[One Piece] Courage to Dream

Chapter [-] The wind and snow are still there, but the Sri Lankan people are no longer

backing away...

One step, another step.

Chopper finally left the wooden house with Jodi.It can only be lucky to think, maybe... Shiruluke really just moved out of here?

The blizzard roared maniacally, covering the sky and sweeping the mountains, as if to drown everything.

The dead trees swayed greatly in the gust of wind, and the road leading to the village was still the same, a narrow one, which was easy to miss if you didn't look carefully.

Due to the harsh natural environment and the small population on the island, Winter Island may be the one that has changed the least in ten years among the fast-growing Four Seasons Islands.

The road to the village was not too long, mainly because it was difficult to walk, coupled with the increasingly dense snow, when they arrived at the destination, the sky was already dark.

"Excuse me..." Jyoti grabbed one of the villagers without hesitation, "Do you know where Hiluluk, who used to live in the back mountain, went?"

"Hiruluk?" Under Jyoti's questioning, the villager was thinking hard for a while, and when everyone almost gave up on him, the light bulb above the villager's head lit up, "Ah~ You are talking about that doctor!"

"Yes, you know?" Jyoti responded quickly.

"Oh, let me think about it..." Then the villager racked his brains for a while before the light bulb was turned on, and he managed to think about it, "I remember he had some terminal illness back then, and it couldn't be cured. I haven't seen him since then...well, it's been seven or eight years, maybe he died..."

"The doctor won't die! You are talking nonsense! Nonsense!!" A certain word hit Chopper's heart fiercely. It suddenly opened its eyes wide and shouted at the villager, interrupting the villager's words. his guess.

Unexpectedly, a little thing exploded so violently, and the villagers thought that Chopper was a pet brought by this group of people, and the sudden utterance scared him enough.

Take a closer look...

"Monster!!"

With a stern scream, he ran for the road and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chopper didn't correct the villagers that it wasn't a monster. The whole person seemed to be petrified, standing there blankly, repeating the name of Hiruluke in his mouth.

Everyone hurriedly arrested other villagers and continued to extract confessions.

However, the answers I got were all exactly the same as before.All of them point to the same answer.

Jyoti felt as if the sky had collapsed, and it was cold from head to toe. If Xiuya hadn't helped her in time, Jyoti would probably have been kneeling in the snowy field by now.

Even the last glimmer of hope was gone.

It was as if a sharp knife had been stabbed into his heart, and blood flowed out.

It turned out that so many years ago, Hiluluk had already left them...

The yellowed memories could not be replayed over and over again in front of my eyes, my hands and feet were numb, and even my blood was about to freeze.

It was he who told them the vastness and magic of this sea, and he also told them that the skull pirate flag symbolizes the belief that never gives up.

The man who had brought them infinite warmth and hope might still appear in their dreams, but they could no longer bring him that surprise. They returned to him and told him personally that Chopper and Jyoti grew up together. Yes, back.

The tears that I had endured for a long time finally burst out of the embankment and flowed down uncontrollably.

In the heavy snow, there will no longer be the figure of the man who braved the wind to heal the patient desperately, and there will be no more pictures of them being chased by the patient's family members along with him.

However, the wind and snow will still be there, dancing all over the sky on the top of the winter island.

Year by year.

"Doctor...doctor...doctor!!"

Chopper's cries were scattered in the wind, fragmented.
