One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Blackbeard Teach was very satisfied with the plan offered by the Devil Sheriff. Stepping on the corpse of a Shichibukai to obtain a Shichibukai spot would make the Blackbeard Pirates famous across the seas more than capturing some up-and-coming pirates.

The pirate who came out of the East Blue with a bounty of 30 million Berries—the Blackbeard Pirates originally had Luffy as their target, so this Straw Hat kid got lucky…

Chapter 39 Imminent Arrival on the Island

The Navy, the World Government, and pirates all have their eyes on this reindeer, and various forces have joined the struggle for Tony Tony Chopper, making Drum Island, which was once deserted and ignored, famous once again.

To elaborate, which side is closest to Drum Island?

The Straw Hat crew, sailing on the high seas, possessed the strength to secure second place and even contend for first, and had already reached the waters near Drum Island.

This kingdom of magnetic drums, where winter reigns year-round, never imagined that it would be filled with cherry blossom trees in the future. The future revealed by the light screen made the people on the ship believe it without a doubt.

"Our future ship's doctor is a reindeer, and he can transform so many times, that's so cool!"

Wearing winter clothes, Luffy bounced around on the deck, overjoyed to have gained a crewmate. With this reindeer doctor, the crew would no longer be afraid of getting sick.

"Mr. Chopper, his future achievements are truly limitless."

Icarum couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the information on the screen. How wonderful it would be if such a talent could be recruited to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The thought of a rebellion breaking out in the country caused this loyal subject, who was willing to risk his life for his king, a pain that felt like a knife to his heart.

Zoro, who was constantly practicing his swordsmanship outside the cabin, wasn't very interested in the information displayed on the light screen. If the reindeer doctor were to board the ship, he would take on the role of protecting it.

The other crew members are unreliable; they're either not strong enough or have bad personalities. We absolutely cannot let Luffy and Usopp, those two idiots, lead the little ship doctor astray.

Princess Vivi was still in the cabin taking care of Sanji and Nami. The two of them had definitely been bitten by some kind of poisonous insect in the small garden, and the bitten skin was starting to swell and turn red.

Sanji was unlucky enough to be bitten on the neck, while Nami was bitten on the right arm, causing both of them to contract an unknown disease. Their symptoms included a persistent high fever and poor mental state, including talking in their sleep.

Beneath the vast ocean where the Going Merry was sailing, the Straw Hat crew, desperate for medical help, failed to notice a pirate ship capable of underwater navigation following closely behind their course, heading towards Drum Island.

"I never imagined that such an extraordinary person would appear in my kingdom."

An ugly man with dark purple hair, a white hooded cape made of hippo skin, and a cylindrical tin plate under his chin sat in the captain's seat with his fat and bloated body, chewing on an iron knife. As a Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit user, these deadly weapons were his dessert.

"His Majesty is such an excellent doctor; we must take him under our control. The Drum Kingdom will surely prosper once again in your hands."

The guy who's flattering me is Jess, one of Wapol's henchmen. He's not the scientist who fires cannons in the game; he's a skilled archer dressed in a onesie clown suit.

“This reindeer looks familiar to me. Is it the one Dalton released?”

Cromarimon recalled the quack doctor with a broken brain, who was always accompanied by a reindeer monster. If it weren't for the stubborn Dalton stopping the reindeer from its death, it would have had no future and would never have appeared on the screen.

Is it possible that such a figure, who will play a pivotal role in the future of the maritime world, might retaliate against them?

After all, Hiruluk died from the gunfire of these people, and these people on the ship had the lives of their masters. This grudge could never be resolved. At this moment, Cromarimon would not believe that a little monster that was not human would put aside the hatred in its heart.

So, he decided to go all the way and offered his advice to his king: "Your Majesty, Tony Tony Chopper is a threat. We killed his master, and if he grows up, we will never have a good life. Even if he doesn't retaliate, his future pirate crew will. I suggest we kill him directly."

Valpo gripped the hilt of his knife, which he had left uneaten, and paused his swallowing to consider the suggestion made by his minister Cromarimon. This tyrannical monarch still had a brain.

Tony and Chopper have a blood feud, and this little monster can't be used by him unless he loses his memory. Handing him over to the World Government might bring him some benefits.

However, once such a talent gains a foothold in the World Government, he is very likely to launch a crazy revenge against Wapol's White Iron Pirates, and he dares not gamble on the test of human nature.

Even Dalton, the captain of the guard left to him by his father, became estranged from him after killing a quack doctor and eventually betrayed him, staying on Drum Island. It is unknown whether he was killed by the Blackbeard Pirates.

