36 Chapter 35 (2/2)

”You won't go back on your words, right boy, heeheehee.” I didn't even dare to respond and quickly ran away from that room.

Sensing Robin and Chopper with Observation Haki, I made my way towards them.

Entering the room, Chopper was holding Robin's arm and checking over a tiny mark there. The moment he heard me, he turned around and shrieked.

Chopper ran to a nearby shelf and hid his head, while the rest of his body was sticking out. He looked so comical that I couldn't help myself from laughing.

”What are you doing here human?” Chopper yelled at me.

”I came to thank you for taking care of my friend,” I told the reindeer.

”Shut up! I don't want any gratitude from humans!” He yelled again while doing a weird dance, by wiggling his body like a noodle.

”Shishishi, you are cool. Do you want to join my pirate crew?” I asked.

”WHAT!?! There is no way I would leave with humans and become a pirate!” He shouted.

”Why not? I think you will be a fine addition to my crew, especially since we lack a Doctor.” I told him with a smile.

”I'm a reindeer, how could I possibly get along with humans?” Chopper screamed out.

”Since you are able to nurse a human, I don't see why you can't get along with one,” I answered.

”But I'm reindeer with a blue nose that can talk! I can also walk on two legs and transform into different forms.” Chopper yelled.

”I think that makes you cool! I can also transform into a different form and have a tail.” Saying that I transformed into my hybrid form and turned around, showing him my tail by swinging it around. His eyes popped out of his sockets seeing me in my hybrid form.

”Yo-yo-you are just like me? Are you a monkey that ate a weird fruit?” His question caught me off guard, and I started laughing.

”Shishishi, no I am a human that ate a weird fruit, but my name is Monkey D. Luffy. So it's kinda ironic how I ate a Monkey Zoan Fruit.” I answered Chopper.

”Nonetheless, we are very similar in that regard, that we have both eaten a Zoan Devil Fruit.” He was looking at me with watery eyes.

”Similiar? But I'm a monster.” Chopper whispered.

”Then I'm the biggest monster, ROAR.” I jokingly roared and enlarged myself to three meters in height. Seeing me now, he had stars in his eyes, and I decided to humor him for a bit.

”Look, now I will become an even bigger monster.” This time I enlarged myself three meters in width. He was laughing at me and my comical block look.

Deciding to play a bit longer, I showed him something I've been working on ever since I received the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia from Rukh. My facial features morphed into his, with the help of my Awakened Rubber fruit. I couldn't change my hair color or make my nose blue, but the dark grey hair would do for what I was doing here.

”I can even change my appearance, albeit it takes some time. Compared to you, I'm a bigger monster. Join me and my crew while we travel the world. I promise you will not regret it.” I told Chopper, who started shaking and crying.

”Bu-bu-but I'm a reindeer.” He barely whispered.

”Just shut up and accept already!” I screamed out.

”O.K,” Chopper cryingly said.
