Chapter Eighty Four ~ Crazy Days

~Third~

The fight was over, Usopp had put up a good fight but Luffy laid him down flat with a single punch "At least it's over now"Zoro said, Nicole nodded in agreement, "You idiot, you knew it would end like this, you knew you could never beat me!"Luffy said and walked away, he grabbed his hat "Do whatever you want with the Merry, i won't let anything hold us back, we're getting a new ship and sailing forward"Luffy said and continued walking away.

"Chopper leave him alone"Sanji said stopping the reindeer as he tried getting off the ship "What are you saying? He was already hurt before the fight if i don't help him who knows what'll happen!"Chopper said getting off the ship but Sanji stopped him again "He isn't a part of our crew anymore"Sanji said.

"So what i'm a doctor it's my job to treat him!"Chopper said turning to his human form but Sanji pinned him down "It's bad enough he lost the duel you pity him in a time like this you'll end up hurting him more then any of those injuries"Sanji said and Chopper started crying "I'm sure you have good intention but all we can do now is give him dignity in defeat, he knew that when he challenged Luffy to a dual this is how it might end"Sanji said.

Luffy came back over to the ship "It's too much"he said his jaw clenched "This is what it means to be captain you can't doubt yourself in times like these you lose your competence then who can we have faith in"Zoro said, Chopper ran off the ship to give Usopp medical supplies "Let's pack our things and go, you know as well as me that after tonight we can never return to the ship again"Zoro said.

The Strawhats rather what was left of them had left their ship and packed their things leaving the Merry empty, they had found a place to stay in at least, the sun was high in the morning sky as Sanji stepped out to the roof of the hotel they had been staying in, "So this is where you've been"he said.

"We went through all the trouble of renting a room and no one's using it, guess nobody could sleep huh? And where's Luffy?"Sanji asked walking over "Over there"Chopper said, Luffy was on the next building over just sulking on the roof "So where were you?"Chopper asked "I kept look out around the rocky cape all night i wanted to be there incase Robin came back "Oh"Chopper said.

"She never said anything about leaving i wonder where she went"Sanji said "Ever since we go to this island it's been one bad thing after the other our money was stolen and then there's everything that happened to poor Usopp, he was injured he could barely even stand up and by now on top of everything else he's probably got a fever"Chopper said.

"Chopper that's enough okay, don't talk about him anymore"Zoro said, Nicole sighed leaning on his shoulder opening her eyes "No sign of her"she said "Which mean?"Zoro asked "Either she's outside my radar, something is blocking her voice or"Nicole trailed off.

"I think i'll try looking for her in town today"Sanji said "Do you think we're gonna find her?" Chopper asked "Who knows it's not like i have any place specific in mind to check out i just feel certain she's still here somewhere, if anything should happen we should use this inn as our meet up point"Sanji said.

"I wanna help i'm gonna come too"Chopper said "Alright then come on"Sanji said "Luffy!"Nami said barging on to the roof "Nami what's wrong?"Sanji asked "It's awful, the whole cities talking about it, Luffy listen to me last night something terrible happened to Iceburg"Nami said.

"Ice pops from the shipyard?"Luffy asked "Yes i've heard he's still unconscious"Nami said "I thought everyone in this entire city loved that guy, why him?"Luffy wondered "Who are you talking about?"Sanji asked "He's the nice man that helped us out so much yesterday the president of the ship building company as well as the mayor of Water 7"Nami said.
