[The Going Merry sails on the vast sea~~]
["Oh no!! Usopp is sick!!"]
[Sanji rushes out from the galley, his face looking terrible!!!]
[Currently it's mealtime. Sanji, having finished cooking, went to call everyone to eat. However, as soon as he reached the crow's nest, he saw Usopp lying on the ground. He touched his forehead; he was obedient... burning up!!]
[Sanji quickly moves Usopp into a room~~]
[A short while later, everyone gathers together.]
[After diagnosis... the result is... None of them know medicine at all~~]
Usopp: "Waaah!! Am I not sick with 'Can't-Go-To-That-Island-Disease'? How did it become me?"
Looking at Usopp lying weakly on the bed in the video, his face completely pale~
Nami: "Aaah~~ That side must have been bitten by poisonous insects!! But this time, I was lucky over there; I actually wasn't bitten by any poisonous insects~"
Nami remembered that when she left Little Garden before, it was because she was bitten by a poisonous insect, and her body then carried bacteria from the prehistoric era, which led to her falling seriously ill!!
Fortunately, she received medical treatment in time. Otherwise, according to what Dr. Kureha said, if it had been one more day, she would have been beyond saving!!
Nico Robin: "Nami over there is a Smooth-Smooth Fruit user, you know. Poisonous insects can't even get a hold of her~"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "That's right, poisonous insects can't even stand on Usopp's body; they just slide right off!"
[Spread out on the table~~]
["There's an island here. Looking at the distance, if we go at full speed, we can reach it in two days at most."]
[Nami points to an island on the nautical chart, her expression serious as she speaks.]
[Although Nami also knows some common knowledge about hygiene and medical care, it's limited to some common minor ailments. But even she doesn't know what kind of illness Usopp has, which means Usopp's problem is very serious!]
[Nami knows she can't wait any longer; she has to quickly find a real doctor to treat Usopp!]
["This is Drum Island... That's right, going to this place is the right choice."]
[Buggy's head floats directly above the nautical chart. When he sees the name of this island, his eyes instantly light up. "This place is called the Tin-Plate Kingdom!!! It's said to be a super-developed country in terms of medical technology!!" Going there will definitely be useful!]
[Although Buggy has never been here, he heard of this country's great name a long time ago, back in 19...!!]
["Alright!! I'll go speed up the ship!"]
[Having confirmed their destination, Luffy shows no hesitation and immediately goes to the stern of the ship.]
[He braces his feet on both sides of the ship, then sucks in a deep breath!]
["Gum-Gum... Propeller!!"]
[He had used this move to save himself from the whirlpool when he first set out to sea~]
[As his belly expands, he then fiercely blows it out...]
[The Going Merry's speed increases by a large margin~~]
[In less than two days, the Going Merry arrives at Drum Island~~]
["Halt!! Who are you people!"]
[As soon as they arrived at the port of Drum Island, large crowds appeared on both sides of the port.]
[The leader is the current acting king of Drum Island, Dalton!]
["Hello! We are here to seek medical treatment. A companion of ours is seriously ill and needs immediate medical attention. Is this the Tin-Plate Kingdom, renowned for its advanced medical technology?"]
[Nami quickly asks.]
[As such a sweet-looking young lady, speaking so gently...]
[Usually, as long as they're not brain-damaged, people will give her face~~]
["Ah... so you're here for medical treatment..." Dalton, seeing them as a group of unarmed young men and women, and not pirates, signals for his men to lower their guns, then asks.]
["Phew... renowned for its advanced medical technology..."]
[Listening to Nami's words, Dalton takes a deep breath, looks at Nami and the others, and says, "What you're talking about was in the past... Now, in our country... there's only one doctor left..."]
["Uncle! Even one doctor is fine! Can you let him treat our companion? We can just wait here."]
[Luffy comes to Nami's side and looks at Dalton.]
["Sigh... I'll take you into the village first...! As for seeking medical treatment, I'll tell you slowly on the way..."]
[Seeing how anxious they were about their companion, Dalton ponders for a moment and then makes a decision~~]
Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh~~? How did we get in so smoothly?"
Luffy remembered that when his group first arrived at Drum Island, people came up and drove them away!
Then it led to a small conflict, causing Princess Vivi to get shot~
They are clearly the same people, so why are they treated so differently?
Usopp: "Exactly! This isn't reasonable!!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Damn Dalton! I think he's just a lecher!"
Nico Robin: "That's not right... I feel it's mainly because Luffy and his group over there are not pirates! The Going Merry isn't flying a pirate flag, so those people naturally wouldn't have a bad impression of them."
