No matter what, someone always mistook Chopper for some sort of tanuki, or even a gorilla when he'd shift to his human form. All because of his blue nose. Then again, if it wasn't for that blue nose of his, Chopper might have never met the doctors on Drum Island or his crewmates. One day, Chopper had decided that, if given the choice to become a normal reindeer and been accepted by his herd or to keep the blue nose and eventually meet up with all of his friends, he would always pick having his blue nose.
Chopper knew he was an oddity, even on the Grand Line, but it made him a little happy. The troubles he went through would help him became a better, more dependable man.
It was so hard for Chopper to not do something when the slavers were selling off Caimie. It was such a relief when Luffy came bursting through and hit that rich, ugly guy in the face, then it meant that they could do whatever it took to get Caimie back. Then the Marines cames and Luffy and the other two captains that had stuck around went outside. It didn't take too long for the rest of the crewmembers present to make their way outside. Things were crazy.
During that time of confusion, the Straw Hat pirates decided to take their injured friend, Hachi, and the mermaid, Caimie, and make their escape. It was a little difficult to fight effectively while carrying incapacitated people. While Chopper was fending off Marines in his human shape, he noticed the bear that was on one of the other crews talking as he beat up Marines. Seeing this, Chopper had only one thought go through his mind.
What a weirdo.
Little did Chopper know that the bear, Bepo, looked at him and thought the same exact thing.
As an afternote, I don't own One Piece.
This is the result of being too excited at seeing Bepo on the list of characters on the new and improved list of characters on . Seriously, I love that bear way more than I should. Anyway, just a funny little, spur of the moment, one shot. I just adore these animal-characters of Oda's so much. I think the irony I wrote would fit this story, especially since everyone wonders 'Just what the heck is with that bear?!' I hoped you enjoyed this little thing of mine.
