The Fruit of the Pirate

Dr. Kuleha touched Chopper's little head and glanced sideways at Luffy and Sanji: "What did you do to Chopper?"

Luffy and Sanji looked at each other and spread their hands innocently: "We didn't do anything. We had a lot of fun."

No wonder!

Chopper showed his little head and shook his head wildly, especially glaring at Luffy.

He just heard the man in the straw hat shouting "start a fire". Although he didn't know what they were doing to start a fire, he knew it was not a good thing!

"I'm going to see if the patient is awake!"

Chopper hurriedly dropped a word and disappeared from the room.

Sanji touched his chin: "I always feel like he's been avoiding us."

Luffy's expression was full of disappointment: "How come... I still want him to be my partner."

Three black lines were drawn on Mosso's forehead.

The sheer energy you two possess would scare anyone away!

Um...Chopper doesn't seem to be human.

That's fine.

Thinking of this, Mosso looked at Dr. Kureha again. He was worried that Dr. Kureha would be angry. After all, Chopper, whom she regarded as her "son", was bullied by Luffy and Sanji.

But Dr. Kuleha was not only not angry, but instead had a smile on his lips and murmured while looking at the crackling fire.

"Partner..."

Dr. Kuleha turned to look at Mosso and raised his silver eyebrows: "Kids, do you want to hear a story?"

Luffy muttered: "We have to check on Nami first, and then..."

"A story about pirates."

Snapped!

Luffy moved a small stool and walked straight in front of Dr. Kuleha.

I don’t know where he moved.

Mosso also nodded, leaning on the square table beside him: "I'm all ears."

Dr. Kuleha picked up the plum wine on the side and took a sip, then spoke slowly.

"This island used to be a beautiful kingdom, but this beautiful kingdom was ruled by a stupid and foolish bastard. Tyranny and oppression made the citizens numb and lose faith, and the country also lost hope."

"Especially because all the doctors were expelled by the king, leaving only 20 doctors who were imprisoned by the king. All the resources of the country that was once a medical power were controlled by the king. If you want to treat diseases, you must strictly obey the king's rules and regulations. .”

Luffy blinked and listened carefully, while Mosso's index finger was looking at the keyboard.

As Sanji listened to Dr. Kuleha's story, he habitually took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, held it in his mouth and lit it.

But Dr. Kuleha only glanced at him faintly, and Sanji silently stuffed the cigarette back into his trouser pocket.

Dr. Culeha continued to narrate: "In the elk herd in the west of this kingdom, a calf was born, but it did not receive the care of the race because it had a blue nose that was incompatible with the race. His mother doesn’t even want to look at him, and he is racially ostracized everywhere.”

Luffy raised his hand in confusion and said, "Why do blue noses have to be ostracized? Those elk obviously look the same."

Mosso said calmly: "It's like among a group of meats smeared with teriyaki sauce, there is suddenly one more meat smeared with blueberry sauce."

"Oh~" Luffy understood immediately.

Sanji and Dr. Kureha were confused when they heard this, and they couldn't figure out what the connection between Mosso's metaphor and Blue Nose's rejection was.

Dr. Kuleha glanced at Mosso strangely, and then continued: "Later, the elk accidentally ate the Human Fruit in the Devil Fruit and turned into a half-human and half-deer monster. Therefore, it directly The entire herd was expelled."

"This expelled elk wandered alone in the snowfield. It longed for a companion, so it tried to join humans in human form and sincerely, but was hunted by humans as a snowman monster with guns."

"It was wandering in the snowy field with scars. Neither the elk nor humans accepted it. The whole world abandoned it, but it didn't understand what it had done wrong."

crackling~

The bonfire was burning in the fireplace, making the whole room become quieter and quieter, except for Dr. Culeha's deep voice.

"At this moment, a quack doctor who had also just been expelled from humans found it licking its wounds in the snowfield, and treated it with sincerity with his life."

"Quack doctor?" Luffy's big eyes were full of confusion.

"Hey, a doctor who never charges money goes to the patient's home to treat him." Dr. Kureha curled his lips.

"Isn't that great?" Sanji blinked.

Dr. Kuleha said calmly: "But that quack doctor doesn't have any medical skills. A patient with a forearm abrasion received his treatment before, and he ended up paralyzed in bed for half a year without getting up."

Sanji opened his mouth but kept silent.

Shiruluk.

Mosso recited the name of this quack doctor silently in his heart.

If there was one person in One Piece who impressed Mosuo the most and moved Mosuo the most, then this quack doctor should be the one to do it.

"Then what." Luffy asked.

"Then the little elk received treatment from that quack doctor. He was also abandoned by his own race, and they lived together for half a year. The quack doctor named the little elk Tony Tony Chopper, and the two spent their time together. Many happy times.”

"But that quack doctor has long been seriously ill, and he has a fool-like delusion that he wants to cure the country's disease. But he has been busy for 30 years, and the country still has no hope as always. After all, he has no medical skills at all. Yes, if you can’t even cure people, how can you cure a country?”

"And can the country's diseases be cured by humans?"

"But Chopper hoped to fulfill the dream of a quack doctor. He didn't understand medical books, so he flipped through the medical books and found an amii mushroom marked with a skull icon that the doctor once called hope. It said that amii was called hope. It’s a panacea.”

"So Chopper crossed the snow-capped mountains alone, snatched the amigo mushroom from the besieging deer, and brought it to the quack doctor. But what he didn't know was that the skull was not a symbol of hope, and neither was the amigo mushroom. Not a panacea, but a highly poisonous mushroom."

Sanji was attracted by the story and couldn't help but interrupt: "Did that quack doctor eat it?"

Dr. Kuleha was silent for a while, then nodded, picked up the plum wine and took a sip.

"Thanks to that quack doctor, although he has been a useless person who has done nothing all his life, he did a pretty good thing and kept a kind heart."

After saying that, Dr. Culeha was silent again and shook the plum wine bottle.

"What happened next," Mosso looked at Dr. Culeha, "What happened to that quack doctor?"

"Later," Dr. Culeha chuckled with unknown meaning, "later he heard that 20 doctors were sick, and they were the only doctors left in the country. If they all fell sick, the country's citizens would be sick. He could only wait for death, so he ran to the palace and wanted to treat the doctor20."

"But that was all a trap set by that bastard king, just to hunt down that quack doctor. But when the quack doctor who took the amigo mushroom heard that the doctor 20 was not sick, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed and said it was fine."

"It is said that his last words before his death were, 'My life has been really good.' Oh, that quack doctor..."

Mosso interrupted Dr. Kureha, leaned back straight, shook his head and said calmly: "He is not a quack doctor. Although he cannot heal the body, he can heal the soul. He is a great doctor."
