Luffy huffed and flopped down on the deck after being literally kicked out of the kitchen by Sanji. It wasn't like he had meant to knock over the pitcher of lemonade. He had been trying to stay out of his cook's way and stretched his arm to grab a glass off the counter. His throat had been burning with thirst and his chest had been tight. He had thought a glass of the refreshing, cool drink would help. Unfortunately, Sanji had just gone to walk that way. The blond cook had slammed into Luffy's outstreched arm, knocking it backwards and into the pitcher. That had resulted in a huge mess that had sent Sanji into a raging flood of curses. Sanji had kicked Luffy hard in his chest and sent him impacting into the wall with a hard thud.
A dull throbbing in Luffy's head had him crossing his arms behind his head for cushion as he pulled his boshi down over his face, shielding his eyes from the blinding glare of the sun that beat down on the deck of the Thousand Sunny. He slowly slipped into unconcioussness, his breaths a little shallow and raspy.
Zoro sighed in irritation as he was awoken from his nap by a loud thud followed by the curses of an irritated cook. He cracked open his eye and watched as Luffy was frog marched out of the kitchen and thrown to the lower deck near Zoro. The swordsman could only assume that the captain had done something to mess up the blonde's kitchen again.
Zoro stood and picked up his weights, getting back into his training. The heat was oppressive and nearly thick enough to chew on as the sweat traveled in rivulets down his chisled physique. He watched as Luffy settled down onto the deck, pulling his straw hat down over his face and putting his arms behind his head. It was unusual to see him settle down so quickly. Normally the raven headed boy would simply laugh off Sanji's behaviour and go bug Ussop or Franky in their workshops.
Zoro sighed and put his weights down, walking over to the young boy. There had to be something bothering him if he was sleeping instead of being loud and causing Nami to pitch a fit about the noise. The greenette watched the soft and shallow rise and falls of Luffy's chest as the wind blew his vest open. He frowned though as he traced his eye over the deceptively soft looking skin of his captain.
He knew there was nothing soft about the young boy in the way of strength be it physically or willpower. His body was hardened from his fights and training even though his rubber skin did a lot to hide the more defined edges of his abs and arms. Luffy would do anything for his Nakama and they knew it. Luffy had sacrificed a lot for them, saving Zoro from execution, Nami from Arlong, Ussop from that butler guy, Sanji from himself, Chopper from Wapol, Robin from the World Goverment, Franky from himself, and Brook from Moria.
Zoro's frown deepened as he stared at the x shaped scar marring Luffy's chest. He felt guilty for not being there when his captain had needed his strength the most. The whole crew felt that way but none more so than Zoro. The swordsman reached into his Haramaki and pulled out the den den mushi he had been given. 'Even this guy wants to help our captain, even though he's Luffy's rival.' Zoro scowled at the snail phone before putting it back up. No one else knew that he had that snail, and he planned to keep it that way unless absolutely nesseccary.
Zoro was pulled from his thoughts at a pained grunt coming from the boy in front of him and he traced his eyes over the boy's body more intently as he started picking up the shape of a foot shaped bruise forming on Luffy's left set of ribs. 'That shitty cook! Did he use Haki when he kicked Luffy?' The greenette kneeled beside him and lifted boshi away. That action would normally get an instant, vicious response from their captain whom was very protective of his treasured hat.
When Luffy didn't move Zoro leaned over him, bracing a thickly muscled arm next to the raven's head and brought his forhead to the boy's, checking for a fever. Luffy didn't so much as twitch at the other man's touch. Zoro frowned and sat back on his knees as he took in his captain's palor and shallow breaths. 'Maybe Sanji's kick did some damage. Anyways, he's not feverish. He's a little clammy though and his skin's cold.'
Zoro picked him up, being mindful of the boy's ribs just in case something was damaged. The swordsman headed below deck with the lighter boy in his arms and took him into the rarely used capatain's quaters. Luffy barely used the room for more than stowing his few clothes and occassionally crashing in there when he thought he might have a rough night sleeping. Zoro placed him down on the clean bed and drew the covers over him. 'If he's not awake by dinner I'll send Chopper down to look in on him.'
Luffy groaned and rolled to his feet, standing up in the process. He had no idea when he had been moved to his personal quarters but figured Zoro was the one to bring him below deck. It seemed that the other members of the crew had named Zoro his "keeper" and therefore responsible for him. He looked around the bare room and sighed. It stood to reason that the room wouldn't look lived in as he was use to sleeping in the same berthing as the other men, swinging in a hammock with the ships motions.
He yawned and scratched his head and then froze, looking around for his treasured hat that Shank's had given him. His relieved eyes fell on it resting innocently on the bolted down night stand that Nami had insisted on buying for the room. He grabbed it and put it on before leaving the room and heading for the galley. He hoped that Sanji wasn't still mad at him. An angry sanji meant smaller portions for him though he absently noted that he wasn't really hungry.
Luffy left his room and stumbled for a moment as a vicious wave of pain from his throbbing head stole his strength. He knocked his shoulder into the wall before he was able to regain his strength. He knew from experience that he had hit the wall with enough force to bruise himself. A small wave of vertigo hit him sending his world spinning once more before slowly righting its self again. Luffy straightened himself up, pushing away from the wall. He knew he was in trouble now. Something was wrong with him.
Luffy made his way up and into the brightly lit kitchen, walking past Sanji with none of his usual energy and sat at the table. He let his head thunk down onto the table and pulled boshi further down on his face, hiding from the light. Sanji was standing at the stove simmering a soup of some sort. The smell of spices was overwhelming and sent a wave of naseum through the rubber boy.
