One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Inside the guest rooms of Drum Castle, the fireplace crackled and popped, dispelling the chill of the mountains.

Nami slowly opened her eyes in the warm bed.

The heaviness in my body has disappeared, and the intense heat that felt like it was burning my internal organs has subsided, replaced by a long-lost sense of ease.

"Well……"

She propped herself up and sat up, looking around.

The room was quiet, with only one person sitting in a chair by the window.

Victor was standing by the bedside, holding a thick medical book in his hands (actually, he was looking at the system store).

Hearing the noise, he closed the book and turned around.

"woke up?"

Viktor didn't seem too excited; he simply asked in a calm tone.

"Where are the others?" Nami rubbed her temples.

"It's making a racket outside; they're probably throwing a party to celebrate your recovery."

Viktor stood up and walked to the bedside.

He looked at Nami's face, which had regained its rosy hue, and a smile appeared on his lips. Then he pulled out a long piece of parchment from his pocket.

"Now that you're awake, let's settle the score, Miss Navigator."

"Dr. Gureva's consultation fees, heating costs, medicine costs... and compensation for my emotional distress, and the cost of carrying you up the mountain..."

"A total of 5000 million Berries, thank you for your patronage. Installment payment is available, interest will be calculated separately."

"ha?!!"

Nami instantly bristled, her earlier weakness vanishing completely.

She transformed into a fierce-looking kitten with sharp teeth, gripping the blanket and howling:

"5000 million?! Are you a monster?! Why don't you just rob someone?!"

"And you expect to be paid for digging your companion out of the snow?! You bastard!"

Viktor couldn't help but laugh as he watched Nami's energetic and unrestrained cursing.

"Ah, that's great, it seems I'm completely healed, I even have the energy to swear now."

Victor put away the bill and sat back down in his chair.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

Nami looked at Viktor's face, which still wore a smile but whose eyes betrayed an undeniable weariness, and her anger suddenly vanished.

She remembered the warm figure before she lost consciousness, and the embrace that held her tightly when the avalanche struck.

Nami bit her lip, suddenly shedding her usual tough and greedy facade.

She leaned forward, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged Victor.

"……Thank you."

Nami buried her face in Viktor's chest, her voice soft and trembling slightly:

"If it weren't for you... I might be dead already."

Viktor paused for a moment, his body stiffening slightly.

Then, he smiled helplessly, raised his hand, and gently touched her soft orange hair with the back of his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"If you die, who will I ask for my hundreds of millions of Berries?"

"Can't you say something nice?" Nami complained in his arms, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Then... how about something else?" Victor's voice softened: "Welcome back, my navigator."

The air in the room seemed to become thick and sweet at that moment, and the firelight illuminated the two figures embracing, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

……

If we don't count the reindeer peeking in from outside the door.

"Squeak—"

The door was pushed open a crack.

A little blue-nosed reindeer was trying to come in to check on the patient when it happened to witness this scene.

From Chopper's simple, instinctive perspective, a man and a woman are embracing, their scents mingling...

"ah!!!!"

Chopper covered his eyes in terror, his face turning as red as a tomato, and hurriedly backed away, only to land on his bottom with a thud.

"I'm so sorry!! I didn't know you were mating!! Sorry to disturb you!!"

The next second, a pillow hit the door with pinpoint accuracy.

"Who's mating?! You perverted deer!!" Nami's furious roar echoed throughout the castle.

……

Nami has fully recovered from her illness. Although she is still a little weak, she is already able to walk.

The group stood outside the castle, ready to depart.

"Hey! Reindeer! Come with us!"

Luffy chased Chopper all over the snow, extending a sincere invitation: "Be our crewmate!!"

Chopper stopped in his tracks.

It had its back to everyone, its head bowed, and its small body trembled slightly in the wind and snow.

"No...no..."

Chopper's voice trembled with tears as he spoke the reason that had been troubling him all along:

"I'm a reindeer! But I have a blue nose, I can talk, and I can walk on two legs..."

