Chapter 150 1517, setting sail again
"How long have we been here?"
Rhodes put down the wine glass in his hand and suddenly asked.
"It's almost five months."
Luo calculated the time and sounded a little emotional.
They set off from Feiyan Island and have only spent more than half a year so far, but they have stayed on this island for so long.
"It's time to continue our voyage!"
Rhodes turned to look at Luo.
"When can the next step of treatment begin?"
"According to our estimate, the second surgical treatment can be performed in ten days."
Luo responded immediately.
The 'sapphire scale' that Bonnie suffers from is a very rare and difficult disease.
Even in a major medical country like the Drum Kingdom, only one of the most powerful 'Doctors 20' had heard of it.
If Dr. Kuleha hadn't been well-informed, they might not have been able to find a cure.
Under the leadership of Dr. Kuleha, in the past six months, Luo and Dr. 20 have focused most of their energy on overcoming this disease.
They have carefully studied and deduced Bonnie's treatment plan for a long time.
"Ten days? Ten days from now happens to be the last day of 1516!"
Neru calculated the time.
"Then, let's start our voyage again on the first day after the New Year!"
Rhodes made a decision immediately.
Ten days later.
The heavy snowfall rarely stops on Cigu Island, where snow falls all year round. A ray of sunlight passes through the gap in the thick clouds and shines on Cigu Peak, shining golden light on the snow-covered Cigu Peak.
"It's so warm, this is the light of the sun!"
Bonnie stood in the snow, the sun shining on her lovely face.
Since discovering her illness, she has never seen the sun or been exposed to sunlight.
I haven't felt this warm feeling of sunlight shining on my body for a long time.
"Bonnie...!"
Big Bear looked at Bonnie with tears in his eyes.
“Thank you so much!”
The big bear turned around and saluted heavily to Kuleha and the other doctors.
If it weren't for the dedicated treatment of these doctors, Bonnie would not have been cured so quickly.
"Humph, I didn't do anything, I just gained a little more knowledge."
Kuleha turned sideways slightly and did not accept the big bear's salute.
"Besides, I have already accepted payment. It is reasonable to receive money for medical treatment."
"Anyway, thank you all doctors for your help!"
"And Mr. Chopper, your medical skills are also very good. Thank you very much for your help!"
"asshole!"
Although he was already familiar with everyone, when he heard Big Bear's solemn thanks, Chopper's body still twisted involuntarily, and a blush flashed across his face.
"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy."
"Humph, this brat is still far behind!"
Hearing the big bear praising Chopper, a smile flashed across Doctor Kuleha's face, then she quickly stopped and patted Chopper on the head.
"Moreover, the most important factor for the success of this treatment is the results of that Luo boy's surgery."
Medical lady Kuleha took a sip of wine. Even in the ice and snow, she still kept cool clothes.
"It is because of his ability that we are able to realize such a bold treatment plan."
"Moreover, although she seems to be fine now, she still needs rest and recuperation, and will have to undergo regular check-ups in the future."
"I know."
Big Bear glanced at Bonnie, who was having fun playing in the snow with Bebo and the others, with a gentle smile on his face.
···
On another peak adjacent to Cigu Peak.
Rhodes put the autumn water back into the scabbard.
Above him, a gap opened in the thick clouds, and the sunlight leaked through that gap.
On both sides of the ray of sunshine in the middle, snowflakes were still falling.
···
On the Cigu Peak, Rhodes wandered over and glanced at the group of people who were having fun over there.
Peijin and Xia Qi also regained their childlike innocence. They were having a snowball fight with Bonnie and the others. They used their abilities without any martial ethics to turn the snowballs into small bombs that made loud noises. Although there were no What kind of lethality, but it can shock the person who is hit.
"Now that the treatment is over."
Rhodes suddenly spoke.
"Then it's time for us to leave!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing the news that Rhodes was leaving, Chopper instantly exclaimed.
After getting along with each other for half a year, he has long regarded all the members of the Rhodes Pirates as friends.
Unexpectedly, I just saw a good friend being cured of his disease, and the next moment other good friends were about to leave.
"Hahahaha, don't be so surprised. There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever."
Rhodes knelt down and patted Chopper on the head.
As a reindeer who ate the "Everyone Fruit", Chopper has stronger intelligence than ordinary humans.
In the past six months of getting along, Rhodes could also feel the other person's longing for his group.
However, the other party is still too young now!
"However, the world is round and we will meet again eventually."
"I hope that when we meet next time, you will have become an excellent doctor, Chopper!"
"kindness!!"
Chopper bit his mouth, resisting tears from falling, and nodded fiercely.
"Then, before leaving, let's have one last grand banquet!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
Cigu Peak was suddenly filled with cheers.
