Chapter 48 The Will to Survive

The truth about what happened in White Town is a stain that the World Government will never be able to wash away. The unforgivable pirates shook their heads when they heard it, and the brutal kings of the member states felt that they were merciful and that the heavenly gold distributed among the people was better than losing their lives.

As long as the amber mine is not mined and buried underground, it has no effect on humans. However, humans cannot control their greed. The beautiful amber is mined and used almost everywhere. Decorations on buildings, ornaments on hands, and even tableware are made of amber. It has been used to a crazy extent.

Bringing wealth and prosperity to this ordinary place of Frevans, and the beautiful name of the White Town, the gift from fate had already been secretly marked with a price. The World Government and the royal family of this country knew that amber-lead ore was seriously harmful to the human body, but they did not order to stop mining.

For the sake of money, they chose to hide the truth from everyone. As a result, when PerkinElmer disease broke out on a large scale, the World Government took away the royal family of this country, leaving the citizens alone to die.

They spread rumors to the surrounding countries, saying that Perth's disease was a terrible infectious disease. The beautiful name of the White Town became a nightmare for neighboring countries, and they sent troops to block the town and prevent people from entering or leaving.

This kind of perlite disease can be inherited from generation to generation. The patient does not die immediately after the onset of the disease. Logically, he still has a few years to live. However, only the dead in the world can keep secrets.

The World Government also sent elite troops into Frevans to indiscriminately eliminate the survivors. The elderly, women, and children were all buried in the fire, completely covering up the dark past of the white town.

As Allen spoke calmly, everyone in the ward had a look of astonishment. These people had never heard of such a thing that went beyond the limits of humanity, and their impression of the World Government plummeted. They were still too kind.

"I am the adopted son of a nun in town. Unfortunately, my adopted mother was deceived. The World Government lied to her and said that they could provide a ship to let her and her children leave. As a result, she fell into a trap and was slaughtered."

Allen described the kindness of the nun in words, but unfortunately her kindness was exploited. She finally saved the child, but fell under the gun. This woman underestimated the world government's determination to eradicate the white town and did not even spare the most innocent children.

He was lucky to survive, because young Allen was standing at the back of the children. At the moment when the fully armed enemy opened fire, he managed to jump into the river and escape.

After drifting on the river for a day, when he returned to Frevans, he found that the once white town had been burned into a white land by fire. He also saw a large number of black people who were burned to death. He still remembered the horrific appearance of their death.

"This is really too much, they are really a bunch of bad people"

Luffy also stopped talking. He lost his appetite after hearing this.

"Didn't you ask the Navy for help later?"

The naive Princess Weiwei still believes in the Navy, this little master who only cares about food and not beatings.

"Looking for the navy? At that time, I saw soldiers in navy uniforms searching for survivors near the country. If I had asked them for help, I would not be standing here now."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Allen's mouth. After experiencing such a dark past, it was already the limit for him to remain rational. He was extremely disappointed with the World Government and the Navy.

Usopp interrupted and said, "Princess Vivi, if the navy is useful, you wouldn't have to ask us pirates to help you save the country."

Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a unit of the World Government's navy. It is a violation of justice for these once powerful pirates to have legal rights to plunder.

It is estimated that the World Government will turn a blind eye to things like stealing the kingship of a franchise country. As long as the matter is not brought to the surface, the Five Elders will not bother to care about such trivial matters. As long as the Kingdom of Alabasta pays the Heavenly Gold on time, it does not matter if they replace it with a more obedient king.

"It's been so many years since the White Town incident. Logically, the lead disease should have killed you long ago. How did you survive until now?"

Kuleha raised her own doubts. If Alan had inherited the terminal illness PerkinElmer, even if he was young at the time, he would not have lived to adulthood. Could it be that he had encountered the legendary Surgery Fruit?

The opponent showed the ability to transform into a giant. According to common sense, Eren is an animal-type devil fruit user. Even if his recovery ability after eating the devil fruit is stronger than that of ordinary people, he cannot survive until now.

"Chopper, lend me a scalpel."

The little reindeer rummaged through the medical bag for a scalpel and handed it to the cool man, who simply called him Chopper. He was very happy as long as he wasn't called "Civet Cat Chopper".

"The devil fruit I ate has some special abilities."

After saying this, Alan gripped the scalpel tightly in his right hand and stabbed it straight into his body. Blood flowed down the blade and stained his pants red.

"What are you doing? Why are you hurting yourself?"

As a doctor, Chopper can't stand others not taking care of their bodies. He immediately changed from a tiny guy into an animal-like human form, becoming a strong reindeer, and tried to snatch the self-harm tool from Alan.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just demonstrating my abilities. Look carefully at the location of my wound."

Alan endured the pain and pulled the scalpel out of his body. Under the gaze of everyone, a small amount of visible steam was seen emanating from the wound that was bleeding just now. The wound healed little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. It took only one minute until the injured skin was as good as new.

"What a magical devil fruit ability, could it be that you..."

Allen followed Kuleha's words and said that the witch doctor guessed correctly, "The human liver has the function of metabolism and detoxification. After a period of time, I will cut open my stomach myself and replace the diseased liver. In less than half a day, a new liver will grow in my stomach."

The people in the ward thought that the reason Alan was able to live until now was that he had to remove his own liver every time. This was simply a torture imposed on him, and he probably had to go through it every year.

"When I was a child, I had to have my liver replaced every two years. As I get older, the frequency of liver replacements is increasing. Now I have to have it replaced every three months. If I continue to delay this liver disease, I guess liver replacement will no longer be useful for detoxification."

When Alan talked about his own death, his face remained calm, which made everyone feel even more distressed. What kind of hardships did he go through to develop his current mental state?

"Has PerkinElmer's disease gotten into your head?"

"Yes, that devil fruit gave me the ability to regenerate. I have never tried brain transplants."

Continuously replacing livers is only a stopgap measure. In Kuleha's opinion, the PerkinElmer disease that Allen suffers from was brought from his mother's womb and has been in his brain since infancy, so his road to survival has long been blocked.

The amazing will that Eren Yeager exuded from within deeply moved the people present.
