It was a long tunnel, only barely lit with old lamps that wouldn't even illuminate a small room, not to speak about this giant tunnel. But it was enough for the little doctor who sneaked along, pressed to the far end, trying his best to stay out of the light.
Whenever a noise could be heard he stood still, holding his breath, listening intently if someone approached him... but nothing.
Sometimes he would think to see shadows in front of the lights, far away and again the reindeer would stop in his track and freeze. Again nothing.

He was afraid. A lot. But after a moment he pressed on, sneaking slowly towards his destination.
He sniffed again a bit, holding his nose up. There it was, he could smell his friends. And he followed the small trail. It had been lucky that he hasn't been caught. It had been lucky that he was so small and it had been lucky that he was now on his way to rescue his friends.

His friends that would praise him for being so heroic as to rescue them. And how they would give him all the cotton candy in the world as a thank you and everyone would cuddle him. Not that it would make happy or anything!
This would be easy... if it weren't for his fear... but he had to do it! As their doctor he had to take care of their well being! And so he continued to sneak along the long tunnel.
That is until the tunnel split.

"Oh... what to do now?"

He sniffed and he could smell his friends in both directions... why couldn't this be easier... ?
He huffed and decided to use the left passage. He needed to find Luffy first because everything would be easier then. And Luffy was to the left.
