Goddess of Ice: Going for One Piece

A groan escaped Nami's mouth as she slowly woke up, still feeling sluggish.

"Good morning, sleepy princess."

Hearing a familiar voice, Nami slowly opened her eyes and immediately noticed Yuna smiling at her. Briefly, Nami was confused about where she was, but after remembering how she got sick and felt unconscious, she slowly realized her situation, causing her to smile.

"Seems like I made it to a doctor, huh?"

"Nope, this is the afterlife. You made it to paradise, where all your dreams come true. Namely, getting endlessly pampered by me."

"There is no way this is para..."

Before Nami could finish that sentence, Yuna took out a bundle of banknotes and gave them to Nami.

"Here, 100000 Beli."

"Okay, this might be paradise."

Hearing Nami quickly changing her mind after getting some money, Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement, resulting in Nami doing the same while swiftly stowing away the money she just got, clearly not intending to give it back.

Yuna could only smile wryly at that, not commenting on Nami casually pocketing the money Yuna used in her joke. Well, Yuna never really cared much about money in the first place, so whatever.

'100000 Beli for a joke, huh? That's quite expensive.'

[Is it?]

'... I have no idea.'

Well, in the end, Yuna just got here, so it was not like she knew how much 100000 Beli actually were. Sanji handled the food, her two swords were for free, and the tone dial was such a unique trinket that its price was hard to judge in the first place.

"STOP!!! BECOME MY NAKAMA!!!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!!!"

While that little interaction between Yuna and Nami was happening, loud noises could suddenly be heard in the background, and seconds later, a small reindeer with a blue nose could be seen running past the door of the room Nami was inside, quickly followed by Luffy, running after it.

Seeing that, Nami's gaze landed on Yuna, question marks floating above her head. Clearly, she wanted to know what was going on, yet again causing Yuna to chuckle in amusement.

"The little guy is called Chopper. He has eaten a Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform into three different forms, which instantly causes Luffy to get interested in him. He has been trying to make him part of the crew since then."

Hearing the explanation about what was going on, Nami smiled wryly, already somewhat used to her Captain's antics. Frankly, sometimes she really wondered what she was thinking following someone as rampant as Luffy, but at the end of the day, she could only chuckle in amusement while deciding that if she got a chance, she would help Luffy recruit Chopper.

As Nami reached that conclusion, Yuna continued talking, unbothered by the loud noise in the background.

"Frankly, I hope that Chopper joins us as well. I'm pretty sure Luffy hasn't even realized it yet, but the little guy is actually quite a competent doctor.

"Oh? A doctor?"

"Hehe, are you trying to poach Chopper away from me?"

Suddenly, Kureha entered the room, seemingly having heard the conversation between Yuna and Nami, to which Yuna could only shrug her shoulders.

"It's what he yearns for, after all."

"JOIN MY CREW!!!"

"NOOO, GO AWAY!!!"

Although Yuna claimed that Chopper wanted to join them, no matter how she looked at it, Nami couldn't believe it because of the background noise. Clearly, Chopper didn't want to join the crew.

However, hearing Yuna's words, Kureha squinted her eyes and looked at Yuna deeply.

"How do you know about that?"

There was a lot of doubt in Kureha's voice, but Yuna couldn't care less and only shrugged her shoulders in indifference.

"I'm good at reading people. Very good. It's easy to see that Chopper doesn't want to become a pirate because something is holding him back from doing so while deep down, traveling the seas is his dream."

Following those words, the room grew silent...

"JOIN ME!!!"

"NOOO!!!"

Well, it was as silent as a place where two people chasing each other could be. Anyway, while Nami clearly doubted Yuna's words, Kureha looked at her deeply, clearly surprised by Yuna's words. The silence continued a little longer before a deep sigh escaped Kuraha's mouth.

"Sigh I'm impressed how good you are at looking at people's real intentions. Indeed, Chopper has a sickness of the heart. A disease that prevents him from setting sail. If you can cure his disease, then take him with you to the seas and allow him to chase his dreams."

Following those words, Kureha started talking about Chopper's backstory. He described how he was shunned by his fellow reindeer due to his blue nose and Devil Fruit, and humans didn't accept him either because they thought he was a monster. Then, he told the story of how he met a certain quack doctor, how their relationship evolved, and finally, how the doctor's life ended.

As soon as Kureha ended her story, Yuna nodded in understanding. At the same time, Nami couldn't help but feel sad for everything Chopper had to go through so far, which cements her decision to help Luffy convince Chopper even further.

"I see, a disease of the heart indeed. The little guy has been shunned all his life, as everyone continues calling him a monster."

Following those words, Yuna briefly became silent before nodding her head with confidence.

"Alright, Chopper will join our crew."

"Oioi, why are you ignoring everything I've said so far? Making Chopper join you won't be easy. However, hearing Kureha's worries, Yuna looked at her weirdly.

"What are you talking about? I've decided that he will join us, so he will obviously join us. It's not like it's his decision to make."

"I'm pretty sure it is!"

"Mah, in the worst-case scenario, I'll just con him into it. No big deal."

"CON HIM!? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!"

"Mah, don't be like that. When I'm done manipulating him, he will think he made that choice by himself."

While Kureha was getting ready for combat due to Yuna's words, Chopper hastily entered the room.

