Adventure Guys

*Luffy’s words bring to mind Hiriluk’s description about pirates. Seeing him proves the doctor was right.*
Luffy: Hey, reindeer!
Chopper: Huh?
Luffy: I’m gonna kick these guys’ butts for showing your friend’s flag disrespect. You in?
Chopper: Uh, me?
Morbius: Who else would he be talking to? Hiriluk was your friend and I don’t see any other talking reindeer around.
Wapol: You idiot! You just don’t get it do you?! Alright, then! Since you feel so strongly about that flag, I’ll destroy you along with it!
*Wapol aims one of his cannons at Luffy.*
Sanji: I don’t think so, Tubby!
*Sanji and Morbius charge towards Wapol but their backs suddenly give out.*
Kureha: Looks like your backbones gave out.
Morbius: What…?!
Kureha: Your condition will continue to worsen if you keep moving. So stop! Doctor’s orders!
*She kicks them both in the back, rendering them unable to fight anymore.*
Morbius: Curse you, Luffy and your rubber bones…
Wapol: Mahahahahaha! If you three want to fight amongst yourselves, then please, by all means do so! But I hope you’ll at least watch your friend and that flag get blown to bits! Straw Hat! Say your prayers!
Chopper: Stop it!
*Chopper runs towards Wapol.*
Luffy: That’s the spirit! Go get ‘em, reindeer guy!
Chessmarimo: Wapol, sir! Watch out!
*They block Chopper’s attempt to attack him.*
Kureha: Hehehehehe. Would ya look at that? The little furball’s got more courage than a full grown man.
Chessmarimo: Hahahaha! I’m sorry, freak! But there’s no way I’m gonna let you lay a single paw on our king!
*Chopper transforms into his hybrid form.*
Chessmarimo: Wow, there really are some strange creatures in this world. You must be that yeti the villagers hated and feared. They tried to kill you and chased you away, right? I bet you’ve spent your whole life all alone with no friends. You’re a monster. Nobody likes you, people want to kill you, but here you are, trying to save this country. That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard!
Chopper: Shut up! Even if I don’t have friends, I can still fight for something I believe in! And as long as the flag flies… I will!
Luffy: Hey, that’s not true!
Chopper: Huh?
Luffy: You do have friends! I’m your friend, reindeer! Me!
*Luffy launches himself down to the ground, crashing himself in front of Wapol. The impact knocks him and Chessmarimo away.*
Chopper: Oh, no, Straw Hat!
Luffy: Hehehehehe.
Chopper: You should be as flat as a pancake!
Luffy: Yeah, but I’m fine cause I’m a rubber man.
Chopper: Rubber?!
Luffy: Hey, reindeer. Can you finish that two headed guy for me?
Chopper: That one over there? Piece of cake.
Luffy: Good, while you’re doing that… I’ll take care of this one!
Wapol: You dare knock me, this country’s monarch, over?! You’ll pay for that insult!
Chopper: I’m taking you down!
Chessmarimo: Is that so? You and what army? Huh, you little freak?!
Sanji: Freak? That’s like the pot calling the kettle black.
*Sanji tries to crawl away but Kureha steps on his back to keep him from moving.*
Kureha: If you keep moving around you may lose the ability to walk, so just stay down there and shut up!
Morbius: At least let me go, you crazy old woman. I can heal faster than an regular-
*She steps on his back as well.*
Kureha: Who are you calling old, scrawny?! If he’s sitting this out then you are too!
Morbius: My back… Agh! … my back…
Kureha: And don’t worry. When push comes to shove, my li’l reindeer can hold his own.
Chopper: Listen up! My name’s Tony Tony Chopper! Not freak! It’s a name the world’s greatest doctor gave me! He was a wonderful man! Even if he forgave you for disrespecting his flag I won’t forgive you!
Chessmarimo: The only one who’ll show no forgiveness is me! I’ll stomp you!
*Chopper pulls out a small yellow ball.*
Chopper: Rumble Ball!

