Tiny looks around at all the humans digging out the village from his spot covered in warm blankets where he can get the best view of everything. After the fat annoying human was locked up in chains and watched over by some village guards, his human den mate and the blond one kicked the fat one's guards into submission and then got to work… well Tiny is pretty sure the annoying blond one only started working to impress the women folk into trying to find him a decent mate prospect.
Not that it would work, females can sense ugly slow idiots from a mile away and wouldn't go for such a being unless they are desperate. (Not that Tiny is being mean in his view oh the stupid blond one just for the sake of it no, not after their argument earlier where he banned him from his favourite snack, not at all he's just being truthful like his human tells him to be all the time after all….)
Perking up at spotting something near by the fat one's and his guards Tiny flinches in shock as an old man knocks the guards out with some kind of stick and the fat one is picked up by a really big wolfs jaws and carried away with nary a sound.
It's a minute before Tiny shakes the surprise off, another before he manages to escape his warm fluffy binds before he's running off to inform Apis who quickly alerts the villagers, Dolton and they make their way to follow after annoying ones.
Unfortunately for Tiny, he's forced to stay back on the ship with the silly duck.
Pouting and attempting to grow mushroom's on the log like his human usually does when he's upset about something or other he decides his upgrades can't come soon enough.
He hates being a useless pet.
Staring at Luffy being an idiot with Zoro weirdly just staring at him like a creeper Usopp inwardly sighs, wondering when Luffy is going to ask Chopper to join already. Though as it is if it was simply a case of asking him to join, Usopp would be a lot less stressed and worried then he currently is right now.
Things are changing, slowly, steadily but surely and given Sanji did not come along and get injured it means he most likely beat Wapol and his men, since thinking about it Wapol is a lot weaker then other foes they have fought and Usopp could even probably manage to take him easily enough if he tried…. So it means they likely won't get a battle that convinces Chopper to join along with them.
Unless of course there are added foes like has been apparent with Arlong's crew with Cosimo and the two little girls at Whisky peak Ai and Mai… Agh! He can feel his migraine getting worse just thinking about it! It's almost enough to give him a panic attack which he really doesn't need right now!
Wham!
"Whatever you're thinking about, quit it! We don't want you freaking out over nothing and ripping you're stitches! Kekeke!" Kureha says laughing while Usopp covers his head in pain, collapsing back on the bed again wondering if his head will kill him first or the old bag.
"Oi! Watch it you old crone!" Zoro scowls at the women and Usopp laughs at the whack to the head he receives for it, pleased his misery is being shared.
"Watch your tone! I'll have you know I am still in my prime 130's!" Usopp inwardly laughs at that, prime age his pale ass!
"Anyway forget! I have no interest in the sea or being a pirates doctor!" Kureha tells Luffy and Usopp inwardly sighs in relief at that, he wouldn't want such a sadistic old crone coming along either! That's one thing that thankfully stayed the same!
"Aww! Come on old lady! Let's go on an adventure!" Luffy, Usopp WILL disown you if you do the impossible and convince the old bag to join!
"Ah! HOLD IT REINDEER!" Luffy yells spotting Chopper and running after Chopper like someone will eat all his meat if he doesn't.
"Moron" Zoro says smirking and relaxing back against his chair and Usopp inwardly nods at his sensibility, at least someone knows to not hunt smart adorable and incredibly cute little animals!
"…You wait for them to come to you!" Zoro yells jumping at Chopper when he comes running back in and Usopp deadpans at that.
Never mind! He is just going to add to Zoro's and Luffy's revenge list.
"I'LL EAT YOU BEFORE YOU EAT HIM!"
"GAAH! IT'S THE OLD LADY!"
"WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE! WHERES MY SWORDS DAMNIT!"
They are all idiots Usopp concludes watching everyone run off… he wishes he had his camera on him since their expressions while terrifying are hilarious!
Shivering at the cold in the room Usopp is about to get up to go and close the door when Chopper comes in and yells at him, causing him to blink in shock and surprise since it's reminiscent of the scene with Nami in the original scene and because he was pretty sure Chopper was unreasonably scared of him for some unknown reason, considering how he looked at him vs the morons trying to eat him.
"Stay in bed! You still have a fever! A compromised immune system and recently had throat surgery done! I'll get the door!" Chopper tells him while looking around everywhere, mumbling about where the morons could be and watching him move around all skittish makes Usopp grin and give a silent though slightly painful chuckle (giggle!)
"Ah! Please be careful of your throat! And what's so funny!" Chopper yells at him and Usopp just grins wider before looking around and grabbing a note pad and a pen and writing.
'Thank you very much! You have been my doctor right?' He asks and he can literally feel the blush if not exactly see it.
"S-SHUT UP I DON'T ACCEPT THANKS FROM HUMANS!" Chopper says the liar.
It's silent for a minute with Chopper still looking at him unreasonably frightened but he seems to gather his courage starts asking questions.
"S-so you guys really are pirates?" is his first question and Usopp see's the more things change the more they stay the same and plays along and nods to the question.
"Really?" he just nodded yes but he does it again to confirm it.
"Do you have a pirate flag and ship? And go on adventures?" Not exactly like with Nami but okay, Usopp nod's again smiling gently behind his mask as he tentatively touches his arm, retreats it and does it again and Usopp doesn't even flinch at the touching, he figures it's because Chopper is an animal and not really a person even with the Human-Human fruit model man.
Not wanting to freak Chopper out like when Nami asked if he was interested in pirates in the original, he instead asks questions about Chopper himself.
'You're a doctor right? Do you have a specialty like in disease or injury or are you a jack of all trades doctor?' he asks honestly curious about that since if Usopp was a doctor instead of just a trained medic he thinks he would be an injury specialist himself given his knowledge in the subject.
"EH! Ah-um! I um, are an um jack of all trades that um specializes in diseases…" Chopper stutters out surprised at the question and Usopp really wished he had a camera right now! He is so cute! Not as adorable as his precious Tiny but still adorable!
"D-do you know anything about medicine?" Chopper asks after a moment.
'A little bit, only enough to be a medic in treating injuries even the most sever and basic illnesses like colds and stuff, giving the right kind of food to a patient and giving injections to prevent illnesses… kind of like a trained nurse' Usopp describes after thinking about it a bit more, a nurse in an injury ward of a hospital definitely sounds more alike what his knowledge knows of.
