Chapter 156: Caring for Empty Nesters

"Ta Tata..."

Zoro and Nami ran over to the bag of fruit.

"Huh? No more!"

"You little brat!" Zoro pulled Luffy's collar, "The food I worked so hard to collect..."

"Anyway, let's go back to the boat and lie down." Sanji said as he stood up.

"Chirp, chirp..." Chopper walked out with his head lowered.

"Chopper, let's go back to the boat." Nami called out when she saw Chopper.

"I want to stay with Grandpa." Chopper said, "The first rule of Hippocrates' Code says that no matter where I am, whether I meet a man or a woman, a good person or an evil person, my only goal is to save the dying and the wounded, so that my life and medical skills can gain supreme glory... I cannot abandon the patients."

"He has recovered a long time ago." Usopp said, "There will be no end to the sympathy."

"No." Chopper still lowered his head.

"What did you say?" asked Zoro.

"No?" Luffy looked at the abnormal Chopper and asked with his head tilted.

"The old man's heart didn't stop because he was timid, he was sick," said Chopper.

"What you mean is..." Nami asked after she reacted.

"That's right, grandpa only has three days left to live." Chopper raised his head and said affirmatively.

"What?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally, everyone decided to see the old man off for the last time.

the next morning……

Wang Hao and Sanji prepared a sumptuous breakfast together.

"Ah~ I slept so soundly." The old man stretched lazily and walked out of the wooden house, sniffing his nose, "What a nice smell."

"Good morning, grandpa." Nami greeted.

"Breakfast is ready." Sanji said.

"What is this!" the old man exclaimed in shock.

"Sanji is a famous chef, and Wang Hao's cooking skills are not bad either, so the food they make is delicious." Luffy explained with a smile.

"The sheep on the island told us where to pick fruits and catch fish," Chopper added.

Then the old man was pulled to the tablecloth and Kuku started eating.

After dinner, everyone helped the old man build the boat, and Chaney directed everyone as usual.

During the conversation, Chaney said that this boat was his coffin and was going to be used as a grave when he got old.

While chatting, Chaney fell asleep, which scared everyone.

The next night, Wang Hao exited the island monument space...

"Where have you been?" Liu Yuting was watching TV in the living room and asked when she saw Wang Hao come out.

"An unnamed island full of goats. The next stop should be Lulujia Island, and then we should go to Moku Town on Gaya Island." Wang Hao exchanged information with Liu Yuting, "The next destination should be Sky Island. If you have nothing to do, you can come over."

"Sky Island? Does it really exist?" Liu Yuting asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Wang Hao nodded affirmatively.

……

At noon on the third day, Nami and Qiani were playing chess in front of the cabin.

Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Wang Hao brought a lot of supplies and prepared to make lunch.

"Sanji, help grandpa cook another big meal." Everyone put the ingredients in front of Sanji.

"Okay, leave it to me." Sanji said, rolling up his sleeves.

"Grandpa, if you have anything else you want to eat, or want us to do, you're welcome, just tell me." Usopp wiped his sweat and said, "We will do our best to help you."

"No, I can die without regrets like this," said Chaney.

"Don't say that." Luffy shouted.

"Even if it's only for a short time." Sanji called out.

"We should also be optimistic." Usopp continued.

"That's right, that's right." Wang Hao followed.

"As long as there's still breath left." The four of them hugged their heads and cried.

"Hey, don't you think it's a bit strange?" Zoro asked, squatting down.

"What's wrong?" Usopp asked.

"Didn't they say that grandpa only has three days left to live?" Zoro said to the old man.

"Yeah, only three days left," Sanji replied.

"You only have three more days to live." Luffy looked at Zoro.

"It's too short, I don't want it." Usopp shouted.

"That's absolutely right. It was really short. Three days passed in a flash." said Zoro.

"Yeah." The five people reacted and looked at Qian Ni, who was eating cheese and jumping around. Today was already the third day, and then they began to discuss this issue.

Chopper and Hanhan ran out of the cabin and wanted to give the medicine to Qianni, but Qianni refused to eat it. The two little guys walked in front of everyone disappointedly.

A group of people asked Chopper if he had been misdiagnosed.

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Chopper said, "But it wouldn't be bad if it was really a misdiagnosis."

"That's not the point!" Usopp stood up and said, "In that case, I have to leave this island no matter what."

"Yeah, we can't stay here drinking tea with the old man forever." Sanji stood up and said.

"I also want to go out to sea for adventure." Luffy said.

"Then it's settled." Zoro stood up and shouted to Nami, "Nami, let's set sail."

"Can you wait a moment?" Nami asked nervously.

"How long are you going to play?" Usopp complained, "I can't stop playing chess."

"I just can't stop." Nami said with sweat dripping down her cheeks, "I keep losing to the old man. I've even lost my ship to him."

"What!" Everyone roared with fangs.

"Is it acceptable for a pirate to lose his ship?" Usopp shouted.

"I will definitely win back, just wait for me!" Nami shouted.

"Check." Chaney won again.

Everyone hurriedly stopped Nami and told him not to go down.

"There's an earthquake!" Chopper crawled under the table and shook it hard.

"If you continue, you'll lose even your underwear!" Usopp shouted, kicking the table.

"If you want to get your boat back, you have to work on this island to pay back the money," Chaney said, holding the chessboard, then took out an abacus, "Let me calculate, it will take about 10 years of work."

"How's business?" Chaney said, then he came up to the group and asked with a funny face.

"Nami!" A group of people surrounded Nami and pulled her aside, otherwise she would continue playing chess.

"Sorry, I wanted to take this opportunity to find out the location of my grandfather's treasure." Nami said as she slumped on the ground.

"You are still daydreaming. Now that things have come to this, Zhi has abandoned his grandfather and run away. This is the only way." Usopp came close to Nami and whispered.

"I'm not doing that." Luffy retorted.

"What are you talking about, Luffy!" Usopp shouted, "If Zoro hadn't discovered it early, we might have stayed on the island and worked for the old man for the rest of our lives."

"That won't happen. Isn't the old man dying soon?" Wang Hao said with a wicked smile.

Everyone looked at Luffy and advised him to run away.

"No." Luffy said firmly, "If I lose the bet, I lose. I don't want to cheat."

“That’s right, we can’t lose our character.” Wang Hao said with a smile.

Usopp was still trying to persuade him when Robin's voice suddenly came from the other side.

"General..."
