34: Chapter 34: Visiting Dr. Kuleha and meeting Tony Tony Chopper for the first time"Hey, Luffy, are you sure this is the way to go?It's really cold!"
Sanji was wearing a thick cotton coat and groping forward in the blizzard, shivering from the cold.
"That's right, the highest Drum Mountain.We will reach the foot of the mountain after passing through this blizzard!" Nami looked at the map, and the severe cold made her hands and feet cold.
"Hurry up!I don't want to freeze into an ice stick in the blizzard.Let's get to a warm house!" Usopp was also shivering with cold.
Ajin endured the cold and didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace.
So, with the exception of Zoro who stayed behind to watch over the ship, Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Kin continued along the snowy road, defeating all the beasts they encountered along the way, though they didn't kill them all.Among them was the familiar beast rabbit from the original novel - Labang.
The group marched forward in the snowstorm and finally arrived at the foot of the towering Drum Mountain.
Luffy looked up and said, "Everyone, if we try to find a mountain path and slowly climb up, it will take a lot of time, and it will definitely be late at night when we reach the top.My suggestion is to use the [Moon Step] to reach the top quickly.After all, everyone is now proficient in using the Moon Step.What do you think?"
"Needless to say, it must be the [Moon Step]!" Everyone agreed.
So, Luffy and his three companions used the Moon Step one after another, and soon they arrived at the castle on the top of Mount Drum Mountain.
"Wow!Luffy, look, this reindeer can carry things!" As soon as Usopp arrived at the place, he was surprised by the wonders here.
Luffy smiled slightly: "Don't look so unworldly."
The simple Tony Tony Chopper had never seen such a scene before.He was frightened by the sudden strange voices and laughter, and ran into the castle and hid.
Luffy said loudly towards the castle, "Dr.Ms.Kuleha, we have a guest.Please be kind."
The castle gate suddenly opened, and a slightly mysterious voice came from inside: "Come in, come in and talk."
Luffy and his crew of four walked in one after another and saw an old lady dressed quite fashionably sitting on a chair, drinking wine, with a fire burning next to her.She looked particularly relaxed and comfortable.
"Greetings, Ms.Dr.Kuleha, I apologize for disturbing your family.I'm Monkey D.Luffy, and I've come to visit you with my friends.This is a vintage wine from Windmill Village.Please accept it." Luffy bowed nearly ninety degrees, showing due respect to this senior.He had prepared the vintage wine long ago, and when visiting this person, he naturally had to cater to their preferences.
"Oh?You are thoughtful.D, here comes another D.What do you want from me?" Dr.Kuleha did not care about their disturbance.She accepted the wine naturally and went straight to the point.
"Ms.Dr.Kuleha, we have two purposes for coming here.One is to find an excellent ship doctor to join us." Luffy replied, glancing at Tony Tony Chopper who was hiding in the corner.He hid half of his body, but his head was quietly watching the strange visitors.
"Hahaha, Chopper, you actually want a reindeer to join, who are you, pirates?" Dr.Kuleha said with a smile, as if he didn't care what they mentioned.He tapped the newspaper in Rogue Town with his fingers.The newspaper was about the commotion caused by the Straw Hat Pirates in Rogue Town, but the strange thing was that there was no bounty on this group of people.
"Chopper, he's very cute, isn't he?" Luffy also said with a smile.
"I won't be happy just because you say I'm cute!" Chopper's classic shy and tsundere look.
"How about joining our adventure team?It's fun to go on an adventure at sea." Luffy coaxed him patiently, like a weird uncle who kidnapped children.
"I.I don't want to!" Chopper hid back directly.
"Adventure group?" Dr.Kuleha asked doubtfully.
Luffy introduced: "Yes, we set out to sea as an adventure group, fighting only for justice and good people.I will go out to see the world and get my own answers.The navy is not truly righteous, and not all pirates are evil.The current path of the Revolutionary Army is not feasible.I will hold justice and kindness in my heart and strengthen my own power.One day in the future, I will wake up the people of the world."
"Hahahaha, it seems the will of the D Clan hasn't died yet!Adventurers, is this the way you came up with to distinguish yourself from the evil pirates?" Ms.Kuleha showed interest."So, what else?"
"This brings us to the second reason why I came to see you, Dr.Ms.Kuleha.Do you know what the [Will of D] is?" Luffy asked solemnly.
The companions around him pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Hahaha, kid, since you have such strong faith and will, you must have already had your own interpretation of the [Will of D], right?So why bother about what [D] is?Tell me what you think!" Ms.Kuleha said while tasting the aged wine.
"First of all, Ms.Kuleha, my devil fruit is the Animal-type Mythical Beast, Human-Human Fruit, Nika form.Ms.Kuleha, you should know who was the last person to awaken this fruit." Luffy revealed the true name of his fruit for the first time in front of everyone.
"Nika?Joyboy?You little brat are so bold!Aren't you afraid that the World Government will want to get rid of you?" Ms.Kuleha called.
"Haha, what I eat is the rubber fruit, what does it have to do with the Nika fruit?" Luffy curled his lips.
"Good boy, you are really smart." Ms.Kuleha became interested, and everyone else was just shocked.
"Back to the point, in my opinion, [D] stands for decentralization., [D] stands for dream, [D] stands for dawn, [D] also means millions of people laughing heartily under the same sky!" Luffy said firmly.
"Hahaha, that's interesting.Since you already have such an insight, why ask me again?The will of [D] survives.[D] is not at the deepest part of your story, but in everyone's will!As long as there is [will], everyone can be [D]!" Dr.Kuleha laughed heartily.
