Chopper squirmed shyly for three or four seconds, then his phone suddenly started ringing like crazy. In just a few minutes, the number of notifications in the background reached 99+!
Because the messages were so dense, the notification sound became extremely sharp, startling Chopper, who was immersed in emotion.
"Ah? What's going on? Is my phone going to explode?!" Chopper exclaimed, immediately throwing his phone far away. He cautiously hid behind the door, with his body exposed but his head completely covered, waiting for the phone to explode.
But after waiting for a long time, he found that the phone kept ringing, but there was no sign of an explosion.
"What exactly is going on? Isn't the phone supposed to explode?"
Chopper stared at the phone with lingering fear for a while before bravely stepping out from behind the door.
After waiting a moment longer and confirming that the phone would not explode, he approached it step by step and picked it up.
Then, he discovered that it was message after message!
"How can there be so many comments?" Chopper immediately clicked on the comment section.
: Hahaha, this little reindeer is too cute, followed!
: Caught a talking reindeer, and he's even a doctor. Drum Kingdom, I think I have some impression of that.
: What's with deceiving everyone? Animals playing with phones are too common. My dog can even play with a phone!
: Will there be discounts on medicine in the future? Injuries are commonplace for pirates. If there's an effective medicine, that would be great.
: ...
When he saw that no one in the comment section was complaining about him for deceiving them, or even scolding him, Chopper was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Everyone... everyone actually... actually..."
At the same time, his follower count was skyrocketing!
Because more people recommended him, after a wave of filtering, those who liked Chopper and needed medicine simply clicked follow.
After all, who can guarantee that they will never see a doctor in their entire life?
Chopper was also stunned by the sudden surge in followers and immediately ran to find Dr. Kureha.
"Dr. Kureha, Dr. Kureha!" He stumbled into Dr. Kureha's room and found her still drinking.
Chopper didn't care about anything else and directly explained the situation.
"Hahaha, Chopper, you're going to be famous! Quickly post a thank-you video and tell everyone to come to us for medicine in the future. Dorton, that ox, is too clumsy. It seems my Chopper is the best!" Dr. Kureha said with a laugh.
The sudden praise caught Chopper off guard, but he quickly updated the thank-you video. At the same time, his little heart thumped as he watched the increasing number of followers, wondering how many he would get.
"The feeling of being recognized... it's so good!"
...
Three days later, Marineford.
Helmeppo resumed his usual training, and like Koby, he added extra training for himself every day.
The reason was simple: Koby's phone was confiscated. What else could he do without a phone to play with? There was no other option but to train, and Koby also wouldn't let him play with his phone, so he could only train.
Moreover, the sales of phones were booming now. He didn't know about other islands, but here at Marineford, phones were genuinely scarce. They couldn't be bought through ordinary channels, and even waiting in line would take several days.
Although there were scalpers in the Marine, the price of phones in their hands was something they couldn't afford with their current salaries; they would have to save a month's worth of money.
The two were drenched in sweat, tiredly sitting on the ground. Their clothes were already soaked, and their muscles ached from fatigue. They were applying medicine.
Generally, a Marine Base would provide each Marine with special medicine, but it was in fixed quantities and would not be given away limitlessly for free.
Therefore, if they trained extra and didn't have the corresponding medicine to recover their bodies, it would not only fail to achieve the effect of exercise but would also overload their bodies and cause them to decay faster.
"Helmeppo, where did you buy this bruise medicine? It's quite effective."
Koby carefully poured the medicine into his palm, rubbed it evenly twice, and then applied it to his arm muscles.
As the medicine took effect, Koby clearly felt his originally burning muscles gradually become cool, like the refreshing feeling of a glass of iced cola on a hot summer day.
"This is good stuff! Better than the medicine provided by Marineford!"
Koby's eyes lit up as he looked at the unnamed medicine in his hand with surprise. There was only a hoof-shaped pattern at the end of the bottle, like some kind of mark.
"Of course, you don't even know who I am." Helmeppo laughed, immediately becoming smug. "Koby, you absolutely won't guess who made the medicine."
"Who? Tell me quickly, stop teasing me." Koby asked eagerly.
Helmeppo chuckled, his expression becoming serious: "To be honest, you might not believe it, but this medicine was made by a reindeer."
"It's a reindeer!" Koby was dumbfounded. "When did reindeer start practicing medicine?"
"It's a reindeer who ate a Devil Fruit. He can speak human language and his name is Chopper. He's also a doctor." Helmeppo shrugged with emotion. "At the time, I just supported him and didn't expect the medicine to have any effect. After all, what good medicine could a deer make, let alone surpass the medicine at the Marine Base? But I didn't expect..."
He looked at Koby, his eyes full of shock: "I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good!"
Koby listened with a shocked expression. It seemed that all good things happened to him. He even encountered such a low-probability event as buying medicine, so he had to re-evaluate his friend.
"You're really bold. Aren't you afraid of buying poison and getting me poisoned?"
Helmeppo gave him a speechless glance, as if to say: Do I look like an idiot?
"Don't guess wildly. Chopper is a cute and excellent doctor. All the medicines he sells have after-sales guarantees." Helmeppo patiently explained.
Koby was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard: "After-sales guarantee too? What kind of guarantee?"
"Perhaps because the TikTok account is just starting, Dr. Chopper is really reliable when selling medicine!"
At this point, Helmeppo looked solemn and said seriously, "Every patient's medicine is personally prescribed by Dr. Chopper, and if the patient has any problems later, Dr. Chopper will be responsible until the patient recovers!"
Koby listened with respect in his eyes. Such a doctor was truly a good doctor!
"Helmeppo, Dr. Chopper is truly a good doctor. Please help me order a few more. This medicine is really too effective."
As he spoke, Koby already felt that most of the swelling in his muscles had subsided. He could continue to train and become stronger!
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you. However, this month's salary was all spent on medicine, so I can't buy a phone." Helmeppo said with some helplessness.
Koby: .....
Not having a phone was worse than being killed. He hadn't seen those young ladies in so long; they probably had forgotten him already!
But there was nothing he could do. It was his fault for stepping into the training ground with his left foot first during the training assembly that day... and then his phone was confiscated by Bogart...
