Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"fate?"

Rocks asked in surprise, "Ms. Kureha also knows about the Medicine-Medicine Fruit?"

You can glean a lot from what the other person said...

"Ah, that was over a hundred years ago. My teacher was a user of the Medicine-Medicine Fruit..."

Kureha clearly didn't intend to say much about it, only mentioning it briefly.

Then her gaze swept over everyone and landed on Xiao Yi. Her nose twitched slightly: "You have a unique medicinal scent. You must be the one who wants to become my student, right?"

"Not bad, at such a young age he can serve as the ship's doctor and has been noticed by such an important person."

"Your name is Xiao Yi, right? I'll take you on as my disciple."

"I will teach you the medical knowledge I have gained throughout my life!"

Even if someone is not skilled in medicine, as long as they are a user of the Medicine-Medicine Fruit, they are destined to become the most powerful doctor in the future.

Devil Fruit powers are irrational.

Once the medicinal fruits are developed to a certain extent, the research on their pharmacology and medicinal properties can be omitted.

You can tell at a glance what kind of illness a medicine is suitable for.

Having eaten the medicinal fruit, she became a natural-born doctor, so she naturally didn't mind teaching him medical skills.

Another point is that she doesn't feel she can refuse.

A "sea emperor" has personally come to our door and shown such great sincerity; to refuse would be to disrespect him...

It's true that she lived a long life, but no one will live longer than themselves.

She doesn't want to lie in a coffin right now!

Little Yi was very sensible and immediately bowed respectfully to Kureha, saying in a clear voice, "Greetings, Teacher! Little Yi will strive to learn medicine from you!"

"good."

Kureha was very satisfied with Xiao Yi's reaction and attitude, and nodded with a smile: "Although you probably won't stay here for long, I will spare no effort to teach you medical skills during this time!"

This little girl is a promising talent.

Unfortunately, they probably won't stay here for long.

Otherwise, she really wanted to train him to become the world's best doctor...

Lox said politely, "I'm entrusting my little Eil to you, Ms. Kureha."

Kureha raised an eyebrow at Lockes: "You're not as fierce as the newspapers portray you. You're actually quite polite, and it's not an act."

"Hmm, but the description of him as a monster is quite fitting..."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Lockes shrugged.

There are very few people who dare to speak to him in a teasing tone these days; no wonder he's lived to be over 130 years old...

"Of course I'm praising you. In all my years, this is the first time I've seen someone with such strength at your age."

As people age, they become wiser. Kureha has lived for so long, and her mastery of Observation Haki is quite formidable.

One can clearly perceive whether a person is strong or weak...

Within the body of "Blackwing Demon" Lox, a terrifying power is hidden.

Suddenly, Kureha burst out laughing, "Hahaha, my furry kid always says he's a monster."

"But compared to you, he's just... well, a pet, I guess?"

"..."

Mentioning Chopper, Rocks gave Kureha a strange look: "Speaking of which... your furry kid is being chased, are you really okay with not doing anything about it?"

"what?"

Kureha was taken aback.

The Observation Haki radiated outwards.

Sensing something, she smiled nonchalantly: "Just some small fry trying to find me, nothing I can do to them."

Nami's Observation Haki, which allows her to sense radio waves, also spread out, and she discovered the situation over there. She said to Kureha, "But he seems scared? Like he's afraid of guns..."

Kureha pursed her lips: "If he can't overcome his fear, he'll never grow up."

Nami said, "But for a scared child, what he needs most right now is protection from his parents, right?"

Kureha froze: "Hmm...you seem to be right?"

“Ms. Kureha, you don’t seem to be suited to taking care of children.”

Rocks was speechless and said to Nami beside him, "Nami, go and bring him back."

"Oh."

Nami responded.

Then, with a crackling sound, it turned into lightning and disappeared.

Then, a crackling sound of electricity came from not far away, and the faint screams of someone could be heard...

Only a dozen seconds passed.

Nami walked over, carrying a strange, furry creature that was less than a meter long in her arms.

Judging from the strange creature's somewhat bristled fur, it must have been shocked by lightning as well, and it even had a terrified expression on its face...

Nami stroked the terrified, furry creature, her face full of curiosity: "Is this a tanuki? Is it a tanuki?"

"It's so soft, fluffy, and warm!"

"It's not a raccoon dog, it's a reindeer!"

Upon hearing someone call him a tanuki, Chopper immediately reacted.

He roared at the top of his lungs, "Antlers! I have antlers! I'm a reindeer, not a raccoon!"

Nami was startled by the sudden voice of the furry creature in her arms: "Huh? Huh? The tanuki can talk?"

"I already said it's a reindeer!"

Chopper was furious and broke free from Nami's embrace.

Upon landing, his body transformed into a burly, hairy man.

Chopper revealed a fierce look, staring at everyone: "Speaking of which, who are you people, and why are you here?"

"What do you intend to do to Doctor Doriel?"

Having just been shocked by the electric shock from this woman, Chopper was stunned. Only now did he realize the situation...

Why are there so many people here at Doctor Dori's place?

Could he be one of Walpo's subordinates?

Have they found where they live?

Seeing Chopper transformed into human form, Nami was even more astonished: "Wow, he went from a tanuki to a human, what a... what a strange creature!"

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Chopper's reaction to the word "tanuki" was comparable to Buggy's reaction to Red Nose. He turned to Nami, baring his teeth, and said, "I'm a reindeer! Not a tanuki!"

"Remember this: I am a monster, and you'd better not lay a hand on Doctor Doriel!"

"Or I'll eat you all! I'm a man-eating monster!"

What's going on with these people?

His primal instincts told him that these people were terrifying, very terrifying.

But for the sake of Doctor Doriel, he absolutely cannot back down!

Seeing this, Kureha said to Chopper, "Chopper, they are guests, not bad people, they won't hurt us."

"really?"

Upon hearing Kureha's words, Chopper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As if unwilling to maintain this form, Chopper changed his body again after confirming there was no danger.

It turned into a fluffy "raccoon dog" that was less than a meter tall.

Yes, very cute.

Besides Beli, Nami also quite likes furry creatures: "You said it wasn't a tanuki, but this is a tanuki!"

"And it's a raccoon dog with horns, but it's actually quite cute!"

"I already said it's a reindeer, what's wrong with you? Can't you understand me?"

Chopper was furious.

Does this woman not understand human speech?

But they actually said he was cute?

Aside from Dr. Hiluluk and Dr. Doriel, this is the first time anyone has ever called him cute!

"And...and there's nothing cute about it! No, not at all!"

Chopper became a little shy and awkward after being praised.

Her body involuntarily began to sway, but she stubbornly insisted, "Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy, you jerk!!"

"Hehehe, this is so interesting!"

Nami found Chopper's behavior amusing and asked with a smile, "You must have eaten some kind of Devil Fruit, right?"

"Is it a tanuki that ate the reindeer fruit, or a reindeer that ate the tanuki-reindeer fruit?"

There are birds on the sky island that have eaten horse-horse fruits.

It's quite normal to find tanuki that ate deer nuts on the Grand Line.

But why can it talk?
