** With Luffy **
As the clouds shot towards the Drum Rockies, they continued to fly high and higher as they got closer to the mountain, until it was only a few meters higher than the mountain where the castle was located.
It was hard for Luffy to see where they were going due to the heavy snow falling and the fact that they were at a speed of about 60 kmph. After flying for approximately thirty minutes, the group was finally able to see the castle on the mountain clearly and Luffy had to admit, that the castle was quite beautiful.
When they were about 100 feet away from the castle, Luffy ordered his crew to slow down, allowing them to admire the snow-covered castle, which looks so beautiful.
The cloud then flew right to the doorstep of the castle, before stopping. Luffy was the first to jump and clear the snow from his body and his straw hat, then he turned towards the clouds and spoke.
"Give Nami to me," she said, causing Sanji to rise and gently lift Nami from the clouds in bridal style before handing her over to Luffy. When Nami is safely in Luffy's hands, Sanji and Nojiko jump from the clouds and stand beside Luffy.
When they had all gone down, the clouds then began to rise into the sky where the clouds would wait for Luffy to call out to him again.
"Where is this Doctor/Witch?" Nojiko said while looking around.
"Well the front door was open, maybe we should check inside," Sanji said causing the two of them to look at the front door of the castle and see that it was open. The three of them with Nami then start walking towards the door to see if they can find the doctor inside the castle.
However upon entering the castle their eyes widened in shock. The entire 1st floor of the castle was covered in snow, all corners of the room and the stairs had snow on them. Like that door's been open for days, not just today.
"Who leaves the door open, if this is what will happen," Sanji said before he walked towards the door to close it, but was stopped by Luffy.
"No, wait, don't close!" Luffy shouted hastily stopping Sanji in his tracks. "Look up there" he said, turning his head over the door. When Sanji and Nojiko looked up, they saw a nest with small birds above the door.
"they might keep the door open for the birds to live there" Nojiko said causing Luffy to nod his head before turning his attention back inside the castle.
"I thought Dalton said the doctor lived in the castle" Sanji said as he walked around the first floor.
"Are we in the wrong castle?" Nojiko asked.
"No, this is the only castle on the island. Let's take a look around," Luffy said before he started walking up the stairs while carrying nami in bridal style. As he walked through space after space, it was clear that someone was staying in this castle, as some rooms seemed to be used frequently while some doors were locked.
Finally, the group found a room with an empty bed and several shelves with books inside. "Let's put Nami here for now and then figure out where we're going from here," Luffy said causing both his crew to nod.
Luffy walked to the bed, and Nojiko pulled the purple blanket from the bed before Luffy put Nami on the bed while Nojiko covered her with the blanket.
"Where is this doctor," Sanji said in a frustrated voice as he hit the ball.
"Calm down" Luffy said as he walked over to the fireplace in the room. "Dalton said the doctor often went to the city to treat patients.
So, maybe he's there now," Luffy said calmly before he pointed at the fireplace with his index finger which caused a small flash to come out of his finger and burn the wood there, lighting the fire.
"So you're saying we came all this way with nothing!" Sanji yelled causing Luffy to sigh before he spoke.
"Just relax, he must have come here, because this is where he lives," Luffy said trying to appease his cook. "We'll wait here for a while, if there's anything, I'll go look for her and bring her here to take care of Nami," Luffy said causing Sanji to calm down a little.
"I'll be outside and waiting for him" Luffy said before he walked out of the room and returned to the first floor. When he got outside, he leaned against one of the pillars and folded his hands, waiting for the doctor to return with his captain's coat fluttering in the wind.
