Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

After Sanji convinced the villagers with reason, they laid down their weapons. The other party was so strong that they would not want to deceive a group of people like them, but they still did not let down their guard.

At this time Nami also woke up, and when she came out she was stunned on the spot.

Then he walked up to Yi Chen and asked him what was going on and what he was doing.

Hearing this, Yi Chen was about to answer, but Sanji slid over and explained that he needed to replenish supplies.

After listening, Nami sighed slightly and then followed Yi Chen and the other villagers into the village.

As for Zoro and Big Duck, they stayed on the Merry to guard the ship.

On the deck, Zoro took off his down jacket, revealing his tight abdominal muscles.

"Phew, I'm getting a little bored doing single muscle training all the time."

"It's a bit boring to watch the boats here... OK... It's decided... Let's start winter swimming training."

After saying that, Zoro walked to the side of the ship, looked at the cold sea water below, took a deep breath, and then jumped down suddenly.

puff-

After Zoro jumped into the water, he started swimming, and he swam very fast, not affected by the freezing temperature at all.

……

On the other side, Yi Chen and his group had followed the leading villager to their village.

"Okay, let's stop here. Except for the guy on guard duty, everyone else should go home first." The sturdy man said to the other villagers.

"But...are you okay if you go alone? They are so strong, Mr. Dalton." One of the villagers said worriedly.

Hearing this, the man named Dalton smiled and said, "It's okay. If something really goes wrong, I will try my best to stop them."

"Plus, with the intuition I have developed over the years, they will not do anything to harm the village. Please trust me."

Seeing that Dalton insisted, everyone had no choice but to leave. After all, even if they were there, it seemed to be of no use. They could only pray that Luffy and his crew were really good people.

But before leaving, everyone told Dalton to be careful and to call them if anything happened, and then they left.

After waving goodbye to everyone, Dalton turned and walked towards Yi Chen and his group who were waiting not far away, "Come to my house first."

After saying that, Dalton led everyone towards his home. Along the way, the residents passing by would greet Dalton, but no one asked Luffy and his group where they came from or who they were.

Looking at Dalton who was so trusted by the residents, Vivi couldn't help but feel emotional. If she was trusted by the people of Alabasta like he was trusted by the villagers, there might not be a rebellion in the country.

Soon, several people followed Dalton into the house.

Dalton also lit a fire after entering the house to heat the house.

Dalton then began to introduce himself, "My name is Dalton, I'm a resident of this island and the captain of the guard."

——"My name is Luffy. I'm the captain of this ship."

——"My name is Usopp, and I am the bravest sea warrior on this ship."

"Then I'd like to ask you a question, Captain. Are you really just here to purchase supplies?"

After learning who the captain was, Dalton asked straight to the point.

"We are just here to do some shopping. Of course, if there is something to explore on the island, that would be great."

Although Luffy didn't understand why the other party asked again, he still answered Dalton.

"We want to find a ship's doctor."

Luffy had just finished speaking when Yi Chen, who had been teasing Abis, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Luffy and his companions were stunned for a moment. With Yi Chen already here, is it necessary to hire another ship doctor?

"Ship doctor? Aren't you that?" Luffy tilted his head, looked at Yi Chen in confusion and asked.

"Yeah, there's no need to find another ship doctor." Sanji also said.

Hearing this, Yi Chen gently shook his head and said, "No, no, no, ship doctor is just my side job, so we have to find someone whose main job is ship doctor."

"Besides, what if one day we are no longer in the same place because we have to act separately and someone gets hurt?"

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Yi Chen also answered using the "just in case" method.

After hearing this, everyone understood that this was indeed the case. However, it felt strange, but they still couldn't explain it.

Dalton felt relieved when he knew that the other party came to find the ship's doctor. As long as they didn't come to massacre or rob the village, it would be fine. Although the only doctor on the island might be taken away, there was nothing that could be done about it.

It's better than losing the village. After thinking about it, Dalton looked at everyone and said, "You can probably see the mountains in the distance from the window here."

"Indeed, those mountains are ridiculously high, but what does that have to do with doctors?" Sanji asked back in confusion.

“The names of those mountains are Drum Peaks, and in the castle on the top of the highest mountain in the middle lives a doctor called the Witch, the only doctor on the island.

"So shall we set off to find that doctor now? Or should we purchase supplies first?" Sanji asked Luffy and Yi Chen while looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Then Sanji will stay here to purchase supplies and take care of Nami, Vivi and the others. Luffy and I will go up the mountain to find a doctor. How do you think?"

As he was speaking, Yi Chen looked at Luffy and the other two.

——"No problem!" x2

Just as Luffy and Yi Chen were about to go out, Abis suddenly pulled the corner of Yi Chen's clothes and said, "I have a question."

Hearing this, Yi Chen looked down and saw Abisi, who was holding the corner of Yi Chen's clothes, pouting her little mouth and looking at him with tears in her eyes, "I want to go too."

Yi Chen looked at Abisi's lively big eyes and knew that if he didn't take her with him, she would definitely drop the little pearl without hesitation.

Abisi had already asked for it, so how could he refuse? So he agreed. Yi Chen smiled and stroked Abisi's little head: "Then come together."

Just as the three were about to go, Dalton reminded them: "There will be rabbits that attack people on the snowy mountain road, please be careful."

"That witch with superb medical skills loves to eat prunes. She's a 140-year-old woman. Also, don't ever call her an old woman."

Hearing this, the three of them nodded and then walked up the mountain.

Seeing the three people leave, Dalton volunteered to be Sanji and his group's tour guide and take them to buy supplies. If there was nothing in this village, they would go to another one.

On the coast, Shura was flying around, looking for Zoro's trace.

"Oh no, the master has gone somewhere again!" QAQ
