"You mean...... Is he Kidd's distant cousin? ”

At the hospital in the town of Mordreld, the tall physician 'Dr. Satsuma' with a big back glanced at Kira, then went back and forth between Kidd and the seriously injured man lying on the hospital bed, and after a long time said:

"Hmm...... It's true that he doesn't have eyebrows and his eyes are vicious...... But Kidd, how could your cousin be so badly injured? Also, what is his name? I'll have to register in a while. ”

"He's he, he's called ...... It's called Rodan!! Kidd scratched his babbling red hair, and came up with a name: "Cousin Ratton, he was attacked by a bear!" So seriously injured! ”

Dr. Satsuma nodded: "There are claw marks on the body, that's right." What about the scorch marks and the notch in the left rib? And what's going on with his mouth? ”

“…………？？？” Kidd was dumbfounded, where did he come up with so many reasons?

Or Kira made up a story in the shortest possible time:

"That's right, Satsuma Doctor. Raton cousin he ...... He had planned to come to Mordreld to visit Kidd, who had lost his parents, but he was shipwrecked when he approached York Island, and his cousin swam and swam desperately, and he could be regarded as swimming to the 'jungled shore' of York Island. But how big is our York Island, cousin, he got so lost, and when he was tired, he built a fire and planned to roast something to eat, but accidentally attracted a wild giant bear. Cousin Raton and the Giant Bear started an earth-shattering fight with ghosts and gods, and for a while, the Giant Bear pierced the edge of the left rib with a 'Spiral Burst Fist', but the cousin also tried his best to beat the Giant Bear to the point of bruises! In the end, taking advantage of his cousin's unpreparedness, the giant bear used the 'Kumar Heaven and Earth Return' to throw his cousin into the fire, and even picked up a flaming sledgehammer to hammer his cousin's mouth to pieces! Cruel, especially cruel! Eventually, my cousin burst into infinite potential, tore the bear to shreds, and found me and Kidd. We brought my cousin to the doctor again for you, well, that's the way it is. ”

“…………”

Both Kidd and Dr. Satsuma, as well as the seriously injured man in the hospital bed, looked at Kira in silence. After a long time, Kidd woke up from a dream and shouted, "No, that's right! Cousin! You're so badly hurt!! ”

As he spoke, Kidd threw himself on the side of the hospital bed and faked crying loudly, and the seriously injured man could only reluctantly pat Kidd on the back.

Dr. Satsuma scratched the back of his head and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll treat him first, but you two have to make up for the consultation fee and medicine fee." ”

The two children, Kidd and Kira, can be regarded as the residents of Modreld Town, both of whom have lost their parents since childhood, and it is inevitable that they will go down the wrong path when no one teaches them, but fortunately, the adults in the town have been guiding them intentionally or unintentionally, but they have not made them go too crookedly.

The badly injured man with a vicious look knew at a glance that he wasn't a local, but since Kidd and Kira had carried him to the clinic, he couldn't ignore a life and just disappear in front of him. Forget it, save it, those two boys don't have the money to pay for the clinic anyway, so they don't care about this more time.

Thinking of this, Dr. Satsuma sighed, blasted Kira and Kidd out of the hospital room, and began to administer first aid to the seriously injured man.

Kidd looked at the closed room door and muttered, "Kira...... What kind of people did we save and come back? ”

"I don't know." Kira shook her head: "But one thing I can be sure of - he is definitely not an ordinary person. Kidd, do you want to just keep messing around in Mordreld? ”

Kidd, who was only 13 years old, had a very firm look in his eyes: "Don't!" I'm going to sea and become the new One Piece! ”

Having said that, both of them know very well that there is a great opportunity in front of them, and it depends on how to grasp it.

"Then again, what is his identity?" Kira folded her arms and tilted her head: "You say, will he be the enemy of the [Serpent King]?" ”

Kidd laughed: "Don't be funny~~ How can anyone be an enemy of the King of Snakes and escape alive?" ”

……………………

Two days later, Gurado finally woke up.

He found himself in an old hospital room, covered in bandages.

I clenched my fist, and my strength regained a lot. Touched the left rib and the wound was well treated. I moved my mouth again, and found that my upper and lower jaws were fixed by something like a plaster, so I simply stopped forcibly opening my mouth.

Fiasco! The biggest fiasco since going to sea!

The giant flying snake that soared through the storm and was shrouded in thunder shattered Gurado's confidence and pride.

Flying, stealth, manipulating the climate, driving thunder and lightning...... The other party has no weakness at all, and is as strong as a god. No, if you look at the type of Devil Fruit that the King of Snakes eats, the other party is a genuine [God]!

But things can be good and bad, after the disastrous defeat under the hands of the Serpent King, the physical injury has reached the limit, and the spirit that used to be affected and destroyed by the Devil Fruit every moment has actually been relieved, is this a blessing in misfortune?

If you continue to be controlled by the instinct of the Devil Fruit, sooner or later you will completely become a [monster] with residual instinct. The old witch doctor in the tribe is right, animal-based Devil Fruits are the most dangerous species for users, and if you don't have enough willpower, you will only become a tool controlled by Devil Fruits.

Just as Gulardo was using his cranky thoughts to distract from the pain, the door to the hospital room was pushed open.

The blonde Kira and the red-haired Kidd were quietly arguing into the house, and they were surprised to find that the seriously injured man who had been rescued was sitting on the hospital bed and staring at them both indifferently.

"Y-You're awake?" Kidd stammered, he couldn't blame him for being nervous, it was really the other party's oppressive force was too strong.

Kira was a little calmer and tried to pull the relationship: "Dr. Satsuma said that it will take you at least a week to wake up, your physique is really good~ Fa Fa Fa!" ”

As she spoke, Kira found that the other party's gaze was on the board in her hand, and she generously raised the board and shook it: "Your mouth can't be recovered, since you can't speak, then I think you can use writing instead, what do you say?" ”

After taking the board and pen, Gulardo glanced at the two of them, then brushed and wrote on the board, and when he was done, he held it up to the two men.

[You've both regained your human form? Zoology? 】

“？？？”

Kira and Kidd tilted their heads at the same time, big brother, what did you write? We all know words, how to form sentences and can't understand them?

Seeing that the two did not admit it, Gulardo shook his head slightly, wiped off the handwriting on the board and wrote a line of words very seriously, and then lifted the board up.

"I saw the faces of both of you when you saved me. You're all capable of being a guinea fruit, aren't you? 】

“！！？？”

Suckling pig? Is this guy making a mockery of the two of us being beaten to pigs' heads that day? Kidd and Kira were so angry that their mouths were crooked, and they could only desperately persuade themselves that the other side was a seriously ill patient and could not afford to beat them.

It seems that the communication between the three still has a long way to go.
