"Why can't you? The life of a pirate is really fun!" Luffy looks at him in shock.
"I don't think that's the point..." Usopp looks at him in disbelief.
Nami, Vivi, Anamaria and Sanji make it outside while Chopper keeps his head down and continues.
"...I only came down to thank you for all your help..."the four of them watched the exchange with the others when Chopper raises his head to show the sadness in his eyes "Please listen to me! I'm a reindeer! I have hooves, horns and a blue nose!" Vivi and Nami look at him softly as he continues with tears in his eyes "The truth is, I want to be a pirate, but I'm not human! I'm a monster! I can't be friends with humans! I only came here to thank you!" he starts calming down as he looks back to the castle that's been his home for a long time "Just to thank you for asking me. But, I plan to stay here and learn more. If you guys want to visit you're more than..."
"SHUT UP!" Chopper's eyes opened even wider when he sees Luffy raising his arms up "JOIN MY CREW!"
Chopper tears return to his eyes when he sees that he won't give up on him because he doesn't care about what he looks like, he still wants to be his friend. Everyone else softly smiles at him to show that they accept him as well as he yells back at Luffy.
"OK, I'LL JOIN YOU!"

Chopper ran back into the castle to say his goodbyes to Dr. Kureha while Vivi, and the Straw Hats waited outside in the snowy night for the newest pirate.
"How come we can't say goodbye to Dalton and the hag?" Luffy's says as he sat on his own giant snowball while talking to Nami. Nami quietly sighs as she looks at the castle.
"It's better if we let Chopper go by himself since this will be a very sad goodbye. Even though Dr. Kureha looks scary and mean, she's a kind person"
"She's completely awesome" Anamaria muttered as Sanji still stuck to her side, more out of want than necessity, not that she minded. Usopp finishes up his snowman before he turns to Nami.
"So we're leaving without saying a word?" he asks her.
"That's right; once Chopper comes back, we're heading to Alabasta" the navigator nods.
"I hope that's fine with you Vivi" She turns to Vivi with a smile.
"Of course, since we have a doctor on board, I have no problems with it" Vivi quickly nods with a reassuring smile. Luffy tilts his head at the comment.
"We have a doctor?" he comments, making Anamaria face palm since she was sure that he just thought Chopper looked cool. Usopp ignores the question as he heads to the lift station.
"Well, since we're leaving, I'll get the lift ready. Hey Luffy, would you give me a hand?"
"They have a lift too? Cool!" Luffy nods as he rolls towards him on the large snowball.
He follows Usopp into the lift station to get to work on getting the lift ready while everyone else continues to wait for the humanoid reindeer to come out. Which didn't take long because as soon as the lift was ready, they heard screaming from men, women, and reindeer alike followed by the sound of throwing knives.
Before anyone can investigate the chaos, they're astonished by the sight of Chopper running outside in his walk point while pulling a sleigh, with Dr. Kureha running after him and throwing weapons at him. Chopper continues to dodge the weapons, with no time to explain, as he runs towards his new friends.
"EVERYONE, GET ON THE SLED! WE'RE GOING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN!" no one needed to be told twice as they run to the sleigh, and jump on to join the crazy sled while the reindeer and the knife throwing elder in shock.
