Chapter 142

Six years ago, Hiriluk discovered the reindeer he found could talk, and named him Tony Tony Chopper. Meanwhile, Royal Army Commander Dalton expressed concern about the state of the country, recalling his time at the Levely where Wapol's immature actions contrasted with the mature gracefulness of the ten-year-old Nefertari Vivi. Hiriluk wished to cure the people of Drum Island of all their sicknesses, including the ones in their hearts, and Chopper decided to help him despite his wishes. They worked together for a year, but after Chopper was fully healed, Hiriluk forced him back to the wild.

Skull and Sakura

Three days after rescuing him, Hiriluk found out the reindeer could talk. He wondered why he had been silent, and the reindeer said that talking would make the doctor hate him, since he was shot the last time he talked. Hiriluk saw no issue with the reindeer talking, and the two of them were forced to evacuate outside when one of Hiriluk's chemical containers exploded. Hiriluk was happy to see that the reindeer was fine after the explosion, and named him Tony Tony Chopper for his strong horns that could bring down a tree. Chopper liked the name.

As Wapol rode down the mountain wondering what new laws he would make, Royal Army Commander Dalton met with Chess and Kuromarimo, who noted he was acting weird since coming back from the global conference Levely. Dalton wondered if their kingdom would be the same with a growing inequality between the royals and the people, but Chess and Kuromarimo failed to see an issue. They claimed that Wapol's stricter method of ruling was for the good of the country, but Dalton told them about one girl he had met at the Levely. In Mary Geoise where it was held, King Thalassa Lucas had held up a picture of the Revolutionary Dragon, warning that he would be a great danger to the world in five to six years. Wapol blew him off, failing to see any danger to his kingdom. King Nefertari Cobra of Arabasta reprimanded Wapol for his selfishness, and after the meeting, Wapol struck his young daughter Vivi under the guise of an accidental bump. Igaram became enraged, but Vivi stopped him, claiming responsibility for the altercation. Dalton was greatly impressed with the young princess' poise in such a volatile event, and overheard in shame from around the corner as Vivi cried when alone with Igaram. Back on Drum Island, however, Chess and Kuromarimo thought little of this action, telling Dalton not to mix emotion with policies.

As Hiriluk experimented with chemicals, he told Chopper not to hate the people on the island for casting them out, saying they had a sickness in their hearts. He told Chopper about a thief from the far west, who went around looking for a cure for his heart ailment. Doctors could not provide a cure, so he went wandering around until he came to a mountain. There, he saw beautiful cherry blossoms, and a doctor later found that his ailment was completely cured. Hiriluk believed that there was no disease that could not be cured, and declared that he would stand with his Jolly Roger to fight every disease that threatened the people in the country. Chopper was intrigued by the Jolly Roger, and Hiriluk said it was a symbol of faith, encouraging him to some day get out to other parts of the world and see how small his problem really was. Hiriluk told Chopper to get back home to keep recovering while he treated patients, but Chopper wanted to assist him. They overheard that a patient needed medicine from a mushroom, but were promptly chased away after trying to give him lizard eyes. Hiriluk and Chopper were run off by everyone they tried to help, and one time the former kicked the latter into the mob to serve as a decoy. After almost dying, Chopper returned to Hiriluk's base. He was angry at the doctor, but Hiriluk insisted that Chopper should have never followed him on his missions. However, he gave Chopper a pink top hat as an apology, which caused the reindeer to tear up. Hiriluk and Chopper did everything together for a year, until Chopper was finally cured. Hiriluk had no intention of taking care of him, and Chopper pleaded to stay with the doctor, but Hiriluk shot at him and told him to never come back again. As Chopper ran off, Hiriluk sobbed and hoped the reindeer would forgive him.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are holding up the line at the Krusty Krab because Mermaid Man is taking too long to decide what to order. Mermaid Man orders a Krabby Patty and a Pipsqueak Patty for Barnacle Boy, but the latter complains and demands an adult-sized burger, claiming that since he is very old, he should no longer be treated as a child. When Mermaid Man, Squidward, and the Krusty Krab patrons begin to tease him, Barnacle Boy breaks his friendship with Mermaid Man and joins Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble to form a villainous group known as "E.V.I.L." (Every Villain Is Lemons), a group that does immature criminal acts, and he changes his name to Barnacle Man, and they cause trouble acting like crazy kids.

Mermaid Man runs outside the Krusty Krab until he hears an ice cream truck. He orders a double scoop of prune ice cream with bran sprinkles from E.V.I.L., but the ice cream explodes after he eats it, giving him a hole in his stomach, and they drive off. Mermaid Man then realizes that he cannot defeat this new threat on his own, so he recruits SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward to reform the "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances." SpongeBob becomes the "Quickster" and can run at amazing speed. Squidward becomes "Captain Magma," gaining the power to produce fire and lava. Patrick becomes the "Elastic Waistband," gaining the power to stretch his body to large lengths. Sandy becomes "Miss Appear" and can become invisible. The Chief informs them that E.V.I.L. is at a teenage gathering spot called Makeout Reef, where they are harassing the teenagers by shining a flashlight on their parked cars while they are making out.

Mermaid Man and his team go to Make-Out Reef and confront the villains, but, despite numerous advantages, defeat themselves. Squidward (Captain Magma) accidentally shoots lava on SpongeBob's (The Quickster's) head, and the latter starts running around in circles at super-speed as he burns in pain. Patrick (Elastic Waistband) tries to stop him from running, but he gets caught onto SpongeBob and is overstretched. Mermaid Man tries to put out the water on SpongeBob (The Quickster), but mistakes Squidward (Captain Magma) for SpongeBob (The Quickster) and washes him up with a water ball, disintegrating him. Sandy (Miss Appear) disappears to catch E.V.I.L. by surprise, but is hit by a boat from behind and knocked off the cliff. By this time, SpongeBob has completely disintegrated, and all that is left of him are his shoes. Mermaid Man simply falls over backward. Having watched the heroes defeat themselves, Barnacle Man demands three things of Mermaid Man: that he be treated like a superhero, not a sidekick; that he be called "Barnacle Man"; and that he be allowed to eat an adult-sized Krabby Patty. He then immediately rejoins the side of good, much to Man-Ray and the Dirty Bubble's dismay, as Man-Ray had been hoping Barnacle Man would demand world domination, and the Dirty Bubble had hoped he would make Mermaid Man eat dirt.

When the heroes return to the Krusty Krab, Barnacle Man admits an adult-sized Krabby Patty is too big for him. Everyone begins laughing, including SpongeBob and his friends, who are severely injured and supported by medical equipment, the guy at Make-Out Reef who was kissing the pillow, Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble in prison, and the Chief is making out with himself, and he turns around and laughs hysterically.