Ever since Wapol met Tony Tony Chopper, nothing good has happened to him in Drum Kingdom. It's as if he's destined to have bad luck with this monster. To make matters worse, Chopper is hanging out with the witch Kureha, whom he hates. It's like they're constantly hitting a nerve with him.

"Let's take care of them with the Straw Hat crew's ship first, then we'll settle the score with Kureha and that reindeer. Drum Island will always belong to Wapol."

Moo ha ha ha...

The unrestrained laughter completely disregarded Straw Hat Luffy, thinking, "How could the opponent be as powerful as the Blackbeard Pirates?"

The soldiers and medical staff knelt before Walpo, shouting "Long live His Majesty the King!!!"

Drum Island, Drum Peak Castle

Chopper, whose human-beast form is less than a meter tall, happily twirled around in front of Dr. Kureha. This reindeer, whose mind is still not very mature, was being praised by an outsider for the first time.

The joy and happiness on Chopper's face almost overflowed from his wide smile; the feeling of being recognized made the reindeer thoroughly enjoy himself.

"Doctor, I have finally developed a panacea in the future. I have not let Hiruluk down."

The future depicted on the screen, with Chopper possessing emotional intelligence as simple as Luffy's, was believed on the spot without any consideration of the consequences.

Kureha, the ageless witch, was not blinded by Chopper's joy. She maintained a somber expression throughout. She wasn't jealous of Chopper's future medical achievements; her student was indeed quite capable.

She also knew about the Rumble Ball. Chopper, being underage, couldn't keep things to himself and told her as soon as he developed it. At the time, the witch doctor didn't pay much attention to it.

It seems we underestimated the importance of this Rumble Ball. It completely overturns the Zoan-type Devil Fruits. But is this a good thing or a bad thing? It might be a good thing for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, but it must be a bad thing for Chopper, who has no ability to protect himself.

"Chopper, it looks like we'll have to leave here again and hide at our secret base."

When the Blackbeard Pirates wreaked havoc on Drum Island last time, the perceptive witch Kureha managed to evade the search by Doc Q, the plague doctor. Now, she's going to hide again with her apprentice.

Chopper was quite used to this life of hiding and running. He used to live with his adoptive father, Hiluluk, and was often chased and beaten. Sometimes, he would hide in one place for a long time.

"Yes, Doctor, we'll pack our things and leave now."

Kureha is his mentor and foster mother, and Chopper trusts her completely. His little head is a little confused, not understanding why the doctor is so nervous, or rather, afraid.

Isn't being recognized by the light screen a good thing?

Chapter 40 The Origin of the Name

As Drum Island became a battleground for various factions, the light screen that had been playing slideshows underwent a change, recounting to the world the tragic first half of Tony Tony Chopper's life...

Tony Tony Chopper, according to Nico's Chronicle, has the most detailed life story and is an indispensable figure in the Great Pirate Era. His story is widely recognized by later historians and is considered the most credible.

[The Nico Chronicles, written by Nico Robin's descendants, details the major events that occurred during the Great Pirate Era, along with the historical biographies of dozens of important figures. Last time, we covered a small portion of Buggy the Clown's biography; this time, we'll cover Chopper's biography.]

The renowned historian who compiled Nico's Chronicle did not shy away from mentioning that her ancestor, Nico Robin, was dubbed the "Devil's Child" by the World Government during the Great Pirate Era. Her ancestor was an archaeologist and, more importantly, a witness to history.

Witness how a world government that ruled the world for over 800 years gradually disintegrated and finally disappeared into the dust of history; watch it rise to prominence, watch it host lavish banquets, and watch its empire crumble.

[Today, the mystery of Tony Tony Chopper's origins will be officially revealed.]

[It is impossible to determine exactly which reindeer herd he was born into due to the passage of time; he was born in a wild reindeer herd on Drum Island.]

Because he was born with a blue nose, he was seen as an outsider by the reindeer herd and was not accepted by any of his kind. He was driven out by the herd leader when he was young, and the young Chopper was all alone and could only struggle in the snow and cold with his amazing willpower.

Unable to get food from the elders of the herd, a fawn dug through the snow with its tender hooves to find food for itself. Perhaps by divine intervention, it spotted a fruit growing on a sapling.

Hunger drove the young reindeer to seize the food before him, and he devoured the fruit in a few bites. He was so hungry that even though the fruit tasted terrible to him, it filled his stomach and helped him get through the snowy day.

[It was later learned that the fruit he ate was a Devil Fruit, the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, in the form of an ordinary human, and it was the worst Devil Fruit on the sea, bar none.]

