Well, this is the last part.

I want to thank everyone who left me a review and favorite this story, you guys are the best!

And I hope the edits made the story more enjoyable.

Idiots Don't Get Sick

An hour or so passed and finally the door to the sickbay creaked open.

Chopper excitedly ran out of his office with a simile plastered onto his face.

"The dissolvent was successful-!" The little doctor beamed. The crew's bodies relaxed at the news.

"Fufu, I'm glad."

"Yoho!"

"Ow, now our SUPER captain can stop acting so out of it!"

"-Un! I gave Luffy a physical and checked him over. The seastone's out of his system, and he's already starting to recover. But, he still has a very high fever and I'm not sure how he'll be when he wakes up, but he should make a full recovery in a few days. But that's only assuming he actually gets rest."

"So I guess we'll take turns watching him then?"

"Un, you know he'll get antsy if no one's there to distract him."

The first thing Monkey D. Luffy noticed when he woke up was that he was hot; unbearably and uncomfortably hot. Frowning in confusion, he tried untangling his body from his sheets, only to have a giant hand cover his torso.

He tried opening his eyes, it was hard at first but he was finally able to do it. His vision was blurry and he couldn't fully make out anything in the room, he could tell that he was losing consciousness fast.

He heard a loud laughing sound, or what he thought was laughing, in the distance. The large hand removed the layer of sheets off is body and then repositioned itself to rest on top of his head. The cool metal felt awesome against his forehead and he sighed in content.

He thought he heard someone speaking, but he couldn't quite make out the voice or the words for that matter. But the voice was comforting, it lulled him back to sleep.

He was having a nightmare. He couldn't really tell what was happening as he couldn't open his eyes, but he knew that it was bad, horrible, and he just couldn't seem to wake up. He wanted to escape this place, but it seemed impossible. He felt trapped, unable to move his body.

The horrible noises that were happening around him suddenly vanished. It was like a weight was lifted and he could move again. He wondered what it was that saved him. He listened hard, trying to find his savior.

There was music playing in the distance, it sounded like a lullaby. He tried to find out where it was coming from, but he just couldn't find the energy to open his eyes.

He was having the nightmare again, only this time he could make out certain thing, on top of the unbearable noise. He couldn't hear the lullaby over the yelling, nor could he see anything but blood red. That awful shade of red, that made his body shiver and tense up at the mere thought of it. It kind of scared him. Was he alone? Had the lullaby abandoned him? Nothing made sense.

He shivered again and he drew his hands around his body as he squatted down. He really was alone.

"Luffy."

He heard a voice. It stood out above all the yelling and screaming around him.

"Luffy." It repeated again.

He opened his eyes as he felt a hand gently shake him. He couldn't see very well, but judging from the voice, it had to be Robin.

Her hand felt warm against his cold body. He tried to sit up, to ask her where they were, but he could only lift his heavy head up a few inches. Her hands gently pushed his head back onto what he presumed was a pillow.

Multiple hands appeared and began to massage and rub his head, stomach and arms. He was back asleep in minutes.

He was really cold. And he couldn't stop shivering. There were plenty of blankets on him that much he could tell. So why was he so damn cold? It wasn't fair.

He tried to move onto his side to curl into a ball that would keep him warm; it took some effort but he did it eventually.

He was still cold. Nothing seemed to help. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something climb unto the bed.

Its small body wedged itself into his stomach. The little creature practically radiated heat. Luffy did the only thing he could think of, he wrapped his arms around its fuzzy body tightly and buried his head into the soft fur.

It was a miracle, Luffy discovered that he could open his eyes and sit up. The only problem was that he only discovered his new ability because that damn nightmare felt so real. He brought his hand to his face and began to rub his eyes.

His body panted heavily, begging him to lay back down. He almost did, until he felt a soft cool hand gently touch his shoulder. He glanced over slightly to see Nami standing over him, with a worried look on her face. He hated that look.

"Hi Nami!" He choked out. Luffy's eyes widened, did that sound come out of him?

