Kuleha brought the patients and Dazai to the castle armory and asked Dazai to unlock it.

The Yokohama Lock Picking King lived up to his title and opened the door in just a few moves.

Kuleha pushed open the door, and there were a wide variety of weapons inside. Kuleha asked the patients following behind to go in and move the things, while Kuleha stood by and supervised them while drinking.

Dazai glanced around and jumped back and forth at the door. The people inside were like blind people and could not see anything. Dazai shrugged his shoulders and left blatantly, or with Kuleha's consent.

"Kid, help us apologize to Chopper." Dalton's guilty voice came out, and the others inside nodded.

Dazai Osamu paused, said nothing, and left.

"Hi!" Dazai Osamu put his hands in his coat pockets and walked out of the gate in a cool manner. Luffy and his crew were standing at the door.

"Reindeer! Reindeer!" Luffy called out to Chopper with all his might, inviting him enthusiastically, "Become a pirate with us—"

"He keeps shouting?!" Dazai Osamu pointed at Luffy who was running around and calling out to Chopper, and asked with a smile.

"Hi! Dazai, you're out!" Usopp greeted Dazai happily. Seeing that Dazai had recovered well and was in a good mood, he turned to look at Luffy and said helplessly, "Luffy, we haven't found him after searching for so long. Maybe the little guy doesn't want to be a pirate anymore!"

"No, I want to take it away!" Luffy pointed at Usopp, righteously.

"So it's just your wishful thinking!" Usopp covered his head and cursed at Luffy with his mouth wide open.

"Luffy, I'm counting on you!" Dazai Osamu clapped his hands, winked at Luffy, stars in his eyes, and encouraged Luffy with a smile.

"Dazai--" Luffy looked at Dazai Osamu with emotion, nodded solemnly, and worked even harder.

"reindeer!!"

"reindeer!!"

As Luffy continued to shout, Chopper's figure appeared in front of him in the snow.

"Hey, let's go pirates together!" Luffy raised his hands, opened his mouth, and looked very happy.

"No way—" Chopper clutched his hooves, lowered his head, and refused.

"What's wrong with that? Being a pirate is so fun~" Luffy will not give up so easily and keeps inviting it.

"I'm very grateful to you," Chopper's voice choked with sobs, and he blinked his hands and feet to hold back the tears that were about to overflow, and shouted to himself, "But I, I'm a reindeer! I have horns, hooves, and a blue nose! I really want to be a [pirate], but I'm not a [human's] companion, I'm a monster!! I can't be your companion, so I'm expressing my gratitude to you!" After all, I am an alien -

Can you heal its inner wounds?

Kuleha's words resonated in Luffy and the others' hearts.

"Stop talking nonsense! Come with me!!!" Luffy shouted loudly, ignoring Chopper's refusal.

Luffy doesn't care about monsters or anything. He only hears what he wants. After all, he wants to be the freest person in the world and will not be bound by these worldly views. He only uses his own eyes, his own feelings, and his own ideas to do things, and he never regrets a move.

The air was silent for a moment.

Dazai Osamu looked at Luffy's self-statement and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He leaned against the door, folded his arms, and tilted his head to watch how things developed. Luffy never lets people down.

Chopper couldn't help but shed tears and snot. Luffy's sincere words hit his heart hard, as if he was back to the moment when the doctor reached out to him, warm and beautiful.

"Ahhh——" Chopper screamed uncontrollably, using the animal's way of venting, and once again found a place of belonging in this world where he was incompatible with his feelings.

----

Chopper went into the castle alone to say goodbye to Kuleha, while the Straw Hat Pirates were waiting outside.

"Let's go and say goodbye too! To that old doctor and Uncle Dalton and the others!" Luffy suggested, sitting cross-legged on the snowball, looking at Zoro and the others on the left.

"Silly boy, just let Chopper go alone. They will surely burst into tears! Even though Doctor Lina looks so powerful on the surface, she is actually very gentle deep down in her heart--" Nami frowned. It's better not to disturb them at this time of farewell.

Hug your head and cry?

