Chapter 21: The Seven-Day Limit
"Hi, Dr. Daze King Rannick, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Yunero, I'm the captain of the Yunero Pirates, this is my co-captain Swain, we need your help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info Yune pointed to Sven beside him and introduced him to Rangnick, but Rangnick continued his research with his head down.
It's unclear what Rangnick looks like, but a steel helmet "wraps" his entire head inside, and the eyes on the helmet are stacked with several optical lenses, which look like spider eyes. Wearing a white coat, his figure and height are not outstanding, and if he loses that helmet and white coat, he probably won't be able to find him in the crowd.
The lenses on the helmet are constantly changing, sometimes changing to a large one, another to a small one, some green, some blue. The scalpel and scissors in his hands were also waving, dissecting the corpse of an unknown creature on the test bench.
"Dr. Rangnick, we need your help. Yunelo and Swain had walked over to Rangnick's side and told Rangnick once again what they were coming for.
"Say..."Rangnick nodded, not looking up at the two of them, but just saying that he knew, and letting them continue.
"We have a sick man on board who needs your help, and now only you can heal him. β
"Who?" Rangnick raised his head and looked at the two of them, but judging from their faces and breathing, they didn't look like patients, they didn't even look like they had any minor illnesses, they were very healthy, and they didn't know who the patients they were talking about, so they buried their heads and continued to study.
Yuneruo patted his head, secretly calling himself confused, rushing too fast with Sven, desperate to find Rangnick, but forgetting that Akin's illness was still on the stretcher behind, and quickly asked Sven to ask the boys to carry Ajin in through the phone bug.
After a while, the pirates carried Ah Jin in, Ah Jin's face was pale, his lips were black, last night's voyage made his condition worse, lying on the stretcher and coughing "cough cough... Captain... Deputy Captain ...".
Yunero and Swain nodded at Ah Jin, signaling Ah Jin to rest assured, you have found a doctor, and your illness will be cured. Of course, Ah Jin also understood what the two meant, so he looked at the genius doctor again.
"Dr. Rangnick, the patient has arrived, please treat him as much as it costs, I am willing to pay as much as it takes. Listening to what Yunero said to Rangnick, Ah Jin was moved, and he was willing to pay any price for the illness of such a subordinate.
Rangnick glanced at Ah Jin twice, shook his head, walked to a storage box and rummaged through it, and threw a bottle of green potion at Yunero, who gently took the bottle of green potion and held it in his hand.
"Give him a seventh of the dose every day for seven days. Damn, you've gotten the people of the World Government away, who's going to send me these exotic beasts? Okay, you can go out, and I'll continue my research..."Rangnick complained after telling Yunelo how to use it, the World Government is gone, and it seems that he has to return to the Great Voyage to find those exotic beasts.
"Thank you, Dr. Rangnick, will you be fine in seven days? Thank you so much..."Yunero happily opened the potion, evened out one-seventh of the dose, and poured it into Ah Jin, who instantly turned pale. Sure enough, it's a genius doctor, the antidote is so good, it has an effect directly, thanked Rangnick for a while, and thought about how to incorporate this genius doctor into his own.
"Well, don't thank me, you'll be dead in seven days. Rangnick said lightly, he knew that this disease was poisoned, and he had seen this poison.
"What?" Yuneruo was stunned, but before she could react.
"You'll be dead in seven days. Rangnick said again, making sure that the words were reaching Yunero's ears.
"What do you mean? Why died in seven days?" "If Youneru is wondering what kind of potion Rangnick gave Ah Jin to drink, could it be **? According to Rangnick's deeds, it may really be a bottle of **, but why did you give Ah Jin**, everyone is seeing it for the first time, and there is no injustice or hatred, not necessarily because they don't like themselves.
"Not saved, that's what it meansβ" Rangnick straightened up, looked at Akin, then at Yunero, and spread his hands out to show that he couldn't do anything.
"What, aren't you a genius doctor?how can you not save Akin?" Yunero was annoyed, she ran up to find him, and said that she couldn't save Ajin, and a wave of anger rushed up, and was about to go up and pull Rangnick to question, but was stopped by Sven, patted Yunero on the shoulder, and signaled him to calm down.
"Yunero, the other party is a doctor, if the doctor thinks that it can't be saved, he shouldn't lie, listen to the doctor's statement first, don't be so frizzy. "Yunero was originally a person who was constrained by the legal and moral framework of modern society, but after coming to the One Piece world, without those constraints, his personality naturally became a little casual, or not calm enough, and went his own way. Yunero also had to praise Swain at this time. This deputy captain is very competent, although he is uninhibited, but he is still very calm when it is important.
"It's me Meng Lang, I'm sorry, Dr. Rangnick. Why didn't Akin, why didn't he get saved?" Yunero calmed down when Swain said this, he knew that the doctor shouldn't lie, after all, the doctor's ethics were there.
Rangnick glanced at Swain and Yunero, revealing some appreciation, a calm co-captain, a captain angry for his men, a good combination.
