As Chopper was working on the unconscious Zoro the stranger pulled a can out of his pocket. He dipped his hand into the can and scooped out a gel which he applied to the wound on his chest. His bleeding stopped the instant the gel touched his wound. He then turned to Chopper and said "There is no need to work on me I am fine."

Chopped looked up from Zoro and saw that his bleeding had stopped. "How did you do that?" Chopper asked.

"I used this gel. Here." he said as he handed the can to Chopper. "Apply that to his wound and he will be fine in no time"

"Okay." Replied Chopper.

"Where did you learn to make a gel like that" Usopp asked the stranger

" I discovered this gel by myself. Being a swordsman is dangerous work so I decided to make an item to helm any wounds I may receive. With my swordsmanship I rarely need it but it comes in very handy when I do"

Chopper applied the gel to Zoro and was amazed at how quickly it stopped the bleeding. He then turned to the stranger and asked "Can you show me how to make this?"

"It requires many rare ingredients which I doubt you have. Lead me to your supplies and I will see what I can do."

"All right," said Chopper "Follow me."

As Chopper and the stranger went to look at Chopper's supplies Paulie, Luffy, and Usopp all examined Zoro's wounds closely.

"That gel works great," said Paulie.

"Yes," agreed Usopp " I have never seen anything like it"

In the storage room the stranger quickly saw that Chopper did not have the necessary supplies to make the gel. "You simply do not the right ingredients," he told Chopper "Perhaps Raftel is the only place the needed plant grows"

"You have been to Raftel?" Chopper asked admiringly.

"Yes," replied the stranger. "You should go there sometime you would really like it. Well since I can not make my gel for you and your cook is otherwise engaged let me cook something up for you it is the least I can do for causing so much trouble.
