Chapter 12 A Difficult Year

In the forest laboratory, the medicine Ellie is researching is already very mature.

"Ellie, what are you looking at?"

"Brother Karl, I am reading a book about childbirth. I hope I can help Sister Lujiu by then."

"Well, I need to take a closer look at this. By the way, how much of that medicine have you made now?"

"Brother Carl, don't worry, we have prepared enough. By the way, brother Carl, why don't we leave now? The navy will definitely not be able to stop you."

"It's not that I won't leave, it's that I can't leave. Ever since that bastard Roger came here, I can't leave. As soon as someone leaves, the agents of the World Government will be able to investigate for clues, and they will suffer disaster wherever they go. Only by being here without letting them find out, and waiting for them to leave, can we reduce the possibility of being detected, do you understand?"

"Oh, I get it"

"Well, now that the medicine has been successfully developed, let's move back to the villa. I'll deal with those pirates first."

Karl drove those pirates deep into the forest and buried them directly. Anyway, these people were not good people, they were all guilty of evil deeds.

New World, near the headquarters of the Whitebeard Pirates

"Warring States, when can we go back? I've been watching him for almost half a year, and I haven't seen Whitebeard do anything. I don't think I need to watch him anymore, right?" Garp was a little anxious, because he promised Roger Take care of his children.

"Not yet. Although they haven't taken any action, it doesn't mean there won't be any action. Because we don't know what Roger told him. Let's wait a little longer."

"Oh~ okay!"

On Batelila Island, two months have passed since the last incident. The navy and World Government agents have relaxed their search on the island a lot because they believe that the person they are looking for has been rescued and is being rescued. Among the group of people rescued.

"Not yet, it's not time yet." Lu Jiu said slowly, touching her belly. At this time, she was already 11 months pregnant. Every time she felt severe pain in her lower body, she endured the pain and refused to give birth to the child.

"Sister, if you can't help it, just give birth now! Look how painful you are now! Moreover, those World Government staff have relaxed their search, and they also believe that the target has been rescued."

"Karl, it's not right now. If you give birth later, the risk will be reduced. In order to make this child live a safer life in the future, my pain is nothing."

"And hasn't Ellie already developed a medicine to enhance vitality? I believe in you and Ellie's medical skills!"

Seeing Lu Jiu who couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried, Karl knew he had to compromise.

"Ellie, give Sister Lujiu her first injection."

"Okay, brother Karl, help Sister Lujiu back to the room first. I need to carefully observe Sister Lujiu's physical changes for the first injection, and then I can determine the time for the next dose."

After helping Lujiu back to the room, Ellie injected her with medicine. After waiting for a while, Lujiu's complexion improved a lot.

"Sister Lujiu, how are you feeling now?"

"I feel stronger now than before the injection, and the pain is not that bad. Ellie, your medicine really works!"

"That's good!" Ellie said happily.

"Brother Karl, please go out first and let me check Sister Lujiu's body."

"Okay Ellie"

Carl returned to the hall and sat down. It seemed that Ellie's medicine had worked, so that his sister could hold on until the baby was born without risking giving her the Devil Fruit.

Although Devil Fruits can also enhance vitality and physical fitness, people with weak constitutions may become violent and violent after eating the Animal Devil Fruits and cannot control their abilities. Superman Devil Fruits only allow people to have some kind of super power and enhance their physical fitness. Not big.

It didn't take long for Ellie to come out.

"Ellie, how's it going?"

"Don't worry, brother Karl. Sister Lujiu is in good condition now. I have put her to sleep. She has not had a good rest these days because of the pain."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Ellie. By the way, Ellie, I have a devil fruit here that is very suitable for you. It is a superhuman medicine fruit. Do you want to eat it? But after eating it, you can't swim in the sea."

"Ah? Really? Then I want to eat! I don't like swimming anyway!"

"Then wait a minute, I'll go up and get it for you."

After saying that, Karl went up and got the pear-like Devil Fruit.

"Here, Ellie, the devil fruit tastes very unpleasant, you have to be prepared."

"It's okay. I often try various medicines, and I've tried a lot of unpleasant things."

Ellie took the Devil Fruit and took a bite. Then her expression immediately changed. She swallowed it with difficulty and immediately ran out to vomit.

"Hahahahahahaha~ Ellie, how does the devil fruit taste? Is it delicious? Hahahahahahahaha."

"Oh my God, how could there be such an unpalatable thing! The moment I swallowed it, I felt like I was going to die. It was so unpalatable!"

"Hahahahaha, Devil Fruit is said to be the most disgusting thing in the world. Come on, take a sip of milk and rinse your mouth." Carl handed Ellie a bottle of milk.

After drinking a bottle of milk, Ellie said, "Huh~ I feel alive. I don't want to try this kind of thing again in the future."

