Chapter 37

His luck was not bad.

It had only been a short while since he knocked when the castle gate cracked open a sliver, and then a...

More than half of a body?

Seeing Chopper's "Reverse Body Movement" technique, with only a small half of his head hidden behind the door and the larger, fluffy half of his body exposed outside, Sima Di couldn't help but laugh.

He's just too cute!

Sima Di: "......"

This reward...

It feels like it was given, yet also like it wasn't.

Just like Chopper's Reverse Body Movement, it looks like he's hiding, yet also like he isn't.

Interestingly,

Sima Di watched Chopper like this for a long time, and Chopper himself didn't notice anything wrong, still thinking he was hiding well, standing perfectly still.

"I have to say... you seem to be hiding backwards," Sima Di said with a smile.

Chopper:? っQ?;)っ

Chopper quietly turned around, then cautiously poked out half his head again, staring at Sima Di with one eye.

"Who are you? Here to seek medical treatment?" Chopper demanded.

"Oh, I'm here to find a companion," Sima Di stated truthfully: "I killed your king for this country, and your leader promised I could pick someone to go with me."

Chopper:? っQ?;)っ

The little guy seems easily startled?

"Y-you killed Wapol?" Chopper pressed.

"Yes, shouldn't he be killed?"

Undoubtedly,

For Chopper, whose "adoptive father" Hiriluk was once killed by Wapol, Wapol was a thoroughgoing big villain.

"He deserved to die!" Chopper stated firmly: "Then... you must be a good person, right!"

"Hmm... Undoubtedly, yes!" Sima Di nodded.

Hearing this, Chopper relaxed and stepped out from behind the door he had been hiding at.

"Great! I met a good person!" Chopper said cheerfully: "So, did you come here to find Dr. Kureha to become your companion? Her Medical Arts are very strong!"

The little guy is really innocent, believing this so easily?

Watching Chopper bounce ahead leading the way, Sima Di became more and more satisfied the more he looked.

"Are you a reindeer who ate a Devil Fruit?" Sima Di asked, knowing the answer.

"Eh? How did you figure that out?" Chopper asked in surprise.

"Our team also has a little girl who ate a Devil Fruit and turned into a human; her true form is a Giant Whale!"

"Giant Whale? How big is it?"

"As big as a normal small island."

"Wow! So big!"

"She is also very similar to you; I'll introduce you two sometime."

"Mm-hmm!"

The man and the deer chatted animatedly; by the time they reached Dr. Kureha, Sima Di was already able to rub the little guy's fur.

He's just too cute!

"Dr. Kureha! I brought a good person!" Chopper introduced excitedly: "This is Sima Di; he killed the utterly wicked Wapol, and Dalton promised he could pick a companion! Will you set sail with him?"

36. Kidnapping Chopper in Progress! Dr. Kureha's Approval!

Chopper: "...... Will you set sail with him?"

Dr. Kureha, with drunken eyes, glanced at Sima Di and took another swig of alcohol.

She waved her hand casually: "I have no interest in setting sail; killing Wapol is a good thing, go pick someone else."

This answer actually made Chopper feel a bit disappointed...

He had thought that if Dr. Kureha could set sail, he could go along with her...

"I think Chopper might have misunderstood one thing," Sima Di smiled: "In fact, I came to ask for your opinion on whether Chopper can become my companion?"

Chopper: "!!!"

His jaw dropped to the ground in shock, and he stared at Sima Di without blinking.

So the companion you chose is me?

But...

Why didn't you say so just now!

Dr. Kureha also became interested and looked at Sima Di seriously.

Then she said indifferently: "As for that reindeer, ask him yourself!"

Though the words sounded harsh, Sima Di knew Dr. Kureha had done it on purpose.

All so that when Chopper left her, there would be a little less sorrow.

"I don't want to!" Chopper suddenly shouted. "I don't want to go out to sea! I don't want to leave Doctorine! You're not a good person! You're a bad person! Go away!"

Saying so,

Chopper even pushed Sima Di, trying to make him leave the castle.

Sima Di smiled and pressed down on the little fellow's head, looking at Dr. Kureha.

"Looks like he really can't bear to part with you. How about coming out to sea with me?"

More people make it livelier, after all.

Dr. Kureha's face, however, was quite displeased—whether because of Sima Di's words or Chopper's reaction, it was unclear.

"Just a deer, how long do you plan to freeload here?" Dr. Kureha said irritably.

Those harsh words were, frankly, too deliberate.

But Chopper took them at face value and immediately panicked into tears.

"Bwaaah— Doctorine, I'll work really hard! Please don't kick me out, okay? Bwaaah—"

Good grief!

Chopper's crying even made Sima Di a little unsure of himself—had he come to find Chopper only to do something wrong?

There was no helping it,

he was the type who responded to softness but not to hardness.

This trick of Chopper's clearly worked on Dr. Kureha too—her gaze wavered slightly.

But then she steeled her heart.

She directly took down the great axe decorating the wall and swung it straight at Chopper!

That was a real chop!

Chopper was so startled he went blank—forget crying, he even forgot to dodge.

"Clang!"

Sima Di caught the axe barehanded, the black sheen of Armament Haki surfacing.

This surprised Dr. Kureha somewhat, but it only firmed up her resolve.

"Cry cry cry! So noisy! Get out of here, now!"

Saying so, she swung the axe again. Sima Di was about to block once more, only to find Dr. Kureha giving him a look.

Hmm......
