Inside the green alternate space, Sugar landed on a soft cotton bed, completely dumbfounded.
"Sugar, are you okay?" Nami rushed over immediately.
Daisy and Nojiko did the same.
"Sugar, are you alright?" Ryuen also asked quickly.
"You bully! You bullied me again! Nami, he's bullying me!"
Sugar finally snapped out of it and burst into loud sobs. She felt like she had never been wronged this badly before.
"When did I even—" Ryuen started to defend himself, but when he saw the fiery glares of the three women, he quickly backed up.
One minute later, Ryuen had been beaten so badly by the three women that his face was swollen like a pig's head.
"Don't think I don't know what you were just thinking. We've been together long enough that I can tell what's on your mind with just a single eyebrow raise," Nami huffed, her chest rising and falling in anger.
"She was stepping on my back on purpose just now! She totally—" Ryuen tried to argue, but when he saw Nami and the others' faces darken again, he quickly shut his mouth.
"Sugar, don't go easy on him next time. If he deserves a beating, make sure you give him one, or else he'll start thinking he can do whatever he wants," Nojiko said coldly.
"Got it!" Sugar wiped away her tears and nodded seriously.
After dealing with that little incident, Nami opened a space portal to the mountain on Drum Island where Doctor Kureha and Chopper lived.
"Doctor Kureha, save me!"
The sudden arrival of Ryuen and the others scared Chopper so badly that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately hid behind a wall.
Seeing Chopper's awkward hiding position, Sugar couldn't help but point it out. "Uh... you're facing the wrong way..."
Hearing this, Chopper looked down at himself, then quickly scrambled into the wall properly before cautiously poking his head out again.
"Chopper, don't be scared! It's us!" Daisy called out.
Chopper was completely stunned when the person across from him greeted him.
"Oh, it's you guys! You really scared me just now..." After a few seconds of shock, Chopper finally recognized who was in front of him.
"Of course, it's us, Chopper. Where's Doctor Kureha?" Nojiko asked.
"She was taken away by that scary guy... She's in the king's castle now..." Chopper stepped forward, looking a little downcast.
Ryuen frowned. So that Celestial Dragon actually knew about Doctor Kureha.
"There's no time to waste, Nami. We can't wait any longer," Nojiko said seriously.
Nami nodded, then opened a portal. Just as she was about to step through, she seemed to remember something and turned back to Chopper, speaking gently. "Chopper, don't leave the mountain yet, okay? We'll bring Doctor Kureha back soon."
Hearing Nami's words, Chopper's face lit up with joy. "Okay! I'll wait for you guys right here!"
Nami nodded again, then looked at the others. "Let's go~"
With that, the five of them stepped into the portal. As Sugar entered, she glanced at Chopper with a puzzled expression.
The portal closed quickly.
Seeing the five of them disappear, Chopper relaxed a little. Even though he knew they weren't bad people, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
"That raccoon dog... Why can it talk?" Inside the alternate space, Sugar asked in confusion.
"If Chopper heard you call him a raccoon dog, he'd be furious again. He's actually a reindeer. He just ate a Human-Human Fruit by accident, and that's how he ended up ," Daisy explained with a laugh.
"Yeah, Daisy's right. Human-Human Fruit—Commoner Model," Ryuen added.
"Commoner Model? What does that mean?" Nojiko was confused. The other three also looked at Ryuen, puzzled.
"Well, most Human-Human Fruits are really powerful, like old man Sengoku's Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Model: Buddha. But Chopper's Human-Human Fruit... just lets him turn into a human. That's it," Ryuen explained.
"Oh... that actually makes sense..." Daisy suddenly realized.
"Alright, let's focus. Look at that Celestial Dragon—he's really taking his studies seriously," Nojiko said mockingly as she looked outside.
The others followed her gaze.
Outside the alternate space, a doctor in a white coat was performing surgery on a patient, with Doctor Kureha guiding him.
Several other doctors in white coats stood by, observing.
The one performing the surgery was their target—the Celestial Dragon, Ethanbaron V. Ishii Shiro.
He was a descendant of Ethanbaron V. Nasujuro!
"If you didn't see the madness in his eyes, you might actually think he was a decent person," Daisy said coldly.
"He's just good at pretending," Nojiko commented.
While the five of them talked, the surgery outside was already finished. The Celestial Dragon took off his mask and let out a deep breath. Then, to everyone's surprise, he bowed to Doctor Kureha and the other doctors, sincerely thanking them for their guidance.

The other doctors were thrilled. A Celestial Dragon thanking them? That was something they never imagined.
Only Doctor Kureha remained completely unfazed. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet
"So fake. Ugh, this is so disgusting, I feel like throwing up," Daisy muttered, unable to hold back her frustration as she looked at the deceitful Ishii Shiro.
"I'd call them the most hypocritical race," Nojiko said, trying to suppress her discomfort.
Meanwhile, Ryuen narrowed his eyes. He was already thinking about how to deal with this Celestial Dragon later. He had to make sure the man would *wish* he was dead.
After the surgery, the nurses wheeled the patient away, and the doctors invited Ishii Shiro to a banquet. He modestly declined at first.
But after their repeated invitations, he finally agreed.
Doctor Kureha, however, had no intention of attending. Ishii Shiro sincerely urged her to come, saying he wanted to properly thank her at the banquet.
In the darkness, an almost undetectable scent began to spread.
The Celestial Dragon and the doctors remained completely unaware.
Only Doctor Kureha noticed something was wrong—her expression changed, and she immediately covered her nose and mouth.
"What... What's going on...?"
"I feel a little dizzy..."
*Thud, thud, thud...*
In just a few seconds, everyone in the operating room except for Doctor Doriel collapsed to the floor.
Ryuen and his group stepped out from a different space.
The moment Doctor Doriel saw Daisy, she immediately understood.