"Ellie, you have to remember, a person can only eat one Devil Fruit. If you eat the second one, your body will not be able to withstand the explosion, you know?" Karl said to her seriously.

"Yeah! I know, brother Karl!"

"Now feel it and see what superpowers you have."

Ellie quietly felt it and said, "I feel that I can distinguish various medicines more easily, and then know the properties of all medicines, and I can also use various medicines to create medicines with magical effects. I have to be slow in detail. Take your time and explore, as for the medicine that enhances vitality, I can also optimize it to make the medicine more suitable for Sister Lujiu's physique."

"That's even better. Let's work hard for our little ship's doctor from now on!" Carl said, touching Ellie's head.

"I'm not young, brother Karl, I'm already 13 years old! Look, I'm over meters tall!"

"Okay, okay, you're not young anymore. I'll go to the forest to catch an animal for dinner tonight, and call your brother back by the way. You stay at home and take care of Sister Lujiu."

"Okay, brother Karl, don't worry."

I caught a wild boar weighing about 500 kilograms in the forest, and then found Benson who was dragging a stone with a chain. Benson is now only 14 years old, already two meters tall, and surprisingly strong.

"Benson, let's go here today and go back."

"Okay Captain, by the way, Captain, today I met a very big tiger in the forest. It was very powerful. When it saw me, it rushed towards me. In the end, we had a fight. No one could do anything about it. , and then he ran away."

"That's just the king in this forest. I've met him before. Starting from tomorrow, you will go and spar with him every day. Your improvement through simple training is limited now. Fighting against him can also improve your combat response ability. It can also better awaken the domineering energy of seeing and hearing.”

"Okay, I got it Captain."

"By the way, do you want to eat Devil Fruit? I also have a Superman-type Cold Fruit and an animal-type Bird Fruit, which are in the form of an ancient golden eagle."

Benson thought for a moment and then said to Carl, "Neither of these two Devil Fruits seems suitable for me. I like the power type. Let's wait until we have a power type Devil Fruit in the future."

"Okay, just know it yourself. I will try my best to find you a powerful Devil Fruit in the future, otherwise your talent will be wasted."

"Thank you Captain!"

"Okay, let's go back first."

I didn't see Lujiu when I got home, "Ellie, isn't sister Lujiu awake yet?"

"Not yet. She is too tired these days. She might as well sleep a little more."

"Well, let me make dinner first."

"Brother Karl, let me help you!"

"Row!"

It's already been an hour since dinner was ready

"Ellie, go and call your brother down. Let's eat first. When Sister Lujiu wakes up, I'll make something else for her."

Ellie went to Benson and shouted down. Benson also has a big appetite. The supplies on the ship will definitely be consumed very quickly in the future. Alas, it gives me a headache.

After dinner, Lu Jiu still hadn't woken up. It looked like she would sleep until tomorrow, so the others went to wash up and rest.

The days passed day by day, and soon it was the end of the year 1499 in the Haiyuan calendar.

"Brother Karl, sister Lujiu! Today I went to the town to buy fruit and found that the navy could no longer be seen. After asking, I found out that they had evacuated last night!"

"We still can't take it lightly. Maybe they have someone in the dark. Anyway, the little guy is in good condition now and doesn't look like he's about to come out yet. Let's take a look first before talking."

"Okay sister, if you feel pain, just tell me immediately, okay? I can't bear it this time."

"Okay Carl, I know this year has made you worried, and I will just listen to you in the future."

Because of Ellie's improved life potion, Lujiu's body is now much better than before, but it is still very hard every day. After all, it is uncomfortable for anyone to have a big belly for so long.

There are only two days left for the Chinese New Year. On this day, Carl went to the town to buy supplies and saw two people, Lieutenant General Karp of the Navy and his adjutant Bogart. They were not wearing navy uniforms.

"Hello Lieutenant General Garp, my name is Carl"

Garp seemed a little nervous about the sudden appearance of the young man. After all, he came quietly and didn't want to alarm others. The person in front of him was obviously a strong man.

"Hahahaha, hello, brother Carl, what do you want from me?" Bogart was also a little wary.

"Relax, Lieutenant General Garp, I am Lujiu's younger brother. I think it was Roger who asked you to come here, right?"

Hearing this, Garp relaxed his guard, "Yes! I'm sorry to have come now. I have been performing official duties in the New World this year, because the Warring States Period has also been unable to leave. Now I have just returned to the Navy Headquarters and I rushed over. What's wrong with the child?" Are you ready?"

"The baby hasn't been born yet. My sister was worried that she would be found out by the world government if she was born too early, so she never gave birth. Recently, the CP organization of the world government also withdrew. It is estimated that the baby will be born in the next day or two."

"What? Not born yet? So how is your sister doing now?"
