Long Summary
Luffy asks Dr. Kureha to join the Straw Hat, however she rejects his offer. When Chopper makes an apparition inside Nami'bedroom, he is immediatly hunted by Sanji and Luffy who want to cook him, however they are chased too by Doctorine who does not want to lose her assistant.

Able to get rid of his pursuers, Chopper returns to Nami's room to take care of her. When she saw that he is interested into pirates, Nami asks him to join their crew, but Chopper declines, saying that he is a reindeer and as such can not be involved with humans. Their talk is suddenly interrupted by the apparition of the 2 hunters, making Chopper flee. It is then Dr. Kureha turn to enter the room. She heard Nami and Chopper discussion, and explains Nami that she has no objection for Chopper to come with them. However, it will be difficult to convince him since he as always been alone, even more since he ate the Hito Hito no Mi, rejected by both humans and reindeers. Only one man was able to talk to him : Dr. Hiluluk.

During their hunt, Luffy and Sanji realise that the castle is full of snow due to the entrance which has been left opened. When trying to close the door, Chopper prevent them to do it by turning into his human form. Sanji and Luffy realise then the reason for the door being open... as well as the fact that Chopper is not really a common reindeer.
