I just have a question: what should I do to get more views, reviews, favorites or others ?
" Seven transformations. " Luffy repeated. " You are great, the reindeer. "
" Shut up ! " Chopper ordered him, while he couldn't help but dance. " Your words don't make me happy at all. "
Looking around, Sanji saw Virgo giving Raynare the antidote. But other than her, no one else was still standing.
" The lion is gone? Hey, wait ! Where is Wapol? "
" Uh ? " Luffy wondered, looking for him. " He left ? How did he do it ? I have not stopped watching him. "
" You only watched the reindeer fight, moron. "
" AHHHHHHHHH! " Suddenly a voice shouted.
" What ? " Luffy wondered.
" Lucy-chan. " Sanji recognized.
" LUCY ! " Raynare cried, straightening up suddenly.
Running through the halls of the castle, Lucy was pursued by Wapol.
" Come back ! I will devour you. "
" AHHHH ! What took me to leave my room? And what does he want from me? "
Finally, passing through a door, Lucy continued on her run. However, she was surprised to hear no more footsteps behind her back. Taking the risk of turning around, Nami was surprised to see Wapol stuck in the doorway. He was too fat.
" Damn ! I knew I had gained weight again. "
Seeing him thus stuck, Lucy then pulled her eyelid down before sticking her tongue out.
" Well done for you, big fat man. "
" How dare you ? " Roared Wapol. " You are going to regret it ! BAKU BAKU FACTORY ! "
At that moment, Lucy thought she was going to throw up, seeing him eating himself.
" What … ? "
Finally, within seconds, all that remained of Wapol was his huge steel chin.
" What … he self-digested ? "
" Finished. " Then shouted the chin. " Miracle cure for obesity! SLIMUP WAPOL ! "
Immediately, Wapol reappeared with a much leaner body than before.
" What ? Impossible. "
" Impressive, isn't it ? I can lose weight instantly! But now I am a little hungry ! Come over there. "
" Help. " Cried Lucy.
Unfortunately, running faster thanks to his weight loss, Wapol managed to catch her and knocked her to the ground.
" Let me go. "
" I will devour you. " The king asserted, opening his jaws wide.
Unfortunately for him, a boot hit the back of his head sending him away from Lucy.
" That … ? " The king wondered, straightening up.
He froze then, seeing Raynare. Spreading her wings, she surrounded Lucy with them, making sure she was protected.
" Junk. " Roared the fallen angel, now able to move after Virgo gives her the antidote.
" But how ? " Wapol wondered, stepping back.
" GUM GUM RIFLE ! "
Jumping back in time to avoid Luffy's fist, Wapol saw him land in front of him.
" Mugiwara. "
" I found you, the can ... "
Luffy fell silent then, before examining Wapol's body. Finally, he wanted to know.
" Who are you ? "
" It's Wapol, moron. " Raynare roared.
" What ? "
" RUN ! " Cried Wapol, running away.
" Hey, come back. " Luffy ordered, following him.
For her part, Lucy was still shaking after the fear she had just experienced. Still, she felt reassured, as Raynare stayed close to her.
" Ray-chan…? "
Suddenly remembering the last time she had seen Lucy, Raynare began to touch her all over the place, even under her pajamas.
" Hey. " Cried Lucy, kicking her on the head
" You no longer have a fever. " Raynare observed. " Lucy, you are healed. "
" Of course … "
She suddenly fell silent, feeling Raynare start to hug her.
" I'm so happy. "
Not saying anything, Lucy ends up smiling in turn, before affirming.
'' Glad to know that you worried about me. "
" LUCY-CHAN ! "
Arriving crawling on the floor, Sanji also arrived, scaring Lucy a little.
" Sanji, what happened to you? "
" No matter what, what matters is that you are in good health! Where's that motherfucker from Wapol ? "
" Luffy takes care of him. " Raynare assured, getting to her feet.
However, she felt her foot crush something.
" Hum? " Raynare wondered, seeing a key on the ground.
" Come back, the cannibal. "
Hearing Luffy behind his back, Wapol began to growl.
" Bad luck. This kid is a real chewing gum ! And on top of that, I lost the key to the armory ! I only have one thing left to do ! My last asset. "
Finally, arriving at the top of the tallest tower of his castle, he opened a door before arriving in a room where there was a huge cannon.
" Here is the secret weapon of Drum's realm : the seven-shot steel cannon of Drum's royal crown. "
However, Wapol was surprised to see a huge hole in the wall right next to him.
" Hum ? "
Then, at his feet, he saw Musshuru's unconscious body. Loke had flown it this far.
" Bro ? " Wapol wondered.
