The Transforming Doctor

Luffy didn't stop when he heard someone calling out to him. He only cared about reaching the mountain where he can treat his friends. He kept walking his eyes fixed on the bottom of the mountain where he would begin to climb to the castle…

However, fate had other plans for him as Wapol managed to intercept him and stand in his way. The ex-pirate then said, "You little twerp, stop!" the man looked at him with an annoyed and somewhat disgusted look, "You have disrespected far too many times. You need to pay for your transgressions."

The boy looked at him with a vein on his forehead, "Get out of my way, you dumb moron. I don't have time for idiots like you." He tried to move, but Wapol's hippo stopped him.

The user of the Munch-Munch fruit then said, "Huh?" he looked at the two Luffy was holding and laughed, "What have you lost your mind? Why would I do that? And what the hell are you doing with these two meat bags? Leave them be. They're going to die anyways."

Luffy then jumped over them and continued to walk away from them ignoring the man who began shouting at him to come back, look at him, and stop ignoring him. Luffy didn't do anything except keep walking forward, but something he heard made him tense.

Wapol said, "Hey, Chess" The clown-looking man looked at Wapol, "I made a new law that dictates that anyone who ignores me or turns his back to me will die immediately."

Luffy's eyes widened as he heard Wapol yell, "Now go and kill that idiot. Make him and his friends suffer. Kill his friends and then kill him." The man had a satisfied smile on his face when he saw his two chiefs attack Luffy who jumped away to avoid them.

Kuromarimo then lifted his fist and metal spikes emerged from them, "Iron spike," Luffy jumped away from the attack, leaving a dent in the ground, causing the boy to panic. He then ducked under an arrow shot by Chess. This was becoming increasingly troublesome.

Luffy was about to fight back, but he then remembered Sanji's words back when they fought the rabbits. He remembered how the blond told him that Robin was in no state to handle any feedback or hits from any fight, so he now did what he thought was the best option at the moment.

He turned around and began to run as fast as his feet can carry…

Chess threw an arrow in his way, "Come back here and fight us, you coward." The man threw another arrow, but his frown increased when the boy managed to avoid it by jumping above it.

Luffy still running yelled, "Damn it. Leave me alone, you freaks. I don't want to fight you. I'd beat you three anyway. You aren't that strong, to begin with." This enraged Wapol.

The man then yelled, "Anyone who manages to get me that brat's head will be rewarded handsomely." The two men then began to increase their attacks hoping to hit him.

Chess then said, "Stop running and just accept your faith. You aren't doing anything, but delaying the inevitable." The man threw an arrow, but Luffy jumped over it. However, there was another threat…

Kuromarimo then dashed toward the boy and tried another attack, but the boy avoided him. The boy ran away from them, but he then heard, "Winter Empire's Secret Technique: Hiding in the Snow."

Suddenly, Wapol emerged from the snow opening his mouth wide, but Luffy jumped above putting both his legs on his jaws before jumping away and running from them. He needed to get away from this crazy king, but suddenly the boy was blindsided by Chess and Kuromarimo.

They both try to attack him, but something happened that caused everyone to be shocked…

Two huge lapins came out of nowhere and attacked the two chiefs kicking them from Lufyy and catching everyone by surprise, as Chess said, "Did those feral creatures just help them?"

Luffy looked at them with shock on his face, "White Bear" The lapins looked at them and nodded at him causing him to keep moving on. The boy then ran away.

Wapol looked with a horrified look on his face, "What in the world happened here? Did those monsters go out of their way to help this brat?"

Kuromarimo then sneered, "Well, this isn't something you see every day. What happened here?"

Chess then said, "I still can't believe that those mindless beasts just defended him, and he's getting away." He then looked at the white huge rabbits and said, "You'll pay for this."

One of the lapins then looked at Luffy and the boy saw the little rabbit as the older one flexed its muscles while Wapol yelled, "Do something, you idiots. He's running away."

The boy looked back at the lapins, "Thank you for helping me get away from here. Good luck."

The boy kept running away from Wapol and his crazy bunch as the base of the mountain began to grow closer and closer to him until he finally managed to reach it. The boy looked to the top of the mountain and sighed. This was going to be a rough climb.

