Hey it goes on, sorry again that it took so long with the fifth part, but here is also the sixth part, oh already the sixth, how fast it goes.
Don't worry, everything will be fine, or maybe not ... hehe, let yourself be surprised ... what am I mean ... but just read on.

It goes on and on

* Rising from the dead * (6)

Ace's hand rested on Sanji's hand. Meanwhile he too had fallen asleep. Zorro was leaning next to the bed and dozing, Usopp was lying across the floor, Chopper had curled up in a corner and Nami had also leaned against a wall and slept. Only Luffy was sitting on a chair with his legs drawn up and looking at the sleeping cook. Meanwhile his panic had given way to a strange calm.
After Zorro got hold of the cook's arm in the water, they pulled him out of the water together. Sanji's body had been freezing, and even now not much had changed in that state.Fortunately, Sanji was still breathing, his heart was beating too, but he was in a coma. You couldn't wake him, he was frozen.
Luffy hold out his hand. With the back of his hand he felt the cook's skin. It wasn't as cold as ice anymore, but it was still too cold.
Ace's hands glowed, pumping heat from Ace's firepower into Sanji's body and warming him up.
Luffy grabbed his brother by the shoulder and shook him awake.
"Mmmh, what?" Ace asked sleepily.
"You should stop, Ace, if you put all your strength into him, then it's definitely not good for you. Don't use up all your energy," Luffy said quietly.
Ace nodded understandingly. He took Sanji's hand and cracked his knuckles. A faint glow remained on Sanji's skin, but that too was soon gone.
"Sure you are right, but you also look very tired. Look, even the others are sleeping. Lie down too."Ace looked worried at his little brother's face.
Luffy smiled sadly.
“You know,” he began, “I blame myself like that. As captain, I have to watch out for my crew, but not only that my cook is flash frozen, no, my new team member has been kidnapped. I'm no longer sure if I'm the right one for the job, Ace. "Luffy hung her head.
"I think you're crazy," said a voice, "you are the best captain I have ever seen. I need to know, after all, I once hunted pirates. And although we hardly knew each other, you saw me before Marine saved, not everyone would have done that, if I really think about it, probably nobody. "Zorro grinned crookedly when he thought of this experience.
"You have a good heart, Luffy, we have become a very special pirate team through you. You helped me get away from Arlong, nobody else would have done that, everyone else had already written me off," said Nami, who is also awake had become.The rest of the team slowly got up, too, except for Sanji.
"You made my dream come true to go out to sea, like my father, although you only knew Usopp the liar. You always believe in the good in people." Usopp smiled, embarrassed.
Chopper got up and went to Luffy. "After Doc Bader, you were the first to want me as a friend. Your team didn't see me as a monster between human and moose, but as a friend."
"Thea would surely say something similar if she were here. Don't blame yourself. You are the best captain there is, believe me. Nobody can blame you if one of your people is injured," said Ace. Luffy looked at his team for a long time. He had never received so much praise, oh Shanks would be here now.
"Thank you guys," Luffy said curtly, but everyone knew that Luffy wasn't a big talker and took it as a quiet "You guys are really the best".
"And why doesn't anyone ask me what I love about Luffy?", it suddenly came from the bed.

For Thea it was the worst night of her life. She hadn't slept. When she wasn't thinking about how Sanji was doing, whether he was still alive or had drowned, then she was thinking of Molar, how he was already working out a plan, how he could better keep her here and how he could best and Luffy could destroy his team.
The tears ran down her cheeks again. Sanji didn't deserve that, no, even Luffy, who must now be blaming himself, didn't deserve it. Why did she have to plunge this team into this ruin?
Don't blame yourself, someone said in her head. Surely one of the crew would give you a dirty look. Never blame yourself for getting lost in them and in the end you are trapped in your own bad world. Thea didn't want that.
Ace's look had promised to bring her back. Surely they would come as soon as Sanji got better.Sanji must have just survived, always thinking positively.
Thea wiped the tears from her face. There was no need to look like that. After all, Luffy, the straw hat boy, Nami, the navigator, Usopp, the best pirate in the world, Lorenor Zorro, a little moose with a blue nose and certainly Sanji, the best cook in the world who didn't want to be called that, were there too her on the way.
She turned on her bed, smiling. Something rustled in her pocket. Amazed, she stuck a hand into it. She was holding a small sheet of paper in her hands.

