After witnessing Kureha's farewell to chopper, the crew reached the ship while Chopper was still watching the cherry blossoms. 

Usopp: *whisper* Hey, do you think Chopper is okay? He looks a bit down

Usopp: *whisper* Hey, do you think Chopper is okay? He looks a bit down

Nami: im sure he'll be fine. Let's just leave him alone for now

Sanji: it's an emotional time. He's going on his first journey as a man. It's a ride of passage 

Vivi: And he's about to leave drum island for good. It's been his home his entire life

Just then, Rimuru made a realization. 

Rimuru: Hold on, where'd Karoo run off to?

Everyone began looking around and spotted Karoo frozen in the river.

Luffy reached out and fished Karoo out of the water, and Rimuru began wrapping the poor duck in blankets and scarves. 

The ship began sailing away to alabasta, leaving Drum Island behind and started celebrating their new crew member.

Zoro: These cherry blossoms make it look like we're having a party

Usopp: Hey Chopper! you can't stay moping around in a daze, come on, and have fun with us

Everyone started warming up to the reindeer, making him feel welcome. 

Chopper got overwhelmed and snuck off.

Nami: Those guys are a handful

Chopper got startled by Nami and Rimuru suddenly appearing behind him.

Nami: I hate to tell you that your new friends are about crazy

Chopper: My friends?

While everyone is celebrating, Vivi held her duck in concern.

Vivi: Karoo, what in the world are you doing frozen in the river like that?!

Karoo: *freezing* q-q-quack, quack

Zoro: *chuckl* Ten berries says he slipped and fell in the river. What a clumsy duck

Vivi: *irritated* Be quiet, Mr Bushido!

Karoo kept squawking while Chopper was listening closely.

Chopper: he said that a guy named Zoro was swimming in the river when he disappeared. He thought Zoro was in trouble, so he jumped in to save him but got frozen in it

Rimuru/Nami: *angry* So this is your fault!?

Nami smacked Zoro from behind, followed by Rimuru delivering a roundhouse kick and sent the swordsman overboard. 

Rimuru: Luffy, could you fish him out

Luffy: Sure 

Vivi: Wait, so you could really understand everything Karoo was saying?
