Chapter 255: A Penny Stumps a Hero (Third Update!) )

"Really? Was the movement really an avalanche? ”

Valpo sat on his throne in the palace and said as he ate his food. As a person with the ability to swallow fruits, he didn't have the option of chewing when he ate, whether it was a roast suckling pig with a thick waist or an apple the size of a fist, all of them were thrown directly into his mouth and swallowed.

After listening to Jace and Cro-Limon's report, Valpo breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether the other party is coming for him or not, he will definitely not be able to survive under such an avalanche. The best way to solve the problem is not to deal with it quickly, but to make the source of the problem disappear. That's what we're talking about.

"Since they're all dead, we'll laugh at the other party's warship." Valpo smiled and said, "Jace, you take someone to bring back the warship in the harbor." ”

"Yes! Valpo-sama! ”

The other party's stay on the warship was just a few small shrimps, and since the rear admiral was not there, Jace was confident that he could complete this task beautifully.

......

Strange ceiling ......

Wait a minute!

Drake's eyes widened and he rolled over and sat up. But as he moved, a piercing pain struck, causing him to curl up directly.

"No, you can't!"

A slightly shrill voice rang out, one with a little hesitation, a little anger, and a little ...... Afraid?

"Your wounds have not healed, lie down!"

"Well, I'm ...... Was it saved? ”

Thinking so, Drake endured the pain and struggled to tilt his head to the other side of the bed.

"Huh? Strange, why nobody? ”

As far as the eye can see, this should be an ordinary hut, except for the bottles and cans placed in the corner, it is no different from ordinary people.

But just because it's just an ordinary cabin that you can see from start to finish at a glance, Drake is weird.

What about the person who just spoke?

At this moment, a thin and graceful figure pushed the door in, holding a bottle of wine with no label in his hand: "Ah, it turned out that you woke up!" ”

Gollum!

After taking two sips of wine, the visitor continued: "Tsk, I really deserve to be a rear admiral. I'm still wondering if you can survive it, after all, the injuries on your body would have been dead for a long time, but I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. ”

To be honest, if you just look at the parts below the neck that can't be described, Drake will think that this person is a big beauty. But hear her voice, and ...... After seeing the other party's appearance, Drake only felt that the other party was an energetic aunt...... No, old woman!

But no matter what it is, listening to the other party's tone, it is a fact that he was saved by her. So, Drake reluctantly lifted the quilt and wanted to go down to the ground to thank the other party.

"Did you save me? What a ......."

"You can't come down!"

It was the shrill voice just now, Drake froze, followed the source of the sound, and suddenly blinked in confusion.

"Uh, this is, Tanuki?"

"I'm not a tanuki, I'm a reindeer!" Tony Tobey Chopper, who was studying medicine with Dr. Kureha, roared with fangs, and then suddenly realized that he ran behind Kureha's legs in a panic.

It's just that it's hiding in the wrong direction, and one head is indeed hidden, but the whole body is exposed.

Watching Chopper's performance, Drake was even more confused. He felt that he should still be very weak, so he hallucinated in front of his eyes, otherwise, why a tanuki...... No, reindeer can talk?!!!

Kureha saw Drake's expression, and without waiting for him to ask, he explained casually: "Chopper is a reindeer that eats everyone's fruit, so it's not surprising that he can talk." ”

Grunt!

Taking another sip of wine, Kureha shook the bottle, looked at it, and said to Drake.

"But even though he's only a reindeer, he's a good healer. You see, he bandaged the wounds on your body, which is good, right? ”

"Yaga! Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy! You idiot, hehe! ”

"Reindeer...... Doctors? Looking at the little dot writhing happily at Kureha's feet, Drake smiled and nodded sincerely, "Thank you so much, Dr. Chopper." ”

"Baga, Baga, Baga! I wouldn't be happy if you said that! ”

Chopper's writhing was even more exaggerated this time, and the smile on his face would be infected even by the stone. The same goes for Drake, looking at Chopper's smile, he suddenly relaxes.

Immediately, though, he remembered his men. Those are all brothers who are willing to follow him to give up their naval identity and bear the pursuit together!

Immediately, Drake nervously asked, "Doctor, what about my brothers?" ”

"Huh? Are you asking me the secret to eternal youth? ”

Drake: "...... No, not at all. ”

"Oh, you said they." Kureha gestured to the other bed in the room, and did not answer Drake's question directly: "There are only two things that a patient can disappear from my eyes, one is healed, and the other is death. ”

Looking at his adjutant Moore lying on the hospital bed over there, Drake's expression darkened.

"Ah, is that so? Thank you, doctor. ”

"No thanks!" Kureha pulled over the chair and sat down, with a smile on her face: "After all, I'm not a welfare home, and there is a fee for saving people." ”

"You're here on a warship that stays on the other side of the Big Horn, right? The navy should be rich, right? ”

By the way, how did you come up with the idea that Navy = Rich Man?

Drake looked puffed and complained, "You're talking about the scum in the navy and the maggots in the army." As a major general, I don't have that much money. ”

At this point, Drake was stunned and said with a wry smile: "And I'm not a Navy now, where did I get the money." ”

Because the escape plan was hastily formulated, Drake simply didn't have the time and energy to prepare the treasure. He has no plans to create a pirate group now, but just wants to escape back to the North Sea and get out of the sight of the navy.

"In other words, you don't have any money?" Kureha glanced at the empty bottle on the ground, and his eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"Well, I don't."

Swish...... Boom!

A head-sized wood-chopping axe slashed through Drake's ear and slashed heavily at the head of the hospital bed, scaring Drake with the danger in his face.

He didn't even see the other party's speed clearly just now!

This doctor is so strong!

Bringing his face closer to Drake, Dr. Kureha's eyes gleamed eerily behind his sunglasses.

"As I said, this is not a welfare home. Since I don't have any money, I'll leave something from you. Mr. Rear Admiral, no, Mr. Navy. ”

Grunt!

Drake's gaze flickered, and he looked at the head of the hospital bed that had been cut in two by an axe, and the sweat on his back was upside down, and he was speechless for a long time.