"Oh? Have you trained in a hospital?" Chopper asks starting to relax and Usopp inwardly grins and shakes his head no and starting a very pleasant conversation with Chopper that he finds he very much enjoys, it's nice to learn about something one is interested in, especially when they start talking about the natural herbal medicine that he hadn't heard of before!
The more they talk the more Usopp gets excited on the possibilities in regards to his own medicines, cuisine and not to mention his special bullets! Like if he could somehow fix his aqua sleep stars then fighting fishmen would be a cinch! Or even create a bullet that can actually heal people instead of hurt them! The sheer amount of possibilities to his own style of fighting is endless with Chopper's help and then Franky when he eventually joins!
Usopp is practically shaking in excitement at the infinite number of possibilities he holds near the palms of his hands!
The pleasant conversation is abruptly cut off when Luffy and Zoro run past again and Chopper runs for the hills again, Usopp is admittedly ticked off at that, they were having a very interesting chat about herbal medicine that can prevent internal bleeding completely when joined with another medicine when the morons showed up.
"Phew! Those brats sure are fast!" Kureha sighs sitting back down in the room for a rest and Usopp nods while smugly grinning in pride, he can run much faster than that!
In his preening in his own thoughts he doesn't notice Kureha picking up the note pad he was talking to Chopper with and raising a brow at all the questions and one seemingly one sided replies and continuation of conversation until she laughs, and Usopp blushes when he looks at her smirking and only the slightest bit of an impressed expression on her face while ducking his head, just stopping himself from hiding under the blanket like a child.
"Kekekekeke! If you're trying to butter up my reindeer, you're doing a pretty decent job!" Kureha tells him laughing and Usopp's blush deepens, he hadn't even thought about trying to butter Chopper up.
"Well if you want him! Take him! But can you heal the wounds deep within that boy's heart that not even a doctor can heal?" She aks, and Usopp blinks at that wounds? As in more than one past unresolved wound? Please don't tell him even more things have changed even from years back! He doesn't think he could handle that since it would be his fault for creating butterflies!
Kureha then proceeds to tell him about Choppers past along with a side story he had absolutely no idea about and completely shocks him silly.
Chopper… IN LOVE!?
6 and a half years ago~
"Wahhh! Please don't eat me! I'm a monster see! I won't taste any good I promise!" Chopper all but screams out to the black wolf cornering him. If only doctor hiriluk were here! He'd save him! Chopper only just got a friend! He doesn't want to die now!
The wolf takes a menacing step forward and just as it's about to snap its jaws around him the biggest white wolf Chopper has ever seen intervenes, slamming into the black wolf, snapping her massive jaws and growling, the black wolf runs off and Chopper blinks panicking even more at the sight of the bigger wolf as it turns to him.
He doesn't want to die now! He thinks while snapping his eyes shut tightly and shivering against the tree he's leaning against.
Lick!
A wet tong drags across his fur and a low chuckle rings out and he opens his eyes to find the white wolf lying down and laughing at him.
'I won't eat you little one, I'm Ro the protector of these woods, that fat-ass of a fool has been eating far too much lately to need another bite-sized snack like you… besides a young cutie like you shouldn't die just yet when there is still so much for you to see in the world' The Wolf… no Ro tells him with a beautiful doggy smile and for some reason, Chopper feels his heart skip a beat.
"W-wah! D-don't call me cute you bastard! It doesn't make me happy!" Chopper stutters out scared but less than before, wondering what that skip in his heart was and blushing as the wolf just lets out loud very pleasant laughter.
It was the first meeting between Chopper and his first love.
Back to the present.
Usopp is intently listening to the back story, surprised Chopper's first love is a wolf of all creatures considering they are pretty much natural enemies in the wild but before Kureha can continue Chopper barges in.
"Doctor! This is bad! It's Wapol! He's back and that crazy old man Koinuil Is with him!" Chopper yells, looking like he wants to say more but stops himself in pain and Kureha stands up immediately in shock.
"What! Koinuil?! That crazy old fool is still alive!?" She yells and runs out after him, slamming the door behind her and Usopp blinks wondering just who on earth Koinuil is.
"BWAHAHAHA! Thanks to you Koinuil I escaped from those dratted fools and that traitor Dolton! I can finally enter my castle again and reclaim my rightful place on the throne!" Wapol exclaims laughing on his mount, climbing the mountain with a raggedly dressed old man with a wild look to him and a long grey beard behind him climbing up the mountain on a giant white wolf.
"Hohoho! My pleasure King Wapol! I've been waiting for you to return since you left on your little…. Vacation" Koinuil says pleasantly, a dark twinkle in his eyes before whacking his mount with his cane.
"Stop you whining you idiotic beast! You're in the presence of King Wapol! He doesn't need to listen to your grumbling!" he shouts and Ro stops her growling but glares all the harder into the distance, imagining all the ways she could dismember the old bastard without killing him.
"GWHAHAHA! You're mutt still giving you trouble Koinuil?" Wapol laughs.
"Not as much these days you're highness! The beast doesn't resist my control nearly as much as it used too! Hohohoho!" He says and Ro lifts her muzzle in a silent snarl.
Chopper will die slowly and painfully for the state she has been reduced to these past years! Nothing more then an evil, pathetic and lowly humans pet mount and attack dog!
She will make sure she rips him in bloody half for all he has done to her!
6 and a half years ago a little while after Chopper and Ro met
Ro laughs as the little reindeer she saved the other day flails around in the snow along with the human he lives with after she decided to surprise visit him at his home with that quack doctor the army people are searching for.
"R-Ro! What are you doing here!?" Chopper squeak's out and amused Ro teases him in answer.
'I came to make sure you weren't being eaten by any other wolfs! You're my future snack after all~~~' She lies laughing again as the young one pales and screams in shock.
'Just joking! You couldn't even be classified as a snack to me little cutie!' Ro tells him, having had her fun…. For now…
"D-Don't call me cute!" Chopper says though he's smiling and doing that weird little dance of his forcing Ro to laugh again. The brat is awfully amusing! She is glad she decided not to eat him the other day! He's a riot!
"Chopper! I didn't know you had made friends with the white beast!" the human says and Chopper turns to him confused, while Ro lies on her paws, content to let the human explain her magnificence.
"The white beast?" Chopper asks, tilting his head cutely.
