Chapter 38
The Straw Hat Adventurers are now sailing on the sea, returning to their original route and heading towards the small garden!
"Zoro! This is our new partner, Tony Tony Chopper!" Luffy picked up Chopper and showed him in front of Zoro.
"What a cute raccoon cat." Zoro's mouth twitched, with an expressionless look.
"Oh, I won't be happy even if you praise me for being cute!" Chopper immediately became shy.
"No, it's not a raccoon cat, it's a reindeer, a reindeer!"
Akin touched Chopper's head: "This is our new ship doctor of the Straw Hat Adventurers."
"Ship doctor? It's actually a ship doctor, a reindeer who can treat illnesses, amazing." Zoro said.
Nami said on the side: "Okay, don't bully him, Chopper is our group pet, a partner recognized by everyone!" Nami also hugged Chopper.
Chopper was shy again.
Luffy smiled and said, "Chopper, you have to work hard. Besides preparing medicine and treating illnesses, you still have to train yourself well. Now your combat effectiveness in our team is at the bottom."
"Well! I will work hard!" Chopper clenched his hands.
[Name: Tony Tony Chopper]
[Observation Haki: Not Awakened]
(Although it has been accelerated by 100 times, Chopper cannot directly awaken the two-color Haki in these few days. After all, Chopper's foundation is too weak. But Chopper's physical skills have improved to a certain extent!)
[Armament Haki: Not Awakened]
[Physical Skills: Iron Block: 27% for beginners, Shave: 20% for beginners, Paper Painting: 9% for beginners, Moon Step: 8% for beginners, Storm Kick: 18% for beginners, Finger Gun: 17% for beginners, Instant Step: 13% for beginners, Collapse Punch: 50% for beginners]
[Devil Fruit: Animal-type Human-Human Fruit · Kirin form awakening progress: 10%]
Luffy smiled and remembered the conversation with Dr. Kuleha during the two days of training Chopper:
"You really want to take Chopper as your partner, you must take good care of him. He has been studying medicine for the past few years. Whenever he sees sick people in the kingdom, he secretly treats them. But after they are cured, they will treat Chopper as a monster and run away. Tell me if he is stupid, how can you repay kindness with kindness!"
"You said your name is Monkey D. Luffy, and you ate Joy Boy's Animal-type Mythical Beast · Human-Human Fruit · Nika Form. What do you want to do? Do you want to overthrow the world?"
"I want to surpass Joy Boy."
"Hahaha, great kid, I'll wait for good news."
"Ms. Kuleha, can you..."
"Hey, hey, hey, stop it, I'm just a 140-year-old woman, I'm already a semi-recluse, I can't help you. Do you know what the secret of my youthful mentality is? That is, I never mind other people's business, I just want to be happy and live a good life, I don't care about the floods in front of and behind him!"
"Hiss, I remember... I can't remember how many years ago, a man named Luo Er D ·Roger's young man came to invite me to board the ship, and later a kid named Monkey D. Dragon came to invite me to join the Revolutionary Army, but I beat them all up and drove them out, haha!"
Luffy said with a smile: "Dr. Kuleha is really a senior who does what she wants and lives as she pleases! Living in seclusion like this, looking at this senior, I will become more yearning for the ideal world."
"Yes, there are many things we can learn from Dr. Kuleha's calm personality." Usopp said.
"Next, we will pass by the small garden and prepare to go to Alabasta. I am really worried about everyone in Alabasta." Vivi sighed. During this period, Princess Vivi has also experienced a lot. She is no longer crying like before, and even wants to kneel down when she encounters difficulties.
Usopp also recalled the conversation with Dr. Kuleha:
"Ms. Kuleha, can you please help me make a set of seastone bullets, plus a few pairs of ultra-high-density tranquilizers, anesthetics, etc., preferably effective for super strong people on the sea."
"Oh? Are you a sniper? It seems that you are also a person who wants to do big things. No problem, I'll take this little thing!"
...
As night fell, everyone else went to bed, but Luffy was in trouble when he looked at the [Swallow Fruit] he took out from the system space. He had asked all the crew members about this fruit, and no one wanted to eat it, and it was not appropriate to give it to anyone. But this [Swallow Fruit] is a god-level fruit to some extent. If it is left alone, it would be too wasteful.
Suddenly, Luffy's eyes lit up. No one wanted this fruit, and it was not appropriate to give it to anyone, but! There is another person who is very suitable on the Golden Merry! The system should be able to do this kind of thing!
Moreover, in the original work, there is a huge regret that has not been filled. In the original work, the ship spirit of the Golden Merry has never been born, and it has not been able to show up in front of other people until the Golden Merry was burned and swallowed by flames. How can Luffy allow this to happen! How can the Golden Merry disappear in the future!
Do it as soon as you say it!
"System, is it possible? Can it be done? Can the ship spirit eat the devil fruit?" Luffy asked in his mind.
"Yes!" The system gave a positive answer, "As long as the host can summon the ship spirit, I can help the ship spirit eat the devil fruit! But in that case, the ship spirit will be shaped according to the host's image and wishes, and become a physical spirit that can meet everyone!"
"So! Are you there? Merry!" Luffy muttered.
Silence, silence is the Golden Merry tonight.
After a long silence, a telepathy suddenly appeared in Luffy's heart. It was an extremely ethereal voice:
"I'm here! You are worthy of me! My dear captain! You are the first one to discover my existence!"
As if in the dark, under the cloudless night sky, a somewhat illusory little figure appeared on the deck of the Golden Merry.
He looked like a miniature cute version of the bow of the Merry, and a cute little sheep-shaped ship spirit appeared in front of Luffy.
He opened his clear eyes and jumped to Luffy.
"Hello, Captain Luffy! Nice to meet you!" Merry's ethereal voice sounded again in Luffy's heart.
Luffy wanted to reach out and hug him, but unfortunately, it was just a spirit, visible but not touchable.
He seemed to have only a slightly illusory, peaceful face, and smiled at Luffy.
Hello, Merry.
It's great to meet again.
