The title page displays the chapter heading CHAPTER 144 “SNOW STORY”. In the foreground, Nami stands on the right wearing an ornate headscarf and jeweled outfit, smiling while touching her cheek. To her left, Vivi stands in profile wearing a matching decorative cloak and top, looking toward the background. Behind them rise ancient stone ruins with carved pillars, staircases, and a large central tower under a bright sky with birds flying overhead.

A colored variant of the title illustration shows Nami in the foreground wearing a green-and-pink headscarf and multicolored jeweled top, smiling with her hand near her face. Vivi stands beside her in profile, now with blue hair, wearing a purple-and-gold cloak. The background features the same ancient ruins, a pink-blossomed tree, and a bright sunlit sky with birds.

Chopper leans in close and asks, "DOES THE AMILIDAKE SOUP TASTE GOODI" The doctor replies, "WELLI" Chopper continues nervously, "EH EH EH EH... DON'T WORRY, GOOD MEDICINE IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE BAD. THAT'S JUST PROOF OF THEIR EFFICACY." The doctor suddenly reacts with shock, shouting "WHAAAAAAAAAAT!" and "YUUUCK! IT'S HORRIBLE!" while flailing. In the next panel Chopper smiles and says, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHOPPER!" The doctor grins widely and exclaims, "WHY, I CAN ALREADY FEEL ENERGY SURGING THROUGH MY WHOLE BODY!"

The doctor screams "AHHHHH!" with wide eyes as black spots appear. Chopper reacts with "AH-" and "HMI" while a voice asks, "DOC, WHAT'S THATI" Chopper notes, "THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN IT DO THAT." The doctor excitedly declares, "I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 30 YEARS FOR THIS...!" and "THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE REACTION I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!" Chopper watches in amazement. In the final splash the doctor shouts triumphantly, "I CAN BRING THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS TO THIS WINTER ISLAND NOW! I DID IT, CHOPPER! MY RESEARCH IS COMPLETE!" as massive snow-covered structures erupt with blossoms and energy lines.

Bandaged Chopper faces Kureha in the doorway. "YOU'RE IN FAR MORE CRITICAL CONDITION THAN I AM, WHAT WITH ALL THOSE WOUNDS OF YOURS!" Kureha replies, "NOW STAY PUT WHILE I GO OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT," and commands the door, "OPEN." Chopper answers, "ALRIGHT..." Kureha steps out into the snow as Chopper is struck from behind. "HEY, CHOPPER!" someone yells. Kureha walks away smiling, "DOC WAS REAL HAPPY... I ACTUALLY CURED SOMEBODY! THEN I'LL BE OFF!" In a large close-up, Chopper grins widely and declares, "I GUARANTEE IT!" Kureha looks back and says, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL DOCTOR!"

Kureha walks through the snowy forest at night, her cape billowing. Inside a room, laughter echoes as a patient lies in bed. Kureha stands outside a building and speaks into a Den Den Mushi, "THIS COUNTRY'S IN A REAL CRISIS RIGHT NOW." She continues, "DID YOU HEAR, KUREHAI" A close-up shows an angry man with wild hair and a mustache replying, "RIDICULOUS... JUST BETTER TO LEAVE THINGS BE. IT'LL SOLVE ITSELF SOONER OR LATER." Kureha, wearing goggles, answers, "YEAH, I HEARD. THE MD-20S HAVE APPARENTLY ALL COLLAPSED FROM SOME ILLNESS."

Inside a grand room lined with bookshelves, Hiriluk stands facing Kureha. "ACTUALLY, I HAVE A REQUEST," he begins. Kureha cuts him off, "I REFUSE." She adds, "AND YOU STILL HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT TO LIVE... COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO SAY A WORD OF THANKS, RIGHTI SO WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR TODAYI" Hiriluk opens a small pouch, releasing a puff of powder. "IS THIS DIRT OR SOMETHINGI THE HELLI" he mutters. Kureha questions, "WELL NONE OF YOUR REQUESTS EVER PAY OUT FOR ME. I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD YOU WHAT IT IS!" Hiriluk spreads his arms dramatically and declares, "IS THE RESULT OF OVER 30 YEARS OF MY MEDICAL RESEARCH! IT'S THE PANACEA THAT WILL CURE EVEN THE SICK HEART OF THIS COUNTRY! THAT, MY DEAR KUREHA,"