"Haha! The white beast is a guardian of the island's animals! She prevents human's and other animals from over hunting certain species to low or extinction levels , prevents over logging the forest and is said to help people get back into town if lost in the snow, though doesn't interfere with human battles unless it affects her territory" the human explains and Ro puffs up in pride and amusement as Chopper gains stars in his eyes and turns to Ro happily.
"WOW! Ro, you're amazing!"
Ro isn't sure why, but on that day her heart skipped a beat for an animal that should be prey… that instead of hunting for food she turned into a friend instead.
Back to the present
'… if only you hadn't been a fool Chopper… if you had not betrayed her trust then perhaps they could have still been friends…. but now? Now your blood will spill from her claws and fangs if it's the last thing she ever does on this rotten planet!'
"AH! It's you! I owe you for ruining my ship! Gum-Gum…BULLET!" Luffy yells spotting Wapol as he stands before the doors to the castle and punches him straight in the face much to everyone's shock.
"GAAAH!" Wapol screams as he's slammed into the snow and ice covered ground hard, forming a small creator.
"How dare you harm king Wapol! Know you're better's fool!" Koinuil snarls, spittle flying from his mouth and landing on Ro causing her to growl as she stares at Chopper, murder in her eyes as Chopper stares right back, pain, hurt and guilt in his own eyes towards the wolf he once called a friend.
"What's going on!" Kureha says startled.
"This loser again? Didn't we deal with him the other day?" Zoro asks brow raised in question, unimpressed by the showing of the weaklings.
"A king? Who cares! You guys suck! Besides wasn't he a pirate?" Luffy stats/asks sticking his tong out at the old man, Wapol and the two animals with him.
"Do you know them boy?" Kureha asks staring daggers into Koinuil as he just grins in dark spite.
"I know the fat guy, he took a bit out of our ship before we got here! The bastard! But I've never seen the old guy before" Luffy says annoyed.
"I see… so you never left did you Koinuil? Old son of a bitch you black-hearted bastard!" Kureha says speaking to the old man with disgust and hatred all over her face and in her tone.
"Hohohoho! Who are you calling a black-hearted bastard and mother a bitch? Eh! Little sister?!" Koinuil says laughing in dark amusement.
"YOUNGER SISTER!? HE'S EVEN OLDER THEN YOU OLD LADY!?" Luffy and Zoro shout surprised before smacking the ground when she hits them over the head.
"I'm still in my young 130's I'll have you know! You heard me you sick bastard! And our mother was a bitch! It's the family charm after all! Shame it completely missed you and took a turn for the worst!" Kureha shouts and the old man just laughs as if he heard the funniest thing ever.
"HOHOHOHO! Now, now little sister! Just because you're still jealous I'm a better doctor then you doesn't mean you should take a tone with me!" Koinuil says and Kureha gains a tick mark and menacing look in her eyes.
"A doctor? Oh please your not even qualified to be classified a quack doctor! You're nothing but a sicko pretending to be one so you can perform your disgusting experiments and we both know I've always been the better Doctor! You couldn't even treat a simple cold let alone a scraped knee!" Kureha states and the man's eyes gain a darker and more insane edge to them, but before he can say another word Wapol yells at him.
"Koinuil! Stop this incessant chatter and help your king up already!"
"….Yes… King Wapol, forgive me…" Koinuil mutters darkly before kicking Ro.
"Well, mutt!? Help our king up already!" He screams at her and giving a menacing snarl she unwillingly helps the fat fool up, glaring at Chopper even more unforgivingly then before and he twitches back at that, placing the hand he had raised to try and stop the mans violent treatment of his old friend back down to his side, clenching his hoofs in frustration.
"….Wait…DID HE SAY, KING!?" Luffy yells out bug-eyed before getting hit in the head by Zoro.
"You just realized that moron? Besides that aren't you cold? It's minus 50 degrees out!" Zoro asks and it takes a minute before Luffy shivers.
"IT"S COLD! BE RIGHT BACK! YOU GUYS STAY OUT HERE! I"LL BE BACK TO KICK THAT GUYS ASS!" Luffy shouts running inside and into the room where Usopp is now standing up in his own warm coat.
"Ah! Usopp have you seen my coat!?" Luffy asks him and Usopp stares at him creepily again like usual before slowly pointing towards the back of the door where his red coat is hanging. Grinning Luffy grabs it and runs back out while putting it on.
"Thanks, Usopp!"
"Back! You guys want to fight or what!?" Luffy asks the opponents opposite him just to get spiteful grins in return.
"You're crew may have defeated two of my best men… but myself, Koinuil and his pet beast here is more than enough to deal with the likes of you common riff-raff! And after I reclaim my castle and have dealt with you all the first to go will be those irritating friends of yours, that traitorous buffoon Dolton and the village of Big Horn!" Wapol says, gloating already in his perceived arrogant perception of having won the fight before it's even begun.
"Very well said, my king! But please allow me to personally deal with my dear little sister here… I am sure my delightful little mutt here would be more than willing to have that pet monster of hers for dinner!" Koinuil mutter's sadistically while Ro just growls in agreement.
"Heh! Take me on, will you? try it! I'm sure my patients here would be more than pleased to battle you instead! Kekekeke!" Kureha chuckles leaning back against the open castle's doors earning a tick mark from Zoro.
"Say's who old bag!" Zoro mutter just as Luffy says something to contradict him.
"That's fine! You just stay there alright lady!"
"Kekekeke! You're captain just did boy! And who are you calling old!" Kureha laughs and Zoro just grumbles out annoyed.
"Che! Fine! Luffy I'm grabbing my swords deal with these guys till then alright" Zoro says walking off.
"Okay!"
During this conversation Chopper and Ro don't break eye contact at all, one murderous, the other conflicted and tormented in guilt.
"HOHOHO! Very well! Ro! Deal with the monster! I'll wait for the swordsmen to be ready to fight! I can wait to make my darling little sister my next experiment… I am a very patient man after all HOHOHO!" The old man mutters and Ro just growls as the others tense and Kureha just scowls.
Glancing at the pathetic and sick old man Ro waits for the old man to get off before stalking forward towards her prey.
'…It's been a while Chopper…. How has living free been going for you?' Ro growls out a mocking greeting as Chopper grits his teeth from his place standing in front of the castle's doors, slightly shaking, really not wanting to fight his old friend at all.
