Pirates: The Steady and Responsible Person in the Straw Hats

After Yuri and the others continued to walk up the stairs for a while, they met the witch "Kureha" who was attracted by the noise caused by Luffy and Chopper.

The atmosphere was tense when the two parties met. Yuri originally thought that Kuleha would be furious because of Luffy's recklessness.

However, when the witch saw the dying Nami, she just laughed strangely and took the relieved group to the medical room for treatment.

...

"Caschia?"

After hearing Kuleha's words, Yuri, who was sitting on the chair, glanced curiously in the direction of the sound, then reached out to cover his eyes with the new gauze that had been re-wrapped.

This is the gauze that Kuleha re-wrapped after treating him just now.

"Yes, this is a poisonous tick that only exists in dense forests with high temperatures and humidity. Once bitten, bacteria will enter the body through the wound."

Kuleha opened her glasses, smiled and looked at Yuri and the others who were listening carefully, and continued: "They will lie dormant in the body for five days, making people miserable and causing infection, myocarditis, arteritis and encephalitis."

so serious!

Vivi and Sanji couldn't help but turned pale with fear.

"So how's Nami doing? Is everything okay?" Weiwei looked worriedly at Nami who was lying on the bed receiving Chopper's treatment.

After Chopper felt Weiwei's gaze, he paused while holding the plate, and trotted nervously to get another medicine.

As for Luffy, with a big bag on his head, he sat aside and stared at the cute creatures busy going back and forth.

That eager look made Chopper tremble in his heart.

Just now, Luffy, who was making a fuss, was forcibly pulled back by Vivi, who had learned the 'physical' method of dissuading him.

Kuleha took a sip of the wine, raised the corners of her mouth, and glanced at the young people in front of her with interest, "Although I came a little late, fortunately, I still have some antibiotics here that can treat this disease. If it takes longer, If it’s too late, your companion may be hopeless.”

"She must have been in a lot of pain during this period. This kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can bear."

After hearing Kuleha's words, Sanji bit his handkerchief with tears in his eyes and looked at the sleeping Nami with distress.

"Nami-san~"

Weiwei was also a little moved, remembering the scene not long ago when Nami endured the pain and insisted on sending herself back to the country, and her heart was full of guilt and heartache.

Nami…

"However, I remember that this kind of insect became extinct more than a hundred years ago. Where did you come from?" Kuleha looked at the people with different expressions curiously as she said this, "You don't know how? Did you take off your clothes and go for a walk in the dense forest of the Ancient Island?"

Ah this...

Yuri and the others laughed after hearing this. It was because Nami's clothes were burned, so she was wandering around in her underwear.

Not to mention whether this explanation might cause the weird old woman to misunderstand and look at them strangely, but it would be too complicated to explain the situation at that time.

"Is this really the case? Hehehe... It seems that you young people have a lot of tricks to play..." Kuleha obviously misunderstood something, and looked at the young men and women in front of her teasingly.

Except for the two big men, Yuri and Sanji, they didn't care about Kureha's implication.

Weiwei's face turned red when she was glanced at by the witch's strange eyes, and she quickly waved her hands and explained: "No...it's not what you think..."

"If it's not like this, what kind of thing is it?"

Kuleha looked at the peach-like little girl in front of her and was amused by her cute appearance. She grinned and continued joking.

"This…"

Weiwei didn't know how to explain it. After all, it was too complicated to tell about the fact that they were being hunted, and it was not suitable to say too much now. After all, she still didn't understand what kind of person this medical lady was.

Seeing that Weiwei seemed to have something to hide, Kuleha retracted her smile knowingly, put on her sunglasses, waved her hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, hehehehe... After all, everyone has secrets that cannot be told. .”

"Senior Kuleha, I would like to ask if there is no big problem with my eyes, right?" Yuri asked at this time.

"Well... your condition is not much better than this sick girl, but it's not a big problem. After my treatment, you can take off the gauze after a few days of rest."

"I really don't know what you and that girl have been through. One is seriously ill and dying, the other is covered in hidden wounds and has become blind..."

"Doctor Dolly..."

After Chopper finished treating Nami, he walked behind Kuleha and exposed most of his body, timidly observing Yuri and the others.

Seeing Chopper's cute hiding way, Weiwei's girlish heart overflowed, and she stood up and was about to go forward and knead it.

When Chopper saw this, he was so frightened that he kept backing up, rattling the shelf with medicine bottles behind him.

Seeing that the little one opposite seemed very scared, Weiwei stopped moving angrily.

"Old lady, who is he? Why can he talk even though he has medical skills?"

After Usopp's initial panic, he also understood that this little guy didn't seem to be the terrifying Yukio in the legend.

Mainly because it looks so cute, even he has the urge to touch it.

When Kuleha heard him calling her old woman, she was dissatisfied and kicked Usopp to the ground. Then she explained as if nothing was wrong: "His name is Chopper, and he is my son."