Hiriluk continues outside in the snowy forest, "SO I WANT YOU TO MAKE THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS BLOOM IN MY STEAD." Kureha responds, "I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT DUST NOR ANY TIME LEFT." Hiriluk hands her the pouch. "THAT'S QUITE THE POINTLESS 30 YEARS YOU'VE LIVED, SO... WHY'RE YOU GIVING ME THISI" she asks. "I SEE... CONGRATULATIONS THEN," she adds. Hiriluk shouts, "I WANT YOU TO TEACH CHOPPER MEDICINE! HE WANTS TO BECOME A DOCTOR!" Kureha turns away, "AND ONE MORE THING! WHAT!I WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO SUCH A RIDICULOUS TH-"

Inside the castle library, Kureha stands over the fallen reindeer Chopper with her back turned, arms crossed. She speaks firmly: "HE MAY BE A NAIVE REINDEER, BUT I KNOW HE CAN BECOME A GREAT DOCTOR ONE DAY!" Chopper lies sprawled on the wooden floor, tears and impact lines around him as the large SFX "がばっ!!" erupts. Kureha continues, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! DO YOU THINK YOU'RE IN ANY POSITION TO DEMAND THINGS FROM MEI" In a dramatic close-up, Kureha looms above Chopper, who looks up desperately. She recounts, "HE EVEN RISKED HIS LIFE TO MAKE ME SOME MEDICINE...! SO PLEASE, TEACH HIM HOW TO BECOME A DOCTOR! HE'S A GOOD-NATURED KID...!" Her expression hardens as she snaps, "YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO THINK I'D TAKE PITY ON YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! YOU'VE TESTED MY PATIENCE FOR FAR TOO LONG! DEMANDING ME TO CONTINUE YOUR RIDICULOUS RESEARCH AND LOOK AFTER YOUR WEIRD PET!I"

Kureha's face softens slightly as she says, "I'LL BE COUNTING ON YOU THEN..." Chopper, now outside in the snowy forest, replies quietly, "I DO KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE HOW YOU'LL ACT... YES..." Kureha shouts from the doorway, "NOW GET OUT!" with a loud "バンッ...!!" as the door slams. Chopper walks away sadly through the snow, the narration box reading "OF CHOPPER..." A small panel shows him trudging past a tree marked with a cross. Townspeople gather in the snowy village square, yelling angrily: "YELLING AT US WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! DOCTORS ARE HUMAN TOO, IT'S NOT STRANGE FOR THEM TO FALL SICK." "AT LEAST GIVE US SOME MEDICINE!" "JUST WHO'S GOING TO LOOK AFTER THE SICK AND INJURED THEN!I" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ENTIRE MD-20 HAS COLLAPSED! THEY'RE THE ONLY DOCTORS IN THIS ENTIRE KINGDOM!" Dalton stands among the crowd near a "ROPE-WAY 14" sign.

In the snowy mountains, desperate villagers shout toward the distant castle: "PLEASE! MY CHILD HAS A HIGH FEVER!" "MINE FELL OFF A CLIFF! HE NEEDS URGENT TREATMENT!" "I'VE WAITED OVER A WEEK FOR A DOCTOR!" "THE MD-20 WERE SCHEDULED TO COME TO MY HOUSE TODAY!" "GIVE US MEDICINE!" Inside a room, a cloaked figure holds a sack while speaking with Hiriluk, who reclines on a couch. The figure says, "THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU AT ALL..." Hiriluk replies, "EVEN WITH THE TWO WEEKS YOU STILL HAVE LEFT...I" The figure continues, "ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN'T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, YOU GIVE UP AND ASK ME INSTEAD...I" Hiriluk answers, "AFTER ALL THAT TALK ABOUT SAVING THIS COUNTRY." Outside, angry crowds demand, "DO THEY PLAN TO JUST ABANDON ALL THEIR PATIENTS!I" "SEND OUT THE MD-20!" with large impact SFX "オオオオオ" echoing.