The boy then said confidently, "Don't worry, guys. It's only a small climb. I'll get you to the doctor in no time." The boy felt the wind pick up, but he didn't care as he tightened the nod around Robin's waist and put Sanji's jacket into his mouth grabbing the man in his jaw tightly.

Luffy then threw off his sandals and grabbed the wall and he began to climb the seemingly endless mountain. It was a rough climb. Many times, during the climb, he would almost lose his footing and almost fall, but he would grab himself at the last moment. He just can't fail right now. He made it this far so he has to keep going. There's no turning back right now.

Luffy was already 3 hours into his climb to reach the top of the mountain. It was a hard and painful climb. He can already feel his fingers beginning to suffer from frostbite, but then one of his fingernails snapped when put his hand on the mountain. The boy screamed in pain, but this let Sanji fall.

The boy's eyes almost bugged out as he saw the blond man fall. The boy quickly stretched his neck and grabbed the man. He mentally sighed and continued to climb the mountain.

The boy continued to climb the mountain, telling himself that he wouldn't fail this and can't stop. He kept climbing as the wind blew in his face, but he then began to see the top.

This caused the boy to pick up the pace and climb as fast as he can given that he was in a bad condition himself and can feel his body begging to stop moving. Once he reached the top, he put his two companions down as he looked at the castle and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to bring you to the doctor?" he then passed out but began to roll backward…

Someone then grabbed him, and pulled him with the other three back…

The man who saved their lives looked like he was a yeti or bigfoot with brown fur all over his body. He was also wearing a hat atop his head similar to the one the reindeer following the crazy old doctor was wearing. He then grabbed them and quickly ran to the castle to give them medical attention.

Back on the ground, Wapol stood upon the defeated Lapins, "Hahahahahaha!" the man crossed his arms with a victorious look on his face, "You are just rabbits! Did you really think that you can beat me? King Wapol of the Drum kingdom."

Kuromarimo then said, "I still find it hard to believe that those monsters actually protected someone, and they also forced us to use our real power."

Chess added, "Well, after this, I think that everything is possible. And it's only natural to use our power. Those monsters are the strongest creatures are this island."

Wapol then kicked one of the huge rabbits exclaiming, "I'll get you for this, you damned brat."

Somewhere in the snow, Vivi and Nami dragged Usopp from his nose after miraculously managing to survive the avalanche. Vivi was saying to him, "Come on, Usopp. Stay with us."

She then heard the boy begin to mumble which made her feel happy as she looked at Nami and said, "Usopp is talking so he must have woken up."

The orange-haired girl smiled, "Well, that means that we won't need to drag him anymore. Good thing he woke. I was beginning to become tired." The blue-haired girl sweat-dropped at Nami's priorities.

She then heard the boy mumble, "What is this beautiful white place that I'm at? I feel like I can sleep forever here. This place also has a beautiful white garden too."

Vivi's face paled as she grabbed Nami and began to shake her back and forth, "Nami, he's going to do what are gonna do? We already have Robin on Death's Door; we don't need another there."

Nami yelled through her dizziness, "I can't do anything if you keep shaking me like this." Vivi then stopped shaking her as the orangette looked at her and said, "Thank you."

The girl walked up to Usopp who was still mumbling like a crazy person and said, "Usopp, I'm going to give you one chance to snap out of this or you'll suffer the consequences."

Vivi raised an eyebrow, but Nami carried on, "Oh I guess that you won't snap out of it and we technically don't have time for this so don't blame anyone, but yourself…"

The only thing that was heard after that was the sound of a fist colliding with someone's head…

A couple of moments later, Usopp was glaring at Nami, "Are you insane? I was almost dying and the first thing you thought was punching me in the head." The girl shrugged making to boy yell, "What would have happened if I actually died from your hits?"

The girl looked at him and frowned, "You didn't die, so stop whining about it. Everything's fine."

The boy wanted to protest some, but Vivi intervened, "I'm sure Nami means well, Usopp. She was very worried about you when you were out." The boy stopped a little but still glared at the orange-haired girl who didn't seem to care one bit.

Vivi then added, "Plus, we need to focus on reaching Dalton's hometown so we can talk with him." The girl rubbed her shoulder and said, "He seemed quite startled when he left the bar."

