"Something happens?" Asked him, when he sees Igaram fretting over Vivi.

"The Princess had been bitten by a mosquito! She needs medical care immediately!" Overacted the man while ruing around.

"I "an alright, Igaram! There is no need to worry about this!" Snap Vivi, starting to become irritated by the man.

"He is right," Say, Alex, attracting everyone attention." It"s a prehistoric island, the creatures here hadn"t evolved from million years and carry diseases that are thoughts extinct in our actual world. Mosquitos are known to be one of the worst disease carriers; if we don"t immediately seek medical a.s.sistance for you, you could very well lose your life." Say him seriously.

As they learned that he was never the one to joke on that sort of thing, all whiten from the news.

"Fortunately, unfortunately, there is an island that is reputed to have the best doctor. The good news is that we are under less than five days from it, around three. The bad news is that this island isn"t on our road, meaning there is a high chance that we miss it. but that, not the worst."

"What can be worst than that!" Yell Igaram.

"It"s Wapol" island." Say him.

The Princess and the guard expression immediately darken.

"Knowing the man, he would not only refuse to help but also use this situation for his advantage; regretfully we don"t have a choice, we will have to think of something once there. I have with me unattended Log Pose, with any chance, it will be able to sync with the island electromagnetic field. I can isolate our road field to give use more chance, but it will be fifty-fifty. Best chance is to sail toward Sandy island and try to catch it mid-way."

Needlessly to say, Igaram, Vivi and everyone else was floored by what he said—trying to catch another road midway between two islands while on another one? Madness! But even then, it was their only chance.

##################################

As they sails, Igaram was pensively thinking at everything he had witnessed from the young man since they had started to sail with them.

Not only was he of a rare breed, but his sheer ingeniously and abilities were mindblowing. If the World Government were to be aware of that potential, they would either kill him or imprison him for their uses.

"Those seas are unpredictable, to made us cross path with such individual..."

##################################

Few hours after they set sail, Alex words turn true for their greatest fear. Vivi had fallen, powerless, and with an ever-increasing fever.

"Can"t you do something?" Asked the worried man to Alex.

"No, it too early to act, if I take a Log Pose now, it could sync on Little Garden. I have only eight of them; we can"t waste them. But we can speed the boat. KITTEN LAUNCH THE MOTORS!"

"ON IT HIBBY!"

At this, they all feel a sudden slight boost in speed.

"That should help, with them, we would be able to cross the distance in a third less of time."

Igaram nod gratefully at him, knowing that it was more than any other could have done in his position.

##################################

By the next morning, they were nearly on two-third of their way to they would have cover in a day and a half. Thinking time was for an experiment. He climbs to the top of the crow nest, and take a Log Pose. With a quick trans.m.u.tation and storage, left" with the bubble glace in hand.

Slowly inscribing the pattern he had to think of the previous day, he does the same with another one, to see if he would obtain different results. The bubbles ready, he put the needle back, before placing the Log on the extreme right and left of the direction the boat was following.

Looking for time to time while he was taking care of the little colony of Denden Mushi, he sees that the one on his left had already set, while the other was still rotating. Better, it didn"t even point backwards, telling him that he was effectively able to isolate their road magnetic field out of the equation!

By lunchtime, he climbs down and prepares the meal with Miss Monday who turns to be a great and meticulous cook despite her ample frame.

Eating rapidly, he runs back to his observation post to see if there was any change. He found two. First, the Log had effectively set, toward yet another direction, and a news coo bird was resting in the large house build for them, connecting the outside. Climbing the short ladder, he put the money on the pouch, taking a copy.

As its stir from is sleep, an idea came to his mind.

"Hey there little buddy, mind if I ask a question?"

Seeing the bird tilted its head, he continued, knowing that they could understand what he was saying.

"I need to found an island called Drum island. It a polar island, with six large mountains looking like chimnies, do you know the direction?" Asked him hopefully.

