----------

The bright sunshine illuminated the silver-white mountain peaks, reflecting a brilliance that gleamed like gold.

Smoker stood at the castle doorway, staring at the smoke rising in the distance. After talking all day yesterday, he had learned about the country's current situation.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Smoker's heart had indeed begun to waver. If he had never witnessed such things firsthand, he might not have thought much of it. But after learning that the Wapol regime, controlled by the World Government, had committed such atrocities in Drum Kingdom, he actually began to question the Marine organization he had devoted himself to...

Was it truly justice?

…

…

Meanwhile, inside the castle, in a room that Dr. Kureha had converted into a pharmacy.

The witch doctor, nearly 140 years old, looked with surprise at the healing medicine in Red's hand, then at the wounded snow rabbit before them. As the rabbit's injury healed rapidly, a look of interest and amusement suddenly appeared on her face.

"Interesting~ Is this a healing potion made with Devil Fruit powers?" she asked curiously, examining the liquid in the brown glass bottle.

"Hmm..." Red thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"No, this isn't Devil Fruit power."

He looked up and explained:

"It's a special healing potion I obtained through another source. It can quickly replenish physical energy and instantly heal injuries. But compared to the Heal-Heal Fruit's power, its effect is slightly weaker. This medicine can only repair injuries and regenerate cells, but it can't eliminate viruses, toxins, or other disease-causing agents in the body."

Though Red didn't reveal the whole truth, he chose not to hide everything from Dr. Kureha.

Details from various sources suggested that Kureha must have had a significant background in her younger days. Although her medical skills weren't described in detail, the fact that she commanded respect in a kingdom renowned for medicine proved she was no ordinary doctor.

This was why Red had shown the potion in front of her. He wanted to use Kureha's exceptional medical expertise to determine whether the items from the game world were merely game constructs operating under certain rules, or if they were special potions with real, practical effects.

If it was the former, so be it...

But if it was the latter, then perhaps in future game versions, Red could plant fruit trees on the Going Merry, using their fruits to mass-produce various Pokémon world items!

"You know about the Heal-Heal Fruit?"

After hearing Red's words, the look of surprise on Kureha's face intensified.

After all, that Devil Fruit power was something many medical scientists in this world dreamed of obtaining! Kureha was naturally no exception. She had even searched for it briefly in her youth, though that was over a hundred years ago.

"Of course!" Red replied calmly. "Didn't I mention it before, Dr. Kureha... I can truly see the future! Otherwise, we wouldn't have found you and Chopper so easily! Oh, by the way, Chopper, what are you thinking about?"

Red suddenly set down the potion and smiled at Chopper, who stood in the corner of the room, astonished by the medicine's effectiveness.

"Huh?!"

Chopper was startled when his name was suddenly called.

Seeing Red walking directly toward him, he immediately backed away nervously, looking as if he wanted to find a crack in the floor and disappear into it.

It seemed that Luffy's enthusiastic pursuit yesterday had left a traumatic impression on Chopper's young mind.

"Don't be nervous, Chopper. I'm not as impulsive as Luffy~"

Red did his best to maintain a relaxed smile as he approached Chopper.

Perhaps because his smile was genuinely friendly, or maybe because the healing potion he had just demonstrated held a unique appeal for Chopper as a doctor, the little reindeer gradually calmed down under Red's gentle words.

"What... what do you want?" he asked nervously.

His round eyes kept studying Red, while in his heart he couldn't help but recall the face of his adoptive father, Dr. Hiluluk.

Could these be the pirates Dr. Hiluluk mentioned? Pirates who could casually produce magical healing potions?!

Dr. Hiluluk, you were right!

The sea truly is magical~!

Pirates really are amazing.

Chopper's heart swelled with excitement, his eyes shining with longing.

Snap~!

At that moment, Red's palm gently patted Chopper's pink hat, then lovingly stroked it.

"Little Chopper, that healing medicine was pretty magical, wasn't it?"

He grinned, taking advantage of the trust established by the potion's impressive effects to get closer to Chopper.

"Eep!"

Chopper's entire body trembled when his hat was suddenly touched.

But after hearing Red's words, he nodded in agreement.

"...Yes, it's my first time seeing such a powerful potion."

Just a few drops of medicine making a wound heal so quickly... he had never seen or heard of such a magical remedy, even after searching through Dr. Kureha's extensive medical collection.

No doctor could resist such a miraculous medicine.

And Chopper's reaction was exactly what Red had hoped to see.

After all, he had more than one purpose in revealing the healing potion.

As someone who knew how to maximize the potential of his partners, Red understood how to get the most value from his resources.

"So..."

A tempting smile appeared on Red's face.

He looked directly at Chopper and asked softly:

"Little Chopper, would you like to... visit the world where this medicine is produced and see it with your own eyes?"

…

…

"The Pokémon world... is real!!!"

In a flash, the figures of Red and little Chopper suddenly appeared in a lush grassland.

Seeing the ice-covered castle instantly transform into a scene of birdsong and blooming flowers, Chopper's eyes widened in amazement, his mind racing through everything Red had just told him.

Thanks to Chopper's innocent nature, Red successfully registered him in his Pokémon roster without much effort.

…

"Grass! Ice! Pixilate! I didn't expect Chopper to be a legendary multi-type Pokémon!"

Looking at Chopper's attribute list, a mysterious light flashed in Red's eyes.

With a thought, he immediately clicked on the move learning interface.

Seeing that little Chopper still looked stunned, he smiled gently:

"Chopper, are you ready for the next surprise?"

"Huh?"

Chopper, who hadn't yet recovered his senses, was bewildered, but without giving him any chance to respond, Red began operating directly on the game panel before him.

Suddenly!

A series of memories poured into Chopper's body like instinct, regardless of whether he could handle them or not.

These moves and skills officially activated the Pokémon energy within him.

Turquoise representing the Grass attribute, azure blue for the Ice attribute, and soft pink for the Fairy attribute...

The three colors formed weak halos, slowly pulsing around Chopper's body like special effects from a digital monster evolution, mysterious and enchanting.

But soon, these glimmers of light faded away.

When Chopper opened his eyes again, four new Pokémon moves had been added to his skill list:

Giga Drain, Headbutt, Tri Attack, and what no one except little Merry had fully mastered...

Hyper Beam!
