...~[Welcome to Read*]~...

After defeating Wapol, Luffy jumped off the roof to meet the others. He started asking Chopper about his transformation, Usopp also joined him. Suddenly someone came from the gondola station, he was wearing a Wapol grunt uniform so Luffy attacked him. But he dodged it and shouted at Luffy.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING LUFFY? WANT TO KILL ME?" - it was Zoro, he said it while pointing to the cliff behind him

"Oh, Zoro. Sorry-sorry, I thought you were the fat one who snorted. Why are you wearing that?" Luffy

"This idiot didn't wear clothes so he stole their clothes. His brain must have frozen" - Sanji

"Huh? What do you say chef sucks? I beat more of that grumble than you" - Zoro

"Darkl? But you let their King escape"' - Sanji

"Haah? You said that when you were late?" - Zoro

Zoro & Sanji start their usual dust fight. Then Vivi, Dalton and some villagers got off the gondola station. It looks like there are some gondolas but they didn't see them before. Vivi starts talking to Nami, while Dalton talks to Kureha. Dalton also recognizes Chopper as Hiruluk's son, making Chopper happy. But the villagers are terrified and call him a monster, leaving Chopper terrified and hiding behind Kureha. They get a blow to the head from Luffy and get scolded by Dalton. Nami was talking to Vivi.

"Nami, where's Jon?" - Vivi

Nami then looked around and found Jon, he just stood there quietly after his fight, so he called out to him, but he did not answer. He felt something was wrong, so he walked towards him. When he touched his shoulder, he suddenly fell forward so he caught it.

"JON!?"- Nami

She screamed making everyone turn their heads, and sewed Jon lying there. Kureha examined Jon's body but there was nothing wrong except some minor injuries from her previous fight.

"He was just tired, physically and mentally. His fight did not cause this. It seems that stress is detrimental to his body" - Kureha

"Well, she's not sleeping or resting because we know Nami's sick. He also continued to run around the sea in search of the island and stayed awake at night. She kept coming to check on Nami's condition and changed her compresses while I slept.." - Vivi.

"Surely, before that he also stayed with you until you woke up even with a tough I already said you were fine. Damn it, he doesn't trust my skills" - Kureha

All the crew were worried about Nami, but Jon was the one who worried about her the most. He tried to act like normal but he could not stay still and relax for even a minute. He kept pacing around the ship then ran to somewhere in the sea, or climbed into the crow's nest and jumped up high to take a look.

They only see him quiet or slightly relaxed while guarding Nami, seeing the snow for the first time or when he is fighting the pirate's growl because he can vent his frustration on them.

"He must remember" Usopp said something but Zoro put his hand in front of Usopp to stop him.

"We know Usopp, let him sleep" - Luffy

"Sorry" Usopp

The others also understood that it was personal so they did not ask anything. Of course the crew knew what Usopp wanted to say. Jon had already told them that he lost his family to a seemingly harmless illness, so they understood his concern for Nami. Well they didn't know that the one who died was Jon, not his family, but he couldn't say it right? So they moved him into the castle to let him sleep.

Sanji made the food from the potion he got from the village. After tasting the food, the residents went down to pick up some ingredients so they could eat more. But there were more people when they came back, it seemed like the whole village wanted to celebrate the defeat of Wapol and when they heard Sanji's food they all wanted to taste it. In the end it becomes a party, even Chopper can finally get along a little with the villagers after they find out that Chopper beat Chess & Marimo.

Nami also gave the key to the gun room to dr. Kureha, said it was her payment for her treatment.

Kureha laughed a little and accepted it,

although it was basically difficult her room was hers because she lived here but she did not have the key so she could not open it. He also seemed to be planning something and needed a weapon room key.

~ Later in the night ~

Jon finally woke up wrapped all over his body. He was still sleepy but his fatigue was gone. He woke up because he was hungry. He heard a noise and walked out. He saw most of the villagers sleeping, only some people were still awake, of course the crew was also still awake. They seemed to be tired from the party so they just slept on the snow. When the crew saw Jon walking there, they started cheering and calling out to him. Jon just smiled and shook his head seeing this. He took some food, sat down with Nami, Vivi, Kureha, & Dalton. Then he ate quietly while watching Luffy, Usopp & Chopper clap and

cheering while surrounding Sanji & Zoro

they started fighting as usual.

