One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 289 Prequel to the O'Hara Incident (Part )
More than two months ago, Barrett, who was wandering around the world, came to O'Hara Island. At first, his arrival did not attract anyone's attention. Although he was tall, there were a lot of tall people in this world. As long as it was not too outrageous, there was no problem. What's more, Barrett was wearing a cloak and paid the docking fee. There was no pirate logo on his catapult, so naturally no one stopped him. Barrett just wandered around the island.

It has to be said that although O'Hara is a world-renowned island of scholars, it is not prosperous and the islanders living here are not very smart. The entire island's reputation is supported by the scholars in the center of the island. The common people in these peripheral cities are not even as good as many ordinary people. They are so close to the largest library in the world, but they are so ignorant. This is not a mockery, but a statement of fact.

In the eyes of these people, scholars are not people worthy of respect, but a group of freaks. This made Barrett frown unconsciously. He didn't understand why these people were like this. Barrett considered himself a rough man and he always believed in the power of fists, but this did not mean that he looked down on scholars. After all, the weapons he used and the catapults he drove were all researched by scholars and then made by craftsmen. In his opinion, the people here were simply unreasonable.

For this reason, Barrett did not stay in the village for long, but chose to go to the Tree of All-Knowing in the center of the island. After all, his original destination was there, to visit Captain Roger's old friend.

"Knock, knock, knock." Barrett knocked on the huge door of the Tree of All-Knowing Library. He could hear footsteps inside, but he waited by the door for a while, but there was no response. He knocked again, but still no response. What was going on? Couldn't the people inside hear it?

"Um, hello, sir." Just when Barrett was getting a little impatient, a timid voice came from beside him. Barrett turned around and found a girl who looked only five or six years old, standing there in tattered clothes, looking at him with some fear.

"Hello, kid, what are you doing here?" Barrett squatted down. He didn't think this was a scholar here. After all, such a young child, even in the country of endless war, children of this age were still in training instead of going to the battlefield, not to mention a profession like a scholar that requires time to accumulate experience.

"Well, I see you've been knocking on this. This is not the gate, it's just a decoration. The real gate is on the other side." The little girl pointed to the side, her movements were a little trembling. Barrett thought she was scared at first, but he soon found out something was wrong. The child's arm was not bent at the right angle, and there was an obvious pause when bending, accompanied by a twitch on her face. Barrett was very familiar with that kind of muscle twitching. It was caused by the pain after an injury.

This immediately made Barrett furious. Although he considered himself not a good man and had done things like destroying a country, Barrett never abused children. Young soldiers did not count. As long as they took up arms and went to the battlefield, they were enemies and had no other identity. But the child in front of him was obviously not that. She was just an ordinary child. Who on earth could actually attack such a young child?

Barrett's anger made his control over himself a little unstable, and his domineering aura was unconsciously released from him. The weather around him changed instantly, and dark clouds covered the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye. This sudden change alarmed the scholars in the Tree of Omniscience. They hurriedly pushed the door open and saw Barrett and Robin not far away.

"Stop! Don't hurt that child!" In Dr. Clover's eyes, Barrett and the child looked like a weirdo who wanted to hurt the little girl. Dr. Clover pounced on her without hesitation, hugged the little girl in his arms, and turned his back to Barrett.

Dr. Clover's action also made Barrett sober up instantly. He noticed that the people around him were so frightened that they could not breathe under his aura, especially the little girl, whose eyes even turned white. He quickly retracted his domineering aura, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated. Barrett looked at Dr. Clover with his back to him, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He could feel that Dr. Clover in front of him was an ordinary person, and an ordinary person had the courage to run over to protect a child under his domineering aura, which meant that this person's protective feelings for the child exceeded his fear of Barrett.

This also shows that the injuries on the child were not caused by this group of scholars, otherwise the doctor in front of him would not do such a thing. Barrett felt that he still had some ability to judge people.

"Who are you!" A scholar holding a book said to Barrett with some trembling.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm just a visitor. I was a little angry when I saw the injuries on this child just now. I'm really sorry." Barrett was not an unreasonable person. After confirming that the scholars in front of him were not the ones who hurt the girl, he slowed down his tone and said.

"What!? Robin is injured again!" Upon hearing Barrett's words, the scholars' first reaction was not to accept Barrett's apology, but to rush over and start checking the girl, Robin's condition.

"Heisenberg! Heisenberg! Bring the medical kit quickly! Little Robin's arm is dislocated!" a scholar shouted to the people behind him.

"Splint! Splint! Don't forget the splint! Her arm needs to be fixed!" another scholar shouted hurriedly.

"She has a dislocation, not a fracture! No need to fix it!" the first scholar shouted. "Dislocations also need to be fixed! To prevent secondary injuries!" the second scholar replied, and then the two scholars started arguing without paying attention to anyone around.

"Stop! The child is not dislocated, but has a muscle strain caused by trauma and cannot exert force! No need for a splint! Don't move her, is there any medicine for bruises and injuries?" Barrett couldn't bear it anymore. As a young soldier from the battlefield, he knew this situation very well. Although he was not a professional doctor, he still had the ability to save himself and check injuries on the battlefield. He understood that this group of scholars might be very smart and knew a lot, but at least when it came to medical injuries, they were still a little bit lacking, or it could be said that they only knew book knowledge, but could not apply it.

"Can you treat illnesses?" The two scholars stopped arguing and turned to look at him at the same time. The other scholars did the same. The one with a strange hairstyle, who should be the Dr. Clover mentioned by Captain Roger, also looked over.

"Learn a little and stop dawdling. Where is the medical kit?" Barrett felt a little headache. Are these people really scholars?

"Here it comes! The medical kit is here!" The scholar named Heisenberg ran out of the Tree of Omniscience holding a white box. Barrett took it and opened the box. It was okay, at least the variety was quite complete. Although it was arranged in a mess, at least he could still find what he wanted.

Barrett took out two ointments, mixed them together, bent down, gently lifted Robin's arm, and applied the ointment on Robin's arm as gently as possible.

"Okay, there's no problem. She should be fine after two days of rest. But remember to apply this ointment to her once a day for three consecutive days. Also, don't use any strength on your arms during these three days." Barrett stood up and said to the scholar in front of him.

"Can these two ointments be mixed together?" A scholar nearby took the ointment and asked curiously.

"It's really unclear. I've never thought about this before," said another scholar.

"It's okay for children, but not for adults. Mixing the two together is for quick effect and also for pain relief." Barrett helplessly watched these scholars start discussing as if they were alone. He felt like he was starting to have a headache. Why did these people seem like a group of curious babies? Barrett explained helplessly that these were all little tricks he learned on the battlefield. Of course, what he said about adults not being able to use them was not absolute. After all, there was no time to consider which ones to use on the battlefield, so just use whichever one was better.

"Thank you very much, sir. I was wrong about you just now." After Dr. Clover handed Robin in his arms to a scholar behind him, he stood up and said to Barrett.

"It's okay. I wronged you at first. I thought you were abusing the child. But what's going on with this child?" Barrett waved his hand and said.

"Alas, this child is also a poor creature. Let's go inside and talk." Dr. Clover sighed and made a gesture of invitation to Barrett.

"Okay." Barrett nodded. He originally came to see the Tree of All-Knowing and then communicate with Dr. Clover. Naturally, he would not refuse the invitation. A group of people rushed into the house. After placing Robin on a small bed, Dr. Clover poured Barrett a cup of coffee. After that, the two sat down, and Dr. Clover began to tell Robin's story.
