Chapter 331 Arlong Pirates
The travel plan was temporarily canceled, and Mr. Rochester invited several doctors to his home that day to help with the physical examination.
Zhang Da was also a little dazed looking at the dazzling array of medical machines. He had never been to a hospital since he came to this world. He felt that the style of these doctors was completely different from Chopper in the anime, but was similar to the style of modern hospitals.
Mrs. Jane and Keya were urged by Rochester to do one test after another, and then listen to the doctor's explanation with the report.
As he spoke, the doctor became more and more excited: "It's a miracle, it's simply a miracle. According to the report of the last physical examination, the cardiopulmonary function of the madam and the young lady was seriously defective, but this time they are no different from normal people. Did you invite a good doctor?"
This was not the first time he had come to help with the examination. This disease, which everyone unanimously thought had no cure, was actually cured in a short period of time. If I could get to know such a famous doctor, maybe I would be lucky enough to learn something.
Rochester looked at his wife with joy, but felt a little embarrassed when he heard the doctor's question, not knowing whether he should reveal it.
Zhang Da also said directly: "It has nothing to do with medical skills, it's just a special healing ability."
"Ability?" The doctor hesitated for a moment, then understood instantly, with a disappointed expression on his face, "Is that so? Then there is nothing we can do. But I still want to congratulate Mr. Rochester. You and your family are really lucky."
The doctor was disappointed because he was about to lose Rochester, a big client - well, it's not that narrow-minded, it's mainly because he won't be able to meet famous doctors.
If the disease is cured through surgery or drugs, they can study it carefully, maybe they can make some great discoveries to improve the medical level of Donghai, and then gain fame and fortune. But there is no way to study unscientific things like ability, and it feels like they have missed out on hundreds of millions.
Rochester didn't know what the doctors were thinking, but he was so happy that he decided to double the doctors' consultation fees, and Wendy doubled it even more.
Although this still doesn't feel enough, he is currently immersed in joy and cannot think about so much for the time being. He will think about how to repay her later.
The meaning of temporarily rescuing Mrs. Jane and completely curing both mother and daughter are different. Rochester silently raised the standard of tonight's dinner by two levels.
However, after the dinner, Rochester began to doubt his life. Does he really need to pay the medical fee?
Because they got along quite well with Keya's family, Zhang Daye and his friends decided to stay here for a few days.
Mr. Rochester and Shark Chili chatted about many topics about successful men. They had a great time and gained a lot from each other.
In the eyes of Shark Pepper, Rochester has a successful career and a happy family, and there are many things worth learning from him. He even secretly asked him some emotional questions, and it seemed that Shark Pepper got good answers.
These days, Mrs. Jane has been watching Ke Ya and the others playing and is obsessed with petting cats. Xia Lulu simply suits her aesthetic taste. If nothing unexpected happens, she will start looking for a pretty little white cat in a few days. Seeing her excited look, Zhang Da casually recommended the cat food from Xiu Xiu's pet food store, which is of guaranteed quality and suitable for both humans and cats.
As she wished, Kaya went to her own farm and ranch with Wendy and Perona. At this season, there were only some cold-resistant crops such as radishes and cabbages on the farm, but the three little girls had a lot of fun pulling radishes together.
Tom had a very happy time these days. In addition to eating and sleeping, he also ran around with the little girls, especially on the ranch, where he enjoyed milking cows and stealing eggs, which were both entertaining and satisfying.
Although accidents such as being pecked by hens or chased by bulls occasionally happened, and the three little sisters were often implicated, fortunately no accidents occurred.
When the three little girls run away with Tom, they always gain bonuses to their movement speed, agility, health, and...reduced IQ.
For example, when they encountered a fence half a person's height, they neither thought of climbing over it nor crawling under it. For example, they could obviously run separately, but they insisted on competing to see who could run faster. For example, Perona always remembered to use her ability after being chased from one end of the pasture to the other.
The Rochesters, who watched their daughter playing these days, felt that their hearts had been well exercised. If Zhang Da had not patted his chest to guarantee their safety, and they had never seen Kaya so happy, they would have stopped it long ago.
