I'll give  you a picture of Chopper next time.

-----Luffy's POV-----

"I'm Tony Tony Chopper, the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates." Chopper said, then gestured to me."And this is my captain Luffy."

Chopper started talking before I even had a chance to. I don't mind... But still, I would have at least liked to give my name...

"Akainu!" I ended up yelling before I fell off my hammock, landing right on Chopper, then on the floor. Luckily, he was still out.

I had the terrible dream again. It felt so real I thought, I Akainu was going to give me another scar. I walked out of the cabin and onto the deck of the Thousand Sunny. It was still night, the stars flickering above. I looked down at my chest, my hand resting on the burnt flesh in the X pattern. Blackbeard... Akainu...

"Ace.." I ended up saying out loud.

"Luffy?" I heard Robin say from the crow's nest. I had forgotten she had the second half of the night watch. "What are you doing up? It's your third time this week." 

"Bad dream. nothing to big." I called up to her.

I stretched my arm up to the top of the main mast and sat there, looking out over the ocean. I didn't know why but it felt like my dream had meant something.

"Hey Robin!" I called down to her. She looked up. "Do you have any idea what something in my dream could mean?" I told her about my dream and repeated the words that the strange voice had said. "To the tree to meet the seven. To prevent everything from coming to an end. Or face the trauma again. Face the bad memories. Face the nightmares you've lived through again." 

Her eyes widened at those words. She crossed her arms, and next thing I knew I saw a trail of pale arms coming from the library, passing down a book. When the blue book finally got to her she opened it up to a page with a drawing of a white tree with blue leaves. Under it read the words from my dream. I jumped down to the crow's nest and looked at the book. Dawn light had started creeping up on the horizon when I had come to a decision. My crew had slowly started to rise including Chopper who looked slightly annoyed. I could understand why, waking up on the floor was never ideal. I told them about what I had planned on doing.

"I'm going to find that tree! I'm supposed to meet seven other people and it turns out it's not very far from here. I can make it on the Mini Merry."

They all looked surprised at what I had said, even I was a little bit.

-----Chopper's POV-----

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I thought it was because I had bumped my head I was hallucinating. Unfortunately, I wasn't. I looked at the others faces and I knew he had actually said it. Had that rubber man lost his mind!? He was going to go to a place he's never been before and meet up with complete strangers?! It could be dangerous...

"I'm coming with you!" I said amiss all the protests.

Everyone stopped and looked at me. That felt like it lasted ages.

"What? Luffy might need medical help if he's going, and I doubt he's going to find it from those other seven people." 

They continued to stare. Again... Ages... But soon enough Luffy grew a goofy grin and nodded.

"Ok then! Come on Chopper! We're going to find this tree!"
