After clearing the doubts of the raccoon and reindeer, Sanji met up with Luffy and Usopp. The group followed Choba, the blue-nosed reindeer who had eaten the "Man-Man-Fruit", to the castle at the peak of the snowy mountain.
"So, Choba, you're planning to build a boat with those wooden planks?" Luffy wrapped his arms like a rubber band and carried a thick wooden plank on his shoulder. He stared at Choba with stars in his eyes and said, "That's an amazing idea."
"No, it's not amazing at all. I haven't even started building a boat yet." Choba scratched his head and sounded a little shy. However, his face clearly showed the ecstasy of being praised. He looked strangely funny and cute.
"So, Dr. Culeja is your teacher who taught you medical skills? You want to build a ship to go out to sea just to find Dr. Culeja?" Usopp interjected and asked.
The snowy peak and the ground were covered in sharp mottled fine lines. Even some of the craggy boulders had such marks. The group braved the wind and snow from all directions and walked towards the top of the mountain.
"Yes, Dr. Culeja was taken away by the bad guys. Not only that, the entire Magnetic Drum Island has withered. This is a lifeless island. I was afraid that the monster under the ice lake would come back, so I had to leave this place," Choba suddenly shuddered as he recalled with a horrified expression.
"Monster under the ice lake? Yeah, where are the people on this island? "
"It's the ice layer that refroze. See, there's a sunken hole there. All the trees and animals on this island were eaten by that hole. I don't know how to describe that monster or should I say human …" Choba still had lingering fears and did not want to continue the topic. Instead, he replied, "The people on this island were all transformed into cold and bloodthirsty soldiers by Wapol. They seemed to have gone to Alabasta. I'm not sure, but Dr. Culeha was indeed taken away by Wapol's people."
"We're here!" Choba pointed at the wooden door. There was a small door beside it that could allow Choba to pass through, but Luffy and the rest would definitely not be able to enter.
Before Choba could say anything, Sanji kicked down the wooden door and walked in. He placed Nami on the carpet beside the fireplace.
Choba quickly made some healing pills from the bottles beside him and stuffed them into Nami's mouth. Soon, Nami's breathing stabilized and her body temperature began to drop.
Seeing that Nami's condition was under control and rapidly improving, Luffy and the rest were obviously relieved. They then looked at Choba with admiration. "Choba, I've decided. You'll be our ship doctor."
"I can't join you. I still have to find Dr. Culeha." Choba refused.
"We can help you save Dr. Culeha," Luffy and the rest. Luffy said without hesitation, "Then you don't have to build a ship. We have a great ship, and we are all very powerful. We can definitely help you save Dr. Culeja. Don't worry."
Choba's eyes lit up. Usopp suddenly said worriedly, "Choba, the Wapol you're talking about isn't the statue in the palace, is it?"
"Yes, that's Dr. Cuculeha." Choba nodded.
Usopp's face immediately turned pale. Luffy and Sanji's faces also sank. Then, without waiting for the other two to speak, Luffy smiled and said, "Isn't that great? They're all in East Blue. We can rush to Alabasta to find Dr. Culeha, catch her one step ahead of time, and then leave safely."
"Usopp, are you afraid?" Luffy looked at Usopp and asked.
This question obviously touched Usopp's sore spot. He immediately jumped up from the ground and put on a brave expression and said, "How can that be? The warriors of the sea are fearless."
Sanji sat on the ground and raised his curly eyebrows while looking at Usopp who was trembling. He did not refute, but his face quietly became dignified and hazy.
"Well, if that's the case, then I'm willing to join your pirate group." Choba's face was tangled for a while, and then his face changed. His eyes and nose were full of excitement and joy, but he said shyly, "I didn't agree so easily. By the way, where is your ship?"
"It's docked on the snow beach, in that direction." Luffy pointed.
Chopper jumped onto the window, picked up the binoculars next to him and looked at the edge of the coast. Then he turned his neck stiffly and looked at Luffy and the others with a strange expression. "Is it the pirate ship with the sheep head cut off?"
Wouch!
The sharp Chop Wave passed like the wind. Zoro raised his right wrist and shook it. The Snowwalk instantly bent like a bow, resisting the impact of the Chop Wave. The aftermath of the Chop Wave cut off a piece of flesh from Zoro's shoulders. At the same time, the wider aftermath slammed into the bow of the Golden Merry.
The goat-shaped sheep's head split along the neck and then slid out obliquely and inserted into the snow.
Baldy Spotted, who had been lying on the deck dozing off, suddenly got up. His muscles, which had become more muscular during this period of time, trembled like flowing water. He opened his mouth, and his sharp teeth dripped with stinky saliva. He growled at Daz Bonis, and his cat-like vertical eyes were filled with ferocity.
"You destroyed the Captain's special seat!" Zoro's eyelids twitched wildly. He seemed to have seen Luffy and Usopp's angry faces, as well as the bastard with thick curly eyebrows gloating and ridiculing him.
The former was still acceptable, but the latter was something that Zoro could not tolerate. He gritted his teeth and suddenly grinned. Then, he ran forward. The movement of the snow seemed to be breathing as it slowly synchronized with his body's movements. It was as if they had completely merged into one. The sword had become an extension of his arm.
"Dust Speed Slash!"
Daz Bonis' feet twisted into blade-shaped skates. His whole body rushed along the snow, making a "whistling" sound. At the same time, a sharp blade bulged on one of his arms. His five fingers were strangely elongated into sharp hooks and slashed towards Zoro who was rushing towards him.
Streaks of sharp blades cut through the air. The air was shattered from all angles like waves of water. Cracks of different sizes suddenly appeared on the ground. The shattered ice and stones were shattered into small pieces.
Zoro's hand held the Snowwalk. His long arm and the blade turned back into the scabbard. Then he pulled it out like lightning. It was as if he and the sword were rolling up a cold light at the same time. Before he arrived, an invisible sword edge crushed the air and formed a fault, cutting through the ripples.