"…I don't want to fight you Ro…." Chopper says, not removing his eyes from her stalking form.
'Oh? How surprising since that's all I want to do! What I have been waiting years for! To delight in sinking my fangs into your warm flesh and see how long it takes for you to die as I rip you limb from bloody limb, slow and painfully while watching the life drain from the eyes I will have pleasure clawing out of there sockets!' Ro snarls out in explicit detail and while paling Chopper just blinks his eyes away from the tears that threaten to fall with every word and purposely small step Ro makes towards him.
"I'm sorry Ro… I am sorry for everything but I was only trying to help you!" Chopper yells and Ro stop's to give a mighty snarl at that.
'Help me? HELP ME!? DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU'VE HELPED ME CHOPPER!? I AM NOTHING MORE THEN A PET! A SLAVE WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO OBEY THE ORDERS OF MY MASTER! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!' Ro screams at him before pouncing towards him in one massive leap and Chopper dodges away from the sharp claws and teeth aiming to kill him by jumping to the side in his speed point but even that is by a narrow margin.
"BWAHAHA! THAT'S IT! Kill the monster! Kill the witch and I shall reclaim my castle!" Wapol laughs.
"…I have no interest in this hunk of rock, but this fellow the wolf is fighting insisted on making a memorial for Hiriluk here, so what can you do?" Kureha says and looking up Wapol scowls at the pirate flag flying in the wind as Luffy and Zoro stare at it as well before turning back to look at Choppers and the wolf Ro's fight.
"…I'm sorry Ro… I know it's my fault you're forced to serve these evil people... but I won't let you reclaim this castle! This is Dr, Hiriluks grave and I will protect it from any who try to desecrate it when all he wanted was to save this country!" Chopper cries before running towards Ro, dodging a swipe of her massive claws and head butting her in the side and dodging away again while earning a long spurt of blood in his side for the trouble to which he cries out at obtaining while Ro doesn't move an inch.
'…Hiriluk, Hiriluk, HIRILUK! IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THAT STUPID DEAD HUMAN OF YOUR'S! IF YOU HAD GIVEN A SINGLE DAMN HAIR MORE ABOUT ME THAN THAT STUPID FOOL OF A QUACK DOCTOR I WOULDN'T BE THESE FOOLS PET ATTACK DOG!' Ro screams in rage, jumping and earning herself another injury onto her opponent while Chopper flies back, grunting in pain.
"T-That's not true! I cared about you Ro! More than anything in the world and I still do! Hiriluk was dying I panicked and thought I was doing the right thing! I was wrong and then you were dying because I was foolish enough to think it would help you! I forgot what you told me because I was an idiot and panicked and I completely forgot what you had told me because I was horrified you were dying because of me! I'm sorry but he was my first friend! My father! Why can't you understand that!?" Chopper cries struggling back to his feet in his usual form, tears in his eyes while Ro just growls at him.
'LIAR! IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THAT PATHETIC HUMAN! IF YOU REALLY CARED FOR ME… YOU WOULD HAVE FUCKING LISTENED TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!' Ro screams bounding after him again and Chopper bites his lip in pain, remembering how the woman he realized he loved to late came to hate him so much.
*********Flashback to the past***********
'Chopper! Is something wrong!? I heard that human of yours kicked you out of your den!' Ro asks worriedly bounding up to him from his place following Hiriluk to the old lady doctor's house.
"Shh! Quite Ro! I'm following Hiriluk to find out why!" Chopper shushes her whispering worriedly of being overheard or seen and Ro blinks but nods in understanding and crouching down to hide Chopper when the doctor looks around, camouflaged by her snow colored coat in the background.
'Interesting… stealth is it? Then I'll join you! Should be a fun adventure little cutie!' Ro gives a doggy grin, licking him laughing and scurrying off before he could even formulate a response, a massive blush covering his whole body.
"S-shut up! But… are you sure?" Chopper whisper-shouts and Ro just grins.
'Of course! Stealth in the snow is my specialty after all! Besides your utterly hopeless without me!' Ro says, teasing him before picking him up by his scruff and hurrying off to follow the good doctor laughing as he flails around blushing, struggling not to yell at her.
"Hiriluk…. Is dying!" Chopper exclaims after they are far enough from the old woman's home.
'I'm sorry Chopper…. Losing a den mate is never easy…' Ro whispers to him nuzzling his side in comfort.
"I can't… I can't lose him, Ro! He's everything to me!" Chopper cries not noticing how Ro stiffens at that exclamation before stiffy going back to nuzzling him.
'…I know it hurts Chopper but when the doctor is gone you can live with me in my den! It will be fun! I promise! And I know the best place to lay a grave! It's absolutely stunning! Hiriluk will definitely be happy in his eternal sleep there!' Ro tries comforting him, a soft smile on her face and Chopper cries louder and pushes Ro away harshly surprising Ro into actually moving back.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU AND I WON'T LET HIRILUK DIE! I'LL CURE HIM! I WILL FIND THE MIRACLE CURE AND BECOME A DOCTOR AS GREAT AS HIM!" Chopper screams at her, distraught before running off back to the good doctors home while Ro just lets him go, stunned before just staring after him sad and despondent.
'…Oh, Chopper… I'm so sorry….' Ro whispers, knowing her best friend is just upset over losing his adopted sire.
Chopper runs to find the mushroom that should definitely cure doctor Hiriluk! It had a skull and crossbones next to it and the doctor always said it was a good thing and meant a way to ward off diseases! So it must cure him!
"That's why I raise the skull and crossbones against every disease there is!"
It must!
Chopper travels a long time, it's not until he sees his old herd that he hesitates but he soon enough firms his resolve and moves onwards, doing his best to ignore them and just pass through… hoping that they let him but Chopper's never had a lot of luck in his want's until he met doctor Hiriluk and then Ro.
He bites his lip after he recalls what he said to her and hopes she will forgive him when he apologizes after he finishes healing the doctor, even as he slams his antlers back against his birth sire, the leader of his old herd.
Chopper wins, even at great cost and injury to himself but he preservers as he continues on his quest for the miracle cure, even as the rest of the herd scatter as Ro herself bounds into the clearing and Choppers eyes widen at the sight even as his heart skips a few beats just being in her presence.
