Chapter 42: Landing on Magnetic Drum Island
Luffy is a man who says he does it, he says that if he beats Valpo into the air, he really beats Valpo into the air. 『』
The two people on Valpo's ship, who looked like squad leaders, saw that their boss was blown away, and originally wanted to leave a few cruel words and then retreat strategically, but Luffy and Zoro The two "monsters" had already come to the big ship and turned on the Musou mowing mode.
"Damn, Lord Valpo is a landlubber, we must save him immediately!"
"If the big boat can't be driven, let's use the lifeboat first. ”
In this way, with the departure of the two guys who can still fight, this unskilled battle has become no suspense.
…………
Valpo's ship not only had a doctor, but also a full 20 people, collectively known as the Doctors20.
Luffy, Vivi, and the others were very happy because they all felt that Nami's illness was cured.
The twenty skilled doctors spent a long time around Nami in a coma, but the results disappointed the Straw Hats.
"You bastard, what do you mean Nami-san is hopeless!!" a furious Sanji grabbed a doctor by the collar and almost made a rough move, but was fortunately stopped by Usopu.
The doctor took a few steps back in horror and said, "However, there is really nothing we can do about this epidemic." ”
The woman's illness was called the "Five-Day Disease," an extinct infectious disease. An old doctor who seemed to be the leader of the 20 doctors explained to everyone: "There is no cure for this disease unless there are special antibiotics, and this is a disease from 100 years ago, how can we have antibiotics at that time?"
"Five days sick?" Wei Wei pondered for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Five days doesn't mean ......"
"Huh. The old doctor nodded heavily: "I will die in five days!"
"Look at the red marks on her arms, it should be the next day. ”
"What!!" The Straw Hats were all stunned, they really couldn't imagine that their partner only had 3 days to live.
Sanji collapsed to the ground weakly, his eyes blank.
Usopp's mouth was wide open, his eyes wide.
Wei Wei covered her mouth with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
(Why are people so fragile...... )
Zoro suddenly had a feeling of astringency in his mind when his master Jing Shiro said to him when Guina died, and then he lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
"Three days?" Sherlock pushed his glasses, the harsh reality several times worse than the worst he'd ever had ever had.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the cabin became very oppressive and overwhelming.
At this moment, Luffy suddenly spoke.
"What, isn't there 3 days left?"
Everyone looked at the Straw Hat Boy in surprise.
"As long as we can find the antibiotic to cure Nami in 3 days, won't we?" Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head and showed an extremely confident smile: "I must save my navigator!"
"Luffy ......"
The simple words of the dead cargo captain swept away the gloom in everyone's hearts.
This is Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, a man who is always optimistic, always confident, and who will never give up on his companions, the spiritual pillar of this team.
Doctor 20 looked at Luffy's bright smiling face, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Six years ago, wasn't there a fool who didn't lose faith in that decaying kingdom until the last moment of his life?
The quack's smile before he died was similar to the straw hat boy's smile now.
The same optimism, the same hope......
"yes, isn't there still 3 days left!"
Sherlock smiled knowingly, turned to the old doctor and asked, "Do you know where there is an antibiotic that can cure the five-day illness?"
The Straw Hats immediately looked at the doctor with hopeful eyes20.
Doctor 20 looked at each other and nodded silently, and then the old doctor at the head took an eternal pointer from his pocket and threw it to Sherlock.
"This is the eternal pointer of Magnetic Drum Island, which we have been secretly hiding for months, and now we are giving it to you. ”
"Magnetic drums?" Wei Wei exclaimed, "I remember that there is a kingdom called magnetic drums, which is a country with very advanced medical treatment!"
"Hehe, that's all in the past...... the old doctor shook his head, and said with a straight face, "There's a doctor named Dr. Kureha there." ”
"She's the most skilled doctor I've ever seen in my life, and if I can't help her, I'm hopeless. ”
Sherlock played with the eternal pointer in his hand, his eyes swept over the 20 doctors, and asked a little strangely, "You didn't tell us the truth at the beginning, because we were pirates, and we were afraid that we would be bad for that country, why didn't you worry about it later?"
"Because we don't think you're the kind of bad pirates. The old doctor looked at his companion and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Moreover, even if the bad pirates come, they are much better than that faint king." ”
"When you get to Drum Island, please help us remind a man named Dalton to beware of Valpo's comeback......"
…………
Sending the Doctor 20, who had done a great job, back to their wrecked ship, the Golden Merry was once again.
Luffy came to Nami's bedside and whispered to the sleeping orange-haired girl, "Nami, we will definitely send you to Magnetic Drum Island!
Probably sensing the determination of his own captain, the delirious navigator nodded slightly.
With a grin, Luffy turned his head and said loudly, "Let's go!" Target: Magnetic Drum Island!"
"Oh!" the crowd responded.
…………
Under the guidance of the eternal hand, the Straw Hats traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Magnetic Drum Island on the third day.
Drum Island is a winter island, and from a distance, the whole island is white, and several extremely tall chimney-like peaks rise in the middle of the island, and the eyes of the stupid cargo captain sitting on the bow of the ship are full of brilliance.