Looking at the cannon, then at his brother's body, Wapol suddenly remembered that Musshuru had still not deployed his secret technique: his poison bomb. Remembering that, he immediately smiled.
" CANNIBALE! " Luffy shouted, entering the room.
However, he stopped the instant he saw Wapol's body transform as he had just eaten Musshuru along with his huge cannon. Becoming even more imposing than before, his body was the result of the fusion of the three bodies.
" That ? Amazing. "
" Mugiwara! You have before you the supreme weapon of the kingdom of Drum ! I have, inside my belly, a toxic bomb that will ravage the whole country, including you and your friends. "
" What ? Are you an idiot ? If you kill everyone, you won't be able to rule anyone anymore. "
" No matter, I would rather see this kingdom die than see it transform. " Wapol announced, pointing his arm towards the hole in the wall. " Here we go ! BAKU CANNON SPORE ! "
" As if I was going to let you do it. " Luffy roared, giving a powerful kick, in the arm of Wapol.
Immediately preventing his bomb from being ejected, Wapol roared.
" Fool ! If the bomb goes off here, we'll both die. "
" I don't care ! I have already told you ! I am a pirate! I'm not scared of anything. "
'' Stop making fun of me! BAKU BAKU SHOKU BERO CANNON ! "
Immediately opening his jaws, Wapol turned his tongue into a cannon. Then a cannonball hit Luffy.
" Right in the target ! HAHAHAHA! "
However, Wapol froze in terror, feeling Luffy girdle him from behind.
" That … ? How did you dodge? "
" I don't care if you are a king or a god! For you, it's over! GUM GUM… "
" DIE ! " Wapol roared, getting ready to fire his poison bomb.
" BOWGUN ! "
Thrown up the tower, Wapol's upper body got stuck out of the roof. With his arm raised in the air, Wapol lay unconscious. However, his cannon shot was eventually fired.
" That ? " Chopper wondered, being able to see the scene at the entrance of the castle.
" This is not true. " Doctorine frightened, seeing the ball being expelled into the sky.
" Hey ! You heard ? "
Finding himself in a cable car, allowing them to climb up the mountain, one of the villagers who accompanied Dalton and the pirates, heard the cannon shot. Then that of a cannon ball hitting them.
" What is that ? "
" Hey, there's a cannonball coming straight at us. "
" What ? "
Sticking their heads out of the cable car windows, everyone could see the cannonball fall on them.
" Wapol attacks we. "
" It must be destroyed! If it hits us, it will destroy the facility. "
" Aniki! " Johnny and Yosaku immediately shouted.
" Yosh. " Zoro said simply, pretending to get out of the cable car.
" EXPLOSING STAR. "
Usopp's shot then passed Zoro and managed to hit the cannonball. Immediately, an explosion occurs.
" HAHAHAHA ! " Giggles Usopp. " As if a vulgar cannon ball was going to frighten the great Captain Usopp. "
However, awe could be seen on Dalton's face, as he saw a strange purple cloud emerging from the smoke.
" Oh no, that's not true. "
" What's up ? " Nami asked him.
" This purple cloud ... they are toxic spores ! It's Musshuru's poison bomb! If these spores hit us, we're all dead. "
" What ? But how to stop it ? "
" We can't ! These spores fear only fire. "
" OK, no worries. " Assured Usopp. " I'm taking care of it . "
" What? "
" Yosaku! Johnny! I need you. "
" No worries, Aniki. "
" You can count on us. "
Immediately, Usopp thrust two marbles into their mouths before forcing them to swallow. And for a few moments, the faces of the two men turned red.
"Now." Usopp cried, pushing their faces out the windows before pointing them at the spore cloud.
" SPECIAL TABASCO FIRE STAR ! "
Spitting flames, Johnny and Yosaku began to scream in pain. Creating flames several meters high, the two men managed to ignite the spores and destroy them in a few moments.
Seeing this, the rest of the cable car passengers were speechless.
" HAHAHAHA! And that's what the great Usopp is capable ! Impressed, eh? "
" Motherfucker. " Yosaku and Johnny roared, starting to kick him.
" We arrive. " Someone then announced.
Indeed, arriving at the top of the mountain, the cable car ends up stopping. Immediately, Zoro and Dalton got out first before rushing towards the castle. However, they were hardly three meters before they heard.
" GOMU… "
" No, wait, I will give you a title of nobility and a medal. "
" ... GOMU NO… "
" I would name you viceroy. "
" BAZOOKA ! "
Immediately, the top of the castle tower was destroyed, while a projectile very much like Wapol eventually flew far into the sky.
" Wapol? " Dalton wondered.
