The Explorer of the Universe

"Friends, someday I will definitely go to the village of Elbaf knights!" Usopp said with pride.

"Yes, okay!" Luffy.

While Luffy and Usopp were dancing, Tanaka saw a limp-looking Nami leaning over the main mast of the Going Merry.

He immediately approached Nami to check on her condition.

Tanaka forgets something very important to Nami while in the little garden and she only realizes when she sees Nami's abnormal condition.

"I should be able to prevent this if only I remembered." Think Tanaka.

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look good right now." Ask Tanaka.

Nami shook her head, "it's okay, I just feel a little tired." Nami said while holding her own forehead. "Vivi, can you keep an eye on this compass?"

Nami gives Eternal Pose Alabasta to Vivi. While Tanaka held Nami's hand and it felt a little higher in temperature than a normal person's.

"Damn, this is really happening." Think Tanaka.

Meanwhile, Vivi accepts the Eternal Pose and looks at it intently, unaware of Nami's oddity.

"In this way, you can finally return to Alabasta, yes. Well, that's even if we can get there safely." Said Nami who had started to feel difficulty breathing.

"Yes, I will definitely be back! Because the only one who can save the kingdom is me. I will definitely return to Alabasta alive." Vivi.

"Don't push yourself too hard, Vivi-chan." Say Sanji while carrying a cake with a tray in his hand. "There's me! Time to relax and enjoy petit fours? You two want coffee or tea?"

Luffy, Usopp and Karu who heard there was food immediately stared at Sanji's artificial cake with saliva on their lips.

"Well, you guys in the kitchen!" Sanji.

The three of them ran straight to the kitchen. After taking one Sanji cake and eating it.

While Tanaka is still monitoring the state of Nami who began to sweat a lot on his forehead.

"Nami, you're not okay, just rest in your room." Tanaka Pinta.

"Yes, I see you are not in good health, rest Nami." Said Vivi who began to realize the strangeness of Nami. "Give me to keep an eye on the ship's route."

"Yes, sorry about ... " Said Nami who could not finish her sentence because she immediately collapsed onto the floor of the ship due to fainting.

"Nami, hey! Nami!" Call Tanaka who's trying to resuscitate Nami.

He also touched Nami's forehead which felt very hot, indicating Nami was in a severe fever.

"Everything! Lusty!" Shouted Vivi when she saw Nami faint.

Luffy and the others immediately stopped their activities as Vivi shouted.

"What's Vivi?" Ask Luffy.

Meanwhile, Tanaka mindlessly lifts Nami's bridal style body towards the female resting cabin accompanied by Vivi, Sanji, Usopp, Luffy and Karu.

Zoro did not participate because he was given the responsibility to keep the ship's route in accordance with the direction of the Eternal Pose needle.

Arriving at the front door of the female cabin break, "Vivi, please open the door for me!" Tanaka Pinta.

Vivi did as Tanaka ordered and I laid Nami's body on the bed carefully, enveloping Nami's body.

"Promise, make some warm water and bring some clean little towels!" Tanaka Pinta.

"Good!" Said Sanji who immediately went to the kitchen to make warm water.

"I'm helping you!" Said Usopp who went with Sanji.

"Vivi, can you change Nami's clothes with thicker clothes, her clothes are wet with sweat coming out of her body." Tanaka Pinta. "But before you put on your clothes, you have to wipe your whole body with warm water."

"Good!" Vivi.

After that the men immediately exited the cabin, letting Vivi do her job.

"Is Nami okay Tanaka?" Ask Luffy.

Tanaka shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not a doctor, so can't give an answer to that." Tanaka. "I can only give first aid, the rest I don't know."

"It's warm water and a clean little towel." Sanji.

Tanaka nodded her head and told Vivi about it.

Vivi opened the door slightly, receiving one small pot and some towels brought by Sanji. He returned to the cabin, closing the door.

After everything was done, Vivi came out to ask everyone to enter the cabin again.

