"I see... So, Robin has been going on an adventure for the last two years."
"Another world, that's shocking!" Chopper patted his big hat, feeling lost at Raikou's story.
Raikou giggled at the small deer's reaction, "Yup, Robin has gone through a lot... Good and bad things."
"But don't worry. Robin is on a good hand right now."
"She won't suffer any longer."
"That's good to hear..." Chopper nodded, feeling reassured for Robin. "But Raikou-san, does Another World really exist?"
"I'm not doubting you, Raikou-san! I-It's sound unbelievable to me..."
Raikou was amused by Chopper's reply, "Hehe, you're a talking deer in a world of superpowered people who could lift a whole country, see briefly into the future, and break a space fabric with a punch. Don't you think the possibility of another world is high?"
"Chopper, you're young. The things you have seen so far are limited. Beyond this world, there are countless other worlds with their own wonder and dangers."
"One day, after you fully explored this world, you might have a chance to visit another world."
"That's true. I'm a talking deer..." Chopper nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his furred chin. "Wait, did you say I can also go to another world?"
"REALLY?"
Raikou gave him a nod. "Really, really. I never lie about something like this."
"But you must thank Robin for this chance. After all, you're her friend."
"Then, I will thank Robin later." Chopper smiled, humming and swaying his little arms happily.
Robin glanced down at this naive little creature. Although Chopper has eaten a Devil Fruit, he doesn't notice his beast bloodline mutated because of it.
No, perhaps the mutation already happened before that. The Devil Fruit only pushed a qualitative change even further.
Then, again. Chopper's base bloodline is just that of an ordinary reindeer, and the mutation only increased the evolution value by a small margin.
If Chopper could tap into his Devil Fruit's hidden power, his bloodline power might develop into an 'interesting' state.
'Unfortunately, I didn't dabble into Bloodline Manipulation.' Raikou felt pity that she couldn't help Chopper's issue quickly. However, she had another way to help this little fellow. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As Mother Nurturer, her divine power becomes more powerful by helping others grow!
"Hey, Chopper. Why don't I give you a gift?" Raikou grabbed something from her spatial storage. "Not just one, but two gifts!"
"Wow!" Chopper's eyes lit up. "Gifts!"
Raikou showed Chopper a red pill and a book. The pill is called Bloodline Unclogging Pill, and the book is a manual to ignite one's potential through martial arts.
Of course, no ordinary martial art could stimulate Beast's bloodline.
This manual stemmed from Raikou's own experience, and she named it the Heavenly Ox's Strength Manual. She thinks it's suitable for Chopper.
'Although Chopper couldn't learn it fully due to the difference between our physique and bloodline limit, he should be able to reach 1st or 2nd stage if he trained hard enough.' Raikou thought, determining Chopper's potential with her Nurturer's eyes.
After giving a brief introduction of both items, Chopper initially refused them. However, Raikou's warm smile made the deer hesitate for a few seconds before agreeing.
Hah, you can't defeat motherly stubbornness!
"Eat the pill right now. You will feel the effect as we look for Robin and others."
"Okay~!" Chopper eagerly popped the red pill into his mouth, smelling a pleasant scent waving into his nose and warm energy coursing into his body.
"Kyaa, so sweet~!" The deer cried in happiness.
Bloodline Unclogging Pill is 'skillfully' made with several mutated fruits in Ancient Ohara. They aren't Devil Fruits but possess 'strong' medicinal properties for one's blood.
Simply put, it was a Tonic. A Tonic that is effective in promoting one's bloodline growth.
"Fufufu, how adorable. Chopper, you shouldn't accept people's gifts so easily," Raikou commented to the deer. "What if I'm a bad person?"
Chopper tilted his head, "But you're not, Raikou-san! I can tell that you're a good person."
"Is that so?"
"Mm, you're a good person."
Raikou smiled before saying, "Okay, okay, I'm a good person. By the way, you shouldn't train the manual until 1/10 of the Bloodline Unclogging Pill is absorbed."
"Understand?"
