Chapter 549: Wait Here
Chapter 549: Wait Here
"Reindeer?"
Fen Ni stared at Chopper for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Tony Tony Chopper? One of Luffy's crew?"
"That's right! I'm Chopper!" He took a deep breath, bravely stepping forward.
"A pet." Fen Ni added bluntly.
"No, a crewmate!!!"
Chopper shouted furiously, "I'm a crewmate! I’ve got my own brave combat skills too!"
"But..."
Fen Ni looked puzzled, "Your bounty’s only fifty Beri, right? That’s way too low! Not even enough to cover bullet costs! What else could you be besides a pet?"
"Grrr!"
Chopper’s hooves trembled as he stomped, turning away angrily, "I won’t argue with you! I’m a crewmate, and that’s final!"
"You can’t leave."
Fen Ni blocked his path, her expression serious. "Even if you’re just a pet, you’re a pirate, right? Entering this base means Admiral Kuro—no, Vice Admiral Golden Lion will get angry. I have to tie you up and hand you over to Vice Admiral Golden Lion, or he’ll scold me!"
"As if I’d let you catch me!"
Chopper shouted, "I’ve got to reunite with Luffy and set sail again! I won’t get caught here!"
"Ah, this is so troublesome."
Fen Ni frowned, "I’m not a combat type, so I can’t really do anything..."
"Not a combat type?"
Chopper blinked, then suddenly transformed into his hulking Human Form, thick arms bulging with blue veins, shouting adorably, "Then get out of my way now!"
The sudden shift startled Fen Ni backward a step, which only made Chopper smirk in satisfaction.
This Navy officer? He’d break through her in an instant.
Just as he thought this, the woman suddenly pulled out a vial and smashed it at his feet.
"Numbness!"
Crack!
The vial shattered, liquid spreading across the floor, releasing a foul odor around Chopper.
"Bad!"
Before Chopper could react, Fen Ni suddenly realized something, "Wait, this bottle was for experiments—it’s underdosed! Most people wouldn’t even notice it!"
As she spoke, she reached for another vial.
"What smell?"
Chopper’s blue nose twitched. Suddenly, his body shrank, then collapsed straight to the ground.
"No! I can’t move!"
"Eh?"
Fen Ni tilted her head, staring at Chopper for a moment before exclaiming, "Oh! It must be the animal’s sensitive sense of smell!"
"What did you do to me?!" Chopper yelled.
"Ah, sorry! That was a paralyzing serum. You just looked so scary in that form—I couldn’t help it." Fen Ni apologized.
"Scared? Did I scare you? Sorry, I didn’t mean to—" Chopper blurted out instinctively, then suddenly realized, "Wait! You’re Navy!"
"Ah right! I’m Navy, and you’re a pirate! Almost forgot."
Fen Ni pulled out a flintlock pistol from her waist, aiming at Chopper and pulling the trigger, "Sorry, raccoon dog, but if you break in here, Vice Admiral Golden Lion will get angry. I’ll just bury you—then he’ll never know."
Bang!
Bullets erupted from the gun, smoke puffing out as they struck Chopper’s body.
Chopper shut his eyes in fear.
Clang!
The bullets ricocheted off his fur with a sharp sound, scattering sparks.
"Eh?"
Chopper and Fen Ni both gasped in unison.
"I’m okay?" Chopper muttered, stunned.
"You’re okay?"
Fen Ni blinked, then suddenly realized, "Ah! Navy paralyzing serum also hardens the body! My mistake!"
"What kind of weird serum is that?!" Chopper shouted.
He suddenly noticed his body could move slightly. Struggling, he reached into his bag, pulled out a vial, and sniffed it under his nose.
Instantly, he leapt upward, springing toward Fen Ni at lightning speed.
"Wrist Power Enhancement!"
His arm swelled massively, blue veins bulging, as his hoof aimed straight for Fen Ni’s trembling chest.
Animals have no ill intentions.
He just wanted to defeat this Navy officer.
"Eh? You’re free already?"
Fen Ni instinctively stepped back. As the hoof neared her chest, she suddenly extended a hand, pressing it against his arm. Chopper felt an inexplicable force pulling his strike aside, sliding harmlessly past Fen Ni’s torso.
"Jujutsu!"
Her hand slammed onto Chopper’s chest, gripping his coat, while her other hand seized his wrists, hurling him backward with a powerful throw.
Boom!!
Chopper crashed heavily to the ground, cracking the floor beneath him.
"Good thing I learned some techniques from Elder Sister Ju Geng", Fen Ni shook her hand, sighing in relief, "or I’d have been attacked."
"Ow ow..."
Chopper rose slowly, his back burning with pain.
This woman looked frail, but why was her strength so immense?
"Soft Force Reinforcement!"
Chopper’s body swelled again, two hooves striking a pose, "Wacha! I won’t hold back anymore!"
