The moonlight shinned down upon the waters surface reflection the moon above. A flag flapping into the wind up in the sky as the straw hat jolly roger, flew proudly on top of the Sunny. Drifting along the waters, everyone seemed to be in high spirits laughing and dancing having a good time. A rowboat was drifting along the same waters, a lone hooded figure shifted a bit from laying along the bottom of the rowboat. Hearing the banquet going on, their head lifted up from the rowboat noticing the ship. Slightly shifting to the side staring at the sunny in amusement, hearing the music. Then looking up at the top of the ship to see who was coming his way. The Jolly Roger of a skull with crossbones with a straw hat upon the tip of the skull. The pirate group known as 'The Straw hats' or also known as 'The Mugiwara Pirates' were going to sail right pass the rowboat. 'The Thousand Sunny' was a large ship made out of legendary material called Adam wood. A large yellow lion head with a sun-like mane design face sits at the front of the ship.
The Sunny was coming up close, a thin pair of fingers grip along a rope. Standing up slightly as the figure swayed a bit, unbalanced in the rowboat before catching themselves standing still watching the Sunny getting closer. Tossing the rope with a curved metal piece tied at the end of the rope at the Sunny being attached also to the rowboat. The first time missing only making it just outside of the rowboat. Panting a bit using what strength they had to quickly pull the rope back into the rowboat and quickly spun the reop around before tossing it once more as the ship continued to sail pass. It took two more tries before the piece of metal attached to Sunny's backside. The rope quickly tightened carrying the rowboat with a heavy jolt to the rowboat. Sending the figure back into the rowboat having no more strength left, passing out from exhaustion.
The rowboat followed through the night, being dragged along. As the sun washed over the water splashing along the bottom of the ship. The crew were laying in their beds from the night before sleeping soundly. In the morning, Robin was heading to her chair in the back of the ship with a book in hand. Looking out into the water seeing the colors of the sky mixing with the water's surface. Brook walked up holding a small plate and a cup of tea. "Good Morning Robin." Brook smiled, with his skeleton grin. Robin smiled back, "Good Morning, Brook." Brook tilted his head some looking over to the side pass Robin. "OH?.. What's that?" Robin stared at Brook for a moment, "Huh?" She turned around to look at what Brook was seeing. A rope was attached to Sunny's backside a rowboat violently splashing against the waves far behind them.
"That's odd, Seems we have someone that tried to board the ship and kill us in our sleep.. Or at least tried to board the ship." Robin stared out at the rowboat, as Brook sipped some of his tea calmly. "Miss... you frighten me to the bones.." Robin smiled with a soft chuckle, "It has been a while since anything has happened.. Why don't we greet our guest? Might be fun." Brook placed the tea cup down into the railing of the ship shaking as his bones rattled slightly. "That is true we haven't had a problem for a while.. G-g-greet them?! If they are trying to kill us why would we purposely bring them on the ship." Robin turned to look at Brook, "You can always go over there and see if they are friendly since you can't be hurt. If they are a threat, we can just undo the rope and let them go." Brook stared at Robin before he laughed, "Oh ho ho ho! That's true.. Than I'll go check to see if they are friendly or not then. One moment.." Brook added walking to the wall nearby, sitting down as his soul came out of his body. Soaring through the sky with a soft laugh, Robin smiled softly waiting for Brook.
Arriving at the rowboat the hooded figure was laying unconscious and covered up some with his cloak and hood. Brook swayed around some in the air before arriving back to his body. "Someone is there but doesn't look to be in good shape either." Robin looked a little disappointed but also worried, "I'll get Chopper, think you could bring them in?" Robin asked Brook, as Brook looked down at the rope it was attached to the very back of the ship hooked to the back side of the ship. "Of course... When I do, may I see your panties?" Robin looked at Brook in a moment of silence before walking away to get Chopper not answering Brook. Brook took off his coat and placed it over the railing near his cup of tea. Looking over the railing at where the rope was attached to Sunny. Stepping over the railing, climbed along the side of the ship making his way to the rope. Brook reached the rope, outstretching his arm to grab ahold of the rope. "Just a little further."
