In the gates of the hilltop castle.

Chopper, who was carrying his luggage, gradually revealed his figure in the shadow behind the door.

Luffy, who saw Chopper, immediately stood up from the snow, stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"Are you all ready?"

Chopper, who was still in a somewhat complicated mood, suddenly became happy when he heard Luffy's inquiry, and nodded heavily:

"Hmm!"

"Haha......"

Luffy lightly buckled one hand on Chopper's hat and shouted loudly to his companions who were resting in the distance:

"In this case, because of the time, Chopper's welcome banquet was held on the Merry!!"

"Now, pack everything!"

"We ...... Departure!! ”

"Oh!!"

The crowd cheered in unison.

Everyone is sincerely happy to have Chopper join.

Under the banner of the starry sky, there is one more person, and their big family has become more colorful.

"Let's go, guys!

We're down the mountain! ”

Luffy bent down and picked up Chopper directly, ignoring Chopper's dazed look, striding towards the edge of the cliff where they had come up.

"Eh, wait, Luffy...... The downhill ropeway is not in this direction. ”

Chopper, who was caught between Luffy's arms, immediately opened his mouth and said remindedly.

However, Luffy continued to grin as if he hadn't heard, and leaned over to the cliff.

Usopp, who seemed to have guessed something, suddenly shed a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Goo-dong!"

As if frightened, Usopp choked in fear:

"Hey, hey!"

"Luffy, are you going to ......?"

"Huh? What should it be? ”

Luffy was on the cliff with half a foot, his back to the cliff, and he turned around and smiled at Usopp.

Immediately after, before Usopp could say anything, Luffy's body fell back sharply.

"Hahaha......"

"Guys, without further ado, we're leaving!"

"Ahhh!!!hhh

Chopper, who was tightly hugged by Luffy and couldn't move at all, was frightened by this sudden high-altitude bungee jump and let out a series of terrifying screams.

Zoro immediately laughed and sighed:

"Oh~ In this way, it's really much faster!"

"Hey, hey! Zoro, are you going to follow Luffy Hu too? ”

Usopp reached out to grab Zoro.

However, Zoro ignored him at all, followed Luffy's figure, and calmly jumped off the cliff with one step.

"Let's go, Brooke......"

"Okay, Mr. Sanji."

"Hey, you too......

Kirby, let's two go do the ropeway......"

"Don't hesitate, Usopp!

Here, Vivi, take my hand! ”

Nami smiled at Usopp, then took Vivi's nervous arm and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

"I'm going to pull !! too"

Usopp, whose legs were trembling, immediately pounced on Nami, trying to hold Nami's other hand.

"You go down for me!"

Burst......

Nami, who was mischievous, staggered Usopp with a direct dodge.

Then he kicked the unsteady Usopp in the ass and kicked him off the cliff.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"Ahhh......hh

"Hahaha......"

Nami laughed out loud.

She didn't worry about Usopp's safety, Usopp's strength, she knew it well.

Not to mention this hill that doesn't take a few minutes to climb, even if it is two or three times higher than this, with Usopp's physical strength, there will be no problem.

Nami, who came to the edge of the cliff, turned around and said hello:

"Sister Robin, Little Merry, and Little Kirby.

We...... It's time to go! ”

"Hmm."

"Hee-hee!"

"Wait for me, Miss Nami!"

……

……

At the foot of the peak of the Drum Kingdom.

Rumble!!!

A large series of loud noises kept coming!

The loud sound shook the snow on the mountain again!

Fortunately, because Luffy's terrible behavior just now, the loose snow blocks have fallen off, so this time it did not cause the secondary collapse of the snow mountain.

"Damn! Nami !! ”

Usopp, who had just risen from the ground, immediately raised his fist in refreshment and glared at Nami angrily.

However......

"What's wrong!?"

Nami's voice suddenly became magnificent, and her eyes turned bright blue like sapphires.

The erected dragon pupils, with a dragon might, pounced on Usopp.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Usopp, who was shocked by the dragon's might, immediately changed his flattering face and took a few steps back in embarrassment.