" Luffy. " Zoro recognized him, seeing his captain at the top of the castle. " I see we arrived too late. "
" Lucky for our enemies. " Usopp said, arriving with the others. " Otherwise, I would have beaten them up. "
" Is it Wapol who just took off ? " Nami wondered.
" In this case, this country is saved. " Rejoices Vivi. " What a relief. "
" Oh hey ! Guys ! "
Suddenly, rushing towards the group like a cannonball, Luffy crashed into Zoro and Usopp, while screaming.
" Happy to see you again. "
" We are going to kill you, asshole. "
" Hey, kid ? " Called him Dalton. " That thing that just flew… it was… it was…? "
" Don't worry. " Luffy assured him, while putting his hat correctly on his head. " I shipped Wapol miles away. "
" Luffy. " Cried Nami. " How is Lucy ? Could she have been treated? "
" Yes ! She's in the castle with Raynare and Sanji. "
" Great. " Yosaku and Johnny rejoiced. " Hip hip hip hooray ! "
Arriving in turn, Menma ends up pointing a finger at a figure.
" Hey, there is a plush. "
" Hum ? " Dalton wondered.
At that moment he could see Chopper, badly hidden behind a tree, preferring not to be seen by the newcomers.
" You, but you are ... Hiluluk's son. "
" I… I am Tony Tony Chopper. " Announced the reindeer.
" AHHHHHHH! A talking monster. " Frightened Usopp.
" Fool! He's not a monster! He is our new companion. "
" What ? "
" Oh no. " Sorry Zoro. " Luffy got us in trouble again. "
" Hey ! " Cried Kureha. " If there are any injured among you, get them settled in the waiting room. "
" The old witch. " Menma recognized her immediately.
" You're the old person who was in the sleigh who jostled me. " Zoro roared, pointing at Kureha.
Immediately, a lump appeared on the head of Menma while Zoro received a bottle in the head, and was put on the ground.
" Bring the wounded inside. " Kureha ordered.
Then, looking around, she suddenly noticed that a few people were missing.
" What? " Nami wondered, while she was with Lucy, Sanji and Raynare. " Do you have to stay here for ten days ? "
" Unfortunately, it is. " Lucy asserted.
" We can't wait. " Nami retorted. " We must leave now to save Vivi's country. "
" But Lucy needs to rest. " Raynare retorted.
" In that case, I think I'll stay here. " Lucy decided.
" What ? " Nami wondered. " But Lucy… "
" I want to come with you, but there is no question that I will become an embarrassment, falling ill again. "
" But how do you plan to join us next? " Sanji questioned.
" This island must have log-poses or an eternal pose with a little luck. " Stated Lucy. " I would just have to take one and then join you in Alabasta. "
" No question that I leave you all alone here. " Raynare retorted. " If you stay, I'll stay with you. "
" Bad idea ! " Nami asserted. " Let's not forget who we're going to fight against in Alabasta ! Crocodile is a shishibukai ! Who knows his strength and the team he had to assemble in order to bring down an entire country! We need the full strength of the crew! Including yours, Lucy. "
" I don't care about your fight. " A voice roared behind their backs.
Spraying a wall, Doctorine found her two patients and ordered them.
" Return immediately to the infirmary. "
" What an old witch. " Zoro muttered, as he waited outside.
Making a snowman, Usopp retorted.
" It's thanks to her that Lucy is saved ! We can forgive her for hating being nicknamed "witch". "
" And soon we can go to Alabasta. " Yosaku affirmed. " Nevertheless, from what I understand, Lucy must rest a few days here! It must be monitored by a doctor to be sure to heal. "
'' Either Lucy stays here… " Johnny began. " Either a doctor must accompany us ! If so, the old witch might come with us. "
" Out of the question. " Zoro retorted. " This old witch is scary. "
At that moment, coming out of the castle, Menma came back to the quartet, while having a pale face.
" How are you, Menma ? " Usopp asked her.
" The ... The witch. " Cried Menma. " She's breaking Sanji's back. "
" Hum ? " Yosaku said. " Broken? "
" She put Sanji on a table, declaring that she wanted to put his back in place ! Nonetheless, I only heard creaks and screams from Sanji! It was awful. "
" Poor Sanji-aniki. " Said Johnny.
" Menma, are you saying that Sanji is in pain? " Zoro asked her.
" Yes ! He kept screaming in pain. "
Suddenly, a smile spread across Zoro's face, as he pretended to be sorry for Sanji.