Dazai Osamu couldn't help but snicker at Nami's innocent guess, someone as awkward as Kureha wouldn't use such a tender farewell.

"Are we really leaving like this?" Usopp asked Nami.

"Of course, after Chopper comes back, we will go down the mountain and leave for Alabasta." Nami nodded, looked at Weiwei, and smiled heartily, "Weiwei, do you agree?"

"As long as there's a doctor with us." She agreed with a smile. Nami, Dazai Osamu and the others were all in good health. Weiwei's mood, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally relaxed for a moment.

"Really? Then I'll go prepare the cable car. Luffy, come and help." After Usopp got the answer, he started working efficiently, directing Luffy, who was still playing on the snowball, to come over and work.

"There's actually a ropeway, that's great—" Luffy's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly. He jumped down impatiently and followed Usopp.

"Then I'll come and help too--" Dazai Osamu raised his hand, said happily, and jumped over.

Others: ???!!!!

Did the sun rise from the west? Dazai, that Dazai Osamu actually came to work on his own initiative!!!

No, the sun is still in the east today. The others looked up at the sky in tacit understanding, staring at Dazai Osamu suspiciously, with their vigilant eyes piercing Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu puffed up his face in dissatisfaction, blinked his eyes, stared at them with his big eyes, tears seemed to be flashing in his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "What? It's so rare that I want to help--" Of course it was fake--only dogs would do this kind of work. The villain in Dazai Osamu's heart was dancing.

"Dazai, you're so nice!" Luffy looked at Dazai Osamu who came to help with emotion. He was the only one who believed Dazai Osamu's words.

Looking at Luffy's sparkling eyes, Dazai Osamu was dazzled. He covered his eyes with his hands in pain to stop Luffy from rushing over, and moved forward stiffly.

Although he was helping, Dazai Osamu continued to slack off, but since he had already taken the initiative to ask for help, how could they ask for so much from him? With the indulgence of the two, the cable car was soon ready.

Dazai Osamu was the first to be affected and sat at the innermost seat, while Luffy and Usopp stood at the door.

"Bye-bye--" Dazai Osamu pushed the two men from behind. The two men completely trusted Dazai Osamu, so they were naturally pushed out and fell to the ground, looking at Dazai Osamu with question marks on their faces.

"What should I do? I really can't accept such a warm exit." After all, I'm not used to the light.

Dazai Osamu waved to the people who were looking at him blankly, raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes moved, and said with interest, "See you later!", looked at Luffy, blinked, and shook his head slightly.

The ropeway started to move on its own and slid down slowly. Luffy wanted to grab the ropeway and bring Dazai back, but when he saw Dazai's action, he smiled brightly and said, "There's nothing you can do. This is the crew's request."

"See you later, Dazai!" Luffy waved happily and said goodbye to Dazai.

Others: ???!!!!

Before the CPUs of several people could process the complex information, Chopper transformed into a reindeer, dragged a sled and rushed out anxiously, shouting to everyone, "Everyone, get on the sled, we are going down the mountain!!!"

Chopper was running madly in front, and Kuleha was behind him, throwing knives at him continuously and chasing him with anger.

"What!!"

There was no way. Before the few people could come to their senses, Chopper took them on the sled one by one, flew into the sky, landed heavily on the snow, and rushed down the mountain.

"Ahhhhhhh——" On the sled, several people screamed loudly in excitement, breaking the ultimate high pitch of human beings.

Chopper and his companions gradually went away. Kuleha looked at them from afar and turned back to the castle.

In the sky, with a few cannon shots, pink snowflakes drifted across the island, as gorgeous and beautiful as cherry blossoms. In these snowflakes, all injuries disappeared. This was a miracle.

A man-made miracle.

"It's so exciting~" Dazai Osamu held his chin with both hands, and watched the reindeer with a sleigh under the snow and moon with great interest, as if he was Santa Claus~

One is rushing on the road with great enthusiasm, while the other is enjoying a peaceful life on the cable car.

Finally, they returned to one place - the Merry.

Chopper, get on board.
