Third Person POV
Drum Island, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
In the midst of a mountain, with snow falling all around him, Luffy embarked on his training to understand and develop Haki. Clad in clothes ill-suited for the weather to face the intense cold, he did not let the hostile nature of the environment interfere with his determination.
Sitting in a meditative position, Luffy closed his eyes and began to focus his mind. He sought to tune into the energy currents within himself, exploring the fundamental principles of Haki. As snow accumulated on his shoulders, he remained steadfast in his quest for this power.
With each controlled breath, Luffy attempted to detect the subtle presence of Haki. His hands rested on his knees, and his mind worked tirelessly to unravel the secrets of this ability. It was not an easy process; it was a journey of self-discovery and patience, even multiplied by eight times.
Snow fell silently around him, providing a visual trail of his training time. Small signs of progress began to manifest. Perhaps they were fleeting glimpses of intuition, a passing sensation of connection to something greater. His Haki was far from fully developed, but he was beginning to grasp the essence.
From time to time, Luffy opened his eyes, observing the frozen landscape around him. He could feel the presence of tiny ice particles as they fell, a metaphor for the subtlety of the Haki he sought to master.
"Luffy!" A voice cut through the silence of the snowstorm, and two shadows leaped in his direction. Reiju gracefully landed next to Lami.
"Oh? You're here! I was wondering if you decided to settle in the city..." Luffy smiled at his companions.
"Of course not. Wouldn't miss the chance to prove that I'm better than this woman here." Lami declared confidently.
"Who said you won? It was me, obviously." Reiju commented, casting a challenging glance.
"Didn't you see that I was ahead of you? I knew you had some mental problems, but I didn't know you also had vision difficulties. Maybe I can help you; after all, I am a doctor." Lami crossed her arms, displaying an expression of superiority.
"Hm?! Do you want to die, gothic woman?" Reiju taunted, throwing a challenging look at Lami.
"Bring it on, cheeky cook!" Lami responded promptly, showing a determined expression.
"Stop, both of you!" Luffy emerged between them, delivering a precise punch to each of their heads, causing the fight to cease instantly.
"Captain!" they protested, complaining about the pain caused by the punches.
Luffy ignored the complaints. "Anyway, the others are coming." He observed the sky, where small shadows were beginning to appear.
Nojiko, Usopp, Kuina, and Shirahoshi skillfully appeared using Geppo.
"Luffy! You didn't kill that old lady, did you?" Kuina was the first to speak.
"Of course not. She's fine, and there's a very competent doctor taking care of her, who will soon be our nakama!" Luffy smiled, sharing the news.
"Nakama? Are you recruiting someone from this country, Luffy?" Usopp asked, demonstrating curiosity.
"Of course, and did only you guys come? Where's the rest of the crew?" Luffy examined the group.
"Everyone stayed in the city, except for Bepo, who seemed to be discussing some bureaucratic and economic issues that you delegated to him. Some can't use Geppo and chose to stay in the city..." explained Usopp.
"Got it. Anyway, let's greet our hosts." Luffy turned at that moment to the lady who was coming out through the castle's grand gate, accompanied by a small animal wearing a hat, Chopper.
"We've been getting a lot of visitors lately, haven't we, Chopper?" Kureha commented with her characteristic smile.
Chopper shrunk at the mention, observing all those humans.
"I see you woke up! And Chopper, come and greet your new companions. There's a doctor among them too!" Luffy smiled at the reindeer.
"Who is your companion?!" Chopper grimaced as he shouted, rejecting Luffy's words.
"Why not? I have the chance to have such a talented doctor with me!" Luffy opened a smile.
"Who would that talented doctor be, you scoundrel? Do you think you can buy me with some compliments?" Chopper activated Kami-e and began to contort his body, his face flushed.
"Hehehehe. How cute!" Shirahoshi said, looking at the reindeer with bright eyes.
"Who are you calling cute, you darned woman!" Chopper attacked again. Although his words were one thing, his body expressed the opposite.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! What an interesting group," Kureha spoke, maintaining a smile.
