37 Chapter 36

After Chopper agreed to join my crew, I left him to tend to Robin, while I went back to Dr. Kuhera. She was still in the same room sitting on the table and drinking, but she was also reading a book this time.

I caught a glimpse of what she was reading before she closed the book and placed it on the table next to her. It looked like the same language that was on the Poneglyph. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand anything that was written in the book.

Kureha didn't say anything to me, but she stood up and went to get a glass. She filled it with alcohol and placed it in front of me.

"The road ahead is dangerous, are you prepared to carry the burden with it?" The Doctor asked me with a serious look.

"Dangerous or not, I've already made my decision," I told her with conviction. I've already decided that I will find Raftel, and uncover the truth behind the Void Century, while also becoming Pirate King on the way.

"Roger tried and failed. Why do you think you will succeed?" Kureha questioned me. I wasn't completely sure what she meant by failed, but I didn't dwell on it too much.

"That's easy to answer," I replied.

"Oh, really?" That piqued her interest, judging by her amused look.

"I will just be better than him," I answered her with determination.

"Heeheehee, that's easy to say boy, but hard to do. Only time will tell if you will succeed." She opened another bottle after saying that but didn't continue the topic.

"So Chopper agreed to come with you, huh? About time he leaves to see the world. His father would be proud." Kureha looked happy about him, but I also saw her eyes water a bit. She will definitely miss his presence.

"I'm sure Chopper will get along well with my crew. They are all nice people." I said.

We continued talking about Chopper, and she told me stories about his father, Dr. Hiriluk as well. Kureha said that he was the worst Doctor she has ever seen, but he was the kindest as well. Despite not having the medical skills and knowledge, he was always willing to help.

We continued drinking and talking about some random stuff, but after Kureha opened her fourth bottle, she started creeping me out.

"Well you won the bet, but I won't say no if you want to go to my room, heeheehee" She laughed out, and that was my cue to leave.

"I think I will go and check up on Robin and Chopper." I don't think I've ever run faster in my life.

Walking towards Robin's room, I found Chopper outside trying to hide, yet failing miserably. His body was in the middle of the door while only half of his head was covered by the wall. Robin had already woken up and was looking at him with an amused look.

"She can see you, you know, shishisi." Hearing me, Chopper fixed himself.

"It's already too late, shishisi. Just go inside, and introduce yourself to her. She is also apart of my crew." I pushed him slightly, and he stumbled in. Chopper turned around and looked at me once, before introducing himself.

"My name is Tony Tony Chopper. Are you feeling better?" After asking her, he ran back behind me.

"I do feel better. Are you the one that treated me?" Robin asked Chopper.

"Mhm, but it was Dr. Kureha that made the medicine." Seeing she meant him no harm, he answered her while walking next to her and looked at her hand.

"See this here. You were bitten by an insect called Casha. Usually, those bitten by it die within five days, if they are not treated." Chopper told her while pointing at a tiny mark. He continued explaining how deadly is the poison from the insect afterward.

Robin was very thankful to him for treating her, and Chopper seemed happy to be praised and thanked for his effort.

We talked a bit more after that, but Robin was very weak and fell asleep shortly. Due to her condition, there was no way for us to leave today, so I made a clone and sent it to my crew to inform them.

For the rest of the day and night, I found a place outside the castle to train, while trying to avoid Dr. Kureha at any cost. Alabasta

Early in the morning, Robin was already feeling a lot better, and Chopper confirmed that she would be able to travel in this condition. Before leaving, Dr. Kureha pulled me aside.

"Take this. You would need in the future." She gave me a small green stone with a string going through the middle of it, giving it the appearance of a medallion.

"You will know it's purpose when the time is right," Kureha told me seeing my confused look.

"Now go, and make sure Chopper is safe. He is like a son to me, and if I hear that something happened to him, I will personally end you." The Doctor threatened me with a menacing tone, before turning around and walking back inside.

Chopper brought us down from the mountain on a sled, that was connected to a cable, making it look like a cable lift. He pulled us down, and my crew was already waiting for us there.

"Are we finally ready to leave?" Zoro asked once he saw me.

"You even brought us emergency rations with you," Sanji commented, but surprisingly Aisha slapped him afterward.

"He is not emergency rations! Look at how cute he is, don't even think about cooking him!" Aisha yelled at him.