Tony Tony Chopper: "That's right! At that time, the Drum Kingdom had just been harmed by the Blackbeard Pirates~ so the entire country was celebrating the pirates~"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah... so that's how it is~~"
[Buggy, Zoro, and Sanji stay on the ship, while Luffy follows Usopp, who is with Dalton, to a village at the foot of a snowy mountain~~]
[Because this is a snowy country, Luffy and Nami follow closely behind.]
[Dalton explains to everyone how Wapol drove out the doctors in the country, how he used doctors to control the entire kingdom... and the events of the Blackbeard Pirates half a year ago.]
[Listening to this story, the justice-filled Nami is so angry she waves her little fists: "To control the civilians, he actually drove out all the other doctors! This bastard is truly worse than a beast!!!"]
[After Luffy finishes listening to the story, he doesn't think much about it, but instead asks, "That Dr. Kureha you mentioned, where does she live? Can you take me to find her? Our companion is very ill and needs immediate treatment..."]
["This..."]
[Dalton sighs again. He walks to the window and points to the highest peak among the iron-gray mountains outside, "Dr. Kureha lives in the castle on that highest peak."]
["Alright! Let's go!!" As soon as he lands, Luffy immediately puts Usopp, who is lying on the bed, on his back. He can feel Usopp's aura weakening~]
[Seeing Luffy so anxious, Dalton quickly reminds him: "Right, that old lady Kureha has an eccentric personality. Sometimes she comes down the mountain to drink, but she charges very high prices for treating people. You'd best be mentally prepared~"]
[Luffy nods his head: "Mm, thank you, Uncle. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"]
[Dalton is stunned for a moment, then shakes his head: "There's nothing else to pay attention to."]
[Luffy and the others come outside the door and borrow two snowboards.]
[Luffy carries Usopp on his back, then steps onto a snowboard.]
[Nami puts on the other snowboard~]
[Seeing the two in this situation, Dalton turns pale with shock: "Waaah!! You can't be thinking of going up the mountain like this, can you!?"]
["That's right~~"]
[Luffy smiles slightly, then looks at Nami: "Nami, it's your turn!"]
["Mm! Don't worry!! I'm very capable!"]
[Nami pushes off with her feet, and the snowboard activates!!]
[The moment she pushes off, Luffy's right hand instantly stretches out, wrapping around Nami's slender waist, while his other hand also stretches out, firmly securing Usopp on his back...]
["Huh!! What are they trying to do...?"]
["Don't tell me they want a little girl to pull two men using a snowboard?"]
["I've seen sled dogs, but I've never seen a sled girl...!!"]
["Are they crazy!! A single girl pulling two men, can't even slide, let alone go uphill!"]
["Scumbag! Truly doesn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman~~"]
[...]
[The surrounding people watch Luffy and Nami's flashy and nonsensical operation, each and every one of them feeling incredulous~~]
[However, the next moment, chunks of snow on the ground are instantly kicked up everywhere...]
[Nami just pushes off with her little foot, whoosh!!ââ]
[The "Sled Girl" instantly disappears from everyone's sight...]
[Disappearing with her, naturally, are Luffy and Usopp~]
["Wha... what's going on?"]
["Is that girl a monster?"]
["It must be!! Otherwise, how could she have such great strength!!"]
["One push of her foot and three people vanished... if that foot landed on me, I reckon I'd fall apart~"]
[...]
Usopp: "Hahaha!! Look at their astonished faces, it's quite amusing~~"
Nami: "Aaah!!! But snowboarding is really useful, and it's super fun! So much fun!"
Alvida: "How about when I marry Luffy, I take you to play together?"
Nami: "..."
Borphy Hancuck: "Bastard! This Queen does not approve!!"
[Under the power of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, the snowboards under Nami and Luffy have absolutely zero friction!! ââ]
[Nami controls the direction in the front, constantly weaving through the forest, having a blast~]
[Luffy occasionally gives a push from behind, providing them with a huge propulsive force...]
[You know, under zero friction, every increase in propulsive force is amplified~~]
[Although Tin-Plate Mountain is high and steep, under Nami's "Snowboarding Technique," it's simply like flat ground~~]
[The villagers over there are still on the ground, mouths agape in astonishment... while this side has already reached the mountaintop...]
[Just as they reach the mountaintop, four eyes meet two eyes...]
[A sturdy reindeer is looking at Luffy and Nami~]
Tony Tony Chopper: "Waaah...!!! It's finally my turn to appear~~!! Will Luffy take me with him~~"
Nami: "Of course! Chopper is so cute!"