"Come here, brats. Let's go inside for a bit. I'll prepare some tea." She headed inside the castle, and Chopper followed, still looking at Luffy and the others with caution and curiosity.
"Let's go!" Luffy said, and everyone began to follow him as well.
"So, why do you want to take Chopper with you so much?" Kureha asked as everyone settled in a room with sofas and served tea.
"Because I've already decided, I'm taking Chopper with me! When I saw him, my senses told me he will become a valuable companion for my ship!" Luffy spoke excitedly, sharing his decision with the whole group.
Chopper was next to Kureha at this moment, looking at Luffy stunned.
Reiju, who was sitting next to Luffy, raised an intrigued eyebrow. "Sixth sense, huh? You're getting mystical now, Captain?"
Luffy laughed carelessly. "I don't know how to explain, but I've always trusted my instincts, and they've never failed me. Besides, Chopper has something special, I'm sure."
"Something special?" Chopper muttered. He had always been called a monster; he never imagined that there would come a day when someone would say he was special.
Reiju looked at Luffy and then at Chopper, smiling. "He has a strange intuition, but I can assure you that when it comes to choosing companions, he usually gets it right. If he sees something in you, Chopper, it's because you are special."
"Chopper, as I said, I'm leaving only when I have your positive answer!"
"But I declined!"
"So, I declined your refusal, simple!" Luffy smiled confidently, and even Kureha found herself smiling.
"What a cheeky brat. I hope you don't ask me to hand over the secret of my youth too." She said, leaving the women present stunned.
"Anyway, I'll continue with Haki training. You can join me if you want." Luffy looked at the members who started this type of training and left the room.
During the rest of the day, Luffy, Lami, Reiju, Kuina, and Shirahoshi tried to manifest Haki in a large room inside the castle.
Meanwhile, a reindeer watched them from a certain distance.
"Oh! You're there." A voice came from behind Chopper, who faced Usopp for the first time.
"Don't scare people like that!" Chopper shouted.
"Hahaha, don't get nervous..." Usopp replied casually.
"Anyway, you'll have to accept the captain's proposal. He usually doesn't give up when he has something on his mind." Usopp smiled.
"Why... why does he want me on his crew? I'm a monster..." Chopper spoke, expressing his doubts.
"Hahahaha. If that's the problem, let me tell you something. Our crew is full of monsters!"
"Really?!" Chopper seemed surprised.
"Yes, there are powerful people of all races. Can you believe the captain can turn into a 50-meter monster? He almost destroyed an island a while ago."
"WHAT?!"
"Look there, we have a mermaid among the group!" Chopper pointed to Shirahoshi training.
"And not only that, we have a talking bear, a giant shark, a 400-meter whale, a duck, and a powerful dog!" Usopp spoke with a smile.
"Really?!" Chopper seemed stunned.
"Yes, we have all kinds of people on our ship, and if the captain wants you with the crew, he won't give up." Usopp spoke with a smile.
Chopper looked at Usopp for a moment before distancing himself.
He walked a bit, lost in thoughts about everything he had heard.
'A crew full of monsters?' That phrase echoed in his mind.
Chopper reached the library and began reading a book to try to forget these thoughts.
"You seem quite stunned, Chopper..." Kureha appeared with a smile, still bandaged, while observing Chopper. The reindeer averted his gaze at this moment.
"I see that human's words got to you..." She said calmly.
"Doctor Kureha, is it true that I could join a group outside of here, one that wouldn't judge me or call me a monster?" Chopper suddenly asked.
The woman opened a wide smile. "Of course you can. I don't know them well, but I doubt they would disappoint you. Don't you want to go with them to the sea?" Chopper widened his eyes at this.
"That... I can't. I have to stay here..."
"You don't need to stay here anymore, Chopper. I can take care of myself. After all, I'm still in my youth at 138."
"But..."
"This country's fate is already intertwined with that man, with or without you. This country is now your domain, and I couldn't do anything to prevent it from happening... Anyway, they don't seem like a group that would harm you. You have a unique chance in your hands. Maybe you've finally found a group that fits you. This is your chance, and I won't stop you if you want to go with them."