Kureha's face fills the panel in shock, eyes wide as she thinks, "THAT IDIOT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE THINKING OF...!" She exclaims, "DID YOU HEAR, KUREHAI THIS COUNTRY'S IN A REAL CRISIS RIGHT NOW. DON'T TELL ME... -NOR ANY TIME LEFT...!" Hiriluk bursts out of the castle carrying a black bag marked with a skull and crossbones, yelling "AS IF I'D LET YOU!" while swinging a massive club. Townspeople panic: "IT'S DR. HILULUK! ARREST HIM!" "HE'S CARRYING BOMBS! RUN FOR IT!" "DR. HILULUK!I" "MOVE IT, YOU LOT!" Explosions and smoke fill the air with large SFX "ドッドッドッドッ" and "ビビビビビ" as Hiriluk charges forward through the snowy streets, the crowd scattering in fear.

An enraged old man with a thick beard and striped hat brandishes a rifle, yelling "I SAID TAKE ME UP TO THE CASTLE!" as he fires. "WHAT!I" "GET THIS ROPEWAY UP TO THE CASTLE!" "THAT QUACK IS OUT OF CONTROL!" "TAKE THIS!" Gunshots ring out with "ガチャ!!" and "ボカーン". Below, Tony Tony Chopper in his black X-marked hat stands over a fallen figure on the snowy ground, reassuring "NO NEED TO HIDE, I AIN'T GONNA EAT YOU." while the figure gasps "OH NO!" "AH-" amid impact sounds "バン!!" and "バババ". Chopper looks around anxiously, asking "WHERE'S HILULUK!I" In the next panel the long-haired man with goggles sweats and mutters "HE'S ALL RECOVERED FROM HIS ILLNESS SO MAYBE HE'S IN THE TOWN..." while Chopper trembles, "T-THE DOC SAID HE'D BE OUT FOR A BIT..." The goggled man demands "JUST TELL ME WHERE HILULUK IS RIGHT NOW!" and "AND I ALREADY KNOW WHO YOU ARE."

Hiriluk's face lights up with realization, "THE AMIUDAKE MUSH-ROOM!I" as he asks "IS THAT..." He continues, "IT'S INCURABLE WITH THE MEDICINE AVAILABLE TODAY. DIDN'T YOU HEAR IT YOURSELF TOO WHILE EAVESDROPPING AT MY PLACEI" "RECOVEREDI THAT AIN'T NO ILLNESS YOU CAN 'RECOVER' FROM." Chopper grins hopefully, "HE CAN LIVE AND TEACH ME HOW TO BECOME A DOCTOR!" "IT'S THE INGREDIENT FOR A PANACEA SO HE'S ALL BETTER NOW!" Hiriluk's eyes widen in shock, whispering "HILULUK..." A flashback shows the doctor explaining "DOC SAID HE GOT BETTER AFTER DRINKING THE SOUP MADE FROM THIS!" while the patient protests "B-BUT!" The scene shifts to the snowy ropeway car racing toward the castle. The old man shouts "I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME LEFT!" "HURRY IT UP!" "CAN'T THIS THING GO UP ANY FASTER!I" and "I'M FIGHTING FOR EVERY LAST MINUTE AND SECOND HERE! SO MOVE IT!"

Hiriluk swings a massive black mallet down with furious force, striking Chopper amid explosive impact lines and "キシャ!!" "バキ!!" "バキ!!" Chopper yelps in pain with "!I" "!!I" and "WHA...!I" while Hiriluk roars "YOU STUPID REINDEER!" Hiriluk's face twists in rage as he accuses, "THAT MUSH-ROOM YOU FED HIM..." "WAS A POISON MUSH-ROOM!"

Chopper stares at a bookshelf labeled "Botanique" and "AMIUDAKE", reading "IT'S A MUSHROOM THAT CAN HEAL EVERYTHING!" He flips through a book, exclaiming "I EVEN LOOKED IT UP IN A BOOK." "THAT CAN'T BE..." A skull-marked entry warns "EATING ONE WILL KILL YOU WITHIN AN HOUR." Chopper sweats in horror with "!I" Hiriluk raises a black flag bearing a white skull and crossbones, declaring "WITH THIS FLAG, I SHALL FIGHT ON LIKE A TRUE PIRATE!" "THAT'S RIGHT! THIS SKULL HERE LAUGHS AT THE IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S A SYMBOL OF UNWAVERING CONVICTION!" Chopper holds up the same flag beside an open book page showing the Amiudake mushroom with a skull symbol, shouting "THE PICTURE FOR THIS MUSH-ROOM HAS A SKULL NEXT TO IT!" "SEE LOOK!"

