After escaping the giant fish, we headed toward Alabasta. Luffy and Usopp were as cheerful as ever, thrilled that their instincts about trusting the giants had been right.
At the front of the ship, I was thinking about what to do next. Behind me, Rose was shooting darts at a bullseye she'd drawn on a barrel, and Zoro was lifting weights, shirtless.
Just put a shirt on! It's like he wants her to stare at him. I thought he didn't like her?
"Everyone, there's an emergency!" I heard Vivi yell from the lower deck.
I ran to the railing to see what was wrong. Nami was on the floor, panting and covered in sweat.
"Nami has a really high fever!" Vivi explained.
"Sanji, help me carry her inside," I ordered. We gently lifted our sick navigator and brought her to her room.
Vivi explained that people get sick easily on the Grand Line because of the constantly changing climates. Since none of us had any medical skills besides Nami, we had to do something.
"She'll get better if she eats some meat!" Luffy said, his solution as simple as ever.
I don't have time to deal with this.
I picked Luffy up and threw him out onto the deck. "Go play or something," I told him. "Let the adults talk."
"Her fever keeps climbing!" Vivi said worriedly.
"How much longer until we get to Alabasta?" I asked her.
"I'm not entirely sure, at least a week."
She doesn't have that kind of time.
"We're going to find a doctor first," I said. "I'm sorry, Vivi, I know getting you home is important, but the health of my crew has to come first."
I know Vivi wants to get home, but the people who are permanent members of this ship have to come first. I won't let one of them die just because one girl wanted a ride home.
"No..." Nami squeaked out. "There's a newspaper on my desk."
Vivi went to the desk and picked up the paper. She read the headlines and gasped. Apparently, some of the royal forces had switched sides and joined the rebel army.
"That paper is three days old," Nami told Vivi, her voice weak. "I didn't want to worry you since we were sailing as fast as we could. Do you understand, Steve?"
"Yes, it appears the situation has become quite dire," I said. "But frankly, I don't care about Alabasta. That has nothing to do with me. You're a member of my crew, and that comes first."
"I'm fine; I can get better on my own," Nami said, getting out of bed despite my protest.
Damn her stubbornness.
Vivi was upset, conflicted between her desire to get home and her worry for Nami.
"Time to grow up, Vivi," I told her. "You've already done more than most people at your age. Accept that you'll have to make tough choices in life. Not everyone will be happy with them. If you ever plan to take over Alabasta, you need to learn that lesson quickly." I left her with that thought. "You need to understand you are a guest on my ship and not in a position to make demands of me. This isn't a charter boat for a pleasure cruise."
I went to the deck to try and convince Nami to get back in bed. When I got there, the others were running around, tying things down and turning the ship. Vivi wasn't too far behind me.
"I have a request," Vivi asked. "We need to head for my country as fast as possible. To do that, please, let's find an island with a doctor. Nami needs to be in top shape if we want to go as fast as possible."
"You got it!" Luffy answered. "As fast as possible!"
"AHHHH!" Rose screamed, pointing to a huge cyclone not too far away from us.
"Let's keep going south toward Alabasta and look for other islands along the way," I instructed.
Later
We sailed for a whole day, and there were still no islands in sight. Nami was getting worse. It had started snowing in the middle of the night, which might have been a blessing, keeping her fever down a bit.
"Think someone can stand on water?" Zoro yelled down from the crow's nest.
"What are you talking about?" Usopp asked.
"That," he pointed out to the sea, where a man was standing on the water.
I'll be. How is he doing that?
"Cold out, isn't it?" the man asked.
It talked.
Suddenly, a ship erupted from underneath the man, sending our ship rocking into the waves.
"What the hell!"
"Has my submersible ship left you speechless?" a man covered in tin plates asked us from his deck.
An entire army of pirates stormed our ship and pointed guns at all of us on the deck. Sanji came up from the room where Nami was, only to get ambushed himself.
"That makes six; there can't only be six people on this ship," the tin man thought aloud as he bit into a sword.
What's with this guy?
"Let me ask you folks something," the man said, his mouth full. "We're looking for Drum Kingdom. You don't happen to have an Eternal Pose or a Log Pose, do you?"
"No, never heard of it," Sanji told him.
"If you're done, hurry up and leave!" Luffy yelled at the man.
"Hang on, I'm a little hungry," the man said as he devoured a huge portion of our ship.
"What the hell is with this guy?!" Usopp screamed.
"Don't eat my ship!" Luffy yelled as he charged at the man.
"Why didn't we do this from the beginning?" Zoro asked.
"This is the fun way!" Rose yelled.
We easily took down the main force. Luffy, on the other hand, got chomped by the tin man.
"Luffy!" Usopp yelled in fear, alerting us to Luffy's predicament.
"Tough, way too chewy," the man complained as he ate my friend.
Luffy's arms stretched out of the man's mouth and kept flying back. "Get off my ship!" Luffy sent the man flying when his arms returned back to his body.
The man's crew returned to the ship to rescue their captain since he couldn't swim.
He must have eaten a Devil Fruit.
The rest of us went back to random things while Usopp fixed the damage caused by that pirate. I think I heard his crew call him Wapol. I'd never heard of him.
By the evening of the second day of Nami's illness, we still hadn't found an island.
"It's been so cold lately," Rose said, putting on her heavy blue jacket.
"It's probably because we're near a winter island," Vivi explained how climates on the Grand Line worked, with each island having its own little area of influence.
"She's right," Sanji said, looking through binoculars. "I see an island."
Thank God.
"Let's hope there's a doctor," I said.
