Chapter 279 Chopper
"Huh? It's actually a devil fruit! And it's mushroom-shaped. This is the first time I've seen one like this. Why is my luck so good today? Has my luck returned after being away from Wendy?
Wendy is still lying in bed, so it’s really not right to think this way, but why do I feel this explanation is reasonable? "
Wick was a little amused and helpless. He remembered what happened at sea when he came to Drum Island before. It was such a sad and tearful experience. Until now, Wick was still cursing Kaido in his heart for being a unkind man.
After taking a closer look at the devil fruit in his hand, Victor had some vague guesses, but since he had not seen the devil fruit encyclopedia, he was not very sure.
Without knowing anything, Vic put the devil fruits into the other-dimensional space. Now there are three devil fruits in the space, the Table-Table Fruit, the Monkey-Ape Fruit, and the one he just got. He is very rich now. Vic is in a better mood.
However, before Vic had walked far, he saw a lot of red bloodstains in the snow. Looking in the direction of the bloodstains, Vic saw a group of reindeer gathered together, and they seemed a little excited.
Vic took a few quick steps and rushed over there. A reindeer on guard saw Vic coming and immediately let out a long roar to inform the other reindeer. The other reindeer quickly ran away, but after running a few hundred meters, they stopped and looked towards Vic.
Vic has arrived at the place where the deer herd was just now. The bloodstains on the snow have spread here, and the small piece of snow here has been completely dyed red with blood.
In the middle of the snow lay a dying reindeer. It looked like it was less than a month old. It was very small, half the size of the smallest reindeer in the herd.
Vic saw the conspicuous blue in the little reindeer's brown fur and recognized its identity.
"Is that Chopper? He has been isolated since birth. His mother didn't even feed him milk, and she often beat and scolded him. No wonder he is still so small.
Is it because you are different or because they are animals? Different? Different from birth?"
Victor glanced at Chopper, who was covered in wounds on the ground, then looked back at the place where he had just picked up the devil fruit. It was really close!
Vic took out medicine and bandages from the space, applied the medicine and bandaged the treated wound at the same time.
Chopper's eyelids were a little weak, but he tried to keep his eyes open and stare at Vic's face. The deer in the distance were still staring at Vic, and the squirrel that was still in the tree and had not run far away was also looking at Vic curiously!
"Blue Nose, it seems that your parents and tribe don't like you. From now on, just stay out of other people's way. Your deer life will be very different. I will take you away from here first!"
Wick doesn't want to see Dr. Chopper, who can transform into six different forms, disappear in the long river of history. The world would be much less exciting if that happened!
Vic picked up Chopper, who was almost like a mummy, and walked back the way he came. He was no longer planning to go hunting.
At the edge of the forest, Vic found a big tree that required three or four people to hug together, and dug a big hole in the tree ten meters above the ground, with the hole facing away from the wind and snow.
After cleaning up all the sawdust in the cave, Vic took out a quilt and other warm things from the space and spread them on the bottom of the cave. He then took out a large bowl, poured milk in it and handed it to Chopper.
"Drink, Blue Nose! You are seriously injured now, you must eat something good. I will come to see you every day in the next few days, you just stay here and don't go out. If you want to leave, you have to wait until your injury is healed."
Vic didn't know whether Chopper, who hadn't eaten the human-human fruit yet, could understand what he said, but Vic found that Chopper's smart eyes were always looking at him, and at least he could sense good and evil.
Chopper lay on the quilt and didn't drink the milk. I don't know if it was because his injuries were too serious or he didn't understand what Vic said, but he was still looking at Vic curiously.
Vic had no choice but to demonstrate, lying on the ground and licking the milk in the bowl for Chopper to see. Chopper was quite smart even though he hadn't eaten the devil fruit. He learned it just by watching Vic do it once. He also stretched his head to lick the milk in the bowl. This was probably the first time Chopper drank milk. He liked it very much and licked it happily. He seemed to have forgotten the injuries on his body.
"Blue Nose, not bad, drink it all, your life shouldn't be in danger anymore! I'll give you something to be on the safe side!"
Seeing Chopper finish drinking the milk, Vic stroked his head and said, then took out all the devil fruits from the other dimension, put the bowl of milk aside, and then placed the three devil fruits in front of Chopper.
"This is called a devil fruit. Two of them are animal-type. Eating them can help you recover faster.
There is another one that is a Superman type. You can pick one and eat it. It may taste a bit bad, but I still have some candy. You can eat some candy after you finish it!"
Vic placed three devil fruits in front of Chopper and introduced them to him regardless of whether Chopper could understand them or not. As for which one Chopper would choose, it was up to him.
Chopper was still looking at Vic at first, but when Vic placed three strange fruits of different shapes and colors in front of him, Chopper's attention was attracted by the three devil fruits, and his eyes moved back and forth looking at the three devil fruits.
Chopper looked at the devil fruit for a long while before looking back at Vic, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Pick one. Don't eat too much of this, or it will explode!" Vic looked at Chopper with a smile, with encouragement in his eyes.
Chopper seemed to understand what Vic said and let out a childish cry, then looked at the devil fruits again. He just stared at the mushroom-shaped devil fruit on the far right and didn't even look at the other two. Seeing Chopper's choice, Vic's smile became even bigger.
"Is it really destined? Yes, there is probably no one in this world except you who can bring out the power of this fruit to its fullest!"
Victor felt a little emotional, Chopper and the ordinary human form of the Human-Human Fruit were indeed destined to be together!
"You can't move now, I'll feed you. It tastes terrible! But don't spit it out. This is a chance to change your fate. You will be able to escape from ignorance and start a more exciting and self-aware life!"
It's really difficult for Chopper to eat now. In the original work, he probably just took a casual bite after being seriously injured.
Vic put away the other two devil fruits, picked up the Human-Human Fruit and put it to Chopper's mouth. Chopper took a bite without hesitation, but the unpleasant taste made him spit out some. Vic held his mouth shut as he was about to spit. The bite was too big, and Vic sealed his mouth so he couldn't spit it out, so he could only swallow it instinctively.