The news coo bird were delivery birds; as such, they had the mean to direct themselves on Grand Line. Knowing this and the fact that it maybe had a link with electromagnetic fields, he tried. As he was thinking, the bird looks at him for a second, before rising his right-wing, showing a vague direction. Excited by the successful result, he jumps off, fetches the Log Pose on the left and returns.

"Do you know if it the good direction?" Ask him again, showing the Log to the bird.

Again, he stays quiet for a moment, staring at the Log before giving the nod.

"Thank a lot, buddy!" COunting the rest of the copies left in the bird care, he put the adequate amount of money in the pouch."Her for you, rest as much as you want!" Say him, before jumping off again and race to the ladder leading down, barely hearing a happy "Kwak" from the news coo.

##################################

Entering the steering room, he fixes the log on the centre of the wheel, before starting to follow the direction. The sudden change did alert everyone on board, making them bolts to the room, thinking that the boat had deviated from its route.

"Hubby, what you are doing?" Asked Nami, more curious than worried, after she had a Log, and could rectify the route at any time.

He turns his head to them, grinning widely. "I found it!"

The other stays quiet for a moment, procession what he was saying before they eyes widen.

"What?! How?!" Asked Igaram, gripping his shoulders, hope lighting in his eyes.

"Simple, as I say, I was able to isolate the electromagnetic field of our road, leaving the two of our closest roads to anchor on the log. As I know that the island was in between Little Garden and Alabasta, the one that would anchor on it would be it. To be sure I made a second and put it to the other side of the room. The first had taken before lunch and the second after. With two different results, I was lost on, which was wich. A news coo resolved all this."

"The birds?!" Shout him puzzled. He couldn"t understand that they could have helped.

"Yes, as they can move from island to island, they must know the different magnetic fields. I just asked him if he knew which was the good one and if it was the good field by describing the island!" Finishing him excitingly.

They were stunned by the plan; it was completely crazy! Asking a bird for the right direction, but strangely this was undoubtedly the explanation making the most sense.

Trusting Alex decision, as it was the only way they could think off, they made sails toward the direction. With the boost of the motors running all days and night, they only need another day and a half to enter into the range of a winter type island. That had immediately rejoiced Igaram as it was the typical weather of the island. It was telling him that Alex was mostly correct.

Not too long after, Nojiko, who was in the crow"s nest, open a channel to the steering room.

"They"re a person standing on the water!"

Hearing her, Alex knows who it was, to be sure he asked.

"Does he his clothed like a jester?"

"Actually yes he does! What do I do?"

"Shot him down, he is one of Wapol right and men and will only be a pain in the a.s.s if we cross their path."

"Roger!"

A three-second later, a gunshot resound. Alex, who was looking forward with a pair of binocular, see the man head burst under the destructive force of the bullet before the corpse seems to stumble and fall in the water a little further than it initial position.

Holding on a device linked to the entire ship, he says.

"Prepare for a possible boarding! We cross way with one of Wapol man!"

##################################

Hearing him, Igaram look at the two ex-agent.

"Go, I will take care of the Princess!"

Nodding at him, Miss Monday take the large ma.s.s Alex made for her just for a case like this, and Mr.9 his twin"s bat. They were only in time for them to see a sizeable ball-like thing rise from the water.

"Who dares to attack this king subject?!" Yell a round man with a metallic chin and torso clad in plate armour, standing on the newly appeared hippo figurehead.

At the same time, he was yelling, say figurehead" mouth open, letting a ladder glide down and land on the deck. As men clad in black-furred coat rapidly climb down, two gunshots heard in rapid succession.

The two sides of the ladder maintaining the step burst under the destructive ammo, cutting all retreat path from the men already on the ship. As Alex didn"t stop the motor, they were rapidly exiting the place under the dumbfounded look of Wapol and his men.

Grinning evilly at the gulping men, He darkly says.

"No survivors!"

As the thirty men were just simple stooge, they didn"t last long against the might of the super-human crew of five and the two other agents, familiar with murder.