Usopp replied, "I mean if the man who ruined my life and many others appeared after abandoning everything, I would be a little uncomfortable."

Nami then retorted, "You're always uncomfortable when it comes to fighting."

The boy and the girl began to argue as Vivi laughed a little at their behavior, but suddenly something emerged from the snow scaring the three, but once they got a clearer look they were confused when they saw Zoro rubbing his body to try and find warmth.

Zoro then shuddered in the cold, "Man, I was training when the avalanche happened and I got buried in it." He then rubbed his shoulders, "Perhaps training naked in the snow was a bad idea after all."

Usopp then yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing in the middle of the snow half-naked?"

Zoro then looked at them and asked, "What are guys doing here in the middle of nowhere?"

This caused the three to yell back at him, "You tell us first what you were doing here?"

After a small explanation, Nami punched him on the head, "Don't you have any sort of self-perseveration mode? You could have died here and no one even would have known."

The man looked at her and growled, "How the hell do you think you're punching, witch?"

The man's only reply was another punch to the head, "Don't act like this when you're the one who almost killed himself?' she turned around and then added, "Besides, don't you have any manners? The nerve of you to ask a lady her age!" she stomped on the ground and walked away.

Zoro rubbed the back of his head, "What's her problem?"

Usopp then said, "Word of advice; never ask a lady her age or say she looks old because they beat you up like what happened with that old woman, you encountered." The man nodded his head.

Vivi then said, "But still swimming in the cold river was a reckless move, Zoro."

The man shrugged, "I was only training my body. The whole purpose was to make it resist the elements." He shuddered some more, "but it worked in the end. I'm better than I used to be."

Usopp coughed into his hand loudly, "I highly doubt that, but sure whatever makes you happy."

They kept walking but eventually stopped when they saw the villagers of Dalton's hometown standing in front of an army of soldiers who were stopping them from doing something.

Zoro rubbed the back of his head, "Don't they all look a bit familiar?"

Usopp scratched his nose and ask, "Now that you mention it, they do." He then remembered where they saw them, "Aren't they Wapol's men? What are they doing here and what's happening?"

One of the villagers saw them and stepped forward, "You need to help us." He looked at the 4, "Dalton is trapped under the snow and he might die, but those men won't allow to dig him out."

The villager looked at Zoro closely and yelled, "And what the heck is wrong with you? Where are your clothes? You'll die if you stay like this." Zoro then tried to take his jacket, but the man stopped him, "Go and steal someone else's clothes. I still need these, or I'll die as well."

The villagers were all trying to free Dalton from the snow as they yelled at the soldiers who only replied that they only do their king's will.

Zoro then said, "They work for that Wapol guy, right?" his face became harder, "So that means they are our enemy since Wapol is our enemy, so I can beat them up…"

Usopp looked at him, "And they say that you aren't smart. Yeah, you can beat them up."

The man smiled as he quickly moved and punched one of the soldiers unconscious stealing his jacket, "Man, I feel much better now." He began to pat himself on the back.

One of the men yelled, "Hey, how do you think are? You're attacking his majesty's men."

Zoro looked at them devilishly and asked, "Remind me, who are you people again?" and with that, the rest was history.

In the doctor's castle, a small voice yelled, "Doctrenu, the antidote is working." The woman nodded her head as the voice asked again, "Can you tell me how did it work and what caused this in the first place?" the figure then began explaining what happened.

inside a laboratory, Robin could be seen inside a bed. The raven-haired beauty began to stir and move till she finally woke up from her sleep. The girl looked around and observed her surroundings.

A small smile made it on her face, "So he did make it up here. I never doubted him for a moment."

The girl then looked around till she saw something intriguing. It was a small bipedal reindeer. The girl then coughed into her fist and looked at it, "Hello" she said in the softest voice possible to not scare him. This proved to be useless as the creature stumbled back in fear.

The creature then stared at her for a brief moment, but the scrambled and hid behind the door causing her to chuckle a little. It was hiding the wrong way with most of its body appearing.

Robin then smiled, "You're hiding the wrong way, little one." She then made an arm that poked its nose causing a blush to appear on its face as it hid the right way.

