Chapter 12: A Difficult Year
In the laboratory of the forest, the medicine that Ellie is researching is very mature.
"Ellie, what are you looking at?"
"Brother Carl, I'm reading a book about production, and I hope I can help Sister Lu Jiu when the time comes."
"Well, this is to take a closer look, by the way, how much have you made that medicine now?"
"Brother Carl rest assured, he has prepared enough. By the way, Brother Carl, why don't we leave now? Those navies won't be able to stop you. ”
"It's not that I can't leave, it's that I can't leave, and I can't leave since Roger this bastard came here. As soon as the person leaves, the agents of the world government will be able to investigate the clues, and they will suffer wherever they go when the time comes. It's only here and don't let them find out, and after they're gone, can the possibility of being found out be mitigated, you know? ”
"Oh, I see"
"Well, since the medicine has been developed, let's move back to the villa, and I'll go and dispose of those pirates first."
Carl drove those pirates to the depths of the forest and buried them directly, anyway, these people are not good people, they are all evil.
New World, near the Whitebeard Pirates' station
"Warring States, when will we go back, I've been staring at this for almost half a year, and I haven't seen any movements from this guy Whitebeard, so I shouldn't have to stare at it anymore, right?" Karp was a little anxious because he promised Roger to take care of his children.
"Not yet, although they don't move, it doesn't mean that there won't be action. Because we don't know what Roger told him, so wait."
"Alas~ Okay!"
On the island of Bamolila, two months have passed since the last incident, and the search of the Navy and World Government agents on the island has relaxed a lot, because they think that the person they are looking for has been rescued, and it is in the group of people who have been rescued.
"Not yet, not yet." Lu Jiu touched her stomach and said slowly. At this time, she was 11 months pregnant, and every time there was severe pain in her lower body, she endured it and did not give birth to the child.
"Sister, if you really can't do it, let's give birth now! Look how much pain you've gotten now! And those world government workers have relaxed their searches, and they also think that the target has been rescued. ”
"Carl, it's not okay yet, giving birth later will be less risky, in order to make this child live a safer life in the future, my pain is nothing."
"And hasn't Ellie already researched a life force-boosting drug? I believe in you, and I believe in Ellie's healing skills! ”
Looking at Lu Jiu, who couldn't persuade him, Carl knew that he could only compromise.
"Ellie, let's inject Sister Lu Jiu with the first medicine."
"Okay, Brother Carl, help Sister Lu Jiu back to the room first, I need to carefully observe the changes in Sister Lu Jiu's body for the first injection, and then I can determine the time for the next medication."
Fu Lu Jiu returned to the room, and then Ellie injected her with medicine, and after waiting for a while, Lu Jiu's face was much better.
"Sister Lu Jiu, how are you feeling now?"
"I feel stronger now than I was before the injection, and it doesn't hurt as much, Ellie, your medicine really works!"
"That's good!" Ellie said happily.
"Brother Carl, you go out first, and I'll check Sister Lujiu's body"
"Okay Ellie"
Carl returned to the hall and sat down, and it seemed that Ellie's medicine had worked, so that his sister could hold on until the baby was born and not have to risk giving her the Devil Fruit.
Although the Devil Fruit can also enhance the vitality and physique, but after the animal Devil Fruit is eaten, the person with a weak physique may directly go berserk and beast and cannot control the ability, and the Superhuman Devil Fruit only makes people have some kind of superpower, and the enhancement of the physique is not great.
It didn't take long for Ellie to come out
"Ellie, how's it going?"
"Don't worry, Brother Carl, Sister Lu Jiu is in good condition now, I have let her sleep, she hasn't gotten a good rest these days because of the pain."
"Well, I'm sorry for you, Ellie, by the way, Ellie, I have a Devil Fruit that suits you very well, the Superhuman Medicinal Fruit, do you want to eat it? But after eating it, you can't swim in the sea. ”
"Huh? Are you sure? Then I'm going to eat! I don't like swimming anyway! ”
"Then you wait, I'll go up and get it to you."
After saying that, Carl went up and took the Sydney-state devil fruit down.
"Here, Ellie, the Devil Fruit tastes terrible, you need to be prepared."
"It's okay, I often try all kinds of medicines, and I try a lot of unpalatable things."
Ellie took the Devil Fruit and took a bite, and then her face immediately changed, and she swallowed it hard and immediately ran out and vomited.
"Hahahahahaha~ Ellie, how does the Devil Fruit taste? Delicious, right? Hahahaha. ”
"Oh my God, how can there be such a bad thing! The moment I swallowed it, it felt like I was going to die, it was too unpalatable! ”
"Hahaha, Devil Fruit is known as the most unpalatable thing in the world. Here, take a sip of milk and rinse your mouth," Carl handed Ellie a bottle of milk.