Even so, Rochester still decided to designate the ranch as a forbidden area for Keya after Zhang Daye and the others left. It was so scary. The cat even dug its own grave.
I don't know what Usopp has been doing these days. I haven't seen him since that day. I hope he is okay.
It was Merry who cautiously asked to visit the Amber. He said that he was designing a ship and had been working hard to perfect it since he was very young, hoping to build it one day.
Zhang Da also readily agreed. It seemed that the Merry would still appear, but it was unknown who would get it in the end.
Although I had a lot of fun here, the day of farewell has finally come.
Ke Ya reluctantly said goodbye to Wendy and Perona, tears in her eyes, hoping that the two little sisters would come to see her again in the future.
Wendy tried her best to act like a sister and comfort Keya, but as she spoke she was also infected and almost cried.
Perona was very powerful. She directly instigated Zhang Da to kidnap Kaya.
Zhang Da also tapped her on the head and said, "Don't have any bad ideas. Ke Ya has her own family. How could she be willing to follow us around the world?"
Perona covered her head and said dissatisfiedly: "What does it matter? Anyway, you are the best at dealing with children. At worst, you can kidnap her family as well."
"Your way of thinking is suitable for Liangshan, girl. I think you deserve a beating."
Perona snorted, knowing there was no hope, and hurriedly ran to say goodbye to Kaya.
Before boarding the ship, Rochester took the suitcase from Meli and wanted to give it to Zhang Daye: "These are the medical fees for Miss Wendy. Although it's not much, it's a small token of our appreciation."
Zhang Da also looked at the size of the box and felt that it was at least a reward for a Crocodile, so he declined, "No need for that. Wendy won't accept it. She and Ke Ya get along very well, so why would she accept money from her best friend?"
In fact, Zhang Da was well aware of his companion's appetite. He had been eating and drinking for free and letting Tom, the house-wrecking king, have fun for so many days, so he didn't feel comfortable charging him any money.
"This is not the same thing..." Rochester obviously didn't care about these things. His family had more than just property on this island. Just based on the fact that he cured his wife and daughter, he didn't care whether it meant demolishing one or two ranches or eating up one or two farms.
"There's really no need to do this. I'm really sorry for disturbing you for so long."
In the end, Zhang Da did not accept the money. After Wendy and Perona exchanged small gifts with Kaya, they said goodbye and left on the boat with their companions.
The sails were blown up and the boat left the shore. Keya waved her hands desperately until she could no longer see the people on the boat.
Keya turned around, put her hands behind her back, looked at her parents with big eyes, and said seriously: "Dad, Mom, I want to be a doctor."
"Why?" Rochester asked.
"Because I want to be as powerful as Sister Wendy and be able to cure any disease, so that Mom and Dad don't have to worry about getting sick in the future."
Mrs. Jian said worriedly: "Studying medicine is very hard."
"It doesn't matter!"
"Then work hard." The Rochesters did not persuade them any further. It was a good thing for their child to have such a dream. It would be best if he could succeed, but if he failed... it didn't matter.
On a rooftop, a long-nosed boy stared blankly at the cat-head flag fluttering in the wind, muttering to himself in confusion: "What should I... do?"
…
A large red sailing ship was moving quickly, with a jagged shark skull carved on the bow and white sharp tooth-like patterns decorated on the hull. The flag hung on the flagpole replaced the skull in the middle of the ordinary pirate logo with a red shark pattern. The whole ship looked hideous and terrifying.
At this time, the force that enabled the ship to move forward quickly was not the wind, but a huge sea monster that looked like a cow.
"New, Brother Arlong, why do we have to go to the East China Sea? Isn't it good to sail in the Grand Line like before?" Octopus Hachi spoke with a unique habit. He had been in the Sun Pirates with Arlong. At that time, everyone sailed freely in the Grand Line. Although they were once hunted by the navy, Hachi felt that they had a very happy time.
