the rice cracker high, "Kanpai!" he hits his rice cracker against yours making it break and fall onto the ground in pieces.

"Oi Luffy!" You whine, "Don't do that!!" You quickly brush off the pieces, with a sigh. "Don't waste food..." you mutter before eating it. "Oi! Who said you can eat it?! Gimme!" Luffy yells trying to grab it from you. "No way! Mine!"

Luffy tries to grab it from you only for Usopp to swipe it from both of you and eat it right in front of you. "USOOPPP!!!" you both scream before tackling the male on the ground. "MIST HELP MEEEE!!" Mist yelps when Usopp pulls him down onto the ground and it turns into an all out brawl.

Vivi smiles, seeing how energetic you all were. Nami suddenly winces, looking down and seeing a bug bit her side. "You okay?" Zoro asks noticing this. "Yeah, it's nothing just a bug!" she says. "Anyways, we can't wait here for a whole year, so what are we going to do?"

"Nami-swaaan~! Vivi-chwaaan~! Y/n-chaaaan~! And you other guys!!"

You all look and see Sanji puffing little heart shaped smoke clouds. "Oh! Sanji-san!!" you wave happily while Usopp, Karoo and Mist growl at the male, all of you breaking up from the brawl. "You bastard!!" Usopp growls. "Shows up now huh?!" Mist huffs, while Karoo squawks angrily.

"Thank goodness you're okay~! WHOA!" his eyes widen seeing the giants. "ARE YOU MR. 3?!" he points to Dorry accusingly. "How do you know about Mr. 3?" Nami asks only for Sanji's eyes to turn to hearts. "OH!! NAMI-SWAN!!"

Sanji is quick to offer his blazer to the female, so she can cover up before sitting down. "All that aside, I just finished talking to Mr. 0 on a transponder snail." Vivi gasps. "You talked to the boss?!"

"Yeah, I found some weird hideout, and I guess he took me for Mr. 3. I told him we were all dead." You groan. "Man! Just when we lose our pursuers we can't even leave the island!"

Sanji blinks a few times in surprise. "Why? Do we have unfinished business on the island?" he sighs. "And just when I managed to get a hold of this." Sanji reaches into his pocket and pulls out an Eternal Pose to Alabasta.

Everyone's jaws literally drop to their waists, including yours and Mist's, confusing Sanji for a moment before Luffy was first to cheer, "It's an Eternal Pose to Alabasta!!"

"Yahoo! We can leave!!"

"Thank you Sanji-san!" Vivi cries happily, hugging the male. "I was so worried for a moment!" Sanji blushes with his heart eyes bulging and his nose twitching as if he's about to have a nosebleed. "Y-you're welcome, hehe! I'm glad it made you happy!"

"Let's have a rice cracker party!!!" Luffy yells once more, handing one to Nami as they tap crackers before Usopp frowns seeing the bag. "Luffy, we only have three left! We can't have a rice cracker party!"

"Well there's no time anyways!" Nami clears her throat. "Come on Captain! We have to set sail!" she shoves the cracker in Luffy's mouth, and you frown, becoming a bit angered at the gesture for some odd reason.

Sanji stands up, "Oi Zoro!" he yells, making the moss headed male turn. "You haven't forgotten about our hunting contest I hope?" Zoro smirks, "No! But I win! I caught a rhino this big!" the male spreads his arms out wide making Sanji huff. "That big huh? Yeah right."

'Hunting contest?' the two giants repeat in their heads. 'Sounds familiar somehow........'

"Alright, bye round old guy and giant old guy!" Luffy waves to the two giants, "Bye you guys!!" you wave. "I'll visit Elbaf someday Master Broggy!!" Usopp yells.

"I'm telling you, mine is bigger!"

"No! Look closer! Mine is bigger!"

Sanji was standing on his large lizard with Zoro on his large rhino, the two arguing about who has the bigger prey of course. "Are you blind or something?! My rhino is way bigger!"

Luffy was on the ship with you and the rest of the crew. "It doesn't really matter! They both look yummy!"