The girl then spoke, "My name is Nico Robin. Can you help me look for my boyfriend; he's my age and wears a strawhat on his head most of the time…"

The creature came running in and pushed her into her bed, "No, you can't just move out of the body yet. Your body is still recovering. You might hamper the recovery process." He then added, "Plus, the boy that you're talking about is sleeping somewhere else."

Robin then smiled forming arms that picked the creature up and she hugged him, "Aren't you the cutest little thing ever? By the way, did you eat a devil fruit like me? Was it one that gave reindeer-like features?"

The creature looked at her curiously, "You aren't afraid of me." He shook his head, "You don't think I'm a scary-looking monster…" he looked down in what she thought was pain and sadness.

She then hugged him tighter, "Of course, not. You're cute. I already like you." She then smiled, "And if I know my boyfriend, he'll definitely ask you to join his crew." She left out the part that said 'If he doesn't try to eat you when he sees you'.

She then asked, "So aren't you going to give me a name?"

The creature looked at it and contemplated if it should tell her or not, but a voice interrupted your conservation, "Chopper before you introduce yourself next time, ask the patient if it's feeling better or not."

the now named Chopper then jumped and bowed, "You're right, Doctrine. I'm sorry. I promise that I won't do this mistake ever again."

The girl looked around and saw an elder lady standing there with a bottle of beer in her hand.

The girl was concerned for the woman's health and asked, "Ma'am, are you sure that you can drink that? I'm that drinking is bad for your age." She noticed the woman's hand twitch a little.

The woman walked up to her and whacked her on the head causing the small creature in her arms to fall to the ground and yell in fear, "Dr. Kureha, you can't just attack your patients."

The woman looked at him and said, "Go check over the others before I make you into a sweater."

The woman then began to check over Robin, "Well, you seem to be quite fine. You were even cracking jokes about my age." She then looked at Robin, "And just for reference, I'm still in my youthful 130. And like Chopper said my name is Kureha. It's a pleasure to meet you awake and not at death's door."

The girl then asked, "Can I know what happened to me? I felt that I was about to boil over and do."

The woman slapped her fondly on the cheek, "That's because you were one day away from joining my dear mother in heaven." Robin paled, "Your boyfriend brought you here in time."

The woman then asked her, "Do you want to know the secret of my youth?" Robin sweat-dropped a little, but she politely refused the offer making the woman huff in amusement.

Robin then inquired, "Can you tell me what caused this to happen to me? You never gave me an answer when I asked the first time."

The woman walked up to her with a smile on her face and grabbed her hand turning it around, "Sweetie, you were bitten by a bug named Casha. Its poison can kill anyone in 5 days. You're lucky we were the nearest island since the entire world doesn't have the antidote anymore."

The girl gasped and laughed a little nervously, "Well, I guess I can say that I'm the luckiest girl in the world. My luck must be something to have that bug bite me."

"Now that you mention it," the girl looked at her doctor, "How did it bite you? I mean you weren't walking around in the jungle and you just swatted a random bug which happened to be a Casha."

The girl remembered when she swatted a bug off Nami back at Little Garden, but she didn't linger much on the thought because the woman pushed her to sleep, "Go to sleep, little girl. You still need to rest your body after it fought for your life."

The girl leaned back, "But I have to ask who is that little cute thing that was here?"

The woman looked at her and laughed, "You like him. I'm surprised. Most people are afraid of him." The woman rubbed her chin, "But then again, you aren't Ms. Normal yourself, are you?"

Robin tilted her head, "Ah, you mean my devil fruit. I ate it when I was much younger."

The woman hummed a little, "Well, we can talk much more about this in the next few weeks."

Robin then yelled, "What? But I can't wait that much." The woman looked at her with a smile, "My friend needs to be taken to her country very soon or else everything will be lost."

The woman walked up to Robin and slammed a scalpel beside her, "You'll only leave when I say so, got it?" the girl nodded her head carefully, "Good" She then sat on a chair and heard a commotion coming from the other room, "Your friends must have woken and are annoying Chopper if the noise is anything, but for your question about Chopper; he is a special case where an animal ate a fruit that gave him human features. You can imagine the hell that caused."