'You doing okay Chopper… Not hurt too badly I hope!" Ro asks grinning, teasing him but Chopper can detect the worry so he nods slowly, just making Ro give a happily trot towards him, her tail wagging like crazy.
'I told you that you were absolutely helpless without me! Now let's get this miracle cure shall we?' Ro exclaims grinning all the wider in her own way and Chopper tears up even as he smiles and nods, thankful for one of his most treasured friends showing up to help him even after he was so rude to her.
"..Ro…THANK YOU!"
'Hehe! Don't sweat it cutie! What are friends for eh!' Ro says sunnily and Chopper just cries harder at her kindness.
He is really, really thankful and lucky to have a friend like Ro!
'Chopper! Chopper! Come out already! Did you cure him!?' Ro calls out from down below Choppers den, to big to enter and not wanting to change.
Chopper comes out opening the door, a big grin on his face and nodding proudly and Ro laughs happily, pleased for her friend, tail wagging behind her like mad in her happiness.
'I'm so happy for you Chopper! It's like you're a real doctor now!' Ro exclaims nuzzling into Choppers side as he comes down to be with her carrying some of the soup he made to cure the doctor.
"Shut up you bastard that doesn't make me happy!" Chopper exclaims doing his weird dance again with his big grin causing Ro to laugh.
"Ro here! Eat this! It's the soup I made the doctor It made him all better! There isn't enough for the both of us and it will probably taste disgusting cause it's medicine but I figure since it's a miracle cure it won't harm you and make you stronger if you eat it! Want to try?" Chopper asks shyly and Ro not about to turn down an offer of more strength, especially if it comes to protecting her friend happily agrees, eating it all in one bite with a disgusted expression.
'Disgusting! It's medicine alright!' Ro exclaims and Chopper laughs happily and Ro quickly joins along, his merriment contagious, neither of them noticing or sensing the old man hiding behind the trees with a large sinister grin on his face.
"Hohoho! What a fool! All the better for me!"
"Wh…what do you mean it's poisonous!? It can't be! It had this mark next to it and the doctor always told me it was a good thing! it can't kill him!" Chopper yells at the old woman who just beat him black and blue while informing him of a deadly truth he doesn't wish to believe.
"YOU STUPID REINDEER! IT KILLS WHOEVER EATS IT…. WITHIN THE HOUR!" Kureha screams back at him and Chopper's eyes water in disbelief and shock.
"…That skull and crossbones mean poison! Now listen well… there is no such thing as a miracle cure! That's why doctors are needed! A kind heart alone won't save lives! You must acquire knowledge and medical skills! WITHOUT THOSE THINGS YOU CAN'T SAVE ANYONE!" She informs him and Chopper cries and not thinking about Ro, so caught up in his feelings about doctor Hiriluk he runs out towards him, wanting to save him even though it's impossible.
All the while Ro starts to feel ill within her den while weakly growling at the old human reeking of death, blood and all bad things daring to enter her home all while he chuckles in sadistic mirth.
Crying, utterly wrecked with guilt at the doctor's death Chopper wails as he makes his way back to his house before pausing at spotting a large paw print in the ground belonging to his friend before completely freezing in shock, horror, and panic at remembering the fact he gave Ro the last of the poison.
Turning around in a mad dash Chopper runs to Ro's den like a reindeer possessed hoping he makes it in time to get her to Kureha! She should be able to help her! He can't lose and kill another friend because of his stupidity! Especially not Ro!
He can't lose her!
The guilt would kill him first!
"RO! RO WHERE ARE YOU!?" Chopper shouts slamming into the cave wall of Ro's den and gasps in shocked horror at Ro just lying on the ground, hurt, bloody and barely breathing with a grinning old man next to her.
"Hohoho! Come to see your dying friend have you?" The old man asks grinning and Chopper growls in anger.
"Who are you!? What have you done to Ro!?" Chopper snarls out stepping closer to his friend, glancing in dismay at all the cuts on her, he's never seen Ro this hurt or weak before… he hates it.
"HOHO! Me,? Oh, nothing at all! I saw your friend was sick and came in to help her, I'm a doctor you see but she attacked me so I simply had to defend myself!" the old man humbly tells him and Chopper stops short at that, a doctor?
"…Then you can help her right? Make her better?! Cure her!?" Chopper demands and the old man grins darkly with a petulant mutter.
"After she attacked me I don't think I feel like it! So no!" Chopper panics at that.
"PLEASE! YOU MUST! IM SORRY SHE ATTACKED YOU BUT PLEASE I BEG OF YOU I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK! JUST PLEASE SAVE RO!" Chopper screams out, tears rushing down his face even as Ro weakly lifts her head and gives a low whine.
'…Ch…pp..r…..d…do..t….its a…tr…ck!...h…..e…..al….re…..dy' Ro doesn't get any more out as the old man rapidly places an anesthetic into her unknown to Chopper.
"What? Ro what did you say!?"
"Anything you say?!" The old man distracts Chopper and he nods rapidly, anything to save Ro!
"Then…. how about that rock around your neck? It's very pretty!" the old man asks with a sinister grin unnoticed by Chopper in his worry for Ro.
Gripping the white round stone around his neck tightly Chopper bites his lip hard, Ro gave him this stone shortly after they met and told him to never give it to anyone else no matter what! He can't just…!
A pained whine is let loose from Ro's prone form from a jab to the side Chopper didn't see and he grits his teeth and takes the necklace off not seeing the old man's sadistic grin or insane eyes full of greed.
For Ro… then Chopper will do anything! Even if it makes Ro hate him forever! He cares for Ro more than anything than to just let Ro die due to his mistake!
"HOHOHO! Perfect! I shall 'cure' your friend right away!" The old man says and Chopper sighs in relief, not hearing the mocking in the old man's tone or the way the old man wears the necklace with a sick grin.
Just feeling glad that Ro will live!
"Their! All done! Your friend is 'cured' let's wake her up shall we!?" The old man darkly mutters and Chopper grins in joy, watching in anticipation as Ro slowly wakes up before suddenly startling awake with a shocked look of horror on her face surprising him.
Looking at the necklace around the old man's neck that is just grinning in sadistic glee, Ro growls and snarls and moves to attack the old man who dares ware her necklace.
WHACK!
"HOHOHO! Not so fast mutt! You belong to me now! Your stupid little friend here gave it to me willy nilly! The fool!" The old man grins and Ro widens her eyes and turns betrayed eyes towards Chopper who is shocked and confused at what's happing.
