Chapter 385: Chopper

"This is my ability! Aren't you also a Devil Fruit user? Wait... you can talk?!"

Ain was shocked. She hadn't noticed just a moment ago that this little furry creature could actually speak.

Does the Human-Human Fruit have this function too? What form is this?

Don't ask; if you ask, it's the Human-Human Fruit, Ordinary Type, Human form.

"But, why are you guys..."

Ain crouched down to hold Chopper's small hoof, smiling as she said, "There are many types of Devil Fruit abilities. Like Karl and me, we are Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users. Yours must be the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit. By the way, you were originally just an ordinary reindeer, right?"

Ordinary? No, from the day he was born, he was never ordinary, because he was a reindeer with a blue nose.

"Eh, yes... You, aren't you afraid of me? I'm a blue-nosed reindeer, and I can talk..."

Ain was stunned for a moment, then let out a crisp laugh: "Afraid of you? Why would I be afraid of you? Don't you know how cute you are?"

"Cu, cute?" Chopper's body seemed to have triggered a switch; he scratched his head shyly, twisting his body.

"Damn it, even if you praise me for being cute, I won't be happy! Idiot!"

Ain: He's clearly very happy! This kid is really saying one thing while meaning another! But that actually makes him seem even cuter!

Seeing Ain petting Chopper wildly, Karl also felt a bit envious and couldn't help but walk over, giving Chopper's belly a rub.

Hmm, it really is very soft!

After playing for a while, Chopper gradually accepted these friendly "humans," which made him, having always longed for companions, very happy.

Because this also meant that he had accepted them as well.

"Chopper, I heard from Ms. Kureha earlier that you are also a doctor?"

Chopper hurriedly shook his head: "No, I still have a lot to learn, I wouldn't dare call myself a doctor."

"But my dream is to become the best doctor in the world, to become a panacea that cures all diseases!"

Ain smiled and scratched Chopper's chin, teasing him: "Becoming the best doctor in the world is fine, but as for a panacea, this world already has one!"

Chopper shouted in alarm: "What? It already exists? Since when?"

"Look, it's him. His ability can cure some diseases."

"Mr. Karl, is, is what she said true?"

Karl nodded calmly: "More or less! As long as a person still has a breath left, I can save them."

"Is that so?" Chopper's face suddenly turned gray, like a salted fish that had lost its dream.

Seeing this, Karl quickly said: "This is just my ability. Perhaps I am the only person in the world who possesses this, and it doesn't affect you becoming the best doctor in the world at all."

"But possessing the ability to cure everything means you are already the best doctor in the world."

Karl crouched down and looked at Chopper earnestly: "Chopper, a doctor is someone who painstakingly studies medicine and takes saving lives as their duty."

"I have never been a doctor, and I cannot replace any doctor. I am a Marine, I am a soldier, and my mission is to capture pirates and uphold justice."

"The world needs doctors, it needs people like you, understand? Chopper."

Hearing Karl's words, Chopper's fighting spirit was ignited, and he said earnestly: "Understood, I will stick to my dream, work hard to study medicine, and become a real doctor as soon as possible!"

"Eh, that's it!"

"Um, can I see your ability? It's not that I don't believe you, Mr. Karl, I just want to witness that power that can cure some diseases."

"Hahaha, of course you can. Eh, there's no one here who needs to be cured! Ain, why don't you..."

Ain rolled her eyes. Although she knew Karl's ability very well, who would let themselves get hurt for no reason? It hurts so much!

Chopper immediately said: "I'll do it! I have some samples of diseases here!" After saying this, Chopper quickly ran to the room on the side, with the sound of walking footsteps.

Before long, Chopper came over holding a syringe: "This is a sample of the Yuni virus. Once a person is infected with this virus, they will quickly enter a fever state, their body temperature will gradually rise to 50°C, and then..."

Chopper looked at Karl earnestly, then without hesitation, jabbed the syringe into his own arm.

After about three minutes, Chopper's body temperature rose sharply; one could feel the astonishing heat he was emitting through his fur. Ain looked at Chopper with concern: "Are you okay? Karl, hurry up and save him!"

"No, wait a little longer. The Yuni virus hasn't fully erupted yet; two more minutes will be fine."

Karl nodded helplessly. Since Chopper insisted, he couldn't refuse. After all, as long as Chopper still had a breath, he could save him at any time, so there was no need to worry about Chopper being killed by the virus.

Gradually, Chopper's consciousness began to blur, and his body swayed. Seeing that the time was about right, Karl raised his index finger, aimed it at Chopper's head, and a dazzling white Holy Light condensed at his fingertip.

"Purification Ray!" *Biu*

The white Holy Light shot straight into the center of Chopper's brow, but it didn't cause any harm. On the contrary, the Holy Light was purifying the Yuni virus inside Chopper's body.

The Holy Light was very effective. Chopper's complexion began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it wasn't long before he returned to normal.

"How do you feel?"

Chopper scratched his head: "Hmm... just when my body was very hot, suddenly a cool thing came in, and then my body temperature started to drop. It's so amazing."

Curing the Yuni virus so easily, the power of the Holy Light is too strong. Ms. Ain saying it's a panacea is really no exaggeration.

"Hahahaha, it's amazing to you, but to pirates, it is incomparably deadly. It is precisely because of its existence that I can be invincible, and no one can knock me down."

"Likewise, if you become the best doctor in the world, your companions won't have to worry about getting hurt in battle anymore, because you will always be able to cure them. This is the role of a doctor, Chopper. Keep working hard! I believe you can do it."

Chopper nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will definitely work hard, Mr. Karl!"

Karl patted Chopper's head and said: "Keep it up. Ain, let's go, it's time to investigate Wapol's treasury."

"I know where Wapol's treasury is, I'll take you there!" Chopper volunteered. Karl patted Chopper on the shoulder: "Hmm, you come along too!"

"This is Wapol's armory, but it was locked when we came here, and we couldn't find the key."

"It's fine, that's not a problem for me." ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