Meanwhile Robin walked to her chair placed her book down, before turning around heading to the infirmary. It didn't take long before finding Chopper working on some medicine's to restock his supplies in the infirmary. His tongue sticking out with tears in his eyes, it was a almost as sweet as candy. His eyes turned to hearts before shaking his head some. "Too sweet.." Robin opened the door seeing Choppers expression which made her smiled softly, walking into the room, "Chopper, do you have a minute? I believe we may be having a injured guest in a moment." Robin stood near the doorway watching Chopper, Choppers eyes widened with tears, "TOO SOUR!!.. WHAT?!" Wipping his eyes some from the sour taste, jumping down from the chair. He was using and grabbing his medical duffel bag, "Take me to them! Are they heavy injured?!" He smiled happily, glad to be of help, but also thinking of scolding who had harmed the individual. Robin would lead the way as Brook was running along the waters in a panic holding onto the rope. "I'm very light! Although, I should weigh a ton."
Chopper looked at the situation his jaw slowly dropping some in a panic, looking back at Brook. Chopper changed his form to climb down the side of the ship grabbing ahold of the rope as he unhooked the rope, having a firm grip on the rope climbing back up to the top. Chopper began to slip, "Brook! What happened?! Why are you way out there?!" Multiple arms grabbed Chopper and held him against the ship helping with his grip on the ship. Choppers eyes went wide for a moment before realizing it was Robin. He continued to climb up with the help of Robins multiple arms. Chopper began pulling the rope once he was back safely, "After Robin left I.. Slipped." Brook said while his feet quickly ran along the waters surface, holding his hat with one hand as the other held onto the rope.
Brook thought back of what had happened, Brook hopped back onto the rowboat, looking down at the skinny figure in rags. He stared at it for a moment and screamed. "Z-Z-ZOMBIE!!!" Robin and Chopper eyes went wide and pale, "Zombie?!" Brook stood there holding his cane in his hand firmly. "A-are you sure it's a zombie, maybe its just a injured old man?!" Chopper called out, Brook stared deeply at the figure. It's lips parted and coughed some with a exhausted groan. Chopper yelled out at Brook, "IT'S A INJURED OLD MAN!" Brook turned to look at Chopper, "Could still be a zombie." Chopper glared at Brook waving his arm around, "Don't you dare! Get them up here now! Doctors orders!" Brook stepped a bit into the rowboat and picked up the old man, jumped off the rowboat and back onto the Sunny.
Chopper quickly ran over to Brook with Robin behind him, "Careful, Bro-" Chopper, Brook and Robin seen a sickly tiger like creature with horns coiled and twisted around itself. His colors were mixed giving each stripe a different shade of blue. The tigers eyes opened slowly looking up at Chopper making a very faint growl. It didn't last long as their eyes closed before passing back out unable to defend himself. Choppers eyes went wide, quickly helping Brook carry this being. "BROOK QUICKLY!! ROBBBBIIINNN TELL SANJI TO MAKE LOTS OF FOOD!!" Brook and Chopper sprinted off to the infirmary. It wasn't long before they arrived at the infirmary, laying the creature upon a operating table.
Chopper, was quick with his preparations as Brook was helping Chopper. "Do you need me to help with anything Chopper?" Brook asked while standing beside the tiger. The tigers eyes opened again laying on the table. The tigers growled weakly, trying to get up their tail hanging off the side of the table. Chopper held a pill in his hooves, "Here this will help with the pain to make you more relaxed.. don't worry you're safe here." The tigers growled narrowing his eyes at Chopper his head lifted up some as the hood fell from covering his head. The tigers face was covered in a few scars, Chopper stared at him.
"Stop, I'm a doctor! Lay down please!" Chopper waved his arms around some, the tiger growled sitting up some more with his arms shaking struggling to get up. Brook placed his hands on the tigers shoulder, "Please, listen to Chopper he is a doctor. lay back down, sir." The tiger growled more looking back at Brook, staring at him before his body seemed to go all whiter seeing the skeleton walking and talking. His eyes narrowed and roared out at Brook, Chopper stared for a moment frowning. Chopper made a loud roar, turning into a giant holding the pill inches from his mouth. The tiger turned to look back at Chopper, both their eyes meet before long a scoff came from his nose turning his head taking the pill.
Chopper smiled brightly, before noticing the sedative had worked as his body began relaxing upon the table. His rags began to get wet with a red substance, Brook and Choppers eyes looked on in horror. Quickly Chopper moved what rags they had on to see what was wrong. "That's.. A lot of Damage!" Brook said in shock, "This is like trying to give Zoro treatment." Chopper said almost cheerfully, only to turn his head to look at Brook with an annoyed expression on his face. "But there is no time for that now.. we must bandage his wounds. and then go from there." Chopper said a bit worried but began bandaging all he could. Robin made her way to the kitchen, passing by Franky. "Franky, have you seen Sanji? If so, could you ask him for a lot of food to be cooked, we have a guest and hasn't eaten for a while it seems." Franky raised his brow, "Huh? a guest? Oh that's, super. I'll be sure to tell him."
