One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

The light screen recounted Chopper's past, accompanied by video footage. The native inhabitants of the One Piece world were speechless with shock at one of the accompanying messages.

The World Government has actually collapsed in the future, becoming just a fleeting footnote in history?! How is that even possible?! What is the Navy doing?!

The majority of people on this planet are ordinary civilians who are used to the rule of the world government. A flawed world order is better than no order at all.

Before Roger started the Great Pirate Era, the world wasn't in such chaos. But since his death, the number of pirates has increased exponentially, and the uncontrollable chaos has caused immense suffering to ordinary people.

Some people have drawn parallels to the dark ages mentioned in the last light screen, suggesting that the collapse of the world government might be related to Bucky the Clown. This heavy future weighs on the hearts of those who yearn for peace, like a mountain.

The sound of turning pages came from the light screen, and that familiar, magnetic voice continued to narrate the first half of the life of the Zoan God.

[The years Chopper spent with Hiluluk were among the most cherished memories of his life, which he often recounted to his two disciples. Because he mentioned it so frequently, his disciples had memorized these memories, leading to many humorous situations.]

Hiluluk is an absolute quack; he has absolutely no medical skills. His enthusiasm for patients is actually a punishment for those who are ill. The only patient he has successfully cured is Tony Tony Chopper.

After his reputation as a quack doctor spread throughout Drum Island, no one sought his treatment anymore. Even though the current King Wapol expelled many doctors, patients wouldn't go to Chopper's adoptive father for treatment, fearing they'd be killed by this old man.

Hiluluk would always drag Chopper along to treat patients for free without being invited, but every time he would mess things up and worsen the patients' conditions, getting chased and beaten by the patients' families, and living a life of uncertainty about where their next meal would come from. Even so, Chopper was still very happy.

Chopper received a pink hat, a gift from Hiluluk, which he wore throughout his sea voyages with his pirate crew, never forgetting Hiluluk's kindness.

[His ability to be accepted as a son by a human, despite being a talking reindeer monster, demonstrates Hiluluk's compassion and magnanimity, which later influenced Tony Chopper's behavior.]

[When you want to achieve something great, you often have to go through life-and-death trials. Chopper's good days were about to end. One day, Hiruluk kicked him out of the house, forbidding him from returning and even punching and kicking him, telling him to get out.]

After spending several years together, Chopper knew there must be something going on behind the scenes. Hiluluk, this gentle man, was still a bit lacking in his ability to play a villain; he couldn't even fool a reindeer.

Chopper secretly followed his adoptive father, Hiruluk, who had gone to another part of the island to find a witch doctor, Kureha, to diagnose his illness. It turned out that his adoptive father only had about ten days to live and had contracted an incurable disease that even Kureha couldn't cure. This ageless witch was already the best doctor on Drum Island.

Chopper, who had a habit of reading, had once seen in a medical book the ingredient for a panacea, the Amiodarone mushroom. He resolutely packed his bags on a deer and went up Drum Mountain to collect herbs to cure his adoptive father's illness.

The process of gathering herbs was full of twists and turns and hardships. Along the way, he even encountered the obstruction of his own reindeer. After a life-or-death struggle, Chopper finally succeeded in finding the Amisho mushroom.

When he reappeared before Hiruluk, Chopper, the little reindeer, was covered in wounds. He had paid the price with a broken leg and severed antlers. He wanted his adoptive father to live.

He wanted to become Hiluluk's apprentice, and he also imagined fighting like a pirate, experiencing a rich and colorful adventure life, instead of being trapped on Drum Island for the rest of his life.

Hiluluk held the badly injured Chopper in his arms. In that moment, he realized that reindeer could also become doctors, and that Chopper would definitely become the greatest doctor in the future.

The Ami mushrooms that Hiluluk painstakingly gathered were turned into a soup by him, which he drank in front of Tony Tony Chopper. The little reindeer thought he had cured his adoptive father, but he became the only patient he ever treated who died.

