The Elemental Fox [Marco x Luffy]

Recovery (After the war)

Slowing down and resting after the war, a little a bit on what was going on at Moby DIck.

Hi, hi, HollowSea here with an update. I have posted like all the prewritten stories so subsequent chapters are going to take longer. But here's a chapter.

Enjoy~

Once they boarded the ship, the nurses dragged the two brothers down to the infirmary, ignoring their protests. But eventually they gave in since Luffy was already on board and safe.

While some of the newer and younger nurses were left on one of their islands in the new world for safety. Their head nurse and older, longer members insisted they came to help with the wounded pirates.

Sabo was mostly tired due to his endeavours in Impel Down with cuts and bruises from the war. Ace, however, was in an uglier state thanks to his one week imprisonment. He had lost quite a lot of weight and had bruises and cuts from both the torture and war. Finally, both of them had horrible burns from Akainu's magma.

But they were allowed to leave the infirmary under the condition that they take it easy and rest since there were so many wounded people with worse, life threatening wounds.

Though, right when they're about to leave, Marco comes in carrying Luffy. He had the raven in his arms, bridal style with his head on the blond's shoulder. Blood was still dripping from the severe wound around his midsection from the seastone 'javelin'-thingy but it had slowed significantly.

After oyaji passed Luffy to him, Marco had to get someone to help him remove the many holsters and weapons attached to the raven. Luffy's soft snoring could be heard through his shallow breaths and honestly even though he's bleeding had slowed, Marco is still worried his breathing might just suddenly slow to a stop.

So once they got every weapon off, he ordered them to keep it in his room (if it still exists) and rushed to the infirmary.

On the way there, he met many of his brothers who had been treated and were safe enough to leave the infirmary. Jozu was one of them, walking past and greeting him, looking happy even though he lost an arm. Some regarded the raven in his arms with appreciative or curious looks. Now that he thinks about it, a lot of them don't know who he is while the commanders probably wanted to know who he is.

Once Marco arrived at the surprisingly intact infirmary, he kicked the door of the infirmary open, revealing many wounded patients and busy nurses. There were more wounded compared to usual yet they had less nurses present for this war. The instant he entered, his senses were immediately bombarded with scents of blood and disinfectants. Orders from the head nurse and moans of pain from the patients could be heard.

""Luffy!"" Marco heard before two of his brothers were standing in front of him looking worriedly at the raven in his arms.

"Is he okay?!" Ace asked urgently.

"He won't be, if you two don't leave NOW!" Whiskey, the head nurse shouted from behind them as she approached.

Ace winced at that, the head nurse was scary, really scary. Even the first mate would do his best to not trigger her ire but it was what made her suitable to handle oyaji.

"But-" Sabo started, ignoring his fear. Marco's brain uselessly supplied him with a memory of the two of them being strung up like clothes to dry by Whiskey after they wounded each other severely in a fight.

"No! Get out!" She ordered, frowning, "I don't have time to argue with you two about this!"

"He'll be fine, go wait outside and rest yoi," Marco told them firmly. They reluctantly left the infirmary, pouting. Knowing better than to argue with the first mate and busy nurses.