"How is he doing?" Tanaka asked while looking at Nami who was lying down with a blanket covering her body until her neck and a small wet towel were on her forehead.

"Nami has a pretty severe fever." Answer Vivi. "He must be treated by a doctor immediately."

"Is Nami-san going to die? What is it, Vivi-chan?" Sanji asked while biting a handkerchief and crying.

"Maybe it's the weather." Say Vivi while compressing Nami again. "One of the obstacles that pirates enter the Grand Line is the disease caused by the weather." Vivi.

"Anything so powerful pirates are not infrequently they are also victims of the violence of the weather here. No matter how small the symptoms of the disease, can make the life of the sufferer float." Vivi.

"No, it's not the weather, I'm sure it's the bacteria that came in when we were in the little garden." Denying Tanaka.

"What bacteria?" Ask Vivi.

Tanaka was silent for a moment because he couldn't explain it, but he was sure that Nami was sick from the bacteria.

Sanji cried when he heard that.

"Is anyone on this ship aware of medical science?" Ask Vivi.

Luffy and Usopp then pointed at Tanaka.

"I only know first aid." Answer Tanaka.

"But, instead of eating meat makes the disease cured? Isn't that right, Sanji?" Asked Luffy innocently.

"He's not you Luffy!" Thought Tanaka was sweetdrop.

"He's really stupid!" Sengo.

"I can cook food for the sick, but medical problems are medical matters. There's no guarantee my cooking will cure." Sanji Clear.

"And again, for nutritional needs, Nami and Vivi, I'm 100 times more attentive than you. I serve fresh meat, vegetables and balanced nutrition to them. As for the ugly ones I gave you." Sanji.

"Oi!" Said the angry Usopp.

"Despite that, your cooking is still very delicious, Sanji." Think Tanaka.

"But it tastes good, huh?" Ask Luffy.

"Obviously, as long as I'm a chef on this ship, there won't be any problems with the nutritional and nutritional needs of food." Sanji Strictly.

"But, for a sick person, the food given is different. What symptoms? What nutrients does it need? That's why I don't understand." Sanji.

"If so, let him eat everything!" Luffy said casually.

"Which sick person could possibly eat that much!" Said Sanji who sighed.

"40 degrees? The heat's going up again!" Say Vivi while checking the thermometer to check Nami's body temperature.

"In Alabasta there's a doctor, right? And how long are we gonna be there, Vivi?" Ask Usopp.

"It's gonna take a long time and Nami could die!" Answer Tanaka. "We're in a sea of Grand Lines that can all be fickle uncontrollably, unlike the ocean of the East Blue."

"We can get to Alabasta, weekly, monthly or even yearly and at that time Nami will not be able to survive because we did not get medical treatment from a doctor!" Tanaka Assert.

"Are sick people bad?" Ask the confused Luffy.

"I never get sick." Say Sanji and Usopp at the same time.

Tanaka just let out a long breath.

"What kind of creature are you?!" Vivi said furiously. "Of course it's bad! Heat up to 40 degrees is rare! This disease could have taken his life!"

Luffy, Usopp, Sanji and Karu immediately stirred up, upsetting Tanaka.

"Shut up!" Tanaka shouted that made them instantly silent. "We must stop at the island that there is a sign of human life and find a doctor in that place to cure Nami!"

"No." Said Nami who was conscious and took a sitting position on her mattress.

"Nami?" Said Vivi who immediately helped Nami.

"Oh, it's healed!" Said the happy Luffy

"Where is it possible?!" Said Usopp while hitting Luffy on the head.

"In my drawer, there's a newspaper, right?" Nami. "Please get it."

Vivi took the newspaper in the drawer and then looked at the writing and images in the newspaper's headline

"Ti-No! It can't be!" Said Vivi who was shocked and could not believe what she saw.

"Hey, what's up?" Ask Luffy.

"About Alabasta huh, Vivi?" Ask Sanji.

