24 Chapter 24

[As promised, here are the two chapters.]

We left Little garden behind and are sailing on the sea, on our way to Drum Island.

"Ey Ken, why are we going to Drum Island?" asked Sabo

"They say that the island has the best doctors in the world."

Deuce ears immediately peaked.

"Are you going to let Deuce take more lessons or something?" asked Ace

I smirked.

"Nah, that will be the first island to become my territory."

They all looked surprised.

"Already? But we aren't strong enough to conquer a whole island." said Laffitte

"The island has a kingdom called the Drum Kingdom. It has a king called Wapol, but that king is more of a tyrant. After his father died, who was a kind-hearted guy, he took the 20 best doctors in the kingdom and banished or killed the rest."

"Tsk, so he isn't much better than the king of Goa Kingdom." said Ace

"So what are your plans, captain?" asked Laffitte

"It's simple. I'll kill the corrupt king and give the people what they want. I'm sure that they'll let me make their island, my territory."

"And what if they say no?" asked Sabo

"Then I'll kill them all!"

"WHAT!" x4

"YES!" screamed Laffitte

"Huh?" x6

"I was just kidding, Laffitte. I didn't know; you were such a sociopath."

He looked the other way.

"But since I promised you to give you some people to do with what you want, I'll let you take care of the king and his guards."

"Thank you, captain!"

"And what about us?" asked Sabo

"I'll tell you later. Oh and Deuce, I heard that there was a witch on that island. They say that she can make miracles happen. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from her. But I won't help you this time."

He nodded.

"Thank you, Ken."

"Oh, and Robbert."

He was sitting on the mast.

"What?"

"We'll drop you off at Drum Island, but if you want, you can always join us."

"What? You chained me up and almost got me killed, and now you're talking about recruiting me? Fat chance!"

"The invitation still stands."

"Tsk."

"Captain! A storm is coming!" screamed Laffitte

"Not again! Robert, Deuce, get the sails up."

"Don't order me around. I'm not on your crew."

"As long as you're on my ship, you do as I say. Or I can always throw you in the sea."

"Tsk."

He started helping Deuce with the sails.

"Sabo, Laffite, steer the ship out of the storm."

They nodded.

"Ace, use your flames to accelerate us out of the storm."

*BOOM*

The sky immediately turned dark, and lightning started to fall down.

"HOLD ON EVERYONE!"

*WOOSH*

[10 minutes later]

"Sigh."

'We have survived another storm. I can't wait till I get my new ship. There is no way this thing can survive the New World.'

"Let's get back on course."

"Yes, sir." x4

[1 day later]

"Ey Deuce, are you okay?"

"I'm fine; why?"

"You look really red."

"Really?"

I placed my hand on his forehead.

"Ouch! Bro, your head is burning."

*COUGH*

*COUGH*

"Go lie down in bed. Sabo, you'll be taking care of him till we get to the island."

He nodded.

"Let's go, Deuce."

Sabo took Deuce to his bed.

'Don't tell me he has the same disease as Nami. I guess I'll have to take him to Kureha then.'

"If anyone feels sick, tell me right now."

No one said anything.

"Alright, let's keep going then.

[2 days later]

"Brrrr. It's so cold." said Laffitte

"That means that we're getting closer."

'Hm?'

I looked up and saw Robert falling from the mast. I managed to catch him right before he fell.

'He looks unconscious, and he is also burning. Don't tell me also has the disease.'

"Laffitte, Ace, find a way to speed up the ship."

"Yes, sir!"

I put Robbert in the bed next to Deuce.

"Doctor Sabo, I got you a new patient."

"You're a funny guy. But Deuce's temperature is only getting higher, and he is unconscious, so I can't ask him what to do."

"Just do your best. We will arrive there shortly."

He nodded.

[1 day later]

"Captain, I can see the island." said Laffitte

"Good, find a place where we can hide our ship. Make sure that the guards don't spot us."

"Yes, sir."

"Sabo, take out the patients."

He came out with Deuce and Robert.

"Laffitte, you can have fun with the king."

"Thank you, sir."

"Sabo, Ace, you two will go out and help the people where needed."

"What about those two?" asked Sabo

I put them both on my shoulders.

"I'll get them to a doctor. Make sure that no one finds our ship."

"Yes, sir."

*WOOSH*

I disappeared from the ship. I started using Geppo and Soru to get to the island faster.

'I better hurry up before it's too late.

*WOOSH*

A minute later, I appeared on the island. I was moving to fast for the guards to spot me.

If I remember correctly, she lived in a town called Gyasta in a big tree.'

I started using Haki to increase my speed further.

*WOOSH*

I arrived at a sign that pointed towards Gyasta.

I followed the sign, and after 3 minutes, I arrived at the big tree. I stormed in without knocking.

"AAHH!"

I saw Chopper with vials in his hand, and he was completely frozen.

"Where is the doctor?"

"He quickly hid behind his desk."

'Oh yeah, I forgot that he was scared of humans.'

"I have two people who are really ill. Can you please help them."

He stuck his head out from behind the desk and looked at Deuce and Robert. He pointed to two beds. I placed them down on the beds. I looked at him, and he hid behind the desk again.

"Sigh."

I took a chair and sat down with my face away from the beds. I sensed him quickly running towards the beds.

'I hope he can at least slow down the effects until Kureha comes back.'

[1 hour later]

Kureha opened the door and walked in.

"Huh? Chopper, what is going on, and who are these people."

I turned around and looked at her.

"It's you. That new super rookie. What do you want here?"

"My friends are really ill, and I came here to ask for your help. I heard that you're a really good doctor."

"I don't do things for free, ya know."

"I have money."

She smirked.

"How much?"

"We'll talk about that after you've treated them."

"Sure."

She started looking for the cause, and after she pulled up their shirts, she had a surprised look on her face. There was a huge bite mark on their abdomen.

"How the hell did they get this disease!? It's supposed to be extinct."

"We just came from Little Garden."

"That explains a lot. This is called the Five-Day Disease. It kills the one with the disease in five days. You're lucky that you made it in time."

"Do you have a cure."

"No, but I can make one. But it will be really expensive."

"Stop talking about money and cure them already. I told you that I would pay, so just treat them already."

"You sure have a big mouth. I will make sure to squeeze every single berry out of you."

She started making the medicine with Chopper helping her.

"Purupuru, purupuru, purupuru."