Robin nodded before walking the other way than Franky. It wasn't long before everyone on the ship had heard about the guest, curiously making it over to the med bay. "So, we have a guest? I wonder if they know some magic tricks?" Usopp, began imagining what their guest looked like along side Luffy. "Ooooo maybe they have a treasure map to meat Is-" Luffy staring at Nami after he said his comment, Nami slapped Luffy's in the side. "I will not draw you a meat island!" Robin walking into the kitchen along with everybody else, Sanji cooking as was in his own world in the kitchen a spark in his eyes as he prepared meal after meal.
Zoro standing guard nearby glancing outside of the window having a feeling of uneasiness. Luffy was grabbing at the foods being made and drooling. "So what's he look like? is he a rich stud with lots of berries to spend?!" Nami said with a cheerful attitude, Robin smiled with a soft chuckle. "No he seems to be either, a zombie from Thriller Bark.. Or a member of the animal kingdom pirates.. Or some kind of hybrid of Mink or either devilfruit.. It looks a little strange." Jimbei chuckled softly, "There are many different types of people." Robin then replied " A set of horns upon its head and a tiger like body." There was a moment of silence, as everyone tried to imagine all the different kinds of designs of horned tigers.
Each one of them began talking aloud about what kind of person they will be either friend or foe. Luffy laughing some stuffing his mouth of food from the plate Sanji had given to Luffy to satisfy him for the time being. "Well as long as their nice, and have a map of meat island." Nami's eyes opened wide and began shaking, "Is he blue shaded?" She spoke out in horror, before the air became tense. Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Luffy, Sanji all were staring at Robin with eyes wide, Luffy had stopped eating taking the food from his mouth. "Tell us Robin.. Did he have blue stripes?" Luffy standing up stepping away from the table. Smoke was coming from the kitchen as Sanji stood there shaking, for a moment correcting his delay cooking a bit slower. Nami, Usopp, Luffy, Zoro all stared at intensely Robin. "Wh-well yes. How did you know?" Nami, Usopp gasped as Nami covered her mouth with a look of horror covering her face. Usopp shook his knees shook frantically as he held his arms crossed his chest, acting like nothing was happening.
Sanji's rolled up cigarette fell from his lips as his hand began to shake some, slowly legs shaking walking outside to smoke. Zoro's hands gripped the handles on his swords pulling them out quickly, a deep rage came from his eyes. "Where is he? I'll cut him up into pieces chopper won't be able to heal him from." Luffy calmly placed the food back down on the table "Zoro.. that's enough.." Luffy calmly said with a cheerful tune, sipping some water before walking over to Robin. Zoro grumbled before putting his swords away his eyes still burning. A old headband was placed upon his head, Luffy calmly looked at Robin standing in front of her. "Where is he Robin?" Luffy was serious with no other emotion but a burning fire in his eyes. He was staying calm as he could around his friends. "We need to know, where he is?" Luffy waited for a second, "Where.. where is he?" Luffy smiled brightly as his face was turning slightly red and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
Robin looked at Luffy, almost in fear seeing the look in his eyes, and how he was talking to her. "L-Luffy.." Luffy stopped smiling and looked seriously into Robins eyes. "We need to know where he is now Robin.." Robin shook a bit glancing around for anyone else for help, her words had left her. Franky placed his cola down upon the table, "He was in bad shape when we found him, so he's in medbay... Why do you want to know? He just got here hasn't done nothing to us.." Everyone except Jimbei glared at Franky with their emotionless eyes. "We can send him back out back on his rowboat with some food and small bit of supplies, be done with it." Sanji yelled out in anger walking back into the kitchen. "I will not be feeding him, there will be no food that these hands will cook."
Sanji stood at the doorway staring at Franky, in his 'Soba Mask' suit. "SUPPLIES!? What supplies are we 'giving' away to him? I would never let him ever touch anything that's on this ship!!" Nami began to rant and rave about having to give him even an ounce of supplies. Usopp stood behind Nami, nodding to her every word with his eyes closed and his hand up to his chin. Nami gripped ahold of her Clima-Tact as it extended sparking out with a large thunderous wave of lightning, as Zues, and Apollo came from the staff. Apollo was eating some of the hot air bubbles Nami was making. "I won't give him not a thing!" Luffy stayed calm holding onto Robins shoulders being very gentle, his hand shook a bit. "I'm sorry if I scared you Robin.. But this is for the best."
