Everything starts on the shoulders of giants. The kind of creation that starts from nothing and starts from nothing is extremely rare. The faint white flame cloud around him seemed to have become a little more solid than before.
Even Zoro could see it.
The two weightlifters here are exchanging tips.
"Hey, Usopp, stop bragging and go fold up the mainsail!"
"Huh? Isn't the weather nice?"
"Stop talking nonsense! The wind direction and cloud cover have changed; something feels off. Go quickly!"
Nami's voice carried a hint of imperceptible urgency, and her tone was unusually weak, lacking its usual vigor and even sounding somewhat feeble.
Although Usopp, who was writing his grand adventure story, was puzzled, he dared not disobey the navigator's orders and climbed up the mast using both his hands and feet.
Nami leaned against the cabin door frame, her face pale and beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
She took a deep breath, turned her gaze to Robin, who was leisurely sitting on the railing reading a book, her lips moved as if she were having some difficulty speaking, but she still managed to say:
"Hey Miss. Captive, why don't you go help Usopp too? The wind direction is getting a bit messy, and one person can't adjust it."
"Oh? Miss Nami actually asked me, a prisoner with an unclear allegiance, to help her." Robin closed the book, stood up gracefully, and smiled.
But soon, she noticed that Nami's fingers, which were gripping the door frame, were trembling slightly, and her complexion was much worse than usual.
"Stop arguing! Just go when I tell you to!"
Nami forced a glare at her, but her voice clearly lacked confidence.
Just as Robin was about to say something, Luffy's hand had already reached over in a few quick movements.
His rudimentary knowledge of fur medicine, which he had been forcibly instilled in him, allowed him to immediately see that something was wrong with Nami.
His face was flushed, and there was a faint sheen of cold sweat on his forehead.
The last time Luffy saw this situation was with Uta.
She has a fever.
Nami's situation seems somewhat different from Uta's.
"Nami, you..."
Just as Luffy opened his mouth, Nami suddenly reached out and covered his mouth with her cool hand. Then, without saying a word, she grabbed Luffy's arm and dragged him toward the girls' room, saying, "Come in with me for a moment."
Luffy was half-pushed and half-pulled into the room by Nami. Everyone was carrying out the orders Nami had just given and didn't pay attention to this side for a moment, but Robin frowned slightly.
Inside the room, the moment Nami closed the door, the last breath she had been holding onto seemed to vanish instantly. Her body went limp, and she was about to slip and fall to the ground.
Luffy reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and catching her securely.
Nami leaned against him, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible, "Sorry, my legs are a little light, I can't stand up..."
Luffy looked down and saw that Nami's cheeks were flushed an abnormally, and her breathing was rapid and hot.
He reached out and touched her forehead with the back of his hand; it was burning hot to the touch.
"Nami, you have a fever. And it's very high, not just a normal fever."
"I'm fine."
Nami tried to remain defiant, struggling to stand up, but she was too weak. "I'll be fine after a rest... I probably caught a bit of a chill yesterday..."
Chapter 93 This is the Captain
Without saying a word, Luffy picked her up and gently placed her on the bed, then pulled the blanket over her.
Looking at Nami lying in bed, who had lost her usual shrewdness and strength, her messy orange hair clung to her sweaty forehead, and her eyes, which always shone with the Beli symbol or a calculating light, were now half-open and somewhat hazy, gazing longingly at Luffy, revealing a rare tenderness and obedience, like a sick kitten with drooping ears.
Luffy said, "I'll go get you your medicine."
He turned around to search for the first-aid kit on the ship.
Although his skills as the acting ship's doctor were mediocre, he still recognized several types of fever reducers.
"Wait for Luffy."
Nami reached out from under the covers and gently tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Don't tell anyone about this... especially Vivi."
Luffy turned around in confusion and asked, "Why?"
"Follow the tracking pointer, head straight for Alabasta," Nami said, a little groggy and panting.
"We don't have any time to waste."
Luffy refused: "The patient has no say right now. The most important thing you should do is listen to me."
Nami fumbled for something on her person. "Listen to me first, I have a newspaper on me... three days' worth..."
She fumbled around for a long time but couldn't find it.
Luffy lost his patience and, worried about delaying her treatment, reached into her coat pocket and quickly pulled out a folded newspaper.
I picked up the newspaper; it was still slightly warm. I flipped through it; the date was three days ago.