"Understood!" The deer bounced with every step.
Unknown to Chopper, the Human-Human Fruit he ate evolved after he ate Bloodline Unclogging Pill. After all, the pill carried the Aura of a Goddess.
But it's a good coincidence.
...
...
After splitting up from the group, Robin entered Sabaody Archipelago with a neutral expression. She didn't have a good impression of this place, not counting the fact wild Pirates, corrupt Marines, and Celestial Dragons were rampant and chaotic.
"Well, I will do everything I can do." Robin patted her chin lightly, thinking about drowning one or two Celestial Dragons on her way.
"Not everyone can be like Luffy and my crew."
Before Robin could move, a dawn of realization hit her.
"Ah, I have to prepare gifts for them..."
"It's been two years."
"Uh, what should I pick? I should have prepared for them earlier."
"Let's see... Jewelry for Nami to increase her spiritual strength and health, a Medical Tool Set, and 1,000 Medicine Manuals for Chopper, and should I give a Katana to Zoro? He can't win against Kuina with his three swords, though Kuina will definitely hold back."
"This is harder than I expected."
"I can give Sanji a new pair of leather shoes artifact from Spirit Beast's skin."
"Then, Frankie... Some divine metals to enhance his body should be sufficient."
"I can give Brook a new cane sword... And musical instruments."
"As for Ussop, an Alchemy Kit? He's good at creating stuff like Frankie, but more in a unique way."
"Last is Luffy and Zoro... I can give Luffy a ton of meat, but I don't want to give him less." Robin knew Luffy would be happy with any tasty food given, but she wanted to provide them with more than that.
She wanted her crews to grow stronger.
"Ah, maybe I should give Luffy a chance to awaken his Devil Fruit."
"Zoro's gifts can wait until he meets Kuina." After deciding on the gift, Robin clapped her hands excitedly.
Yet a moment later, Robin heard a commotion nearby.
"Hmm?" Robin frowned and glanced to the left, seeing people kneeling on the ground with fear.
Walking haughtily on the street is a group of Celestial Dragons, wearing astronaut-like attires with bubbles around their heads. Their pretentious expression made Robin's lips twist in disgust.
However, the marine bodyguards made Robin disgusted even more.
'Even though Yuhao-sama has built Elwood, a disgusting situation like this would never be over until Dragon Nest dominated this world.' Robin thought to herself.
"No, please! Please don't take away my daughter!" shouted a mother whose 9-year-old daughter got pulled by a marine under the order of the Celestial Dragon.
The Celestial Dragon, who wanted the girl as his rug, snorted. "Shut up, woman!"
"It's girl's luck to be my little footrug!"
"Marine, kill that woman if she cries again."
Anyone with a shred of empathy in their heart winced upon hearing this.
Celestial Dragons are just inhumans!
"Mama!" The girl stretched her hand for her mother.
"Haru!" The mother also stretched her hand, trying to grab her daughter.
The marine nearby indifferently unsheathed his sword and was ready to swing it to cut the mother's hand.
"Haa... So disgusting. I can't stand breathing the same air as you vile creatures." A sigh echoed in the street.
Poof!
The marine exploded into blood mist.
Countless origami papers fell from the sky, flooding the street with whiteness.
A feminine silhouette descended from the sky.
"On this festive day, I will not stand any disturbance..."
"Pay for your sin."
"AAAAAAAARRGHHH!" Before anyone could react, the group of Celestial Dragons wrapped with white origami papers into a cocoon, exposing only their heads.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Celestial Dragons' bubbles popped one after another as they hung in the sky motionlessly. Blood drenched the paper, making a splendid and shocking sight.
"AAAARRGHH! SO PAINFUL, GET ME AWAY FROM THIS!" A Celestial Dragon screamed at the top of his lungs.
Then, the rest of the Celestial Dragons followed. They cursed and even begged for their lives.
Yet, no one below made their moves. To them, who were abused by the Celestial Dragons, these blood-curdling screams sound like music to their ears.
Robin coldly stared at them, "This is just the beginning."
