Chapter 67: Scurvy
"Get out of here!" pirates !!"
Almost as soon as they approached the sea, an angry roar came from behind the deck
The ropes on the boat hooked the Golden Merry, and a man with a long knife climbed up with a grim face, compared to the Merry, the boat was really like a child's toy
The man looked so excited that he kicked over the barrel on the deck and drew his knife
"Just a nameless pirate, do you want to kill my partner!!"
"Huh?!"
"Wow! Danger!"
A flash of knife flashed, but it only grazed the corners of his clothes and slashed on the deck, and the sawdust flew up
Luffy dodged the man's slash in time, jumped up to the second floor with a strange scream, and turned his head to look at the man who was swinging his knife at him
"Hey, you guy!"
Zoro leaned against the outside of the cabin and turned his head unexpectedly [This voice, could it be...]
"Hey!"
Luffy looked at the machete in the man's hand with a frightened expression and clenched his fists
Even rubber people are afraid of knives!
"What are you talking about?"
"But I won't allow you to wreak havoc on our ship!" "What?!"
Luffy's eyes were full of puzzlement, but he didn't think much about it, and when the man's new strength was not born, he swooped out with both hands, grabbed the man's shoulders, raised his head and slammed into the plank
The man was stunned, and was thrown out by Luffy, and his big head slammed into the cabin, and he lost consciousness in an instant
"Evil... Demons..."
...
"What... Isn't this Johnny!"
Zoro walked over and looked at the fallen man with a look of surprise
The man was full of big men, lying on the deck in a large shape, looking like he was loveless
"Huh?!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the man slowly came back to his senses, his gaze shifted slightly, and it was the figure of Zoro that came into view
"Big, big, big.... Big brother?!"
The man rolled over and crawled up, kneeling on his knees looking terrified
"Brother Zoro?!"
"Big brother, how can you be on such a ship... On a pirate ship!"
The man stood up, sweat breaking out on his forehead
"What's wrong" Zoro looked useless, groping the back of his head blankly
"Joseph wasn't with you?"
"This..."
Only then did the man remember the purpose of his entry into the boat, and as soon as he hurriedly explained, he ran to the side of the boat
After a while, Johnny carried another man on his back
It's just that this person's appearance looks even more miserable than Johnny, and the man lying on the deck, the whites of his eyes are turned out, and he is gasping for breath, seeing that he is getting more air and less breathing
"Joseph—" Johnny said, wiping tears from his eyes, his voice trembling
"Joseph, this guy was still alive a few days ago, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he was in a coma several times during this period..."
"I can't figure out why!"
"Either the teeth are starting to fall out, or the old wounds are starting to bleed, and I'm already not sure what to do!"
The man covered his forehead with one hand, and his head kept shaking
"When I send it to the rocky side of the mountain to recuperate......"
The man gestured, and his gaze suddenly turned to Luffy and Usoppe
"All of a sudden, a cannonball came from this ship... And then, then..."
Luffy/Usopp: "......"
"Yes... Sorry !!"
...
"If an apology could be resolved, there would be no need for the police!"
The man suddenly stood up excitedly, and saliva foamed all over Luffy's face
Luffy and Usopp were all blue-haired, shaking their heads in a cold sweat, but they couldn't make the slightest refutation
"Hey..."
Nami sighed and walked over leisurely, as if sensing something
Kirby watched Nami's movements quietly, shook his head and smiled, he still knew such common sense at sea
Sure enough, Nami walked up to Joseph and began to check the man's injuries without saying a word
Surprisingly, Nami didn't even bother to look at the festering wounds, but just groped around the man's forehead to look at the man's upper eyelids, and after a while, she even pulled out the man's tongue and looked at it with her hand left and right
Johnny couldn't stand Nami's posture, and hurriedly pushed the girl away, angrily scolding
"What are you doing!"
"Even if my brother is about to die, I won't allow you to do this to him!"
Nami took a few steps back, but she still didn't say anything to the man, she just waved her hands and said to the two people who were still in tears, crying to death
"Luffy, Usopp! Isn't there a lime in the warehouse?"
"Woo woo woo woo ....."
"Hey, hey!"
"Woo woo woo ....."
"Are you listening?!"
Nami was so angry that she folded her feet and her eyes widened
"Bring it to me right away!"
"Yes, yes, yes... It's-!" X2
...
After a while, the two of them ran over with a box of green limes
"Scurvy!"
Nami explained over and over as she instructed the two of them to drip lime juice into the man's mouth
"The reason is just that there is a long-term lack of plant nutrition and the lack of fresh fruits..."
"It will be fine in two days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Really!" Johnny's eyes lit up, and his hands gripped Nami's hand tightly
"Really, big sister, are you telling the truth!!
"Huh... Eh, it's true. ”
Nami withdrew her hand and explained helplessly
"In the past, ships generally did not carry fresh fruits and vegetables that could not be stored for a long time, so this kind of illness is not uncommon, and a solution was found decades ago"
Nami pointed at Joseph with one hand, as if she were talking about common sense that a three-year-old child would know
"Yes, yes, that's it, feed him it all. ”
Usopp and Luffy both went up and stuffed Joseph's mouth all over the place, and he kept stuffing limes into it, apparently frightened
"But you've been adrift at sea for so long, and you don't even know this bit of common sense..."
"Uh..."
Johnny realized that he had misunderstood the good guy before, and quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake
"I'm sorry eldest sister, it was my fault before, I misunderstood you!"
"It's not bad," Nami waved her hand, not caring about any of that, and turned her head to her feet
"It's the two of you! According to your method, people choked to death by the two of you before they were killed by scurvy!!
Knock!
"Sorry !!" X2
...
Five minutes later
"Lalalala~"
"Lala~"
"We are brave brothers at sea!"
Joseph, who had just regained consciousness, pulled Johnny up and danced happily, and the two hooked hands, so happy
"Johnny!"
"Joseph!"
"We're a duo of bounty hunters targeting pirates!" X2
“......”
"How can it be so fast!" Nami's eyes were almost blinded
This guy, was he pretending to be before, or was it...
Nami couldn't help but take another look, and Luffy, who was dancing on the side, covered her forehead with her hand again
[Sure enough... Are they all rough nerves...]