Chopper remained silent, and his gaze met the doctor's some time later. "Can I finally see the world? Can I make friends?" He held a gaze that began to form tears at that moment.
"Of course you can, Chopper. You have a unique opportunity, and I hope you don't waste it..." She spoke and left the room, leaving a pensive Chopper behind.
Some time later, Chopper found himself on top of the castle, where the wind played with his fur. He seemed not to care about the cool breeze that caressed his face, keeping his gaze fixed on a specific pirate flag. It was something that represented his father, a memory that evoked a series of deep thoughts.
The flag fluttered gracefully under the influence of the wind as Chopper found himself immersed in reflections and memories. He had before him the image that symbolized his roots and the journey that brought him there.
Lost in his thoughts, Chopper barely noticed a shadow approaching behind him. "Yo, Chopper! Why are you up here alone?" Luffy suddenly appeared, with his characteristically lively tone.
"Luffy?!" Chopper was startled by Luffy's sudden appearance beside him.
"Hahaha. Don't be scared. I can see your interest in this flag..."
"This is the doctor's flag..."
"I see, it's very special to you, isn't it?"
"Yes... It's all I have left of the doctor..." Chopper spoke, and the two fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind hitting them.
"Why do you want me on your crew...?" Chopper broke the silence suddenly.
Luffy looked him in the eyes and answered confidently.
"Because I like having strong and talented people with me, and you seem to be both. Plus, you're a doctor, and that would be incredibly useful for us, not to mention that you fit perfectly into our group," Luffy explained sincerely.
Chopper hesitated for a moment, pondering the unexpected proposal. However, his loyalties to Doctor Kureha and concern for the current state of the kingdom still kept him undecided, even after the earlier conversation with the doctor.
"I can't just leave everything behind. I have responsibilities here, and Doctor Kureha depends on me, even if she doesn't admit it..." Chopper expressed his concerns.
Luffy, always straightforward, smiled. "I'm not saying to abandon your responsibilities. It's not like you'll never see her again. But imagine the number of people you could help, and all the adventures we would have together! Don't you have a big dream?"
"A big dream?" Chopper was surprised.
"Yes, something that would make you defy everything to achieve, something that would make you fight the whole world to attain!"
"My dream..." Chopper thought, as a doctor, he wanted to create a medicine that would cure all the diseases in the world.
Chopper continued to ponder the proposal, realizing that a choice like this couldn't be made hastily. Meanwhile, Luffy, patiently, awaited the reindeer's decision, aware that, in the end, the choice would be Chopper's.
Chopper, still hesitant, spoke with a touch of sadness in his voice. "You don't understand. I'm a monster, a monster that ate the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Human. People here don't see me as an equal. They fear me."
Luffy looked directly into Chopper's eyes, understanding the weight of the reindeer's words. "You know, Chopper, I have a bunch of monsters in my crew too. There's a fish-man, two giants, and much more. To me, it doesn't matter. Monster or not, what matters is what you do and who you are. You save lives, right? That's amazing, and I want you with me as my friend!"
"Friend?" Chopper was surprised by Luffy's response, which seemed genuinely indifferent to the reindeer's physical nature. The captain of the Straw Hats continued, trying to convince Chopper that being different was something to be celebrated.
"You may be a monster, but we all are in some way. Look at us, a bunch of misfits sailing together with many shared dreams. Being unique is what makes things interesting. Plus, being a monster is not a problem for me or the crew. Accepting who you are is the first step to being free and pursuing your dreams."
The intensity of Luffy's gaze conveyed his sincerity, as Chopper began to feel a flame of hope and acceptance, something he never thought possible for someone like him. Touched by Luffy's words, Chopper started considering the possibility of adventures beyond Drum Island. Still with doubts, he realized that Luffy's crew was composed of unique and extraordinary beings, each with their own singularity, and Luffy mentioned that there were even more in the city.
"Come on, Chopper, let's be friends. Join me, and let's turn the world upside down together!" Luffy spoke and extended his hand at that moment.