'Chopper? Is it true? You gave this disgusting bastard my necklace?' Ro mutters with a disbelieving and desperate tone to her voice and confused Chopper stutters out a reply.
"Y-yes? He wouldn't cure you otherwise! I had no choice, Ro! I couldn't lose you!" Chopper cries and despairs as Ro's eyes widen more in betrayal, tears forming in her eyes before panic and rage swiftly move to consume it instead.
'…YOU IDIOT! YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER MORONIC FOOL! I TOLD YOU NOT TO GIVE THAT STONE TO ANYONE! I TOLD YOU IT WAS A CONTRACT! IT BINDS ME TO THE USER! YOU COMPLETE MORON! I'M A CONTRACTUAL SNOW WOLF! I'M NOW NOTHING MORE THEN THIS DESPICABLE HUMANS PET DOG! HOW DARE YOU! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU CHOPPER!" Ro screams manically at him utterly incensed and Chopper's eyes widen in dismay, he had completely forgotten Ro was a born contract beast!
And in the hands of even a single, human she is forever trapped to serve them!
To obey them loyally and completely!
"HOHOHO! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU'RE MY MUTT NOW YOU STUPID BEAST! AND FOR MY FIRST ORDER KILL THAT REINDEER!" The old man manically laughs as if he can understand Ro and Ro struggles before whining in pain and moving to comply in anger and crying Chopper runs, utterly ashamed and consumed by guilt.
HE HAD JUST WANTED TO SAVE THE WOMAN HE LOVES!
Shocked at the sudden realization to the conclusion of his thoughts Chopper wails louder planning to save Ro no matter what! even if she now despises him! He will find a good human to become her master instead of the bastard who tricked him!
He'll get that necklace back no matter what!
He's sorry Ro…please wait for him!
****************Flashback end back to the present day**********
Tears in his eyes Chopper somehow manages to escape the enraged Ro's snapping jaws to his neck before transforming into his man point and throwing a punch to the side of Ro's face to which she just snarls and snaps her jaws again in a swift bite and Chopper retreats before his arm is chomped off.
'Freedom was more important to me than anything! Even my own life… and you took that from me! You took everything from me!' Ro snarls before landing another devastating blow to choppers side and he cries out even as he lands harshly and bloody into the snow as Ro continues to stalk after him like the carnivore she is and Chopper struggles to get up, to face his old friend and the love of his life like the enemy that she currently is.
Chopper has no clue what to do! He's not strong enough to actually beat Ro! Not in the wild… and definitely not now!
What can he do to live without harming Ro!?
"Reindeer guy! You can do it! I don't get what's going on between you and the wolf but you can do it!" Luffy yells out and Chopper startles in shock at the encouragement from a guy who tried to eat him before but… gritting his teeth again Chopper gets up and dodges the snap of Ro's massive jaws and turns back into his normal form.
He'll stop Ro… and then he'll free her by killing Koinuil! Kureha won't mind since she loathes her brother and might even praise him for it!
Even if she did mind though… Chopper wouldn't care! Saving Ro… IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO HIM RIGHT NOW!
He simply has to make up for what he had inadvertently done to her!
"GWHAHAHA! Perfect! Now how about I get rid of that ridiculous pirate flag! It ruins the whole look of my castle!" Wapol laughs loudly before transforming his arm into a cannon and shooting at the pirate flag within seconds to Choppers and everyone else's shock.
,"…Hey, reindeer… That pirate flag…." Luffy asks, turning to Chopper who dodges another swipe of Ro's claws and snapping jaws before shouting at Wapol, enraged.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE DOCTORS FLAG!? HE EVEN TRIED TO SAVE YOUR USELESS LIFE!" Chopper yells running towards Wapol in his human form before punching him hard in the face, breaking his nose.
"But don't blame all humans Chopper, this country is sick right now!"
'I'm sorry doctor… but this bastard just isn't worth saving!' Chopper inwardly thinks jumping back and to the side immediately afterward to narrowly miss being killed by Ro.
BOOM!
"WHA!? CHOPPER!" Kureha yells shocked when Wapol fires a shot at Chopper as he falls down enraged.
"HEY NUISANCE!" Everyone pauses as Luffy screams from his place atop the castle, holding the pirate flag up high in the air in defiance.
"WHAT RUBBER BOY!?" Wapol growls and Luffy shouts to the skies, daring Wapol to not hear his words.
"YOUR NOTHING BUT A FRAUD! YOU PRETENDED TO BE PIRATES BUT WERENT WILLING TO RISK YOUR LIVES! YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST MEANING BEHIND THIS FLAG!"
"HOHOHO! Meaning to a pirate flag you say? How ridiculous! There is no meaning but to inspire terror into the hearts of village people to weak to protect themselves!" Koinuil laughs mockingly as he helps Wapol up.
"That shows how much you bastards know! This flag isn't something you fly on a whim!"
"Oh please! I would never fly a pirate flag except as a joke! Now take down that eyesore ruining my castle!" Wapol scowls aiming his hand cannon again and firing directly at Luffy and the eyesore of a flag.
"NO WAY! This skull and crossbones... IS A SYMBOL OF FAITH AND YOU'LL NEVER TEAR IT DOWN!"
BOOOM!
"GWAHAHAHA! I BLEW HIM TO PIECES!" Wapol laughs as Koinuil just scowls.
As the dust quickly clears away, Luffy is seen still standing with the flag flying proudly in the wind, completely intact even as Luffy is visibly smoking from the blast.
"WHAT!?" Wapol shouts bug-eyed at seeing Luffy still standing.
"See! This flag is unbreakable! It's impossible for you to tear it down!" Luffy bellows and Wapol and Koinuil scowl as Ro just stares at the flag and growls.
That flag…. Faith? It's nothing but an eyesore and a symbol of Choppers betrayal!
To his stupidity!
"I don't know who this flag belonged to but… this flag is a promise of life! You don't fly it lightly you hear me! IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE LAUGHED AT OR SHOT!" Luffy tells them strongly and Chopper looks on in amazement.
"What's a pirate?"
"Why! The seas are full of pirates! You must set sail one day and see just how small you're problems really are!"
'So this is a pirate… Amazing!'
