"Sanji!!"
Sanji's body tensed up for a second before he was able to capture the contentment in Luffy's voice.
The cheerful Captain sounded happier than ever.
He glided his fingers around the edges of his straw hat and smiled even wider, warming the hearts of everyone around him.
"How did you get this back? I left it back in the Sunny."
He questioned, adjusting the hat onto his head.
"Let's just say I made a quick pit stop to pick this up for you. Now you could make a better entrance when we go back to the Sunny."
The Cook's response teleported Luffy back to reality, reminding him that he would eventually be reunited with his crewmates.
His muscles retracted instantly when his excitement came to an end.
He was now left with a feeling of uncertainty, wondering what his friends would opinionate on his return, and if they found out about anything related to his disappearance.
"Luffy? Why the sad face? I thought you'd be happy to go back to the Sunny."
Sanji asked, waving his hand over the young man's eyes.
"I told him the same thing a few minutes ago. Seems to me that your Captain isn't so sure about leaving, yet."
Law noted, looking down at Luffy.
His gaze appeared to be lost as it drifted off to the ground, beneath him.
"Tell me honestly, is it really alright to take him back to the ship yet?"
The Cook murmured in a secretive manner to Law when Luffy wasn't paying attention to them.
"I ran a thorough examination on him earlier, and all of the results indicate that his body is healing just fine."
The Surgeon responded, using a deep yet silent voice that wasn't loud enough for Luffy to hear, but was audible enough for Sanji to perceive with his hearing as their conversation went on.
"Patients who undergo the surgeries that he's had usually take two days to heal.
With his type of body, however, he's sure to recover a whole lot faster than any other normal person would.
But that doesn't mean that he doesn't run the risk of a potential fracture or infection. He's made of rubber, not copper or titanium.
A human body can only take so much, and both of yours exceeded the amount of damage that..."
Wanting to be detailed but not to the point of bringing back bad memories to neither Sanji or Luffy, Law held back on saying words that could potentially trigger the young men.
"In short, you guys are abnormally strong. It's impressive, really."
He spoke, walking back to Luffy.
"Mugiwara-ya, I'm gonna put you up here, but this time I'm using my powers, so try not to move. This won't take long."
Nodding his head at him, Luffy prepared himself to be transported from the wheelchair to the hospital bed.
"Room... Shambles!"
Trading places with an extra pillow to place the young Captain onto the hospital bed, the Surgeon's powerful ability had successfully transferred Luffy onto the flat bed.
The bed felt cold as it came in contact with Luffy's legs that were lacking a pair of pants.
All that he had on was a long, dark green hospital gown.
