Chapter 132: Chopper's Rumble Ball
With Belinda and Kureha gone, only Mu Chong, his two companions, and Chopper, who was hiding behind a chair, remained in the house.
"Captain! Belinda went in with that old woman, will she be alright?"
Slad looked around the room, then leaned closer to Mu Chong and said...
"Hahaha! Don't worry! Nothing will happen! Judging from Kureha's words, it seems like there's some story behind it!"
As Mu Chong spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Chopper's hiding place; he was pondering how to obtain that guy's Rumble Ball.
"Hmm! To live at such a high altitude and be a doctor, this old lady must be quite something!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Slad slowly relaxed, and then muttered to himself...
"Captain! What's that little guy behind the chair? He looks like a human, but has the body of an animal. Is he some kind of special species?"
At this moment, Enel, who had been munching on an apple nearby, looked at Chopper, who was hiding, and slowly said...
"Uh! That's a reindeer that ate a Devil Fruit, and it has a human-like physique and life skills!"
Mu Chong explained with a smile, then waved to Chopper.
"Hey! Brave Dr. Chopper, I think if you stepped out from behind your chair, you'd be a really amazing person!"
"Huh??"
Mu Chong's words left Slard and Enel stunned. What was the captain doing?
Just as the two were wondering what was going on, Chopper, who had been hiding behind the chair, awkwardly came out, occasionally muttering words of thanks.
"Hahaha! You're so annoying! I'm nowhere near as outstanding as you say! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha! Tony Tony Chopper is the most amazing doctor I've ever seen. I've always admired your Rumble Ball. May I see it for myself, Dr. Chopper?"
Seeing Chopper's reaction, Mu Chong laughed. He really was that guy who gets shy when praised.
"Huh? How do you know about the Rumble Ball? And besides, I'm nowhere near as good as you say! Hehehe!"
Upon hearing this, Chopper was taken aback at first, then became shy and fidgety again, leaving Slade and the other person watching in stunned silence.
Mu Chong watched Chopper's reaction without saying anything more, just smiling at him.
Swish!
"what?"
Sensing something was wrong, Chopper quickly hid behind the chair again, watching Mu Chong and the other two warily.
"You, you guys are definitely lying to my Rumble Ball! What you just said must have been a lie! Humph!"
Chopper's eyes flashed with panic, and his tone was full of rejection.
"Hahahaha! I did want your Rumble Ball, but what I said earlier was also true. So, Chopper, can you tell me how you developed the Rumble Ball? If so, I can have him tell you the stories of the high seas!"
Mu Chong abandoned his playful attitude and spoke with a serious expression, pointing at Slade.
Chopper's Rumble Ball is one of the goals of Mu Chong's trip. It allows Zoan-type Devil Fruits to have multiple transformations and various enhancement abilities.
"Huh? You, are you pirates? And how do you know I have a Rumble Ball?"
At this moment, Chopper's little head was full of question marks. This man in front of him seemed to understand him very well.
"Hahahaha! We're not pirates! Chopper! We're adventurers who sail freely on the high seas. The ocean is an incredibly exciting place for adventure. Do you want to know the stories behind it?"
"Mmm! Yes! Yes!"
"That! A Rumble Ball?"
"Uh! This..."
At this point, Chopper hesitated, his expression shifting repeatedly, filled with conflict.
"Hehehe! I never expected a man like you to have the mindset to tease a child like that. It's rare indeed!"
Just then, Kureha slowly emerged from the inner room. Hearing Mu Chong's words, she teased him, followed by Belinda, whose eyes were red.
"Tch! Chopper's Rumble Ball is indeed an amazing research technology. I'm also very curious, so I want to learn more about it!"
Upon hearing Kureha's words, Mu Chong rubbed his nose, seemingly feeling ashamed that his thoughts had been exposed. His reaction made Slad behind him secretly chuckle.
"Hehehe! Hey, Chopper! Your research has been recognized by others!"
Kureha didn't answer Mu Chong directly. Instead, she turned to look at Chopper, who was hiding behind her, and said something before turning back to Mu Chong.
"Even if you were given Chopper's Rumble Ball technique, you wouldn't be able to figure it out. Let your ship's doctor have a chat with Chopper!"
Kureha glanced at Mu Chong, then pointed to Belinda, who had returned to Mu Chong's side.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing the other person's words, Mu Chong was taken aback, his eyes fixed on Kureha as if he had seen something, but Kureha remained calm and composed.
"Hahahaha! Great! Thank you very much, Ms. Kureha! And of course, Dr. Chopper too!"
Mu Chong didn't dwell on what had happened; as long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.
Subsequently, with Kureha's support, Belinda and Chopper secretly exchanged ideas and conducted research, ultimately obtaining the perfect method for creating the Rumble Ball.
During this time, Mu Chong tried to ask Kureha why she was helping them so earnestly, but she just smiled slightly and said only one sentence.
"Thank you for everything you've done for Drum Island. I hope Belinda will be happy on your ship from now on!"
After saying this, Kureha drove Mu Chong and his companions out of the mountaintop castle, leaving Mu Chong bewildered in the wind and snow.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! Captain, you're such a failure!"
"Hehehehe! I'm sorry, Captain! That's just how Granny Kureha is!"
"Tch! Hey! Enel, don't you have something to say too?"
After listening to Slad and Belinda's words, Mu Chong turned to Enel, who was pretending to be calm, and asked...
"Tch! Give me back my apple! Stingy captain!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The laughter was buried by the wind and snow. Mu Chong and his companions leaped directly from the 5,000-meter-high mountain peak and, guided by Belinda, headed straight for the royal palace.
Meanwhile, in her room at the mountaintop castle, Kureha picked up the bottle again, took a large gulp, and muttered to herself...
"Sigh! Go! Child! Drum Island has left you with too much pain. Perhaps following that man will allow you to experience a different life!"
"Dolly's mother, what is an adventurer? They just said they were adventurers!"
After Mu Chong and his group left, Chopper was no longer so afraid and walked over to Kureha and asked...
"Hmm? Hehehe! An adventurer? What a curious young man! An adventurer, huh..."
The sounds of conversation inside the room grew fainter and fainter as the camera zoomed out, until they were swallowed by the wind and snow.
"Captain! That's the royal palace!"
The four people, still in the air, could see a tall, white building in the distance; its luxurious exterior spoke of its grandeur.
"Hmm! Do you know where the royal palace keeps its medical books, Belinda?"
The four members of the group stood in mid-air, with Belinda maintaining her balance under the control of the Wood-Wood Fruit's power.
“I know! Captain! I came to the palace with my parents when I was little! I remember the way!”
At this moment, Belinda felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.
"Alright! Let's go get the medical books!"
Following Belinda's direction, the four people in the air flew directly towards the back of the palace.
There was a luxuriously decorated two-story pavilion there, guarded by soldiers at the foot of the pavilion, but the arrival of Mu Chong and his companions did not attract their attention.
"Captain! This is it! Look! This place is full of medical books. These were collected from the kingdom when Wapol expelled the kingdom's doctors!"
As soon as the four entered the attic, Belinda excitedly began to introduce the place, even running straight to the bookshelf to touch the neatly arranged medical books.
Wow! So many medical books? How are we supposed to carry them all?
Slad was also surprised by what he saw. The entire second floor of the attic was filled with rows of bookshelves, each one completely full.
"Hehehe! As expected of a medical superpower! With such a foundation, it's hard not to cultivate outstanding doctors, but unfortunately, Walpo has made a mess of it!"
Mu Chong also sighed.
"Who? Who's there???"