"HEY REINDEER! I'm gonna clobber these guys now! What about you?" Luffy asks Chopper startling him.
"FOOL! IF YOU'RE SO DESPERATE TO PROTECT THAT FLAG I WILL DESTROY YOU ALONG WITH IT!" Wapol yells about to blast at Luffy again when Zoro steps in and Wapol goes flying along with strips of blood as Zoro flicks his blade of any remaining blood and glares at them.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt somebodies conversation?" Zoro asks a smirk on his face as Wapol glares after being quickly sutured back up by Koinuil who just gives a disgusting grin.
,"Well reindeer!? What's it going to be!?" Luffy asks a large grin on his face and Chopper gives a small smile back before turning back with determined eyes to Ro who looks right back at him with malice.
"…I'LL FIGHT!" Chopper screams and instead of running towards Ro dashes towards Koinuil who just scoffs arrogantly.
"Mutt!" He says and Ro dashes in front of Koinuil growling and swipes at him leaving 4 long lines of blood to fly but instead of falling back or collapsing like before Chopper grits his teeth as he moves forward.
"AS LONG AS THE DOCTORS FLAG STILL FLYS I'LL PROTECT THIS COUNTRY AND I'LL SAVE RO!" Chopper roars out and Ro snarls.
'YOU COULDN'T EVEN KEEP A PROMISE TO PROTECT ME! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN SAVE ME NOW WHEN I WILL BE FORCED TO SERVE HUMANS FOREVER CAGED!? CHOPPER!?' Ro roars as she transforms into her own devil fruit form, Human-Human-fruit model woman!
"BECAUSE RO…" Chopper begins while whipping out a rumble ball and biting it between his teeth.
"…I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD! I ALWAYS HAVE!" Chopper bellows out, shocking everyone within the clearing and causing Ro to pause for a single moment before she snarls.
'LIAR!'
"GWHAHAHA/HOHOHOHO! A REINDEER IN LOVE WITH A WOLF!? WHAT UTTER INSANITY!" Koinuil and Wapol laugh in hysterics utterly amused and Zoro and Luffy glare at them before Luffy Uses his Devil fruit power to soar towards his opponent, the old man, instinctively knowing he is the stronger of the two.
"SHUT UP! Don't insult my friend!" Luffy shouts before slamming into a force-field the old man set up with an amused grin surprised at being stopped.
It's almost like Usopp's white smoke star but stronger and longer than a few seconds!
"Gwhahaha! As if you could harm my prised royal doctor!" Wapol laughs again moving to shoot at Luffy while he's stuck but is stopped by Zoro.
"My captain is busy, I'll be your opponent you fat tin can!" Zoro mocks him and Wapol growls before firing at him instead of Luffy.
Three fights start simultaneously and the peak rains snow, ice, and blood with every slam and loud bang while ringing with explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! RAOOR!
"Damn! They are fighting already!" Dolton exclaims down below where they are setting up the cable cart to take them to the peak of the mountain.
"I hope Usopp and the others are alright!" Apis says worriedly while Sanji comforts her.
"Don't worry Apis, it's Luffy and Zoro where talking about! They will be fine and they won't let anything happen to Usopp while he can't protect himself" Sanji tells her, not as worried since he beat the two main players back at the shore.
"...Yeah! Your right! I guess I'm just a little more worried since I can hear the pain and rage within one of the animals fighting up top… she's in a lot of pain and distress" Apis says sadly before blinking when Dolton pats her head with a small smile.
"It's alright Apis… I believe I have an idea of what's going on… the wolf and you're friends will be just fine" He tells her looking towards the peak while Apis tilts her head.
"…A wolf?"
"Yes, She's known as the White beast the protector of this land… or at least she was until a few years ago…" Dolton says a melancholy expression on his face.
"Dolton! Your services are no longer needed! Dr, Koinuil here has finally captured that dratted white menace that was preventing some of your king's laws! GWHAHAHA!" Wapol laughs at daltons prone form on the floor, bloody and beaten who's eye are wide open in shock at the chained and growling white beast that used to be a protector to this kingdom but is now nothing more than an unwilling attack dog for a corrupt king and an even more evil doctor.
'…Save her! Chopper!'
"How dare you call me a fat tin can? I'll show you, you pathetic commoner!" Wapol growls firing a few rounds at Zoro that he dodges easily enough, cutting a few in half where they split apart and cause explosions behind him as he walks forward, annoyed that he has to deal with the weakest opponent.
Glancing at the fights going on next to him though he supposes it's not so bad, the deer and the wolf seem to have a past they need to deal with and Luffy… well, Luffy is Luffy, enough said.
Clink!
Turning back to the sound Zoro is surprised to see the tin can bring out a very nice long sword with a presence to it that reminds him of Yubashiri… grinning Zoro decides he wants it, he could always use a spare and if not, Usopp would certainly want it for something or other in that in-genius mind of his.
"If it's a sword fight you want boy… I'm more than willing to comply! Taste the power of my Kitorimari and the might of my sword style… HIKONORI!" Wapol growls before dashing forward much faster than his fat size should allow surprising Zoro and he quickly brings up Wado, surprised at the strength behind the blow.
"Gwahaha! I've been training in swords since the cradle boy! You'll never beat me!" Wapol chuckles darkly and Zoro scoffs.
"Time doesn't matter, all that matters in a sword fight is skill, will, and effort of the user... As if someone who doesn't take the path of the sword seriously could ever beat me" Zoro says before twisting and throwing him back with the power of his swing, placing Wado in its sheath Zoro grabs Kotetsu and Yubashiri and get's into a stance.
"I won't even need to use my santoyu style to kill you" Zoro tells his opponent darkly before dashing forwards.
"As if you can defeat me!" Wapol darkly mutters as he shoots forward himself, holding himself perfectly well against Zoro's nitoyu sword skills.
Zoro doesn't waver though, completely calm since he isn't going all out, he doesn't need to do so for weaklings, it's beneath him.
"Heh! Holding back, are you? Well then let's see how you like my snow warfare! Snow-slash!" Wapol says before with a heavy-handed slash blocks Zoro's vision for a moment and disappears into the landscape only mildly surprising him.
Closing his eyes Zoro breaths deeply before without bothering to open his eyes lift Yubashiri to block Wapol's stab slash while using Kotetsu to stop his attempt at taking a bite out of Zoro's side before opening his left eye a tad and glaring.
