I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

While the villagers and soldiers were locked in a standoff, Zoro, Usopp, and Vivi circled around and walked back to Great Horn Village.

Bai Yun only blocked the snow in front of him and Dalton; the snow waves from both sides still covered a large part of the island.

Vivi and Usopp's sled, which were searching for Dr. Kureha, were separated.

When they came back, they encountered Zoro, who had been winter swimming and then buried in the snow. So, Zoro was shirtless in -10°C when he asked this question, and his voice trembled a little.

"W-what's wrong? I was about to ask you what happened. Why are you dressed like that?"

Zoro and his two companions came to the edge of the crowd. A villager heard Zoro's question, turned around, and was startled to see Zoro. He could only say that the young hero had a truly impressive physique.

“Dalton and that guy are lying there, both of them are injured, but these soldiers won’t let us go over to help them.”

"Young man?"

Usopp and Vivi immediately thought of Bai Yun.

"Is it that guy with the long hair?"

"Ah! Yes, it was he who cleaved the snow wave with his sword and prevented Mr. Dalton from being buried in the snow."

"Slice it in two with one stroke..."

"never mind."

Zoro murmured to himself, then dashed forward in a flash.

"Anyone who has a problem with this, come at me! Without Dalton and that long-haired guy, you're nothing but a bunch of..."

A soldier was still mocking the villagers when Zoro punched him, sending his front teeth flying and tearing off his coat.

"It's much warmer now."

"It really is you, Bai Yun. You look so pathetic."

Zoro saw Bai Yun lying on the ground and was about to go over when the soldiers stopped him.

"who!"

"You dare to lay a hand on me?!"

"kill him!"

"Ha, they really don't know what's good for them..."

"Go away!!"

Zoro's eyes flashed, and he instantly snatched the sword from the soldier's hand. With a sword, things would be much easier.

........

Meanwhile, in the castle atop the mountain.

The room was filled with countless medical and chemical instruments, and an alcohol lamp was burning so that a green liquid of unknown origin was constantly bubbling in a round bottle.

Nami opened her eyes. There was an ice pack on her forehead. Looking up, she saw that the ice pack was tied to the handle of an axe. Fortunately, the axe blade was facing outwards and it was propped up outside the ship. Otherwise, she would have been startled when she woke up.

Although she was still a little uncomfortable, Nami felt much more relaxed now than before, when it felt like a giant elephant was pressing down on her head.

"Um..."

Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings would make any normal person panic, let alone hearing footsteps. Nami immediately stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

This startled Chopper, who was holding the medical book.

The two looked at each other in confusion. Chopper realized what was happening and immediately hid behind the door, but his body was outside, so it seemed like he was blocking the way but not really.

Nami's speechless expression at the back of her head was, "You're dodging the wrong way."

Chopper immediately adjusted upon hearing this.

Nami was speechless. "It's too late."

Who are you?

Nami asked, "Although this is a tanuki that can walk upright... whatever it is, judging from its appearance, it should be harmless."

"It's so noisy!"

"I am a human being!"

"Are you... is your high fever gone?"

Chopper may be scared, but Chopper cares about you.

"You can talk!"

Nami said in surprise, "That was a bit loud. Are you surprised?"

But Chopper was so frightened that he jumped back and screamed in terror.

"Ughhhhh!!"

"Shut up, Chopper!!"

Kureha kicked Chopper right away; they truly are master and apprentice.

Kureha walked in holding a bottle of liquor, and pointed to Nami's forehead, knowing that her fever had subsided.

"Hehehe, looks like your fever has gone down. Are you happy, little girl?"

"You are?"

“I am Dr. Kureha, or you can call me Dr. Doriel.”

Kureha pushed up her sunglasses and looked Nami over carefully before replying.

"A doctor? And where is this place?"

"Do you want to know my secret to staying young?"

"Huh? No, I didn't ask that question."

"This is the castle atop the mountain."

Although their conversation was a bit disorganized, it was generally coherent.

"So, you mean you have two other patients besides me?"

Nami asked.

"Yeah, it's fast asleep next door, such a tenacious life force."

As Kureha answered, she lifted Nami's clothes, revealing the wound that Bai Yun had examined earlier.

"That's the cause of the illness."

"Ah...I know."

Nami was startled by Kureha's action, but after realizing what was happening, she said she knew.

"you know?"

“Well, one of my partners is a… ‘clumsy doctor.’ He’s found the cause of the illness, but he doesn’t know how to treat it.”

Nami pictured Bai Yun in her mind.

Upon hearing the words "incompetent doctor," Kureha raised an eyebrow and took another sip of her drink with a smile.

"I didn't expect that other people knew about the 'Five-Day Disease' caused by a type of insect called the 'Kaski'."

"This disease usually resolves itself after five days, because... people will die after five days!"

"However, little girl, you are very lucky. Today is the third day. If it had been two days later, unless there was a panacea, you would have been doomed."

"This disease disappeared more than 100 years ago. How could you have it, especially in your abdomen? Did you walk around naked on an ancient island? (Correct answer)"

"However, that little white snake with long horns in your hand is quite 'ancient,' I don't even recognize it."

Kureha walked over and stood against the table. Only then did Nami realize that Shiro was coiled up in her hand.

"Huh? Little White, how did you end up in my hands?"

Nami poked him, and Shiro woke up. Looking around, he opened his eyes wide and thought, "I'm doomed."

.......

Just now, before Sanji could even carry Nami on his back, Haku had already placed the little white thing around Nami's wrist.

"Little White, Luffy and Zoro will encounter a group of Laban when they go up the mountain. Use your glaring eyes to scare them away."

"Once you reach the castle at the top of the mountain safely, find a reindeer to come down and pull me up to save me."

"Understand?"

Little White nodded, indicating that it was on me, and then... slept from beginning to end...

Chapter 123 The God of Reindeer?

It's a snake.

They need to hibernate.

That's normal, right? The owner shouldn't be angry, it makes perfect sense.

Xiao Bai kept reassuring herself.

When Luffy and his crew started climbing the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, Shiro decided to take a nap, but who knew he would end up sleeping until now.

They completely forgot what Bai Yun had said.

However, it should still be possible to find one now.

Bai Yun: We're not late. If we don't hurry, do you think we'll make it?

at this time.

Luffy and Sanji grabbed Chopper and rushed into the room.

"Ah!! Help!!"

"Stop! Meat!!"

"Wait a minute, Luffy, let me cook it. We're going to eat it anyway, and it'll taste even better cooked."

Luffy is a pure glutton, while Sanji is interested in cooking with new types of ingredients.

"Luffy, Sanji, and that... talking blue-nosed doll."