" Yes, indeed ! Poor Sanji. "
" You are really sadistic. "
" Finished. " Kureha announced, as she stepped out of the operating room. " I was able to put the blonde's spine back in place! Hell, that wouldn't have happened if he hadn't put himself in such a state! This is what happens when we play fools. "
Instantly she saw many frightened faces as the men in the room surrounded Dalton's bed. Across the room, Nami, Vivi, and Raynare were circling Lucy's bed.
" Good, now to us. " Kureha cried, approaching Dalton. " Dalton, where is the key to the castle armory? "
" The key to the armory? What do you want to do with it? "
" That's none of your business, my little guy. " Kureha retorted. " Just tell me where is this key. "
" You will not be able to find it. " Dalton announced. " Unfortunately, it was Wapol who always carried this key with him ! So she was thrown into the air with him. "
" What ? Are you sure ? Damn, this is unfortunate. "
" A key ? " Raynare wondered.
Then rummaging in her pockets, she looked at the object she had found after hitting Wapol.
" Don't tell me … ? "
Seeing the object she was holding in her hand, Nami quickly understood from the fallen angel that Raynare was holding the object Doctorine wanted. Immediately, a mischievous smile appeared on the redhead's face as she grabbed the key.
" Doctor Kureha. " Said Nami walking towards the old lady. " How about taking care of our crew… for free? "
" Uh ? "
"And then, could you free Lucy and Sanji right now ?"
Simply chuckling, Kureha gave a simple "no" to her head, before asserting.
" You already know the answer, my little one ! Anyway, what do you think you can offer me to make me agree to your terms ? Your friends' care fees represent all of the provisions on your boat ! And as for the blonde, she will stay in my care until she heals. "
" Nami, she's right. " Stated Lucy, preferring to stop fighting about it. " Raynare and I have agreed to stay here ! We will then join you with an eternal pose. "
" A minute. " Cried Nami. " If a doctor accompanies us, will you accept ? "
" What ? " Kureha wondered.
" I heard Chopper's story, his skills, and the fact that Luffy wants to recruit him ! If this little doctor comes with us, Lucy won't have anything to worry about, right? "
" Tsss! And why would I let you go, while kidnapping my assistant ? " Kureha asked.
'' What if I give you this in exchange? " Nami questioned, showing the key to the armory.
" That ? The key ? " Wondered Wapol. " Where did you get it ? "
" A crow stole it for me. " Giggles Nami. " So can we come to an agreement? "
" Grrr! Dirty little plague. " Kureha muttered.
Then grabbing the key, she asserted.
" Good, I'm going to put aside the price of my fees ! But that will be all. "
" What ? "
" I can't accede to your second request, being a doctor. "
" A moment ! I refuse to give you the key in this case. "
" Too late ! And now listen to me carefully ! I'm going to have to be away for a while because I have to do ! There are coats inside a chest of drawers at the back of the bedroom ! And there is no surveillance outside ! Plus, I've finished taking care of the blonde's back ! But, I warn you, I strongly forbid you to leave this room! Understood ? "
Then, looking at the villagers, she ordered.
" You others, come with me, I'm going to need you. "
" Uh, yes. "
Immediately, Nami and the others saw Doctorine leave with the men in the room, except Dalton. Once the doctor left, Raynare cocked her head to the side while asking.
" Is it me or she lets us go? "
" I understood exactly the same thing. " Nami asserted, with a big smile.
" It's because she knows that I still risk staying here. " Lucy asserted.
" What do you mean ?"
"The hardest part is not going to be to leave here. " Explained Lucy. " The hard part is going to be convincing Chopper to come with us ! And if he refuses, I'll have to stay here, too. "
" How is it going to be hard? " Raynare questioned, dragging Sanji's body.
Looking out the window to see Luffy looking for Chopper, the fallen angel asserted.
" Whatever he does, Luffy has this weird gift of bringing people together. "
" CHOPPER ! CHOPPER! " Luffy shouted.
" Luffy, let it go. " Usopp advised him, while making a snowman. " He doesn't want to be a pirate. "
" He must surely prefer to live here, he is a reindeer after all. " Yosaku adds.
" There is no point in forcing him. " Finished Zoro.
" You are wrong. " Luffy retorted. " He will become a pirate, because I have decided . "
" It's not at you to decide for him. " The others shouted.
" Me, I want him to come. " Menma affirmed. " He is cute ! Looks like a plush. "
" The fact that we want him or not is not the question. " Zoro retorted. " It is above all for him to decide if he wants to come. "
" Me, I want to come with you. " Affirmed the child.
" The crew, no. " Zoro retorted, causing the child to sulk.
Then seeing her sulk in a corner, Zoro finally sighed, before asserting.