Eating this fruit will allow one to develop intelligence equivalent to that of a human and gain human language abilities. However, it will not grant any special ability bonuses. It can also give animals human intelligence, so it is not as useful as giving it to animals that have already developed intelligence.

[This trash fruit fell into human hands after Chopper's death and was eaten by an unlucky guy. He didn't gain any power, only a slight increase in intelligence. The price was that he could never go to sea again, and he became a laughing stock in the town.]

The Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit gave rise to a large number of powerful seafarers in the Great Pirate Era, each of whom left a significant mark on history.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Buddha form.

Vice Admiral Helmeppo, Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Arhat form.

[Naval traitor Coby, Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Bodhisattva form]

[One Piece Eren, Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Normal Type Titan Form]

[The fox of the Kozuki family in Wano Country, a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Grand Ninja Form]

[Having given so many examples, I want to prove that the Human-Human Fruit that Chopper ate is useless to humans, and even worse, animals would find it repulsive.]

Without Tony Tony Chopper, the Human-Human Fruit would have remained a stain on history.

It wasn't the Devil Fruit that made Chopper who he is; it was Chopper who made the Human-Human Fruit who he is.

After Chopper ate this fruit, he couldn't control his transformation for a while, maintaining his Zoan-type human form, even though his true form is a reindeer.

[The reindeer's human form transforms into a two-meter-tall monster with brown fur and antlers. Chopper, in this form, tries to return to the reindeer herd but is attacked by even more of the reindeer elders.]

[From the reindeer herd's perspective, this half-human, half-reindeer monster was someone Chopper should never be allowed near the herd, and thus he forever lost the right to return to the reindeer herd.]

[Chopper was heartbroken at being abandoned by his own kind. After eating the Human-Human Fruit, he could now speak human language. A childish thought popped into his head: since the reindeer herd wouldn't accept him, surely humans would, since he had now become a "human."]

He remained half-human, half-deer, and arrived at the human settlement on Drum Island, imagining that humans would accept him. However, the reality was that countless guns were pointed at him. Humans were extremely xenophobic creatures; they couldn't even accept beautiful creatures like mermaids, let alone such a bizarre monster.

Bullets rained down on Chopper. In his human form, Chopper, still made of flesh and blood, could only defend his vitals while fleeing deeper into the snowy forest. This led to the legend of the blue-nosed snowman on Drum Island, where disobedient children would be eaten by the snowman on snowy days, becoming a childhood nightmare for many.

Although he ultimately escaped the humans' pursuit and avoided being skinned and eaten, Chopper, in despair, collapsed on the snow. He was severely injured and had lost his reason to live. The reindeer herd did not accept him, and the humans attacked him. He was caught between two evils and had no sense of belonging. This made his young heart think that dying in the snow might be a relief.

If a quack doctor hadn't happened to pass by, the world would have been missing a renowned physician.

[Hiruluk, this quack doctor, does not deserve to be remembered in history. He rarely cured his patients in his lifetime, and most of his illnesses were worsened. Fortunately, there are no records of him causing any deaths.]

[Fate is so coincidental. In the midst of the swirling snow, Hiluluk encountered a half-human, half-deer monster lying on the snow. The creature was severely wounded, and blood was flowing from its wounds, staining the entire snowfield red.]

He stepped forward to help the other man, but when Chopper saw the human appear and the other man pull out a tranquilizer gun that looked like a musket, he assumed that the other man was going to hurt him. Fueled by the resentment of being attacked by a human with a musket, he kept punching the other man. He didn't hold back and quickly beat Hiluluk until his body was covered in bruises.

After venting his anger, Chopper noticed something strange: the human he had beaten was still treating Chopper's gunshot wound, even though he had treated him like that. To gain the reindeer's trust, Hiluluk stripped naked in the snow to show that he had no malicious intent and no weapon that could harm the reindeer.

[Not understanding why this human wanted to save him, Chopper didn't resist anymore and let Hiruluk bandage his wounds.]

[With the help of a stranger, Chopper saw hope for survival, and with the powerful regenerative abilities of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the wound healed quickly.]

[The reindeer, with nowhere to go, was taken in and cared for by Hiruluk. It ate hot food for the first time in his home and experienced the warmth and kindness of human kindness for the first time. The reindeer shed tears of gratitude and opened its heart to humans for the first time.]

Hiluluk became the reindeer's actual adoptive father. The little reindeer could walk upright on its hind legs and talk, but it didn't have a name and was difficult to communicate with in daily life. Based on the fact that it had antlers on its head that could break trees, it was named Tony Tony Chopper.

[A name that will be recorded in human history was born from the mouth of a quack doctor.]
