Legend has it that in the far west of the Drum Kingdom, there is a world-famous thief in a certain country, and if he wants to steal something, whether it is the king's crown or the queen's jewels, he will definitely be able to steal it.

But he is such a thief, but he suffers from congenital heart disease and faces sudden death at any time for the rest of his life. However, just a few decades ago, the thief suddenly saw a miracle cherry blossom blooming on a mountain in his hometown, and when he was deeply moved, his incurable disease was miraculously cured!

After that, the thief gave up his original career and became a doctor, devoting all his energy to studying the miracle of cherry blossoms. Although his medical skills are poor because he is a wild monk, his heart to heal patients is more determined than that of the most powerful doctors:

"There is no disease in this world that cannot be cured!"

- That's right, although the trajectory of fate was greatly influenced by Polusalino, Chopper still received the most precious aphorism from the legendary thief of the time, that is, Dr. Hiluluk.

At the same time, it is precisely because of Siluluk's belief that when Polusalino was planning the Magnetic Drum Naval Medical District, he made him, who was only third-rate, become Dr. Greva's deputy, and even made him the vice principal of the Naval Medical School to train more qualified doctors......

】

Today, the courage and faith conveyed by Dr. Hiluluk are surging in Chopper's small body. Overcoming its timid nature, it shouted its name out to the enemy, who had no idea what the situation was:

"I am...... I'm the Animal King, Tony Thorny! ”

"I'm a doctor too! So ......"

"From now on, I'm going to - protect this island! I will not forgive anyone for hurting my partner! ”

"Hahaha! Animal kings? Then feel my power! Battle Melody! ”

Badulla suddenly sped up the violin's melody, and the invisible force spread.

The horde of horn-eaters was suddenly affected and ran wildly, and the momentum was like a flood!

"Chopper!"

By the time Mobombi was shouting from the cliff, Chopper was already rushing towards the horde of horneaters, running like waves on the water.

And then—

"Come after me! Bad guys! ”

Courage doesn't equal recklessness - instead of really being stupid enough to go head-to-head with the enemy, Chopper suddenly rolls over in the torrent of horneaters and runs towards the jungle.

"What?"

The horneaters, having lost their target, stopped in confusion.

"Is it running away?"

"I guess I ran away, right?"

The two guys, Hot Dog and Snake, were dumbfounded all at once.

"Chopper! When did you master our next partner's nirvana?! ”

"Miss Nami, what's next? What kind of nirvana? ”

"It's just running away! You'll see ...... then."

Badulla's violin made a louder noise, overshadowing Nami and Sanji's conversation.

With an even more rapid "chase melody", the Badulla trio all sat on the backs of the horneaters and chased Chopper into the depths of the jungle.

"The King...... Ran away? ”

"Chopper actually ran away?"

The animal king, who thought he would be guarding them, escaped on his own, and Mobangbi and Rasuke, who faced all this, stayed where they were.

"The words of the former king...... If it were the unicorn lion, it would definitely not run away! King Chopper ...... Is it weak? Can't you really beat these bad guys? ”

Mobangby, who had always believed that the animal king was very strong, fell into complete chaos.

"Hey! What are you talking about? ”

Luffy tilted his head, looking incomprehensible, "Really strong is not to ignore and fight the other side, Chopper's choice is not a problem at all...... And, if you're worried, come with us. ”

"Huh? Me? ”

"Mobangby! Don't go! If you chase after you, you'll be killed. ”

Rasuke hurriedly stopped, "Besides, if you go this time, I'm afraid you won't just leave such a big scar on your chest!" ”

Mobonbi suddenly pressed the scar on his chest.

"Hurry up! Luffy! ”

Frankie adjusted his forward mode and shouted at Luffy.

"You should know, right? Chopper and we are partners! ”

Luffy suddenly said this to Mobonbi.

"Huh?"

"Why do you have to leave with us by boat, or do you have to stay on the island, you will only give orders to others, and force others, this is not a partner!"

