Scholar of Strawhat Pirates

After Douglas confronted and killed the Blackbeard Pirates, he left the bloodied mess in the village. When the citizens were attacked, they all hid, and when they noticed that there's no noise was heard outside, they all came out. They started looking around, and what they found is a bloodied mess, with the Blackbeard Pirates crew's lower half, from Burgees, to Van Augur, all of their lower half was the only thing that remained, the only one that did not have a lower half is Blackbeard, as his head was stored taken away by Douglas and his body merged to him.

When the villagers saw this, instead of being horrified, the villagers felt relief, as they would not have to suffer from the pirates that attacked them, thanking the stranger that saved them, the only thing that they saw is his mask, a plague like mask, with a coat of feathers, but except for that, there's nothing else to it.

"Dalton, there are civilians that got hurt from the attack of the pirates before our saviour came, we need immediate medical attention," a soldier said towards Dalton, the head of the royal guards, as he was the one who was treated as a King after their majesty left.

"I'll contact the remaining doctor alive here to ask for help, you two, inform the other soldiers and gather everyone that is hurt into a single room," Dalton said, as he immediately walked, he knew where Kureha was hiding, but did not told his King, a fact that if known, could potentially end his life, but he did it due to his admiration towards the doctor that did not hesitate to walk into a trap for a chance that the rumors that his supposed King spread was true.

Meanwhile, Douglas, who left the village, went towards the castle of the Wapol, as he knew that there was no one in here, based on his Observation Haki; no presence was felt within the castle walls. As Douglas was about to go inside, his Observation Haki was triggered, as there was a creature that was seen coming from his back, as it was attempting to come inside the castle, it was Robson, a White Walkie, the mount of Wapol that he left behind, Robson's reaction towards Douglas was a bit funny, as it first panic a little, but when he saw that Douglas was not attacking him, Robson relaxed a little bit.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you come with your master?" Douglas asked as he started petting Robson, but Douglas just felt Robson become sad, and feeling a little betrayed as he was left behind, understanding it, Douglas comforted the White Hippo.

"Ahhh, life's hard on you, huh? Why not come with me? I'll take care of you from now on" Douglas said, as he invited Robson to live with Kureha, Robson thought for a moment, and decided to accept Douglas' invitation, this made Douglas smile, as he climbed it's back and decided to not loot the castle anymore as Kureha and Chopper would be living in the castle in a little bit of time anyway,

"Hmmm, since you're my friend now, how about I rename you?" Douglas announced that he wanted to give Robson another name, something that Robson gladly accepted, as he wanted to forget his previous owner anymore, now that he had become Douglas' pet. Douglas then tried a lot of names for Robson, but everything that he suggested was rejected by Robson.

"Ahhhh, you are so picky, how about I just call you Mudang?" Douglas said, as he randomly threw the name of a viral baby hippo in his past life before he got transported here, but the name Mudang stuck with Robson, and he gracefully accepted it, as it sounded like a lot of happy noises towards Douglas.

"Hah? Do you like that?" Douglas asked, and Robson nodded, while showing a smile.

"It's decided then, you are now called Mudang, now come Mudang, I'll introduce you to Doctor and Chopper, I'm sure you will like them," Douglas said, as Mudang made a happy noise and started walking down the snowy mountain, as they are going down, they also encountered a Hiking bear, as Douglas bow down, and taught Mudang to bow too, which is replicated by the Hiking Bear.

When Douglas arrived at the cabin, he then felt another presence besides Kureha and Chopper, as it indicated that they had another visitor once again. He immediately took off his mask and coat as he entered 

"Doctor, Chopper, I'm home," Douglas announced loudly, which made Chopper happy and immediately run towards him.

"Douglas, Douglas, you won't believe soldier-san just told us, there's a hero in here, I've always wanted to see a hero," Chopper said with excitement, not minding a human in the cabin, as he became used to humans thanks to Douglas and Kureha's company, he was also brought to the village by Kureha when someone needed medical attention.

"Hero? Aren't you a hero?" Douglas said, as he looked at Chopper, he made a cape for Chopper that was similar to the one that he wore on Torino Island when he came back to train for two years. Chopper was incredibly cute, being Douglas's only weakness.

"Ahhhh," Chopper shouted, shocked by the words of Douglas. Suddenly, he started doing his signature moves when he was embarrassed.

"Idiot, I'm not going to be happy even if you praise me," Chopper said, but his tone was incredibly contradictory, betraying his words with his face showing an extremely cute look.

"Ahhhhh, you're so cute, Chopper," Douglas then shouted, as he picked up Chopper and started pinching Chopper's cheeks, something that made Chopper angry.

"Don't treat me as a kid," Chopper protested, but Douglas was still pinching his cheeks. Their interaction was seen by Dalton, with a look of amazement, as Douglas and Chopper's reaction is similar to a doting older brother and a younger brother.

Douglas and Chopper then went outside, as Kureha became angry due to the noise they were making. Outside, Mudang was quietly waiting for Douglas to come out, as he was looking at the snow that was pouring.

"Ahhhh, a predator," Chopper, who was surprised, shouted immediately, as Mudang is from a strong species in Drum Island, being used to hunting different kinds of animals.

"Ahhh, don't worry, this is our newest friend. Chopper, meet Mudang, Mudang, meet Chopper," Douglas said towards Chopper as he introduced Mudang to Chopper. With Douglas' assurance, Chopper stopped panicking as he started talking with Mudang. With Chopper being able to talk and understand animals, they immediately hit it off.

Suddenly, Kureha came out, as she looked at Douglas with a knowing expression, as Dalton described what happened with great detail, and everything that Dalton just described screamed all about Douglas, but Kureha decided to not reveal anything, as it was not her business, now, she was just concerned on the patients as she was hired by Dalton to heal the injured villagers, with Dalton taking the payment from the left funds from the castle.

"Chopper, come on, we have a duty, Douglas, just stay here and rest, also watch the house, we'll be back immediately," Kureha then said his orders, as Kureha put the sleigh towards the back of Chopper, with her and Dalton boarding it, the three then went on to go towards the village, leaving Douglas alone.

-----------------------

When Douglas was alone, he then checked if he could still assemble the things that he disassembled earlier, then he concentrated, as he then felt that he could still, making him decide to merge Mudang with Stronger's body and also Laffitte, as Laffitte had a Devil Fruit that gave him wings, Douglas then concentrated, as he touched Mudang,

"It'll be over in a second," Douglas said towards Mudang, as he started reassembling the entire body composition of Mudang. Suddenly, Mudang's legs became longer, as they resembled more of a horse. Still, it had the width of Hippo's legs, Douglas also made sure that the muscle group was remade into the most optimized version, the fur was made sure to be there, as it was something that would protect Mudang from the intense cold, and also remade the ears to be able to dissipate body heat.

After a few minutes, Douglas finished reassembling Mudang, as he became a large hippo, with legs as tall as him, but what did not change was that it was still loyal to Douglas, as it immediately rubbed its face towards the' face of Douglas.
