6. THE CHEF AND THE CHORE BOY

We had to move him. There was no way we could help him outside so we carried him onto the ship. Who cares about the health standards. "Easy, easy! Easy. Easy. Don't drop him." Nami said to the boys.

"I didn't. He's really heavy. I mean, he's got a really big head. It's, like, freakishly big." Usopp said to us and I looked at him.

"That doesn't matter at all." I said to him, the only thing that mattered was saving Zoro's life.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Nami asked him, I'm glad that she wasn't taking that crap either.

"Zoro? Hey, can you hear me?" Luffy asked him and he got nothing in response.

"Where's the first aid kit?" Usopp asked us, I'd never seen one.

"Do we have a first aid kit?" Nami asked and I looked at her. I hadn't left Zoro's side. Still holding his hand.

"I've never seen one on here." I said to them.

"Zoro?" Luffy asked as he walked away. I then pulled back Zoro's shirt with with Nami.

"These are all I could find. Where's the bleeding from?" Usopp asked and there was a lot of blood.

"Everywhere." Nami and I said to him.

"We need more towels." Usopp said to us. We needed something else.

"We need a doctor." Nami said to him.

"God, knows he's needs a doctor." I said to them both. Luffy was standing back now. He was in shock.

"Last I checked, we don't have one." Usopp said and that's all I didn't need to hear.

"Luffy? Luffy! Someone needs to go back to Baratie." Nami said to him, we had a chance of finding someone there.

"Um, I'm really not that hungry right now, Nami." He said to her and I shook my head. Not for that.

"Not for food. Maybe one of the customers is a ship's doctor." Nami said to him.

"And we need one now." I said to him and he looked at us.

"Right. A doctor. We need a doctor." Luffy said and he left for the Baratie. I hope he came back with someone.

"Zoro, hold on. Luffy has gone to get help." I said to him and I saw Nami and Usopp look at each other before looking at me. Nami and I then got a towel and put pressure on his wounds. When Luffy came back I saw who he'd brought.

"A chef. Really?" I asked him, this wasn't the doctor we needed.

"Are you kidding? He needs a doctor." Nami said to him and the chef then took over from us.

"Do you wanna save your swordsman friend or not?" He asked, then I saw Sanji walk in. He had a fish and a set of knives.

"Is that to sterilize the wounds?" Usopp asked him and clearly it wasn't.

"Hell, no. That'd be a waste of really good liquor. Beautiful." The chef said and he started to prepare the fish. This wasn't helping Zoro. "Needle." He said and he started to stitch Zoro up. "Fish skin." He said and he put it over the wounds. "This is an old seaman's trick. The fish skin helps staunch the wounds and heals the flesh a lot faster." He said to us and that seemed like a bunch of bull.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Usopp asked him and he had to be okay.

"Look, I'm not gonna lie to you. He's lost a lot of blood. It might be too late for him." He told us and he was lying.

"But there's a chance it's not too late." I said to them, that's what I had to believe.

"But it might not be." Luffy said to him and at least someone was thinking like me.