Chopper hesitated for a moment, but then, with a determined expression, extended his paw to shake Luffy's hand. "I... I accept, Luffy. I'll go with you to the sea!"
[System - Crew: Tony Tony Chopper has joined as a member of your crew!]
And so, amid the frigid scenery of Drum Island, a new alliance was formed. Tony Tony Chopper, the reindeer doctor, was about to embark on a journey full of challenges, friendships, and discoveries alongside the Straw Hat Pirates. The future promised to be as exciting as the adventures that awaited this unusual crew.

Third Person POV
Drum Island, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
One day had passed since the arrival of the Straw Hats in the Drum Kingdom. Luffy stayed in the castle to ensure that Kureha received the necessary care for her recovery before they set out. Over time, the elderly woman began to show signs that her injuries were improving, thanks to the powers of the Moa Moa no Mi. Satisfied with the situation, Luffy decided to return to the city to share his plans with the people and the rulers of this kingdom.
Luffy leaped from the castle along with the rest of the group, using Geppo to reach the city. As he soared over the area, he encountered those who could provide a better report of the situation, and Luffy descended in their direction.
"Bepo! How are things?" Luffy approached Bepo, who was with Nico Robin and Hugo, talking to Dalton.
"Captain, you finally made it!" Bepo expressed his surprise as Luffy landed near them.
"Well, I had some matters to attend to and waited for Kureha to get better," Luffy explained, and the rest of the crew landed behind him.
"Is she better?" Dalton asked with a hint of concern.
"Yes, she's coming here, and I enhanced her recovery. She's in the prime of her life, as she always says," Luffy grinned, and the man nodded satisfied.
"Anyway, did we manage to implement all the initial plans we needed in this kingdom?" Luffy turned to Bepo.
"Yes, Captain, I left all the treaties and plans formulated. I contacted the den den mushi of Cocoyasi Island and Goa Kingdom; I just need to pass information to Whisky Peak and Syrup Village," Bepo reported, and Luffy nodded.
"That's good. Anyway, let's gather everyone and all the inhabitants. I'll share my final information and bid farewell. It seems like you'll be taking responsibility as the king of this place," Luffy addressed Dalton directly.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" He sighed.
"You would have taken this place anyway. You were chosen by the people themselves, but I hope you can improve the conditions of this country."
"Yes, but that also involves creating an army..." he said.
"That comes in the future. First, take care of the economic stability and development of the place. We'll talk about that later, and now you're protected by my flag. I doubt there's anyone in paradise who can go against us, apart from the government and the navy, but Drum Kingdom is an independent kingdom," Luffy informed, and they headed back to the city square.
In the center of the city, Luffy gathered the residents, who were now more willing to listen after the confusion of the previous day. He climbed onto an improvised platform, his straw hat swaying in the cold breeze.
"People of Drum," Luffy began, looking at the gathered crowd. "Now that you are part of our territory, we have some plans to help rebuild this kingdom."
He went on to explain his vision for the kingdom's development and its allies, including the mass recruitment of new doctors with commercial agreements to obtain resources that the frozen kingdom could not cultivate. Luffy proposed an initiative where current doctors would teach new talents, establishing a continuous learning cycle to reach the former glory.
"Let's build a strong medical country capable of taking care of everyone in this kingdom and even other kingdoms at sea. This will not only improve your health but also attract people from elsewhere to benefit from our medical services," declared Luffy, excited.
As he spoke, some animals and crew members like Karoo, Laboon, Megalo, and Chouchou distributed leaflets explaining the plan in more detail and encouraging inhabitants to join this cause.
"Furthermore," Luffy continued, "we'll initiate infrastructure projects, build schools, train new doctors, and establish a large hospital. I want Drum to become a powerful and prosperous island, a place where everyone can live well."
As Luffy shared his ideas, many residents began to get excited about the possibilities. The presence and actions of the Straw Hats were starting to inspire hope and confidence in the community again, despite their initially complicated entry into the country. Luffy had good intentions.