He opened his mouth to speak again but a hand covered it. He was going to protest, but couldn't find any words. Nami guided his weak body back down to the bed and she left the room as fast as she could. Luffy spent the next couple of minutes trying to sit back up, he had to tell Nami that he was OK.

He was sweating a lot by the time Nami finally came back. His struggles were all in vain and his panting increased tenfold. She looked down at his sweaty form and snorted. Nami set the items she gathered on the table beside her and went over to help Luffy up. He wanted to tell her that he didn't need her help, that sitting up was easy and that he was fine but he couldn't.

"Shhhh." She said quietly.

Nami helped Luffy lean against the wall of the bed. Once satisfied he wouldn't fall, she retrieved the glass of water and held it up for him to drink. He tried to guzzle as much water as he could. He didn't realize he was so thirsty.

"Not so fast, you're going to choke." She gently scolded. The glass of water was finished quickly, despite her scolding, and she set the empty glass down and reached for something else.

He stared at the object in Nami's hand in a mixture of awe and confusion. She couldn't possibly mean for him to eat that, besides he didn't even know if he could eat it. He defiantly didn't want to throw up something that special.

"Well don't just stare at it! Look there's this old myth that if you eat a lot of vitamin C when you're sick, then you get better faster." Nami said and nudged the object in her hand closer to his mouth. He didn't really know what she meant by that, but if Nami wanted to share her treasure with him than he wasn't complaining.

He was awake to see Sanji come in the room, stare at him for a minute, beg Nami to watch him for a few more minutes, leave, come back a few moments later with a huge platter in his hand, thank Nami for wasting her valuable time, and take over her shift the moment she left. He was still leaning against the wall as he looked at the huge platter nervously.

"I figured you'd be hungry when you woke up, since you missed lunch and dinner yesterday."

Luffy gulped nervously, it was true, he was hungry, starving even, but he didn't want to risk it. Eating a couple of oranges was one thing, but an entire five course meal was another.

Nami would be furious if she found out he threw up one of her most prized possessions. Not to mention the beating Sanji would give him if he found out that he lost one of Nami generous gifts.

Luffy's breathing hitched in realization. He hadn't been able to keep any of Sanji's meals down for days. And now the cook was going to find out he wasted all of that food. He was so dead.

"Oi, are you OK? You got paler, if that's possible."

Sanji placed the platter at the foot of the bed and placed the back of his hand on his captain's head to gauge the fever. He still felt very warm.

"I'm fine!" Luffy squeaked out. His voice sounded a little horse, but he was understandable now to say the least. The boy turned his head to the side, unable to look his cook in the eye.

"Oh really?" That was Luffy's lying voice and face. He was hiding something, but he'll let it go for now. The poor bastard was sick after all.

Sanji brought the platter to the boy's lap and removed the lid.

The smell of the food was enough to make his stomach do loops, and yet he felt it let out a little gurgle of hunger at the same time.

Luffy stared at the platter, debating what he should do.

"Come on I know you're hungry, do you really need me to force feed you?" Sanji laughed hard at first, until he saw the look on the boy's face and stopped.

He really didn't want to throw up again, and for some reason his crew always knew when he was lying.

Luffy took a big gulp of air before nervously meeting his cooks eye. He shifted in the bed nervously upon seeing the concerned look in his eye. Why did his crew have to look at him that way?

"I'm sorry Sanji…" Luffy began.

"Sorry? For what?"

"For the past few days… I haven't been able to keep anything down… I really didn't mean to throw up… but after I ate… I just couldn't hold it! I know you hate it when people waste food, but-" He said. His voice faded in and out as he spoke, it sounded strained.

"So, wait,you haven't been able to eat anything for the past few days?" Sanji muttered, as he turned to look at the food.

Luffy tried to speak again but couldn't seem to find his voice, he went into a small coughing fit. Sanji sighed and took the water off the platter and handed it to his captain, who swallowed it greedily.

Sanji took the platter back to the kitchen while his captain finished the water. He set the platter on the counter and grabbed a small plate from the nearby stack. With lightning speed, Sanji picked certain foods from the platter, threw them on the plate and headed back to the sickbay.

