【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

"Horse Force Enhancement!" Chopper transformed into a deer and easily dodged the arrows shot at him. He used the horns on his head to hit Jess Marimon who was about to shoot an arrow, knocking him away. Then he changed his body shape again and turned into a human-beast form, "Gravity Enhancement!"

"After all this time, you are actually an animal type like Dalton. I already know the three stages of your animal type transformation very well!" Jess Malimon said, raising a hammer in each of his four hands. "Amazing Malimon Four Hammers!"

"Jump boost!" Chopper transformed into his other form that was both a deer and a human, and jumped into the sky to avoid Jace Marimon's attack.

"What a strong jumping ability." Sanji said in surprise.

"Fur enhancement!" A large amount of fur appeared all over Chopper's body, covering him, turning him into a ball of fur. All attacks from Jess Marlimon had no harm to him.

"How is this possible? The animal-type transformation only has three stages at most. Who on earth are you..." Jace Marlimon shouted in disbelief.

"Blue Wave Ball is a drug that can disrupt the wavelength of the devil fruit's transformation. After five years of research, I have discovered four more transformation points!" Chopper said as he changed his form again. "Strengthen your wrist strength!"

"You have seven transformations?!" Jace Marlimon shouted in disbelief. "Damn it, it doesn't matter if you have more transformations, I will kill you anyway!"

"Wow! Seven transformations!" Luffy watched Chopper's ever-changing forms excitedly, and finally saw Chopper make a firing gesture, and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Light... light!! That's definitely going to fire a light!"

"Idiot, that's impossible!" Kuleha said speechlessly.

"Don't mind him." Qi chuckled. He had already dealt with Valpo and he was happy to see Luffy excited again.

"Found it, chin!" Chopper put his hand down and said confidently, "I found your weakness."

When Jess Marlimon heard this, his eyes widened and he said nervously, "Even if you know, you still can't beat me!"

"Sakura" Chopper's figure disappeared in an instant, and the next second he appeared next to Jace Marlimon and punched him in the chin with his wrist-strengthened hand "Kekhoo!"

"Three minutes are up." Chopper's body changed back to his basic form, and Jess Marlimon behind him had fallen completely.

"Great! Reindeer!!" Luffy shouted happily.

……

"I'll go check out the situation. You can come back later." Usopp said firmly. Although his legs were shaking, he stopped immediately when he saw the huge crack outside the castle. He turned his head decisively and looked at Nami and Vivi. "You can come directly. I will cover you from behind!"

"If you're scared, just follow behind." Zoro complained as he walked around Usopp and left the cable car.

Luffy, who had just warned Walpo and his men not to come again and then threw them out, turned around and saw Usopp and Zoro coming down the cable car. He immediately stretched out his hands excitedly and flew towards them, "Zoro, Usopp!"

Zoro noticed Luffy flying by, so he dodged Luffy's rocket in advance, but Usopp was not so lucky and was successfully knocked down by Luffy.

"Are you an idiot?" Zoro said helplessly, but seeing his excited look, he also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had fully recovered.

"Luffy!!" Nami and Vivi ran towards Luffy with bright smiles on their faces.

"I thought you wouldn't climb up?" General Usopp asked with a smile.

"Ms. Nami! Miss Vivi!" Sanji twisted his body and walked towards Nami and Vivi.

Usopp was about to brag to them about the dangers they encountered while climbing the mountain, but Nami interrupted him.

"We came up by cable car." Nami said with a smile after pushing Sanji away.

"Luffy, are you okay?" Usopp asked Luffy, who still looked a little pale but full of energy.

"I'm completely fine!" Luffy grinned, then picked up Chopper who was hiding behind him, "This is our new partner, Chopper!"

"Reindeer?!" Usopp looked at the creature Luffy was holding in confusion.

"How cute!" Nami said with a smile when she saw the reindeer in Luffy's hand, "It looks like a doll."

"Everyone, carry the injured into the room!" Kuleha shouted to the villagers, "I mean everyone." After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Luffy and the others who were talking on the other side, "You guys go back to your room and lie down!"

"I don't want to! It's boring there!" Luffy bravely refused.

"What did you say!? Among my patients, only two kinds of people can leave the ward, those who have recovered and those who have died!" Kuleha shouted angrily.

"Okay, we'll go back to the ward!" Qi said with a soothing smile. They wouldn't stay here for too long, after all, they had to rush to Alabasta as soon as possible.

"And your medical expenses are all the treasures on your ship, and it will take two days for you all to leave!" Kuleha said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.

"What!!" Nami screamed "That's a lot of money!"

Kuleha ignored Nami's screams and turned into the castle, heading towards Dalton's ward.

Nami followed Kuleha unwillingly. She wanted to find a way to make this witch doctor waive their medical expenses. They didn't have much treasure on the ship to begin with, and they would be even poorer if it was taken away.

"Dalton, do you know where the key to the castle's armory is?" Kuleha asked Dalton lying on the hospital bed.

"The key has always been with Valpo." Dalton replied, leaning back on the hospital bed.

"That bastard has been thrown out by that brat." Kuleha was a little disappointed.

Nami listened to their conversation and suddenly thought of a way to waive the medical expenses. She couldn't help but said, "How about I help you open the lock? You waive our medical expenses and let them leave."

"Like you can open it," Kuleha challenged.

"Lead the way! Doctor Kuleha." Nami said firmly.

Kuleha quickly brought Nami to the armory, and Nami opened the lock in 10 seconds.

"You're quite capable," Kuleha praised, and then said, "I can waive your medical expenses, but those guys still have to rest here for two days before they can leave, especially the kid in the straw hat."

"We still have important things to do and don't have time to stay here for two days." Nami bit her lip and said, and she heard from Sanji that their new member Chopper is a doctor, and Luffy will not get sick again.

"This is my duty as a doctor, but listen carefully, little girl, I have something to do later and will not be able to see you. I have checked several of your friends and they are fine for the time being, but don't think about slipping away." Kuleha pointed at Nami and then entered the armory and locked Nami outside.
