The Drum Kingdom.
Uehara led them through the streets of the Drum Kingdom.
There were not many people along the way, and there was even an old woman walking down the street with a reindeer carrying a tool bag and a red top hat.
"Interesting."
Uehara's gaze slowly stopped. He looked at the reindeer and asked with a smile, "How about we have a meal today?"
Kisame grinned and nodded, "Does Uehara-sama want to eat deer meat? I wonder how the reindeers here are compared to the ones from the Nara Clan..."
"Isn't it about the same?"
Uehara shrugged indifferently.
Nico Robin couldn't help but frown when she heard this. The reindeer was cute and handsome, so why did these two want to eat it?
Was there not enough supplies on the ship?
They didn't stay in the town for too long but went straight to the king's castle of the Drum Kingdom. This was their main purpose.
They originally thought that this would be a more troublesome battle, but they didn't expect that the people of this country were pitifully weak. Kisame easily took care of everyone.
In front of the king's castle that was covered in snow all year round, Kisame waved Samehada in his hand, and a string of blood spilled down, dyeing the white land red.
Uehara and Nico Robin stood in front of the castle while the soldiers were lying around them, including Wapol and his two guards.
Nico Robin tightened her clothes. She was still wearing only hot pants and a vest inside, and only a long coat outside.
This kind of weather was quite cold for her.
Uehara casually took off his coat and threw it on Nico Robin. Then he slowly squatted in front of the Drum Kingdom king, "Let me think about how to deal with you. You seemed to scold me when we met just now. What happened to the last person who scolded me?"
"Wait..."
Wapol hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Although he was a Devil Fruit user, he had no power to fight back in Kisame's hands. He also saw how ruthless these guys were.
Walpo's ugly face revealed a hint of panic, "I am the king of the Drum Kingdom. This is a World Government affiliated country. If you kill me, you will be hunted down by the marine!"
"I am from Baroque Works. Do you think I am afraid of the marine?"
Uehara waved his hand and nodded at Kisame, "Kisame, bring this king to the beach and throw him. If he can survive, it will depend on his luck!"
"... Yes."
Kisame nodded seriously.
Nico Robin looked at this scene speechlessly.
After Kisame picked up Wapol and left, Uehara's eyes slowly fell on the others, "I remember that this country is a medical country; it seems that there is a very famous female doctor. Her name seems to be Kureha..."
"... Yes."
The former guard captain of the Drum Kingdom, Dalton, who had Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison (Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Model), nodded with an ugly expression.
"Take me to her!"
"Can I ask..."
Dalton gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do to the Drum Kingdom?"
"Heh, even if I want to do something to the Drum Kingdom, what can you do?"
Uehara chuckled and spread out his palm. He continued calmly, "We are from the Baroque Works. Any member of our group can destroy the entire Drum Kingdom. Do you want to resist me?"
Uehara punched Dolton in the abdomen and said in a deep voice, "As punishment for questioning me! When I see Dr. Kureha, go and help me prepare a million Beli. Any objections?"
"... No... no."
Dalton knelt on the ground in a somewhat sorry state and clutch his lower abdomen tightly.
In this snowy weather, his forehead was constantly dripping with cold sweat because of the pain.
Fortunately, the number given by Uehara was not much and could be easily gathered.
However, Uehara did not give him any time to rest.
Dalton could only endure his pain and lie on the sleigh and lead the way.
Nico Robin had a puzzled look on her face. She wrapped herself with Uehara's clothes tightly and asked softly, "Is there anything worth meeting with Dr. Kureha?"
"How would I know?"
Uehara asked casually and then continued, "But I know one thing; it is always right to spread the hatred for our Baroque Works in the world..."
Robin, "..."
You really were one of the top employees of Baroque Works!
An hour later.
Uehara appeared at the home of Dr. Kureha. He kicked open the door and stood at the door with a gun in his hand. He smiled playfully and said, "Is it Dr. Kureha's home? I'm short on money recently. Can I borrow some money to spend?"
"..."
In the room, a woman who looked old but maintained a good figure looked up and saw Uehara standing at the door.
It was Dr. Kureha, the witch with the best medical skills in the Drum Kingdom.
She was also the person they saw in the town today.
This year, she was already over a hundred and thirty years old, but she was still living very healthy; it was obviously inconceivable in this world.
"Pirates again?"