*Meanwhile in Big Horn*
Vivi: Dalton, no! Dalton! Please wake up! Please Dalton! You have to!
Usopp: Vivi…
Vivi: No! You can’t die! Dalton, please!
Doctor 1: Don’t worry. He’s not dead.
Villager 1: The 20 MDs!
Doctor 2: He will be if we don’t act soon. He has severe frostbite.
Doctor 3: We can begin treating him immediately if you’ll let us.
Zoro: Hey, whad'ya know. There are doctors here. That’s funny. I thought I heard there weren’t any sawbones in this country.
Usopp: There are a few doctors. There guys are the 20 MDs. But they work exclusively for Wapol, so that makes them back doctors!
Villager 2: That’s right! We can’t trust any of you! Traitors! You expect us to leave Dalton with you? You surrendered to Wapol without a fight and turned your backs on us!
Villager 3: Wapol probably sent you here to kill Dalton!
Doctor 1: Please, if you want to save him, just do as I say! The 20 of us are still doctors. Even though we were forced against our wills to serve only Wapol, we’ve always worked to advance our medical research. For the benefit of all the patients in this country! It was all because of a certain quack who taught us to never give up. We can’t afford to lose any more men like him. So please, let us help!

Morbius: What is that thing? A piece of candy?
Chopper: The effect of the Rumble Ball lasts three minutes. All the time I need to take you down!
Chessmarimo: Three minutes?! Hahaha! You couldn’t defeat me in three years, let alone three minutes!
Luffy: Just three? Amazing!
Wapol: Just three? No way.
Kureha: Well, alright, this should be an interesting battle.
Sanji: Come on, you old bat! Let us up so we can help!
Morbius: Yeah, there’s no way Chopper can take those two guys stacked on top of each other alone!
Chopper: Rumble!
*Chopper eats the Rumble Ball.*
Chessmarimo: You’re no match! Not against this!
*Chessmarimo lights two arrows on fire with his four hands, each one having Kuromarimo’s afro hairballs on the end.*
Chessmarimo: Marimo’s snow melting arrow!
*They fire the arrows at Chopper.*
Chopper: Walk point! Leg boost!
*Chopper transforms into his reindeer form and runs towards them while dodging the arrows.*
Chessmarimo: Just a transformation, eh? I was expecting more! All you have to show are devil fruit powers? You’re a Zoan type, just like Dalton! So you’re a reindeer human, huh?
Chopper: Heavy point! Weight boost!
*Chopper then transforms into his humanoid form.*
Chopper: No! I’m a human reindeer!
Chessmarimo: Same thing! And I know everything there is to know about the three form transformations you Zoan types use! Marimo’s big super hammer Quattro hammer!
*Chessmarino wields four large wooden mallets in each hand.*
Chessmarimo: Speaking of surprises, you’ve got none left to spring on me! I’ve seen all your forms now! You’re nothing more than a power fighter like Dalton! So there’s no way you can…
Chopper: Jumping point! Jump boost!
Chessmarimo:…get the jump on me, freak!
*Chopper transforms into another humanoid form but keeps his reindeer legs and jumps into the air to avoid being hit.*
Sanji: Jeez! That guy can really jump!
Morbius: How did he do that?
Luffy: Whoa!
Chessmarimo: What the?! I don’t get it! What was that form?! Wasn’t his human-animal form the little reindeer from earlier?! What now?!
Chopper: Guard point! Fur boost!
*Chessmarimo manage to hit Chopper, but he transforms into another form. This time his fire covers his entire body. Only his legs and head are visible.
Chessmarimo: Another form?!
Luffy: Whoa! Awesome!
*The impact of the hammer was absorbed by Chopper’s fur, leaving him unharmed.*
Chessmarimo: No way! I hit you dead on!
Chopper: It won’t work!
Chessmarimo: How is this even possible?! You Zoan types have a three form limit! What the heck are you?