" Good work. "
" Uh ? "
" Earlier, you used your courage to join the fight ! I'll be honest with you, I could have dodged Miss Valentine's attack without your help. "
" Really ? " Menma wondered, somewhat annoyed.
" The fact remains that you have shown yourself more courageous than I would have thought. " Zoro admitted. " In fact, for a second, you looked like a real pirate. "
Immediately, Menma's gaze lit up with happiness, happy to be congratulated by Zoro.
However, giving her a little knock on the head, the man retorted.
" Don't get excited ! To shoot a weapon once is nothing ! If you want to become a fighter, you will have to gain experience, by fighting ! No one will give you a present in a fight, and many will seek to kill you. "
Staring at Menma, the swordsman cried out.
" You want to risk your life fighting in Alabasta ? It's your right ! But I warn you in advance, I will observe your behavior ! And it's only at the end of our fight that I will tell you whether or not I will accept you in the team. "
" After our fight ...? So, do you think we're gonna win? "
" A warrior should never doubt his victory. " Zoro retorted. " Even against someone more powerful than him ! The victory will only be acquired by the person who will strive the most to obtain it! Just like your dream. "
Nodding, Menma suddenly cried out.
" Also, I managed to remember something. "
" Hum ? "
'' Earlier, I had lost consciousness, and in my mind, I saw five children! I don't know why, but their faces were familiar to me. "
Smiling with conviction, she cried out.
" I'm sure we were friends. "
" Good news. "
" Hey, come help us. " Nami exclaimed, leaving the castle, while pulling Sanji with Raynare.
" Oh, the poor cook had sore ? " Zoro snickered, seeing the blond still unconscious.
"Are we leaving, Luffy-aniki ?" Johnny asked him.
" No question of leaving without Chopper. " Luffy retorted, pretending to call him again.
However, hearing footsteps, the pirate turned and smirked, catching sight of Chopper.
" Reindeer ! You came ? I knew you wanted to become a pirate. "
" I can't. " Chopper retorted, lowering his gaze.
" What ? Of course yes ! You will see that pirate life is fun. "
" Where did you see that it was fun ? " Zoro roared.
" I can't come because I'm a reindeer with a blue nose. " Roared Chopper. " Look at me ! I have antlers and hooves… and I speak ! I am a monster ! My place is not among humans. "
Listening to her, Raynare looked melancholy, as she had often thought the same thing because of her black wings. Chopper and she had characteristics that made them repulsive.
" If I came back, it's just to say goodbye. " Continued Chopper. " And to thank you for your proposal ! It makes me happy to know that you consider me your friend ! So if you come back here I would be happy to… "
" SHUT UP. " Luffy roared, raising his arms in the air. " And come back. "
Immediately, Chopper froze, before feeling tears forming in his eyes. For their part, Luffy's friends just simply smiled, knowing that Luffy had won.
" Fool. " Said Zoro. " Is it by telling him "Shut up" that you intend to make him come with us ? "
" Let him do it. " Raynare retorted. " Sometimes you have to be rough with someone who thinks of themselves as 'a monster'. "
And indeed, finally starting to sob, Chopper ends up screaming, like a great pirate.
" Good, let's recap. " Starting Nami, while the crew was outside. " Lucy is healed, we have an Eternal Pose in the direction of Alabasta, we have recruited a doctor…! I think everything is good this time to head straight to Alabasta ! Are you okay, Vivi? "
" Of course ! As long as Lucy feels good. "
" I'm fine. " Assured the blonde. " Plus, if Chopper comes with us, I have nothing to fear. "
" Why ? " Wanted to know Luffy. " And who is the doctor who comes with us? "
" Let it go, idiot. " Nami advised him.
" Sister-Nami, the cable car is ready." Yosaku announced, arriving with Johnny.
" We can go down the mountain now. "
" Perfect ! In this case, we just have to wait for Chopper and we join Gin and the others on the Merry. "
" Hey, he is here. " Zoro announced, seeing Chopper arriving while pulling a sled.
However, the man got scared when he saw Kureha chasing Chopper, while holding a huge ax in her hand.
" Come back, Chopper ! I won't let you go. "
" The witch ? "
" What is she doing with this weapon? " Usopp frightened.
" She is scary. " Menma cried.
" Everyone, go up. " Suddenly ordered Chopper, stopping in front of them.
" But chopper… " Lucy began.
" Quick. " Ordered the reindeer.
Seeing the old woman throwing several spears at them, the crew wasted no time getting in or gripping the sled, before Chopper started running straight for the chairlift.
Then, jumping over it, he ran on the wire allowing the machine to go down the mountain. Able to maintain his balance, Chopper, along with the sled, gave the impression to those who could see them that they were flying through the air.
