A man with white eyes and a hat

Luffy and others had already started having fun in the heavy snow. Chopper was done attending the patients and he came out to see who had been shouting and yelling in front of the castle. He peeped out of the side of the door in his iconic 'hiding' way.

Everyone turned their head to look at when they heard the snow crunching sound.

"Who is he?"

"A raccoon?"

"Why is a raccoon so high up in the mountain?"

"Whatever! It looks tasty doesn't he?"

"Yeah! I can marinate well and have a feast on it. It will be great so high up in the mountain."

"I am not a racoon.... I am a reindeer!" Chopper was first scared but then felt insulted when they called him a racoon.

"Did he just talk?"

"Yeah he talked."

"Nani!!"

"A talking animal."

"A monster." Usopp shouted. It was this phrase that triggered Ken and he hit Usopp on the head.

"He is not a monster. Just a being that is special. Have some respect. He is a doctor and he was the one who attended to Nami."

"Nani?"

"What?"

"You are a doctor?"

"Unbelievable!"

"Oye.. Oye.. I have thought of a great idea?" Luffy shouted. Everyone looked at the Captain with curiosity about what kind of evil thought he had just brought up.

"What?"

"I want him as my nakama." Luffy declared.

"Huh!"

"This baka."

Ken just smiled listening to this. Chopper was going to join their gang of ruffians and it seemed like Luffy had already thought of it. Chopper was taken aback by the words of this Straw Hat boy but didn't think much about it. But he didn't know Luffy. He was a guy who had already made the decision that he was going to kidnap Chopper and so he had already started running after Chopper to catch him and bring him back as the nakama and a crew member. Seeing Luffy running, Usopp too joined.

Luffy and Usopp had both used their average power in trying to catch Chopper. Both of them were incredibly fast. Especially Usopp with his sonido. Though he hadn't perfected it yet, he could use it to traverse at super fast speed. They might be stupid but in some cases they were quite cunning.

They had the idea of playing with him to catch. Luffy was fascinated by this blue nosed reindeer and he wanted to make him his friend. And so the chase began. Sanji and Zoro just shook their heads looking at it. Robin adored the cute reindeer and in her mind she hoped that the reindeer could join their group. Vivi and Igaram felt a little weird about this new guy but didn't try stopping the crew.

Though Vivi had connected well with the crew, Igaram felt a little skeptical. He had never seen such a weird pirate crew. These people were carefree and super strong. The powers of these people were something out of a fantasy. If Ken knew his thoughts, he would have punched him on the head. The whole world of One Piece was close to high-fantasy.

This whole chase went on for the whole afternoon. Chopper was touched by the sheer determination to make him his friend and at the end Chopper finally accepted just like he did in the original story. Only difference was that Chopper didn't have to fight Wapol like in the original story.

Actually, Wapol being handed over to them played a major role in convincing Chopper and also the fact that none of the crew mates gave him any kind of weird eyes. He was welcomed well. Meanwhile, Dr. Kureha had been eyeing this bunch of pirates from the balcony and she could already tell that Chopper was going to be convinced at the end. So she already placed the necessary things required for Chopper on the sledge.

By the time the chase ended Nami was fully fit and was ready to leave. Luffy and the others came forward and thanked her. But in return all they received was spears, axes and swords thrown at them.

She blamed them for taking away Chopper while accusing Chopper of being a kid who didn't know anything. Everyone had to run. Chopper went to the sledge and shouted.

"Ken, can you use that thing again which you did before?"

"Of course." Ken said as he could hear her shouts.

After taking the sledge out, everyone got into it and Ken took out his Stormbreaker.

"This will be the first time in the Bifrost. Buckle up everyone."

"Yosh!"

The thrown spears were almost near their faces when the Bifrost opened and got sucked into it. Luffy and others had the time of their life riding the Bifrost but it only lasted a few seconds.

"Hahaha.. Let's do it again!" Luffy shouted as he loved riding the Bifrost.

But not everyone had a good time. Robin, Vivi and Igaram vomited out whatever Sanji made a few minutes ago. Such speed was not meant for everyone. Chopper had already been subjected to that and thus he was fine.

"We don't have time. Next time."

They were back again at the village near the shores. Sanji and others went out to buy rations for the ship on their journey again. Meanwhile Dr. Kureha had ready with her sakura rockets to give a proper send off to Chopper. It was the dream of his mentor so she wanted to honor that before Chopper left the island.

Meanwhile, Ken was in a bar to buy some booze when the shopkeeper came forward and asked.

"Excuse me? But are you by any chance Mister Kenny?"

"Yes. What's up?" Ken didn't care if he was (in)famous or not but he was curious as to why this guy approached.

"I have heard a lot about you. You are a legend in the seas."

"Legend? That is debatable. What do you need though?"

"Uh... A guy came a few days ago and said that he will be waiting for you and Mister Luffy."

"Who came?"

"I don't recognize him but he has white eyes and a hat on his head. After eating he made a run."

"A hat and white eyes? That idiot. How much does he owe for the food?"