"If you think complimenting me would make me like you are mistaken~!" Chopper told her while dancing around. Aisha picked him up and started petting him afterward, and he melted in her arms.

After Chopper was introduced to everyone, we started going back to the Going Merry.

Moments later we heard an explosion coming from Drum Castle. Turning around we saw a giant pink cloud, giving the appearance of a blooming Sakura tree. Seeing the scene, Chopper started crying, but he looked happy. We watched it for a few minutes, before going towards the ship.

Before reaching the Going Merry, we were able to hear the Giants having another one of their fights.

The landscape was completely changed from when we initially docked on the island. It was full of craters, and a few hills were missing. When we asked them what happened, they just said that after running out of alcohol they had nothing else to do to pass the time, so they decided to fight until we came back.

Upon seeing the Giants, Chopper got really scared, but once we told him they are apart of my crew as well, he got along with them really well.

We started our journey towards Alabasta, but this time we were advancing even faster. Nami had improved her control over wind while staying on Drum Island. She said the weather there gave her a better understanding of the wind movement. According to her and Vivi, we should reach Alabasta in two days.

For the rest of the day, Chopper was exploring the ship, while also getting to know everyone from the crew.

Since we had a new crew member joins us, we partied for the rest of the night. Chopper got along with everyone, but he liked Aisha the most out of everyone from the crew. He enjoyed spending time with her while being petted.

The next day, I spent solely on training and trying to use Armament Haki. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to achieve much, and the Giants weren't able to help me with that as well. I don't want to rely on them to beat Crocodile since they will be easy targets with their size, and I'm not sure if they would even be able to beat him.

When I asked the Giants for some guidance, they just said they can do it instinctively. They might not be able to use the advanced technique of hardening, but they definitely could hurt me or Xander with their hits.

I would have liked to learn Armament Haki before reaching Alabasta, but that didn't seem likely at this point. Thankfully, I have another method to deal with Crocodile or at least one that I hoped it will work. He will be my biggest challenge so far, and I tried to prepare for any possible ways to deal with him.

Logia users are a true pain in the ass to fight with, but I already know they are not completely invulnerable even if you can't use Armament Haki.

I'm really thankful to Rukh for giving me the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, without that, I wouldn't have been able to improve my own Devil Fruit abilities and think of a way to deal with Crocodile so easily.

At night time, I was really hungry so I decided to do a quick raid on the fridge. While I was eating I sensed Nojiko make her way towards the kitchen. She entered shortly, and she was only wearing a loose blue bathrobe. It was barely covering her beautiful legs and breasts. Nojiko was staring at me with a craving look while licking her lips seductively.

Nojiko started walking towards me and dropped her bathrobe right before reaching me. Her nude body was simply incredible. Big breasts, thin waist, and long legs. Seeing her like this, I couldn't control myself.

Grabbing her by the waist and pulling her for a kiss, I felt her melt in my arms. My hands explored her body in the meantime. Squeezing her but, she moaned, and released the kiss.

"You have no idea how much I want you," Nojiko whispered in my ear and started removing my clothes slowly while making sure to show off her assets as much as possible.

Before I knew it, she was on her knees with my penis in her mouth, and Oda damn it was she amazing. Licking and kissing my member while constantly stroking it made me feel amazing. Nojiko kept eye contact with me, with her beautiful blue eyes, while she was sucking me off.

I couldn't control myself further and picked her up immediately. Within seconds I appeared into her room and placed her on the bed. Her pussy was so wet already, I didn't even need to go down on her.

Placing my penis inside her, I started fucking her like crazy. Within moments, I felt her hot liquids on my penis.

"Ahh yesss moreee!" Nojiko screamed out, and more I did, while also squeezing her amazing breasts. I continued thrusting until I felt myself cumming inside of her.

Nojiko got up and placed herself on all fours for me while wiggling her butt. I was about to continue fucking her in the pussy, but she stopped me.

"The other hole please," Nojiko begged me and I complied. Fucking her in the anus felt amazing, it was so tight and was constantly squeezing my penis giving me extreme pleasure.

"Oda damn it, this is amazing! Slap me please." Nojiko screamed out.

"More, do it more!" She yelled out after I slapped her ass.

We continued fucking for the next hour before Nojiko passed out with a giant smile on her face.