" So awesome. " Luffy cried.
" We fly. " Menma shouted.
" AHHHHH, don't look down. " Usopp frightened.
Then, jumping again, Chopper put his hooves to the ground and ran through the forest to the sea. At that moment, waking up grimacing, Sanji wanted to know.
" Where am I ? "
" Hum ? Still alive ? " Zoro asked him.
Finally, a few minutes later, the sled stopped when Vogue Merry came into view. However, no sooner had Nami left the sled than she froze, seeing a number of destroyed boats all around Vogue Merry.
" But what ... What happened here ? "
" Oh, guys. " Luffy shouted, running to their boat. " You are there ? "
" Hum ? " Gin said then, while he was wrapped in a blanket. " You are finally here ! It's not too soon. "
" What happened here ? " Wanted to know Usopp. " The Merry is okay ? "
" Thank you for worrying about us, asshole. " Neni roared, appearing to rewind the boat, while his face covered in bandages.
" Don't worry. " Bruno assured. " The boat is nickel ! We just made sure to get rid of a few pests ! So, have you found a doctor ? "
" Better than that. " Nami asserted. " We bring one back. "
" What ? " Gin wondered, watching his friends climb the rope ladder.
Suddenly his gaze fell on Chopper. Examining him for a few seconds, Gin gripped, before yelling.
" Cool, a huge steak. Sanji, I'll cook the stove and you take care of the rest. "
" What ? " Chopper wondered.
However, Gin was immediately struck by Nami who cried out.
" Hands off ! Chopper is the newest member of our crew. "
" What? " Gin wondered, with a bump on his head. " Did you recruit this raccoon? Hey, wasn't having a stupid fallen Angel on our crew enough ? "
This time it was Raynare who hit him against the floor of the boat. For her part, eventually climbing in her turn, Vivi discovered with fear Carue, completely frozen.
" Carue ? What happened ? "
" Uh, let's say it wanted to make it useful, but it finally slipped to fall into the water. " Bruno explained to her. " It took a while before we could fish it out. "
" Hahaha, what a bastard this duck. " Giggles Zoro.
Nonetheless, a baseball bat hit him on the back of the head.
" Motherfucker. " Roared Neni. " How did you get away with such an important fight ? We almost died. "
'' Do you want to fight, asshole? "
Preferring to ignore them, Chopper seemed to be focusing on noises Carue made, before declaring.
" He said that there was a great battle here and that he wanted to show everyone his courage. "
'' Do you understand animals, Tony-kun ? " Vivi wondered.
" Impressive. " Cried Lucy. " Not only are you a doctor but, in addition, you have this incredible power. "
" Doctor ? " Luffy repeated.
Suddenly screaming, pointing at Chopper, he said.
"Is he the new doctor?"
" Dumbass ! " Raynare insulted him, slapping his forehead.
" Why did you want him to come with us, then? " Usopp asked him.
" His transformations are super cool. "
" That's all ? "
" Wait, is this animal the new doctor? " Wanted to know Gin.
" It's Chopper. " Luffy assured, with a big smile.
" Everyone, we're leaving. " Nami announced. " Raise the anchor and lower the sails. "
Immediately starting to activate, the men of the crew complied and in a few minutes the boat left the port and went away. The only one who stood still was Chopper, who, in the back of the boat, just stared at his island, almost reluctantly.
" Doctorine ! Doctor! " He whispered.
Finally, looking down, he decided that it was so much for him to become a man. As a result, he ends up turning around before taking a step towards the rest of the crew. Yet he froze as soon as he heard a cannon shot.
" What ? " He wondered.
" What is that ? " Usopp frightened, as multitudes of detonations were heard.
" We are being shot. " Yosaku shouted.
" What have you done on this island ? " Wanted to know Neni.
Remaining calm, Bruno could see the cannonballs. Yet, to his surprise, he rushed straight into the sky.
" Huh ? Who is aiming like that ? "
Then, suddenly, the balls exploded and a strange phenomenon could be seen.
" That ? " Lucy wondered.
" Waouh ! Unbelievable ! " Luffy marveled.
" It is so beautiful. " Menma said.
"Magnificent. " Simply said Nami. " Don't you think so, Chopper ? "
Remaining frozen, the reindeer could not say anything. He did nothing but stare at the huge cherry tree that could now be seen in the distance. This miracle was the result of the hard work of Doctor Hiluluk
During the last months of his life. He succeeded in ensuring that cherry trees could be seen on this snowy island.
"Chopper, know that nothing is impossible for a man waving the pirate flag. "
Thinking about that phrase Hiluluk had often said to him, Chopper suddenly felt tears run down his cheeks before he started to cry.