"Although at that time, I may be scolded by Uncle Polusalino, and I will be beaten by him...... But we all support Chopper's own choice! ”

“……”

"As for you, since you have chosen it to be your king, you should also believe in it—Chopper, but a kind-hearted fellow!"

After Luffy dropped this sentence to Mobangby, he also strode towards the jungle.

The animals had no idea what to do with what was happening in front of them, and they all stood there motionless.

(If I'm strong enough......)

Mobangby's mood is very complicated.

(If I were as powerful as the Kirin-sama, I would definitely help!) )

"What can a little guy like you do?"

That night, the pirates were grinning.

"If you don't want to get hurt again, just let me be there and watch your father die!"

Hearing the pirates' words, Mobangby's legs trembled incessantly, and he finally collapsed to the ground. The pirates also wielded their axes and killed Mobambi's father.

The crest of the dragon's hoof print, engraved on the axe, was stained with blood and became Mobambi's eternal dream demon and shackles.

"Daddy——!"

(Too scared...... The legs are shaking, and I can't fight at all......)

(But...... ）

"Raven Help...... Everyone...... Let's go chase it together......"

"What did you say?"

"I mean, if we go and fight together, maybe we can do something."

Mobangby said to his fellow animals.

However, all the animals were too afraid of the enemy, and one by one they showed hesitant expressions.

"There's no need for that!"

"Bald parrots?"

Mobonbi turned around and saw the bald parrot standing behind him with a cane.

"Everyone, don't chase anyone."

"Why?"

"What is human is to humans, and what is animal is to animals, and they are not animals, they are just some alien humans, and there is no need to help them."

"Huh?"

Mobonby had no idea that a bald parrot would say such a thing.

……

Chopper ran desperately.

It transforms from a small human-beast into a four-legged reindeer, running across the grassland.

As it approached the swamp, it switched to its human form, grabbing the vines from the trees with its hooves that turned into two hands, and swaying from tree to tree like a monkey.

(Admiral Polusalino said that as a reindeer, I ate the fruit of a human being, so I retained the excellent physical strength of an animal, and at the same time had the excellent physical strength management ability of a human being...... As long as it's a normal pursuit, these villains can't do anything about me! I'm going to get them out of the way! )

Keep the horn-eaters and these villains away from the palace - that's Chopper's simple but effective plan.

Soon, there was a cliff ahead. Chopper turned into a beast again, jumping like an antelope in the middle of the rocks.

"Hey! Where did the little animal king flee? ”

Badulla and the others sat on the backs of a herd of horn-eaters lined up like armored vehicles, and had maintained a high-speed pursuit for quite a long time.

However, when the large army reached the canyon in the middle of Crown Island, the huge herd of horn-eaters was forced to stop.

Unlike the jungles and savannahs that preceded it, there were uneven rocky terrains everywhere, and the horn-eaters, who looked like heavy chariots, had nothing to do with the cliffs that stood in front of them.

"Shall we climb up from here too?"

It's not that you can't take a detour, but in this case, you will be run away by the prey - although her brain is not very good, Badulla has been hunting for the Draconians for many years after all, and she still has basic experience.

"Lord Badulla, let's chase after you like this!"

Hot Dog figured out a way to do it - he kept spinning his body, driving the Meteor Hammer to spin rapidly, and then, throwing it hard, the Meteor Hammer was fixed on the other side of the cliff.

"Good! Well done, hot dog! Ben-sama is here to help, too! Dexterous music! ”

The Badulla trio, who had received a dexterous amplification, grabbed the chain of the meteor hammer and began rock climbing.

"Hey! Where did you go? ”

"The footsteps of the horn-eaters are on the cliffs over there!"

Sanji and Zoro jumped over the dangerous zone of mutant cacti growing in front of them with thorns as sharp as the tip of a knife.