"Hahahaha......"

Usopp's funny appearance once again caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Except, of course, Chopper, who has been scared out of his soul.

……

……

At this time, although Chopper's eyes were wide open, there was no trace of brilliance, and they were dim.

In the corners of the eyes, two confused tear stains can be clearly seen, the tears soaked the fur, leaving two pits.

His tongue hung out weakly, and he looked like he had fainted.

"Chopper! Chopper! ”

Luffy lifted Chopper, who was unconscious and like a doll, into the air and shook his body vigorously.

"Uh...... Uh......"

Under the constant vibration of his brain, Chopper seemed to slow down a little of consciousness, and his eyes gradually regained a glimmer of light.

The body swelled up instantly!

"Whew!!"

Chopper, who had not yet recovered from the fright of falling from a high altitude just now, immediately turned into the form of a strong man, and raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, as if he was emboldening himself.

Looking at Chopper's appearance, Luffy immediately stepped forward and comforted him:

"Alright, Chopper, we're on the ground!"

"Huh?"

Under Luffy's guidance, Chopper slowly came back to his senses, looked around in confusion, and then suddenly changed and became the cute child form again.

"Wow!! It's amazing!! ”

Usopp, Kirby, and Merry instantly surrounded him, their eyes shining with gold, and they looked at Chopper's appearance excitedly.

"What was that just now, is it a transformation!?"

"You are so powerful as a tanuki who can transform!!"

"Yaga!

I'm a reindeer, not a tanuki!

Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy!! ”

Chopper, who was surrounded in the middle, was immediately enveloped by everyone's expectant gaze, and his body became distorted like a snake again, and he became shy.

Completely forgot about the shock I had just received.

I have to say that Chopper is also a big nerve being.

……

……

At the top of the mountain, Luffy was where they had just been.

Dr. Kureha carried a large wine bottle and walked with a seemingly easy step to the edge of the cliff, and slowly sat down.

Looking at the huge full moon that had gradually risen in the sky, I listened to the chaotic sounds that came from time to time at the foot of the mountain.

"Monchi M. D. Luffy? ”

Knock Knock Knock......

The liquid in the bottle quickly disappears.

"Whoever has the name of D will not be inferior to his partner......"

"Chopper, you're blessed......"

Dr. Kureha, who has a mysterious background, seems to be nostalgic for the past, and a layer of mist quietly rises in his eyes that are covered with crow's feet but are still bright.

"I ...... too Are you old......"

……

……

Night had come completely, a new moon was reflected high in the sky, but the snow was still falling scattered, little by little close to the ground.

On the coast of the Drum Kingdom, where Luffy and his gang landed on the island.

"Uh......"

A painful struggle sounded.

Dalton, the former captain of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom's guards, slowly climbed up from the ground.

Still somewhat delirious, clutching his temples, he looked around at his fallen brothers.

"Yo!"

"It's just the right time, are you awake!?"

Before Dorton could adjust the blurred vision in front of him, a young man's cheerful voice suddenly sounded.

Dalton immediately sought prestige.

Vaguely, I only saw Luffy and his party, walking unhurriedly in the direction where the Merry docked.

Little Chopper carried a pink backpack and jumped and jumped along the way.

Just now, everyone told him a lot about the magic of the Merry.

He was now impatient to visit the Merry as soon as possible.

……

……

"You...... What did you guys do!? ”

Dalton, who had turned into a frightened bird, immediately staggered towards Luffy and them, as if to make sure that Luffy had harmed the country.

Luffy saw that he was having trouble even walking, and he didn't care about his accusations.

Quickly stepped forward, put one hand on his shoulder, held him up, and said with relief:

"Don't worry, we just came looking for someone, and now we've found it, hehe......

We're ready to go.

This country and its people are doing well! ”

After saying that, Luffy no longer cared about this qualified soldier who was heartbroken for the people, and directly led everyone to the Merry.

It's just that......

Luffy, who had just arrived at the shore of the port, suddenly cast his eyes beyond the open sea.

In his perception, there ......

Something, rapidly approaching.
