The Diary of Dr. Tony Tony Chopper
Day 1
I have decided to keep a log of my adventures across the world with my crew, the Straw Hat Pirates. We have already been to so many interesting places: the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Sabaody Park, and even another ocean up in the sky! I have many fond (and not so fond) memories of our journey so far, and I thought that I should keep a written record of our journey across the Grand Line for posterity. I like to imagine myself reading this logbook decades from now, after a long day of treating patients who have travelled far and wide to recieve the expertise of the greatest doctor in the world; I'd curl up in bed with some tea, and read about my past adventures that I had almost forgotten after so many years. It sounds nice, don't you think?
(I also want to practice my penmanship. For all of my expertise with medical instruments, my writing is very sloppy and hard to read. To be fair though, I do have hooves; have you ever tried to write a legible shopping list with hooves? It's not very easy.)
I should properly introduce myself. I am Tony Tony Chopper, and I am a proud member of the Straw Hat Pirates! I am the crew's doctor, trained by Dr. Hiriluk and Dr. Kureha on Drum Island. Dr. Hiriluk was my first mentor, and my first friend. I miss him very much, but I think if he could see me now he would be very proud. I don't like to brag, but I am a very skilled doctor (my greatest creation so far is the Rumble Ball, which can enhance my Devil Fruit abilities and has saved my nakama and I on more than one occasion). My dream is to be a doctor that can cure any disease and treat any injury. This dream is why I eventually decided to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and I am thankful to my nakama for every day I am with them.
As the ship's doctor, I'm rarely bored. We are constantly battling enemies, and after each battle there are always injuries to treat. But most of the fighting occurs when our ship is docked somewhere along the Grand Line and we're exploring new islands; when we're on the ship, my duties are more day-to-day and there usually aren't any major medical emergencies. For example, here is a sample of what I have treated this week:
1. Nosebleed (Sanji). Nami and Robin were trying on some new clothes they had bought in the last town we visited, and the door to the Women's Quarters was open enough for him to catch a glimpse.
2. Black eye (Zoro). He had been drinking on the main deck, and accidentally stumbled into a doorframe. I'm not sure if he walked into it because he was intoxicated, or if it was a depth-perception issue. When he reunited with the rest of us after two years, one of his eyes was cut. I want to ask him what happened to it, but I'm not sure if I should mention it until he does. He's able to fight just fine with one eye closed, though!
3. Migraine (Robin). She likes to read in the evenings, but last night she misplaced her reading glasses. Reading in dim light for multiple hours can really strain your eyes, and she woke up with a migraine. I gave her some aspirin and she seemed to feel better by the afternoon. Usopp found her glasses on one of the other seats in the library, and he returned them to her. He also made her a portable reading light, so she doesn't have trouble reading at night.
See? Nothing major. I don't mind it though; on days like this I have time to relax, and now I can spend my leisure time writing in this diary!
