00AI-written

The chapter title page shows the Straw Hat crew relaxing on a lush tropical island under giant palm trees on a perfect day. In the foreground, Usopp lounges on his back wearing goggles and a horned helmet, looking relaxed. Nami stands nearby with one hand on her hip, shading her eyes as she gazes into the distance. Zoro sits casually on a large bird-like creature, holding a drink and laughing. Small figures including Chopper climb on a massive telescope-like device and wooden structures in the background. The large One Piece logo and the words "On a perfect day" dominate the upper right, with the chapter title "CASTLE-DWELLING SNOW" at the top.

The colored version of the title page repeats the same relaxed scene on the tropical island. Usopp reclines in the foreground wearing goggles and a horned helmet. Nami stands with a hand raised to her forehead. Zoro sits drinking beside a large bird. Chopper and other small figures play on the oversized telescope and machinery built among the palm trees. The One Piece logo and "On a perfect day" appear prominently, with the chapter title "CASTLE-DWELLING SNOW" displayed at the top.

A single panel shows a short elderly woman with wild white hair, glasses, and a black outfit standing with a surprised expression. Large Japanese sound effect "がぼーん" appears above her head. She holds a hand near her face as a speech bubble reads: "IS IT JUST ME OR IS MY FACE SWOLLEN A BIT...I" A small question mark floats nearby.

Luffy appears in close-up, eyes wide and mouth open, shouting "PLEASE! JOIN MY CREW!" Inside a stone castle dining hall, Luffy leans across a table toward an older woman, pleading "COME ON, GRANNY!" Sanji sits nearby saying "YEAH." The woman replies, "SO YOUR NAME'S LUFFY..." In the next panel she suddenly kicks Luffy hard with both legs, sending him flying as she yells "WELL WATCH YOUR DAMN MOUTH, LUFFY!" Sanji reacts with shock: "DAMN, THAT'S ONE STRONG GRANNY..." The woman adds, "I'M STILL IN MY YOUNG AND HIP 130S!" while Luffy cries out "OOF!" amid impact sound effects.

Inside the stone castle, Luffy sits at a round table with Nami, who has her legs propped up. Luffy gestures excitedly and says, "JUST COME ADVENTURING WITH US, GRANNY!" Nami snaps back, "OH, THAT DOESN'T MATTER! WHAT A WASTE OF MY YOUTH. I'VE GOT NO INTEREST IN THE SEAS AT ALL. YOU WANT ME TO BE A PIRATEI DON'T BE RIDICULOUS!" In the background, Chopper peeks from a doorway. Suddenly Luffy and Chopper react with shock as Nami declares, "I LOVE PIRATES...!" Chopper panics, shouting "WAIT, REINDEER-MEAT!" and "GYAAAAA!" while flailing wildly. Luffy yells, "HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU BRATS!"

Nami clutches her head in pain as Luffy reacts in alarm. She shouts, "AGHHH! IT'S THAT OLD HAG AGAIN!" while Luffy yells, "AND SHE'S CARRYING KNIVES!" Chopper runs off in the distance. Nami then smiles confidently and says, "I'LL BE BACK IN A JIFFY WITH A DELICIOUS REINDEER STEAK!" and "REST EASY, NAMI!" Alone now, Nami sits by a window as large sound effects echo through the castle: "うぎゃあああ" and "ドドドドド." She thinks, "I'D RATHER HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET THAN REINDEER MEAT..." Later she lies in bed while someone says, "STAY PUT AND REST!" and "BRR, IT'S COLD." Nami notices, "IS THAT... SNOW INSIDE THE CASTLEI" as wind blows through the open doors.

Chopper, wearing his top hat, explains from behind a door, "THE DOCTRESS' MEDICINE IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE SO IT'S NATURAL FOR YOUR FEVER TO BE ALMOST GONE." Nami replies from bed, "NO I DON'T, IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL GONE NOW." Chopper insists, "YOU STILL HAVE A FEVER, YOU KNOW!" Nami asks, "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO NURSED ME BACK TO HEALTH, RIGHTI" Chopper answers, "THANKS." Nami smiles and says, "HMI" Chopper then bursts out, "I DON'T NEED TO HEAR ANY WORDS OF THANKS FROM A HUMAN!" while flailing and yelling, "S-SHUT UP!" and "DON'T MESS WITH ME, Y'HEAR!I" Nami watches him with a surprised expression.

Luffy and an unseen person run through the castle as Luffy shouts, "YOU'RE REALIZING THAT NOW!I" and "AHH! YOU'RE RIGHT, IT IS COLD!" Nami looks around and says, "OH... NOT ONLY IS IT FREEZING IN HERE, BUT THERE'S SNOW EVERYWHERE." She adds, "SOMETHING'S STRANGE ABOUT THIS CASTLE..." A massive splash panel reveals the castle's interior completely encased in thick ice and snow. Nami observes, "LOOK, THIS ENTIRE CASTLE'S COVERED WITH SNOW..." and "THE DOORS OF ALL THE UNUSED ROOMS ARE FROZEN OVER TOO!"