[The Ami mushroom is highly poisonous; one cannot survive even a day after ingesting it. Hiluluk knew this would be the outcome, but to prevent Chopper's efforts from being in vain, he still drank the entire soup made of the poisonous mushroom. Dying a few days or a day made no difference to him.]

Before Hiluluk died, he had two wishes to fulfill. The first was to find a good teacher for the little reindeer Chopper. The witch Kureha became his first choice. He knelt before this woman who was over a hundred years old and begged her to take Chopper as her apprentice, because his adopted son's talent in medicine should not be wasted.

[Secondly, he had devoted decades to researching cherry blossom experiments. He implored the witch Kureha to continue the unfinished cherry blossom experiments, as Hiluluk's version could not make the entire Drum Kingdom bloom with cherry blossoms, and it was necessary for future researchers to continue the research.]

With a final regret, Hiluluk headed towards the castle of the Drum Kingdom. King Wapol had spread false rumors that his twenty personal doctors had contracted a strange disease and urgently needed to be treated there. This cruel king was fishing, purely trying to lure Hiluluk into a trap.

When he arrived at King Drum King's castle, he saw the doctor beside King Walpo, who was also standing in the snowstorm, none of whom appeared to be sick. He realized he had been deceived, but with no patients appearing, the quack doctor smiled with relief in front of the gun.

He knew the country was sick. Healing the body and healing the heart were two completely different treatments. Hiruluk knew his death was imminent. He sat on the snow, opened his medical kit, and raised his glass high towards the sky. Today, he would try to heal the country.

Kureha found Chopper with the blue nose and learned that he had picked Amiodar mushrooms for Hiluluk to eat. Enraged, the witch beat the little reindeer and scolded him for his lack of medical knowledge, urging him not to treat patients.

When he learned that the panacea he had painstakingly collected was actually highly poisonous, he went from disbelief to utter mental collapse in less than a minute. Despite his severe injuries, he went to find Hiluluk. Upon reaching the summit by climbing the cable, he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.

The screen switched to the scene of Hiluluk's death.

The old man in the top hat raised his wine glass and said to the crowd opposite him who had raised their weapons: "When do you think a person dies? When their heart is pierced by a pistol? No! When they have a terminal illness? No! After drinking a soup made with poisonous mushrooms? Still no!"

"But when I'm forgotten by the world, I've actually lived a really good life!"

An explosion erupted in front of Drum Castle, and Chopper witnessed firsthand the first human who had been kind to him being swallowed up in the gunfire and the flash of explosions...

Chapter 42 Enlightenment

The screen played Hiluluk's last moments before his death. It turned out that the old man had been gone for so many years, but even now, hearing his voice and smile again, Chopper was already in tears, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

He tried to hide his tears with his hat, but the sobbing grew louder and louder, making it hard for Dr. Kureha to ignore him. To become a man, these were all necessary trials.

Kureha was also affected by the atmosphere, her nose tingled and tears welled up in her eyes, "I really didn't expect that this old guy would say such cool things."

Kureha has known Hiluluk for many years. She has been actively fulfilling the two requests he made for her before his death. Chopper is now skilled enough to treat patients, and the cherry blossoms are ready to bloom all over Drum Island. They are waiting for the right moment for a grand farewell.

The images on the light screen continued.

Chopper witnessed Hiluluk's magnificent farewell, and enraged, his eyes widened and he lost his mind, transforming into a two-meter-tall human form, ready to rush towards Wapol to avenge his adoptive father.

Dalton used his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability to transform into a black bull, blocking the reindeer monster in front of him who was only looking to die.

With his severely injured and weakened body, Chopper was no match for Dalton. Dalton pinned him to the snow and restrained the monster that was about to go out of control.

"No one else can sacrifice for this country today. Go back now; this was Hiluluk's last wish."

Tears welled up in the black bull's eyes. Dalton, the captain of the Drum Kingdom's guard, had always disapproved of the current king, Wapol's, persecution of his people and his expulsion and killing of doctors. Hiluluk's courageous death stirred the conscience of this hero.

"You're no match for the people behind you. Charging forward is suicide. You'd better leave now."

