Chapter Summaries

Luffy defeated the Fat Man after his Gatling gun and other weapons failed, while Nami used the armory key to bargain with the Witch over the crew’s treatment and departure. The crew prepared to leave without staying for Nami’s ordered rest, but Chopper hesitated to join them because he believed his appearance made him an incomplete animal rather than a person.

• The Fat Man’s Gatling gun failed, and Luffy attacked him despite his threats and defeated him with a series of punches.
• The Witch worried that the Fat Man might return for the armory, and Nami revealed she had taken his key and used it to bargain for waived treatment fees and help repairing the ship.
• The Witch waived the treatment fee but demanded the crew’s cargo and cash, and ordered Nami to stay and rest for two days.
• Nami refused to delay because Vivi was waiting, and Naruto pointed out that the Witch had left them an obvious opportunity to escape.
• Luffy noticed Chopper was missing and invited him to become a pirate, but Chopper said he could not stay with the humans because he considered himself an incomplete animal.

Chopper overcame his fear of leaving Witch and joined Luffy's crew as their ship's doctor, while Witch sent him off with a display of cherry blossoms. The crew sailed onward together, though Naruto sensed danger approaching later in their journey.

• Naruto and Luffy reassured Chopper that joining the crew was his choice, and Chopper returned to announce that he wanted to sail as their doctor.
• Witch challenged Chopper to defeat her before leaving, but Chopper ran away, and Witch let him go without a tearful goodbye.
• Witch fired cannonballs and illuminated the snowy mountains so pink cherry blossom petals would mark Chopper's departure.
• Naruto explained that Witch had prepared Chopper's backpack and wanted him to pursue his dream without guilt, and Chopper joined his new companions aboard the ship.
• Chopper settled in with the crew as they sailed away, while Naruto noticed that danger was drawing closer.
