Why this matters
The chapter is titled after Dr. Kureha, marking her as the arc’s load-bearing introduced figure — the doctor the Straw Hats need for the gravely ill Nami. Her extreme longevity (139) and self-canonized medical mastery seed her as the keeper of Drum’s medical knowledge after the kingdom lost its doctors, and pre-load her role as Chopper’s adoptive medical teacher. The witch nickname and the eccentric, extortionate manner are the prop-tells of a doctor who will be both Nami’s cure and Chopper’s mentor.