"It's bad! Wapol is back!"

Hearing Chopper's words, Kureha gave Yuna a nasty look before following Chopper out to confront Wapol. Seeing that interaction, Nami couldn't help but roll her eyes while glaring at Yuna.

"Why are you always stirring up trouble? There was no need to handle the situation like that."

"Hehe, because it's fun~"

Sighing deeply while facepalming, Nami decided to switch to a different topic.

"I'm not sure who that Wapol guy is, but shouldn't you help them fight?"

"Nah, it's just a small fry. We have already met the guy while you were sick, and Luffy pretty much one-shot him. Luffy and Sanji can handle the situation."

Feeling confident in Yuna's words, Nami simply nodded her head in understanding. Since Yuna believed that there was no problem, Nami was satisfied.

Moments later, canon shots could be heard, followed by some explosions and tremors, causing Yuna to frown. Expanding her senses, Yuna could feel Luffy standing on top of the castle, holding a pirate flag while being shot at with cannonballs.

'What is that idiot doing? Just punch his lights out and be done with it.'

Unsatisfied with Luffy's performance, Yuna couldn't help but frown. However, seeing that frown, Nami immediately became worried.

"Is something wrong, Yuna?"

Realizing that she was worrying Nami, a smile quickly reappeared on Yuna's face, and she resumed talking while gently petting Nami's head.

"Hehe, sorry for worrying you, but I'm just a little annoyed that Luffy is playing around instead of just instantly finishing his opponent."

While squinting her eyes due to enjoying Yuna petting her head, Nami nodded in understanding. After all, Luffy tended to goof around a little too much at the start of combat, only to reveal his real strength later on.

So, while Nami was almost purring due to Yuna stroking her head gently, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper were fighting Wapol and his men.

However, while Sanji dealt with cannon fodders and Chopper showed his seven different transformations, Luffy had stars in his eyes as he watched Chopper's display, allowing Wapol to escape.

So, while Yuna was pampering Nami, the door to the room suddenly opened, revealing Wapol and causing Yuna and Nami to frown. Well, Yuna frowned, as Nami was currently in a state of bliss due to Yuna's divine petting skills that even the mighty Kyuubi no Youko feared.

Anyway, seeing two women getting cozy with each other, Wapol smiled as he approached the duo.

"Hehe, perfect. Two hostages is exactly what I need right now."

Seeing Wapol and hearing his words, Yuna rolled her eyes as she decided to ignore him completely, angering him.

"How dare you ignore this kin..."

That was as far as he got before an ice pillar grew from the ground, smashing into his stomach and sending him flying out of the room. Suddenly hearing some noise, Nami got out of her daze and looked around in confusion.

"What was that."

"Mhh? What are you talking about?"

"Didn't something happen just now?"

"No clue. I didn't notice anything."

"Mhh? Okay~"

Nami wanted to ask a few more questions, but before she could do so, Yuna petting her head changed into Yuna massaging her shoulders, almost causing her to moan in pleasure. So, filled with a feeling of comfort, Nami decided to not ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, Luffy, who had noticed that Wapol slipped away after Chopper finished his enemy with his transformations, was frantically running through the castle, looking for him.

However, while he was searching, a loud impact sound could be heard before he noticed Wapol flying in his direction. He could vaguely guess that that was Yuna's doing somehow, but he didn't ponder the issue too long as his arms stretched backward.

"Gomo-Gomo-Nooooo... BAZOOKA!!!"

Before Wapol could stabilize himself and figure out what was happening, Luffy's hands smashed into him, sending him flying out of the door and into the distance.

Seeing Wapol being sent flying away, Luffy nodded in satisfaction. He disliked Wapol a lot because he showed no respect for a pirate's flag, so sending him flying away felt rather good to him.

Simultaneously, Chopper and Sanji followed him, and seeing Luffy sending Wapol flying away, Chopper couldn't help but be in awe of his strength.

Seeing the expression on Chopper's face, a smirk appeared on Luffy's face as he adjusted his straw hat on his head.

"Chopper, join my crew!"

Hearing Luffy inviting him to his crew yet again, tears almost welled up in Chopper's eyes, but in the end, he still shook his head in denial.

"I-I can't. I-I'm a reindeer, and I'm weird a-and I have a blue nose. I ca..."

While stammering out all kinds of reasons that Luffy couldn't care less about, Luffy lost the little patience he had and screamed his thoughts out loud.

"SHUT UP AND JOIN MY CREW!!!"

Unlike a certain cyborg in the feature, who needed a little bit of CBT to change his opinion, Chopper was luckily easier to convince, resulting in tears streaming down his face as he accepted Luffy's offer.

Naturally, Luffy was happy that Chopper finally accepted his invitation. However, even now, Luffy still hasn't realized that Chopper is actually a skilled doctor. Currently, the only reason he wanted Chopper to join his crew was that he thought having a reindeer with seven different transformations as part of his crew was cool.

Sanji, on the other hand, was already thinking up a few dishes he could transform the crew's new "emergency supply" into, causing hills to go down Chopper's spine.

Meanwhile, Kureha couldn't help but smile seeing Chopper agreeing to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

'As expected of one carrying the Will of D. Even Chopper's disease of the heart can be cured by them.
