Short Summary
Years ago, Dalton assisted a World Government summit about the emergence of a new enemy: the Revolutionary, Dragon. There, he encountered young Vivi who showed him how someone who cared about his country should behave.
Meanwhile, Chopper was finally happy, able to spend time with Dr. Hiluluk. The fake doctor tried to reproduce a Sakura bloom in a winter environment. He told Chopper a story of a thief who had an incurable disease by medical standards. Once he saw a Sakura boom in the winter, he was instantly cured of his affliction. Hiluluk believed that it was the key to a universal medicine which would help to cure this country, sick of Wapol's behavior. As a symbol of his determination to succeed, Hiluluk drew a Jolly Roger with cherry flower petals as a symbol of hope and relinquished dreaming.
After a year of laughs and disputes, Dr. Hiluluk asked Chopper to leave him, pretending he was now cured. The reindeer did not understand this sudden change of attitude and tried to hurt himself so that the doctor would take him back. But Hiluluk fired a shot at him and told him to never come back.
