To the end of the sea [One Piece]

"Humph." Eina had just woken up in the morning and saw Kureha sitting on the edge of her bed looking at her with an unhappy expression.

"Good morning...Dr. Kureha." Eina sat up and greeted her.

"Stop doing this, you brat." The woman tsked and stood up, "Chopa came to me early in the morning and told me that you have become his patient, please let me let you stay here for two more days. Amnesia is Right? What a good reason."

Eina smiled: "I didn't lie to Chopper. I have indeed lost my memory."

Kuleha snorted coldly from her nostrils: "Anyway, since Chopper has said so, you must at least do some work with me from today on. I don't support anyone except patients. And!"

She threw her whole face in front of Eina and said fiercely: "When you leave, I will definitely settle the score with you little brat! You have to be aware of the medical expenses and accommodation expenses!"

A drop of cold sweat ran down Eina's head: "Hey...I know."

Kuleha walked out of the room without looking back: "Get dressed after breakfast and come with me! We are going down the mountain for a medical visit today!"

--------------

Hearing that Eina was also going to visit the doctor together, Chopper explained to her the work he and Dr. Kureha did.

"Wait, you mean... you are the only two doctors in this country?" Eina exclaimed, "How do people at the foot of the mountain treat doctors?"

Chopper sighed: "This is because of the tyranny of the previous king. He killed all the doctors and used the remaining doctors for his own use. If the citizens were sick and wanted to see a doctor, they could only Go and beg him for mercy. This is how he maintains his rule."

"That's why you hid in this mountain..." Eina frowned, "What about now? Where is that bastard king?"

"He was defeated by a group of pirates before and abandoned the country and went to sea to become a pirate." Chopper said, "That's why we can now occasionally go down the mountain to visit the doctor and help the villagers. I heard that everyone is preparing for an election recently. , elect a new king to take power.”

"Tsk, that's really unlucky." Eina narrowed her eyes, "I didn't have a chance to beat that bastard."

"Isn't this the best thing to say?" Chopper was frightened by Ena's violent words and quickly waved his hand, "Ena, just follow Dr. Kureha. If she needs anything, she will find it. You want it. I can only use the form of a reindeer at the foot of the mountain, and I can't speak. It just so happens that it's easier for you to help her."

"Reindeer form?" Eina asked, "Do you have other forms?"

Chopper nodded, and in a blink of an eye he changed from a petite bipedal form to something closer to the size of a real reindeer, standing on the ground with four hooves.

"That's amazing!" Eina couldn't hold back and stretched out her hand to touch the hair on his back, "Is this how you carried me back?"

"Well..." Chopper felt a little comfortable under her touch and couldn't help but blush, "Even if you praise me, I won't be happy..."

"But you can't speak in front of others." Eina's hand slid down his back to his head, gently touching the fur under the brim of his hat. She didn't ask why. After all, if you think about it, you would know that a talking reindeer or a reindeer that could walk on two legs would be too abnormal in the eyes of most people.

"Thank you." She finally said these two words softly.

Chopper froze for a long time, buried his head deeply in his chest and whispered: "It's okay."

"Speaking of which, Ena, you are really different from others." Chopper raised his head, "Everyone would usually say that I am a tanuki when they see my appearance...but you have never called me that."

"Because of the horns." Eina said matter-of-factly, "With such an obviously powerful pair of horns, no matter how good the appearance is, at least guess the reindeer first, right?"

[You are a reindeer...with a pair of powerful horns, so let's call you Chopper! 】

Chopper's eyes were a little moist. He remembered the man who gave him this name and said similar words to Ena at that time. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, so he could only rub his head against Eina's belly.

"Hey, kids." Kureha poked her head in, "It's time to go!"

Eina and Chopper looked at each other, then turned to look at Kureha: "Okay, let's go!"

----------------

"It's [Witch] Kureha!"

"Finally down again...but who is that next to her?"

"I've never seen it at all... What's going on? I haven't heard of anyone logging in recently."

When the villagers saw the unfamiliar Ena, they started talking in low voices. Eina looked around and remembered with a headache that she fell from the sky and had no record of going to the island normally.

"Chopper, are there very few visitors to this island?" Eina asked Chopper quietly, but the reindeer just glanced at her and said nothing.

Tsk, I forgot about Chopper not talking at the foot of the mountain.

Ena had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Kureha forward. With wary eyes from all directions, they met a group of people.

"Doctor Kuleha." The tall man stopped them politely, "Can I ask you, is this your new assistant?"

"It's Dalton." Kureha grinned, "What's wrong, do I have to report to you as my new assistant?"

"No, it's not." The man was still very calm, "It's just that we haven't seen this lady before, and we patrol the ports on the island, so we want to know where she comes from?"

"She is my patient." Kuleha shrugged. "Because she owes me medical fees, she has to work for me to pay for the money. I will ensure that she will not pose any threat to the island, so you don't have to worry about her. "

"But..." Dalton frowned and wanted to say something, but Kuleha interrupted forcefully: "Hey, I remember that I don't need anyone to take care of what I do, right?"

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. Dalton and Kuleha looked at each other for a moment, then took the lead in Panasonic's momentum: "Don't get me wrong, Doctor Kuleha. We just..."

"You just have to do your job." Kuleha started to walk forward, "And I'm going to see a doctor."