The woman smiled fondly, "You all should be happy he found you on my doorstep and brought you in. All of you were about to fall down the mountain if it wasn't for Chopper catching you."

"He's also my medical assistant in this castle." She then smiled happily, "That's why I teach him everything I know about the medical world."

A few moments ago, in the room beside Robin, Chopper was tending to the wounds of Sanji and Luffy.

He then heard the rubber boy stir in his sleep. He didn't make much of it until he turned and saw the boy looking at him with drool falling down his mouth, "Mhmm, I want some delicious deer meat."

Chopper slowly backed away till he hit Sanji's bed. He then heard the blond man talking about the greatest ways to cook deer meat. This finally caused him to snap and run away with the other two chasing him down to eat him.

They kept chasing him around till he finally had enough and transformed into a bulkier form of himself slamming them both into the ground, "I am not food, you idiotic humans."

Both of the men were then knocked out for a couple of minutes, but Kureha dragged them to her office. She sat down as she worked on some medicine in her lab.

Luffy then woke up with Sanji and they both looked around, "Where's the meat? I need to eat."

Kureha then said, "Calm down, boy." He then looked at her and she said, "So you're the one who did the impossible and climbed the mountain. I have to say that I'm impressed."

The boy forgot his hungry and asked her, "Are you the witch doctor of this castle that everyone down in Big Horn talks about?" the boy was kicked in the face and fell to the ground.

Kureha then said, "Didn't they ever teach you to respect your elders, brat?"

The boy rubbed his head, "I'm sorry, but still; are you the doctor that the people talk about?"

The woman looked at him and asked, "What do I look to you, boy? A wizard from the west blue."

The boy rubbed the back of his head, "I know that there's the tree of knowledge in the west blue, but nothing about wizards."

The woman looked at Sanji and said, "Seriously, this guy is your leader. What are you guys planning to do?" the woman pointed to the ocean outside her window, "Sail into your doom?"

The woman looked at the boy and nodded her head which made Luffy say, "I want you to join our, auntie. We're in desperate need of a doctor and you'd be perfect."

The woman responded by kicking him once more in the face and telling him to watch his tone with her or they'll be more pain in his future. Luffy kept trying to convince her only to get rapidly beaten down by her because he was accidentally making references to her age.

Meanwhile, during the entire conservation, Chopper was by the door hiding the wrong way as he thought if those people were truly pirates. He didn't have much time to think about it because both men saw him…

And with that another chase began around the castle, but this time with the doctor tailing the two men threatening to end their lives if they harmed her reindeer. It was a hilarious scene for Robin.

She was watching them from an eye she made on Kureha's eyeglasses after she requested that from the doctor and the woman expected.

She did also try to find the source of a drift she was feeling, but Chopper entered the room. She looked at him and smiled, "How are you doing Chopper? Can you please close the door for me? I'm a little cold, and the doctor forbade me from moving too much."

The small reindeer yelled, "Alright, you stupid human." He then closed the door, but then asked in a nicer voice, "How are you now? Do you feel better? Even though Doctrenu's medicine is strong and the fever is almost gone, but we need to be sure."

The girl smiled, "Yes, I'm already beginning to feel better. In fact, I can thoroughly say I can leave at any time, but your mentor is the one keeping me here."

The reindeer then screamed, "That's because she only wants what's best for you, stupid human."

The girl wasn't bothered by this, but smiled in his face and said, "And thank you for taking care of me."

She was shocked when the reindeer began dancing while insulting her. It was a funny scene if you asked her, but it was cute and befitting the smaller creature.

"So, tell me, Chopper" the reindeer looked at her, "Do you want to become a pirate like Luffy and me one day?" he seemed to be listening carefully, "Because we need a doctor and you would fit perfectly inside the crew."

This caused the reindeer to jump back in shock and yell, "Don't be crazy. I'm a reindeer. Who wants to live with me?" he then saw her look at him with sadness.

Robin walked up to him and hugged him tightly, "You poor thing, people must have mistreated you so much that you can't bring yourself to trust anyone." The girl then let him go, "I know how that feels."

Chopper looked at her and yelled, "What do you mean by that? I have no idea what you're talking about." He then looked away, "Plus, I don't want anything to do with you humans. I'm fine here."