Luffy is struck hard, sent flying with a massive impact as someone yells, "Luffy, give up on trying to recruit her! She's clearly no doctor! She's just a deranged lunatic!" and "DIE, YOU TWERPS!" Luffy groans, "Aghh!" Inside the snowy castle, the short-haired girl stands by the bed while Chopper, wearing a black hat with a skull, pokes at scattered papers. She asks, "It's right on our ship's sail. D-does that mean you carry a flag with skull and crossbones...I" Chopper replies, "Yes, really." "R-really...!I" "Yup." "...S-so you're pirates...I" The girl snaps, "You idiot!" Chopper shouts, "No, of course not!" She then asks, "Are you interested in piratesI" Chopper answers, "Riiight, of course you're not. My bad."

Nami smiles warmly and asks Chopper, "Would you like to come along with usI" She continues, "To the seas, I mean! How about itI" Chopper reacts in shock, "What!I" He yells, "I'm a reindeer! How could I ever travel along with humans!I" Nami explains, "If we only had a doctor onboard, I wouldn't need to stay here for 3 more days, rightI We could leave right aw—" Chopper interrupts, "D-don't be stupid!" Nami adds, "It'd really help me out a lot."

Chopper, now in full reindeer form, asks from the upper floor, "Trying to scare me nowI Haha, I'm a reindeer but I talk and walk on two legs... A-aren't you scared of how I look...I Besides..." Nami looks up as Chopper panics. Suddenly a tall figure with a top hat lunges, shouting "Found you, reindeer!" and "Gya-aaa!" Chopper is sent flying with a massive crash, "Zugyaa!" and "Bam!!" The figure mutters, "And my nose is blue too..." Below, the tall figure taps a cane, saying "Fast little buggers, those two..." while Nami stares in surprise amid the wreckage. A sign reads "STOP!"

The tall long-haired woman with goggles confronts Nami, "Trying to abduct my reindeer while I'm gone, are you now...I And you're no better than your rowdy crewmates, missy..." Nami replies, "OhI" The woman laughs, "Well said! Take him away if you want! Hee hee hee hee hee!" She adds, "To practice her art of seductionI Since when does a lady need permission." Nami looks concerned as the woman continues, "His heart's still severely wounded... A wound not even a doctor can fix... But I'll have you know, it's going to take a lot more than a warm smile and an invitation."

Despite being a newborn baby, he was forced to tail his herd all alone at the back. All because of that blue nose of his! From the moment of his birth, he was abandoned by his parents who thought of him as repulsive. Even so, he still desired companions. He couldn't even call himself a reindeer anymore. He happened to eat a Devil Fruit, which singled him out even more as an abomination. His fellow reindeer soon chased him away for good. That's awful. A fact made only too clear by his blue nose. However, his humanoid form wasn't quite human either. So he then tried to find acceptance among humans in a nearby town. The long-haired man and the woman continue recounting the tragic tale as the small reindeer wanders alone through the snowy settlement, marked by question marks and rejection.

The townspeople panic at the sight of the strange snowman-like figure. "Go away, you monster!" "Bring the guns! Hurry! Shoot him!" "That must be an abominable snowman!" "Whatever it is, it's giving me the creeps! Get the children safely back to their homes!" "What in God's name is that...I" Neither a reindeer nor human, all he wanted were friends to live among, yet for that he was called a monster. He's had to endure a life of loneliness since then. Clueless as to what he did wrong, and confused as to what he could blame, the reindeer stands rejected. The short-haired woman listens quietly while the long-haired man asks, "Possibly hope to fix that scar of his heart...I Can you pirates,"

Inside the freezing castle, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji react to the cold wind. "Otherwise, there's no difference being outside or inside." "Let's go close it." "No wonder it's freezing in here." "The main door's been left open!" "Look, Luffy!" "So this is why there were gusts of wind coming to our rooms..." Chopper suddenly appears and yells, "Don't touch that door!" "Stop!" "I told you to stop!" A large impact SFX erupts as Chopper blocks the way with an angry glare. Usopp shivers and complains, "I'm freezing my nips off in here!" "Yeah, you said it..."

Chopper bursts forward in rage, arms raised with massive impact effects, shouting "Are you two deaf!I" The door slams violently with loud SFX. Luffy turns with a confused "HmI" while Usopp and Sanji react in surprise. "Hey, Luffy... W-whoa, what're you getting all angry forI" Chopper glares fiercely from under his hat, "Come look at this." The group stands in the snowy castle corridor as tension rises.

