Chapter 78: The Drum Kingdom with Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom
"It can fulfill the dream of my dead friend." Chopper answered Rey solemnly.
Rey weighed the pink potion jar a few times and said, "Now that Valpo has hung up, let's go and show off Siruluk's great invention."
He looked at the three cannons left here by Valpo's men during their hasty escape, and remembered that the potion seemed to be fired by cannon fire.
"Rey, just spread them all over the Drum Kingdom. There is no need to use these cannons. You know what I mean."
Xiao Hei reminded Rey.
"I see."
As he spoke, Rey turned into a bolt of lightning and flew into the vast starry sky.
"You bastard, come back here!" Kuleha roared in the direction of Rey's flight.
"Meow, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight in Kuleha, it's time to add some color to the Drum Kingdom."
Xiao Hei comforted Kuleha, then turned around and pulled Chopper, "Let's enjoy Hiruluk's masterpiece together!"
Under the moonlight, with a flash of lightning, pink potion fell from the sky.
When they touch the cedars that are covered with wind and snow all year round in the Drum Kingdom, dense cherry blossoms bloom from the cedars.
Due to the Valpo raid, many parts of the town were already in flames, and Dalton was tending to the wounded.
At this time, everyone saw the pink light falling into the fire, which extinguished the fire, and a large bush of cherry blossoms appeared.
The rooftops, bridges, and even the huts on the roadside are covered with bunches of cherry blossoms.
People who have lived in the Ciggu Kingdom since childhood have never imagined that their hometown, which is always covered by wind and snow, can be filled with cherry blossoms that symbolize spring.
The fragrance scattered by the wind soothes the drum kingdom that has gone through war.
Chopper and Kuleha on the Drum Peak had tears in their eyes.
This is Hiruluk's dream, to let the cherry blossoms bloom in the Drum Kingdom.
At first, Kuleha felt that Siruluk's dream seemed to have no practical significance. It was difficult to understand a doctor who did not study medicine.
But now she understood that Siruluk wanted to use this method to heal the hearts of the entire Drum Kingdom that had been devastated by Valpo's tyranny.
He wants to prove to everyone that nothing is impossible, even in the cold wind, cherry blossoms can bloom.
The good hope in people's hearts should never wither no matter what the circumstances.
Rey sprinkled the last bit of pink potion on Kuleha's castle and flew back to Chopper.
Chopper looked at Rey, "How do you know this is what Hiluluk wants?"
"He's always so mysterious. He also claims that he knows the East China Sea divination and knows everything." Luffy rushed to answer Chopper's question.
Rey smiled sheepishly, "I spread this potion without your consent. I hope you don't blame me."
"You brat, I thought you were going to take away Siruluk's relics, but I didn't expect..." Kuleha's voice was trembling, and she tried her best to restrain her excitement, "You did a good job, I miss Siruluk." Lu Kequan will be very happy if you know it.”
Luffy kicked the motionless Valpo, "Rey, don't forget to get your knife back, and we should go back, everyone should be anxious."
"Yes, thank you Captain for reminding me." A thunderbolt broke Valpo's belly. Rey took back his sky knife, wiped off the blood on it and skillfully put the knife back into the sheath on his waist. Then he looked at Chopper, "Chopper, it's time for us to go."
"Are you going to travel around the world?" Chopper looked at Rey and the others with envy in his eyes.
"That's right Chopper, we have to fulfill our dreams. I want to help my silly captain become the Pirate King!"
"Hey Rey, who are you calling a fool!" Luffy got a little angry, "How could you say that to your boss in front of outsiders!"
"I didn't expect you to learn how to save face, Luffy, you are worthy of being red..." Rey originally wanted to say that Luffy was worthy of being the man saved by the red hair. After all, "give me face next time" is the red hair's famous saying, but he stopped in time. .
"Well, it doesn't matter, let's go." Luffy, a heartless guy, wouldn't really care about Rey.
In order to take care of Xiao Hei, they chose to rush back to the town on foot.
When leaving the top of the Drum Peak, Rey did not persuade Chopper to come with them. He only gave Xiao Hei a hint in his eyes.
Xiao Hei was quite speechless, thinking that this guy was really good at summoning people.
Before leaving, Xiao Hei said to Chopper: "We won't set sail until noon tomorrow. If you want to explore the world with the big guys, come with Chopper! We will all welcome you, and you will have a bunch of friends to start the journey. new life."
After saying that, Xiao Hei quickly chased after Rey and Luffy.
Chopper stood there, at a loss.
He wanted to follow now, but he still couldn't take the step.
At this moment, Chopper suddenly felt something kick his butt, and he fell headfirst into the snow.
Then he heard Kuleha's scolding, "Chopper, you should get out of here. How long are you going to eat and drink around me for free? It's rare for someone to accept you, an alien. Don't stay with me." It’s an eyesore. When I see you, I always think of that idiot Siruluk, and I’m not in a good mood at all!”
As she said this, Kuleha picked up a wooden board from somewhere and ran towards Chopper to hit it. Chopper was so frightened that he opened his short legs and ran frantically to the foot of the Drum Peak.
Watching Chopper's back gradually disappearing into the moonlight, Kureha burst into tears, "Goodbye Chopper!"
At noon the next day, the Straw Hat Pirates boarded the Golden Merry with the welcome of the people of the Drum Kingdom.
Dalton raised a lot of food for them, "Thank you for defeating Walpo. From now on, our Drum Kingdom has ushered in true freedom!"
"You see, there is no harm in letting me go to the island, hahahaha. But Dalton, you still have to continue your cautious style. The peace of the Drum Kingdom needs you to protect it."
After a few polite words with Dalton, Rey slowly walked towards the Golden Merry. He looked back every three steps, but he never saw Chopper.
"What are you dawdling about, Rey, you don't want to stay here, do you?" Zoro shouted at Rey.
"Okay, I'll get on the ship now." After taking a last look at the ice and snow of the Drum Kingdom, Rey flew back to the Golden Merry.
"Let's set sail!" With a loud shout from Luffy, who was sitting on the figurehead, the Golden Merry slowly turned its bow and headed for the sea.
On the deck, Rey was dejected. Chopper didn't follow after all. Maybe he should have taken the initiative to invite him.
"Rei, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you on the boat for a long time."
At this time, a familiar voice interrupted Rei's thoughts. Rei turned around and saw, "Chopper!"
Chopper was touching Xiao Hei's fur.
Xiao Hei said, "Meow, I followed you last night. You guys went to sleep as soon as you entered the door. I brought Chopper to the boat to spend the night first, meow."
Rei excitedly picked up Chopper and Xiao Hei together, "So Chopper has decided to join us, right!"