Dalton secretly stretched out a hand to signal the people behind him not to move. They watched Kuleha and his party slowly move forward.

"Why is this...this woman?"

"As expected of a [Witch]...what she does is really infuriating."

Eina listened to the whispers of the villagers, frowned and walked to Kureha's side: "Hey, why don't I feel how high your status as the only doctor is in their hearts?"

Kuleha snorted: "It's just a matter of seeing a doctor and being treated. Do you still expect them to regard me as some kind of saint?"

Eina pursed her lips and stopped talking.

--------------

"Give me the bandage." Kuleha stretched out her hand, and Eina handed the bandage to her. Chopper took a bottle of potion in his mouth and placed it next to Ena. Eina unscrewed the bottle and kept it aside.

After treating the injured patient, Kuleha argued with the man about the medical expenses. Eina didn't pay attention to what they said, and walked out of the house alone.

The snow-covered village had a calming atmosphere. In the distance, Ena saw the man who had stopped them chatting gently with several housewives, asking them about their recent life problems.

If they want to elect a new king, this one named Dalton seems to be quite suitable. Eina was thinking happily, and her attention was suddenly attracted by the two people on the side.

"So...that man is really amazing..."

"The flames came out of my fingers - just out of thin air! Incredible, like a match..."

"It's a devil fruit, right?"

"Yeah, I guess you said something... I'm looking for a pirate wearing a straw hat."

"Excuse me for a moment!" Eina rushed over and asked anxiously, "What does the man you are talking about look like? Did he say his name?"

The two people were startled: "Hey, that man... who are you?"

Eina was stunned for a moment: "I..." She considered her words: "I may know the pirate with a straw hat you are talking about, and I am also looking for a man who can use the Fire Devil Fruit. Is the man you are talking about called? Ace?"

If the two people were a little suspicious of her at first, she was the first to say Ace's name and they believed her: "Yes, it's Ace."

"Great!" Eina said, "Where is he now?"

"That man has left here." One of the men said, "He asked us to tell him if we see the pirate wearing a straw hat, saying that Ace will wait for him in Alabasta for ten days."

Eina's pupils narrowed slightly.

Alabasta, isn't that where Nami said they were going.

And...Ace and Luffy...?

Did it turn out that these two people knew each other?

"Thank you..." She thanked the two of them, "It's been a big help."

--------------

Qiao pulled Kureha and Ena on the sleigh ride back to the snow mountain. Ena asked her: "Doctor Kureha, do you know Alabasta?"

Kureha raised her eyebrows: "Alabasta? Of course I know. A big country in the desert, why do you ask this?"

"That's where my companions are going next." Eina said, "Can you please tell me a little bit about the situation there?"

"It's useless to ask me." Kuleha shrugged, "I don't know much about it. I only know that most of it is desert. You must wear sun protection if you go there."

She laughed out loud: "If you want to keep your skin firm, you must not lose too much water."

"I understand..." Ena held her forehead, "Thank you."

"Today's weather is particularly bad." Chopper turned around and shouted loudly in the wind, "You must sit tight, it will be bad if you encounter an avalanche!"

The reindeer's powerful hooves ran on the somewhat steep mountain road, and the wind and snow blew violently, making the road ahead completely white. Eina raised a hand to cover her forehead, trying hard to see clearly in the blurry front, but she could only see Chopper's figure.

Although Cigu Island is covered with snow all year round, such a heavy snowstorm is still rare. Kuleha also lowered her head and grabbed the lapel of her clothes.

Suddenly the reindeer let out a loud cry. "It's Labang! Hurry up!"

Eina could only see a few animals with long ears swaying past from the graceful snow shadows. Her vigilance was raised to the extreme, but the accident still happened.

The sled made a dangerous sound and tilted toward the side carrying Kureha. Eina didn't even think about it at that moment. Her body reacted first. She reached out and grabbed Kuleha and pulled her in her direction.

With a bump, Eina was thrown directly into the air outside the mountain.

"Kid!" Kureha's voice sounded panicked for the first time. She stretched out her hand to reach Ena, but the sight that appeared in the air shocked both her and Chopper who turned around.

This time the space tear was no longer a black hole, but the scene at the other end of the passage vaguely appeared. Ena's body that was originally falling downwards was strongly attracted and kept moving backwards, and finally disappeared into the air together with the round hole.

"Ena!!!" Chopper was so anxious that he wanted to turn around, but this was impossible on the mountainside. Kuleha gave him instructions with a solemn face: "Go up the mountain first! Wait until the blizzard has passed!"

Chopper gritted his teeth, spread his hooves and ran quickly.

------------------

Returning to Kureha's castle, Chopper changed back to his bipedal form and shouted anxiously: "What should I do? This is what Ena said before about losing control of the fruit's ability! Will she be in any danger?"

Kuleha frowned and thought for a while: "I remember she said that her companions would come here to pick her up?"

"Yes! Her luggage is still in the room!"

"For now, let's wait for her companions to come here to find her," Kureha said, "and then hand over her things to them."

"But how are we going to tell them where Eina went!"

"I think I roughly know where she went." Kuleha sighed, "I saw a desert at the other end of the space. Plus the child asked me about Alabasta again today..."

If you guessed it correctly, the other end of the space is the Kingdom of Sand.
