I don't own One Piece! The legendary Eiichiro Oda does! Now on the Chapter!

Chapter One

Luffy's POV

I was floating in utter darkness but I don't remember how I got here. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was my name being called out then every thing went black. I tried calling my nakama but to my disappointment nobody answered. I was lonely. It was cold. And for the first time in a long time, I was scared. Was this Hell? If it was, I hated it. I missed the comforting smiles of my crew. I missed how Chopper would always fail at hiding his emotions when somebody complimented him, how Sanji would flirt with all the beautiful girls, how Brook would always make a skull joke. I miss how Franky would always yell 'SUPER' every time, how Nami would get pissed off when I annoy her, how Zoro and Sanji always fight, how Usopp will constantly lie about some disease when we get in a dangerous situation, and how Robin would be so calm when something bad happened. Where was everybody and why am I so alone?

Meanwhile In The Infirmary Aboard The Ship

Sanji's POV

I stared at our captain's lifeless body. He looked like a mummy all wrapped up in bandages all the way to his neck. He had to go and do something reckless as that, making us worry so much. That baka! The room was silent. Everybody was just to shaken about what happened. How could we leave the captain all alone and let him get ambushed? Just yesterday we were having fun on an island and now we're here in the infirmary just hearing that Luffy's in a coma. Staring at him was just too much, so I turned away. He didn't look like himself at all. No grin on his face, pale as a sheet, red flushed cheeks, and he was sweating like a mad-dog. Even though he is a pirate, he didn't deserve THIS! I decided I would break the silence so I took my cue and spoke up.

"How is he Chopper," I asked the reindeer who was making some kind of medicine for Luffy.

"He has a bad fever, due to the wounds, but I managed to stabilize him," he answered.

I nodded in understanding and walked out, leaving Luffy in Chopper's hands. He is the ship's doctor and he knows what he's doing. When Luffy wakes up, there will be a feast waiting for him. As of now, I will wait patiently for news that Luffy is healthy again. The rest of the crew followed after me, not being able to stare at our captain anymore. I couldn't blame them. It is a horrible sight seeing him like that.

In The Kitchen

Still Sanji's POV

We sat at the table silently and after a short while, Nami broke the silence.

"Since our captain is in a coma, we have to work even harder," she declared.

"Of course Navigator~san. With Captain~san's rubber ability, he made everything so much easier," Robin inquired.

"Luffy's injuries is very bad and he needs a lot more medical help," Chopper said joining in at the table.

"We're in luck. The next island is known for its advanced medical skills," Nami stated.

"Alright. Then Sanji, take the wheel. Usopp, raise the anchor. Chopper and Franky, unfurl the sails," Zoro ordered.

"Wait. Who died and put YOU in charge," I asked, not liking the marimo bossing me around.

"Sanji! He's Luffy's first mate and since Luffy is in no condition to captain this ship, Zoro has to do it," Nami argued, "And do NOT even mention that word again!"

I nodded then took the wheel as everyone else went to do as they were told. We didn't even need a speech from Zoro to tell us we had to hurry. Our captain's life is at stake and that's all we need to know we had to work up our game, and hurry to the next island. He needed medical help and fast. What we didn't expect is to be stopped by the sight of a fire-powered yellow boat.

"ACE!?"