" Doctor ! Doctorine ! "
" Go ahead, my stupid son ! " Kureha simply murmured, while still being able to glimpse the Vogue Merry part.
" My adventure…" Chopper began, still looking at his island in the distance. "It starts now. "
Wanting to stay alone at first, the reindeer ends up being drawn to the laughter of the other crew members, while Luffy clowns.
" Hahaha! He never stops. "
" No matter how many times I see him, he always makes me laugh so much. "
" Please, Luffy! Stop! My ribs hurt. "
" Hey Chopper, join us. "
" Uh ? " Said the reindeer.
" Come for a bite to eat. " Usopp suggested.
" No, if you want to become a man, come and drink sake. " Zoro cried.
" There is also rum. " Gin assured.
" Nothing better than to party by looking at this magnificent cherry tree. " Yosaku said.
" Trink, my friend. " Johnny shouted, with a glass in his hand.
" Health. " Sanji, Neni and Menma shouted.
Seeing them partying, Chopper preferred to slip away again. Still, he stopped when Nami found herself in front of him.
" Congratulations, Chopper ! You just became the companion of a bunch of merry idiots. "
"How ? " Suddenly questioned Chopper.
" Hum ? "
" How can they accept me so easily ? Am I not a monster in their eyes? "
" Of course not. " Lucy retorted. " You are the person who took care of me. "
" Lucy-chan. " Sanji then shouted. " The horrible man that I am didn't even take care of your health ! Are you hungry ? Do you want me to cook for you? "
" I'm fine, Sanji. " Assured the blonde. " In fact, I'm sure each of you has worried enough about me ! Thank you for all ! "
" Tsss. " Gin retorted, finishing his drink. " No need to thank us all ! Raynare did everything to make sure you see a doctor ! She even threatened to kill us. "
" What ? " Lucy wondered.
Suddenly Raynare walked past her, preferring not to say anything.
" Ray-chan? "
Finally stopping, to face Luffy and the others, the fallen angel suddenly bowed before screaming.
" Captain ! You all ! Sorry. "
" Hum? " Everyone wondered, turning to look at her.
" I'm sorry for everything I could tell you. " Raynare announced. " I deeply regret it! It was out of anger and I swear it will never happen again! So please forgive me. "
Looking at her, surprised, everyone stood still. Then, finally, many laughed at Raynare's behavior.
" Hahaha! Raynare who apologizes. " Giggles Zoro. " I never thought I would see this one day. "
" You are really cute when you apologize, Raynare. " Nami teased her.
" Grrr. " Said the fallen angel, blushing with embarrassment. " Shut up. "
" What ... What happened? " Wanted to know Lucy.
" Raynare told us all about your past. " Suddenly Gin told her.
" Yeah, it seems that your powers are like those of Bruno-aniki. " Johnny remarked.
'' Are you a real magician, Lucy Onee-san? " Menma asked him.
" Huh ... I ... I ... "
Finally, Lucy wanted to know.
" What did you decide? "
" What do you mean ? "
" Raynare and I are not from this world and our powers are innate ! So… don't you be afraid to continue being with us? "
" Tsss. " Said Zoro, while continuing to drink. " How that would frighten me more than usual ! Whether your powers are innate or derived from devil fruit, there is no difference to me ! And it doesn't matter whether you're from another world or not, Luffy has decided to take you on the crew, and everyone respects their choice. "
" I completely agree. " Sanji asserted, performing his love dance. " Lucy-chan ! Raynare-sama ! I cannot continue this journey without having the chance to be with you. "
" We know Bruno's powers and his past. " Nami remarked. " And yet, he is on this boat, even if he is not part of the crew ! Lucy, like Raynare, you are our friend. "
" Yes, you are our sisters. " Johnny and Yosaku announced.
" How could I push you away, while you help me save my country, when you are not even from this world? " Vivi asked. " Thank you again for your help. "
" As long as the fallen angel no longer tries to kill us, everything is fine with me. " Neni assured.
" WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ? " Cried Chopper. " Are you from another world? And you were born with your powers! How ? What ? Are you superheroes? "
" No, I work as a mage in a guild called Fairy Tail. " Lucy taught him. " Our job is to take on missions to help people. "
" And me ... I was a kind of spy for my group : clan gremory. " Raynare said simply, preferring not to reveal her past in detail.
" God exists for real? " Wanted to know Usopp.
" Tell us about Fairy Tail, Lucy ? " Cried Nami. " How does magic work? "
" Are there any pretty girls in Fairy Tail? " Wanted to know Sanji, with hearts instead of eyes.
