Chapter 313 Do you believe me? (revised)
Seeing Zefa looking so weak in front of him, Darren thought of Dolag immediately.
To be more precise, he was thinking of the Devil Fruit abilities of Ivankov and Xiong.
Ivankov's hormone fruit ability can increase the activity of cells by stimulating the body's potential, thereby temporarily gaining stronger power.
Bartholomew Bear's meat ball fruit ability can "shoot" the pain and fatigue in the target's body, thereby achieving the effect of making the injury recover faster and the body feeling more relaxed.
At that time, he was facing a fierce battle with the "Immortal Body" of the Five Old Stars on Felsek Island. It was by relying on the abilities of the two of them that Darren exploded with such shocking power as "tearing the Five Old Stars apart with his hands".
But Darren quickly dismissed the idea.
Teacher Zefa's physical condition is already extremely bad, and coupled with his own asthma, if Ivankov is forced to use hormone fruits to stimulate his physical potential at this time, it will most likely only lead to worse consequences.
The body's functions are about to collapse. Continuing to add pressure to the body at this time is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
As for the bear's ability, it should be able to play a certain role.
But bears can only "photograph" fatigue and pain, not the disease itself.
Therefore, it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. It can only slightly relieve Teacher Zefa's pain and make him less uncomfortable, but it cannot achieve the effect of curing the disease at all.
If this is the case, there is no need to go to the White Earth Island.
Going back and forth only wastes time and delays the opportunity for treatment.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Darren's brain was running at high speed and he fell into deep thought.
In this case, you can only find doctors, or those beings with special abilities.
The best doctor on the sea...
Darren frowned.
"Darren, if it doesn't work, let's go back to Malinfando."
At this time, a hoarse voice sounded from outside the door.
Darren looked away.
I saw the unshaven Jiaji walking in with heavy steps and a crumpled cigarette between his teeth.
"The headquarters has the most advanced medical equipment and technology in the sea. The doctors in the military hospital are also top-notch. Moreover, they also understand Teacher Zefa's asthma condition, making treatment more convenient."
Jiaji looked at Darren with his bloodshot eyes and forced a smile.
"...The Warring States generals can't really be so cruel."
As Jiaji said these words, everyone else present fell silent.
They surprisingly didn't object.
Even if they would most likely have to face a military court trial when they returned to the Navy headquarters, or even be directly executed by the World Government as a "defection" and "criminal", they would not have any objections.
From the moment they chose to follow Zefa and leave the navy headquarters, they had abandoned their personal life and death.
If I can save Teacher Zefa, everything will be worth it.
However, before Darren could speak, a weak voice sounded.
"No, I can't go back..."
The moment the words fell, everyone was stunned and quickly turned their eyes.
"Teacher Zefa!?"
"Teacher Zefa is awake!"
"Teacher Zefa, how do you feel?"
"Let's go directly back to the headquarters for treatment..."
"If it really doesn't work, we can just go back and kneel down before the Warring States General..."
"..."
Huo Shaoshan and the others looked at the teacher who slowly opened his eyes on the hospital bed, anxious.
"No, you can't go back."
Zefa did not look at any of them. He just looked at Darren quietly, smiled with difficulty, and said:
"Some things are more important than life, aren't they?"
Darren met Zefa's almost pleading gaze and suddenly sighed.
"You are such a stubborn old man."
After hearing these words, Zefa slowly exhaled, a smile on his pale face and said:
"Aren't you a stubborn brat too?"
Darren was silent for a second.
"Returning to the headquarters now is indeed not a wise choice."
He raised his hand, and blue arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from his fingertips.
Suddenly, more than a dozen steel bars and construction metal materials were drilled out of the ground. They quickly twisted and condensed into a huge box in mid-air, and "packed" Zefa's entire body inside!
There was only a palm-sized ventilation hole left, and Zefa's face could be clearly seen.
"You brat, what do you want to do..."
Darren raised his hand unceremoniously.
He put his index finger upright in front of his mouth, making a silencing gesture.
"Shh, be quiet old man, save some energy."
A clang!
The metal twisted, sealing Zefa's mouth like a mask, blocking his words, and he could only make a "wuwuwu" sound.
"The scolding is really fierce..."
Everyone listened to Zefa's "unexplained" whine, as well as the latter's glaring eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking secretly in their hearts.
He turned around and looked at Jiaji and the others.
They looked at Darren, waiting for his answer.
"I know you are worried about Teacher Zefa and hope that he can go back to Malinvando for treatment and get the best medical conditions."
"But I'm sorry... Our current situation is not suitable for returning to the headquarters."
Darren's eyes swept across each of their faces, and he said calmly:
"Although there is a kind of deterrence from the North Sea Fleet, we'd better not bet on the mercy of General Warring States."
Everyone was silent.
They couldn't help but think of the countless sabers and guns pointed at them and the cold expression of General Warring States when they were in Marinford that day.
"Do you believe me?"
Darren suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned.
They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Do you still need to ask this question?" Huoshaoshan said with a smile while biting a cigar.
"We are a 'life-long' friendship!" Jiaji squeezed his tired eyes.
"Although you are a scum, you are still reliable." Gion crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
Darren smiled.
"That's good."
He turned around and walked out the door.
The "iron box" containing the former admiral of the navy floated in the air, following his figure like a shadow.
"I will definitely find a way to save Mr. Zefa."
As soon as the words fell, the magnetic field became violent, and the arcs in the void flickered and moved.
Darren's figure, carrying the metal box, soared into the sky.
Everyone stared at his figure in a daze, disappearing in the distance in the blink of an eye. After a long silence, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Darren came back, all of them seemed to have lost their backbone, helpless and lost, and at a loss.
But when the man came back, most of their inner anxiety and worries disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It seems that as long as he is there, no matter what kind of problem it is, it can be solved.
This is the sense of security that Darren brings them.
If it is Darren, he will definitely be able to do it...they can't help but think in their hearts.
