Chapter 319: The Appearance of Another Fruit
When Ian came down the mountain and returned to the village, Kureha and Chopper were still waiting.
"What about Valpo? Did you kill him? Kureha asked Ian as soon as they met.
The bald village chief and a group of villagers also looked at Ian, expecting to hear good news from him.
The people of this country have long been fed up with Valpo's stupid and cruel king, but on the contrary, they can't resist Valpo, so they can only hope that a hero can save them from Valpo's rule, Ian looked at the eyes of these people, and somehow, suddenly thought of a word: Bao Qingtian!
Well, it's a bit of a discord, but that's roughly what it means, it seems that it's the same no matter which world it is, and it's because ordinary people can't resist and can't get justice, so they all hope that someone can give them justice.
So in the face of these people's eyes, Ian had no choice but to nod and said, "Don't worry, Valpo will never appear again, and you can re-establish a peaceful country." ”
"Great!" The people in the village suddenly burst into a huge cheer, and some people even burst into tears of excitement.
This village is considered good, and it is said that in other villages, many people have died because of Valpo's damned hunting doctor's decree and they can't get effective treatment, so when they hear that Valpo is finally dead, people's first reaction is to breathe a long sigh of relief.
Ian looked at the cheering and celebratory people, and didn't bother them, turned to Kureha and said, "Valpo, that bastard, he has eaten all the books in his castle, not only did he not let this guy have any more brains, but I couldn't find any medical books, Dr. Kureha, it seems that I have to ask for your help!" ”
"Really!" Kureha crossed her waist and smiled, "Are you trying to ask me the secret of staying young?" ”
"It's not! I was asking you for some medical notes! Ian said, "The doctor in my pirate group asked me to bring some medical-related stuff back. ”
Kureha smiled and said, "That's fine! Come with me! Chopper! ”
"Yes!" Chopper happily replied and turned into a reindeer form, and Kureha took Ian on a sleigh, and Chopper led him towards Kureha's residence, while the bald village chief took the names of the villagers and saw Ian off in unison.
Once she had galloped all the way to Kureha's residence, she began to rummage through the books that Ian could take with her, and Ian sat on a chair and waited.
Chopper hid behind the door, revealing most of his body, peeking at Ian, wanting to come up and talk to Ian, but he was shy and embarrassed.
Seeing this, Ian beckoned to him and said, "Chopper, what are you doing?" ”
Chopper had no choice but to walk out timidly, came to Ian, looked up and asked Ian, "I...... Can I know your name? ”
Ian smiled and said, "Didn't Dr. Kureha tell you?" ”
Chopper shook his head and said, "Doctor Dorier didn't say it!" ”
Ian stretched out his hand and said to Chopper, "I'm Ian, and I'm a pirate at the moment, please take care of me!" ”
Chopper also happily stretched out his hooves and said, "I'm Tony Tony Chopper!" Now she is studying medicine with Dorier. ”
Ian grabbed Chopper's hooves and shook them twice like a handshake, feeling that Chopper's hooves were fluffy and quite comfortable to touch.
"You're a pirate from outside, what is the outside world like?" After shaking hands, Chopper stared at the cute big eyes and asked Ian Dao curiously.
"If you want to know, don't you just go out and see for yourself?" Ian laughed.
"Huh!? Can I go out too? Chopper was a little surprised.
"Of course, isn't it okay to be a pirate?" Ian said: "One day, you will meet a companion who is compatible with you, and then you will go to sea together to see the outside world!" ”
At this moment, Kureha walked in with a stack of books and said to Ian, "Boy, I thought you were going to kidnap this little bastard from me!" ”
Ian smiled and shook his head, he hadn't thought of it that way.
In fact, up to now, Ian has also met several Luffy's companions, at the beginning, he also wanted to take Nami as his navigator, but it wasn't until later that he found out that there is indeed a problem with the relationship of partners, Luffy's partners are not necessarily suitable for Ian's partners, Nami is like this, and Sanji is the same, Ian's character is not a character that can impress them and let them go with him, so even if he meets Chopper now, Ian has not considered this kind of problem.
The Dragon Hunter Pirates are not short of doctors, and Ian himself also has the healing ability of cards, so Chopper's medical skills are superfluous for him.
And from another point of view, Luffy's partner, why not Zoro's partner, as a senior brother, Ian is still quite concerned about Zoro's little junior brother, knowing that he may suffer a lot of injuries in the future, and if Chopper is there, Zoro's safety is also guaranteed.
It's just that Ian himself doesn't know now, if he makes such a fuss on Magnetic Drum Island, will Chopper still go with Luffy in the future?