"son?!!"

"It's amazing, old lady, you can actually give birth to animals."

Luffy looked at Kureha in front of him excitedly. He didn't expect that this little thing was actually the child of the old woman in front of him.

'Boom! '

"Are you an idiot? How can humans give birth to creatures that transcend species!"

Sanji and Vivi stepped forward and knocked Luffy to the ground who was talking nonsense.

When Kureha heard someone calling her old woman again, she was so angry that she raised her leg and was about to kick her again. She stopped her urge to do it after seeing Luffy being knocked down by her companion.

"Are today's brats talking so unflatteringly?"

"Haha... I'm sorry, old man..." Sanji shut his mouth as soon as he shouted, almost slipping away.

Kuleha glared at him with an unkind look, and then explained: "Chopper is a reindeer with a blue nose who ate the Renren Fruit. He was the adopted son of an old friend of mine. After the old friend passed away, Then he came to me to learn medical skills."

"It turns out to be a Devil Fruit. No wonder it can talk." Usopp rubbed his swollen cheeks and suddenly realized.

"So he also knows how to heal?" Luffy was very concerned about the last sentence. He quickly ran to Chopper, bent down and stared at the nervous little thing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Raccoon cat, be my companion. We just need a doctor."

"I'm a reindeer, reindeer, I have horns, didn't you hear what Doctor Dori said just now!"

Chopper pointed at the antlers on his head angrily, and after retorting loudly, he was stunned and looked at Luffy blankly.

What did he just hear?

The human in front of me wants him to be his companion?

"companion?"

"Yes, yes, go to sea with me and become a pirate. It will be very interesting~"

Luffy smiled and reached out to pat Chopper on the head, but was pushed away.

"I don't want to, it's impossible for me to be a companion of humans!"

After Chopper finished speaking, he turned around and ran out the door with a gloomy look.

The small figure running away in a hurry looked a little lonely, which made Weiwei and others who didn't know why felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Eh?"

"Why did he react so strongly?"

Luffy and Sanji looked at each other in surprise, and they didn't understand why they suddenly ran away in anger.

Seeing their doubts, Kuleha sighed. She looked out the window with deep eyes and said in a deep voice: "Chopper, he has been hurt by humans before..."

Kureha, Yuri and the others told Chopper's past.

...

After listening to Kuleha's story, the emotional Vivi and Usopp wiped the tears from their eyes.

It's so pitiful that this little kid actually has such a sad past.

Even Yuri felt a little distressed. After all, when he was watching the anime, his eyes were reddened by Chopper's past. Now after getting to know him more in person, his sympathy for Chopper deepened again.

I have such a girlish heart.

"I have decided, old lady, you and Chopper will be our companions together!"

Luffy slapped his hands on the table and looked at Kuleha with a determined expression.

"Your name is Luffy, right?"

Kuleha raised her finger with a gloomy expression, making Luffy's eyes uncontrollably staring at her finger, and his eyes became cross-eyed.

"Ang...yes."

"You just called me old lady again, right?"

Luffy didn't notice that Kuleha's face was getting darker and darker, so he nodded blankly in response.

"Yes, old lady~"

'bang'

"Go to hell! You little brat who only cares about food and not about beatings!"

Luffy was instantly kicked away by the violent Kuleha, and his head was embedded in the wall.

This Kuleha's attack speed is too fast!

Yuri turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Kuleha. He just heard a sound breaking through the air, followed by Luffy's scream.

Sure enough, people who can live stably to over a hundred years old are not simple people.

"I'm still young and beautiful, a woman in her 130s."

Usopp looked at Luffy falling from the wall, and Yan Yi's expression was so frightened.

This old witch is so scary!

"I won't waste my free time becoming a pirate with you. I have no interest in the sea."

"It's okay if you're not interested. Let's go on an adventure together, old lady..." Luffy, with a nosebleed, crawled over and looked at Kuleha, and extended the invitation again.

"Hey, hey, I should have told you to be careful when you speak just now, right?"

Chopper, who sneaked back and hid outside the door in the opposite direction, looked at Luffy and the others curiously.

Are they actually pirates? Why are they different from what I imagined?

"kindness?"

Perhaps Chopper's hiding method was too abrupt, so everyone turned their heads and looked at each other.

Except Yuri feels it by his breath.

"Eh hee hee hee..."

A rippling smile appeared on Luffy's face again.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Seeing Chopper running away in a mad rush, and Luffy chasing each other excitedly, several people in the room couldn't help laughing.

"Is it really okay for Luffy to tease him like this?" Weiwei also knew that Luffy pursued him simply because he was having fun.

"Really? I feel like they are quite happy."

Yuri raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Although he couldn't see it at the moment, he could feel that Chopper was obviously enjoying it.

"Yes, the last time Chopper was so motivated was when his 'adopted father' Hiruluk was still alive."

Kuleha sighed with some emotion.
