-3 hours later-
Luffy was still climbing while the other two hung on for dear life. Nami was still tied to Luffy's back, Grace was tied to Greg's back, and Sanji and Greg held onto Luffy's legs and were talking to keep their minds off how high they were.
"So...you wanna b-be a fi-fireman?" Sanji stuttered as the cold was getting to him and Greg.
"Yeah." Greg said. "It's b-been my dream since I w-was younger." he stuttered. "That's wh-why I volunteered to j-joined you guys up the mountain." "I can see the top." Luffy said. All three of them looked to see the top just a little further away. Luffy kept on climbing until he managed to pull them to the top before Sanji and Greg let go of his legs.
"Nice...castle." Sanji said. All three men were chilled to the bone as they slowly started walking towards the castle. They got halfway there before Sanji and Greg's strength gave out and fell to their knees.
"So...close." Greg said before he passed out.
"Gotta...get the ladies...to the...doctor." Sanji said, fighting to stay awake.
"Hang on guys." Luffy said before picking them up in each arm. "We're almost there." He started walking before he saw two figures approaching and smiled.
"Looks like we've got some patients Chopper." said Dr. Kureha as she looked at Luffy. "Climbing up 3 miles of mountain in only that? You must be crazy kid."
"It's nothing." Luffy said as he wobbled a bit, now starting to feel his strength go as well. "Please...help my friends." he said, causing Chopper to look at him.
"Don't worry boy." she said. "You and your friends will be okay." Luffy smiled before setting his friends down and falling down in the snow.
"Let's get to work Chopper." she said.
-Somewhere on the island-
"Come on Usopp." Vivi grunted as she pulled Usopp out of the snow. She and Usopp went chasing after Dalton, only to get lost before the avalanche came.
"Vivi, stop shouting." Usopp said with a strange smile on his face. "I'm having a wondeful dream. I see a world full of beautiful flowers unlike any I've ever seen." "That's Heaven!" Vivi shouted as she started slapping him. "WAKE UP!"
"AHH!" Usopp shouted before falling back asleep. "It's another great adventure of the Usopp Pirates!" he mumbled.
"NO MR. USOPP! DON'T DIE!" Vivi yelled in panic before slapping him until he finally woke up.
"Thanks for helping me Vivi." Usopp said as he reached up to his swollen face. "But why does my face hurt a lot?"
"Nothing." she said. "I'm just glad you're alive. It's only frostbite. Anyway, let's find the others." she said before seeing something jump up from under the snow.
"What now?!" Usopp shrieked before they saw it was Zoro.
"Snow? Where'd all those flowers go?" Zoro mumbled before seeing Vivi there. "Oh. Hey Vivi and..." he said as he stared at Usopp's swollen face, recognizing him because of his nose. "Hey Usopp. Why are you here?" "THAT'S OUR LINE!" they yelled. Soon, all three were now walking and arguing about Zoro swimming in the river and getting lost before he begged them for some of their clothing.
"Look!" Vivi shouted. "Those houses...we're back at Big Horn!" she said. They kept walking until they heard screaming and started running and joined the villagers who were hiding from the chaos. "What's going on?"
"Dalton and those pirates from before are fighting against Wapol's men." one of them said before seeing Zoro in only pants. "YOU DO REALIZE IT'S FREEZING OUTSIDE, DON'T YOU?!"
"Let's help them." Zoro said as he started walking through the crowd and saw everything. Dalton was back in his half and half form and slashing at some of Wapol's men, Gin was smashing another in the ribs with his tonfa, and Alvida was calming walking towards another as he shot at her only to have the bullets slip away from her. "Looks like they're doing fine." Usopp said before they heard some villagers yelling.
"Alright! Throw down your weapons, or we'll open fire!" one of the soldiers yelled as he and 4 other soldiers were now aiming at some of the villagers.
"Hmph! Can't stop us, so you're aiming at the weak?" Gin asked in annoyance.
"Shut up!" he yelled before grinning. "It's your fault for not surrendering when we told you to earlier. Anyone wanna play hero now, step up!" he shouted. Faster than anyone could blink, Zoro came out of nowhere and smashed the guy's jaw with his fist, knocking him out.
"Mr. Bushido!" Vivi shouted.
"Zoro?" Alvida said in confusion.
"Are you mad? They'll shoot the villagers!" one of them shouted. "Ah. These clothes are warm!" Zoro said, now wearing the soldier's uniform and laughing.
"YOU STOLE HIS CLOTHES?!" many of them shouted while Zoro took the soldiers sword.
"Who's first?" Zoro asked.
"We warned you!" shouted one of the soldiers as they prepared to fire at the villagers.
"SPECIAL ATTACK! EXPLODING STAR!" shouted Usopp before the four other soldiers were hit with explosions. With the villagers safe, the Straw Hats began to whip the soldiers asses.
-In the castle-
Nami and Grace were lying in bed with ice bags on their heads. Nami slowly began to wake up and look around to until she saw a strange creature walking around. "Who...are you?" she asked, causing the creature to jump back away from her and crash into some furniture before running and hiding. Nami just looked at him while he looked back at her while shaking and poorly hiding.
"You're doing it wrong." she said, making him gasp and correct himself. "Too late. I know you're there."
"Be quiet human!" Chopper shouted. "AND...how are you feeling?" he asked before Dr. Kureha yelled at him and he fled.
"Awake now, are we?" Dr. Kureha asked with a smile and a laugh. "Feeling better?"
"Who are you?" Nami asked as Kureha felt her forehead with a finger while drinking.
"Looks like your fever's gone down. Good." she said. "I'm Dr. Kureha. Call me Doctorine."
"Doctor? Then we're-" "You wish to know about my youth?" Kureha asked.
"I didn't ask about that." Nami said.
"You two are in the castle atop the mountain." Kureha said.
"Two? Grace!" Nami said before looking around and seeing Grace resting comfortably next to her and sighing in relief. "She's okay too. Where are the other three guys who were with us?"
"Sleeping in the next room." Kureha said. "Such loud snorers too."
"You two aren't any quieter." Grace said from under the covers.
