A Land Without Doctors:
-x-
Luffy, Y/N, Usopp, Sanji, and Vivi were led through the snow towards the village. Y/N was carrying Nami on his back while Sanji was walking next to him carrying Ms. Valentine. Both of the sick women were wearing full length pajamas under heavy winter coats. Nami's coat was one that she had bought for herself, it had a white, yellow, and orange plaid pattern. Ms. Valentine was wearing one of the spare coats Y/N had bought in Loguetown, it was solid golden color and was big on the blond agent due to it being a man's coat.
"There is one thing I feel should warn you about," said the bull-like man with the goatee and the heavy green coat. His name was Dalton an he was the Head of Security on the island. "The only doctor we actually have here is a witch." The Straw Hats, Vivi, and Ms. Valentine were being led by Dalton and another dozen men as an escort. It was clear that the inhabitants of the island didn't trust pirates.
"Huh... a witch?" Usopp repeated.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Sanji grumbled as he carried Ms. Valentine across the snow. "Everything about this island is messed up."
"Well we're desperate," Y/N replied. "Witch or not, if she's a qualified doctor, we'll go see her. Who knows, she and Nami might get along famously." One of Nami's elbows was driven into Y/N's shoulder. "Ow... I thought you were unconscious. On your island you were known as a witch, that means you and the witch have that in common."
"What do you call this crazy place anyway?" Sanji asked.
"Actually, this land still doesn't have a name," Dalton admitted.
"An island without a name?" questioned Vivi. "I didn't know that was possible."
Dalton didn't answer, so their journey to the village was silent with the exception of numerous feet crushing the snow. Usopp eventually broke the silence when he let out a loud scream.
"AAAAAAHHH! A BEEAAAARRRR!" the sniper screamed. "Hurry everyone, play dead!" Usopp flopped to the ground and acted like he was dead, but he was the only one.
The rest of the group kept walking towards the odd bear. It was walking on its hind legs, was covered in grayish-white fur, and was using a pick axe as a walking stick.
"It's a Hiking Bear," Dalton explained. "He poses no threat. Don't forget to bow. It's proper manners." The group bowed the Hiking Bear and the bear bowed back while it walked passed in the opposite direction.
Y/N glanced to the side at Usopp who was still playing dead, "Should we just leave him there?" he wondered.
"He'll come after us eventually," Sanji reasoned.
"Hey Usopp," Y/N called over his shoulder as they walked off, "you'd better come with us or an abominable snowman will find you alone and eat you."
Usopp was instantly on his feet and was practically running after them. Dalton kept walking but wondering if it would be a good idea to tell the pirates that there was an abominable snowman on the island.

"Nice, that's much better," Zoro commented as he stared at the stitched up cuts that were on both of his legs. He was barefoot but was still wearing his long light blue winter coat. He was sitting on a box that he'd brought up onto the main deck. "Heh heh!"
"Quack," Carue quietly quacked as he stood on the deck wrapped in a blanket and watched the crazy swordsman.
"Finally I can start training seriously," said Zoro. "I was getting sick of that modified training I had to do with my stupid injury. Staying and guarding the ship is boring as hell." Zoro pulled off his coat and tossed it to the side, leaving him shirtless while revealing the scar he'd gotten on his chest from Hawk Eye Mihawk. "Maybe some ice-water swimming will clear my head a bit."