Thus, he concluded the speech with an expectation left in the air for the entire population. As the day passed, the Straw Hat crew began to integrate into the life of the Drum Kingdom. Activities in the city now reflected Luffy's proposed new projects, some of which were already underway, and the atmosphere began to change positively. Additionally, the crew members took the opportunity to interact with the local inhabitants.
During this time, Kureha and Chopper appeared, and Luffy enthusiastically introduced Chopper to the rest of the group. Initially shy, Chopper had a chance to socialize when Bepo and Usopp decided to accompany him on an exploration of the city. The trio explored the bustling areas where many people were working to rebuild buildings and improve the city's conditions after Teach's attack.
Usopp, always fascinated by stories and novelties, asked Chopper about his life before joining the Straw Hats. The reindeer shared his journey and how he found purpose after becoming a doctor. Usopp, in turn, told stories of his adventures, including encounters with mysterious creatures and heroic feats, leaving Chopper fascinated, as he believed everything Usopp said.
Bepo, the polar bear mink, curious and friendly, quickly bonded with Chopper. The two shared unique experiences as crew members, and Bepo showed his enthusiasm in having a new friend.
Chopper's shyness further improved when he met the other animals, who quickly made friends after each sharing a bit of their story and experiences.
Meanwhile, other crew members like Shirahoshi and Vivi interacted with the local inhabitants, spreading positive vibes and assisting in reconstruction activities.
Luffy, on the other hand, was busy coordinating his crew's efforts and overseeing new recruits joining the proposed projects. He remained the focal point, inspiring the community to believe in a better future.
Brogy and Dorry returned to their normal size and began clearing the heavier debris. Drum was undergoing a transformation, not just physically, but also in spirit. The Straw Hats had left an indelible mark on the kingdom, bringing hope, progress, and a new vision to its inhabitants after all their misfortunes.
At the end of the day, the final farewell arrived for the Straw Hats in the Drum Kingdom. The crew gathered on the coast, where the ship, the Black Pearl, was anchored and ready to set sail. A large number of people came to bid them farewell, including Dalton and Kureha.
The kingdom's inhabitants lined up to express their gratitude to the crew. Luffy, in his typical laid-back nature, thanked everyone for the time they spent together. Shirahoshi hugged some local children, while Usopp received one last round of applause for his thrilling stories.
Dalton, the former captain of the kingdom's guard, approached Luffy with a smile. "You've brought hope back to Drum, Monkey D. Luffy. You'll have allies here now."
Luffy responded with a friendly nod, promising to keep all the plans in mind. The other crew members also received words of thanks and encouragement.
With a mix of nostalgia and emotions, the crew boarded the Black Pearl. As the ship sailed away from the coast, the Straw Hats waved to the inhabitants of the Drum Kingdom, leaving behind a transformed place full of hope.
As the island diminished on the horizon, the Straw Hat crew observed in silence, ready to venture into Alabasta. The sun set, painting the sky with warm hues and providing a farewell atmosphere to Drum Island.
Luffy, still staring at the drifting island, was lost in thought. The tranquility of the moment was shattered when Robin appeared by his side.
"Luffy, you look peculiarly at Drum Kingdom. Is there something about this kingdom that we don't know?" Robin inquired, demonstrating her ability to grasp subtle details.
"It's hard to say. Drum, which means drum, makes me think this kingdom is special. Especially that black beard, mentioned by the inhabitants, I feel there's something that doesn't fit here..." Luffy mentioned, looking thoughtfully at the horizon, and Robin observed him with interest.
"Is that black beard special?" Robin asked, expressing her curiosity.
"More than it seems. He shouldn't be underestimated and holds many secrets that even I don't know. His fruit, as the inhabitants mentioned, is the fruit of darkness and is the opposite side of Nika."
"Nika? The sun god?" Robin inquired, showing surprise.
"Nika is the god of the sun, joy, and freedom. What few know about the god is that he existed."
"What do you mean, Luffy..." Robin was intrigued, eager for more information.
"Nika is, in fact, a Devil Fruit." Luffy revealed, sharing a piece of the mystery surrounding Drum Kingdom, which seemed to have some connection to the drums of freedom if Luffy was correct. Robin pondered over this new information, indicating that Drum Kingdom held deep and intriguing secrets.
