Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

"Hey, if you don't come out soon, I'm having someone take care of you too."

Suddenly, just as the battle ended, Zane turned to look at a large tree not far away, and shouted with a smile.

"Help!!!"

Chopper, who had been hiding behind a big tree and secretly watching, was so frightened that his hat flew off, and he turned and ran away crying.

Moreover, as it ran, it transformed from a raccoon into a reindeer, creating a long trail of snow.

"A talking reindeer?"

As Chopper escaped, Baby-5 reacted quickly and charged after him aggressively.

She paused for a moment when she saw that the escapee was a reindeer.

"Just an ability user, nothing strange about it."

Zane came up from behind, put his arm around Chopper's waist, and headed in the direction Chopper had gone.

The hunting party's fifty guards followed closely behind.

After a while.

Zain arrived at a treehouse built from a towering tree.

Obviously, Chopper couldn't have been living in the Drum Mountain castle before Wapol escaped.

The treehouse is Chopper's current residence.

Crunch!

Just as Zain and the others arrived, the door of the treehouse was pushed open from the inside, and a rather fashionable woman stepped out.

Hmm... Her body looks young, but the wrinkles on her face are enough to prove that this fashionable woman is already an old lady.

"Kids, you're not from Drum Island, are you? What are you doing here?" Kureha put one hand on her hip, glanced around, and then looked at Zane.

Three-eyed tribe?

I never imagined that the three-eyed race still existed in this world.

That's great.

Life shouldn't wither away like that.

Kureha subtly observed the third eye on the man's forehead, and upon confirming its authenticity, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Behind her legs is Chopper, who has transformed back into a tanuki but has hidden his body inside out.

Their round eyes looked at Zane and the others with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

"I've come because of your reputation and would like to invite you two to join my team." Looking at Kureha and Chopper opposite him, Zane immediately stated his purpose with a smile.

"An invitation? Are you pirates?" Kureha raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Chopper behind him widened his eyes, becoming even more curious.

Because of its childhood experiences, it has a deep longing for pirates.

Zane shook his head: "No, strictly speaking, I should be considered a professional hunter."

"Professional hunter? Bounty hunter, I guess. Oh well, whatever. I appreciate your invitation, but I have no intention of leaving Drum Island," Kureha said casually.

As a doctor, especially a top doctor who has mastered world-class medical skills.

She was invited to events far too often.

Therefore, she was not surprised at all by Zain's invitation.

"Really? That's such a pity," Zain said with great regret.

Although the main target of this trip is Chopper, it would be even better if Kureha could also be invited onto the ship.

This person's medical skills are very likely to be the best in the world.

"And this one, may I invite it?"

When Kureha refused, Zane looked at Chopper, who was hiding behind her, and pointed at him.

"Me?!" Chopper pointed at his face with his little hoof in astonishment.

Kureha was also slightly taken aback.

She gave Zane a deep look: "You seem to know a lot about us, huh?"

If it were just her, it wouldn't be surprising that she was invited.

But Chopper is different.

Although he inherited her medical skills, this was never known to outsiders.

"Since I've come all this way, I must know you two quite well. Chopper, right? Would you like to go out to sea and see the world?" Zane smiled and then asked Chopper in a tempting tone.

"This..." Chopper, recovering from his astonishment, hesitated.

Want to see the outside world?

If it could, it certainly would.

It has a great longing for the outside world.

But.....

"I don't want to!" Chopper suddenly shouted, then dashed back into the treehouse.

"Hey, how dare you yell at our leader?" Baby-5 angrily tried to step forward, but was immediately pulled back by Zane.

"Good boy, that little guy is just a little shy." Zane patted the pretty maid's head reassuringly.

"Damn it, I'm not shy!" came Chopper's angry shout from inside the treehouse.

"Hey, you're from the Three-Eyed Clan, aren't you? Although I haven't been out for a long time, I know that your clan is in a rather precarious situation. I won't allow my lovely disciple to be in danger," Kureha suddenly said.

She stared straight at Zain.

Upon meeting the other person's gaze, Zain immediately understood what they meant.

He immediately burst out laughing.

"I've heard that the king of this country is a rather wicked person. I don't think you'd mind if I made him disappear, would you?" Zane turned to look at the towering Drum Mountain in the distance.

Kureha raised an eyebrow: "Of course I don't mind. That bastard Wapol should have disappeared long ago."

Is Wapol going to be used to prove he can protect Chopper?

Good. If this kid can really do it, then I can not only hand Chopper over to him with peace of mind, but this country can also be a little more stable.

"It's snowing, so lightning should accompany it."

Glistening snowflakes gradually drifted down from the sky.

Zain glanced at the snowflakes falling on his hand and chuckled softly.

thunderbolt!!!

His body transformed into lightning.

In an instant, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky above Drum Island, like a silver dragon dancing in the air.

A dazzling flash of lightning shot from the treehouse to the distant Drum Mountain, and then, in the blink of an eye, it returned from Drum Mountain to land in front of the treehouse.

"Alright, you'll soon hear the news that the king of this country has disappeared." Zane, arms crossed, smiled at Kureha.

"You... Rumble-Rumble Fruit?" Kureha stared at Zane in shock.

Kureha, who has lived for over 100 years and is a world-class doctor, has an experience far richer than most.

"right!"

Zane nodded slightly and said with a smile, "How about it? Now you should believe that I can protect your disciple, right?"

"I didn't expect you to actually find this long-lost Invincible Fruit. It seems I was worried for nothing." Kureha quickly calmed down and laughed along.

No wonder this three-eyed kid so brazenly exposed his third eye.

If it's a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then indeed very few people can do anything to them.

Similarly, with a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as her protector, she could confidently let little Chopper go out and explore.

........

Once Zane revealed his Rumble-Rumble Fruit powers, things naturally went smoothly from there.

After a heart-to-heart talk between Kureha and Chopper, the mentor and apprentice, and mother and son, Chopper finally understood his feelings and chose to go to sea with Zane.

In addition to gaining an excellent doctor, Zain also successfully obtained the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

That's right.

He just went to Drum Mountain, not only to make Wapol disappear, but also to steal his Gluttony Fruit power.

This fruit's power is also one of the reasons Zain came to Drum Island.

The Gluttony Fruit allows the user to eat any object and transform it into part of their body.

It can also synthesize ingested objects into new alloys and other substances.

It can even alter its body by consuming itself.

Its various uses are quite remarkable.