"You feel better now?" - Vivi

"Yes, but I'm still sleepy. When are we going?" - Jon

"In a moment, we're waiting for you to wake up" - Nami

" Jon" - Nami

"Hmm?" - Jon

"Thank you for worrying about me" - Nami

He had already heard from others about Jon's behavior when he was sick. He knew how worried Jon was, and it made him remember his bad memories. So at least he'll thank you for

makes him feel a little better.

"We're all worried about you, Nami. We are friends so it's natural to worry about each other, help each other, and care about each other" - Jono smiled a little.

The others also smiled hearing this. Dalton & Kureha start asking themselves if these people are really 'cruel pirates'. They forgot that they were just partying with these pirates, even now they are sitting together.

"But we really need a doctor in the crew, we can't risk someone getting sick again. Even some battle injuries will require the care of a doctor." - Jon

"Don't worry, Luffy will ask Chopper later"' - Nami

"Can he do it? The child has a deep scar on his heart, can he heal it?" - Kureha

"He can" - Jon, Nami, & Vivi said at the same time

Dalton and Kureha are shocked to see this. They did not hesitate at all when they answered. It shows how much confidence they have in Luffy's charisma and ability to reach people's hearts.

"He will do it and Chopper will accept it in the end. So you have to prepare a goodbye to her dr. Kurehas. Hearing someone you love agree to your decision is the best motivation to move forward. Chopper's strong, but he's still lacking confidence that's why you need to tell him your expectations of the doctor, so he can remember them and keep them strong. You are his mother, so just say everything you want to your child, after all you are family. Just say it before you regret for never saying anything. "- Jon

Kureha & the others were stunned to hear this. It was like he said it to Kureha, but it was more like he said it to himself, especially his last sentence. They were right, Jon still regretting the fact that he couldn't say anything to his family. She regrets having made her parents cry in her grave, she regrets not saying she loved them before she died, and she regrets everything. But he knew there was no cure for regret, so he could only move forward. He had already done what he could for his family, and seeing their happy and even formidable faces was just a few photos was enough for him.

Kureha thought about it and she knew that she was right. He would hardly say goodbye if Chopper decided to leave, as he did not want Chopper to see him cry and make him hesitate. But doing so would make it seem that he did not believe it, he said, so he would talk to her even if she decided to stay and persuade her to leave because she knew that a child would never grow up if she did not leave her mother's nest.

"Hi young man, I wonder why you called dr. Kureha by her name but you called me old man earlier? From your tone, you seem like a polite young man" - Dalton

"Well, I can't be polite to someone who puts a gun on me, can I? You also call me young, which means you are old. Are you worried about your age, old man?" Jon grinned

Dalton could only smile wryly at the reason. Then they hear it, Luffy asks Chopper to join him and see the world with him. Chopper refuses, saying he can't leave because he's a deer or a monster or a blue nose. Luffy as Luffy, she rejects the rejection.

"BE QUIET AND START!!" - Luffy said as he raised his hand

"OO0OUUUU!" - Chopper said in tears and raised his hand as well

"seen? We told you he could do it doctor, now it's your turn" - Jon

"Damn brat, you really have a slippery tongue huh? You can even think about and say that 'interesting' phrase while you fight" - Kureha said as she walked towards Chopper.

"Eh!?"- Jon

"What does Jon mean?" - Vivi

"Ah, that's, well, you know, just a few things to distract the enemy" - Jon said as he scratched his head.

When Kureha said it like that, it embarrassed her. Although tough he thought it was cool but he must have thought it was funny. According dr. Kureha knew that she just wanted to show off early. But he had no idea that Luffy & Usopp had already told everyone about his fight, and of course about that sentence as well. The boys just thought it was a nice sentence and they wanted to make it themselves, Vivi looked

impressed because he doesn't know his intentions, but Nami knows, and he now has something

to tease Jon.