Robin smiled sadly, "When I was younger, I eat a devil fruit. Everyone on my island hated me." She remembered the bad memories, "My auntie used to hit me every day because I was a burden to her and her family. She made my life a living hell." She then went on to tell him all of her abuse.

The little reindeer gasped, "That sounds so horrible, but how were you able to deal with it?" the girl then told him how the scholars of Ohara took her in as their adoptive daughter, and how she met Luffy who was her friend for the first time. She then went on to tell him how they both decided to save her island and her life in her new home in the east blue.

The reindeer meanwhile looked at her with a curious look, "But why are telling all this, human?"

The girl smiled, "Because I want you to come with this, silly. You'd make a perfect fit for the crew."

The reindeer was about to rebuff her, but the door was opened by Sanji and Luffy being chased by the doctor, but when they saw Chopper, they began to chase him once more around the castle much to the tiny reindeer's displeasure.

Kureha sat inside the room with Robin who was chuckling at the whole event. It was funny seeing Luffy interact with their new doctor as he tried to eat him.

Kureha looked at her and laughed a little, "Well, aren't you the smart one? What were you doing planting crazy ideas in my assistant's head? Trying to take him away from me, are we?"

The girl smiled a little, "No, I just a little bit of myself in him, so I decided to help him." The girl looked outside, "I felt that his heart is bleeding and he needs friends, so I told him to come with us." She looked at the old woman, "I hope that there aren't any problems with that."

The woman chuckled, "I have no problem. In fact, you can take him, right now if you want to." She then looked at a vial, "But like you said his heart is bleeding. His trust was broken time and time again. First by his parents when they abandoned him for his blue nose, and then when he ate the devil fruit; people called him a monster."

She then looked at the girl with a sad smile, "Do you think that you can cure his heart?"

The girl smiled happily, "I'm sure that I'll make him smile by the end of the day."

The woman looked outside at the snow, "However, there was only one man that ever talked to him without any fear. He was Chopper's first friend in the world and he was the one that made him love pirates and was the reason why Chopper gained a big dream."

The girl smiled, "Can you tell me about him? He seems like a good man."

The woman laughed a little, "Oh, believe me, he was the furthest thing for a good man, though calling him evil will be an exaggeration. He was mostly an ignorant fool with good intentions. He used to do a lot of scams and trick people, but one day, he decided to be a doctor. He was a horrible one…"

The girl giggled, "I imagine whomever he treated would always end up getting worse."

The woman chuckled, "You have no idea, though it was a good boon for my business. I was known as the local doctor who used to fix his screw-ups. He was known by Doctor Hilruk. A crazy quack is what I would name if he was still around. He hoped through cherry blossoms he'd be able to heal people's hearts from the darkness that enveloped them in this kingdom. He was truly weird."

The girl smiled, "I suppose that sometimes the greatest of people have weird habits."

The woman nodded her head, "One day, he came across Chopper who was severely injured. At first, Chopper refused to even come near, but the idiot stripped butt-naked to prove to him that he didn't mean harm. After that, he healed Chopper and adopted him like a son. He began to tell Chopper about pirates and how they have adventures. He told him about the cure to treat all diseases, and that somebody he'll heal everyone with the cherry blossoms. They became partners in crime."

Robin smiled at the story but she sensed that the happy times were about to be over, "However, happy times were about to end because Wapol came to rule after his father's death. The man for lack of a better term was a spoiled better. He wanted everything to be his and wanted people to grovel at his feet, so he ordered that all the doctors across the country be killed. The only ones left were me and that quack." The woman shook her head, "But it appears that Hilruk came down with a deadly sickness that gave him little time to live.

Robin gasped, "Oh dear goodness. That's so horrible. Chopper must have been devastated."

The woman nodded her head, "He was, but that was after Hilruk kicked him out because he didn't want him to see him die. I told him about his father's status, but in an attempt to heal him, he killed him even further. Chopper went out and harvested a deadly mushroom thinking it would heal Hilruk due to the similar nature of the skull and crossbones of pirates."

The woman sighed, "The man at that point has long accepted his coming death so he drank it, and went to confront Wapol who made a state of emergency saying a deadly disease had spread around the kingdom. I don't know what happened there, but from what I heard was that he was relieved that no one was really sick and he took his own life just to not allow Chopper to blame himself."

