" Chopper, you can actually transform into this form?!" Luffy excitedly spun around in front of Chopper.
"After eating my homemade Rumble Ball, I can transform into seven different forms!" Chopper said casually, a smug expression on his face.
Seven kinds?
(✧∇✧)!
Luffy got even more excited, constantly praising Chopper's abilities.
"Even if you say that, I won't be happy~ you jerk~" Chopper twisted his body again.
However, since Chopper is currently in his weight-enhanced form, his twisting posture combined with that seemingly shy but actually ferocious expression on his face looks somewhat... awful!
Die, you brats!
Just as Luffy was about to say something, Wapol shouted and charged towards them, his mouth instantly opening wide enough to swallow several people whole.
"Damn it!"
The group of people were startled and quickly dodged to the side. They managed to escape, but the house behind them suffered the consequences. Wapol swallowed half of the entire house in one gulp.
Wapol chewed as he said, "Unbaked, it doesn't taste as good!"
"What kind of monster are you?" Sanji was so surprised he almost dropped his cigarette.
"I'm a Gluttonous Person who ate the Munch-Munch Fruit, I can eat anything! So you'll just have to wait and become my food..."
"Pfft!"
Before Wapol could finish speaking, Luffy had already appeared in front of him and delivered a powerful punch. Blood spurted out in the air.
After Luffy knocked Wapol away, he remained in the punching stance, then slowly stood up and adjusted his hat brim.
"That's impossible, because I'll knock you flying before that happens!"
"Damn it! How dare you hurt Lord Wapol again! Unforgivable!"
Kuromarimo and Chess jumped out at the same time, then attacked Luffy from the left and right respectively.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With two loud thuds, they were sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when they attacked.
Chopper and Dalton stood on either side of Luffy, their bodies still in the same attack stance they had just taken.
"Hey! That's a bit unethical of you guys!" Sanji said, displeased.
You guys stole all the red and blue buffs, and I'm left only to farm the three pigs?
"Fine, grunts are grunts, at least I'm useful!" With that thought in mind, Sanji charged into the ranks of those nameless extras, kicking them one by one with great relish!
Then Luffy approached Wapol, Chopper and Dalton approached Kuromarimo and Chess respectively, all aiming for a fair distribution!
Meanwhile, Xia Chen and his companions continued to leisurely sip tea on the other side, occasionally offering their comments on the battle.
" Luffy's progress is amazing!" Xia Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
When Luffy fought Wapol, he not only displayed the near-Shave speed he had just shown, but under Xia Chen's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, it was also clear that his strength had significantly increased.
As expected of the protagonist, his rate of becoming stronger is only slightly slower than his.
However, Xia Chen felt that the main reason was that he taught well. Although his teaching level was far inferior to Teacher Kaido's, he felt that he was still much better than some mediocre teachers. He was, after all, a good teacher!
Wapol wasn't very strong to begin with; even if he encountered Luffy from the original story, he would be far from being a match for him, let alone the current Luffy. Before long, he was given the same meal as Wolffy by Luffy's Bazooka.
Sanji's strength has also improved a lot, and he's facing a bunch of weaklings, making it even easier!
However, because there were more small fry, Sanji took a little longer than Luffy.
After they finished fighting, instead of helping Chopper and Dalton, they went straight to Xia Chen Xia Chen and said, " Xia Chen, conjure two more chairs!"
Xia Chen:...
With a casual wave of his hand, two stools appeared out of thin air beside him, and at the same time, two cups appeared on the table.
Xia Chen said to them, "If you want tea, pour it yourself!"
"Ha~" Sanji took a sip of tea and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face. Then he started watching Chopper and the others fight.
Seeing Chopper relentlessly defeating Kuromarimo, Sanji exclaimed in surprise, "I thought he was just a pet, but I didn't expect him to be so strong!"
"Hahaha... Isn't he funny? That's why I'm going to make him our partner!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly from the side.
Xia Chen said calmly, "That's right, he definitely has to become our partner. We'll have to recruit him, even if we have to!"
"After all, he's not just a proud little raccoon, he's also an excellent doctor! He's the perfect candidate for our ship's doctor!"
"Huh? He... he's a doctor?" Sanji said incredulously. This was the first time he'd ever seen an animal doctor.
After calming down, Sanji couldn't help but ask curiously, "Humans treat animals, that's called veterinarians. What do we call animals treating humans? Human doctors?"
"Um..."
Sanji's words silenced Xia Chen and the others. Xia Chen, in particular, began to ponder deeply.
You know, that's a good question!
Before Xia Chen could figure out the answer to this question, Chopper and Dalton's battle had already come to an end.
After the two shouted out the names of their moves in unison, they moved instantly, passing by their opponents, and Kuromarimo and Chess both fell to the ground.
Thus, the Wapol Legion... was completely annihilated!
"Hey! Come over and have some tea!" Xia Chen waved and called out to them.
After a period of time~
The people sitting on the snowmobile looked at the Moss Head with a bare upper body, a bright red nose, and who was shivering and trying to shrink back. They all tilted their heads in confusion.
" Zoro, what... are you doing here? Exercising?" Xia Chen's lips twitched slightly.
"Uh... yes! That's right, I'm here to exercise! It's not cold enough on the ship, so it won't be good for my training at all!" Zoro explained seriously. He would never admit that he wanted to go swimming and then get lost.
Absolutely not!
"Oh~ so you're just exercising~" Xia Chen drawled, then said with a teasing tone, "Then you can continue exercising here. We're going up the mountain, see you later!"
After saying that, Xia Chen said to Chopper, " Chopper, let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" Zoro shouted.
"Actually, I've already trained enough. Too much of a good thing can be bad, so I'll come up the mountain with you guys! I mainly want to check on Nami!"
"Okay!" Xia Chen said with a faint smile, without continuing to tease Zoro.
"Then come on up!"
Zoro leaped onto the snowmobile, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing him to curl up into a ball.
"By the way, do you have any clothes I can wear first?"
"Wow! This castle is magnificent!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes shining as he looked at the snow castle before him.
"This used to be Wapol's castle. Given his tyrannical nature, he certainly had to ensure he was satisfied with his living conditions!" Xia Chen replied calmly, then continued:
"Let's go see how Nami is recovering!"