Chopper: The Rumble Ball is a special pull that enhances the power of the devil fruit’s transformations. Over five long years of research, I discovered four additional transformation points. Do the rest of the math yourself, you jerk!
Chessmarimo: A seven form transformation?! That’s impossible! I don’t believe it!
*Luffy is amazed by Chopper’s abilities.*
Luffy: A talking reindeer who can change into seven forms?!
Kureha: Your friend, what’s the matter with him?
Sanji: There’s just so much happiness of meeting a transforming reindeer a guy can take.
Morbius: But I don’t blame him to be honest. Little guy keeps surprising me. First he can talk, then he’s a doctor and now has seven different transformations after eating a pill he developed.
Wapol: You bastard. Did you forget about fighting me?!
Chessmarimo: A seven form transformation is impossible! I ain’t be deceived by what has to be an obvious sham!
Chopper: It’s not one!
*Chopper bounces his body like a ball towards Chessmarimo.*
Chopper: Arm point! Arm boost!
*Chopper transforms into another humanoid form, this time his biceps, triceps and shoulders have become muscular but still retains his front hooves. He smashes all of Chessmarimo’s hammers when they try to hit him.*
Chopper: Could a sham do that?! If you thought that was something, you should see what my iron hooves can do against rocks!
Luffy: Whoa!
Chessmarimo: Not my hammers! What nerve! These’ll teach you!
*Chessmarimo wields four large metal axes in each hand.*
Chessmarimo: Marimo’s super surprise Quattro ax! Snow splitting blade!
*Chessmarino makes an X shaped cleave with his axes and sends a slicing shockwave at Chopper. It injures him and hits the castle wall.*
Sanji: Wow! Damn! That reindeer can really take a hit.
Chessmarimo: Damn! You dodged it! Let’s see you dodge this! Omnidirectional snow splitter!
*Chessmarimo charges at Chopper and starts slashing wildly, dodging every strike.*
Chessmarimo: You’re gonna take me down, huh?! You’re not fighting, you’re just dodging!
*Chopper manages to move away from them and transforms into his hybrid form.*
Chopper: Brain point! Brain boost! I wasn’t just dodging your swings! I was looking for your weak spot!
Chessmarimo: What?!
Chopper: *This’ll finish you!* Scope!
*Chopper holds his hooves up in front of his face and facing Chessmarimo.*
Luffy: A… A beam! He’s gonna shoot a beam!
Sanji: No, he won’t, you idiot!
Morbius: Yeah, this isn’t some Japanese manga! …
….
….
Luffy: Hey, you, shut your traps! I’m telling you, it’s gotta be a beam!
Sanji: How do you know that?! Huh, Mr. Smart Guy?!
Luffy: I just do!
Sanji: Fine! What kind of beam?!
Wapol: *The castle’s unguarded…*
*Chessmarimo runs towards Chopper.*
Chessmarimo: Looking for my weak spot, huh? Well, I’ve got news for you!
*While no one is looking, Wapol sneaks into the castle.*
Chessmarimo: I don’t have one! Your little transforming parlor tricks can’t save you now! And as you’re about to find out, you’re the ones who’s gonna be finished!
*Chopper manages to locate their weak spot: Chess’s jaw.*
Chopper: Got it! His jaw!
*They try to attack Chopper but he disappears.*
Chessmarimo: Where’d he go?
Chopper: Hoofprint…
*He emerges from the snow underneath them.*
Chopper:… Roseo!
*Chopper punches Chess in the jaw, leaving a sakura print where his hoof hit him. Chopper transforms back into his hybrid form, his three minutes having been spent and defeated Chessmarimo.*
Chopper: Ah. Three minutes.
Luffy: Yeah! Alright! Wow! You were incredible, reindeer! No, you were more than that! You were amazing!
Chopper: Shut up!
*Chopper tries to deny his flattery but his cheeks blushing say otherwise.*