Dalton's tears fell on the reindeer's face, awakening the beast's reason. Chopper understood everything and stopped resisting the captain of the guard.

The blue-nosed snowman gathered Hiruluk's last belongings and left on the rope. Dalton watched the reindeer leave, not only to prevent anyone behind from harming the beast, but also to fulfill Hiruluk's last wish: the quack doctor could not die in vain; he had to save the country on his own.

Chopper, barely a meter tall in his human-beast form, waved Hiluluk's pirate flag in the snowstorm. Tears welled up on his face as he stood before Dr. Kureha, shouting, "Teach me! Teach me how to be a doctor! Please, I want to be a doctor! I want to become a panacea, a doctor who can cure any disease, even the diseases of a nation, because there is no incurable disease in this world!"

The short video titled "The Death of Hiluluk" ended, and the narration returned to the screen.

At this moment, Tony Tony Chopper made a grand vow: the path of medicine is arduous, and he will dedicate his life to it.

Although Chopper ate the Human-Human Fruit, which is considered the worst Devil Fruit, only granting him human-like thinking abilities, his acquired wisdom was all gained through learning. This moment of enlightenment is entirely due to his own efforts.

[Compared to the Fleet Admiral who ate the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Buddha form, although he inherited the wisdom of the Buddha, he spent his entire life caught in a tug-of-war between the World Government and the Navy. Later, he was unable to fulfill what he believed to be justice and eventually gave up and withdrew from the front line of the Navy. It is truly ironic that he could transform into a Buddha but did not achieve enlightenment.]

[A reindeer that ate the Human-Human Fruit gained enlightenment on this day, giving it a perfect start to the most exciting chapter of its life.]

[Dalton was imprisoned by King Wapol for releasing Chopper. Inspired by Hiluluk, this hero will overthrow the previous king's rule and lead the Drum Kingdom to a bright future. The Drum Kingdom will then be renamed the Sakura Kingdom, and the people will elect him as the new king.]

Under his rule, doctors who had been expelled from the Sakura Kingdom returned to their homeland and helped Dalton establish a superpower in medicine. Because the Heavenly Gold was paid in full and on time, the World Government recognized the Sakura Kingdom as a member state, replacing the original Drum Kingdom, and granting it all the benefits of a member state.

[King Wapol was unpopular, not only rejected by his own people, but also doubted by the World Government about his continued payment of Celestial Gold. This tyrannical king thus exited the stage of history.]

[After comparing numerous historical records and chronicles, Wapol never appeared again. Perhaps after being defeated by the Straw Hat crew, he died somewhere unknown. Such a tragic end for a king was all his own doing.]

Tony Tony Chopper served as the Straw Hat Pirates' ship's doctor. After completing his world voyage, he returned to Drum Island to practice medicine. During this time, Dalton repeatedly requested that the throne be passed to Chopper, so that this famous reindeer doctor could become the king of the Sakura Kingdom.

Chopper repeatedly refused Dalton's offer of the throne. He reasoned that if he became king, the reindeer would have no time to treat the sick, as he would be overwhelmed by the complexities of state affairs. Besides, Dalton was an excellent king and deeply loved by the people of the Sakura Kingdom.

Dalton finally understood that Chopper's ambitions lay elsewhere. He made another request: to bestow the surname Tony Tony upon the next king, so that future generations would remember Tony Tony Chopper's contributions to the nation and to the sea.

The final record in the chronicle states that Dalton, the King of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, succumbed to illness due to overwork and died at the age of 55. Afterwards, with Chopper's opinion, the people elected Dalton's daughter, Fanny, as the new queen. The name Tony Tony Fanny appeared in history books for the first time.

[A few years after Hiluluk's death, Chopper diligently studied medicine under the witch Kureha, awaiting the arrival of his destined one, who turned out to be Luffy and his crew, who had just entered the Grand Line.]

The Straw Hat Pirates, passing through Little Garden, thwarted Baroque Works' plot and rescued the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry and Brogy. However, the crew members were bitten by a poisonous insect called Kasquia.