"Hey! You two! Don't run too fast! ”

Nami prepares to use Tsukibu, and Frankie prepares to use Jet-

"Hee-hee-hee-hee! Wait a minute! Let me! ”

"Luffy?"

It's like an elephant running over, and Luffy, who is full of food, can't wait to make a big move, let alone run wildly at this moment.

"Look at me, absorb! Oooo

Luffy stretched out his left and right hands, and black vortices with infinite attraction instantly appeared, devouring all of these cactus swarms that looked like anti-tank piles.

And yet—

"Hey! Luffy! ”

"Stupid! Control your idiot suction! ”

Sanji and Zoro, who had already jumped over, were also inevitably affected in the direction that Luffy devoured by the power of the Dark Fruit.

"Ahh Excuse me! ”

Good boy Luffy immediately stopped.

But as we all know, when the external force acting on the object is zero, the object keeps its state of motion unchanged because of inertia, so –

"Ah——!

！ ”

……

"Bald parrot, Chopper isn't the animal king?! What the hell is going on?! ”

On the banks of the river near the palace, in front of the wreckage of his father's ship, Mobangbi looked shocked.

"You just heard that, didn't you? Only the one who has the horns of the king is the next animal king! Chopper didn't have time to inherit the king's horns, so now we just need to choose a new animal king and let him inherit the horns of the unicorn lion. ”

That is to say. Isn't Chopper the animal king? ”

"Because there is no ceremony for the succession of the king's horn, it is not."

"But didn't it fall from the sky, as the legend says?"

"It was just an accident."

The bald parrot said vigorously.

"How is that possible? That...... No way! We have to help Chopper! Chopper was forced to become the animal king because we made a mistake, and now he is being used as a prey by the bad guys! ”

"Forget it, that's it."

"Bald parrots?"

"Those villains just think that Chopper is the animal king, and if they catch Chopper, they should be able to leave the island satisfied."

"How can we do that?! Isn't Chopper too pathetic? ”

“……”

"Isn't it because of Chopper that everyone's injuries are healed? Do you want to see death without salvation? ”

In the face of Mobangbi's questioning, the animals with bandages on their bodies all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Alright, let's go and assemble in the square in front of the palace! Go elect a new animal king! Then immediately launch the ceremony and hand over the king's horn to the new king in the temple! ”

"Bald parrots!"

"This is the will of the dead unicorn lion!"

The bald parrot said this, and then, flying in the direction of the palace, the other animals began to follow.

"Everybody......"

Only Mobonbi remained in place, clenching his fists. On the bank of the river there was a crown made of flowers that everyone had given to Chopper, but it was also trampled by the horn-eaters.

……

"Fluffy Duchy Musket Team, out of line!"

"Wang!

”

"The Fluffy Duchy Beluga Forest Warrior Regiment, out of the ranks!"

"Meow!

”

"The more ...... King's Bird, out of the ranks! ”

"Obey your orders, General Polusalino!"

"Garrot must give it his all! Mr. Polusalino! ”

- The location is the furry principality on the back of Zuowu, a gathering place for fur people. Polusalino, who had arrived here with the help of Bruno's Door Fruit, was counting the members of the action team that would be on his way to Crown Island with him in a moment.

Although the operation was carried out during the day, and the strength of the musketeers alone was sufficient, the Cat Viper sent some members of the Knights, including Pedlow, to put it mildly, a major event at stake for the future home of the Fur Clan, and its "Night King" had to help, even wishing to do it himself.

However, just as Polusalino gave these fur elites mission instructions and brief information-

"Hmm......"

A loud voice rang out, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground—it was the Lord of the Elephant who spoke.

Of course, except for Polusalino, none of the fur people present could understand what the Lord of the Elephants meant:

"Friend...... You're going...... Is that island......"

"Yes, you know there?"

Although Polusalino was a little surprised, he still replied to the elephant lord with his mind in his mind.

"On that island...... Qiao Yin Bo Yin said...... There was ......"