"As if such a ploy would work against a real swordsman," Zoro says before pushing him back and bringing his swords to lay horizontally across his shoulders, he leans back only minutely and with a circular swing launches his attack to Wapol's frightened shock.
"Two sword style… Nanajuni Pound Ho!" Zoro says as two air compressed projectile slashes go barrelling towards Wapol's form before twisting his movements into a swing that manages to cut off the hand holding the sword Zoro wants to collect and Wapol screams before flying away in streams of blood, falling down the mountain.
Zoro doesn't even glance back to the no doubt dead man he just callously killed, placing his swords back he removes the dismembered hand holding onto the sword before kicking it away over the mountain and examines the sword, impressed by its shine and powerful aura. It's not as powerful an aura as Yubashiri but it's decent enough as a spare in case anything happens to his battle companions, but as he doesn't know if he will need it just yet he checks if Usopp can find a use for it.
Placing the sword in its sheath the tin can had chucked to the ground when battling him he places it with the rest of his swords before turning back to the fights still going strong around him. Well the wolf and deer's fight anyway, Luffy and the old man have moved the fight into the castle when he wasn't looking.
He just hopes they don't bother Usopp in his recovering state since he'll kill Luffy otherwise.
Standing before the beast that ruined her life Ro scowls in her human-esc form, 6 and a half ft tall, long white hair, bright blue eye's, wearing a form-fitting light purple strap around her breasts and a medium length skirt looking like a furies wet dream and Chopper blushes hotly even as he tenses in preparation to fight.
Three minutes, he has to knockout Ro in three minutes or he's dead since it's all the time the rumble ball gives him.
"It's been a while since I've been in this irritating form, normally I wouldn't use it against a weakling like you but… well, I thought it was appropriate given how you fucked me over for a human" Ro speaks in the human tong mockingly as Chopper grits his teeth.
"I didn't mean to Ro… I just didn't know it was poisonous… Limb boost!" Chopper say's transforming into the normal deer form and dashing towards Ro as she just scoffs.
"Like you ever knew anything Chopper! You still know nothing!" Ro says dashing forwards and slamming against Chopper just as he transforms into his weight boost.
Grappling against each other, attempting to push, punch and kick each other back Ro suddenly slams a head-butt hard against Choppers skull forcing him back a few steps before shaking it off and transforming into his jumping point over the leg sweep Ro gives, attempting to down him to get the upper hand.
"Wh-what! A new form!?" Ro exclaims before gritting her teeth and jumping up into a spinning kick and lashing out at him.
"Guard point!" Transforming again into a large fluffy ball Chopper harmlessly gets kicked to the ground and when Ro lands she growls in understanding.
"I see, so you learned something from the old witch after all eh Chopper?" She spitefully mocks and rushing forwards letting her claws extend out like long daggers from her hands and spinning rapidly, forming a twister to form from her sheer speed where cutting slashes continuously fly out and Chopper stays within his guard point, maneuvering away as swiftly as he can from the spinning slashing twister of death that is Ro.
'Two more minutes! I've got to hurry!'
When Ro stops spinning she's facing him and growling at the multiple slashes now decorating Chopper's body, bleeding freely from the open wounds, not the least bit dizzy and standing as tall, strong and proud as ever.
"Heh… Tell me Chopper? Can your multiple forms beat me your natural predator?" Ro croons and Chopper snorts and glares defiantly at her.
"I know I can Ro! I won't let you beat me! Limb Point! Arm Point!" Chopper tells her determined to do just that as he dashes forwards in his Limb Point and lands a devastating blow to her face with his Arm Point.
Booom!
Ro goes flying into one of the walls of the castle, not letting out a sound not that Chopper expected her too, she's the toughest person Chopper knows and prideful enough to not allow herself to show her pain in battle.
Especially not to someone she hates as she does him.
When the dust clears, Ro is glaring bloody murder, bruises covering parts of her body along with a steadily flowing bloody nose but she takes no notice of it as she stands at easily as if she wasn't just punched hard into a stone wall.
Tilting her head at him Ro grins sadistically.
"Is that all you got you bite-sized snack!?" Ro mocks and dashes faster then the eye can see and Chopper transforms into his Limb Point and dashes away just in time but continues to back up, not daring to move his eyes away for a single moment as Ro continues to glare and snarl at him.
"…No, it's not, just wait! Brain Point!" chopper mutters changing into his normal form and placing his hooves together even as Ro continues to stalk forwards swiftly but deliberately slowly in her mocking arrogance and Chopper takes the advantage she unknowingly gives him.
'One minute left!'
"Scope!" Chopper mutters wracking his brain in order to figure out Ro's weak point besides the obvious sea one.
"How irritating… your efforts amuse me, they truly do but my claws and gums are simply aching to dig into your pliant flesh… so I'm afraid this battle is over Chopper! But worry not! You will still live for a few hours more as I slowly take my time tearing you into strips of meat for my revenge!" Ro tells him and using her arms like swords get's into a stance Chopper doesn't recognize and slowly takes a step forward.
'30 seconds!'
Twisting her body slightly Ro brings her left foot back and lowers her body parallel to the ground.
'20 seconds! Come on where is it….!'
With death in her eyes Chopper grits his teeth as she slides her left, then right arm forwards in a twisting kind of way and opens her mouth.
'10 seconds! Found it!'
Grinning Chopper transforms into his Limb Point and dashes forwards, eyes narrowed into slits just as Ro speaks her moves name.
"Free Wolfs Wind Blast!"
"Arm Point! Boulder Smash!"
KABOOOOM!
'Heh…. I did it!' is the last thoughts given before the area blows up in snow fog, blood and ice as silence ring's out for only a moment before the sounds of battle echo from within the castles open doors.
Word Count: 9939
Really not sure about this chapter… but I got my fantasy backstory of bittersweet romance between Chopper and a hunter animal so I guess I'm happy?
Also sorry if the fighting scenes suck… I'm not used to writing them and I have to look up the moves used by the characters in manga/anime while also trying to fit new moves or skill sets into enemies…. So yeah I try.
Also I don't care if you dislike that I paired chopper with someone or what anyone thinks about pairing Usopp and Zoro together, not going to change the way I write the story just to make a few readers disapproving of it happy since it is my story, if it makes me happy it means I post it.
OnepieceZoroOc thanks you for reading!
