Journey to One Piece

96. Chopper and Dr. Kureha

"I will treat the patient in exchange for Wapol." A voice came from behind. It was a woman's voice and from the sound of it the woman probably belonged to someone from an elderly age. The woman walked forward and stood in front.

Ken recognized her immediately. It was for her that he had come to this Winter Island. Dr. Kureha, the famous Doctorine and of course Chopper, the racoo... I mean the reindeer.

"Who is this old woman?" Luffy asked while picking his nose. As if in response, the woman who had been wearing clothes that didn't fit her age at all threw swords and axes at Luffy. Luffy had to dodge in order to escape her attack.

"Who are you calling old?"

"Yaaaa... Who is this violent woman?" Luffy looked quite shocked and almost showed fear. Ken was tired seeing his antics and just ignored him. He took Nami on his shoulders and said,

"Doctor, I think she has a rare disease called Kestia. Can you please check?" Ken came forward and asked.

"I will be the judge of what disease she had contracted. Give me Wapol first."

"Hai.. Oye.. Send him the body along with yourself. You have terrorized this country for a long time. It is time you pay for your mistakes." Ken shouted while looking at the other ship. Everyone shuddered listening to Ken but no one dared to argue. They had seen how he treated Wapol. They didn't want the same treatment.

Of course, among them there were some who thought themselves too clever. Chess and Kuromarimo had sneakily tried to slip away with a boat of their own.

"They are running away."

"Aren't those the ministers of Wapol? Catch them, don't let them escape."

They had gone quite a distance but none of the crew of the Straw Hat moved. Vivi, Robin and Igaram were a little puzzled by the nonchalance of Straw Hats, until they saw Usopp who had just come out with a bow and arrow.

The arrow and bow looked so beautiful even the citizens of Drum Kingdom had forgotten about the escapees and just watched Usopp pulling the thin blue colored string from the bow.

And then he released the string. The arrow shot fast in almost breaking the sound barrier and hit right on the small deck of the boat. This shot was enough to break the whole boat into pieces and splash water everywhere. Usopp had used quite a lot of force and this prompted the two ex-ministers to almost fly away in the blast.

"Ohh.. Usopp you have been progressing quite fast." Luffy said.

"Hahaha.. Of course.. I am the famous Usopp Sama."

Dr. Kureha seeing this had her eyebrows creased. In her long life she had never seen such a move or heard of any devil fruit power to use such a move. It surely looked dazzling but she had no idea what kind of power this was.

Someone took a small boat nearby to take these ministers out of the ocean. It was freezing cold and they would die if they were in the water for a long time. Dying in this water would be too easy of a death for these men. They deserved proper punishment.

Wapol was brought to Dr. Kureha by the Isshi 20. Everyone was eyeing the Isshi 20 and looked at them with bad eyes. For the citizens it was because of them that the country suffered though at their hearts they knew that the doctors of Isshi 20 were forced but people wouldn't just forgive them so easily.

Dr. Kureha looked closely at the unconscious body but Chopper came from behind and nudged at Dr. Kureha. He was sure it was Wapol because he had already got the smell.

"Bring the patient with me to that mountain. You come by foot and I will take the sledge." Dr. Kureha ordered as she pointed at one of three peaks of a steep circular mountain.

"Huh. Why can't we come in your sledge?" Ken complained.

"Because I said so."

"Eh! We don't have that much time." Ken said as he landed with one jump near Dr. Kureha. Chopper, who was in reindeer form, became a little defensive and came forward to protect Doctorine while Dr. Kureha was just curious what this man was going to do.

Then seeing the action of Ken, Chopper jumped at him as he saw Ken taking out his Stormbreaker, but before Chopper's head butt could land on Ken, the Bifrost opened and the 5 people were sucked away.

"Yaaa... Ken... This bastard left us again. Come back!" Luffy shouted.

"I wanted to go too." Usopp cried.

Even Zoro and Sanji were a little reluctant to see Ken just vanishing away. Robin, Vivi and Igaram just gulped seeing this. Even Dalton and the citizens were dumbfounded seeing this. They didn't understand what had happened.

"Where.. Where is Dr. Kureha? Where did they vanish?" Dalton's voice was quivering.

"Don't worry. Ken had taken them to that mountain. They are fine." Sanji said as he lit up another cigarette on his lips.

"Taken them? How?"

"Ken can teleport with that axe of his. " Zoro replied.

"Teleport with a weapon? Has technology reached such heights? Who the hell are you people?" Dalton surprisingly believed them. The power of Usopp was enough to make him feel that if these people had any ulterior motives, then they wouldn't have been talking until now and just used force.

"We? We are the Straw Hat Pirates and I am Monkey D. Luffy. The one who is going to be a Pirate King.. Shishishi..."

Meanwhile, the Bifrost dropped near the previous home of Wapol. The castle which Dr. Kureha and Chopper had occupied. Chopper who had jumped at Ken was thrown away by the force of Bifrost. Dr. Kureha looked a little disoriented while Chopper had swirling eyes. The force of Bifrost was too huge and people tended to throw up a bit after their first ride, if their body wasn't strong.
