Long Summary
Luffy asks Dr. Kureha to join the Straw Hats, however she rejects his offer. When Chopper makes an apparition inside Nami's bedroom, he is immediately hunted by Sanji and Luffy who want to cook him, however they are chased 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 in pirates, Nami asks him to join their crew, but Chopper declines, saying that he is a reindeer and cannot be involved with humans. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the two hunters, making Chopper flee. Doctorine then enters the room. She heard Nami and Chopper's discussion, and explains to Nami that she has no objection if Chopper goes with them. However, it will be difficult to convince him since he has 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 realize that the castle is full of snow due to the entrance which has been left open. When trying to close the door, Chopper prevents them from doing so by turning into his human form. Sanji and Luffy realize then the reason for the door being open, because a nest of baby birds is on the top of the door, as well as the fact that Chopper is not really a common reindeer.
