Chopper had never tasted snow that burst like candy on his tongue.
Dr. Hiriluk's cherry blossoms taste like spring. He told Chopper about spring islands, places where orange fruits grew so big they looked like suns on trees!
Chopper will become an incredible pirate who finds suns on trees! He will find cures for diseases in people's hearts!
If snow can become cherry blossoms, then a monster can become a pirate. Luffy says so.
The pink snow urges him to try.
Trying tastes sweet. It tastes like salt and tears.
The sky is wide and pink and bursting with hope.