"It's a lot of snow! I'm sure I'll be able to build a big snowman this time!"
Sanji on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Idiot, we're here to treat Nami-san, not to build a snowman!"
"Woo, there is so much snow on this island, will there be a legendary snow monster!" The brain-opening Usopp nervously patrolled with a telescope, and an extremely negative association was made in his mind: "No, I have a disease that can't go to the island"
"Hah, then you need to go to the island even more, Usopp. Zoro grinned and smiled, "That famous doctor will definitely cure your old problem!"
Sherlock looked strangely at the Luffy Four, who were only wearing single clothes, tightened his scarf, and said in surprise, "I say, don't you feel a little cold?"
A cold wind blew.
"It's so cold~~~~" x4
The four teases hurriedly ran back to the cabin to change their cotton clothes, and Princess Vivi shook her head.
The Merry sailed along the inland river into the island, and Luffy and the others lay on the edge of the boat, staring at the snow on the shore in amazement.
The wind was blowing so hard that the snow flakes flew in the air like torn cotton wool, falling in all directions aimlessly, and most of the trees on the shore were bent over by the thick snow, which showed how much snow was falling here.
"It's so beautiful...... "Vivi muttered as she looked at the silver-clad world. Having grown up in a desert country, it was the first time she had enjoyed such a spectacular snowy scene.
Finding a nice place to anchor the boat, the group began to discuss who was going to find Dr. Kureha.
At this moment, a large group of people with muskets and long knives suddenly burst out of the snowdrifts on the shore, they looked at the conspicuous pirate flag on the Merry, and said nervously: "You guys get out of here quickly!"
"You pirates are not welcome on this island!"
Well, the attitude of the people of this island towards pirates is the exact opposite of Whiskey Mountain.
"We're here for a doctor!"
"There's a seriously ill person on board!"
Luffy and Vivi stood by the boat and shouted to the people on the shore with anxious expressions.
But the people on both sides of the shore didn't believe Luffy and Vivi's words at all, they raised their weapons in their hands and shouted:
"We won't be deceived!
(Looking at their appearance, they hate and fear pirates, have they ever been attacked by pirates?)
Sherlock pushed his glasses, and combined with the information given by the doctor 20 before, he had already deduced what was happening on the island in his mind.
"We're really annoying, it's obviously the first time we've met them...... Sanji finished speaking, and was about to light a cigarette when he heard a gunshot, and the people on the shore actually shot him.
"Okay, there's a kind!" Sanji looked at the bullet holes at his feet, and said in a low voice with a dark face, the cook who had been overwhelmed by Nami's illness had already been holding back the fire in his stomach these days, and this shot could be said to have completely ignited the explosives in his body.
"Calm down, Sanji!" Sherlock hurriedly stopped Sanji in a rage, "Think about Nami, do you want her to die?"
“……”
At the mention of Nami, the cook immediately calmed down, pouted with a cigarette in his mouth, and took two steps back.
After pacifying Sanji, Sherlock cleared his throat and shouted at the crowd on the shore:
"We're here for a doctor named Dr. Kureha. ”
"Our companion is terminally ill and needs her treatment. ”
"By the way, we met a guy named Valpo on the way here, I don't know if you recognize him!"
At the mention of Valpo, there was a commotion among the crowd on the shore, as if the owner of the name was some kind of flood beast.
"You say Valpo?" a tall man with a strong body like a cow stepped forward a few steps and said with an ugly face, "Is he going back to Drum Island?"
Raising the eternal pointer in his hand, Sherlock said lightly: "This is what Doctor 20 gave me, and at the same time, they asked me to remind a man named Dalton to make a comeback at Embankment Valpo." ”
As he spoke, Sherlock looked at the tall man who was faintly the leader of the crowd and pushed his glasses: "That Dalton is talking about you." ”
"It's okay if you don't let us ashore. ”
"How about you if you can help find that Dr. Kureha and get our companion healed, how about we help you get rid of that Valpo? ”
The crowd on the shore lowered their weapons and began to whisper earnestly, and then they all turned their heads to look at Dalton, which showed the prestige of this strong man.
Dalton was silent, his resolute face cloudy, apparently unable to determine whether what Sherlock said was true or false.
For a while, the two groups of people were so deadlocked.
Thump~
"Miss Vivi, what are you?" said Sanji.
"Please save my partner!" Wei Wei knelt on the deck and threw herself to the ground: "Our partner is suffering from a serious illness, please help us, please!"
(Is this the bearing of a princess of a country?)
Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji looked at Princess Vivi who was kneeling on the ground, with a complicated look on their faces.
Luffy was first shocked when he saw that Vivi lowered his posture so much, and then his expression froze, and he walked up to Vivi and knelt down.
"Please, uncle!" Luffy pleaded as he looked at Dalton.
"Nami, she only has 2 days to live, I don't want her to die!" Speaking of this, Luffy's voice was mixed with obvious crying.
"She's my important companion, so please......"
"Please save my companion!!"
With that, Luffy's head slammed down, and his straw hat rolled forward under the effect of inertia.
Sherlock looked at the two kneeling on the deck, silently pushed his glasses, closed his eyes, and didn't know what to say.