Luffy stared blankly into Robins eyes, before letting go of Robin began his walk to med bay as everyone began to follow. Robin softly asked, "What do you plan on doing Luffy?" She asked while following Luffy and the others not knowing what will happen, never seen the original crew act this way before. Luffy with a emotionless expression on his face, turned his head looking back at Robin, opening his mouth to say something. Meanwhile Chopper standing over the new guests body bandaging it up the best he could. Making sure to take care in bandaging and giving him a IV for hydration. Chopper looked him over once more checking his heart rate.
Placing a small disc-shaped resonator from the stethoscope onto the tiger's chest listening to a steady pace beating of a heart. Listening as he nodded with a soft smile. "Thank goodness, you're stable. Now with a few day's of rest and food you should make a full recovery." Chopper smile happily, but narrowed his eyes some while thinking of how he has to treat Zoro. Wondering if the same method would work on Zoro for his treatments. The resonator was still on his chest before Chopper froze for a moment as he leaned his head down a bit more, turning his focus back onto the tiger. He gulped a bit, while listening as his eyes went wide. Pulling the Stethoscope down then around his neck, staring at the tiger. ".. He's stable now, so everyone will be so excited to hear our guest's doing great!"
Chopper smiled happily and hopped down from his chair, Looking at the Tiger his smile turned to a frown before shaking his head, walked backwards out of the room closing the door in front of himself. He turning around, blinked a bit, everyone was standing outside crowded around the door. Although something was different about Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Nami, Usopp. There faces were of emotionless stone face staring at the door he just closed, Chopper gulped a bit and stepped back being against the door. "He-hey Guy's! You scared me ha.. Ha, Oh good new's! Our guest is stable and going to recover." Chopper chuckled nervously, smiled happily, wiggling around some, in his smaller form. "Chopper.. Get him off my ship.. Now." Luffy said in a calm and cold tone. Chopper stood shocked hearing what Luffy said. "Lu-Luffy?... B-but he needs at least 24 hours to be able to get up. It seems he ha-" Zoro and Sanji both stepped forward heading towards the door passing Luffy standing in front of everyone.
Chopper grew into a larger form guarding the door. "Luffy?! ZORO, SANJI. What's gotten into you, he still needs to recover. He's in no-" Usopp walking closer reaching out to grab Chopper, "Come on.. out of the way Chopper, yeah know these things just need to be done." Nami stood there looking a Chopper following beside Usopp. Chopper's eyes began to tear up looking at them all, "Usopp.. not you too, please everyone he is still needs time to recover!" Chopper shook a bit holding his arms out barricading the door with his body. "Usopp. Nami. Please not you too."
Chopper stood his ground, looking to "Brook, Franky Robin, Booosssss! Help please.." Franky, Brook, Jimbei and Robin stood nearby Brook and Robin walked over and stood along side Chopper. "You've all been acting differently from the moment you each found out this person was on this ship.." Robin noted, Franky nodded crossing his arms, "Once Nami found out she got this horrified look on her face, then rage when we made our way here." Jimbei nodded in agreement watching them all. "So the question is Luffy.. Are they an ally or are they an enemy? From what I can tell they are.." Jimbei stood firm watching them all from the side with Franky, "Not an ally of the Straw hat crew." Jimbei said with a serious expression on his face "I believe the rest of us should know. We are part of the crew too." Robin said crossing her arms, ready to help defend the door along with Brook and Chopper.
"Are they really an enemy Jimbei?!" Brook shouted in disbelief, Jimbei sighed sadly, "Yes, a most sad turn of events for the one in that room." Jimbei turned to face Luffy. "So. Luffy? What drives such hostility to one that can't defend themselves from an attack." Luffy's fist clench as small bits of steam start to escape. ".. If we don't now, I don't know if we'll get another chance like this." Everyone's eyes went wide as Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Luffy started to prepare as if they were going to war. "LUFFY?! Nami? Sanji? Usopp? Zoro? We are part of the crew too tell us... Why, why is this person our enemy?!" Brook gripped his cane, standing in a fencing stance, "I don't recall reading anywhere in the library of our adventures, about someone that could bring up this much anger from each of you. I believe the rest of the crew has the right to know all of our allies and enemy's." Robin said while keeping close to Chopper, and the door as the tension was growing between them all.
