## One Piece Chapter 142, pages 15-17: SKULL AND CHERRY BLOSSOM - Chapter: 142 - Pages: 15-17 - Characters: Hiriluk, Tony Tony Chopper ### Summary Page 15: A montage shows Hiriluk and Chopper spending time together over the seasons. Chopper, in his Heavy Point form, chops wood while Hiriluk cheers him on. Chopper, in Walk Point, carries Hiriluk on his back as they run through a town, escaping from guards. Back in the lab, they both stare intently at a bubbling flask. In another scene, Chopper sleeps peacefully while Hiriluk writes at his desk. Chopper carries Hiriluk through a snowy blizzard. Chopper, in Brain Point, carefully observes a glowing flask. Finally, Hiriluk and Chopper are shown laughing joyfully together in the snow. Page 16: A sign reads "ONE YEAR LATER". Inside the lab, Hiriluk stands by his equipment and says, "AFTER A FULL YEAR OF TREATMENT, I NOW DECLARE YOU'RE IN PERFECT HEALTH! CONGRATULATIONS, CHOPPER." Chopper smiles, "THANKS, DOC." Hiriluk turns his back to Chopper and says coldly, "TAKE CARE THEN..." Chopper is confused, "HUH?" Hiriluk continues without looking at him, "YOU'VE BEEN FULLY TREATED, HAVEN'T YOU!? SO I'VE GOT NO OBLIGATIONS TO KEEP LOOKING AFTER YOU ANYMORE. NOW GO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER YOU WANT. JUST GET OUT OF MY LAB, I'VE GOT WORK TO DO." Chopper stares in shock. Page 17: Outside in the freezing snow, Chopper cries and begs at the door. "DOCTOOOOORRR! I PROMISE I WON'T EVER BE A BOTHER SO PLEASE LET ME IN! I PROMISE I'LL MASSAGE YOUR SHOULDERS EVERYDAY, POUR YOU TEA, AND EVEN DO THE CLEANING! SO PLEASE! PLEASE LET ME BACK IN! I'VE GOT NO FRIENDS AND NO PLACE TO GO! PLEASE, DOCTOR!" Inside, Hiriluk leans against the door, looking pained and sweating. Suddenly, Chopper breaks through the door with a loud "CRASH!" Hiriluk is startled, "!?" Chopper stands in the doorway, pointing to a fake bandage on his head, and says desperately, "LOOK! I'M INJURED!"