Arlong has always been kind to his compatriots, and explained patiently, "This is the strategy. We will start from the weakest sea that is not valued by the World Government to build our power and accumulate money. Then one day we will let Jinbei and Princess Otohime know that they are wrong. Fishmen should rule over those inferior races that cannot breathe underwater!"
"Nyu, but I think Princess Otohime..."
"Xiao Ba!" Kroobi, who was wearing a dark blue martial arts uniform, stopped Xiao Ba from saying, "Brother Aaron will not be wrong. We just need to do what Brother Aaron says."
"That's right!" A group of mermen echoed Kroobi's words, imagining a bright future in which they would use the powerful force of the mermen to rule over all humans in the East China Sea, and then slowly rule the entire world.
As their captain, Aaron was not as optimistic as his companions.
In fact, if you can make a living on the Grand Line, who would want to go to a place like the East China Sea?
Aaron once thought that he, Boss Tiger, that guy Jinbei, and the other fish-man brothers could dominate the Grand Line and beat everyone, because the fish-man clan is invincible in this place where most of the area is sea.
It wasn't until Brother Tiger was murdered that Aaron went for revenge and met the wretched man who could defeat him with just one finger.
It turns out that humans are so strong...
Although he refused to admit it, Aaron had already realized it in his heart.
Later, after Jinbei became one of the Shichibukai and was released, Arlong broke up with Jinbei and the two had a "big fight". To be precise, Jinbei unilaterally beat Arlong.
At that time, Arlong realized that the Sun Pirates' success in the Grand Line might have little to do with his strength.
It's nothing just like this. Aaron thinks it's not shameful to lose to Jinbei, who is also a fishman, even if it's that wretched man. Aaron heard that he was promoted to admiral of the navy. Admiral, he should be one of the strongest people in the entire navy. It's nothing to be caught by such a person, right?
Ignoring his fellow Jinbe and monsters like the admiral, he should still be strong, right? Arlong tried to tell himself this, and reorganized the Arlong Pirates. (Arlong originally had a pirate group, but after Tiger appeared, he directly merged into the Sun Pirates, so it was called a reorganization)
Full of confidence, Arlong plans to make a name for himself again with his pirate group - of course, he has to avoid the admirals and stay away from the Navy Headquarters.
In fact, he did so, and successfully made the people on several small islands in the Grand Line feel the fear brought by the murlocs, and the Navy offered a reward of 20 million berries for him.
They were very excited when they got the news and planned to go to an island to celebrate. It was on that day that Aaron met a sturdy blind man.
While the others were drinking happily, Aaron was planning to go out for a walk and then he saw a scene he would never forget.
When the blind man drew his sword, a house disappeared. When he put the sword away again, a meteorite with blazing flames fell from the sky and sent all five pirate ships that were about to attack the island into the bottom of the sea.
After that, this person walked towards Aaron with the cane knife in his hand, feeling his way, as if nothing had happened. Aaron was completely frozen. Another monster. Is my journey over here?
"Excuse me, young man, do you know where there is a casino?" asked the blind man.
"I just came here to drink." For some reason, Aaron explained his purpose first, and then said in the gentlest tone of his life, "Go a few hundred meters forward and ask . It looks like a residential area there, with more locals."
"Really? Thank you very much."
Tap, tap...the sound of the blind stick hitting the ground was getting farther and farther away, but Aaron's heart was still beating rapidly at that frequency.
"I survived... The Grand Line is still too dangerous..." Aaron almost collapsed on the ground, but he turned around and ran back to the tavern with all his strength, waking up all his drunk companions, "Set sail, set sail immediately!"
For the first time in his life, Aaron paid the bill in a tavern owned by a mere human.
In Aaron's plan, they should go to Forshat Island to find the little girl that Big Brother Tiger insisted on sending back - regardless of whether it was out of his will or not, she was the bait used by capture Big Brother Tiger. Big Brother Tiger was gone, so why was the bait still alive?
But it doesn't matter now. Aaron feels that what he has to do now is to leave the Grand Line. He can't throw away his life and the lives of his compatriots here for a mere human little girl!
