Hiruluk

Seiyu: Shigeru Ushiyama

Hiruluk (ヒルルク Hiruruku; from German chirurg for “surgeon”; Hiriluk in the English anime) was a quack doctor from Drum Island and Tony Tony Chopper's father figure. After Wapol declared any doctor not under his rule to be outlaws, he and Dr. Kureha were the only free doctors left. However, unlike Kureha, Hiruluk ended up doing more damage than good to his patients by accident.

In his early days, Hiruluk was a thief who was diagnosed with a fatal illness. What he believed cured him was the serene vision of a grove of cherry trees. After being cured he came to believe that there is no diease in the world that cannot be cured. He returned to Drum Island, the island he was born on to help cure a dire sickness. Hiruluk's main dream was to cure the people of island of their frozen hearts which had formed because of Wapol's selfishness. He never lived to see his dream come true, which was made a reality years later. Kureha and the people of Drum would use Hiruluk's final invention, a special chemical to turn snow pink, creating the illusion of cherry blossoms blooming in the snow.

Like many One Piece characters, Hiruluk has a distinct laugh, which sounds like "Eh eh eh eh eh!"