"It's true that I can't be saved, to be precise, I can't be saved..."
"Why?"
"No, why, because I didn't make the ingredients for the antidote. This patient's name is Ah Jin, right, if I read the poison in Ah Jin correctly, it should be caused by inhaling poisonous gas. After speaking, he looked at Yunero, Yunelo nodded, he knew that Ah Jin was poisoned by Creek, and when he was in Quentin Prison, he felt that Ah Jin was a little unwell.
"This poison gas is a poison made from the poison extracted from the 'Tongue Seed' of the East China Sea, which is rare in the world and grows only on the 'Mina Island' in the East China Sea. Tongue orchid seeds are the seeds of the orchid flower, which grows under the crater of the island of Minina, but only blooms once every four years, scatters the seeds of the tongue, and is on snowy days in winter.
The ** extracted from the orchid seeds can almost be said to be uncancellable, but there is still the only way, that is, the "ice lotus seeds" produced on the "Putura Island" in the West Sea, the ice lotus flower is the same as the tongue orchid, it also blooms in extreme places and seasons, and the ice lotus grows at the top of the Putura Snow Peak on the island of Putura, and only blooms when the summer sun is scorching, and it also blooms every four years.
Tongue seed and ice lotus seed are both very toxic poisons, but they are mutually restrained, that is to say, the poison caused by tongue seed can be relieved by ice lotus seeds, and the poison caused by ice lotus seeds can be relieved by tongue seed seeds. It just so happens that the Ice Lotus Flower is blooming this year, but Ah Jin can't insist that you go to the West Sea to find the Ice Lotus Seeds.
The previous bottle of medicine was only a medicine to help relieve other poisons in Ah Jin's body, not a medicine to relieve the seeds of the tongue. Rangnick didn't hurry to tell Yuneruo why he couldn't save Akin, the reason was not that he didn't want to save it, but that he couldn't save it.
Yunero also roughly guessed that the other poisons mentioned by Rangnick should be caused by Akin's ambush by the "Poisonous Assassin Eklan", at this time Yunelo looked at Swain, looking helpless, hoping to find a solution from Sven, after all, he used to be the chief of the navy, and at the same time stationed in Rogue Town, he also collected a lot of important information.
Of course, Swain did not disappoint Yunero "Captain, there is a way, only through purchase. Originally, we might have been able to find people to buy ice lotus seeds in Rogue Town, but when we looted Rogue Town, I believe that the merchants who sold drugs in Rogue Town had also quietly fled elsewhere. β
"What can I do? Is there no other way?" Yunero was worried, but seeing Sven's smile on his face, he probably guessed that Sven knew how to deal with the Ice Lotus Seed matter.
"Captain, there is another place, although it is not as prosperous as Rogue Town, but it is the center of the East China Sea medicine and medicinal materials trade. "Of course, Sven will not disappoint Yunero, Donghai is a good thing to Swain, and there are some more famous things in Donghai that Swain remembers.
"Where is it?" said Yunero happily.
"Black Gold Town, also known as Rye Wine Town by the pirates, is a paradise for black and gray forces, and it takes four days to travel back and forth from here. The town of Black Gold is heavily defended, and the navy of the East China Sea is basically unable to attack it, where there are not only pirates, bounty hunters, but also rich people from all over the East China Sea and secret agents of the World Government, and if you are lucky, you may even meet the Draconians there.
There are all kinds of black trade going on in the East China Sea, and of course, there are also illegal drugs and medicinal herbs from all over the world that can be found there, and whether or not we can find ice lotus seeds there depends on our luck. β
Sven introduced the solution to Yunero, although he could only find the ice lotus seed by luck, but Yunelo still decided to give it a try, after all, a glimmer of hope is hope, Yunero, a character like Ah Jin who appeared in the comics, did not want to let him die, and is now his own crew, Yunero Pirates, the captain of the pirate fleet battle.
"Alright, Swain, you go and prepare a medium warship first, and we'll get back as quickly as possible. Garrison the other two warships here to avoid being disturbed by the others, and order them not to attack the fishing village on the island. Remember to lower the pirate flag when preparing your battleship to avoid unnecessary trouble. β
"Yes, Captain!" Swain gave Yunelo a naval salute and left with a smile.
"Doctor Rannick, Ah Jin will ask you to take care of it first, I will leave the crew of the two ships at your disposal, and I will go to find the Ice Lotus Seed. β
"Remember, you only have seven days, and when those days are over, he will die. Seeing Rangnick nodding and continuing his research, Yunero was relieved at this time.
Walking up to Ah Jin, he said with concern, "Ah Jin, don't worry, I will find you the ice lotus seeds, you are now recuperating at Doctor Rangnick's place with peace of mind, so as not to worsen your condition, and you don't have to worry about other things." β
"Ahem... The captain ...... "Ah Jin wanted to say something, but looking at Yunero's smile, he swallowed the words back and nodded at Yunero to indicate that he knew.