"SHUT UP!" the two yell in unison before going back to arguing. "Look! Mine's bigger!"

"No, mine is!"

Nami sighs, having a light blue shirt on now and watching the two with her arms crossed. "How long are you gonna keep at it? We don't even need all of it so cut up what we do and let's set sail!" Mist just shakes his head in disapproval. "Y/n, can't you stop them?"

"Yes Nami-swan~!" Sanji yells. Zoro looks up to Usopp and you. "Oi Usopp, Y/n! I'm clearly the winner right?!" Usopp turns to the green haired male, back against the railing. "Huh? I don't really care." he shrugs.

Vivi speaks up, "Can't you call it a tie?" you sweat drop. "They're the same size..."

"HURRY UP!!!" Nami screeches, scaring both of them as they quickly loaded the animals' meat and raised anchor to set sail. Once the ship was moving, Nami explained what was going to happen next. "If we sail straight, it'll take us to the western end of the island."

"Aw man! Couldn't you have saved more meat?" Luffy frowns despite the fact the ship was creaking loudly from the weight. "That's all we can store..." Mist mutters, sweat dropping. It's then everyone realizes that Mist is a human.

"YOU'RE REALLY A HUMAN?!" Everyone screams, including you, backing away from the pink haired male. "YOU JUST REALIZED THIS?! OI WHY ARE YOU BACKING AWAY TOO Y/N?!"

"Y-You never told me about this! Just- how?!" you say, getting closer and examining the male. "It's a winged fruit power!" he says, before Nami comes over, lifting the male's arms up and poking his sides. "Your build isn't that bad either...And you're kinda cute!" she says with a wink, before Vivi comes over and gently ruffles his hair. "Oh..! It's so soft!" she says in awe, making eye contact with Mist and causing him to blush, looking away and swatting at the three of you. "H-hey! Back off! I-I'll go back to being a dolphin soon enough!"

Sanji growls, a fire burning in his eyes as he stared at the male, "You'd better!" he hisses, jealous of the attention the male was receiving. You grin, shaking your head. "No! If you go back to being a dolphin then I'll never speak to you again!"

"EH?! THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" he whines. "Just until the trip to Alabsata is over! Then you can go back to being a little sea critter!" Nami chuckles darkly. 'I bet he'd make a good thief....Throwing off girls with that innocent face~'

Luffy, who was watching how you were playing around with the male, frowned looking away, trying to take his mind off the mystery feeling and noticing the two giants ahead. "Oh look! The old guys came to say goodbye again!"

However, something was off. The two giants were facing outwards to the sea. "The reason that people who come to Little Garden and don't reach the next island," Dorry begins. "Is because ahead lies a great beast." Broggy finishes.

"You fought desperately to protect our pride."

"So, in turn, we will fight to protect yours, friends!"

"Have faith in us, and continue straight ahead!!"

Luffy grins, everyone's attention on the two giants in front of them. "Got it!" Zoro raises an eyebrow. "What's going on?" Luffy merely replies, "No matter what, we'll keep going straight ahead!" Once the ship passes the two giants, Dorry and Broggy draw their weapons. "This is goodbye. We hope to meet in the future."

"Look at that!" Mist yells, his pupils dilated in shock seeing a large fish like creature, making Dorry and Broggy growl. "So you've returned, Island Devourer." they raise their weapons. "In the name of Elbaf, we vow to clear a path!"

The large creature has white scales, with a red splatter like pattern over it's left eye, and two large beady eyes staring down the ship, it's mouth slightly and red fins. "AAH!! IT'S MIST'S COUSIN!!" Luffy screams, earning a smack on the back of the head from the said dolphin boy. "SHUT UP!" he hisses.

"It looks like a large goldfish!!" you scream, making Usopp sweat nervously. "A-A giant goldfish?! W-why does that sound familiar?!" Karoo squawks and the rest of the crew screams in panic. "Hurry and turn the rudder!" Nami yells. "I-I can't! S-straight ahead, right Luffy?!"