Usopp and Nami looked at each other before looking at Sanji and Zoro, everyone then looked at Luffy. "Their is an enemy to the straw hats. But after we kick his ass, he won't be any more." Luffy said simply and with fire in his eyes, while staring at the door. Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Nami all walked to the chairs and sat down waiting. Luffy looked at Chopper, "Make it 12 hours then get him off my ship.. For you Chopper. I'll let him stay for that long but not any longer.. He will get one loaf of bread and one coin. This will be our one kindness to him." Luffy turned to look at the others, "This is captains orders." Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp stayed silent for a moment before grumbling shook their heads. Zoro and Sanji had their eyes were fixed on the door staring at it from their seats. 'Loaf of bread...' Sanji was in pain after a memory in a flashback. When he was a child starving at the top of that island, his last loaf of bread falling to the watery depths below.
He grew a somewhat wicked smile he was also thinking of all the ways it could poison the bread, "Sure, I'll fix him up a lovely loaf of bread." He seemed to smile cheerfully as he stood up from his seat tapping his shoe a bit, making his way to the kitchen mumbling about all the types of bread he could make. Zoro sat in his seat staring and wondering if he could cut around everyone if he could somehow get to him without fighting the others. Brook was staring at Zoro, still holding his cane scared by the look in Zoro's eyes, but stood with his knees shaking some. Luffy smiled remembering the food he had still to eat, "SANJI!! I want more meat!" Luffy smiled and laughed softly his face shined before running upstairs following Sanji wanting more food.
Usopp stood up from his seat his hands clenched in fists walking to his workshop without saying a word to anyone. Nami and Zoro were left as Zoro stayed and glared at the door, "Chopper!" Zoro turned his attention to Chopper, Chopper jumped and gripped the door frame using his body as a shield. "Yes?!" Zoro stood up having his swords back in their sheaths, "Don't let your guard down around him, no matter what he is not to be trusted." was all he said before walking away heading to his training area. "That twelve hours starts now. After that there will be no saving him. This is not something to play with, Remember captains orders."
Nami was the last one staring at the door from her seat listening to everyone, "... I guess you could say that the person behind that door is on our bounty board.. The navy have their list of us, but we have our own. He is the top number one, alongside from the Black beard pirates." Sitting up a bit straighter with a serious and worried look upon her face. Franky Jimbei, Brook, Robin, Chopper eyes went wide in shock but also out of worry. "What have they done so wrong that would change you guys this bad?" Franky asked, while Jimbei followed up. "To know ones enemy, if they are our enemy. Then why this much distrust in your fellow crew?! Let us know what they have done, we will not understand if you don't tell us." Nami groaned heavily and lowered her head placing the Clima-Tact away holding her head, rubbing some.
"We failed.." Nami said as tears began to drip from her eyes as she began to cry, holding her legs up to her chest resting her chin on her knees. "We failed.. Now we will never be the same." She said having a mood change as she was being swallowed up by her own thoughts. Nami's eyes stared at the floor in horror while holding her head in her hands. Staring at Nami, before Franky and Brook both began running in the direction of where Usopp walked off to. "Usopp! Wait for us, we want to know what happened." Brook asked. Jimbei and Robin were watching everyone before turning their attention to Nami, "Perhaps some nice hot tea would help." Robin and Jimbei began helping Nami up to her feet and leading her up into the kitchen.
Nami's legs were shaking as Zues and Apollo were following behind soon dissolving away into her Clima-Tact. Chopper guarded the door watching and waiting for everyone to leave before going inside locking it from inside. Stopping as he turned back into his small form, soon his eyes went wide shaking a cold chill went up his spine. 'I-I'm locked in a room with.. one of our enemies?!' He thought himself panicking almost at every slow movement he made. "Twe-Twelve hours." He looked to his desk jumping up as grabbed some bowls and beakers to make some medicine. Chopper stood on his chair thinking about if he should really help if they were an enemy.
He shook his head, 'I am a doctor first no matter who the patient is.' Mixing a blend as a vial of highly poisonous material was on the shelf as he caught himself staring at the vial. 'No.. no I'm a doctor, I heal people.. not make them sick.' Turning his attention away grabbing other vials and poured materials into the mortar grinding them up with a serious look upon his face as he worked on a way to heal up the body quicker. His mind would come up with situations of them waking up, and get along with everyone. Hoping that maybe fighting could be avoided, Chopper frowned thinking about it shaking his head to get the thoughts to go away and smacked his cheeks to focus.
A dark garnet red left and clear blue right heterochromia eyes stared at Chopper from behind, laying on the recovery bed. Claws slowly coming out the fingertips, lifting the top half of his body up from the bed. Chopped was focused on his work to notice, a arm outstretched towards Chopper claws extended.