"300 thousand royal soldiers defected to the rebel side." Vivi read the news written there.

"If it were so, the revolt in Alabasta would be even worse. It was a newspaper three days ago." Reveal Nami with her body sweat again and wet her warm clothes.

"I'm sorry, even though I told you, Vivi, we can't speed up the ship, so because I don't want you to worry, I didn't tell you." Obviously Nami. "Do you understand, Luffy?"

"It looks so bad!" Luffy.

"If you can understand a little, great." Nami.

"But you should be checked by a doctor!" Usopp.

"I'm fine, the thermometer may be broken. Where any human has a body heat of 40 degrees." Nami. "Maybe due to exposure to sunlight."

"No need to see a doctor, I can definitely heal myself." Nami said and tried to get up from the bed. "For the time being, we just keep heading towards Alabasta! Thank you for worrying about me."

Tanaka immediately held her back and made her lie down on the mattress again, enveloping her body all the way to the neck.

"The sick person must rest a lot, so as not to become more severe pain." Tanaka. "The thing is we're going to head to Alabasta or find a doctor for you, it's Luffy's decision as captain of this ship."

Luffy was only silent as he was confused as to what decision he would take whereas Vivi was just sitting on the cabin floor thinking about the condition of her kingdom.

"Haaaa~"

Tanaka let out a long sigh from seeing that. But with this Luffy will learn to be a leader who has great responsibility.

Nami tries to get up from her bed again, but Tanaka tries to prevent her from doing that.

"Let me do my job as navigator, Tanaka!" Nami said pleading. "I'll be fine, I'll be well."

Tanaka simply fell silent and no longer prevented Nami from getting up from her bed. She walks out of the room and Tanaka just stares at Nami's departure with a flat face.

"Liar..." Tanaka muttered which soon followed Nami.

"Basic! What are you watching?!" Nami said while outside the cabin and standing next to Zoro who was sitting on the front fence of the versatile cabin.

"Whatchu mean? The boat kept going straight, tau!" Said Zoro who did not accept.

"Yes, it should lead to the right angle! Look at the compass!" Pinta Nami while looking at the compass needle held by Zoro.

Tanaka was already beside Nami to watch over the woman because she could pass out at any time.

"Not to be seen, I'm just following the big cloud." Zoro said as he pointed at a cloud.

"He's stupid too! How can you trust navigation in a person who follows only the clouds rather than the compass!" Sengo.

Tanaka can not argue because it is like Zoro who has a weakness blind direction.

"The cloud can move and change shape, you know!" Nami said and then held her head. "Oh, no, my head's about to break."

"That's why leave it to me, you rest enough to get well!" Zoro.

"I came here because I couldn't give it to you." Nami said, then remained silent for a moment. "The air pressure's changed."

"Air? The weather is bright." Zoro said in confusion while looking at the sky.

"No need to comment, call the others!" Nami Pinta.

"Hey guys, come out! Work!" Zoro called out to the others.

"What's wrong?" Luffy.

"What's wrong? If you tell, you want to be lazy, yes!" Sanji.

Zoro ignored Sanji's complaint and gave his orders to Luffy and the others.

"What happened to Nami? The waves are calm and the weather is bright." Sanji.

Nami tells Sanji and the others about what they will face up front.

"There's a big wind.that leads to our ship.maybe, anyway." Nami.

Luffy then suddenly touched Nami's forehead. "Hot! You're so hot! Come inside and we'll find a doctor!" Luffy's orders.

"Don't talk at will! My body temperature is like this! Don't be stupid and quickly bring the rope!" Nami's orders.

"Nami, I know you're doing this for Vivi, but if you push yourself too hard..." Sanji.

"I told you I'm fine!" Nami said furiously.

After the ship was moved according to Nami's orders, Tanaka who had been silent spoke up because he could not allow the selfishness of Nami who would endanger his own life.

"Until when are you going to lie!" Tanaka made them all look at him. "Your fever is no ordinary fever! We need to get you to a doctor!"