Luffy nods, "Of course!" hearing this, you can't help but calm down slightly. Normally you would've been using your powers, but you had faith in the giants' word. Luffy sits down on his special seat and this only makes Nami more scared seeing how close they were getting in the mouth. "Don't be stupid! This isn't like what happened with Laboon!"

"Yeah, I know." Luffy shrugs. "Here. I'll let you have the last rice cracker." he tosses it to the female who easily catches it. "I told you I don't want it!" Zoro opens the door for Karoo to run in, who was the most panicked of all before Zoro sighs, leaning against the wall next to it. "Give it up, Nami."

Nami whimpers and bites down on the rice cracker, seeing all hope was lost. "Are we really heading straight into that beast?!" Vivi cries seeing it was too late as they were in the mouth. You gasp shutting your eyes tightly when the mouth closes and the Going Merry is engulfed in darkness.

"GO STRAIGHT AHEAD! STRAIGHT!" Usopp sobs, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WE'VE ALREADY BEEN EATEN!!" Nami screams.

Suddenly there is a bright blue and red lights, that pass over the Merry and blast a hole through the large fish.

"Hakoku Sovreignity!"

"AH! WE'RE FLYING!!" you and Luffy scream, but of course you did out of terror, he did out of laughter. You hug onto the male, not daring to look. "Don't look back!" he laughs. "Of course not!!" you screech.

Nami was crying tears of relief, and Mist just grins, glad to see they weren't to be eaten today. Usopp was crying as well, but smiling proudly. "They...They even cut the sea! This is the strength of Elbaf warriors!!"

"Elbaf warriors! Elbaf warriors!" Luffy and Usopp dance on the railing singing "Elbaf Warriors" over and over again. Nami pants lightly, leaning against the mast as she felt exhausted. "Man....They're so full of energy.." Nami puts a hand on her forehead, to check her temperature. "I'm suddenly really exhausted....Vivi, can you watch the compass for me?" she asks handing the blue haired female the Eternal Pose.

"Yeah." Mist walks over, "I'll help out. It'll do some good for me to teach Y/n how to read a Log Pose anyways, right?" He looks over at you, and his eyes widen slightly seeing you were on the ground, cheeks tinted a light red, "Yeah..." you mutter quietly, standing.

"We got it Nami.." you say with a weary smile. The female nods, trying to focus her vision but finding it rather blurry...

Sanji was in the kitchen with Usopp, Luffy and Karoo who were stuffing their faces with Sanji's famous cooking, well baking this time around with delicious pastries. Zoro was outside by Nami's tangerine trees, training.

"2603! 2604! 2605!" Zoro grunts, panting as he was shirtless and stepping forward while swinging down a large silver pole with at least 7 tons of weight. "What're you doing Zoro?" you ask.

He looks down at you, stopping to catch his breath. "I'm weak...If I could've cut that wax....I wouldn't have left anyone hanging!" he raises the weights again. "So I'm gonna get stronger!" You smile at this, "Hey mi-" you wince suddenly hearing a loud ringing noise in your ears and gasping as your vision blurs.

"Hm? Oi, you okay?"

Suddenly you hear a thump and Nami's lying on the deck, her face red and panting heavily. "Everyone come quick! This is bad! Nami has a bad fever!" Vivi cries. Usopp, Luffy and Sanji pop out of the kitchen, faces stuffed. "OH! NAMI-SWAN?!"

Everyone gathers around the tangerine headed female, worried for her health. You yourself were feeling a bit off, your forearm shaking but paid no mind. You were probably just a little cold...

"Is Nami-swan going to die, Vivi-chwan?" Sanji sobs, seeing Nami in bed as Mist soaked a small cloth in cold water before giving it to Vivi to place on Nami's forehead. "It's most likely the climate. One obstacle people run into at the Grand Line is the strange weather."

Mist grimaces looking down at the female with worry. "There are plenty stories of strong pirates who died from these mysterious illnesses." Vivi looks up at the crew. "Is there anyone with any sort of medical knowledge?"