Sanji jumped, his attention pulled away from what he was cooking as a loud, solid thunk sounded behind him. The cook spun, a leg lifted slightly in defense as he searched the kitchen for what made that sound. He froze though as his eyes landed on the form of his captain. His anger from earlier came bubbling back up as he lit a cigarette from the pack he kept in the breast pocket of his jacket.
"Oi, Luffy! Dinner isn't ready so get out of my kitchen." Sanji hissed out as he blew out the smoke he had inhaled. Luffy didn't move. Sanji took another deep inhale of smoke as Luffy thoroughly ignored him. He blew out the smoke and put out his cigarette in an ash tray before walking over to the boy. 'Is he pouting because of earlier? Stupid captain.' "Luffy! Get your ass out of my kitchen!" The blond hollered. Luffy didn't even twitch, showing no signs of having heard him. Sanji growled and picked him up by the collar of his vest. He was about to thrown him out when a loud bang sounded as the kitchen door flew open and impacted with the wall.
"Shitty cook! What the hell do you think you're doing to Luffy? Put him down. If he wants to sit there, in His kitchen, at His table, then who the fuck are you to tell him to get out?" Zoro barked at the cook, glaring dangerously. Sanji released the unusually quiet boy as his anger switched targets.
"I'm cooking, Moss-head! If I don't want him in here, then he won't be!" With that he turned his attention back to the young pirate. Zoro growled dangerously, his hands sliding to his Katanas and drawing his cursed blade.
"Don't you put one finger on him. Is your head shoved so far up your precious 'Nami-Swan's' ass that you can't see that the boy is sick?" Zoro could feel his blood starting to boil at how oblivious the cook was to Luffy's situation. The boy's quietness should've tipped him off.
"Eh? The hell did you say, shitty swordsman?" Sanji was slowly coming down from his anger as he felt real killing intent aimed at him. The swordsman was highly lethal. The only time the greenette released this much KI was when someone was threatening his captain. Sanji had never been afraid of the first mate before, but something was different this time. The blond felt a very real level of fear rising inside himself the longer he stared at the swordsman. He took a slow step away from the form of his captain.
This seemed to satisfy Zoro as he sheathed his blade and walked over to the table where Luffy was beginning to stir. Sanji let him pass by as he lit up another nicotine filled stick. He had caught sight of the silvered eye that showed that Zoro was still very much on edge. Luffy groaned and pushed himself up on weak, shaky arms. He kept his head tilted down, hiding his face from his Nakama.
"Zoro, call Chopper." Luffy rasped out as a hot drop of something hit the back of his hand. He cracked open his eyes and stared down at his left hand. There was a drop of blood standing out starkly against his pale skin.
"Chopper!" Zoro yelled out. He was standing next to the rubber man now and his eye was trained on that single drop of blood. Something was seriously wrong with Luffy. "CHOPPER!" Zoro yelled again as he reached forward and slightly tugged the brim of the hat up. Luffy met his gaze as another drop of blood splished onto his hand next to the other.
"Oi, what the hell are you yelling for?" Sanji asked, irritated as he turned off the soup. The blond walked over to stand next to Zoro and his eyes widened, blood was beginning to leak from Luffy's nose as well as his mouth. "CHOPPER, NOW!" Sanji hollered. A clatter of hooves was heard as well as the rush of the crew's feet hitting the deck as they all rushed to the kitchen and into the door.
Chopper rushed over to the trio as he started checking Luffy over, having smelled his blood the moment he came in the door. Nami was staring in shock, a hand to her lips as Robin paled beside her. Franky was staring quietly at his captain. Ussop had just reached the door and when he came in he froze in his spot.
"L-Luffy..." Ussop stuttered out as he collapsed to his rear, staring at the boy that had become necessary for all of them. They had come to think that he was invincible, but here he stood, dripping blood and looking like he was about to collapse.
"What happened in here, Sanji, Zoro?" Nami asked, watching Chopper wipe away blood that continued to slowly leak out. Nami would never admit it out loud, but she had come to think of Luffy as her brother ever since he had saved her from Arlong.
Zoro kept his eye trained on his captain as he began to speak. "He passed out earlier on the deck. He wasn't acting like himself so I took him below, hoping all he needed was some rest. All we've been doing lately is fighting fucking Marines so it would be reasonable to think he was just tired."
Sanji took over from there, "I didn't even notice when he came into the kitchen he was so quiet. When I saw him I told him to get out, thinking that he was just pouting and ignoring me for kicking him out earlier. I was about to throw him out when Zoro came in. He stopped me and directed my attention to the fact that something was wrong with him." Sanji took a deep drag and held it in before letting it out. He felt extremely guilty. He was the cook, but he should've noticed that Luffy wasn't acting right.
"Minna, he needs surgery. There's something lodged in him. I think it's been there about a day, probably from our last battle. I don't have the equipment needed for this. I don't know where the object is lodged." Chopper cut in before bursting into tears. A harsh cough broke the silence that had descended over the crew and they all looked at Luffy as he fell to his knees and doubled over, clutching his stomach.
Luffy's breaths were coming in harsh gasps as he tried to breath between the coughing. He felt his lungs seize up as he started to retch, blood gushing from his mouth between desperate gasps. Ussop screamed and rushed out to find towels as Nami's eyes teared up and she turned her face into Robin's chest. Chopper was frantically flipping through his medical books, trying to think of anything he could do. Sanji turned away and stood at the counter, dropping his cigarette and grinding it out under his heel.
Zoro walked to the door and met Robin's eyes as he brushed past the abnormally pale woman. The first mate walked over to the mast and sat, putting his back to it so he could face the kitchen door. He reached a hand into his belly warmer and pulled out the den den mushi. He glared at it, the gotee, dark bags under the eyes and the weird circular symbol with the slash through it. 'I had hoped I would never have to call this creepy bastard.'
