"Hehe...Pikachu, Chopper...but what does this name mean?"
The little reindeer came to his senses, suddenly his blue nose twitched, and he sniffed lightly. The three familiar smells became much lighter.
It turned its head and found that for some reason, it was the only one left in this bright tree house...
"..."
It was neither a human nor a deer, but a little guy with a hybrid form of half human and half deer. Chopper, who had a name, looked at the empty big house.
It stood there blankly, opened its mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Choo Choo Choo……
Chopper walked around in this tree house with unique little steps, climbed on the table, got under the bed, opened the cabinet, lifted the folded quilt, and even lifted the plate to look at the bottom of the plate...
"..."
Chopper's little body slumped on the chair, looking at the shiny plate in his hand, which reflected the face of the blue-nosed reindeer.
It wanted to shout loudly just now, but suddenly realized that it didn't even know the names of those three people...
And in what Chopper thought was an empty tree house, a black armor-like figure stood quietly in the center of the house, his narrow eyes glowing with white light, silently watching the depressed little reindeer.
【just now……】
【BIU】
[In the tree house, Kuleha suddenly disappeared. Not even the wine bottle was left.]
[The little reindeer is still very happy about the name he has, completely unaware of the changes quietly happening around him. 】
[Kureha only felt that the scenery in front of her was changing, as if she was traveling rapidly. After a blink of an eye, she was standing in another place. What she saw was a spacious living room, sofa, coffee table, bar, and entertainment area.
, you can see a study-like place around the corner, and further away there seem to be several bedrooms... This actually looks like an exquisite apartment full of life.】
[Where is this? How did I end up here...]
[Kureha took a sip of wine and wiped the corners of her mouth. 】
[The camera moves up. She is standing there, slowly shrinking in the picture, passing through a door-like hole... which is one of the entrances to the castle on the black ghost B.I.B.]
[Lynch and Robin approach the castle entrance opened on B.I.B's body surface.]
【BIU,BIU】
【They also disappeared one after another.】
…
When entering the avatar castle, I saw Kuleha wandering around the living room, and came to the wall-full of drink shelves behind the bar. *********. After I.B copied the castle fruit, he combined the original body and Robin's
As soon as daily necessities and stored food are taken into the castle, the layout of the castle is instantly made and everything is stored and classified. This is not because Lynch or B.I.B's mind processes information at an abnormal speed, but because of the castle fruit.
The special abilities that come with ability users... After all, you can't really expect one person to plan the structure of an entire castle in every detail, right? Since it's a devil fruit, it has its own unique conveniences.
Kuleha fiddled with the drinks all over the wall, but unfortunately they were not various types of black tea, coffee, fruit drinks, or milk cubes that were easy to store.
"Why don't you even have a decent drink?" She was obviously very dissatisfied.
Robin didn't like drinking. Lynch wasn't a big drinker either, but he didn't refuse a drink. In short, neither of them kept alcohol in the castle.
"Friendly reminder," Lin Qi came over and suggested, "when you are old, you should not keep drinking."
Kuleha directly threw the bottle over.
A bunch of Lynch's black hair stabbed out like a long snake, tied up the thrown wine bottle, then let it go, and slid down to catch it.
"..." Kuleha took a closer look at his long hair that was dancing as if it was alive.
She walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and asked: "So, where is this place? Is it the pirate base for you two little guys? Hehehehe..."
"Don't be so nervous, I don't want to scare you, old lady," Lynch said carelessly as he turned away from Kuleha's old-age kick, "I just want to show you something that can only be seen here."
Kuleha's kick missed, she dusted her sleeves and said seriously: "Oh, really? I want to see what it is, it's mysterious."
Lynch pondered: "Did she almost fall just now?"
Dr. Kuleha just pretended not to hear and urged them to lead the way, almost kicking them.
Robin smiled softly, and together with Lynch, he led Kuleha upstairs along the stairs.
upstairs……
After B.I.B got the castle fruit this time, he temporarily added an extra layer to the originally designed stand-in castle.
The three of them boarded this floor, which was a huge and empty room. Only the four walls were filled with densely packed books...
Robin smelled the fragrance of books all over the wall and was surrounded by such a sea of books. He suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally, and couldn't help but smile.
"Books?" Kuleha raised her sunglasses and looked around at the bookshelves on the walls.
