[One Piece] Exquisite alone

Afterwards, the legendary cherry blossoms of Shiruluke, announcing the freedom of this unknown small country, danced in the night sky.

Even if they left Magnetic Drum Island and set sail on the Merry, the huge cherry blossom tree still made the Straw Hats at sea feel unbelievable, and they still couldn't stop their admiration.

Pink snowflakes fall from the sky to the sea, and the clear sea reflects the bright moon in the sky. Everything is as beautiful as a painting.

It's just that the quietness of Chopper at the stern who didn't say a word made people a little worried, "What should I do? Is that guy Chopper okay?" Usopp couldn't help it first.

Nami sighed helplessly, they couldn't help in this situation, "Let him be quiet now."

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette, "He's experiencing what it's like for a man to go on a journey now."

"After all, he is leaving now, the island he hasn't left since he was born."

I'm leaving, doctor, Mrs. Guleva.It's finally time to start... my adventure, I will surely realize my dream and find the panacea.

The sadness of parting will always pass, under the bright moonlight, amidst the flying snowflakes, the welcome party of the Straw Hats is only now beginning.

"Ahahaha!" Usopp was out of breath laughing, and kept clapping his hands until his palms turned red.

Luffy gave full play to the characteristics of his rubber man, inserted one end of the chopsticks into the nostril, fixed the other end with the lower lip, and twisted his body to make fun of it.

"The moon is out, and the cherry blossoms are in bloom!" Zoro drank happily.

"Chopper! How long will you be in a daze, Chopper!" Usopp turned his head and yelled twice, grabbed him and gestured to see the delicious food in front of him: "Drink! Come here to drink!!"

...?

Sanji also embraced Chopper's small body, "Come here and sing together!"

...? ?

"Come on! Try sticking chopsticks into your nose too!" Luffy handed out a pair of chopsticks.

...? ? ?

"Ah! What a beautiful night cherry! It's a pity not to have a banquet at this time! I didn't expect to see it on this kind of snow island..." Sanji held up the glass and let Sauron pour him wine. It was the first time the two got along so harmoniously.

"Ah, there are so many things you didn't expect, don't think about it, drink quickly!" Sauron continued to fill his glass.

After finally waiting for the group of bastards in front of him to forget himself, Chopper quietly left here in fear, did he get on the wrong boat! ?

"Did it scare you?" Nami saw that Chopper was trembling with fear, and said with emotion, "You have also become the companion of this group of crazy guys."

Chopper, who was clearly out of gregarious: "... Companion."

"That's right, although they are guys with no common sense." Speaking of this gave me a headache, so I quickly changed the subject, "But we will all be companions in the future, so you must get used to it!"

"That's right, Chopper!" Xia Lan couldn't restrain the surge in her heart, "My companion is the most trustworthy person..."

So don't be careless and show me how cute it is!

Chopper moved his blue nose thoughtfully, as if he had a plan of his own.

"Wait a minute!!" Nami turned around and shouted to the four overjoyed people, everyone was looking at her instructions.

Luffy turned his head, with chopsticks still stuck in his nostrils, proudly showing off his unique skills, "Nami, look what I learned from Joseph."

What kind of unreliable things did you learn from those two people? Nami was helpless and angry, pointing at the duck beside Weiwei, "You guys should also care about Karu a little bit!!"

Luffy looked over and saw that Weiwei was worrying about holding the shaking duck. He tilted his head strangely, not understanding what Nami wanted to say, "What's wrong? As long as you're still alive, it's fine."

Xia Lan felt a little guilty, although she didn't let Karu run into the river, she didn't think too much about rescuing Karu, "Sorry, Wei Wei, I thought the solar energy would blow the ice away, but I didn't expect us to sail so late. Karoo was frozen again at night..."

"It's okay, I still want to thank you for pulling Karu out of the river, otherwise he will definitely get sick if he freezes in the river for a day!" Weiwei shook her head and thanked sincerely, and then she wanted to cry without tears, "However, How did Karoo freeze in the river?"

Xia Lan replied seriously, "I don't know about that. When I got on the boat, I saw Karu frozen into ice in the river. I rescued him without thinking too much. I don't know why."

Sauron tilted his head and raised his full wine glass to laugh at the words, "Did it slip down by accident? You clumsy fellow, hahaha!"

"quack--"

"Shut up, Mr. Bushido." Weiwei stopped Sauron weakly, and patted the duck in her arms comfortingly.

Xia Lan: "Is it because Sauron left the ship, or else we could have rescued Karu earlier, so where did you go then?"

Sauron: "...I'll go for a winter swim, and I'll meet Usopp and Weiwei while I'm swimming."

Winter swimming?The kind of freezing weather?Could it be that they hurt their nerves when they didn't know?Why don't you let Chopper show him his head later.

