"It seems like we truly reached the Sky Island. Oh no, the Log Pose is still pointing up." Nami screamed upon examining her Log Pose.
"Is that so? Then, it must be because Sky Island is above us. Let's find more information about this place."
Robin chuckled as she answered.
Clack!
The door of the cabin opened and anxious Chopper ran out.
"Chopper! What happened?"
Seeing his anxious face, everyone tensed up. They were extremely worried about Liam and Luffy's condition.
Right now, both Captain and Vice Captain have been knocked out.
"Sanji, we need food, a lot of food. Their bodies have been hollowed out. Although I have already patched their injuries, they still need a lot of food to properly recover."
Chopper anxiously looked at Sanji and spoke.
"Is that so? Then, you don't have to worry. I have prepared a lot of ingredients already. Wait for a few minutes!" Sanji smiled and walked into the kitchen with his sleeves up.
He knew making food for his captain and vice-captain was going to be a pain in the ass. But, he knew he had to do at least something to prove his worth for this crew.
Cooking was his field. He wasn't going to let his captain and vice-captain starve after saving them.
While Sanji moved inside, Zoro gritted his teeth.
Unlike Sanji, he was the combatant of the crew. And, while Captain and Vice-Captain were fighting, he was just standing away, fear of getting in the way of his captain and vice-captain.
Unlike Sanji, the only way he could prove his worth to the crew was by fighting. So, he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He started picking up the weights and started doing heavy exercises. But, he found that his breathing was getting harder and harder.
"Zoro, don't train right now! We are thousands of meters into the air. We need some time to let our body adjust to this height." Seeing his struggling appearance, Robin couldn't help but stop him.
Hearing her words, Zoro stopped for a moment and started controlling his breathing.
"Zoro, I know we are all feeling useless but you shouldn't push yourself too hard." Seeing his expression, Nami frowned and walked forward, trying to calm him down.
"Nami, you don't understand." Zoro spoke without even looking at her. Then, he continued without even thinking about the consequences of his words.
"You are our Navigator. Without you, we can't even sail in the Grandline. And, you proved that again when you made this ship sail into the Knock Out Stream."
"That ero cook is not only a fighter but also a cook. Without his food, we won't be able to survive in this sea. Robin has a unique presence in our ship as she is the person who can truly make Luffy Pirate King."
"Chopper is a doctor, I don't need to say much. Even though Usopp isn't strong, he is still a sniper on our crew. He has even awakened his Observation Haki."
"I am the combatant of the ship. My job is to fight against our enemies. If I can't even help my captain and vice-captain fight, what's the worth of my position in this crew?"
"What's the point of my dream of becoming the Greatest Swordsman in the world if I can't even do my job properly?"
His voice wasn't loud but it sounded struggling. Yes, Zoro was truly struggling. At this moment, he truly didn't want to fail his captain and vice-captain but his strength was too weak right now.
"But Zoro, that's not all you are to us." Usopp who was silent for a moment finally spoke.
His voice brought the attention of everyone toward him.
"Luffy is a captain and he might be the strongest in our crew but he is also an idiot. Liam is a vice-captain and he might be the second strongest but he is focused on the greater things and training and fighting stronger people."
"But, you are different, Zoro. You have not only fought the stronger people but also kept protecting us. As you said, I am weak. Nami isn't strong either. Chopper might be a little stronger than us but he isn't that strong."
"You are the one who keeps the whole crew safe while our captain and vice-captain face our strongest enemies."
"We only started our journey right now. Our enemies are bound to be stronger and at that moment, our captain and vice-captain had to fight together. During this time, our whole crew is in danger but no one is afraid of them."
"Because you are with us. That's why Luffy and Liam always leave our safety in your hand. Yes, you might not be able to help Captain and Vice-Captain but you are not only the combatant of this ship but also the guardian."
When Usopp finished speaking, everyone looked at him with a lot of surprised gazes and speechless emotions.
"Are you truly Usopp?" Nami couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Do you think I am stupid?" Usopp growled at her angrily.
"No, no, we were just surprised that you could speak so well." Zoro shook his head and walked in front of Usopp.
Zoro puts a smile on his serious face as he spoke.
"Thank you, Usopp!"
Usopp shook his head and said.
"It's okay. I need you to protect me."
When Usopp revealed the main reason why he called Zoro guardian, everyone burst into laughter.
Soon, Sanji came out with a lot of food and they took those massive utensils inside the cabin where Liam and Luffy were sleeping.
Their bodies were truly hollowed out. They were skinny and their whole skill had wrinkled.
But, they seemed to be awake. Their eyes were opened so when they smelled the food, they immediately stood up on their bed.
Both of them heard Zoro and Usopp's conversation but they knew that it wasn't something they would need to interfere.
This crew wasn't a random crew. Each of them had their own job in the crew and it wasn't a single job.
So, Usopp wasn't wrong. While being combatant, Zoro's job is also to keep the crew safe.
Luffy and Liam didn't even say hello to others before swallowing the food like a devourer. The entire badge of food didn't even last more than four minutes before it was emptied out.
Every one was speechless with their jaws dropping to the ground.
Luffy and Liam's condition started to recover and Sanji painfully left to make more food.
"Moss Head, Usopp, help me get some creatures from this White Sea. The ingredients are almost finished." Sanji shouted from outside
Just when he said that Liam's eyes flashed. He remembered something and immediately spoke.
"Usopp, don't try to swim in this White Sea. There is no bottom here."
Usopp nodded his head and walked out with a fishing rod.
"Liam!"
Nami jumped into his embrace as she shouted.
"You bastard, you worried me so much."
She was literally shaking. But, she realized that she was missing something so she just raised her head from Liam's embrace and spoke.
"Luffy, I'm glad you are okay."
After saying that, she completely ignored Luffy and continued to embrace Liam.
Luffy felt offended but he didn't care.
"Sanji, bring out more food!" He shouted from the room.
"Wait, wait!" Sanji shouted from the kitchen with some irritation in his eyes.
"Luffy-san, are you feeling good?" Vivi walked closer to Luffy and cautiously asked.
"Shishishi! I am already feeling good, Vivi. By the way, are we already in Sky Island?" Luffy chuckled for a moment and asked.
"No, we should be still in the middle section of the Sky Island." Liam shook his head from Nami's embrace which was making it harder for him to breathe and spoke.
He didn't push away Nami though. He knew that Nami was genuinely scared of losing him so it wouldn't be good to push her away.
"That's great! I can't wait to go on an adventure in Sky Island." Luffy excitedly raised his hands and shouted.
"Luffy, don't forget about training. Right now, I have used all of my accumulated luck which means if we face another Admiral, we will surely die."
"And, considering our threat level, Marine would do anything to either kill us or send us to Impel Down. Even with your grandfather's status, he won't be able to prevent the Marines from taking action against you."
Liam solemnly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, the temperature inside the room got down as everyone began to get serious. Even Luffy is serious about this.
Sensing the mood, Liam didn't continue putting a serious face instead he chuckled and said.
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much. At least, we will be safe for now. If my information is not wrong, we will face an extremely fast person with a powerful Observation Haki."
"You already know the feeling of using Future Sight so you should be able to comprehend Future Sight in your battle with him."
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but get curious.
"Who are we going to face?"
"Enel, self-proclaimed god of Sky Island. A man who ate Goro-Goro No Mi."
Liam said it with a mysterious smile on his face.