Robin had tears flowing down her eyes at this point, "This sounds so sad."

Kureha carried on, "At that point, Chopper arrived there and saw his father's death and tried to avenge him, but Dalton stopped him and told him to leave. He then came to me waving that pirate flag begging me to make him into a doctor."

Kureha then said, "You see that hat he wears." The girl nodded her head, "This was the last reminder of Hilruk that was given to him by the man. He holds onto it tightly."

With the boys, they were running around the castle, but they seem to have gotten lost. Sanji then noticed an opened door, "That door must be the reason why there is so much snow inside. I must close it to make Robin-chwan doesn't feel ill."

Luffy punched him upside the head, "Stop calling her that." The man glared at him, "I'm her boyfriend and only I have the right to give her nicknames." The blond man grumbled as he walked to the door to close it, but someone yelled, "Stop it! Don't close the door." They looked up and saw Chopper on the stairs looking at them.

The two ignored him and went to close it, but all they got was the small reindeer training into his muscular form and smashing them both across the head and outside the castle, "Didn't I tell you to stop?" he then pointed to the top of the door, "Look, there. if you close the door, you'll hurt them."

Both of the boys looked to the top of the door and saw a bird nest on the top. The boys then ran inside the castle, and Sanji then said, "Wait! Did the reindeer just talk?"

Luffy then added, "He was also walking on two feet!" they both looked at each other and yelled, "What the hell is happening here?" in the distance Chopper could be seen walking away sadly.

Luffy then smiled a little, "But he looks so cool! I have to ask him to join my crew."

Luffy then ran after him, "Hi reindeer thing, I want you to join my crew. Come on, let's be pirates so we can be friends. We'll have so many adventures. Join me." This once again led to another comedic chase between the boy and the talking reindeer.

As Chopper was being chased, he then smelt something. The reindeer growled at the familiar scent, "No way… it can't be possible… Wapol's back."

On the mountainside, Wapol could be seen riding his hippo while saying, "No one can defy the king."

In Big Horn, a bunch of defeated soldiers was on the ground groaning with pain after Zoro was through with them. The villagers quickly went and dug Dalton out of the snow.

One of them said, "Oh no, he's severely injured. What are we going to do?"

The doctors that helped Wapol before came and said, "Move aside. We'll help him."

The villagers then made a shield with their bodies and yelled at them, "Do you think we'll believe you?" "You're all Wapol's lackeys" "We can't trust you with our lives."

The doctors tried to explain the situation, "Please calm down. We only served Wapol because we had no other choice. He would have killed us if we didn't. we needed to serve to make sure people wouldn't get sick and have no one to heal them."

Nami felt bad for the doctors. She understood what it feels like to work with someone holding an ax on your neck. She then yelled, "Move aside. Let them do their job."

The villagers looked at her angrily, but Vivi explained, "Please, let the doctors do their work. I know that you don't trust them, but please remember that they were Wapol's prisoners as much as you people were." The villagers nodded with hesitation.

In 5 minutes, Dalton was good as new. It took a while, but he came back to the land of the living and looked around, "What happened here? Why am I in bandages?" he then remembered what happened and jumped, "Where's Wapol? Where did he go? I need to stop him."

The doctors then grabbed him saying, "Dalton, sir. Please, you need to relax. Your injuries are still fresh and raw. They might get infected again."

The man grumbled, but then said, "I have to go to him. I have to stop him."

One of the villagers then said, "I heard the lift from the other town was back on. We can use it to ascend the mountain." Dalton didn't wait any longer as he stood and began to head to the lift.

Usopp then yelled, "THERE WAS A LIFT THIS ENTIRE TIME."

Back at the castle, Wapol stood in front of the castle and said, "It's sweet to be home. I missed it"

Author's notes:

Welcome back to a new chapter of my story. In this chapter, we saw Luffy reach the doctor and Chopper's backstory. The next one will mostly focus on the fight with Wapol and the end of the Drum Kingdom arc.

As always please take care of yourselves, put a review telling us your opinion about the current chapter, and tell me which arc you are most excited for.