Paprika Stockfish Soup

Take a stockfish, cut it into cubes about the same size and let it sear in a pan with a little olive oil ...

That was the recipe that Sanji had cooked almost twenty times. Thea had to laugh when she saw it. She unfolded it carefully. She herself had scribbled underneath with a thin pen: "Don't ever forget the other side, otherwise I'll have to come and unfold it for you!"Sanji had written a grinning face under Thea's message. "Remind me when we found the All Blue together!"
Thea hadn't seen this message yet. The All Blue! Yes, that was Sanji's greatest dream.
You promised to find him, Thea thought. You just have to live, otherwise you couldn't keep your promise and I couldn't keep mine either
With that theory and the sheet in hand, she finally fell asleep. In her dreams she sailed the All Blue, with Luffy, with Sanji, with all the others.
If that isn't proof that they are fine, she thought in her sleep, turned on her back and enjoyed sleeping comfortably, even a molar couldn't do anything about it.

Sanji shivered.
"What are you all looking at at me as if I had risen from the dead?" Sanji looked with glassy eyes into the round of surprised faces.
"Sanji, are you somehow cold or why are you shivering like that?" Said Zorro, who had recovered to hide his real joy and had his old sarcasm again.Sanji grinned slowly. He didn't want to admit it, but he was bloody cold. That molar had actually caught him then.
Luffy smiled in relief.
"Welcome back, Sanji, lucky that the world has you back. My brother here has at least sacrificed a lot of energy for you." Then he disappeared into the kitchen. We don't want to reproduce the numerous attempts to make a tea and their consequences here, then we would certainly be tomorrow. Let's assume that at some point Luffy showed up in the room with a steaming cup of tea.
Nami had pulled out another blanket from somewhere and put it over Sanji's shoulders. Thankfully, he took the hot cup from Luffy.
Trembling, he followed the team members' description of the situation, what had happened, what was to happen. When he found out that Molar had taken Thea with him, the cold suddenly disappeared and a strange warmth spread through Sanji.
"We'll definitely bring them back.We owe her that. "Sanji looked at the others for a long time. He only saw determined faces. He thought back to the fight that had taken place on this ship not so long ago. Now that it was in the past, it came to him like a bad dream But because he was terribly cold and saw the wounds on the others, especially Luffy, the fight and its facts became a cruel truth.
'The Barati no longer exists.'
These words are now in his head. He shared it with the others and earned sad looks.
Luffy assured him that she would inquire again and, if necessary, go to the last known point of the floating restaurant as soon as the matter with Thea was settled.
Sanji nodded gratefully. Then he lay down again. The others left the room. He needs rest, Chopper had said.
The next morning, Sanji was back in the kitchen without the elk's express permission, but he was already wearing a scarf."Hey guys, today there's something really great, because today we're going to bring Thea back." Sanji was bursting with energy.
Nami grinned at Zorro. Do you see it now? Her look asked the swordsman, but he just shrugged his shoulders, disinterested.

Molar stormed into the small room.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked with cynicism.
Thea's face hit him like a plank in the head. She smiled. She smiled at him. What on earth made her so happy? Had she finally realized that he was feeling better?
"Why in such a good mood?" Asked Molar suspiciously.
"Why not?"
"Well, your strange friend is now a chunk of ice on the ocean floor and the rest of that crew I'm going to take apart today." Molar laughed smugly.
Thea kept smiling.
"Sure that they won't take you apart? Take a look at your great team, it was bigger too." Thea even laughed now.
"Only the best stayed, that was the point.Now I know who I can rely on. "
"Oh yeah. Well, I would ask you to leave the room now. I just want to sit here and wait for my crew, especially a certain trembling cook waiting for me."
Thea could have looked at Molar's stupid face for hours, but unfortunately it didn't last long. Because soon the captain stamped Thea's talk as attempts to talk everything well.
Only when Thea was sure that Molar wouldn't rush into her room did she open the bottom drawer of her little cupboard.
The pigeon leaped towards her, cooing in amusement.
"Clever little animal, they have to give you that," Thea said softly and stroked the bird's feathers.
The letter the bird had on its leg was safely hidden under her pillow, and soon it would find its way into Thea's pocket.
Carefully she opened the small window next to her bed through which she had already let the pigeon in.Thea had no paper, so she couldn't write a message. But still