" What was Gremory's goal ? "
Seeing the two girls being bombarded with questions then, Luffy cried out.
" Hey, guys ! I said we were celebrating! So, let's have fun and take care of those details later! Sanji, to eat. "
" You call that " details ", you ? "
However, Luffy's zest for life infected everyone, as everyone finally had a mug in their hands.
" I officially welcome Chopper to the crew ! Everyone, health. "
" Health. " Shouted the crew.
But it wasn't just them.
" Health. "
Turning around, they were surprised to see Lucy's spirits being on the boat.
" That … ? " Wondered the blonde. " What are you doing here ? "
" We're coming to celebrate your recovery. " Capricorn assured.
" As a soldier, we must celebrate each of our victories. " Sagittairus said, standing at attention.
'' Sorry… sorry for coming, Lucy-san. " Apologized Aries. " We just wanted to know how you are. "
" Great. " Luffy shouted. " It's a party. "
" Yeah. " Everyone shouted.
Looking at them, Chopper stood still. Then suddenly he saw Luffy hold out his glasses to him, before yelling.
" Toast, Chopper. "
Finally, deciding to smile in turn, Chopper jumped towards him, before banging his mug against Luffy's.
Eventually isolating himself a bit, Bruno drank a glass of wine, while just watching the rest of the crew having fun with Lucy's spirits. Their company didn't bother him, but he knew one thing. If he continued to befriend them, he would have a hard time saying 'goodbye' to them.
" I see that you still intend to leave? "
" Hum? " Bruno asked, while Gin settled down next to him.
" That is not much use. " Gin explained. " For now, Luffy is leaving you alone! However, you will see that at Alabasta, he will make sure you join the crew. "
" I don't see why he would force me so much! I don't have much out of the ordinary. "
" For Luffy, it's not a question of being extraordinary, that counts. " Gin retorted, thinking about his fight at Baratie. " As long as he becomes his friend, Luffy will be ready to accept anyone to be his crew! Take the example of Menma! And then, I am convinced that deep down, the idea of accompanying us does not really bother you. "
Simply drinking what was left of his glass, Bruno retorted.
" That's not the question! I don't want the demons from my past to resurface! Why does he not respect that? "
Just shrugging, Gin retorted.
" That's my opinion but ... sometimes, it's better to forget about your past, and start from scratch, rather than moping like you do. "
" I don't want to forget my friends. "
" Luffy don't ask you to forget them! Luffy asks you to keep on living! That's all ! "
With these words, he left Bruno. Seeing him leave, the man retorted.
" I would not become a pirate. "
However, hearing laughter, he had the misfortune to watch his companions partying. So he saw Zoro doing a drinking contest with Taurus and Sagittarius… Usopp was singing with Lyra… Sanji was performing his love dance around Aries, before getting hit by Loke… Virgo grabbed Raynare's arm, while rubbing against her… Nami argued with Cancer about wanting to be cut… Johnny and Yosaku went into ecstasies in front of Gemini who began to change shape several times… Plue being strangled by Menma who hugged it in her arm… and Capricorn offered to help Vivi, giving her some medicine for Carue.
Seeing them thus, Bruno could not help but think back to the old group he formed with his companions. Finally, without realizing it, he smiled.
" Stupid lion. " Sanji roared, while he was in the kitchens.
Having been punched in the cheek by Loke, going that he was only 'chatting' with Aries, he now had a bruise on his cheek.
" The stupid lion, he hears you. "
Turning around, Sanji groaned when he saw Loke sitting in a chair.
" You? What do you want from me? "
Simply smiling, Loke was silent, which angered Sanji further, preparing to punch him. However, the cook was surprised to see the spirit throw an object at him.
" Catch. "
" Hum? " Sanji wondered, grabbing the object.
He immediately hid his surprise badly, recognizing his lighter.
" You did your best to save us. " Just learns the spirit.
Staring at his lighter, Sanji finally takes a cigarette before lighting it. Then, turning back to his kitchen counter, he prepared a plate which tossed in front of Loke.
" Well, eat! You, too, did your best to protect Lucy-chan. "
" Is this a request for peace? "
" Hey, not so fast ! We learn to support each other and then we'll see. "
" Hey Mugiwara. "
" Hum? " Luffy wondered, turning around.
Standing behind the pirate, Aquarius was present.
" You? " Luffy said simply, in a tone betraying some irritation.
'' From what I see, you're pretty angry with me. "
" Of course, you dared to say that ... "
" Thank you, Mugiwara! Thanks for saving Lucy! "
Shutting up, Luffy saw Aquarius smile at him, before disappearing.
" What ? "
