King And Queen Of The Pirates

Nami Sick? Beyond the Snow Falling on the Sea!

"Guys, listen up. I will go to Elbaf someday, to the village of warriors!" Usopp declared.

"Yeah! I can't wait!" Luffy grinned, excited as well.

"How do they get so much energy? After everything's happened, I'm exhausted." Nami sighed and turned to Vivi, who was standing beside her. "Vivi, can you watch this for me?" Nami asked her and handed out the log pose to her.

"Sure." Vivi took it from Nami.

"You're on your way. Soon, you'll return to Alabasta, assuming that we make it there safely and without any more surprises." Nami smiled.

"Yes, everyone is counting on me. I have to." Vivi spoke.

"You'll get home but there's no need to push yourself so hard. You've got me!" Sanji said, coming out of the kitchen, carrying a tray of drinks and walked over to the girls. "Here, you go. Try these sweets, they'll help you relax. I've made some delicious tarts."

"Thank you." Nami and Vivi thanked him. Luffy, Usopp and Karoo immediately ran over to the chef. Sanji frowned and pointed to the kitchen.

"Yours are in the kitchen, now go!" The three of them quickly bolted heading to the kitchen. Sanji, Vivi and Nami heard footsteps above them and looked up to see Aya when she came out of the medical room.

"Aya, how is he?" Vivi asked her. Aya shook her head and walked over to the group.

"Not good. L's not going to make it all the way to Alabasta. He needs a doctor, now." She insisted.

"I've made some snacks. Are you hungry?" Sanji asked.

"Thank you but no."

"He'll be alright. L seems like a tough guy to let a bullet stop him." Sanji assured her.

"But it's my fault that he's hurt in the first place! I should've been more aware!" Aya shouted.

"Hey, nobody can see the future. These things happen. It's no one's fault but those damn agents. Stop blaming yourself. L made his choice to protect you, although I should've been the one-" Sanji said before he was cut off by Aya.

"Sanji, don't say that.."

"I better go and make sure those three idiots aren't making a mess in the kitchen. See you girls later." He walked away leaving the girls and went back to the kitchen.

"Nami? Are you alright?" Aya asked her.

"Just..tired."

"Damn it all! If only I was stronger, I wouldn't have left anyone hanging. I'm so weak. I've got to get stronger! Strong enough to cut through steel!" Zoro growled as he continued to train.

"Vivi, Aya, I'm sorry...but I need to lie down." Nami told them.

"I understand. Go and get some rest. I'll keep an eye on the log pose." Vivi spoke. Nami suddenly collapsed on the deck, startling Vivi and Aya who immediately rushed over to her.

"Nami!" Aya shouted. "She's not responding!" Vivi quickly felt Nami's forehead, and her eyes widened.

"She's burning up!" Vivi shouted. "Everyone, come quick!"

"Nami fell!" Aya shouted.

"What's wrong, Aya? Is everything okay?" Luffy asked concerned.

"Nami has an awful fever!" Vivi cried out. Luffy's eyes widened along with Sanji's and Usopp's.

"WHAT!? NAMI'S SICK!?" Luffy exclaimed.

"This is not good." Zoro frowned.

"It's most likely the climate. Sailors from the Grand Line aren't used to the strange water and can become quite ill. There are countless stories of tough victorious pirates who suddenly died. Their immune systems were attacked and ravaged by plagues and fevers. Ignoring a symptom can make even a slightest cold deadly." Vivi explained.