You shake your head, and you, Usopp and Luffy point to Nami. "But eating meat makes the sickness go away! Right, Sanji?" Luffy asks, making the blonde stop sobbing temporarily. "I could make some basic food meant for sick people, but there's no guarantee it'll make her better."

He looks down at the female. "Besides, I put 100 times more care into Nami-swan, Vivi-chwan and Y/n-chan's food. I give them the fresh meat and make sure everything's healthy balanced." he points to Usopp and Luffy. "You guys get the rotting food."

"Well it's still good though!" Luffy grins. During this time, Mist takes Nami's temperature only to nearly drop it seeing it. "40?! Her temperature's gone up again!" he exclaims making Vivi gasp. "But there'll be doctors in Alabasta right?" Usopp asks. "How long will it take to get there?"

Vivi looks down. "I don't know......But a week is out of the question."

Luffy hums looking to Sanji and Usopp. "Is being sick that bad?" the two turn their heads making a puzzled look.

"Don't know, never been sick." They chorus.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?!" Vivi screeches. You slowly raise your hand. "I've been sick before, if it's any comfort.

"It's not!!" Vivi and Mist yell. "It doesn't change the fact that 104 degree fevers don't happen every day! It may be a life threatening illness!!"

"AAAHHH!!" the three males scream. "NAMI'S GONNA DIE!!" Karoo and Usopp start crying and running around the room while Sanji was sobbing, hands clasped together while Luffy was shaking you around by the shoulders like a madman. "CALM DOWN!!" Vivi screeches.

"WE NEED TO HURRY AND FIND NAMI A DOCTOR!!" Luffy yells, finally letting you go as you try stop your world from spinning. "Calm down you guys!" you yell in a daze. "You could worsen her condition."

"No."

Everyone turns to face Nami, who slowly sits up. "Nami!" Mist says in surprise. "Yay!! Nami got better!" Luffy cheers, earning a smack on the head from Usopp. "Idiot! She's not better!" Nami takes the towel off her forehead. "There's a newspaper in my desk." she says to Vivi.

Vivi grabs the paper and her eyes widen in horror. "That can't be...." she says slowly. "300,000 of the royal armed forces switched sides to join the Rebels?! Originally the 600,000 strong royal armed forces could contain the rebels, with only 400,000... The situation's changed completely!" Nami looks down, trying to catch her breath. "The situation in Alabasta is at it's most critical phase..."

Nami turns to the rest of the crew. "That paper was from three days ago. Sorry for not showing you right away. I didn't want to worry you. Do you understand Luffy?" Luffy crosses his arms over his chest nodding. "Sounds bad."

"Wow...I got more through than I thought.." the tangerine female chuckles softly in surprise. "But we need to get you to a doctor soon Nami!" you add, only for her to stop you. "I'm fine. That old thermometer is broken. There's no way someone would have a fever of 40. It's probably just heat stroke or something. I'll get better without seeing a doctor."

She stands up, waving it off and trying to act tough, but everyone besides Luffy could see right through the act. "Anyways, we'll continue to head to Alabsta. But, thanks for worrying about me." she manages a weak smile before heading up to the deck.

"So...She's better now?"

"Of course not!" Usopp scoffs. "She's just trying to act tough!" Vivi was shaking in anger, on the floor and clenching the newspaper tightly. "If I don't stop this....Alabasta will be taken over by Crocodile! It's no good to come back safe...I need to get there as quickly as possible!" she whimpers.

Meanwhile, out on the deck, Zoro had been "keeping watch" of the direction the ship was going. "What are you even looking at?!" Nami yells. "Huh?! What do you mean? The ship is heading straight!" Zoro exclaims. "No it's not! You need to be looking at the needle!" Nami points furiously at the Eternal Pose.

"I've been watching that cloud over there," Zoro reasons.

"Clouds can move and change shape!!!" Nami groans, wincing as she had both hands on her forehead. "Ah...My head hurts...." Zoro tched. "That's why I said go get rest and I'll take care of things."