Ian can't control this, so he doesn't plan to think too much, the matter of Magnetic Drum Island has been understood, he plans to go on the road, he has to go to the Kingdom of Alabastan, and now Ian also has a faint uneasy premonition, in the divination that Hawkins gave him, the so-called danger has not yet been realized, so Ian wants to finish the work and go back as soon as possible.
Kureha put the medical books he found out in a small box and handed them to Ian, who took them and found that they were quite heavy, so he said to Kureha, "Thank you!" ”
"You're welcome!" Kureha said, "But boy, I still like you to call me a beauty!" ”
"Haha!" Ian's bad taste came up a little, so he said, "Okay, beauty, do you want me to introduce you to a boyfriend?" There's a nice mature man in my pirates! ”
What Ian said is naturally Uncle Fuji Tiger, at Fuji Tiger's age, he deserves the word "mature"!
"Fuck off!" Kureha picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip, and said, "The man who pursues me can line up from here to the foot of the mountain, I rarely ask you to introduce me to a boyfriend?" ”
Ian laughed, put the bear-eared hat on his head, picked up the box, and said, "Goodbye!" Then he walked out of Kureha's house.
With the crisp sound of the bell on Ian's wrist, his figure gradually disappeared into the snowflakes in the sky, Kureha and Chopper stood at the door, listening to the sound of the bell gradually disappearing, Chopper suddenly spoke, enviously said: "Doctor Dorier, Dr. Silke is right, pirates are really the most romantic people in the world!" ”
As a result, Kureha reached out and punched Chopper in the head, saying, "Stupid! Do you know what romance is? If you don't let me go back and study medicine well, you see that no one will take you away, you must be afraid that you are not good at learning! ”
Chopper smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the hat on his head, but he was not depressed, he said longingly: "Doctor Ian is right, one day, I will also find a companion and go to sea together to be a pirate!" ”
In such a short period of acquaintance, Ian left a deep impression on Chopper's mind, Chopper remembered the cherry blossoms that bloomed on the top of the mountain, and also remembered the crisp sound of the bell when he left, so he even changed his name to Ian as a doctor!
Because in Chopper's philosophy, the doctor is the most amazing person, Dr. Silke is like this, and Doctor Doriel is like this, and in this day's acquaintance, Ian has also become another person that Chopper looks forward to the most......
When Ian returned to the port, he found that his small boat had been filled with large bags of food, and it was not necessary to think that it must have been placed by the people of the village to thank him, which made Ian very happy.
So he hoisted his sails again, and headed for Alabastan in the direction indicated by the permanent pointer.
It's just that what Ian didn't know was that just when he killed Valpo and turned the apple in his pocket into a Devil Fruit, another crucial Devil Fruit also appeared in the New World!
This is the food storeroom at the bottom of a pirate ship, and in this storeroom, stacks of wooden chests are stacked.
Generally speaking, the bottom storehouse is usually divided into two types, one is the ammunition depot for storing ammunition, and the other is the food depot for storing wine and food, for people who sail at sea all year round, the vitamins needed to maintain their body are generally derived from wine and food, but food, especially fresh fruit, is the most difficult to preserve.
Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of fresh fruits, that is, about a week, can only be placed in the refrigerator for a long time, according to this logic, it is best to choose canned food for long-term sailing.
However, there are many ships that usually bring a few boxes of fresh fruit when they are replenished, because people will always get tired of eating canned food, so every time they sail after replenishment, the people on board eat fresh fruit first, and then eat canned food.
In this storeroom, these boxes are stacked with fresh fruits.
At this moment, there was a violent shaking of the hull, and the stacked boxes were shaken and dropped two boxes, and because the base was relatively high, the top box was broken when it fell.
The contents of the box, the moment they fell out, emitted a burst of fruity aroma, this is a box of pineapples, because they have been stored together, these pineapples have changed from the original green, to the current gold, exuding an attractive taste.
However, in this golden color, there is a strange purple fruit mixed in!
This purple fruit has a pineapple-like square grid on the shell, but on top of these grids, there is a spiral pattern.
There is such a strange fruit mixed in a box of pineapples, if someone enters the food warehouse and sees it, it will definitely be very strange, but the people on this pirate ship can't care about anyone checking the warehouse at the moment!
There was another violent shaking, and the entire hull of the pirate ship was shaking, and on the deck of the ship, there were bursts of shouts of killing.
Obviously, this pirate ship is under attack from the enemy!
On the deck, a large number of pirates have been cut down to the ground, and the smell of blood permeates the entire deck, and most of the pirates who fell to the ground have the same tattoos, which means that they are members of a pirate group, and so many people have died, which also means that this pirate group has suffered a catastrophe.
And their opponent's ships, all around, surrounded them in clusters, a total of four ships.
These four ships, all under a unified flag, on the pirate flag fluttering in the wind, is a symbol that can make people fearful in the new world.
Whitebeard Pirates!