Robin widened her eyes at this impactful revelation.
"I don't know if there were other users of this fruit, but so far, only one person has released its full power, known as JoyBoy, the greatest enemy of the world government in the lost century..."
"JoyBoy..." Robin murmured, absorbing the magnitude of what Luffy was sharing.
"That's why I'm preparing and gathering allies. There will be a great war, Robin. JoyBoy is back, or should I say JoyGirl. A new era will begin, and the whole world will collapse. The world government will feel threatened, the war is coming, and I want us to survive the battlefield."
"A world war?" Robin questioned, her eyes revealing a mix of concern and fascination.
"Yes, and you'll play your part in it. One day, you'll reveal the entire lost century to the world, freeing people from their ignorance. You are proof that the world will enter this new era, just like Shirahoshi's birth during that time or even Nika's coming. Trust me, she will unleash her power... Even though she's still in the Marines, I doubt that will last forever..." Luffy muttered the last part, leaving the uncertainty about Lucy's fate in the Marines hanging in the air. Luffy knew his sister would have a crucial role in what was to come, and he wouldn't hesitate to ask for efforts to help that girl he loved more than anyone.
"I understand..." Robin replied, feeling some hesitation in the face of an imminent war involving her dream.
"Robin, this war is coming, with or without you. But do you want the world to remain in ignorance, or will you help them break free from the shackles imposed by the world government?" Luffy spoke seriously, locking his eyes onto Robin's deep blues.
"I..." Robin began to say, but Luffy took her hands.
Regardless of what happens in the future, remember, Robin, we're here to support you. You're part of this crew, and I want you to fulfill your dreams." Luffy spoke, his face a bit too close to Robin's.
"Thank you..." She replied, averting her eyes from her captain. He was too close and was staring intensely, making even the usually expressionless Robin blush.
"Hey, you two lovebirds, how long are you gonna stay back here alone? Zoro brought the barrels you asked for, Luffy, and they're already starting the feast. Are you gonna miss it for a little romance behind the ship?" Nojiko appeared, crossing her arms at the closeness of Luffy and Robin.
"Hahaha. Let's go, Robin, we have a feast to attend." Luffy smiled and headed towards the deck.
Luffy quickly joined the feast that was starting with Robin and Nojiko. The banquet aboard the Black Pearl was in full swing, with the Straw Hat crew enjoying a lively and relaxed celebration. Luffy, seated at the center, devoured large portions of meat while laughing and playing with the other members.
"Zoro, you really know how to pick a good sake barrel!" Luffy exclaimed, raising his mug in an improvised toast.
"Of course, Captain. Without quality sake, a feast is not a feast." Zoro replied, smiling as he savored his drink.
Meanwhile, Usopp was in the midst of telling one of his famous stories, involving exaggerated feats and imaginary monsters. The animals and some crew members laughed and applauded, enjoying the entertainment provided by the "King of Snipers."
Chopper and Lami approached the deck after Lami shared the greenhouse and medical area of the ship. Chopper quickly filled his plate with a variety of delicacies. "What an incredible feast! I'm so happy to be part of this crew." Chopper exclaimed.
"Yes, we have the best food and the best friends!" Bepo agreed, nodding enthusiastically.
Reiju, the cook, was busy in the kitchen, preparing even more delicious dishes for the crew. He emerged from there, carrying a steaming platter. "Eat this, it's my specialty! A secret recipe I learned from the best chef in the North Blue!"
"A great feast, isn't it, Brogy?"
"These little ones sure know how to throw a party, Dorry!"
As the Straw Hats sailed towards Alabasta, the next destination in their journey, the atmosphere aboard the Black Pearl was a mix of joy and celebration.
The sun began to set on the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink, providing a spectacular backdrop for the celebration aboard the Straw Hat ship. As they savored the food and raised their glasses to the next adventure.
As the night began and progressed, the starry sky witnessed the festive banquet of the Straw Hats, marking another chapter in their incredible journey across the seas.
