Chapter 519 Kuleha's Request
"Are there any fur tribes like Zou?! There is such a magical place in this world!"
After listening to Kelimiao's explanation about the moon lion, Chopper immediately showed a fascinated expression.
Because he ate the Renren Fruit, Chopper was not accepted by the reindeer, and was regarded as a monster by most humans. So after knowing that Zou was a hometown of "orcs", he was naturally very Want to take a look.
"There's also Fish-Man Island, that's Sister Shirahoshi's hometown, nya!"
(=`=)σ
The little puppet pointed at the white star not far away and introduced it to Chopper with a proud expression.
"It turns out there really is a mermaid! And she's so big!"
Chopper seemed to have just noticed Shirahoshi's tail, and was so surprised that his chin almost touched the ground.
At this moment, Xie Wen came over and directly picked up Chopper, who had returned to his normal small form.
Probably because of the cats, he did not avoid Xie Wen like in the comics. Although his body was still a little stiff, he honestly allowed Xie Wen to hold him.
"Doctor Kuleha, this little guy...shouldn't be a fur tribe, right?"
After Xie Wen "flicked through" for a while, he asked knowingly.
"No, actually, it was only after I saw your news in the newspaper that I realized that there is such a special race as the fur tribe in this world."
Kureha shook her head and replied: "Chopper is actually an ordinary reindeer that ate the Renren Fruit."
"So it's a devil fruit? That's so boring, meow..."
(=`3=)
But it was only then that Limiao realized what Chopper's three forms were about, and then the little puppet's interest visibly dropped...
There are several animal fruit ability users in their investigation team, but Kaido Miao rarely switches forms, and Shirley, Belmod, and Qin don't have so-called human-animal forms, only elemental and elemental forms. She was in beast form, so Kelimiao couldn't react for a while.
Xie Wen, on the other hand, continued to pinch Chopper here and rub there. With the cooperation of his innate magical power "Furry Friends" and the magical skill Kato Cat Hands, even though he was not good at communicating with humans, Chopper was quickly captured by Blue Star.
But at this time, Xie Wen shook his head and put Chopper down.
"It doesn't feel as good as my cat, and there are no pads to pinch...but the horns feel pretty good."
While commenting like this, he casually touched Chopper's antlers, then picked up Kelimya next to him and squeezed her pink little paws.
Chopper:? ? ?
"You are a dignified Shichibukai, so stop teasing this stupid little guy in our family."
Kuleha, who had long regarded Chopper as her son, couldn't stand it anymore. She came over and picked up her little reindeer, and gave Xie Wen a fierce look.
That is to say, she doesn't know Xie Wen very well yet, and is still a little worried about Shichibukai's identity. If it had been anyone else, Kuleha would have kicked him.
Now that Chopper had met, Xie Wen and the others left after Robin asked two more questions. Kuleha just waved her hands casually, but Chopper was reluctant to leave.
After all, this was the first time he had seen so many "orcs" similar to himself.
"Don't worry, we will come back in a few days, and then I will introduce you to some new cats."
Xie Wen touched Chopper's horn and promised.
Kelimiao, who was squatting on Xie Wen's shoulder, also nodded her little head and said: "And sister Xiaoai is also a doctor. You two will definitely become good friends!"
(=`=)
"Doctor Dori! Did you hear that? Besides me, there are other 'non-humans' who have become doctors!"
Kuleha looked at Chopper, who was already looking forward to the next meeting with Xie Wen and the others, and sighed with complicated emotions.
Then……
"Be quiet! You stupid reindeer!"
Kuleha punched Chopper on the head, causing him to hold his head and calm down while he was jumping up and down excitedly.
"Have you processed all the herbs you collected today?! There is still time to wander around here!"
After Chopper rubbed his head and processed the medicinal ingredients, Kuleha took another sip of wine and sighed with a complicated mood again.
…
On the other side, after Xie Wen left Kuleha's tree house, he took out the hunter's manual without even walking out of the woods, and then quickly turned to the page where Bai Xing, Shirley and the Elephant Master were recorded. Page……
As a result, Chopper was not seen.
That's right, although Chopper is a member of the future protagonist group, after all, he is just the first reindeer in the form of a commoner to eat the Renren Fruit. It is indeed not suitable to be put together with Shirahoshi and the others.
But in this case... the probability of obtaining fragments is relatively low...
So Xie Wen first rubbed the head of Kelimiao's cat, and then turned the hunter's manual back to the page of the small monster illustration.
"Tsk!"
I should have rubbed Kelimya's cat head before taking out the hunter's manual...
Xie Wen, who did not see the familiar white light, sighed in his heart.
Then Xie Wen didn't give up and specifically clicked on the "Reindeer" illustrated book to take a look.
After all, it's possible that Chopper, like Shirahoshi, needs to be "captured" before he can be included.
However, unfortunately, the smallest size in "Reindeer" has been updated, which means that Chopper has actually been included in the Hunter's Manual... as an ordinary reindeer.
"Tsk!"
Xie Wen, whose last glimmer of hope was shattered, was shocked again, and then stuffed the Hunter's Manual back into his waist bag fiercely.
...
"What? Let me take Chopper away?"
A few days later, after Huiyuan Meow and Purya finished their communication at "Doctor 20", Xie Wen immediately brought them to Dr. Kuleha.
As a result, Kuleha handed the matter of exchanging medical skills to Chopper to deal with, but pulled Xie Wen aside and made the previous request to him.
"Chopper... has a huge wound in his heart..."
Faced with Xie Wen's doubts, Kuleha did not explain directly, but began to talk about Chopper and Hiruluk's past.
Xie Wen did not interrupt her. Although he had read the comics and knew about Chopper a long time ago, he really couldn't remember some details, and it would be nice to listen to it again.
The most important thing is that he has been taught to respect the elderly and love the young since he was a child, so he still feels that he should give some respect to Kuleha, the 100-year-old old lady.
"... After meeting you that day, Chopper's heart injury has been healed, and after knowing the existence of Zou, he is always thinking about going out to sea for adventure... These days, he doesn't even read medical books, but reads some travel notes and adventure stories."
At this point, Kuleha shook her head angrily and amusedly, then she looked at Xie Wen seriously and continued: "So I think that if he can go out to sea with you, one day he will be able to heal the wound in his heart."
Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run.
Although Kuleha and Chopper are not even of the same species, she does treat Chopper as her own son.
But...
"I refuse!"
Xie Wen decisively made a cross on his chest.
To be honest, Xie Wen still likes Chopper very much, even though his functions overlap with those of Huiyuan Meow and his strength is relatively average, but these are not the reasons why Xie Wen refused.
Of course, since Robin has already been brought on board because of the reason of being a member of the protagonist group, he is even less likely to care.
The reason why Xie Wen did not intend to let Chopper on board was simple. Under the influence of Hiruluk, Chopper would only want to go out to sea as a pirate.
Just like Luffy and Ace, in Chopper's heart, the identity of a pirate is very special.
"... and before I became a Shichibukai, I was a bounty hunter. Even now, I will go back to my old job from time to time. So, even if I really agree to you, Chopper will not leave with me."
Xie Wen has full confidence in this.
Because...
People in the pirate world are all stubborn!
