Chapter 130 Departure, to the summit of Cigu Mountain!
Chapter 130 Departure, to the summit of Cigu Mountain!
Picking up where we left off, having finally arrived in Drum Kingdom, they were told they had to find a doctor themselves. So the Straw Hat Pirates split up again. Zoro and Karoo stayed on the ship, Goten, Luffy, and Sanji took Nami to the top of Drum Mountain, as Dalton had told them, to find a doctor, while Usopp and Vivi talked to Dalton about the inner workings of the country…
Luffy, Sanji, and Goten struggled to make their way through the cold wind with Nami. Goten had originally planned to fly Nami directly to the mountaintop, but they were caught in a double whammy of a blizzard and a storm, so they had no choice but to walk to the mountaintop with Luffy and Sanji.
As they walked, a group of rabbits, each larger than a person, suddenly appeared and blocked Luffy and his companions' path. Goten, seeing this, whispered a rebuke: "What do you rabbits want? Don't block our way."
However, the rabbits acted as if they hadn't heard them and continued to attack Luffy and his companions. Upon seeing this, Goten immediately shouted to Luffy, "Luffy, take Nami and continue up the mountain. Sanji and I will handle things here."
So, in order to protect Luffy and take Nami to get treatment, Goten and Sanji chose to stay behind to defend against the giant rabbits' attack, while Luffy took the opportunity to quickly run up the mountain with Nami...
Seeing that these rabbits were far beyond human capabilities in both speed and jumping ability, and that Goten's excessive use of power caused an avalanche, he was temporarily entangled by the rabbits...
-
Meanwhile, on the other side, Vivi Usopp also learned about the Drum Kingdom, where King Wapol not only controlled all the doctors but also forbade other doctors from treating people.
And not long ago, because of the attack by the pirate Blackbeard, Wapol actually abandoned his country and fled alone, completely abandoning his people. After hearing about Wapol's many misdeeds, Vivi immediately scolded him: "How can there be such an irresponsible king? Speaking of which, it seems that the guy was kicked into the sea by Luffy. But I think he met us because he wanted to return here. He should be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Dalton immediately tensed up. After a moment's thought, he resolutely picked up his weapon and ran out quickly. Vivi, understanding his intentions, immediately called Usopp to follow him, preparing to provide support later.

Arriving at Zoro's side, who was watching the ship, Zoro, unable to sit still any longer, suddenly had the idea to go winter swimming to exercise. He even planned to invite Karoo to join him, but after seeing Karoo frantically shaking his head in refusal, Zoro simply took off his clothes and jumped into the icy seawater alone to begin his solo winter swim...
However, when a cold wind blew by, Karoo checked on Zoro again, only to find that Zoro had completely disappeared. So, eager to save him, Karoo jumped into the sea without thinking...
When Zoro reached the shore, he found himself in a completely unknown place. Without any clothes on, he quickly felt the biting cold wind. Fortunately, a reindeer dragging an old woman by just then passed by. Zoro immediately said to the old woman, "How lucky! Hey old lady, can you lend me a piece of clothing?"
When Zoro asked for help, the old woman gestured for him to come closer. As soon as Zoro approached, she kicked him away and yelled, "Who are you calling an old woman? I'm only 139 years old! Go away, Chopper, don't pay attention to this rude guy!"
So Chopper the reindeer, carrying the old woman, abandoned Zoro and left, heading straight for the summit of Drum Mountain, which Goten and the others needed to reach...
-
Back on Goten's side, after finally managing to fight his way through Sanji, the enraged rabbits started jumping around wildly. Goten immediately yelled, "Idiots, are you trying to cause an avalanche? You'll get caught in it too! Stop it!"
However, these rabbits continued to create a huge commotion, and soon, just as Goten had predicted, the snow mountain, unable to withstand the pressure, finally collapsed. It began to crumble continuously, and even Luffy, who was finally about to reach the top, was swept down.
Seeing Luffy being swept away, Goten immediately shouted to him, "Luffy, grab my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately swung his arm and grabbed Goten. After grabbing Luffy, Goten prepared to fly into the sky. However, the annoying rabbits still wouldn't let Goten and his group go and continued to attack Goten and Luffy. Seeing this, Sanji had no choice but to forcibly stop the rabbits and let Goten carry Luffy to continue their journey. However, he himself was accidentally swept away by an avalanche...
After the avalanche stopped, Goten put Luffy in a safe place and immediately went to find Sanji. After finding him, Goten took Sanji back to reunite with Luffy, only to find a rabbit buried in the snow, while another little rabbit was trying to dig it out.
Seeing this, Goten silently walked over to the buried rabbit, pulled it out, and then continued on his way with Sanji. When the other rabbits were about to attack Goten, the little rabbit decisively stopped them and began to explain that Goten was not a bad person.
-
Meanwhile, Zoro, who had finally warmed up his body through training, suddenly found himself caught in an avalanche and had to flee for his life. After escaping the avalanche and arriving at the village, he discovered that Wapol's men, whom Luffy had previously defeated, were bullying the villagers.
Meanwhile, Usopp and Vivi were fighting with these henchmen when Zoro noticed the clothes on these fry. His eyes lit up and he rushed over, quickly knocking one down, stealing the clothes and putting them on. Then, he casually picked up three swords and quickly dispatched the fry...
After defeating these small fry, the villagers hurriedly began digging through the snow. Zoro, seeing this, asked Usopp, "What are they doing?"
Usopp explained, "Just now, when we returned to this island from Wapol, our leader, Dalton, was defeated during the resistance and buried in the snow."
After Dalton was dug out, the doctors immediately began to treat him. However, the doctors hesitated to act. Vivi questioned them, "Why aren't you doing anything? Aren't you doctors? Are you just going to watch Mr. Dalton die?"
Faced with Vivi's questioning, the doctors did not take any action. Their fear of Wapol made them afraid to perform treatments even in Wapol's absence to avoid angering him. So no matter how much Vivi shouted, not a single doctor was willing to step forward.
At this moment, Dalton, who had regained some consciousness, pleaded with Vivi, "Princess Vivi, don't blame them. This is the result of my incompetence. Don't worry, as long as we defeat Wapol, this country will once again become the world's leading medical power, so I must..." He then tried to force himself to stand up...
Seeing Dalton's determination, Zoro immediately put Dalton on his shoulder and said coldly, "Since you're so determined, I'll give you a ride. Let's go to where that guy is..." So, under the alternating directions of Dalton and Usopp Vivi, Zoro and his group boarded the cable car and began their journey towards the summit of Drum Mountain, which Wapol was heading towards.
Seeing this, Vivi couldn't help but worry, "Goten, Nami, and the others should have found a doctor by now, right..."
Usopp then remembered that Goten and the others were also going to the top of Drum Mountain, so he asked curiously, "That's strange, didn't you tell Goten they could take the cable car?"
Upon hearing Usopp's question, Dalton felt as if he were being choked, and slowly stammered, "No... I'm sorry, I forgot to tell them there was a cable car..." The atmosphere inside the cable car instantly plummeted to freezing point...
-
Meanwhile, Goten and Luffy finally reached the summit with Nami and Sanji, and just in time to run into the returning doctor. However, when Goten saw the reindeer transform into human form and even talk, his brain went completely blank...
It wasn't until the reindeer shouted, "If you're alright, come over here yourself..." that Goku finally followed Luffy and the reindeer into the castle...
