Dealing with Wapol

Dealing with Wapol

A groan escaped Nami's mouth as she slowly woke up, still feeling sluggish.

"Good morning, sleepy princess."

Hearing a familiar voice, Nami slowly opened her eyes and immediately noticed Yuna smiling at her. Briefly, Nami was confused about where she was, but after remembering how she got sick and felt unconscious, she slowly realized her situation, causing her to smile.

"Seems like I made it to a doctor, huh?"

"Nope, this is the afterlife. You made it to paradise, where all your dreams come true. Namely, getting endlessly pampered by me."

"There is no way this is para..."

Before Nami could finish that sentence, Yuna took out a bundle of banknotes and gave them to Nami.

"Here, 100000 Beli."

"Okay, this might be paradise."

Hearing Nami quickly changing her mind after getting some money, Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement, resulting in Nami doing the same while swiftly stowing away the money she just got, clearly not intending to give it back.

Yuna could only smile wryly at that, not commenting on Nami casually pocketing the money Yuna used in her joke. Well, Yuna never really cared much about money in the first place, so whatever.

'100000 Beli for a joke, huh? That's quite expensive.'

[Is it?]

'... I have no idea.'

Well, in the end, Yuna just got here, so it was not like she knew how much 100000 Beli actually were. Sanji handled the food, her two swords were for free, and the tone dial was such a unique trinket that its price was hard to judge in the first place.

"STOP!!! BECOME MY NAKAMA!!!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!!!"

While that little interaction between Yuna and Nami was happening, loud noises could suddenly be heard in the background, and seconds later, a small reindeer with a blue nose could be seen running past the door of the room Nami was inside, quickly followed by Luffy, running after it.

Seeing that, Nami's gaze landed on Yuna, question marks floating above her head. Clearly, she wanted to know what was going on, yet again causing Yuna to chuckle in amusement.

"The little guy is called Chopper. He has eaten a Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform into three different forms, which instantly causes Luffy to get interested in him. He has been trying to make him part of the crew since then."

Hearing the explanation about what was going on, Nami smiled wryly, already somewhat used to her Captain's antics. Frankly, sometimes she really wondered what she was thinking following someone as rampant as Luffy, but at the end of the day, she could only chuckle in amusement while deciding that if she got a chance, she would help Luffy recruit Chopper.

As Nami reached that conclusion, Yuna continued talking, unbothered by the loud noise in the background.

"Frankly, I hope that Chopper joins us as well. I'm pretty sure Luffy hasn't even realized it yet, but the little guy is actually quite a competent doctor.

"Oh? A doctor?"

"Hehe, are you trying to poach Chopper away from me?"

Suddenly, Kureha entered the room, seemingly having heard the conversation between Yuna and Nami, to which Yuna could only shrug her shoulders.

"It's what he yearns for, after all."

"JOIN MY CREW!!!"

"NOOO, GO AWAY!!!"

Although Yuna claimed that Chopper wanted to join them, no matter how she looked at it, Nami couldn't believe it because of the background noise. Clearly, Chopper didn't want to join the crew.

However, hearing Yuna's words, Kureha squinted her eyes and looked at Yuna deeply.

"How do you know about that?"

While squinting her eyes due to enjoying Yuna petting her head, Nami nodded in understanding. After all, Luffy tended to goof around a little too much at the start of combat, only to reveal his real strength later on.

So, while Nami was almost purring due to Yuna stroking her head gently, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper were fighting Wapol and his men.

However, while Sanji dealt with cannon fodders and Chopper showed his seven different transformations, Luffy had stars in his eyes as he watched Chopper's display, allowing Wapol to escape.

So, while Yuna was pampering Nami, the door to the room suddenly opened, revealing Wapol and causing Yuna and Nami to frown. Well, Yuna frowned, as Nami was currently in a state of bliss due to Yuna's divine petting skills that even the mighty Kyuubi no Youko feared.

Anyway, seeing two women getting cozy with each other, Wapol smiled as he approached the duo.

"Hehe, perfect. Two hostages is exactly what I need right now."

Seeing Wapol and hearing his words, Yuna rolled her eyes as she decided to ignore him completely, angering him.

"How dare you ignore this kin..."

That was as far as he got before an ice pillar grew from the ground, smashing into his stomach and sending him flying out of the room. Suddenly hearing some noise, Nami got out of her daze and looked around in confusion.

"What was that."

"Mhh? What are you talking about?"

"Didn't something happen just now?"

"No clue. I didn't notice anything."

"Mhh? Okay~"

Nami wanted to ask a few more questions, but before she could do so, Yuna petting her head changed into Yuna massaging her shoulders, almost causing her to moan in pleasure. So, filled with a feeling of comfort, Nami decided to not ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, Luffy, who had noticed that Wapol slipped away after Chopper finished his enemy with his transformations, was frantically running through the castle, looking for him.

However, while he was searching, a loud impact sound could be heard before he noticed Wapol flying in his direction. He could vaguely guess that that was Yuna's doing somehow, but he didn't ponder the issue too long as his arms stretched backward.

"Gomo-Gomo-Nooooo... BAZOOKA!!!"

Before Wapol could stabilize himself and figure out what was happening, Luffy's hands smashed into him, sending him flying out of the door and into the distance.

Seeing Wapol being sent flying away, Luffy nodded in satisfaction. He disliked Wapol a lot because he showed no respect for a pirate's flag, so sending him flying away felt rather good to him.

Simultaneously, Chopper and Sanji followed him, and seeing Luffy sending Wapol flying away, Chopper couldn't help but be in awe of his strength.

Seeing the expression on Chopper's face, a smirk appeared on Luffy's face as he adjusted his straw hat on his head.

"Chopper, join my crew!"

Hearing Luffy inviting him to his crew yet again, tears almost welled up in Chopper's eyes, but in the end, he still shook his head in denial.

"I-I can't. I-I'm a reindeer, and I'm weird a-and I have a blue nose. I ca..."

While stammering out all kinds of reasons that Luffy couldn't care less about, Luffy lost the little patience he had and screamed his thoughts out loud.

"SHUT UP AND JOIN MY CREW!!!"

Unlike a certain cyborg in the feature, who needed a little bit of CBT to change his opinion, Chopper was luckily easier to convince, resulting in tears streaming down his face as he accepted Luffy's offer.

Naturally, Luffy was happy that Chopper finally accepted his invitation. However, even now, Luffy still hasn't realized that Chopper is actually a skilled doctor. Currently, the only reason he wanted Chopper to join his crew was that he thought having a reindeer with seven different transformations as part of his crew was cool.

Sanji, on the other hand, was already thinking up a few dishes he could transform the crew's new "emergency supply" into, causing hills to go down Chopper's spine.

Meanwhile, Kureha couldn't help but smile seeing Chopper agreeing to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

'As expected of one carrying the Will of D. Even Chopper's disease of the heart can be cured by them.
