Short Summary
While Vivi, Usopp, and Zoro recover from the avalanche, Nami wakes up in the Drum castle, where she found Dr. Kureha who cured her and a strange little reindeer...

Long Summary
After the avalanche, Vivi and Usopp are still alive but lost. In their way, they are accidently bumping into an almost naked Zoro who was doing some training. Finally arriving at a village, they realise they have come back to Big Horn. Here they learn that Dalton is still buried into the avalanche, but that the Wapol men prevent the villagers from searching. Concerning that they are enemies, Zoro beats up one of the guards, but that was just to retrieve some warm clothes...

Meanwhile at the castle, Nami is waking up. In her room is a walking talking strange animal who seems quite impressionable. When Dr. Kureha enters, she reveals that everyone is safe but that Nami narrowly escaped death. Would it have been 2 days more, she would have died from a disease named casha. Morevover, even if she feels better she still have to be treated during another 3 days. Nami finds that too long but Doctorine is not very comprehensive towards her patients.

Suddenly, Luffy and Sanji are entering the room pursuing Chopper in order to eat him. When asked about this strange animal, Doctorine reveals that it is a reindeer who accidently ate the Hito Hito no Mi, hence becoming a reindeer able to talk and transform himself into a human.