When he got back, his captain stared at him oddly.

"Here, this shouldn't upset your stomach. Do you think you can eat all of it?" Sanji asked as he held the plate out to Luffy.

Luffy stared at the plate, debating whether or not he could finish the food. He knew he could, he was starving, but he didn't know if he could keep it down. However, Sanji said that it shouldn't upset his stomach and he trusted his word. So Luffy took the plate and started to eat.

Luffy ate the meal slowly at first, but he eventually picked up his pacing. Sanji smirked at the sight.

He turned his attention to the two glasses of water sitting on the small bedside table. Sanji's heart lit up at the sight; his Nami-san was so thoughtful. Picking up the two glasses, he made his way back to the kitchen to refill one of them.

When he went back into the room, he saw the plate was licked clean and that Luffy was on the verge of falling back asleep. The helped his captain move down onto the bed. He was out like a light the second he hit the pillow.

"Honestly, your such a pain." Sanji said softly as he placed the glass down. He checked his temperature again before leaving the sickbay. Sanji left the door open on his way out, so he could keep an eye on him while he started on breakfast. The others would be up soon.

The cook rummaged through the ingredients, avoiding a good majority of the extravagant ones he usually used when cooking.

He mentally went over the list of food he would be cooking that day as he heated up the stove.

"For breakfast we'll have eggs, yogurt, and fruit. For lunch we'll..."

Luffy fluttered his eyes open slowly.

He couldn't tell if his headache had returned or if his neck was just stiff; either way it kind of hurt to lift his head up. He laid still on the tiny bed in agonizing solitude.

Boredom ate way his patience at a startling rate and he began to fidget underneath the covers.

Eventually, he formed a plan to roll onto his stomach, from there he would be able to push himself up instead of pull; that shouldn't strain his neck as much as this other option, at least.

Usopp had come back into the room , after his scheduled bathroom break, only to be greeted by Luffy's flailing legs.

He had only been gone for five minutes and in that time, the rubber boy had woken up and managed to roll himself halfway onto the floor. The covers surrounded his captains upper half of the body, they effectively became tangled around his face and arms and making it impossible for him to get up, and breath right judging from the sounds he was making. The sniper didn't know if he should have been surprised or not.

Usopp made his way over to his fallen friend, careful to avoid his flailing legs, and helped him back onto the bed. He pulled at the still tangled covers valiantly until they finally became loose. The boy took in a deep breath of air upon his release.

Luffy blinked rapidly, trying to straiten out his blurry vision, while Usopp adjusted the covers.

"Oh, Usopp! When did you get here?"

He snorted in amusement, then realized that his captain was trying to get back up again. He needed to act fast.

He used his hand to hold down the boy's shoulder, before boldly exclaiming,"The Great Usopp-sama has always been here! Waiting for the right moment to strike." Mirth laced his voice as he began to introduce another story.

His captain forgot all about his previous struggle as he listened intently to the Great Usopp-sama's story. He fell asleep about a third of the way, through, and Usopp let out a low sigh in relief.

The sniper pulled over a chair and he began to pickup where he left off, despite his captains deafening, but oddly peaceful snoring.

The nightmare found him again. He knew this place, he knew that something bad happened here and he knew that he didn't want to be here anymore. The blurry images were moving so fast around him and the horrible noise was nearly deafening. He had to get out of here, but he needed to find something first. He just couldn't remember what, which was frustrating since he knew that it was important.

He felt flames irrupt around him when he tried to move forward. A sneering voice laughed at him as he tried to fight his way around the fire. But his body couldn't take the heat anymore and he collapsed to the ground exhausted.

The flames seemed to move to his chest somehow. He could feel them burning his flesh for what seemed like hours until they finally died down and left his body. Leaving it cold and forgotten on the ground.

The fire took the horrible noises and the intense heat and light with it. Now it was pitch black and his body felt numb, too cold to move. He was alone, floating in a sea of darkness.

He tried to call out for someone, anyone, just so he would know that he really wasn't alone. But he received no response. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, he felt his body grow slightly warmer.