##################################

As he was trans.m.u.ting the gathered coats for the corpse into fetting ones for their four guests, Alex was thinking of what happened.

"Not only he lost chess, but also thirty men. From the look of their direction, they don"t seem to have an idea to regain the island. While I would like to make my hand on Wapometal, I wouldn"t mind the man death if he attempts something."

-They"re also the fact that Blackbeard crew had already set sail and ravaged the island, what you"re going to do?-

"Send ScreenShot to scan the surrounding and try to found the cable car. I don"t have any reason to seek Dalton, so..."

Done with the coat, he leaves them with Igaram, after enquering of Vivi health.

##################################

After another day the island came in view, bringing great relief to the old captain looking over his Princess. Making sure to throws the anchor a little afar the nearest village, Alex sends ScreenShot in a recon mission. Having improved the scheme capacity, he had now a thirty minutes limit, with a 2,500 feet radius of coverage, and a new set of optical lens. He goes high in the sky, taking a shot of the entire island under different view, for Alex and Nmi archive, before trying to found the cables.

"Screenshot, you will have a better chance to found them, by looking from the highest mountain."

Following the instruction, he found the target. Taking successive shots from a small scale, and enlarging the view, he sent Alex enough data to approximate the village cable car location.

Returning on the ship not even frozen, he smugly grins while munching on his favourite lettuce that Alex was cultivating especially for his as a treat of a job well done.

Taking the picture with him, he climbs down to give them to Nami.

Those pictures were a G.o.d sent for her, giving her more material to draw her amp, and with them, she could take her time to do so.

"Alright, this how we will do this, I will first go with Vivi, repair the cable car if need, and go found the witch in the castle."

"Witch?" Say Nami, looking him strangely.

"Yep, the oldest doctor surely alive in this world, if someone can cure Vivi it"s her."

"Good luck Alexander, I leave the Princess in your care." Formally salute Igaram, before he goes fetch Vivi.

##################################

Entering the room, and seeing her still sleeping, he takes off the cover, putting the coat on her as delicately as possible. Wrapping her in his three tails, he exits the room and jumps over the stern, landing agility in the snow-filled land. Breaking in a rapid run, he starts to make his way toward the village, following Nami hastily drawn map, for him.

That was the first time he was feeling that good in this world weather, relishing in the cold wind brushing against his skin and light clothing.

Going full hybrid, evade as possible human settlement, not wanting to be taken as a target after they bear the rampage of Blackbeard. While he was running in a thick wood, he feels a tingling sensation in his mind. Acting instinctively, he duck, before slashing at what was pa.s.sing to his side. Not stopping, he heard the sound of crushed snow and a strong sent of blood spreading.

"Surely a wild animal." Mumble him to himself, and even if it were a human, he would be affected.

Continuing for another fice minutes, he finally arrives at the outskirt of the village housing the cable car. Looking at it and seeing that it was in the centre of the village, he trans.m.u.tes the cloak, taking out the black dye, and cover Vivi head with the hood, making them nearly transparent in the white surrounding.

Making his way stealthily in the still quiet village, he rejoins the cable. Seeing only an empty platform, he crafts a cabin with a comfortable bed for Vivi. With a warming cl.u.s.ter added, the air rapidly turns warm.

Using the ship of regretted Mr.3 as a model, he crafts a simple motor running on his flame, obtaining a similar thing than Ace little boat. With the fire actioning the gears, the propellers outside rapidly gain in speed, and slowly propel the cabin on the cable silently.

##################################

Putting stabilisation scheme on the cabin wall when the wind became too strong and make the cabin swaying, he resumes his duty.

After thirty minutes, long Alex arrives at the station at the top of the mountain. Parking the cabin in one of the available slots, he disembarked with Vivi on his back. He was about to walk out, before coming nose-to-nose with a bipedal reindeer.

"h.e.l.lo, it for a consultation." Say him while smiling at the frozen reindeer.
