"Hee-hee...... Pikachu, Chopper...... But what does the name mean? ”

The little reindeer came back to his senses, and suddenly his blue nose twitched, and he sniffed lightly, and the familiar three tastes became much lighter.

It turned its head and found that it was somehow the only one left in the bright treehouse......

“……”

Neither a man nor a deer, but a little creature in a half-human, half-deer hybrid form, Chopper, who had a name, looked at the big empty house.

It stood still, its mouth open, unable to say anything.

Chirp, tweet, tweet......

Chopper walked around the treehouse with his characteristic little steps, climbed onto the table, got under the bed, opened the cabinet, lifted the folded quilt, and even lifted the plate to look at the bottom of it......

“……”

Chopper's tiny body slumped in his chair, looking at the shiny plate licked in his hand, on which the face of the blue-nosed reindeer was reflected.

It wanted to shout loudly just now, but suddenly realized that it didn't even know the names of those three people......

And in the empty treehouse that Chopper thought, a figure in black armor stood quietly in the center of the house, its narrow eyes glowing with white light, quietly watching the depressed little reindeer.

[Just ......]

【BIU】

[In the treehouse, Kureha's entire person suddenly disappeared. Not even the bottles were left. 】

[The little reindeer is still happy with the name he has, completely oblivious to the changes that are quietly taking place around him. 】

[Kureha only felt that the scenery in front of him changed, as if he was shuttling rapidly, and after a blink of an eye, he was standing in another place, and what he saw was a spacious living room, sofa, coffee table, bar, entertainment area, all of which were complete, and you could see a place similar to a study at the corner, and there seemed to be several bedrooms in the distance...... It's like a sophisticated apartment full of life. 】

[Where is this?] How did I get here......]

[Kureha takes a sip of wine and wipes the corners of her mouth.] 】

[The camera pans up, and she stands in place, slowly zooming out in the frame, passing through a door-like opening...... It's the Black Ghost. One of the entrances to the castle on the body of B. 】

[Lynch and Robin approached. B'The body surface opens the entrance to this castle. 】

【BIU，BIU】

[They also disappeared in place one after another.] 】

……

As I entered the stand-in castle, I saw Kureha wandering around the living room, and came to the drink shelves on the wall behind the bar******* I.B. After copying the castle fruit, while ingesting the main body, Robin's daily necessities, and stored food into the castle, he instantly laid out the castle and stored everything to organize it. It's not like Lynch or '. How perverted is the speed at which B's mind processes information, but the special ability that comes with the Castle Fruit ability...... After all, you can't really expect one person to be able to plan an entire castle structure in every detail, right? Since it's a Devil Fruit, it always has a unique convenience.

Kureha fiddled with the walls full of drinks, but unfortunately it was not all kinds of black tea, coffee, fruit drinks, or milk cubes that were easy to store.

"Why don't you even have a decent drink?" She was clearly dissatisfied.

Robin didn't like to drink. Lynch is also not a drinker, but he does not refuse to drink when he wants to. Either of them had any drinks at the castle in any case.

"Friendly reminder," Lynch came over and suggested, "don't drink all the time when you're old." ”

Kureha threw the bottle over.

A long bundle of black hair stabbed out like a snake, tied up the thrown bottle, and then loosened, slipped down and caught it.

"......," Kureha took a closer look at his long hair, which danced as if it had life.

She walked over to the living room couch and sat down, asking, "So, what is this place?" A pirate base for the two of you little guys? Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not trying to scare you, old woman," said Lynch, skewing away from Kureha's old kick, "just to show you, only here you can see." ”

Kureha flew into the air, dusted off his sleeves, and said, "Oh, is it? I'm going to see what it is, mysterious. ”

Lynch muttered, "Did she almost fall just now?" ”

Dr. Kureha pretended not to hear them, and urged them to lead the way, and almost kicked them.

Robin smiled softly and led Kureha up the stairs with Lynch.

Upstairs......

It's '. After getting the castle fruit this time, B』 added a temporary plug to the original design of the stand-in castle, and added an extra layer.

When the three of them ascended to this floor, there was a large, empty room, with only four walls filled with dense piles of books......

Robin smelled the scent of books on the wall, surrounded by such a sea of books, and suddenly felt refreshed, and couldn't help but smile.