Xia Lan glanced at Zoro hesitantly, then looked back at Chopper, only to find that Chopper had already turned around.

Chopper listened to Kalu's non-stop squawking, and nodded from time to time, "He said it was because a man named Sauron was swimming in the river, and he disappeared after swimming. He was worried that something would happen, so he jumped in and was frozen. gone."

This faint sentence made Nami explode on the spot, and Ai's iron fist hit Sauron's green head without hesitation.

"So it's all your fault!!"

Weiwei was also a little angry, and then she reacted and asked in surprise, "Mr. Tony, can you understand what Kalu said?"

Chopper straightened his pink hat, and replied without reservation, "Because I am an animal, and animals can understand each other."

Nami's eyes lit up, is there such a benefit?

"That's great, Chopper! I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in medical skills, but also communicate with animals!"

"..." Chopper seemed to be frozen, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He danced his arms, twisted his body and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Silly fool, I won't be happy if you praise me like that! !Fool!!"

……

Obviously very happy...

Everyone looked at his series of actions with different intentions and thought in unison.

etc--

Sanji: "Miss Nami, what do you mean by proficient in medical skills?"

Xia Lan added, "Chopper is a doctor, a first-class doctor who has inherited all the medical skills of Dr. Gulewa's doctor!"

There was a moment of silence, except for Chopper who was still wriggling his little body happily, the others were so shocked that they had nothing to say.

"What? Chopper, you are a doctor!!?"

"awesome!"

"is that a lie!"

"I can't stand you guys." Nami grabbed Chopper and asked helplessly, "Then why did you invite Chopper to join the gang?"

Luffy said with a serious face: "Because he is an interesting reindeer who can transform into seven stages."

Sanji stared seriously: "Because he can be used as food in extraordinary times."

"..." Chopper was so frightened that he trembled, "Ms. Gulewa, I really want to go back!"

Before thinking about what to do in the future, Chopper exclaimed, "Oops, because I ran out in a hurry and forgot to bring my medical equipment!"

"It's a lie, then what is it?" Nami raised the small schoolbag in her hand, looking at the size, doesn't it fit Chopper's small body?

Chopper: "My backpack..."

"This is in the sled."

Chopper: "...why?"

"Why, why, didn't you pack the luggage yourself?" Nami was amused and confused.

A figure of a person suddenly appeared in Chopper's mind, the person who often disliked him for being clumsy, but patiently taught him medical skills.

Gu Leiwa...the doctor's wife.

Unable to hold back the tears rising from his sore nose, Chopper turned back to look at the cherry blossom trees on the sea level with hazy eyes, wondering if there was a figure of Guleiwa's doctor under the cherry blossoms.

"In the end, your thoughts have been seen through long ago, you are such a good person." Nami sighed empathetically.

It is because of her stubbornness that she does not want to experience the reluctant parting, and it is because of love that she forgets to let go of her child, because he has a wider sky.

"En." Qiaoba replied pitifully, holding back the tears that swirled in his eyes.

"Hey! Chopper, come too!" A fool who didn't know how to read the atmosphere came over and greeted.

"Really, it's hard for someone to immerse themselves in good memories. Isn't that right, Chopper." Nami stood up in a tone of laughter at the constant laughter from the side.

"Chopper?" No response was heard, Nami looked down, and Chopper seriously poked her nose with two chopsticks that came from nowhere, and she didn't want him to blend in, "Don't really do it!!"

Xia Lan looked at Zoro and Sanji who fought again because of the appetizers at some point... Forget it, don't worry about them, the fight will be over.

Wei Wei and Karu who choked on food, no one is fighting for food with a duck, right? ...Sorry, I forgot that there is also a Luffy who likes to grab food.

Nami and Chopper, who are wronged and nestled in the corner, even if I have two chopsticks stuck in my nose, I will not dislike you, Chopper...

"Okay, brothers, look at me!" Usopp stood up in the chaos, "I'm here to introduce our new companion - Tony Tony Chopper! To celebrate the boarding of our ship doctor Chopper ..."

In the background sound of "Sanji, where's the meat!?" and Usopp's nagging topic host, Chopper's small and clear voice sounded.

"I, I..." Chopper looked left and right, even if no one paid attention to whether he stuck his chopsticks into his nose, he couldn't help the joy in his heart, he raised his hooves and laughed, tears came out: "It's the first time I feel So happy!"

Those who heard the small voice smiled knowingly, and there were gentle smiles on their faces.

……

"Here's to our new companion!"

"cheers!!"

A group of people raised their wine glasses together. The alcohol content was not high, even Xia Lan, who had never drunk alcohol, could drink it.

The pirate flag is fluttering against the sea breeze, the full moon is high and the night is still deep, and the party of the Straw Hats has just begun.
