Chapter 917 - Tony Tony Chopper

When they all reach the top of the mountain, Nami and Luffy jump out and start to look around, expert for snow and a gigantic castle in the middle, there's no other thing in here.

"Where's the deer?"

"Xin where the deer you're talking about."

"Wait a second, he will seance us fast," Xin said.

After a couple of seconds, Xin first senses the incoming steps from the castle, next Nami senses it and lastly Luffy and Sanji.

"Is that the deer?" Nami asks.

"Yes, it seems he already smells us." Xin said.

From the giant door, they can see someone is peeking towards them, Luffy then dash to chase it.

"Stop!!"

"Kya!!"

Luffy and the deer then disappear on their sight, the two of them enter the castle and then, they start to hear something breaking or falling.

"Kya? Pretty weird? Is the deer song like that?" Nami is confused.

"Maybe a strange deer, Nami-chan~" Sanji commented.

"Leys follow, I'm pretty sure Luffy already caught that."

When they find Luffy, he is standing on a corridor while a strange creature is being cornered on the end of the corridor.

"Hey Xin, i found a raccoon, i think his meat will be delicious," Luffy cheerfully said.

Nami and Sanji both look closer and see a strange creature standing on two legs.

A reindeer hybrid standing on two legs, wearing dark purple shorts and a hat with an X mark on the middle, the deer also has a strange blue nose.

"Shut up, I'm not a Racoon!!" The reindeer hybrid angry shout while trying to back away from them.

"You can also talk?"

"He can talk?"

"Amazing, is that a magic trick?"

"Shut up! What's strange about a talking deer?"

"Talking is the strangest one." They said,

"Well, never mind, let's eat this raccoon, Sanji help me, don't let this little guy escape."

"I'm coming, this is the first time i can cook a strange deer."

Luffy and Sanji pounce on him holding his arms and legs to prevent him from escaping.

"Stop you Human!! I hate humans like you!"

\Nami who looked at the can't help but to ask," is that the deer you're talking about?"

"Yes, a pretty friendly deer and a special one too."

"Yeah…. A special deer that can talk.."

Nami still feels weird seeing a talking reindeer, and it seems Xin noticed so he said," Actually, he is just like an ordinary Reindeer when he was born, except for his unique blue nose, everything from him is normal."

"Is he still normal in that condition?"

"Yes, ntot before he ate a strange fruit."

"A strange fruit?"

Xin nodded," He ate Hito Hito no Mi."

"Hito Hito no Mi? You mean Human-Human Fruit?"

"That's right, he ate that and became like this, as you can see, Hito Hito no Mi is a normal Devil Fruit," Xin looked at her and asked," I think you already know what Devil Fruit is."

"Of course, do you think I'm an idiot? I study everything I know and the other teaches us everything from survival to self-defence." Nami said.

"Good, I thought you escaped again to play outside." Xin cant help to pet her head like he usually does when she is still small.

"Don't pet me! I'm already old!" Nami angry said but still, she did not remove Xin's hand from her head.

Xin continue." The Hito Hito no Mi is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid or a human at will. It was eaten by the reindeer, turning him into a Human Reindeer"

"If consumed by an animal or object, this fruit grants them the intelligence of a human as well as the ability to speak in human language; if the user is an animal, they retain the ability to communicate with other animals as well. Like other Zoans, this fruit grants the normal three phases of transformation, but the user will retain their human intelligence even when not transformed."

"And right now, this Randeer clearly knows how to use his special ability."

"Stop! you humans!"

"Don't run away you sweet meat!!"

"Luffy, i told you that you can't eat him now, let me cook him first!!"

"Damn you, I said I hate you, Human!"

Suddenly the reindeer grows larger and transforms into a 6 feet tall primate-like thing, he then smacks Sanji and Luffy easily and escapes from them.

Xin waves his hand making the reindeer stop from running, with one gesture, the reindeer sloat towards Xin and stop in the mid-air.

"W-What are you doing!?" The reindeer nervously asks while trying to escape but it's fruitless, he feels that he is being held by an invisible hand.

"I just want to ask your name, that's all."

"M-M-M-M-My name.... Chopper…"

"Good, next is, I want to ask you if you want to follow me."

"Ha?"

Swish~

Ting!!

Xin catches a flying knife in the air, he looks at the distance and sees an older woman shouting at them.

"What are you doing to my reindeer!!"
