Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 132 The Will of Hiruluk!

In the snow-covered Kingdom of Dongdao, an elderly man with white hair was carrying a suitcase and walking through the village. He climbed through a window and entered a house, where the head of the household was lying sickly in bed.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately took out the medicine he had developed from his briefcase and, without saying a word, forced it into the patient's mouth. After drinking the medicine, the patient's face turned purple, then green, and finally, he jumped out of the door like a frog...

Upon seeing this, the man realized he had taken the wrong medicine and hurriedly scratched his head, apologizing, "Haha, sorry, I took the wrong one. That's the medicine I use to treat frogs." The next second, this quack doctor was chased out of the village by the villagers.

On his way home, the man kept reviewing the reasons for his failure, when he suddenly noticed someone lying in the snow. He went over and saw that the person was badly injured. As he was about to treat them, he accidentally dropped his gun. Upon seeing this, the man instantly went berserk and began to beat the man violently. The man then tried to run away in fear…

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, the man realized that the other person was the Snowman that the villagers often talked about. However, the man was not afraid. Instead, he stopped the other person and said, "Wait a minute! Who do you think I am? I am Dr. Hiruluk, a doctor. Don't worry, I will never shoot you, so let me treat you!" The Snowman turned around and saw that Hiruluk, in order to prove that he would not hurt the other person, took off his clothes and solemnly made a promise to him.

Upon seeing this, Yukio collapsed in shock. When he awoke, he found himself transformed into a baby reindeer, bandaged up, with bread and water beside him. Looking at the doctor Hiruluk who had been protecting him, he ate the bread and tears streamed down his face involuntarily...

When Hiluluk woke up, he was incredibly surprised to learn that the blue-nosed reindeer he had rescued could not only transform but also talk. Upon learning that the blue-nosed reindeer didn't have a name yet, Hiluluk simply called it "Tony Tony Chopper".

So Chopper finally got his own name and met people who wouldn't discriminate against him. After that, Chopper went to work as a doctor with Hiruluk. When the treatment failed and the guards tried to capture him, Hiruluk taught Chopper a lesson by kicking him away as bait.

After escaping, Chopper naturally had to fight Hiruluk. After the fight, Chopper felt inexplicably happy and said to Hiruluk, "Dr. Hiruluk, this is the first time I've ever fought anyone..."

Upon hearing this, Hiluluk immediately affirmed, "That's true. After all, you've been all alone before, so..." He tossed a hat to Chopper and continued, "Accepting this gift means we've made peace..."

Chopper put on the hat, his heart warmed once again by Hiruluk's words. Then Hiruluk continued, "Chopper, don't resent humans. This country is sick, the hearts of its people and the king are sick. But don't worry, once my research is complete, I can cure this country!"

Hiluluk continued, "Twenty years ago, there was a notorious thief who was diagnosed with heart disease. Just when all the doctors had given up on treating him, he became extremely depressed. However, when he passed by a mountain, he saw an unprecedentedly beautiful sight: cherry blossoms covering the entire mountain. After that, when he went to see a doctor again, he found that his disease had been miraculously cured."

Hiluluk became more and more excited as he spoke. He walked to his cherry blossom skull flag, patted it, and said in a powerful voice, "Therefore, there is no incurable disease in this world. No matter what others say, I will heal this country. As a doctor, I will use this skull to cure the country!"

Hiluluk's words were deeply etched in Chopper's heart. The two spent some time happily together afterward, until Chopper's wounds healed. Only then did Hiluluk harden his heart and forcibly drive Chopper away...

Despite being driven away, Chopper secretly followed Hiluluk and realized that Hiluluk had driven him away because he was seriously ill. In order to save Hiluluk, Chopper began to search for a mushroom with a skull symbol that he had seen in a book. Hiluluk had told him that skulls could save the country, so Chopper believed that the mushroom in the book could save Hiluluk's life...

So, after going through countless hardships and suffering numerous injuries, Chopper finally returned to Hiluluk with a mushroom named "Ami-Umura". Seeing how much Chopper cared for him, Hiluluk couldn't help but hug Chopper and apologize to him repeatedly.

After drinking the mushroom soup made by Chopper, Hiluluk immediately became "radiant." He then told Chopper to stay home while he went out for a while, promising to treat Chopper to a big meal when he returned. Chopper, upon hearing this, readily agreed that he would behave well...

However, after leaving, Hiluluk went to Kureha and pleaded with her, "Please, Kureha, Chopper... Chopper really has the potential to be a doctor, so please teach him well to become an excellent doctor after I leave. Please!" With that, he left and headed to the summit of Drum Mountain...

Sensing something was wrong, Kureha immediately went to Hiluluk's house and found Chopper. She then questioned him, "Where did Hiluluk go?!"

When confronted by Kureha, Chopper proudly pulled out an Ami-Ushi mushroom and declared, "Dr. Hiluluk has been cured after drinking this mushroom I found!"

Upon seeing the mushroom Chopper produced, Kureha angrily punched him to the ground, yelling, "Idiot! That mushroom is highly poisonous! Anyone who eats it won't survive more than half a day!"

Chopper immediately retorted, "Impossible! Dr. Hiruluk told me that this skull symbol can cure all diseases. Dr. Hiruluk wouldn't lie!"

However, Kureha exposed Hiruluk's lie, saying, "Fool, skulls are a sign of death!"

Chopper was completely bewildered upon hearing this, and immediately rushed out the door, following Hiluluk's scent...

Upon reaching the summit of Drum Mountain, Hiruluk discovered that King Wapol's claim of 20 seriously ill doctors was merely a trap to eliminate him and Kureha. Faced with Wapol's mockery, Hiruluk simply laughed and said, "Great, no one's sick. I'm relieved..."

Upon hearing Hiluluk's words, Captain Dalton was instantly and deeply shocked. Facing the soldiers who had pointed their guns at him, Hiluluk showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he took out the prepared liquor and explosives and continued to laugh loudly, saying, "When does a person die? Not when their heart is pierced, nor when they bleed to death, but when they are forgotten!"

After saying this, Hiruluk said to Chopper in his mind, "Don't worry, Chopper, your mushrooms won't kill me..." Then he drank the explosives and exploded to his death...

When Chopper arrived, all he saw was Hiruluk's hat after the bombing. Chopper immediately lost his temper and charged at Wapol, only to be stopped by Dalton. After being subdued by Dalton, the cold water Dalton poured on Chopper brought him back to his senses. Then, with tears in his eyes, Dalton said, "Let's not let this country suffer any more casualties..."

Chopper decided to leave first, and Dalton was demoted by Wapol and imprisoned until the Blackbeard Pirates attacked the area, and Wapol escaped before being released by the villagers...

After leaving Drum Mountain, Chopper found Kureha again, crying and waving the cherry blossom skull flag, pleading, "Dr. Kureha, please teach me medicine! I want to become a panacea that can cure any disease, please!"

-

The flashback ended, and Chopper looked at Goten, only to hear Goten angrily yell at Wapol, "You bastard, don't even think about destroying my comrade's important flag!"

Chopper was deeply moved upon hearing this. After so many years, someone was finally calling him a comrade again. At that moment, Luffy shouted, "That's right, Chopper! You're our comrade!"