This heat wasn't the same burning sensation he felt moments before. It was comforting and warm, inviting even. He tried to move toward it.

Luffy woke up to Zoro gently shaking him, his hand was warm against his cold body. He tried to sit up, only to be held down by Zoro's weight. His swordsman's eyes told him not to move, or he would make him stay put. A pout formed on his lips and the swordsman sat back down, leaning against the wall as he closed his eye.

Luffy wasn't very eager to go back to sleep. He didn't want to have that dream again, he didn't like it and he defiantly didn't get what was happening in it. Everything happened too fast for his mind to process it.

His eyes wandered to Zoro, he could help him figure out what that dream was about, Zoro always helped him figure out confusing stuff.

He began talking about his dream, trying his best to describe it.

The swordsman listened quietly to his captain's soft and tired voice tell him all about his strange nightmare. There was a momentary silence when Luffy was done telling Zoro his dream, like he was trying to comprehend what he was just told. Finally, the swordsman leaned forward and extended his rough hand to touch Luffy's head. He ruffled his hair slightly before telling him that, "It was just a dream and he should just go back to sleep because nothing like that would ever happen to him." Luffy could have sworn he heard the swordsman mutter something else, but he was too tired to care.

If Zoro told him not to worry about it, then he wouldn't.

The swordsman watched as his captain drifted into a deep sleep. His previous words swirled around in his mind.

"Nothing like that would ever happen to him. Not again, not ever."

When Zoro was sure his captain was asleep again, he shut his eye and leaned against the wall. The duo's snoring becoming in sync.

It had only been about two days and he was already out on the deck running around with Usopp and Chopper. Their captain's recovery rate never failed amaze the crew. Though, they knew they should have expected nothing less.

Chopper had tried to get him to go back to bed but, like Zoro, he was a lost cause. So Chopper opted into joining their game of tag; if he couldn't beat them, join them, right?

Sanji held two drinks in his had as he made his way towards the two sunbathing beauties. They didn't realize he was there until the cool drinks were in their hands, their attention had been elsewhere at the moment.

By the time they went to offer the cook their thanks, his gaze lingered elsewhere as he momentarily took in the scene they had previously been watching. A small smile formed on his lips before turning his full attention to the lovely ladies he lived to serve.

Brook's and Franky's cheerful melody played as loud as Zoro's current snores, both sides battling for dominance in a seemingly endless war.

Laughter echoed around the ship as the three youngest members played their game.

It was just an other normal day on the Thousand Sunny as the ship moved forward, cutting into the harsh sea's waves with ease.

~Done

I feel so bad. I realized that I never added Usopp's part to the original "the crew watches over Luffy" part. But no one else seemed to have noticed either, or it just wasn't brought to my attention... Anyway I finally added his part. I knew this story was missing something lol...

Anyway...Did anyone notice that Sanji listed foods that are considered good for an upset stomach?

Also, my reasoning behind Luffy not really getting his dreams is because he's sick. I feel kind of weird making Luffy not recognize Marineford and the battle of the best. That's supposed to be something he'll never forget. And I kind of made him... But hey, we all get weird dreams when we're sick right?

Well, my very first actual story for the One Piece Archive is finally edited and done. I'm very happy that I was able to make this story as long as it is, considering it was only supposed to be a one shot. But I'm glad it turned into this instead. I had a lot of fun writing this and it was SUPER satisfying to know that I can write long things and get some people to like them.

Did I mention you guys are the best?

I have a few more ideas swimming around my head for possible new stories, I'm not sure If they'll be one shots or full length stories, I have to play around with them first to see what kind of direction they will all go in. But chances are they'll probably be one shots.

I like doing one shots more, simply because I think I'm better at them than actually planning out an entire story from start to finish. Especially since I always have to change my mind halfway through my stories.

I start my very first semester of college in about two weeks, so I don't know what my life will be like then. But for now, I have all of the free time in the world, so I'll try my best to update or start something soon.

Again thanks for reading! I hope you have a wonderful day/night. Bye~