The cheers and bonfires on Cigu Peak lasted all night, from 1516 to 1517.
···
"Everyone!"
On the coast, Chopper looked reluctantly at Rhodes and his party as they boarded the ship.
Chopper, who was kicked out of the tribe because of his blue nose since he was a child, has never had many friends.
Rhodes and his friends are his only friends in so many years!
And these friends are leaving now.
"We will definitely meet again on the sea!"
Rhodes looked at Chopper on the shore and Doctor Kuleha standing behind Chopper, smiled slightly, and waved to them.
The next moment, the sails of the Polar were raised. After dormant on Ciggu Island for half a year, the Rhodes Pirates set sail again.
But this time, what they are carrying is the name of the Shichibukai!
"Oops!"
Looking at Chopper's figure gradually disappearing from the shore, Gray suddenly slapped his head.
"Why, did something fall behind?"
Pekin looked at Gray strangely.
"I forgot to show Chopper my super robot transformation!"
"robot!?"
"Transformation!?"
Peijin, Xia Qi, and Bebo turned their eyes at the same time.
"Hmph~~"
Gray hummed contentedly and glanced at Rhodes and the others.
Look, this is a normal reaction, how does it look like some of them?
"Development of Tuntun Fruit?"
Luo Zhuangruo spoke inadvertently, but his expression was slightly unnatural.
"I want to see it too!"
Bonnie suddenly jumped out from the side, jumped on Bebo's shoulder and looked at Gray.
"Rhode?"
On the deck of the second floor, Rhodes looked at the noisy people below when Nailu suddenly walked up to him.
"kindness?"
"Big Bear?"
Nailu just said a name and said no more.
But Rhodes immediately understood what Nailu meant.
"They were just giving us a ride on our boat."
Big Bear is different from them all, this is a real holy mother.
He is a person who values other people's lives much more than his own, and is a person who can sacrifice himself for others without hesitation.
It is impossible for such a person to become their companion!
Although Big Bear is very strong and has very convenient abilities, if he forces the other party to join his group just for this reason, it will not be a good thing for both parties.
"Um."
Nairu nodded and said no more.
He is Rhodes' right-hand man, he only needs to remind Rhodes.
And after he reminded him, no matter what decision Rhodes made, he just had to follow Rhodes without hesitation.
"By the way, where are we going next?"
On the deck, Pei Jin, Xia Qi, Bebo, Brooke, and Bonnie were surrounding Gray, watching each other display the various transformations of the Tun Tun Fruit. The big bear was sitting on the deck, looking at Bonnie with doting eyes. Luo, on the other hand, pretended not to care and secretly paid attention to Gray's changes.
Nia was completely uninterested in Gray's robot transformation, so she jumped to the second floor deck and asked Rhodes.
"Alabasta!"
Facing Nia's curious eyes, Rhodes pointed at the permanent pointer placed at the rudder.
"Why choose there?"
"I remember that Crocodile, who is one of the Seven Seas of War with you, must be there."
"That's right!"
Rhodes nodded.
"That guy is a natural-type Shasha Fruit user who can exert 200% of his power in the desert. Crocodile has been active in Alabasta since many years ago.
That guy is now called a 'hero' by the people of Alabasta! "
"hero?"
Nia let out a laugh of unknown meaning.
"What are you laughing at!"
Rhodes adjusted the pirate tricorn hat on his head.
"We are the King's Shichibukai, and we are pirates recognized by the World Government as having the legal right to plunder!"
"We are now standing on the same front as the Navy. We are the Navy's companions who symbolize [justice]."
"In other words, we, the Shichibukai, are partners of justice!"
"Isn't it normal for a partner of justice to be called a hero by the people?"
"Haha~~"
A chuckle suddenly came from the side. Rhodes looked at Robin, who was holding a book and flipping through it. But he obviously heard what Rhodes said just now and was covering his mouth and laughing softly.
"Sorry~"
Noticing Rhode's gaze, Robin gently covered his mouth, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Normally I don't laugh."
"Forget it, just laugh."
Rhodes shrugged his shoulders, and there was a burst of cheerful laughter on the deck of the second floor.
"However, a big pirate, one of the seven warriors under the king, has always been entrenched in the first half of the Grand Route. It is a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it."
After laughing, Robin opened his mouth to express his doubts.
"There may be some conspiracy."
Nia sat on the side of the boat, her legs dangling.
"etc!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Nia suddenly jumped down from the side of the ship, her face excited.
"Could it be that the guy got some pirate treasure map, which marked the location of the treasure in Alabasta, so he has been secretly looking for the treasure in Alabasta for so many years!"
Rhode looked at Nia with a strange expression.
To some extent, her guess was not wrong.
"Okay! It's decided!"
Nia waved her fist.
"Let's kill him and take the treasure!"