"Books?" Kureha lifted her sunglasses and looked around at the bookshelves on the walls around her.

Lynch said: "Don't look at us like this, I think I was also a person who loved to read back then, and I didn't forget to collect books wherever I went...... For example, when we were in the South China Sea, when we passed by the Kingdom of Birds, that is, the Kingdom of Torino, the locals invited us into their huge library with great enthusiasm......"

He pointed to a wall full of books of all kinds, all of which had been found in the library of the local people in the Torino Kingdom of the South Sea. B's "quantum reading" in the mind.

『. After copying the ability of the Castle Fruit, you can directly use the ability of the Castle Fruit to "print" the memories of the books it called up into books.

Of course, these books were created by the Castle Fruit ability, so they could only be left in the castle and disappeared when they were taken out.

It was also for this reason that Lynch could only invite Kureha into the castle, and if she couldn't take it out, she had to come and see it herself.

"Kingdom of Birds...... Kureha became interested as soon as he heard the name, walked to the bookshelf on the other wall and pulled out a book and read it briefly, "Sure enough, it's a pharmacological theory that I've never seen before...... However, these herb varieties seem to be only available to some islands in the South China Sea...... However, since the pharmacology is similar, there is indeed something to learn from......"

With a finger on Nami's forehead, she can instantly get a body temperature accurate to one decimal place while drinking wine, and the hundred-year-old doctor known as the "witch" directly stopped caring with the clever Lynch and Robin after getting the professional medical book, and immersed himself in the ocean of medical knowledge.

Kureha took out the books on the wall and flipped through them, then sat down on the couch and moved the stacks of books down and placed them on the table. I didn't even notice that white fluid was rising from the floor in the otherwise empty room, condensing into sofas and tables......

Lynch touched his chin, "How do I feel, have I forgotten something?" ”

Robin stood next to him, touched his chin as well, and muttered, "It looks like Chopper is still outside......"

"Ahh Lynch was stunned.

……

"Ahh!!!!!h

The screams of the little reindeer resounded in the treehouse.

The flame-streaked mecha arm hung in mid-air, and it had just picked up the fur on the back of Chopper's neck, and when the latter looked back at the empty back, the fluff all over his body exploded in fright, and even the two tufts of antlers on his head almost flew out...... The little guy screamed, and hid in the corner of the tree house with his back against the rough tree wall, panting nervously, with a blue nose and snot, and round eyes, "Yes yes yes what?!" Could it be- is it a snow monster?! ”

This little guy seems to be scared enough, ". . . B's long, narrow eyes glowed white and fell silent.

It took out a pen and paper from the castle in its body, and slashed down a line of words and held it up in front of it.

Chopper knows words, don't ask how it knows it, as if it eats the fruit of people and can speak, in short, it is incredibly recognizable to human words.

A piece of paper suddenly floated in the air, with a line of words written on it, and a pen next to it, and tapped the line on the paper, as if to remind it to look.

"It's not a snow monster, it's a ghost."

"Whew......" Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her sweat, "It turns out that it's not a snow monster." It was a real shock...... Phantom?!!!!!!!! ”

It jumped on the spot, its face turned blue, its eyes and teeth jumped out, and two tufts of antlers flew out......

The little reindeer was so frightened that they scurried around the house, and the '. B put down the pen and paper and thought silently, "The timid trio's face art is really good-looking......

Then, the stand-in armor wrote another line with a pen and put it up in front of him.

Chopper, who jumped on the table and blocked it with a plate, but most of his body was exposed, waited for a while, and then heard the sound of the pen tapping on the paper, and couldn't help but look back again.

I saw the paper floating in the air, and the sentence just now, "It's not a snow monster, it's a ghost." is crossed out, and below is a new line of text:

"Hello, Pikachu."

"......" Chopper's nervousness suddenly disappeared a lot, and he looked curiously at the air around the floating paper, and pointed to his blue nose, "You know me?" Are you really a ghost? Ghosts know me too? ”

The pen and paper floating in the air moved again......

……

When Lynch and Robin walked to the entrance to the castle, they pushed the door open and found that . . . B seems to be sitting at the table.

And across the table sat Chopper, the little guy with the tip of his pink tongue up, excitedly picking up the tip of his pink tongue. B's side grabbed a piece of paper on the table, and happily read: "Xu Lun, Giornuo, hehehehe, is this their name?" Xu Lun, Giorno ......"