"How can I when you can't even tell which direction the ship's going?!" Nami's eyes narrow suddenly. "The wind's changed..." she mutters. "Huh? What're you talking about? The weather's been nice all day!"

"Just call everyone out here!"

Zoro yells, "Oi everyone! Come out we have work to do!" With that, you, Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, Karoo, and Mist run out to the deck. "Take the helm and steer for south." Zoro says. Sanji looks up at the male with a sigh. "What? I don't feel like taking orders from you." he leans against the mast of the ship.

"Just shut up and do it!" he hisses. "Lower the sails so we can catch the wind from the port side!" Usopp nods. "Got it! Let's go Mist!" and with that the two run off to fix the sail. You look up at Nami. "What's wrong Nami-swan?" Sanji asks. "The weather is nice!"

"I have a feeling...There's going to be a strong wind. Probably..."

Luffy goes up to Nami, and puts his hand on her forehead, only for him to yell out in pain and pull his hand back, now throbbing and red. "So hot!! We really do need to take you to a doctor!!" Nami yells back, "That's just my normal temperature!! Now hurry up and get the ropes!"

Sanji tries to convince Nami as well, "Nami-swan I know you're doing this all for Vivi-chwan but you shouldn't push yourse-"

"I said I'm fine! Just turn this ship around and be quiet!" she yells, before Vivi comes out from the room. "I have a request from all of you. I know I am a passenger on your ship, and it's wrong of me to ask, but the situation in my country has worsened. Not even a single moment can be wasted anymore! That's why, I ask for the ship to move at it's fastest speed to Alabasta!"

Everyone went silent, having negative feelings on this due to Nami's health. Nami grins, despite the pounding headache she has, "Of course! Just like we promised!" Luffy was about to say something against the idea but Vivi cut him off. "That's why we need to find an island with a doctor immediately!"

She smiles. "We need to help Nami get better immediately! That's the only way this ship gets to Alabasta at it's fastest, right?" Luffy grins, nodding. "Yeah! Can't get any faster than that!" Sanji grins. "Well said Vivi-chwan. I've fallen for you all over again."

Mist can't help but smile and elbow you playfully in the shoulder. You smile back to the male, who frowns seeing your tired expression. "You okay...?" he asks but before you can answer, Luffy screams. "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!"

Everyone turns and sees a large cyclone. "Whoa..! That's in the direction we were going! We would've hit that!!" Nami collapses, and Vivi catches the female, letting Nami lean against her. Lightning stroke the sea, as the waves picked up. 'This navigator....She's amazing! She doesn't just read the weather....she can predict it and notice even the slightest changes!!'

"Alright!! Let's find a doctor!!" Luffy cheers, "Yeah!!" everyone yells as the ship moves away safely from the cyclone.

Snow began to fall, making everyone bundle up in thick sweaters. Vivi and Mist are inside treating Nami with Sanji, and the rest of the crew was outside, trying to deal with the cold. You, in particular, were having great difficulty.

Ever since you'd left Little Garden, you'd been getting strange headaches and it's been hard to move your body in the cold. You'd never been a fan of the cold in the first place, and this was just odd. Hopefully, no one noticed.

Zoro was on top of the mast, looking out for any islands they could stop at. "Oiiii!! Zoroooo!! See any doctors?" Luffy shouts from below on the deck with Usopp. "You really think he can hear you...?"

Zoro looks in surprise, lowering the binoculars and looking down at the three of you below. "Hey guys. Do you think people can stand on the ocean?"

Usopp sighs. "Come on Zoro what kind of question is...." his words trail off when he sees you, and Luffy and Zoro stare at you as well. You blink in surprise for a moment before it hits you. "O-oi! Obviously that's not me!!" You hiss.

"Then, what's that?" Zoro looks through the binoculars again and the three of you look forward and see in the distance a man with a purple and green fur coat and bow and arrows on his back. He has a jester's hat and is clearly standing on the water.

"Huh?!"

To Be Continued.........
