Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"I'll show you what a monster from the sea really looks like!!!"

"Eh?"

Chopper let out a questioning sound.

Then, he saw Luffy suddenly walk forward and stand in the very center of the arena.

Then, Chopper and everyone else saw Luffy suddenly raise his right hand and clench his fist.

The next second, a black shadow appeared on it.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Miraculous Cherry Blossoms Bloom, Baroque Studio Assembles!

Just when everyone was wondering what Luffy was doing.

They suddenly shuddered, their pupils shrinking to a tiny dot.

As soon as that black figure appeared, Luffy suddenly unleashed an unparalleled, earth-shattering aura.

Suddenly, it was as if a bomb exploded in his fist.

An extremely terrifying energy surge exploded out from it.

The terrifying purplish-black lightning instantly spread and radiated in all directions at lightning speed, like countless winding snakes.

In the blink of an eye, the slender, winding snake transformed into a thousand-meter-long dragon, and it continues to spread and grow.

At the same time, the sun seemed to be blocked by something.

The world suddenly turned dark.

In just a short moment, the entire area spanning tens of kilometers was covered by this terrifying purplish-black lightning.

The dark and gloomy scene, coupled with the roaring and rampaging purple-black dragon, made this area resemble a hellish realm, chilling to the bone.

Such a terrifying and earth-shattering scene immediately stunned everyone present, including those on the entire island!

Here at the castle.

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed, their faces covered in cold sweat, their pupils almost disappearing, their eyes revealing boundless shock and terror.

They were all trembling, their throats emitting trembling "ah" sounds, frozen in place as if they had seen a ghost.

And at the same time.

Everyone on Drum Island was terrified by the terrifying purplish-black lightning that almost covered the entire island.

One by one, their faces showed shock and fear as they looked up at the point where the lightning had converged—the highest mountain peak.

The Straw Hat crew members were all covered in cold sweat upon seeing this scene. They were shocked and filled with doubt, and each of them asked questions.

"Is that... Luffy?"

"What's Luffy doing? Wasn't he supposed to be looking for a doctor for Nami?"

"What happened to Luffy?"

...

This side of the castle.

Wapol stared in shock and fear at Luffy, who was walking slowly toward him like a ghost, so frightened that he couldn't move at all.

With each step Luffy took, Wapol's fear increased.

Wapol's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment when Luffy was already standing in front of him.

He mustered all his strength and uttered a trembling sound from his throat, like a dream.

"No...don't kill me!"

However, Luffy remained indifferent, with not a trace of pity in his eyes.

He raised his fist and silently punched it.

The fist, imbued with terrifying power, was still inside Wapol when...

It tore him to pieces, and he vanished into nothingness under the raging purple-black lightning.

The terrifying, dark purple lightning that blotted out the sky vanished, and the air fell into a moment of stillness.

The next second, after a moment of extreme shock, Wapol's men erupted in a rage.

"What... what's wrong with that guy? He's practically a legendary monster!"

"Why would a monster of this level appear so far down the Grand Line?"

"Is this the legendary power that only monsters possess, capable of destroying the world?"

"Monster... such terrifying power!"

"monster..."

Meanwhile, after a brief moment of stunned silence, the crowd on Dalton's side suddenly erupted in cheers.

"Wa...wapol has been killed! This country...is no longer plunged into darkness."

“Great, Wapol has finally disappeared from this country.”

"Thank you, Straw Hat Boy! Thank you for saving our country."

"Yes! Thank you for allowing us to establish a new country."

"Thank you..."

Hearing the sounds of shock, fear, and jubilation around him, Chopper stared blankly at Luffy and murmured to himself.

"Everyone is really calling Luffy a monster!"

"And...humans are actually thanking a monster!"

"Is this really not a dream?"

Chopper couldn't help but ask a question, as Luffy's words echoed in his mind.

"Monsters...are symbols of power!"

"Every pirate dreams of becoming a monster!"

"...Monsters are very popular!"

Suddenly, Chopper's eyes lit up with excitement, and his mouth moved slightly.

"I...want to become a monster like that too!"

Just then, Luffy, having defeated Wapol, came to Chopper's side and spoke.

"Chopper, weren't you supposed to protect Dr. Hiruluk's beliefs?"

"Smash those two guys and show them your resolve!"

Luffy's gaze fell upon the two officers standing beside Wapol.

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Chopper's gaze followed.

The next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened, his expression hardened, and he roared angrily.

"My name is Tony Tony Chopper!"

"This is the name given to me by the world's greatest doctor."

"Even if doctors can forgive you, I will never forgive...those of you who dared to mock doctors!"

After Chopper finished speaking, he took out a Rumble Ball and said to Hiluluk in his mind.

"Doctor, just you wait and see!"

"I will definitely win!"

"Because...I'm a monster!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Chopper swallowed the Rumble Ball and charged toward the two people.

Meanwhile, Dalton and his guards also engaged in battle with Wapol's underlings.

...

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

A room inside the castle.

Dr. Kureha and Dalton were discussing something.

Suddenly, Chopper pushed the door open and entered.

"Doctor Doriel, I have something to say to you."

Dr. Kureha said casually.

"Chopper, where did you go?"

"Perfect timing! I'm having the guards move the cannons down there, why don't you come and help them too!"

Chopper looked very excited and said.

"Listen to me, Dr. Kureha, I'm going to become a pirate!"

"I'm going to go with Luffy and the others!"

Dr. Kureha was taken aback by what she heard and asked a question.

"what?"

Chopper said, his eyes filled with longing.

"I want to go to the sea, I want to be their ship's doctor, and travel the world with them!"

Dr. Kureha suddenly erupted, her expression furious, and cursed.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Listen up! You're my only assistant. Don't you think about who taught you medicine? Do you want to repay kindness with enmity?"

Chopper was startled by Dr. Kureha's appearance and waved his hands repeatedly, saying...

"No...no, I am very grateful to Doctor Doriel."

“I also like this place very much, because it was here that I met Dr. Hiluluk and Dr. Doriel.”

Dr. Kureha took a sip of her drink, her tone becoming much calmer.

"Then stay! You'll never find a castle this wonderful anywhere else!"

"Being a pirate isn't easy; you can lose your life in no time."

Chopper's gaze was firm as he spoke.

"That doesn't matter."

Dr. Kureha frowned again upon hearing this, and said angrily.

"Don't try to be so self-important. I've never heard of reindeer being pirates."

Faced with such accusations, Chopper finally couldn't hold back and roared out loud.

"Yes, I am a reindeer."

"But I am a man!"

A moment of silence fell over the air.

next second.

Dr. Kureha suddenly erupted, picked up a knife and threw it at Chopper, which grazed his face.

"I've already said it, you're not allowed to go!"

"If you want to go, you'll have to step over me first."

Chopper was sweating profusely, but he muttered to himself.

"Doctor Doriel...please understand!"

Dr. Kureha persisted, throwing more knives at Chopper. Chopper was terrified, his eyes bulged out, his face was covered in cold sweat, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he screamed continuously.

"Waaaaaah..."
