How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 197 Is it really okay for this thing to cure me?

Ikalem was silent for a moment.

In his eyes.

The only connection between the monster last night, who had no murderous intent at all but could overwhelm everyone with his courage, and the knight was his overly handsome face.

"Lady Vivi, even if we don't rely on the power of pirates, we can still rely on the World Government."

Weiwei's eyes showed a hint of self-mockery:

"Rely on the World Government to expel the Shichibukai who have been authorized by them?!"

"Do not be silly."

"Even if we want the navy to take action, we must have evidence. But now, apart from the two of us, where are the others who saw Crocodile abusing the dancing powder?"

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes..."

"The witnesses were buried in the desert by his own hands."

As she spoke, Vivi's body was shaking.

Ikalem on the side was speechless. He raised his head subconsciously and saw Weiwei's increasingly determined gaze:
"Convincing Knight Gawain to take action is our best and only chance!"

"Otherwise, if Crocodile strikes first, even if the navy arrives and drives him away, the damage caused and the deaths of civilians cannot be compensated."

“This is a responsibility I must bear!”

Ikalem opened his mouth.

For the first time, I saw in Weiwei the awareness that a crown prince should have.

"But what can we do as prisoners?"

Weiwei took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and began to sort out the clues in her mind:
"Perhaps out of absolute confidence in his own strength, Knight Gawain did not restrict our actions on this ship. This is our opportunity."

"To convince him, you must first understand him."

"Since we can't communicate with him directly, let's learn about him from the mouths of his crew members."

"At least we still have a chance before we return to Aruba."

Ikalem's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He pondered for several minutes.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Weiwei's plan is feasible.

After all, what Vivi said was right. If they delay for another day, more people in Alabasta will suffer because of Crocodile's existence.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not give it a try?

Besides, Weiwei is the type of person who does what she says.

When he found out that Crocodile was using dancing powder, he took immediate action, even going so far as to escape from the Alabasta Palace and make the bold decision to infiltrate Baroque Works.

"I see."

"Master Weiwei, I support your decision no matter what."

Ikalem placed his palm on his chest, his eyes full of enthusiasm:
"I will perform my duties as captain of the guard until the moment of my death."

Weiwei nodded heavily:

"First, take care of your wounds, and then look for a suitable target. As for Mr. Gabra, we need to help him out of this predicament."

"After all, they were involved in this incident because of us."

Ikalem nodded, but his brows slightly frowned:
"Speaking of which, the man dressed as a shipwright with a pigeon on his shoulder in the Gawain Pirates seems to be an old acquaintance of Mr. Gabra's team."

"Perhaps we can also use this clue to try to understand the character of the knight Gawain."

"Ah."

……

The two of them temporarily decided on a follow-up action plan, originally intending to wait until Ikalem recovered from his injuries before taking action.

But they didn't expect the opportunity to come earlier than they expected.

into the night.

The sky outside the window is full of stars, and the sea breeze blows in from the porthole, bringing a hint of coolness.

Weiwei closed the porthole and turned around to see a familiar figure.

"You are... the raccoon cat, no, Mr. Reindeer?!"

Chopper was a small guy with a big medicine box slung around his waist. He was standing at the door, looking into the house with a nervous look on his face.

Obviously because of what happened yesterday, he was still a little wary of Weiwei and others.

"I'll help the patient change the dressing."

Weiwei was stunned when she saw Chopper dressed as a doctor:
"Mr. Reindeer is the ship's doctor?"

"Of course!"

Chopper raised his chin slightly and patted his chest confidently, looking proud.

Since he came on board, he took over the job of ship doctor on Gawain's ship. With the flattery of his two deputies, he gradually became confident in medical skills.

"I am the chief doctor on this ship!"

Chopper's attitude, coupled with his appearance like a plush toy, made Vivi instinctively like him, and a doting smile appeared on her face.

Thinking of her actions last night, she couldn't help but say:

"I'm sorry, Dr. Reindeer~"

Chopper was startled, raised his little hoof and touched his head, his eyes narrowed with a smile:

"Of course I can't say it's okay, asshole!"

