116: Chapter 116 Chopper Boards the Ship(It's not that the author doesn't want to update, but the author has already started working, and once a day is spent at work, there's simply no time to update.So, the author can only barely manage to update once a day for both novels.If there's time on Sunday, the author will try to update two chapters for both novels.)
"A talking tanuki?That's a monster!" Vivi had never seen a talking animal before and immediately exclaimed in shock.Chopper was about to argue, but after hearing the word "monster," he turned pale and walked toward the door.Just then, Luffy gave Vivi a hard knock on the head and scolded her.
"Don't talk to him like that.First of all, he's a reindeer, not a tanuki.Secondly, you're not allowed to call him a monster; he's just a Devil Fruit user who ate a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit and can now take human form.Also, he's my partner, so please stop talking to him like that."
Vivi rubbed her head, which had been throbbing from Luffy's knock, and glared at him angrily.But seeing his serious expression, she knew he wasn't joking, so she could only reluctantly agree.However, Chopper trembled when he heard what Luffy said.It was the first time he had been called a comrade.Chopper ran out with tears in his eyes.Luffy didn't chase after him; he wanted Chopper to calm down like a deer.
Dr.Kureha, who came in later, was puzzled to see Chopper run out with tears in his eyes.She assumed Luffy had bullied Chopper again, so.
"You old hag, everyone says I didn't bully Chopper.It was Vivi who called him a monster and made him leave crying," Luffy immediately pointed at the innocent-looking Vivi and said.
"What?You actually called me an old woman?I'm just a 139-year-old beauty!How dare you make me sound so old?I'll kill you!" Dr.Kureha roared angrily.
Seeing Dr.Kureha chasing after him with a kitchen knife, Luffy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.He comforted himself, telling himself that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, and that he wasn't holding back because he was afraid Chopper wouldn't come aboard with him.Yes, that's it.Meanwhile, Vivi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Luffy flee in a disheveled state.She had never seen Luffy look so pathetic before.
After much effort, Luffy finally managed to shake off Dr.Kureha.At that moment, he spotted Chopper on a rooftop, who was staring intently at a pirate flag.Luffy suddenly climbed onto the roof, startling the engrossed Chopper, who almost fell off.Luffy quickly grabbed Chopper and pulled him into his arms.
Chopper was initially very resistant, after all, it was quite embarrassing, but he was defeated by the "it's actually good" principle.He squinted his eyes and slumped into Luffy's arms, enjoying it.At this moment, Luffy invited him again: "Chopper, come with me to the sea and experience a wonderful adventure."
Chopper hesitated for a moment, then refused, saying, "No, I'm a monster, and the people on your ship will look down on me." Seeing Chopper's desire to go but also his fear, Luffy felt extremely sorry for him.When he watched the anime before, he couldn't feel Chopper's inner pain, but when he actually met Chopper, even though Chopper didn't show it, Luffy could still feel his inner pain.
"Can you tell me your story?"
Chopper looked up and saw Luffy's gentle face.He couldn't help but tell Luffy everything that had happened to him.When he finished telling his story, Luffy invited him again.Chopper was still very hesitant.Luffy naturally knew what he was worried about.With a wave of his hand, Wapol's body fell heavily to the ground from the air.Looking at Chopper, he was still hesitant.
"This is so annoying, let's go together!"
Luffy jumped off the roof and shouted at Chopper.Hearing this, Chopper couldn't hold back anymore and tearfully agreed to Luffy's request.