"I told you I'm fine!" Deny Nami.

"No! You're not okay!" Denying Tanaka. "You should rest and get medical care from a doctor!"

However, Nami still maintained his selfishness and made Tanaka more upset. He could no longer hold back his emotions.

"If it's death you want, I'll give you that death right now!" Said Tanaka with a sharp gaze, flat face and a cold tone of speech.

He also took out a bit of Honjo from his scabbard. Tanaka chose Honjo over Sengo because the sword could not kill living things.

He just bluffed Nami not to be selfish anymore, not serious about his words. If he was serious, Tanaka would not use Honjo but Sengo.

Nami shuddered in fear as she looked at Tanaka like that and made her move slightly away from Tanaka.

"Are you crazy, Tanaka!" Shouted Sanji who immediately ran towards Tanaka's place.

Zoro immediately held the hand of Tanaka who was holding the sword of Honjo. A little while later Sanji also held the man's hand.

"What are you thinking?!" Zoro.

"I'll kill you if you hurt Nami!" Sanji.

"Let go!!" Said Tanaka who then used the force of his force, throwing the bodies of the two of them.

"Everyone listen, I have a request!" Said Vivi who had just exited the cabin, making Tanaka stop the action and put Honjo back into the sheath.

Tanaka looked at Nami who looked frightened and that made her sigh long.

"I think I've been too late?" Think Tanaka. "I'll apologize to her later."

"As a person who hitchhiked on this ship, I have no right to ask, but my hometown is currently in a mess, so I have to come back soon! We can't waste time! So I want this ship to go straight to Alabasta at full speed!"

Tanaka and the others were silent to Vivi's words and only Nami spoke.

"Of course, haven't we promised?" Said Nami who was not scared anymore but a little more away from Tanaka.

"Then, let's find the island with the doctor! Let's heal Nami and then go to Alabasta! Isn't that his top speed?" Ask Vivi.

Luffy and the others immediately smiled hearing that and Tanaka just shook his head.

"That's what you should have said first, you almost made them misunderstand." Think Tanaka.

"Surely, nothing is faster than this ship!" Luffy said with a grinning smile.

"Are you sure? As a princess, you should be more worried about your millions." Ask Usopp.

"True, that's why we have to cure Nami!" Firm Vivi.

"You're so good, Vivi! I'm getting more and more heartbroken!" Say Sanji with lope-lope eyes.

"Good speech." Zoro.

"Thank you..." Nami who was no longer strong stood up.

Tanaka who was nearby immediately restrained Nami's body by embracing her. Vivi did the same on the left.

"Tanaka, you looked scary." Nami. "Are you seriously doing that?"

"Sorry, I was just bluffing." Tanaka. "I just don't like you ignoring yourself for the sake of others, whereas you're currently not in good shape."

"Thank you, Tanaka." Nami said and then she fell asleep.

"Vivi take Nami to her bed, let her rest." Tanaka Pinta.

Vivi nodded her head and while about to go to the female rest cabin she heard Luffy yell.

"Waaaah! What's that!" Shouted Luffy while pointing at a sizable wind vortex.

"That's a tornado!" Answer Sanji.

"Big!" Usopp Shouts.

"It's where we were." Sanji.

"If only we had not gone from that place because of Nami's command ... " Said Usopp.

"We're gonna get in trouble!" Luffy finished Usopp's speech.

Vivi who saw the tornado could only fall silent and then look at Nami.

"Great, no navigator can predict the appearance of tornadoes in the Grand Line." Said Vivi who was still surprised. "But he, not only predicted the weather based on the theory but also his body could sense the changes in the weather, I've never seen any navigator so great."

"That's how great our navigator is, please take him to his room and take care of him, leave the navigation to me." Said Tanaka. "i'll make sure we find the island and get a doctor to take care of it."

Vivi nods her head and she takes Nami to the women's rest cabin.