The venomous insect *Caschia* became extinct a hundred years ago. If a human is bitten by it, they will develop symptoms of "Caschia fever," which, during a five-day incubation period, includes high fever, myocarditis, meningitis, and arteritis.

[If Captain Luffy hadn't carried his crew through the snow and wind to climb Drum Mountain with his bare hands, found Chopper and Kureha to heal them, Monkey D. Luffy's dream of becoming the Pirate King would have ended on Drum Island if he hadn't lost his navigator.]

Chapter 43 The King

Hiluluk is the type of person who can't resist seeing a patient, and the same goes for the children he raises. When Chopper learned that the Straw Hat crew wanted to see him for a medical checkup, even as a trainee doctor, he had to step forward. Patients are of utmost importance to him.

"Dr. Kureha, let's not leave. If the light screen isn't deceiving us, Straw Hat Luffy and his crew need my treatment. If we hide now, it would be irresponsible of us to save their lives."

The witch Kureha almost laughed in anger upon hearing this. She slapped the reindeer's little head and said irritably, "It's not your place to lecture me now. Wait until you achieve your future status on the light screen. I was the one who taught you medicine, yet you devoted so much time to introducing Hiluluk. How biased!"

"Hehe, are you embarrassed?" Chopper was flattered by the light screen, which elevated his status as the future King Dalton, making the reindeer a little embarrassed.

"The light screen didn't indicate when they would arrive, so let's wait here. We must have owed you something in our past lives."

Kureha pulled up a chair and sat down. She wasn't going to leave. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, she would stay with her only apprentice and wonder what his ultimate fate would be. She hoped the light screen could reveal more. The Luminous Shiki was quite attractive to a doctor.

She knew that Chopper wanted to become a pirate because of Hiluluk's influence, but the little reindeer didn't understand that becoming a pirate also came at a great price.

The Drum Island incident has been exposed, and Chopper is now working as a ship's doctor on a pirate ship—the kind of pirate crew that can circumnavigate the globe in the future. It's practically an open declaration that Luffy is the future Pirate King. He's truly an extraordinary guy.

The surname Kureha, Monchi, sounds familiar. I saw it in a newspaper many years ago, but I can't quite place it right now.

Kureha's name was clearly written on the screen. She was Chopper's first master, so it was inevitable that she would be implicated by this little apprentice. However, this witch didn't care about such things. She had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of storms.

She was alive before Pirate King Roger became famous, and she is still alive after Pirate King Roger died. This is the power of time. Kureha has lived for more than a hundred years and can see through everything.

The outer waters of Cigu Island

The Straw Hat crew, aboard the small boat Going Merry, could already see a winter island in the distance. The last message revealed on the screen made everyone on board feel that their lives were in grave danger.

"You bunch of stinking men, get back to rowing! I don't want to die! You can't go anywhere without me, so row harder!"

Nami, wrapped in a blanket, stood outside the cabin, once again transforming into a terrifying and wicked woman, urging the other crew members to work harder. The navigator saw the symptoms described on the screen, which corresponded perfectly to the symptoms that were erupting in her body, and the fear of death lingered in her heart.

"Nami is terrifying. Luckily she's sick, otherwise she would have gotten beaten up again."

Usopp, who was rowing frantically, took a break and punched his captain, yelling, "Stop talking nonsense and row harder!"

The Going Merry was a small boat propelled by sails, with no other external power source, relying solely on human effort for acceleration. Zoro and Icarus joined in rowing.

Eren originally wanted to transform into a Titan and push the ship directly to the shore, which would save the most time. However, this plan was rejected by everyone, who told him to conserve his energy and transform into a Titan when he reached the shore.

Transforming into the Attack Titan and running on land, faster than any short-legged creature on the ship, he could lead the patients to Drum Peak in the shortest time.

With everyone working together, they steered the Going Merry to shore, where a group of armed men were waiting for them. As soon as the pirates showed their faces, they were pointed at by more than a dozen muskets.

Why are pirates coming to our island?

"You'd better leave right now, or we'll start shooting!"

"Why waste words with them? Just shoot! There isn't a single good person among pirates."