Lin Qi said: "Don't look at us like this. I think I was a person who loved reading back then. I never forgot to collect books wherever I went... For example, when I was in the South China Sea, I passed by the Kingdom of Birds, which is the Kingdom of Torino.
, the locals warmly invited us into their huge library..."
He pointed to a wall filled with various books, all of which were memorized in his mind by B.I.B's "Quantum Reading" in the local people's library of Doiwan in the Kingdom of Torino in the South China Sea.
[Benefits for Book Friends] You can get cash or coins by reading books, and iPhone12 and Switch are waiting for you! Follow the vx official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!
After B.I.B copies the Castle Fruit's ability, he can directly use the Castle Fruit's ability to "print" the memories of the books it summoned into books.
Of course, these books are made by the castle fruit power and can only be left in the castle. They will disappear after being taken out.
It was also for this reason that Lynch could only invite Kuleha into the castle. If he couldn't take it out, he had to let her come and see it by herself.
"The Kingdom of Birds..." Kuleha became interested as soon as she heard the name. She walked to the bookshelf on the wall and pulled out a book and read briefly, "It is indeed a pharmacological theory that she has never seen before...
...However, these herbal varieties seem to be only found on some islands in the South China Sea...But since the pharmacology is similar, there is indeed something we can learn from..."
Putting a finger on Nami's forehead, she can instantly get the body temperature accurate to one decimal place while drinking wine. The more than 100-year-old doctor known as the "Witch" can directly get the professional medical book.
The two young comrades Lin Qi and Robin stopped paying attention to the clever people and immersed themselves in the ocean of medical knowledge.
Kuleha took out the books on the wall and read them one by one. Then she sat down on the sofa and took down the piles of books and put them on the table.
The white fluid condensed into the sofa and table without even noticing...
Lin Qi touched his chin, "How do I feel? Have I forgotten something?"
Robin stood nearby, also touching his chin, and said in deep thought: "It seems that Chopper is still outside..."
"Ah." Lin Qi suddenly realized.
…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
The treehouse was filled with the screams of the little reindeer.
The mecha's arm covered with flame patterns was hanging in the air. It had just picked up the fur on the back of Chopper's neck. The latter looked back and saw nothing behind him. He was so frightened that the fur all over his body stood up, and even the two fur on the top of his head stood up.
The antlers almost flew out... The little guy screamed and hid in the corner of the tree house. His back was pressed against the rough wall of the trees, breathing nervously, with snot hanging from his blue nose, and his eyes widened.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, what is it?! Is it a snow monster?!"
Seeing that this little guy seemed so frightened, B.I.B's narrow eyes glowed white and he fell into silence.
It took out a pen and paper from the castle in its body, scribbled down a line of words and held it up in front of it.
Chopper can recognize words. Don't ask how it recognizes it. It's like it can speak after eating the Renren Fruit. In short, it can miraculously recognize human words.
Suddenly a piece of paper floated in the air, with a line of words written on it. There was a pen next to it. He tapped the line of words on the paper, as if to remind it to read.
"It's not a snow monster, it's a ghost."
"Huh..." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat, "It turns out it's not a snow monster. It really scared me... a ghost?!!!!!!!!!"
It jumped up on the spot, its face turned blue, its eyes and teeth all jumped out, and two clusters of antlers also flew out...
The little reindeer was so scared that they ran around the room, while B.I.B put down the pen and paper and thought silently: The timid trio's Yanyi is really good-looking...
Then, the stand-in armor wrote another line with a pen and stood it upright in front of him.
Chopper jumped onto the table and put a plate in front of him, leaving most of his body exposed. After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of pen hitting paper again, and couldn't help but look back.
On the paper floating in the air, the sentence "It's not a snow monster, it's a ghost." has been crossed out, and below is a new line of text:
"Hello, Pikachu."
"..." Chopper's nervousness immediately disappeared. He looked curiously at the air around the floating paper and pointed at his blue nose, "Do you know me? Are you really a ghost? A ghost.
Do you know me too?"
Swish, swish, the pen and paper floating in the air started to move again...
…
When Lynch and Robin walked to the entrance of the castle, they opened the door and found B.I.B sitting at the table.
Opposite the table sat Chopper. The little guy was curling up his pink tongue as he excitedly grabbed a piece of paper from the table on B.I.B's side and read happily: "Xu Lun, Giorno, hee hee hee,
Is this their name? Xu Lun, Giorno..."
