One Piece: The Ninja Who Started as a Fisherman.

Chopper returns to the castle.

"Doctor Doriel, there seems to be some movement down the mountain! Is it that Valpo and the others are back?"

In front of Chopper, an old woman wearing a fashionable belly-baring outfit and with a figure as well-maintained as that of a young girl was sitting on a wooden chair with her legs crossed leisurely.

This old woman is none other than the witch – Dr. Kuleha, a doctor who is both good and evil.

The old woman casually picked up the wine bottle beside her, took two sips of plum wine, and then replied calmly:

"Humph, it's not that idiot Valpo, it's just the Labans making a fuss down there."

Although Kuleha didn't see it, the look in her eyes that seemed to see through everything made Chopper believe it instinctively.

Then, Kuleha set her eyes on the little reindeer and said, "My silly son, have you finished reading the book I asked you to read?"

Chopper was shocked: "Ah! Doctor Doriel, I'll go right away! I will definitely finish it today."

After Chopper left, Kuleha took a sip of wine and sucked on the salted plums.

“What an interesting bunch of guys.”

----

Down the mountain.

"Hey! Qikan! Are you better now?" Luffy ran over to check with an innocent look on his face.

However, after Qi Kang released the raging fire, smoke continued to come out of his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he was about to faint on the ground.

The depletion of chakra caused it to lose its barrier against toxins.

Sanji and Luffy were quick to catch Saikan's shaky body.

At this time, Usopp also discovered that Qi Kang's body had changed like an Avatar, because even his nostrils had grown colorful nose hairs! !

"Hey! Luffy! There's something wrong with Saikan's body! He... seems to be unable to hold on! We have to hurry."

If everyone before still thought that Qi Kang was not in serious trouble, they were now completely panicked after seeing his appearance.

So, several people hurried to the foot of Cigu Mountain.

Looking at the hill that had no slope and was as sturdy as an iron barrel, Sanji swallowed.

"Well, guys! Go ahead!" Luffy ordered.

Sanji looked at his hands that he used to cook, tightened his grip on Nami behind him, took a deep puff of cigarette, and seemed to have made up his mind.

Just as Luffy and Sanji were preparing to climb the mountain wall, Usopp mysteriously revealed his secret weapon - a few octopus shoes.

He held his head high, his face filled with anticipation and pride, and said, "Is there anyone willing to call me Uncle Usopp? I can lend you a pair of octopus shoes."

Usopp looked very proud. After seeing the appearance of Magnetic Drum Mountain, he thought of his own little invention.

He volunteered to do it without exposing the tool, just for this moment! This kind of sensational thrill!

Usopp looked like he was about to praise me, but then I saw Sanji coming over with a gloomy face.

"Octopus! I called you Octopus! Crawl now! You idiot."

Sanji started scolding Usopp, is it time to play now?

It was because of the octopus that Qi Kang became like this. If Qi Kang was still alive, he wouldn't have to hurt his hand at all, so...

Sanji's hatred for the octopus was taken on by Usopp.

After being beaten for a while, Usopp held up his octopus shoes with sweat all over his forehead and explained humbly:

"Octopus shoes are a wall-climbing tool developed based on the Qikang wall-climbing method. They are an invention specifically for this type of terrain."

After hearing this, Sanji and Luffy's eyes lit up. They each took a pair of shoes and put them on impatiently.

Luffy was the first to try, and he stepped on the cliff, shouting excitedly: "Wow! I can really stick to the wall! Usopp is so awesome! I'm a ninja too!!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Climb quickly! There's no time to waste!" After saying that, Sanji ran quickly on the cliff with a long-lost smile on his lips.

Watching his friends walking away, Usopp burst into tears!

I didn’t pretend…

"Dumb! Dumb!" Murkrow pecked Usopp's head.

"Ah! Master Murkrow! I'll crawl right away!"

Usopp covered his head and rushed up Drum Mountain.

----

The wind and snow blew fiercely on everyone, and the altitude sickness made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"He" specifically refers to Usopp.

"Usopp, thank goodness you're here!" Sanji in front said without turning his head.

Sanji used to think that Usopp was a nobody, but now he has a new understanding of Usopp.

He couldn't imagine how difficult the journey would have been without this invention.

Although Usopp was out of breath, he immediately perked up after enjoying the flattery from his friends.

"Of course. Look who I am! I am a great pirate recognized by the warriors of Elbaf. The giants are my friends."

Murkrow flew over Luffy's head with a look of disgust.

"Haha! Usopp is of course the best partner! Yoho! Guys, go faster! I feel like I'm reaching the top!"

Luffy, wearing octopus shoes and carrying Qi Kang, suddenly accelerated.

Not long after, Luffy jumped up, threw Saikan to the ground, and declared loudly: "First! I am the first!"

Looking at Luffy's appearance, if you don't know him, you would think he has been the first to catch up.

But behind him came Sanji's anxious roar: "Stupid Luffy! Go find a doctor, this is not a race to see who gets there first!"

"Dumb! Dumb!" The Murkrow flew up from Luffy's head and landed on the head of a confused little guy.

At this time, a series of terrified and pure voices sounded:

“It says it’s number one.”

"Ah!! Who are you?"

"Ah!! What's wrong with this person!?"

"Wow! It's poisoned! Doctor! Find a doctor quickly!!"

Luffy looked at the little guy, stretched out his perverted hand, and his eyes glowed with an unscientific light.

"Ah! Help! What are you going to do?"

So Luffy chased, and Chopper ran...

At this time, Sanji kicked Luffy away.

"Idiot! Go find a doctor! What are you chasing after food for?"

Chopper was even more frightened when he saw Sanji's eyes.

"Ah! This is so scary! Doctor Doriel, help me!!"

"Mute! Mute!"

----

Inside the palace, Kuleha listened to the description of the patients' conditions: "A girl with a bacterial infection, and a boy suspected of having both a biological toxin and a fungal infection?"

"Yes! Doctor Doriel, Murkrow is their companion. They said they went to the Ancient Island to play. The man ate something poisonous while fishing."

"Mute! Mute!"

Chopper was holding something that was about to rot...

Blue tentacles, purple tissue, colorful seaweed.

When Kuleha saw these guys, she almost spit out her wine.

She recognized these things at a glance. If a mortal touched them, he would die.

Blue-ringed poisonous octopus, purple-capped stingray, and colorful water ghost mushroom!

How could you eat so many of these extinct poisonous creatures at once?

Kuleha took a deep breath and said, "You have a sample, but you don't go check the data. What are you looking at me for?"

Chopper asked anxiously, "Doctor Doriel, do you want me to treat you? But I've only been practicing for two and a half years..."

Kuleha interrupted Chopper directly.

"I'll leave this boy to you. It doesn't matter if he dies anyway... I'll go see the girl." After saying that, Kuleha walked away leisurely while drinking.

After the old witch left, Murkrow and Chopper started communicating.

"Mute! Mute!"

"Don't worry! I will definitely save your friends!! Murkrow!"

"Mute! Mute!"

"That's annoying! I'm not that powerful!"

"Mute! Mute!"

"Are we good friends now? Then can you tell me your story?"

"Mute! Mute!"

Chopper and Murkrow walked towards the infirmary while communicating smoothly.