*Dalton wakes up in a house in the village. The 20 MDs having successfully saved his life.*
Doctor 1: Dalton! He’s awake!
Doctor 2: Are you ok?!
Doctor 3: It’s a miracle!

*Zoro, Usopp and Vivi wait outside.*
Vivi: I can’t take this anymore! Let’s go up the mountain! Ok, Usopp?! Mr. Bushido?!
Zoro: Huh?
Vivi: This sitting around and waiting is killing me! Luffy and the others could’ve gotten hurt in that avalanche! They might be trapped! And don’t forget, Nami had a high fever! If anything’s happened to them…
Usopp: You’re worried about Nami. And Luffy and Sanji and Morbius and Dalton and what’s going on in Alabasta. Vivi, can’t you see it? You’re carrying too many burdens on your shoulders! Calm down! We don’t need to go up there at all, and do ya know why? Cause those four are fine! And that’s Luffy and Nami and Sanji and Morbius we’re talking about! I believe in them!
Vivi: *That’s right. He’s right. You have to have faith in your friends. Usopp died and that’s why he can be so calm. I get it now.* Thanks a lot. You’re full of wisdom, Usopp.
Zoro: No, he’s full of crap! He’s just afraid to go up that mountain!
Usopp: But I heard that there were things like yetis and huge, man eating bunnies up there! I don’t wanna get eaten!
Zoro: Then say so from the start, coward!
Usopp: Ok! I don’t wanna be some monster’s snack! And I’m sure they’re fine! Luffy can work out anything!
Villager 1: Dalton, no
Villager 2: Wait!
*Dalton exits the house, still heavily injured.*
Usopp: Hey! It’s Dalton!
Vivi: Thank goodness!
Zoro: Would someone please tell me who this guy is?!
Villager 1: Dalton! Listen to reason!
Dalton: Get out of my way! We can’t let Wapol retake the castle! We just can’t!
Vivi: Wait! You mean that’s where you’re heading?! The castle?
Usopp: In your condition?! Are you nuts?!
Dalton: My country is far more important than my health! He can not succeed! I will not let that happen! Not now, not ever! Wapol must perish!
Villager 3: But you’re not strong enough to fight them in your condition, sir!
Villager 4: And the rest of us are no match for them, either!
Dalton: I’m going to settle this thing once and for all! I’ll stop Wapol even if it kills me!
*Wapol tries to walk towards the mountain but he’s barely able to stand on his own. Usopp stands in front of him.*
Usopp: Here. I’ll take you to the castle. Hop on. Come on now, don’t be so modest. I just want you to save your strength for the fight, that’s all.
Vivi: How considerate…
*Usopp tries to carry Dalton on his back and take him to the castle.*
Usopp: Just hold tight… ‘Kay, here goes… We’ll be there in no time…
*However, Usopp isn’t able to support Dalton’s weight and moves slowly.*
Vivi: Usopp meant well…
Dalton: Um, Usopp, thanks, but, uh… this isn’t working.
Usopp: Just give me a second! Ok?! I haven’t quite hit my stride yet! Besides… I told ya I was gonna get ya to the castle and I will! Now that I caught my breath here, we can get back on our merry way!
Zoro: Damnit… What the hell’s he doing?!
*Zoro decides to carry Dalton instead. He’s able to carry him easily.*
Zoro: You just finna sit there and whine, or are you coming with us?
Usopp: Zoro! You stupid jerk! You thunder stealer!
*Usopp kicks him.*
Zoro: Hey! Stop it!
Usopp: Gonna knock your lights out!
Zoro: Knock it off!
Usopp: Why did you do that?! And I was just getting my second wind, too!
Zoro: Uh huh. Sure you were.
Usopp: No, I was.
Zoro: Of course you were.
Usopp: I’m gonna kick your…
*Vivi decides to go with them to the castle to confront Wapol.*
Villager 5: Hey, wait! Hold up! There’s an easier way up to the castle! Instead of walking, take the ropeway.
Villager 2: Ropeway? Impossible. There hasn’t been one connecting to Wapol’s castle for a while.
Villager 5: Someone’s obviously reconnected one because I just saw it. There was a rope leading from the castle to a big, white tree on the outskirts of Gyasta.
Usopp: Gyasta, huh?
Vivi: That’s the name of the town that Dr. Kureha was headed to! Remember?!

*Back on the mountain*
Sanji: Hey, Luffy!
Luffy: Yeah?
Sanji: Where is he?
Luffy: Where's who?
Sanji: That guy!
Luffy: That guy who?
Morbius: This isn’t a knock knock joke, Luffy! Remember there is someone else that we need to fight!
Luffy: Huh?
Sanji: That tin plated bastard! He’s not here!
Luffy: Aaahhhh!
Kureha: Well, since his hippo got knocked away, I doubt he could’ve snuck off very far.
Luffy: Yeah, but how?! When’d he go?!
Sanji: Probably when you were drooling over those transformations!
Morbius: Yeah! I know they were cool, but you shouldn’t have taken your eyes off that guy!
Luffy: How sneaky! I’ll find him! Where do you think he ran off to?
Sanji: There’s not much up here, just the castle. And Nami’s all alone in there!
Morbius: She can’t protect herself in her condition!
*Luffy runs into the castle.*
Sanji: If he lays a finger on her, I’ll chop him up and feed ‘em to the sharks!
Morbius: Not if I get my hands on him first!
*They both crawl into the castle.*
Kureha: Hold it! Oh, well. I guess those nincompoops have a death wish.
Chopper: Doctorine? That guy… Did you hear him? He called me his friend.

*Luffy runs throughout the castle trying to find Wapol.*
Luffy: Hey, big mouth! When I find ya, I’m gonna kick your butt!

*With Nami*
Nami: Seems like my fever’s gone down quite a bit. That means I should be able to get back to the ship after a little more rest. Wait! What am I saying?! I can’t just lay around in bed like this because Vivi’s waiting to go home!

*Wapol sees the interior of the castle is covered in snow.*
Wapol: What?! I go away and this is what happens?! Drum Castle used to be a stately palace! Now it’s nothing but a run down hovel filled with snow! What did they do to it?! Oh, I won’t let them get away with this! I’ll chew them up until there’s absolutely nothing left!