The little reindeer giggled for a while, then suddenly frowned and scratched its head with its little hooves in distress, "Your name is so hard to pronounce. I don't know these words..."
As soon as it raised its head, it saw that there seemed to be a small hole in the air, and there were two very small people sitting on the edge of the small hole...
Taking a closer look, the two little people in the air turned out to be Xu Lun and Giorno, whose names it had just learned.
Lynch greeted: "Hi, Pikachu."
"Eh?!!!!!!"
Chopper was so frightened that he jumped up on his chair again.
Lynch laughed at the entrance of the castle, and the timid threesome's Yan Yi was really fun!
"Lynch, don't scare it like this." Robin grabbed his face.
"Hey, Pikachu, it's us." Lynch stood up at the entrance of the castle and shouted outside.
Chopper's emotions came and went quickly, and he slowly calmed down. He leaned closer to the two little people in the air, sniffed lightly with his blue nose, and said with cold sweat on his forehead: "It's a familiar smell..."
"Where have you been?" Chopper blinked and asked confusedly, "Why have you become so small?"
Lin Qi looked up at the huge cute creature's head, waved amiably and said: "Want to know? Then come a little closer..."
"Really?" Chopper was too naive and moved forward as expected.
Lynch stretched out his hand to grab the huge blue nose, and gently pushed it in. Chopper suddenly shrank quickly under the influence of the castle fruit's ability range on B.I.B's body.
The whole fawn exclaimed "BIU" and appeared at the feet of Lynch and Robin. It bounced twice after landing.
Chopper looked up blankly, saw the tall Lynch and Robin, and instinctively screamed in fright.
"ah!!!"
The little reindeer almost fell out of the hole, but Robin stretched out his hand and pulled him back.
"Hahaha!" Lin Qi leaned back and forth with joy, "You are so interesting, Pikachu!"
Robin put Chopper on the ground. Chopper was a little dazed by this sudden turn of events, and looked around blankly.
"Don't scare it like this again." Robin sighed and pulled Lynch's face, "I won't do it again."
…
The deer's hooves were "chirping" and "chirping". Chopper followed Lin Qi and Robin furtively, hiding here and there, like a vigilant little agent, almost crawling.
Moving forward... When he actually entered the castle living room, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Chopper immediately exclaimed "Wow" in surprise.
The human lights that only existed in longing from afar, and Chopper, who only remembered the harsh wind and snow, was immediately attracted to the Stand-in Castle, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
There are so many juices and milks on the drink racks on the wall behind the bar, and they taste delicious just from the smell...
"Ah, it tastes good..."
Soon, Chopper was holding a bottle of milk and sucking it, with a satisfied look on his face.
"It's so noisy!" Kuleha's voice came from above at the top of the stairs.
Lynch and Robin went up with Chopper who was sucking milk.
The medical books on the table were piled up like a mountain. Kuleha came out from behind, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked: "Boy, tell me, why? You are pirates, but instead of plundering, you gave me so many medical books...
"
Her expression became serious.
Lynch also became serious.
Kuleha pondered: "Do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth?"
"Who wants to ask you this!" Lin Qi was speechless, "It's him!"
He pointed to the little guy at his feet.
Robin lowered his head, while Chopper sipped the milk and raised his cute big eyes with an innocent look on his face.
Lynch smiled and said: "Our captain does not plan to increase the crew, but if it is a pet, it should be fine."
Kuleha said: "I see, you want to take it with you to become a pirate."
"Maybe in the future." Lynch bent down and looked down at the little reindeer with a smile, "But it is too weak now and needs to absorb nutrients.
"And... Pikachu, is your Devil Fruit ability a wild one? It's too rough to use. You can use your animal-type ability like that! After the Renren Fruit became fully human, you actually had deer hair all over your body...
Could it be that after a person who eats the Dog Dog Fruit turns completely into an animal, will he still have human skin? It’s really outrageous!”
Chopper raised his head and pouted, wondering why he suddenly taught him a lesson.
"Snapped!"
Lynch snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the books on the other wall turned into white fluid, and the transformation was completed instantly.
They converted the research data on blood factors by Dr. Vegapunk that they had memorized through "quantum reading" from the cave research institute in the future country of Guanji Island.
"These studies..." Dr. Kuleha unfolded the research materials and soon showed shock.