Ellie drank a bottle of milk and said, "Whew~ I feel alive, I don't want to try this kind of thing again." ”
"Ellie, you have to remember, you can only eat one Devil Fruit for a person, and if you eat the second one, your body won't be able to withstand the explosion, you know," Carl said to her solemnly.
"Hmmm! I got it, Brother Carl! ”
"Now you can feel it and see what superpowers you have."
Ellie quietly sensed it and said, "I feel that I can more easily distinguish various medicines, and then know the medicinal properties of all medicines, and I can also use various medicines to create medicines with magical effects, and I have to slowly explore the specifics, and I can also optimize the medicine that enhances vitality to make it more suitable for Sister Lu Jiu's physique." ”
"That's even better, we'll have to work hard for our boat doctor in the future!" Carl said, touching Ellie's head.
"I'm not young, Brother Carl, I'm 13 years old! You see, I'm more than 1.6 meters! ”
"Good, good, not small. I'll go to the forest to catch an animal for tonight's dinner, and by the way, call your brother back, you stay at home and take care of Sister Lu Jiu."
"Okay Brother Carl, don't worry."
I caught a wild boar of about 500 pounds in the forest, and then found Benson, who was dragging a stone with an iron chain. Benson is only 14 years old now, he is two meters tall, and he has surprisingly great strength.
"Benson, let's get here today, go back"
"Okay captain, by the way, captain, today I met a big tiger in the forest, with great strength, and when he saw me, he rushed to my side, and finally we had a fight, and no one could help anyone, and then he ran away."
"That's just the king of this forest, I've met it before, then from tomorrow, you'll go to him every day to practice, now your simple training is limited, fighting with it can also improve your combat reaction ability, and you can better awaken and see the domineering"
"Okay, I got the captain."
"By the way, do you want to eat the Devil Fruit, I also have a Superhuman Cold Fruit and an Animal Bird Fruit here, which are in the form of ancient golden eagles."
Benson thought for a moment and then said to Carl, "Neither of these Devil Fruits feels like it's for me, I like the power-type ones, let's talk about the power-type Devil Fruits later." ”
"Okay, you just have to know it yourself, and I will try to find you a power-type devil fruit for you in the future, otherwise your talent will be wasted."
"Thank you, Captain!"
"Alright, let's go back first."
I didn't see Lu Jiu when I got home, "Ellie, isn't Sister Lu Jiu awake yet?" ”
"Not yet, she's too tired these days, it's good to sleep a little longer."
"Well, then I'll make dinner first."
"Brother Carl, I'll help you!"
"Okay!"
It's been an hour before dinner is ready
"Ellie, go and call your brother down, let's eat first, and I'll make another for her when Sister Lu Jiu wakes up."
Ellie went to Benson and shouted, Benson is also a big appetite, and the supplies on the ship will definitely be consumed quickly in the future, alas, a headache.
After dinner, Lu Jiu didn't wake up yet, and it seemed that she would sleep until tomorrow, so a few people washed up and rested.
The days passed day by day, and soon the end of the year 1499 was reached.
"Brother Carl, Sister Lu Jiu! Today I went to the town to buy fruit, and found that I couldn't see the navy anymore, so I asked and found out that they had left last night! ”
"Still can't be taken lightly, maybe they still have people in the shadows, anyway, the little guy is in good shape now, and he hasn't come out yet, let's take a look first."
"Okay sister, then if you feel pain, just say yes? I couldn't bear it this time. ”
"Okay Carl, I know you've been worried this year, and I'll listen to you next."
Because of Ellie's improved life potion, Lu Jiu's body is much better now than in the original book, but it is still very hard every day, after all, it is not comfortable to change anyone for so long with a big belly.
There were two days left before the Chinese New Year, and on this day Carl went to the town to buy supplies, and saw two men, Vice Admiral Karp of the Navy and his adjutant Bogart. They didn't wear naval uniforms.
"Hello Lieutenant General Karp, my name is Carl"
Karp seemed to be a little nervous when he suddenly appeared, after all, he came quietly, he didn't want to alarm others, and the person in front of him was obviously a strong man.
"Wha, hello Carl, do you have anything to do with me?" Bogart was also a bit wary.
"Relax Lieutenant General Karp, I'm Lu Jiu's younger brother, I think it should be Roger who asked you to come here, right?"
Hearing this, Karp relaxed his guard: "Yes! I'm sorry I'm just here now.,I've been on official duty in Shinsekai this year.,Because Sengoku can't leave at all.,Now I've just returned to the Navy Headquarters and I'm rushing over.,How is the child? ”
"The child has not been born yet, my sister is worried that she will be found by the world government if she is born too early, and she has never given birth, and recently the Cp organization of the world government has also withdrawn, and it is estimated that it will be born in this day or two."
"What? Not born yet? So how is your sister doing now? ”
