"Heeeeeeey! Luffy!" Usopp yelled as he was coming down from the crow's nest on the Thousand Sunny. "Luffy! There's a person floating on a barrel!" He pointed after he was sure he had his captain's attention. "I saw her cough so she's still alive!"
Luffy leans over the rail and puts his hand over his eyes, scanning in the direction Usopp pointed until he saw the same thing, or enough of the same thing to know he was looking at it.
"I got it!" Luffy's arm stretched out across the sea, and he flinches a bit. "Oh. She grabbed my hand! Chopper!"
The commotion had been enough to get the attention of the rest of the crew, as Chopper came up from the boys' room, Sanji came out of the kitchen. Nami and Robin were coming down from the garden, while Brook, Jinbe and Franky came from the helm.
"Careful Luffy! If she's hurt a rough landing won't be good!" Chopper explains as Luffy's arm begins to return.
"Eh?!" Luffy's arm twists before he can reply to Chopper, and the person he's reeling in slams into him.
The two go head over heels a couple of times before Luffy is pinned to the grass, his arm twisted behind his back. A woman has him pinned down, her legs over his, his arm in her grip, and a broken and jagged piece of wood in her hand. Her long hair was plastered against her from the sea water, and fierce focused eyes were fixed on Luffy.
As soon as she seemed to register him, she released her grip and dropped the jagged piece of wood.
"My... apologies." She took a deep breath and shifted off of him, sitting on the grass. "You saved me, and I reacted poorly."
Luffy smiles. "It's okay."
"It's not like you were going to hurt our captain with a piece of wood." Robin muses.
The extra voice causes the woman to look around and take in the crew. Her brows knit at the sight of Jinbe and Franky, and she pales when she notices Brook.
"You're bleeding." Chopper says, coming over to her.
"I -." She freezes for a moment, before relaxing. "You're a... forest spirit?"
"Eh?"
"Chopper's our doctor." Luffy explains.
She seems to process this information for a moment before peeling her shirt off. There's a moment's commotion before everyone sees the state she's in.
There's extra binding over the bra she's still wearing, but her clothes, or lack thereof, are hardly noticed, even by Sanji. Bruises and small cuts litter her body, the deeper cut on her arm that Chopper noticed is hardly the worst injury among them.
"I am in need of a doctor." She admits, holding the sopping shirt against her chest. "I am in your care, Dr. Chopper."
She bows completely to the ground, having already been on her knees.
"Ah! Don't do that, you could hurt yourself worse." Chopper grows larger and gently picks up the surprised woman. "It's okay, I'm just going to take you to the sick bay so I can tend to you." He explains as he carries her off the deck and up through the kitchen.
"Oh, we didn't -." Nami starts but is interrupted by Usopp.
"MARINES!" Usopp yells pointing out across the water. He lowers his goggles and gets a better look. "Oh no... Luffy it's your grandfather's ship!"
"I'll prepare a Coup de Burst!" Franky announces.
"Nami!" Jinbe yells and the navigator nods as the two head to the helm.
