Chapter Forty-Nine: The Agreement between the Sick Lady and Mr. Pirate
"The bounty of sixteen million 'Hundred Chloe' has been defeated...... Usopp's clenched fist finally slowly loosened, and his brain suddenly swelled with extremely strong dizziness, and the serious injury that was almost killed by Chloe last night and the exhaustion of this morning's journey broke out, and he collapsed unconscious to the ground.
"Usopp ......" Keya's body was also shaky, and she very nervously probed her hand over Usopp's snort, and finally settled down with peace of mind.
Her physical condition was already very weak, and after crawling and walking in the morning, she could no longer exert any strength, and after sitting on the ground and gasping for breath for several times, she forced herself to walk towards Bucky's people.
"You ......" Keya looked at Kabaji a little timidly, "Can I help you heal......
Kabaji leaned against the rock wall, revealing the scars on his chest, and said a little coldly: "No need, I don't want to accept gifts from others, and I will do this kind of simple bandaging treatment." ”
"That's it......" Keya wanted to stop talking, she wanted to try her best to provide some help to these people who saved Chloe, but instead she hit a wall, and the hesitation and fear in her heart deepened, and her temperament became much weaker with her body after a few months of recuperation.
"Kabaji, don't be shy." Bucky walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "It's not a gift, it's a reward. ”
His sly gaze flashed: "Miss, let's see how you heal." ”
"Don't call me Miss...... I thank you very much for repelling the pirates and allowing me to see the ...... clearly Chloe's true face, I just hope to do what I can. Keya said with a sincere look.
"Swordsman...... Sir, can I help you with a treat? Despite getting Bucky's permission, Kaya politely consulted Kabaji.
"You can do whatever you want." Kabaji didn't have much enthusiasm and said nonchalantly.
Treatment, how is it treated? Is it possible to treat empty-handed?
"Yes." Keya nodded reservedly, spread her right hand upward, and in Kabaji's face gradually became surprised, a larger and larger green bubble formed in the palm of his hand, and then slowly pressed the green bubble on Kabaji's chest.
The bubbles seeped into Kabaji's body step by step, and there was a crispy tingling sensation in his chest, which covered up a lot of pain, and a pale green scar formed on the wound.
"You...... How did you do that?! Kabaji's face changed dramatically from the disdain at the beginning, and he touched the wound incredibly, feeling that the wound had a tenacious vitality that continued to grow outward, mending the wound from the inside out.
"I don't know......" Koya said in a bit of a panic.
"You ate a Devil Fruit...... Same with me. "It's a fruit that gives you magical abilities when you eat it, but at the cost of it, whoever eats it will be disgusted by the sea and become a landlubber." ”
"Then my ability ......" Keya looked at her palms in a daze.
"It's the ability to be a ship doctor." Bucky smirked.
"Ship...... Medical? Koya looked at Bucky suspiciously.
"yes, do you think that we helped you smash such a big conspiracy, and maybe even endanger the entire village, can it be offset by just a word or two of thanks?"
Keya took two steps back in panic like a fawn, and said with a pale face, "Red nose...... Uncle, what do you mean? ”
"Don't call me Red Nose, and don't call me Uncle!"
Bucky adjusted his mood and said casually, "The ship's doctor who can only wear bandages on the ship has retired, and it just so happens that I still lack a doctor, and it's you." ”
"But...... I don't want to be a pirate. ”
Bucky's eyes rolled, and he suddenly threw out a big question.
"I ask you, do you have a dream?"
"Dream ......" Kaya muttered in a low voice, thought for a while, and said softly, "I want to see the colorful world out there like an adventure story, I want everyone to be healthy, not to be affected by illness like my parents and me, and I want to be stronger...... I think a lot, but I know I can't do it......"
It's set!
Bucky vaguely sketched a sly smile and brewed his emotions.
"As you can see, we are pirates, but we are a group of pirates with dreams, and we are more like restless people who roam the world, seeing a wider world in the adventures of the unknown.
Become a grass, you can only take root in one place for a lifetime, but when you become a dandelion, you can let yourself fly into the distance, and if you are with a group of interesting 'dandelions', you can snuggle up even in the wind and waves. ”
"A group of uneasy people like us can sometimes be injured or even dying because of their beliefs, but you can play your part and save the lives of a group of people who love their dreams."
Bucky paused, like a sales instructor, releasing his passionate emotions, "Do you want to grow and understand the value of your own existence?" This boat will tell you that this is independent, strong, confident, self-loving, and wants to learn, and it is a teacher! ”
Listening to Bucky's words, Keya lowered her head, her palms tightly held in her chest, and her face showed hesitation.
"Do you know why you hesitate? Because your heart is moved, you are willing to see the vast ocean, but you are cowardly, afraid, hesitant, you are full of fear of the unknown, you are worried about your weakness, if you stop here...... You will never grow, and you will never be able to move forward, and you should make the right judgment in your heart. ”
"I ...... I ......" Keya tried to refute desperately, but she couldn't say a word, and she faintly agreed with Bucky's words.
"Ahem......" Bucky cleared his throat and made the last straw that broke the camel's back, "It's human nature to be uneasy, if you agree with my success in helping you repel this group of pirates, we can make a permanent gentleman's agreement." ”
……
The next morning.
In the villa on the top of the hill in the village of Sirob, a sick girl with pale yellow hair hummed a brisk tune and began to pack up the clothes in the closet alone. For some reason, a hint of longing for the outside world overwhelmed her previous uneasiness, and she began to look forward to it.
"Miss!"
Mei Li, who learned the truth and everything from Keya's mouth, looked at the eldest lady in front of her, and said lonely, "Do you really want to be a pirate?" You're not cured yet, and you'll always be that cute and well-behaved kid in my heart, I really didn't think you would want to be a pirate......"
Keya's movements slowed down, and she was a little confused about the changes in her emotions, how could I ......
I glanced up at the book on the desk, "Ivan's Adventures", and slowly relieved myself.
Perhaps, I'm actually a restless person......
