The endless ocean stretched before Heaven's Embrace, its waves shimmering like scattered jewels beneath the midday sun. The ship cut through the waters with graceful precision, carrying its growing crew toward the next horizon — the town of Shells Town, where rumors spoke of a reclusive doctor with a heart as kind as his knowledge was vast.
Vegito stood at the helm, the salty breeze teasing his hair and tail alike. Around him, life aboard the ship thrived. Laughter echoed from the deck where Nami and Zala sparred playfully, their energy infectious. Nojiko tended to the small garden Vegito had started—a patch of green life blooming on the sea.
The Promise of New Bonds
The news bird fluttered overhead, carrying fresh information from the wider world. Vegito caught the paper mid-flight, scanning headlines with practiced ease.
"Shells Town: Doctor sought to aid the suffering."
A slight smile tugged at his lips. The next recruit awaited.
Arrival at Shells Town
The ship docked alongside the weathered pier of the small coastal town. Wooden buildings creaked softly as the waves lapped at their foundations. The scent of herbs and medicine mingled with the salt air.
Vegito, accompanied by Nami and Zala, stepped onto the worn cobblestones. Eyes followed them — curiosity, hope, and a hint of caution.
Meeting the Doctor
Inside a modest clinic, they found him — Tony Tony Chopper, a small blue-nosed reindeer with big eyes and an even bigger heart. His shy smile quickly gave way to fierce determination as Vegito explained the dream of a crew united by strength and purpose.
Chopper's fingers twitched, eager to help those in need and to find a family he could finally call his own.
Training and Trust
Days aboard Heaven's Embrace turned to weeks as Chopper trained alongside his new comrades. Vegito introduced him to advanced medical techniques and combat styles, blending science and skill.
The doctor's nervousness melted beneath the warmth of acceptance and friendship.