The bandaged man with goggles reflects quietly, "THAT WAS JUST HIM APPRECIATING YOUR EFFORTS..." A voice adds, "HE'S A GOOD-NATURED KID." Another figure snaps back, "SO THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD DIE, YOU LIAR!" The goggled man insists, "DOC EVEN SAID HE'S ALL BETTER NOW!" He continues explaining, "BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND... SKULL AND CROSS-BONES ARE A SYMBOL FOR POISON!" In the snowy street, the cloaked doctor kneels and states firmly, "LISTEN TO ME, THERE'S NO MAGICAL PANACEA THAT CAN CURE EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD." A small figure replies, "I'M NOT LYING..." The doctor answers, "THAT'S PRECISELY WHY WE NEED DOCTORS!" A close-up shows the goggled man's intense face as he declares, "WITHOUT IT, YOU CAN'T SAVE A SINGLE PERSON! KINDNESS ALONE CAN'T SAVE PEOPLE! YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE AND MEDICAL SKILL TO GO ALONG WITH IT!"

Hiriluk stares in shock with tears streaming, "DID YOU... PICK IT FOR MY SAKE...I" The small reindeer stands silently in the snow. Hiriluk's face twists in anguish as he shouts, "YOU FOOLISH LITTLE REINDEER..." He breaks down completely, sobbing with massive tears and the huge onomatopoeia "WA AA AA AH HH H!" filling the panel while snow falls around the empty street and distant buildings.

Onlookers watch the ropeway as voices comment, "NOW THEN, WE'LL START TAKING THE USUAL MD-20 REQUESTS." "WHAT A BRAINLESS IDIOT HE IS..." "YES, JUST AS HIS MAJESTY PLANNED, HILULUK HAS TAKEN THE ROPEWAY UP TO THE CASTLE." "A TRAP!I" One man yells, "THAT'S RIGHT! HE AT LEAST HEADED UP TO THE CASTLE WITH THE PURE INTENTION OF HELPING THE MD-20!" Another adds, "WAIT, ISN'T THAT JUST A LITTLE TOO CRUEL...I" A figure in a top hat declares, "YOUR MAJESTY! HILULUK IS COMING UP TO THE CASTLE AS I SPEAK!" Hiriluk's voice echoes, "EVEN IN MY LAST MOMENTS, I HAVE TO DO ALL I CAN TO SAVE THE SICK AND SUFFERING!" Wapol's men laugh, "MAHAHAHA! HE ACTUALLY FELL FOR IT! WHAT A DUMB HIPPO HE IS!" and "HE'S ALREADY DECIDED ON THE CASTLE AS HIS GRAVE."

A silhouette in a top hat approaches through the snow as someone shouts, "IT'S DR. HILULUK!" "HE'S HERE!" A stern man sweats, "WHY!I WHAT ON EARTH WOULD CAUSE HIM TO DO SUCH A THING...!I HE ACTUALLY CAME...I IS HE INSANE!I" Hiriluk charges forward with arms spread, roaring "UOO-OOH-HHH!" while impact lines and smoke burst around him. A guard yells, "STOP RIGHT THERE! WHAT'RE YOU PLANNING TO DO!I" Hiriluk stands tall in his top hat and coat marked with crosses, declaring, "I'VE COME TO CURE THE MD-20! GUIDE ME TO WHERE THE SICK ARE!"

Usopp stands proudly at the top of the page in his striped outfit, waving a paintbrush and shouting with excitement. "USOPP GALLERY PIRAAAA-AAAAATES, HOY!! ♪" he declares on the left, while on the right he continues, "AHOY HOYYY HOYYYYY! ♪". Below him spreads a collection of fan-submitted drawings and character sketches labeled with Japanese prefecture names. One panel shows a hanging rabbit-like figure with the note "What is this!I". Another features a model-style Nami in a checkered outfit marked "model Nami". A dramatic portrait of a long-nosed man with a massive beard and a gun appears on the right, captioned with prefecture text and "Too cool!!". Additional panels include a sword-wielding figure with "New" kanji, a serious man in a fur-collared coat, and smaller scenes of various characters reacting with lines like "Omaegaa—!!" and "Uooohhh". The bottom of the page displays the large "ONE PIECE" logo and page number 168.
