Chapter 293 Sad Chopper
Although Vic has to look for the Thunder Fruit, he will not waste too much time. If he does not find it within a few months, he will go straight back to the Navy Headquarters to report.
"Okay! I understand!" Wendy took the life card with a heavy heart and responded.
"Dr. Kureha, Dr. Yuejian! Wendy will be staying here for a while, please take care of her!"
Vic turned around and said to the two old men who had made extraordinary achievements in their professional fields that Wendy actually didn't need anyone to take care of her because her fighting power was strong enough, but Vic still hoped that Wendy could stay here and wait for Zefa's arrival.
"Don't worry, Vic! Leave the little girl Wendy to us. We will definitely help you raise her into a plump and healthy girl!" Upon hearing Vic's words, Dr. Yuejian immediately patted his chest and agreed.
"This is my home! Who asked an old man like you to agree to this? Go with peace of mind, Vic! I will make sure this girl leaves Magnetic Drum Island in good health."
Kuleha retorted to Dr. Tsukimi. Her daily routine is to drink and retort to Dr. Tsukimi. Vic is often not here, and Wendy is a patient. Only Dr. Tsukimi can be chatted and argued with, adding a touch of life to the tree house.
"Hehe, it's your home and you have the final say!" Dr. Yuejian was a little embarrassed. He was indeed taking over the place of the host. He himself needed to stay here temporarily and ask this old witch about the mysteries of the human body. He was like a dependent, but he would seriously complete Vic's instructions.
After waving goodbye to the three people, Vic left the Book Tree House directly. He was not going to give out the medical book in the secret room of Drum Peak to others yet. He had a hunch that it might be of great use in the future!
Kuleha didn't care whether Vic left or not. She was never very welcoming to men, so she just sat there drinking and ignored Vic.
Wendy and Dr. Yuejian sent Vic out of the house. Looking at Vic's leaving back, Wendy couldn't control her tears again. Dr. Yuejian was also deeply moved. He was really a man of his words, and the people around him had infinite trust in him.
After leaving Kuleha's tree house, Vic did not leave Drum Island immediately. He still needed to say goodbye to Chopper.
Chopper hasn't seen him for three days. If he left without saying goodbye, Chopper would probably cry to death. That would be too much of a blow and would be really cruel to Chopper, who was only a few months old.
Vic walked to the tree with the hole in it and saw a bunch of fresh black feces under the tree. This was what Chopper did on the tree.
After taking a few more glances, Vic curled up the corners of his mouth, then he climbed up the tree hole using the moon steps.
In the tree hole, Chopper was reading a book, reading aloud as he read, very seriously, until Vic fell beside him and woke Chopper up.
"Vic! You're finally back! I missed you so much! Woo woo!" Seeing Vic behind him, Chopper immediately threw himself on Vic's legs with tears coming out. His mood, which was just now when he was reading seriously, completely changed.
"Haha! Blue Nose! I told you you'd be back in a few days. How's your reading going? I need to check it out!"
Vic smiled and touched Chopper's fluffy head. Chopper is so small now, really cute. All cubs are like this. Maybe Chopper survived because of this appearance!
"Well! Vic, come here! I've been studying hard." Chopper's attention was immediately attracted by Vic's words. He wanted to perform in front of Vic, so he stopped crying and waited for Vic to ask questions with a serious face.
"Forget it. Seeing how confident you are, I know you studied hard. You don't need to take the exam. Let's go! Find a new place to settle down!"
Vic didn't really want to test Chopper. He said so before to divert Chopper's attention, and he said so now to do the same. Chopper was completely fooled back and forth. However, Chopper's attitude was really serious, and there was no need to worry that he would be lazy.
When Chopper heard Vic's words, he looked at Vic in confusion. He had been studying hard these days, except for eating and sleeping, he was studying all the time, just to perform better in front of Vic and get Vic's praise.
But all his hard work was in vain! He just said it in one sentence, and Chopper froze in his place with a dazed look on his face.
Vic didn't care about Chopper's cute little expression. He picked up Chopper, put away the things in the tree hole and jumped out. After landing, Vic put Chopper down. He needed Chopper to be independent as soon as possible, and he had to complete the rest of the journey by himself.
After being put down by Vic, Chopper felt the coldness coming from the soles of his feet and came back to his senses. He looked at Vic, but saw that Vic's eyes were staring at one place with a smile on his face.
Following Vic's gaze, Chopper suddenly felt embarrassed and his face turned red, because what Vic was looking at was the black particles under the tree, which were his poop.
He quickly ran to the tree, got on all fours, and used his calves to dig into the snow to cover those things. Vic didn't mean to make fun of Chopper, he just wanted to teach him a lesson. Leaving excrement in the snow might expose his position.
When Chopper covered his poop and stood next to Vic with his head down, Vic touched Chopper's little head and walked forward.
Chopper's shyness was finally reduced a lot. He followed Vic closely and asked questions from time to time. While chatting, Vic also released his observation Haki to sense where it would be more suitable for Chopper to build a residence.
Vic brought Chopper to a high cliff near the sea. Ships could not land here, and it was on the edge of the island, so the safety factor was still very high.
Vic chose a big tree with a diameter of nearly ten meters. There are quite a few of these trees on the island. Vic plans to build a tree house for Chopper like Kuleha did, which will provide natural protection. Vic has done his best for Chopper.
"Blue Nose! Take this tree, I'll turn it into a house."
Vic and Chopper said something and then drew their swords and started fighting. Chopper had never seen what a house looked like, so naturally he did whatever Vic said.
Vic left a wooden wall of about half a meter for the tree, making it a two-story structure. People lived on the second floor, and a window was opened above a huge branch. The window could not be seen from under the tree.
Vic used the stones dug out from the secret passage at Magnetic Drum Peak to make a lot of furniture for Chopper. He even took out the tables and chairs from that space. After a good arrangement, the place still had a sense of life.
Daily necessities are also taken out from the dimensional space. As long as Chopper can get his own food, he can live a good life.
"Alright! Blue Nose, just live here well from now on!"
Vic made a hidden door with the wood left over from the initial cut and said with satisfaction that Vic had built a wooden house before, but this was the first time he built a house using the tree itself.
"I?"
Chopper bent his little hoof and pointed at his face and asked dully. He had always thought that he was going to live with Vic.
I was so excited on the road just now, and had already imagined a wonderful life in the future. Now you tell me that I have to live alone?
Thinking of that lonely scene, Chopper couldn't hold back his tears, and they flowed out like crazy.
"Of course! I have important things to do, so I can't stay here! You need to walk the road ahead alone until you meet someone you recognize!"
Vic really doesn't want to change Chopper's experience. Without the Human-Human Fruit, Chopper is just an ordinary blue-nosed reindeer!
Without Siruluk, Chopper wouldn't have aspired to become a panacea!
Without Kuleha Chopper, he wouldn't be able to learn medicine and make Rumble Balls!
All of this created the later Chopper. Vic was afraid that the Chopper he took away would become Joe Beard.
"No, I don't want you to leave. Vic, you are the one I recognize. I don't want you to leave me! I don't want to be alone! Whatever happens to you, take me with you!"
Chopper cried and looked at Vic hopefully. If it were Rebecca and Wendy, they probably wouldn't be able to resist Chopper's pleading. The young Chopper was so adorable.
"No, it will be very dangerous to follow me. You are too young now and need a safe environment to grow and learn. I believe you can take care of yourself!"
Chopper must stay on Magnetic Drum Island. Vic believes that nothing will happen to Chopper, and the current situation will only be better than in the original book.
