Tony Tony Chopper still couldn't believe his eyes and his memory. 50B. 50B! Was he not worth any more than that? Not even a little? As he drifted off to sleep that night, the poster still clutched weakly in his hooves, the young reindeer dreamed of a much bigger bounty…

WANTED – DEAD OR ALIVE

TONY TONY CHOPPER

5000 B

A woman watched as a tall, rough-and-buff man strode by, his antlers large and intimidating. She whispered to herself, fear lacing her words "is that the ruthless reindeer all the big pirates are alarmed of?"

Chopper simply chuckled. He was impressive, he was cool, he was… feared? Chopper faltered, slowly realizing the townspeople were hiding from him in terror. Peeking out their doors and windows in dread of what the pirate doctor might do. Chopper decided that leaving was likely the best thing he could do right now and ran to the Sunny, docked nearby. But, as fast as he was running, the ship he lived on with his nakama never seemed to get any closer and Chopper was beginning to panic.

"Don't leave me behind! I know I'm not as strong as you guys, but please don't leave me!"

He screamed, fear closing his throat, squeezing his air away. With a start, Chopper was suddenly awake, panting in the cold night air.

The slow swaying of the waves, creaking of the Sunny's boards helping sooth him. It took a moment before he recognised the shaking of his shoulders was not just from his own sobs. He was being hugged and rocked, someone was mumbling something about how he didn't have to be strong, that was what the monster trio was for and 'you're already so strong'. The smell of gunpowder and paint told him Usopp was there with him, holding him tight. Nearby was the acrid scent of bitter cigarettes and cooking herbs that Sanji wore like a suit, though he was hidden in the shadows.

"Chopper, are you aware you were screaming in your sleep? Is everything ok?" Sanji asked gently, his smooth voice calm and relaxing.

Chopper shook his head, then answered with a quiet no and an "I'm not sure."

"Chopper, you were yelling 'don't leave me behind' in your sleep.' Usopp mentioned quietly, concern for his friend painting his voice.

The reindeer hybrid twitched at the haunting words, his dream quickly re-playing in his mind. He looked towards the cook and sniper and admitted what had happened. "I was just … dreaming about my wanted poster. I feel like my must not be as strong as you guys when it's so low…"

Sanji blinked in surprise, he hadn't realised the poster had affected the youngest crewmember like this. "Is… is that what you think? Chopper, you and I are the only people on this ship with terrible posters, for one reason or another. So we have to stick together and keep going."

At this Chopper began to smile and his whole face brightened, the dark seeming to shrink away. "Yeah! We'll get better posters soon!" he cheered, forgetting it was still night and the others were sleeping. Luckily, the rest of the boys were still fast asleep. "Oops. Hey Sanji?" at his 'hmm?' Chopper continued, "Can I sleep in your bed with you?"

"Sure. Night Usopp."

"Goodnight Sanji, Chopper."

"Night Usopp, night Sanji."