Weiwei was stunned by his inconsistent behavior:

"Can I understand that...it has forgiven me?!"

"Maybe."

Beads of sweat appeared on Ikalem's forehead.

He really found it hard to connect the cute little thing in front of him with the monster from last night who was over four meters tall and covered with explosive muscles.

"no……"

"Why do you, as a doctor, have such a strong body?!"

"Such a powerful force."

Upon hearing this, Chopper stretched out his little hoof and shook it towards Ikalem, his eyes sharp as he said:

"No!"

"It is precisely because I am a doctor that I need to have a strong body and great strength!"

Ikalem was puzzled:
"why?"

Chopper walked quickly forward and placed the medicine box next to Ikalem.

next moment.

Chopper's body expanded and turned into a muscular man over four meters tall with thick hair all over his body.

For a moment, the ward was filled with the atmosphere of philosophy.

“What is a doctor’s duty?”

Ikalem subconsciously clutched the quilt on the bed to his chest and said:

“Cure…cure illnesses and save lives?!”

"That's right!"

Chopper nodded:
"But don't you notice anything wrong?"

"Forehead……"

Before Ikalem could finish, Chopper explained:
"Why do doctors always try to undo things after the fact?!"

"To know."

"Even if our companions' diseases and wounds are cured, the pain they endured cannot be compensated!"

“So we have to solve the problem fundamentally!”

These words almost coincide with Vivi's previous views on Alabasta and the navy.

By the time everything happens, it is already too late. Making amends afterwards is never as good as nipping the evil in the bud!
this moment.

Weiwei took a steady breath, and when she looked at Chopper, there was already a hint of a close friend in her eyes:

"That's right, so we should nip the evil in the bud before it happens!"

But there was also a hint of confusion in Weiwei's eyes:
"But as a doctor, how do you do this?"

"It's very simple."

Chopper, who has transformed into a human form, is extremely strong, and even the expression on his face has become extremely confident. Not only his body is expanding, but also his heart, because the strong power brings the feeling of being in control of everything.

"As long as we defeat all the enemies before our companions get hurt, no one will get hurt!"

"This is the so-called panacea, and it is also the treasure that Doctor Shilluluk left me."

between words.

Chopper closed his eyes and placed his large, fan-like hands on his chest with a pious expression, like a believer praying.

But when Ikalem saw this scene, he felt a chill down his spine.

Something is wrong!
Although I can’t say what’s wrong, this theory is definitely problematic. After all, whose doctor’s job is to fight?

no……

Is it really okay to let this thing heal me?
Ikalem looked at Vivi for help, but he only saw Vivi touching her chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.

Are you still thinking about this obviously wrong argument?
The cook is undoubtedly a sex maniac, the ship's doctor is a reindeer with a head full of muscles, the captain is a smiling tiger, and there are so many powerful monsters...

Can this group really pull Alabasta out of the abyss instead of pushing it into another abyss?

Ikalem suddenly felt that what he said to Weiwei was a bit impulsive.

"Lady Weiwei, how about we just run away?"

"slip?"

Weiwei shook her head:

"Ikalem, Dr. Chopper has the same philosophy as me."

"If we put his words on the level of Alabasta, wouldn't it be to expel Crocodile in advance before any harm is done?"

“This is a good doctor!”

Chopper opened his eyes and looked at Vivi, his gaze sharp:
"So your dream is to heal a country? This is really similar to Dr. Hiluluk~"

"If he were still here, you would definitely be friends."

Weiwei shook her head, looked at Chopper, and said firmly:

"No!"

"We'll be great friends!"

She stretched out her hand and clenched her fist, pressing it against Chopper's big hand.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly.

Damn it, Lady Weiwei has also been possessed!
Seeing this, Ikalem gripped the quilt in his hands even tighter. The big man, over two meters tall, now looked as helpless as a child.

Something is wrong!
There's something wrong with Gawain's pirate group. These guys have problems with their brains!
I can't let Lady Weiwei stay here any longer. I must do something...