Kureha looked at the gun in Uehara's hand. Her eyes narrowed and she smiled. She calmly shook her head and said, "Little fellow, you really found the wrong person. I do have a lot of money, but I used them all to buy wine!"
After saying that, the woman waved the wine bottle in her hand and continued with a smile, "But do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth?"
"Not interested."
Uehara raised the gun in his hand and casually aimed at a reindeer wearing a red hat in the room. He smiled helplessly and said, "Since you don't have any money, then I'll take your reindeer away! It will be my dinner tonight..."
His words made it clear that he was really helpless.
It seemed that this guy really did not want to leave empty-handed!
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the red hat reindeer. The next moment, its expression gradually became gloomy, and a groan came out from under its nose.
Just when the reindeer looked like it could explode at any time, Uehara suddenly appeared beside the reindeer!
Uehara grab the reindeer's neck with one hand and pressed it against the wall!
"Wait!"
Kureha suddenly stretched out her palm but the smile on her face did not diminish, "That's not food; it's my stupid son... Since you want to borrow money from others, you have to say a number, right?"
"One Million Beli."
Uehara pitched the reindeer, stroked its fur, and slowly continued, "I also want to take this reindeer with me. The meat on its body looks very chewy..."
"Little guy, this is a bit too much..."
Although Kureha was still smiling, her palm slowly put down the bottle, "Really, are the little pirates nowadays so greedy?"
"Who are you calling a little pirate?"
Uehara raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Kureha. He said coldly, "I am an intermediate-level agent of the Baroque Works!"
"..."
Kureha frowned.
To be honest, this kind of hot-headed little fellow was the most annoying. Just as Kureha slowly clenched her fists, a woman's voice came in.
"Uehara, just take the Beli and leave!"
"Yes."
Uehara let the reindeer go in his hand. He then said in a deep voice, "Hey, Kureha, hurry up and get the money!"
Unexpectedly, the reindeer on the ground suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Uehara. Uehara directly kicked the reindeer and sent it flying!
"Stop, Chopper!"
Kureha hurriedly stopped the reindeer.
Even if she did not stop it, it was still okay because the reindeer was in so much pain that it could not even stand up.
Kureha took out a money box and handed it to Uehara. She then asked, "Which organization did you say you were from?"
"Baroque Works."
Uehara broke the gun in his hand and threatened her with a smile, "If you want to take revenge on us, then come!"
"It's enough to know your names."
Kureha smiled and said, "In the future, when I meet a patient from your group, I will take back what I have given you today."
"Okay."
Uehara did not care at all. He just left with the money box because the most important reward in this country had already been obtained by him.
[Side Mission: Defeat Tony Tony Chopper(1/1).]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: 50 gold coins.]
This was...
Did the lowest level of reward have been refreshed?
When he beat Hinata, the reward was higher than this!
Uehara couldn't help but hold his forehead and look at the second reward.
[Side Mission: Rubbing Tony Tony Chopper's belly and little head(1/1).]
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: +3,000 Life Energy, +3,000 Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki), +3,000 Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki). ]
Was this a task that a macho should complete?
Two different missions. Their reward was actually different!
After Uehara left with Nico Robin, he took Kureha's 1,000,000 Beli and the 1,000,000 Beli that Dolton prepared.
Kureha squatted next to Chopper and poured him a bottle of potion, "Hey, stupid Chopper, are you okay?"
"I'm fine... Dr. Kureha."
After the reindeer opened its mouth to respond, its body gradually began to shrink. A moment later, its body became as big as a human child.
Chopper raised his head and looked at Kureha. There was also some doubt in his big eyes, "Are those people... pirates?"
"Maybe?"
Kureha nodded. She looked at the gun that was broken by Uehara and slowly sat back on the chair, "That little guy... is just a small character in the sea, so it's not that easy if you want to be a pirate!"
"I will not be that kind of pirate!"
Chopper suddenly waved his front hooves and said angrily, "How can they be pirates if they rush to other people's homes to rob money?"
"Huh?"
Kureha touched her wine bottle and drank a mouthful of wine. She continued in a deep voice, "You are right. That guy may not be a pirate. He seems to be a member of the Baroque Works; it seems to be a criminal organization in the first half of the Grand Line..."
"... Baroque Works?"
Chopper nodded slowly and wrote down this name. His eyes became determined, "Dr. Kureha, I will continue the experiment!"
