At Bighorn village, everyone is busy searching for Dalton, except Zoro, who kept asking, "Who's Dalton".

After a while, Dalton was found. 

They brought him to the surface and gathered around him, worried about his life.

Vivi: Dalton, no! Please wake up Dalton, you have to

???: don't worry, he's not dead

Everyone looked at the source of the voice and were surprised that the twenty MDs showed up. 

Citizen 1: THE TWENTY MDS!?

Doctor 1: he will die if we don't act soon. He has severe frostbite 

Doctor 2: we can begin treating him immediately if you let us

Murmurs began circling between the citizens, showing signs of distrust. 

Zoro: I thought there weren't any doctors here?

Usopp: There are a few doctors, the twenty MDs. But they work exclusively for wapol, so it makes them bad doctors

More hateful Murmurs began circling between the people

Citizen 2: THAT'S RIGHT, WE CANT TRUST ANY OF YOU, TRAITORS! YOU EXPECT US TO LEAVE DALTON TO YOU?! YOU ALL SURRENDERED TO WAPOL AND TURNED YOUR BACKS ON US!

Citizen 3: WAPOL PROBABLY SENT YOU HERE TO KILL DALTON!

The doctors began removing their masks to show their sincerity. 

Doctor 3: Please, if you want to save him, then do as we say! The twenty of us are still doctors even though we are forced to serve wapol against our will. we've always worked to advance our medical research for the benefit of all the patients of this country... it was all because of a certain quack who taught us to never give up. We can't afford to lose good men like him, so please let us help

After seeing the sincerity of the twenty MDs, the citizens allowed them to operate on Dalton. 

Vivi, Usopp, and Zoro waited out in the snow during the operation for hours. 

Vivi: I can't take this anymore. Let's go up the mountain, okay, Usopp, Mr Bushido

Zoro: Huh?

Vivi: Sitting around and waiting is killing me. Rimuru and the others could've gotten hurt  in the avalanche. They might be trapped! And don't forget Nami had a high fever. If anything has happened to them--

Usopp: You're worrying about them and alabasta... can't you see it, Vivi? You're carrying too many burdens at once, calm down. We don't need to go up there at all, and do you know why? Because those four are fine, it's them we're talking about, and I believe in them

Vivi was impressed that Usopp made a good argument and gained respect for him.

Vivi: thanks alot Usopp, you're full of wisdom

Zoro walked up to Usopp and started poking at him.

Zoro: Nah, he's full of crap. He's just afraid to go up the mountain 

Usopp: *trembling* I heard there are yetis and huge man-eating bunnies on the mountain! I don't want to get eaten!

Zoro: Then say that from the start, you coward

Usopp: *trembling* fine! I'm scared to be monster food, and im sure they're fine, Rimuru is smarter and as strong as Luffy!

At that moment, Vivi's opinion of Usopp slightly dropped from hearing his real reason for his wise words.