"I'm a monster!!"

Chopper turned around, tears streaming down his face, and shouted:

"Although I long to be with you all... I have no human companions! A monster like me... doesn't deserve companions!"

"You can go now! I'll see you off here..."

Chopper cried and wanted to push away the group of friends he had finally made.

however.

"Stop arguing!!!!"

A deafening roar interrupted Chopper's feelings of inferiority.

Luffy stood on the snow, mouth agape, and roared out that unreasonable declaration with all his might:

"Let's go!!!!"

No reason or explanation is needed.

Since I've taken a liking to you, then you're my partner!

Chopper was stunned by the shout and stared blankly at Luffy.

At that moment, Victor slowly walked up to Chopper, who was stunned.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the group of friends behind him who were smiling at him—

Rubber Man Luffy, Three-Sword Style Zoro, Curly-Eyebrowed Chef Sanji, Long-Nosed Usopp, Navigator Nami, and a talking crow.

"Look at this ship, Chopper."

Viktor crouched down, his deep eyes looking directly into Chopper's tearful eyes, and said with a smile:

"In this 'monster paradise'..."

Victor extends his hand:

"Wouldn't it be perfect to have another blue-nosed reindeer doctor?"

"We are all... monsters, you know."

Hearing those words and seeing those sincere, unpretentious smiling faces...

Chopper's last line of defense completely collapsed.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Chopper opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-wrenching cry, not of sadness, but of the joy of finally releasing years of pent-up loneliness:

"That's...that's despicable!!"

"I...I'll go with you!! Dr. Kureha!! I want to be a pirate!!"

……

Parting is always sad.

To prevent the sadness from spreading, Dr. Gureva pretended to be angry and brandished various weapons to drive everyone out of the castle.

"Get out of here, you annoying brats!"

When the Straw Hat crew took Chopper on a sled and rushed down the mountain along the cable car...

Standing atop the castle, Dr. Kureha watched the departing figure, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Go on, you stupid son."

"After all these years, finally someone's willing to take you out to sea..."

"Since you're leaving, let me give you the grandest farewell gift."

She suddenly pulled down the lever next to her.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

All the cannons around the castle opened fire simultaneously.

But what was fired was not a cannonball, but rather a special pink powder that Dr. Hiluluk had dedicated his life to researching.

The dust exploded in the air and adhered to the snowflakes that were flying everywhere.

A miracle happened.

The once cold and desolate winter island was transformed in that instant into a giant cherry blossom tree standing tall in the snow country!

Pink snowflakes fell, turning the entire Cigu Mountain red.

Those are cherry blossoms called "Miracle".

"Wow!! So beautiful!!" Nami and Luffy exclaimed as they looked at the sky.

Chopper sat at the back of the sled, gazing at the pink expanse, and recalled Dr. Hiluluk's dying vow—

【I want this white country to bloom with cherry blossoms!!】

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah... Doctor..."

Chopper cried his eyes out and shouted at the sky:

"Did you see that?! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom!!"

"And... I have a partner now!!!"

……

They took Chopper back to the Going Merry.

As soon as he boarded the ship, Chopper was fascinated by everything on board and was soon taken to a banquet by Luffy and Usoppra.

Victor stood on the deck, watching Drum Island recede into the distance; it was a pink snow-capped mountain.

"So beautiful."

A crisp system notification sounded in my mind.

【Ding! 】

[Completed the story milestone: The Miracle of Drum Island.]

[Recruiting an important partner: Ship's doctor Tony Tony Chopper.]

[Gained 1000 Ninja Points.]

"Adding what was left before, now I have 2500 points again...?"

Viktor stretched, in a great mood.

At this moment, Nami changed into a thick set of clothes, glanced at the permanent pointer in her hand, and shouted loudly to the group that was still fooling around:

"Alright everyone! Enough with the fooling around!"

"Full speed ahead!"

"Next stop... escorting Vivi back to Alabasta!"

"oh!!"