"Eh? Such a strange transformation. By the way, you broke free from my serum. Are you a doctor?" Fen Ni asked.
"That’s right! I’m Doctor Chopper! Even if you say that, I won’t be happy, you bastard Navy!"
Chopper grinned, wiggling happily.
"I see! Then it’s a doctor’s battle!"
Fen Ni nodded firmly. She pulled a medicine pill from her waist pouch and popped it into her mouth.
"I won’t lose! Watch me use my Navy-developed Medicine Pill series—Strength Pill!"
Crunch!
The pill crumbled between her teeth.
Thud!
Instantly, the floor beneath Fen Ni’s foot cracked, releasing a wisp of residual energy.
"Shave!"
Chopper’s eyes narrowed as a wisp-like afterimage appeared before him. Instinctively, he swung a hoof, but suddenly, a slender hand clamped onto his enlarged face, slamming him forcefully into the ground.
Boom!!!
Chopper’s body slammed down again, creating another crater in the floor, sending up smoke and dust.
Yet suddenly, she sensed something, flipping backward just as smoke and dust erupted, a hoof kicking from below.
"Ow! That hurt!"
From the smoke, Chopper’s kick missed. He leapt upward, both hooves pushing off the ground, his antlers growing massive as he charged forward.
"Antler Power Enhancement!"
His speed was no slow, barreling straight toward the retreating Fen Ni.
Fen Ni couldn’t react in time, her hands rising to grip his antlers.
Boom!
A shockwave erupted from their clash, scattering nearby debris.
They froze in a stalemate.
Chopper strained forward with his antlers, while Fen Ni’s feet dug into the ground, pushing fiercely, refusing to let Chopper advance an inch.
The two entered a tense struggle.
Yet during the clash, Fen Ni’s expression grew increasingly strained.
"Gurgle—"
Her stomach let out a loud growl.
"How? I improved this medicine pill, so why do I feel hungry again?"
She pushed forward, forcing Chopper’s antlers back inch by inch.
"But my strength seems to have increased even more."
Suddenly releasing Chopper’s antlers, she waved as he stared in confusion, "Wait a moment, I need to record this."
Pulling out a notebook and pen, she wrote while muttering, "This medicine pill, even after improvement, still causes hunger, but the hungrier I get, the stronger I become... Hmm."
Absently biting her pen, she mused, "Maybe adding some Emetic Grass could ease these symptoms?"
"You... Emetic Grass?" Chopper blinked, "Isn’t that an emetic?"
"Eh? Isn’t it for healing the stomach? I thought so."
"After inducing vomiting, it heals the stomach! It’s for patients with stomach issues!"
"Is that so?" Fen Ni tilted her head.
"Exactly! You said the hungrier you get, the stronger you become. If it’s that medicine pill, shouldn’t you add Satiety Grass instead? It creates a feeling of fullness." Chopper explained.
"Ah! Right! Satiety Grass! You know so much, Doctor Chopper!"
"I won’t accept praise from a Navy officer, you bastard!" Chopper giggled, wiggling happily.
"Wait here—"
Fen Ni thoughtfully stepped into a hole in the wall, "I’ll experiment a bit. After I’m done, we’ll continue our duel."
"Eh? Can I watch?" Chopper asked curiously.
"No way! This is a Navy Secret Formula! You can’t see!" Fen Ni’s voice echoed from the hole.
"Okay..."
Chopper obediently stood in the hallway, his round eyes staring at the floor, waiting patiently.
"Chopper?"
Suddenly, a voice called from ahead.
"Eh! Usopp! Finally found someone!" Chopper exclaimed, delighted.
"Same here! I finally found someone! We all got separated. What were you doing?"
Usopp approached, staring at the mess on the floor, "What happened? Was there a fight?"
"Yeah! That Navy woman said to wait here while she went inside to improve her medicine pill!"
Chopper pointed into the hole.
"Eh? What?" Usopp tilted his head, utterly confused.
...
"Ah~~ Southern Island, so warm, Pineapple delicious, head hot, aho hoppa~"
In another corridor of the base, Luffy hummed a meaningless tune as he wandered.
Sighing, he muttered, "Where did everyone go?"
Looking left and right, he suddenly spotted a large door down the corridor, "Is this the one? Doesn’t seem like any other doors. Well, let’s check it out."
Luffy rolled his shoulders, preparing to punch the door open.
"Luffy!!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind roared from behind him.
Luffy bent his body, leaning backward just in time as a Wolf Claw slashed overhead.
Luffy kicked upward, his foot striking the Wolf Claw’s owner with a powerful blow.
Bang!
The figure retreated, spinning twice in the air before landing, glaring at Luffy with a malevolent grin, "Nice plan! You found the Vessel Detainment Facility! Too bad you won’t escape!"
"Eh?"
Luffy stared, puzzled, "What’s your name again? Gabura?"
"I’m Klah!"