Snow falls heavily over the ruined castle walls as a massive bird's nest bursts from the snowdrift. Tiny birds chirp loudly while a voice exclaims, "IT'S A SNOWBIRD'S NEST..." A man in a top hat and coat walks away with his back turned, muttering "くろっ... ス々..." as debris and snow scatter. Luffy stares in shock, sweat flying, while Sanji smokes nearby. "SO THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T CLOSE THE DOOR..." Luffy yells. Sanji replies calmly, "IT'D FALL DOWN IF THE DOOR CLOSED..." Chopper, in his small reindeer form wearing the top hat, walks off leaving footprints as more snow drifts down.

Luffy and Sanji sprint through the snowy ruins as massive snow bursts erupt around them. "BRRR, IT'S COLD!" Luffy shouts. A huge impact shakes the ground with "ゴーン!!!" Luffy's eyes bulge in terror: "IT'S A MONSTER!" Sanji narrows his eyes while Luffy panics, "AH! AND WAS HE WALKING ON TWO LEGS...I WAIT A SEC... DID THAT REINDEER TALK JUST NOW!I" Chopper stands in the snow, thinking "CAN BE SMALL... OR GROW BIG INTO A MONSTER..." as he transforms, his body expanding and becoming fluffy. "W-WHAT THE HECK IS HEI HE'S FLUFFY... WALKS ON TWO LEGS... LOOKS LIKE A REINDEER..." nearby voices react in confusion.

Luffy's face fills the panel, eyes sparkling with excitement. "SANJI! LET'S GET HIM TO JOIN OUR CREW! THAT'S SO COOL!" he yells with a huge grin as impact lines burst around him. In a flashback panel a long-haired man sits with a child: "THERE WAS ONE PERSON WHO HE OPENED UP HIS WOUNDED HEART TO... BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO..." The man replies "HMI" and adds, "THERE WAS ONE, HOWEVER..." Chopper, now in a larger fluffy form wearing his hat, screams "GYA-AAA-AAA!" while waving his arms wildly. Luffy and Sanji stand behind him shouting, "WAIT RIGHT THERE, MONSTER! JOIN OUR CREW!"

Chopper climbs a snowy tower wall, calling "CLIMB FASTER, ROBSON!" while laughing "MAHA-HAHA-HA!" Snow swirls around the castle spire. Suddenly his nose twitches: "THIS SCENT... IT'S WAPOL!" Wapol's massive face looms with a furious glare, roaring "THOSE SCUM DARE THINK THEY CAN DEFY ME!I" Chopper sweats in shock, sniffing repeatedly. A close-up shows a long-nosed woman with a serious expression: "HE WAS A QUACK DOCTOR WHO NOT ONLY GAVE CHOPPER HIS NAME BUT ALSO CALLED HIM HIS SON... THAT PERSON WAS DR. HILULUK, A MAN WHO ONCE LIVED HERE IN DRUM KINGDOM..."

A girl with short hair, wearing overalls and a cigarette in her mouth, winks and raises her finger in the Question Corner (質問コーナー) as the SBS logo appears overhead. The exchange begins with a reader declaring, "HEY! MONKEY D. LUFFY! I'M THE ONE WHO'S GONNA BE THE PIRATE KING! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, PIRATE KINGI!" The responder answers, "ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, LET'S ALL BE A PIRATE KING! HEY, WAIT!! OKAY, NEXT." Next question: "I AM JIM JOEL SATO! AND I HAVE A QUESTION. IF I EAT LUFFY, CAN I BECOME A RUBBERMANI!" The reply comes, "YOU'D GET FOOD POISONING." Another fan offers a catchphrase: "FRIEND AND ENEMIES, THEY'RE ALL WEIRDOS." The answer counters, "READERS AND AUTHOR, THEY'RE ALL WEIRDOS." WAIT, NO, THE AUTHOR IS NORMAL!" A longer query follows about Oda-sensei making birthdays too convenient in volume 15 and asking for Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's parents, met with the response, "AHHH... DID I REALLY TAKE THE EASY WAY OUTI I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT... I JUST MADE THEM UP AS JOKES, BASED ON THEIR PERSONALITIES. YOU REALLY CAN'T CHOOSE A BIRTHDAY OVER SUCH TRIVIAL REASONING... I'LL REFLECT ON MY THOUGHTLESSNESS..." The final question asks, "WHAT ARE VIVI-CHAN AND CHOPPER'S BIRTHDAYSI ARE THEY FEBRUARY 2ND FOR VIVI AND DECEMBER 24TH FOR CHOPPERI" The enthusiastic reply confirms, "YES, PERFECT! BWAHAHAHA, I LOVE IT!! THOSE ARE VIVI AND CHOPPER'S BIRTHDAYS! ANY COMPLAINTSI! I'M NOT LISTENING!!!! AAHAHAHA!!"