Franky: "They're also lacking a ship doctor over there, Chopper will definitely join the crew."
[Chopper only glances at Luffy and Nami for less than a second before immediately breaking his resolve~]
[He screams and runs towards the castle~]
[Hey!!]
[Luffy's right hand unwraps from Nami's slender waist, then in an instant, stretches out and grabs Chopper...]
[Hey!]
[The arm retracts, instantly pulling Chopper back~]
["Hello, we're looking for Dr. Kureha. May I ask if she is in this place?" Luffy asks.]
["Ah... you're looking for Dr. Kureha? But she's out..."]
[Pulled by Luffy for a bit, Chopper scratches his head~~]
[Hearing this, Luffy's face instantly becomes anxious: "Excuse me..., when will she be back approximately?? Is there any way to contact her?? My companion is really seriously ill!!"]
[Luffy can clearly feel Usopp's physical condition getting worse and worse...]
[Chopper is actually very afraid of meeting people, but when he notices Usopp's condition, he instantly overcomes his fear of people and grabs Usopp's wrist to check his pulse!!!]
["Damn it!! His condition is a bacterial infection, it's already spreading towards his brain!"]
[With this pulse check, Chopper immediately becomes serious. He looks at Luffy, "Quick, bring him to the medical room!!"]
[Saying this, Chopper turns and walks towards the castle.]
["Huh?" Nami opens her mouth slightly, stunned for a moment, then looks at Luffy, "But didn't he just say Dr. Kureha isn't here?"]
[Luffy ponders for a moment: "Go! We can only trust this reindeer now!"]
[Letting a reindeer treat Usopp, Nami's eyes are wide open as she watches them stubbornly press on~~]
[As soon as they arrive at the medical room, Luffy and Nami look at Chopper in astonishment...]
[Good heavens!!!! Dressed in this white coat, he really looks the part...!!!!]
["Put him 657 here!"]
[Chopper picks up a syringe, instructing Luffy.]
[Luffy doesn't hesitate, placing Usopp on the examination table~~]
[Chopper wipes Usopp's arm with alcohol-soaked cotton, then sticks the needle in!]
["Mm...,"]
[Seeing Chopper's demeanor, Nami is about to ask if he actually knows medicine, but Luffy directly covers her mouth~~]
[Luffy makes a "shh" gesture, then shakes his head at her~~]
[Although Luffy also doubts whether Chopper knows medicine, he knows that questioning someone's professional abilities is extremely, extremely rude!!!!]
[Maybe they were originally going to help you, but because you asked that, they got angry and left!!!!]
[Then wouldn't they be completely out of luck~~~]
[Chopper quickly draws a tube of blood, then starts testing it with reagents~~]
[Actually, seeing this, Nami already realizes that Chopper definitely knows medicine!!!]
[This demeanor is very professional!!!]
[After a while, Chopper gets the test results, flips through a book, and says with some surprise: "It's actually Five-Day Fever! This illness is caused by parasitic bacteria carried by an insect called Kestia that lives in hot, humid forests. The book says this insect went extinct over 100 years ago~"]
["Five-Day Fever? Does that mean, if it's not cured in five days... he'll die...???"]
[Nami keenly notices the keyword and asks nervously.]
["Mm, that's right!! But luckily, Dr. Kureha still has antibiotics here, otherwise, he would have died without treatment in another two days~~"]
[As Chopper speaks, he simultaneously takes out a pestle and mortar from the cabinet.]
[He mixes the medicinal liquid, then draws it into a syringe, holds Usopp's arm, and sticks the needle in!!!]
["Alright~~ He's out of danger for now!"]
[Placing the syringe in the cleaning basin, Chopper says.]
[Learning that Usopp is out of danger, Luffy lets out a sigh of relief. He bows seriously to Chopper: "Thank you so much, Doctor!!"]
["Huh!"]
[Chopper suddenly reacts, ah, the other party is human!!!]
[He instantly jumps back in fright, hiding outside the door, only revealing half his head, and asks timidly: "You... you guys don't think I'm a monster, do you?"]
["A monster? Why?" This time, it's Luffy's turn to be dumbfounded.]
[Nani???]
[Chopper timidly takes a step outside: "I'm a reindeer that walks on two legs, isn't that monstrous?"]
["Huh? What's so strange about a reindeer walking on two legs?"]
[Luffy shows a bewildered expression, then his arms stretch out, becoming as long as his legs!!!]
[He bends over, becoming a "Luffy Four-Legged Beast," and barks at Chopper: "Who doesn't know a few cross-species walking postures!"]