The little reindeer smirked for a while, suddenly frowned, and scratched his head with his little hooves in distress, "Your name is so hard to pronounce, I don't know these words......"

As soon as it looked up, it saw that there seemed to be a small hole in the air, and on the edge of the small hole sat two small people......

When he looked closely, the two villains in the air turned out to be Xu Lun and Qiao Lunuo, whose names he had just known.

Lynch greets, "Hi, Pikachu." ”

"Eh?!!!!!!"

Chopper was so frightened that he jumped up in his chair again.

Lynch is laughing at the entrance of the castle, and the timid trio's face art is really fun!

"Lynch, don't scare it like that." Robin tugged at his face.

"Hey, Pikachu, it's us." Lynch stood up at the entrance to the castle and shouted loudly outside.

Chopper's emotions came and went quickly, slowly calmed down, probed his head and approached the two villains in the air, the blue nose sniffed lightly, and said with a cold sweat on his forehead: "It's a familiar smell......

"Where have you been?" Chopper blinked and said in confusion, "Why did you become so small?" ”

Lynch looked up at the huge cute head and beckoned kindly, "Do you want to know?" Then get a little closer......"

"Really?" Chopper was too innocent, and he really moved forward.

Lynch reached out and grabbed the huge blue nose and gently pulled it in. B's ability range of castle fruits on the surface of the body is rapidly reduced.

The whole fawn appeared at the feet of Lynch and Robin with a "BIU" in an exclamation, and bounced twice after landing.

Chopper looked up blankly and saw the tall Lynch and Robin, and instinctively screamed in fright.

"Ah!!h

The little reindeer almost fell out of the hole and was pulled back by Robin's reach.

"Hahaha!" Lynch leaned back and said, "You're so funny, Pikachu!" ”

Robin put Chopper on the ground, and Chopper was already a little dazed by this startled change, and looked around blankly.

"Don't scare it like that again." Robin sighed and tugged at Lynch's face, "Don't take it as an example." ”

……

The fawn's hooves stepped on the steps of "chirping" and "chirping", and Chopper sneakily followed behind Lynch and Robin, hiding there for a while, hiding there for a while, like a vigilant little agent, and almost crawled forward...... When he actually entered the castle living room, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Chopper immediately called out in surprise "Wow".

Chopper, who only exists in the distant vision of human lights and only remembers the harsh wind and snow, is immediately attracted by the stand-in castle, and his eyes are flashing with stars.

There is so much juice and milk on the drink rack on the wall behind the bar that it smells like it's delicious......

"Ah, drink ......"

Soon, Chopper was holding a bottle of milk and sucking, looking satisfied.

"It's noisy!" At the top of the staircase, Kureha's voice came from above.

Lynch and Robin go up with Chopper, who sucks milk.

The medical books on the table were piled up, and Kureha came out from behind, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "Boy, why?" You are pirates, and instead of plundering, you gave me so many medical books......"

Her expression became serious.

Lynch got serious, too.

Kureha muttered, "Do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth?" ”

"Who's going to ask you this!" Lynch was speechless, "That's it!" ”

He gestured to the little guy at his feet.

Robin lowered his head, Chopper sucked the milk, raised his cute big eyes, and looked innocent.

Lynch laughed, "Our captain doesn't plan to add to the crew, but if it's a pet, it should be fine." ”

Kureha said, "I see, you want to take it as a pirate." ”

"Maybe in the future." Lynch bent down and looked down at the little reindeer with a smile, "But it's too weak now, and it needs to draw nutrients."

"And...... Pikachu, isn't your Devil Fruit ability wild, and it's too rough to use it, and the animal-based ability is actually used like that! After the fruit of everyone was completely humanized, he actually had deer hair all over his body...... Could it be that people who eat the fruit of dogs and dogs will still have human skin after they are completely animalized? It's really unbelievable! ”

Chopper looked up and pouted, not understanding why he had suddenly lectured himself.

"Smack!"

Lynch snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the books on the other wall turned into white fluid, and the transformation was completed in an instant.

Converted the research materials of Dr. Vegapunk on the bloodline factor that they had memorized from the cave research institute of the future country of Organ Island, "quantum reading".

"These studies ......," Dr. Kureha said, quickly revealing his shock.