Luffy immediately understood the reason.
The above is a report about the Kingdom of Alabasta. The kingdom's army, which was suppressing the rebels, originally had an absolute numerical advantage, but now half of its forces have defected.
It's obvious that Crocodile was behind this.
This is the most critical time for Vivi's country. The situation is indeed dire, and the internal strife in Alabasta is escalating.
As a princess, she had to get back quickly.
"So my illness might have come at the wrong time... cough cough."
Nami had had fevers before, but this time it felt completely different; it came on suddenly and gave her a bad feeling.
She didn't believe Luffy's limited medical knowledge could handle such a strange illness, and she was even more worried that she would feel guilty if Vivi's return home was delayed because of her.
Although there were some disagreements between Vivi and me, those were internal matters.
As a partner, Nami respects Vivi in every way. For a princess of a nation to infiltrate and become a secret agent is something not everyone can do.
Nami herself had experienced the oppression of the dragon and knew that feeling of helplessness. She didn't want Vivi's hopes to be shattered because of her illness.
Nami squinted, her voice weak: "Don't worry, it's just a fever..."
"I cannot agree to that."
Luffy standing up is certainly admirable; his self-sacrifice and consideration for his crew are commendable.
"But Nami, you should talk to the person in question about this."
As if to confirm Luffy's words, the door to the room was gently pushed open a crack.
Vivi stood at the door, her face full of worry and anxiety. Behind her were Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, and Robin, who was holding Merry.
Clearly, their companions outside had already sensed that something was wrong.
Why is everyone here?
Nami was both amused and exasperated. Did she really look that off?
She was quite confident in her acting skills before.
Sanji and Usopp rushed in immediately, both looking like they had tears in their eyes.
The importance of a navigator to a ship is self-evident. At Nami's command, even Zoro, who is the most difficult to command, acted without hesitation, which shows the authority of the ship's lord.
"Why do you all look like Nami is about to die?"
Luffy stepped forward and pushed the two of them outside.
He is the one who has truly matured.
In the past, he might have already joined the ranks of these two, but as the captain, he couldn't act rashly.
"Nami needs to rest now. Tell me about the voyage. I don't know what's wrong with her yet, but it's probably not a common fever. Please don't come any closer..."
"Sanji, go and cook some light porridge. Nami needs to replenish her energy. Usopp, Zoro, you two work with Merry to maintain the established course for now, but be prepared to change course at any time."
The commands were clear and concise, without any unnecessary delays.
Although Merry struggled in Robin's arms, her little face full of anxiety as she tried to come over, Luffy's words made her turn back every few steps and follow Usopp and the others out first.
"Nami, let's go find an island with a doctor right away," Vivi said with a determined look in her eyes.
“But Vivi…” Nami gasped for breath.
“There’s no ‘buts.’ I believe the Going Merry can get to Alabasta as quickly as possible.” Vivi said, holding Nami’s hand. “Alabasta is important and needs me. But you are just as important and need me.”
Admittedly, it's difficult for Vivi to choose between Nami and the Alabasta Kingdom. She carries the mission of Alabasta, but Nami is equally important; she has already considered Vivi a comrade on this ship.
Vivi then looked up at Luffy, remembering that there was a kingdom near Alabasta famous for its medical skills, and that she could go there.
The only bad news is that there is no record pointer for that location.
But now that the situation has been decided, Nami is in a daze and can't say anything.
Patients should listen to their doctors.
The most urgent task now is to determine Nami's condition. Luffy and Vivi are the only two people on the ship who have some medical knowledge.
Vivi picked up a damp towel and placed it on Nami's forehead. "It's probably because of the climate zone. The first hurdle that crew members encounter when they come to the Grand Line is illness caused by the abnormal weather..."
Based on her experience, it is not uncommon for pirates, no matter how strong they are in any sea, to die suddenly for this reason.
Luffy was aware of this as well, having read about the weather conditions along the Grand Line.
In meteorology, the islands of the Grand Line are divided into four categories: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Islands, and each island has its own four seasons.
To adapt to the Grand Line, one must navigate through sixteen phases of climate change, from summer on Summer Island to winter on East Island. There are also many other unclassifiable islands and locations with unusual climates.
but......
"I think I've seen Nami with similar symptoms before," Robin thought to herself.
Luffy was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Where?"
This is extremely important.
