It was learned that Blackbeard already had a bounty of 50 million beli at this time.

And even Van Oka has a reward of no less than 20 million.

Chen Qun's depression reached its peak.

"I'm so stupid, really. If I had caught up with them, I would have saved one or two of them."

"That's tens of millions of Baileys!"

Sadness turned into Mrs. Xianglin, Chen Qun turned grief into appetite, and sadly ate two roast pigs in one go.

…

After eating a lot of food, he shamelessly followed Kureha and Chopper back to their home with nowhere to go.

After all, he was penniless, and he was still hoping to borrow some money from Kuleha to buy a boat and go to sea.

Lying on the sofa in the living room without any image.

Chen Qun said shamelessly: "Miss Kuleha, do you know how much the cheapest wooden boat costs?"

"Hee-hee hee, are you asking me the secret to staying young..."

"I didn't ask that!"

Chen Qun was going crazy. He deeply suspected that the other party did it on purpose.

"After all, I'm just a young woman in her 130s."

"..."

Chen Qun was no longer able to complain, a shy smile appeared on his face, and he went straight to the point!

"Then can you lend me some money?"

"Huh? Uh-huh???"

Chopper on the side was stunned, and his hat flew off his head in fear: "You are too direct!"

"No problem. After all, today is a good day. Let's just treat it as a celebration."

Unexpectedly, Kuleha pushed her glasses to the top of her head and said carelessly: "I can lend you 100,000 beli, which is enough for you to buy a cheap boat."

"Thank you so much, hahaha."

Chen Qun laughed happily, even though he could do without a boat due to his strength.

But he was not Rayleigh, and he had no interest in swimming like a fool in the sea.

After successfully borrowing the money, he crossed his legs and asked carelessly:

"Chopper, have you ever thought about going to sea? Do you want to come with me?"

"Eh? Going to sea? Me!!!"

Chopper raised his head in shock, his mouth opened with an expression of disbelief.

"But I...I'm a reindeer!"

"With horns... and hooves..."

"And blue nose..."

Chopper said hesitantly, his voice getting lower and lower, and he leaned against the wall sadly, exuding a strong aura of frustration.

"I'm just a monster, I can't be a partner of humans!!!"

"So what? Whoever roams this sea is not a real monster!"

"I...I can't do it!"

Chopper's face shed tears and he shouted loudly.

He covered his face with his hooves as if trying to escape, and ran away in a panic as if he was being chased by something.

"Hee-hee hee, do you want to kidnap my disciple?"

"That's not that easy."

Kureha waited until Chopper ran away before finally speaking, with an expression on her face that seemed to be ridiculing but also looking forward to something.

"That child is traumatized in his heart."

"Trauma?"

Chen Qun murmured to himself.

"He was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born..."

"Because he has a blue nose..."

"Until one day, he ate the Devil Fruit and became a beastman with a blue nose."

"So he is neither a reindeer nor a human..."

"He doesn't know where he went wrong, and he doesn't know what to hate... In fact, he just wants friends."

The biting cold wind blew and hit the glass windows, making a banging sound.

Chen Qun also changed his frivolous expression and sat up straight.

"So...can you heal his broken heart?"

There was scrutiny in Kuleha's eyes.

"Monster?"

Chen Qun murmured, his expression straightened, and he stood up from the sofa.

The clairvoyant glanced around and immediately found Chopper hiding in the room crying silently.

The black hat covered his face, and only the dripping tears splashed on the ground.

"That's such a pity. It would have been better if he had met me earlier."

"I have never seen anyone more monster than him."

"In this case, I have nothing more to say..."

Chen Qun smiled and did not look back. He opened the door and opened his clothes casually. The coat on his body was blown by the cold wind.

His tall body cast a shadow.

"I'm not qualified to heal him!"

The biting wind hit his strong chest, and his eight-pack abs shone in the sunlight.

He raised his head, and as the aftermath of the fight between the two subsided, the cold snowflakes fell again.

Facing the sun, Chen Qun lost consciousness for a while, thinking of the mountain god's struggle for the road, and of Blackbeard's dream that would never stop.

He stared blankly at the sun. Chopper's past would eventually be redeemed by someone, but what about his future?

He came from time-travel, carrying powerful magical powers on his back, and could turn over rivers and seas with just a single move. Even Blackbeard was no match for him.

The power he gained easily made him feel unreal.

What is your goal?

Chen Qun suddenly laughed at himself. Although the power from the Calabash Baby was powerful, it was just a gourd seed planted in someone else's hands.

He recalled that big hand that covered the sky and the sun, and the suffocating terror turned into the deepest shadow and enveloped his heart.

What is he compared to it? His bloated heart gained peace, and the seeds of pursuing strength took root and sprouted.

"I can't stop either!"

"Cure Chopper, that's not what I'm good at, but I can feel that someone who can take him to the sea will come soon."

He waved his hand to Kuleha

"Sister, thank you for taking care of me. Goodbye."

The only way to fight is to fight!

The strong wind howled, and his heart suddenly became clear. He suddenly turned around, and his heroic voice resounded through the sky!

"Chopper!"

"If one day you encounter any trouble that you can't solve, just shout my name loudly!"

"No matter where I am, not even the admiral can stop me!!!"

"This is not only my repayment to my lifesaver, but also a promise to my friends!"

"Remember, you are my friend Chen Qun!"

Chen Qun took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength:

"I'm going to set sail too! Chopper! I'm waiting for you at the sea!"

Qiaoba, who was crying silently in the room, appeared at the window at some point and stared blankly at Chen Qun.

"Friends?"