"This patient, please cooperate with me."

Chopper turned around and walked towards Ikalem. With every step he took, Ikalem felt the floor vibrate, and the sound in his ears was like the devil's low moan:

"You are badly injured."

"Lucci's strength ranks among the best among us. He was once an agent under the World Government, so his attacks are far more deadly than those of others."

"Not only do you have multiple fractures, but your internal organs are also damaged. If you do anything reckless, you may end up with severe internal bleeding..."

"This patient? ..."

"Ikalem!..."

……

Ikalem could no longer hear what the two said next. The strong mental stimulation made him roll his eyes and lose consciousness on the spot.

In a daze, he had many dreams.

In a dream.

A sturdy reindeer man chased after him and wanted to treat him. Princess Vivi, who originally helped him escape, turned into another reindeer man halfway through.

……

"do not come!"

Ikalem woke up suddenly and realized that everything that had just happened was just a false alarm.

I didn't know when the bandage on my body had been replaced with a new one. The pain from the wound was relieved a lot, and I even felt a little stronger.

"so far so good."

"That reindeer with a problem in his brain--!"

Halfway through.

Ikalem's expression froze suddenly, because a huge shadow had been cast from behind him without him knowing.

He turned his head little by little and saw the reindeer that was chasing him in his dream.

"So my dream hasn't ended yet?"

Ikalem grinned dryly, then fell down and fainted again.

"Mr. Ikalem?"

Chopper looked at Ikalem in confusion, then looked at himself, and said puzzledly:

"His body is badly injured, but his brain should be fine."

He gave Ikalem another thorough examination, and after confirming that there were no major problems, he turned to look at Weiwei, his eyes already revealing a hint of a close friend.

"Weiwei, you are the one who understands me the most."

Weiwei smiled faintly:
"Aren't you the one who best understands my existence?"

"Originally I was planning to get to know the knight Gawain by approaching the people on this ship, but now it seems."

"He has such an outstanding crew member like you, so what Mr. Sanji said must be true. Knight Gawain is indeed worthy of the words benevolence and righteousness. He is a true knight."

Chopper nodded, and couldn't help but recall his experience in the Drum Kingdom, with a hint of longing in his eyes:
"The captain single-handedly pulled the Drum Kingdom out of despair, and even made cherry blossoms bloom in that country that snowed all year round."

“If my medical skills are to heal people, then he has the ability to heal a country.”

"Healing a country..."

Weiwei murmured, recalling a piece of history that she had accidentally heard Cobra mention.

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, Alabasta was once an oasis, until a certain cruel king appeared and the entire country gradually turned into a desert."

"Turning a country into a desert?"

Chopper was stunned and suddenly remembered the desert that appeared in the center of Winter Island after the battle on Winter Island.

No.

There is a huge difference in scale between them.

The territory of the Kingdom of Alabasta is countless times larger than Drum Island. Even with the captain's power, it is impossible to turn such a large area into a desert.

"Maybe it's just a rumor."

"Ah."

"I have some other patients to see."

Chopper smiled slightly, and with a bang, he returned to his original small size, put away his medicine box, and turned to leave.

Weiwei looked at Ikalem lying on the hospital bed and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"A man who witnessed suffering and won't let it go?"

……

……

The other end.

Gabra and the other two did not receive as good treatment as Vivi.

After all, the former is a princess and guard captain of a member country of the World Government. Not to mention her sensitive identity, if something happens on Gawain's ship, it will be difficult to explain the follow-up.

But the three of them are agents of the CP organization. Even with Lucci's face, Gawain would not let them act freely.

After their wounds were bandaged, the three men were locked up in a cell below the deck.

Two meals a day, as long as you don’t starve to death.

now.

Gabra leaned against the wall. The seastone handcuffs on his hands made him weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

The owl and the lion Weiqu were also sitting beside him listlessly.

"This time things are going to be troublesome."

"We haven't even broken into Baroque Works yet, and we've already encountered another Shichibukai."

"Even Lucci has undergone some kind of change..."
