He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Outside, Gardevoir looked heavily at Guxin, her face pleading: "Gardevoir..."

It couldn't bear it and wanted to save the child.

Guxin nodded slightly, his gaze gentle, and told Gardevoir to do as it pleased.

Each Pokémon is a unique individual with its own personality.

Gardevoir is understanding and kind-hearted.

Snorlax is lazy and docile, only interested in eating and sleeping.

Gengar is lively and loves to play pranks everywhere.

He's more like a parent, leading a group of children with different personalities.

The next instant, Gardevoir appeared in the room, its palms outstretched, and a pale pink wave fell directly on the dying girl.

Healing Fluctuations!

This is a classic healing skill, so Gardevoir also doubles as a ship's doctor.

It's clear how versatile Psychic-type Pokémon are.

"A ghost!" Chopper was startled by the sudden appearance of Gardevoir, screamed, and fell off the wooden bed, bumping his furry head.

"Who is it?" Kureha helped the tearful Chopper up, her eyes filled with vigilance as she looked at Gardevoir.

Suddenly, Guxin pushed open the door and entered, explaining, "You don't need to be nervous, my partner is treating the girl."

"Treatment?" Kureha asked doubtfully. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the little girl's breathing was becoming more stable and her complexion was much rosier.

Her vitality is visibly recovering.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but Gardevoir's actions did indeed look like an attack to others.

However... this was the first time Kureha and Chopper had ever seen such a miraculous ability, which was truly eye-opening.

Unlike the naive Chopper, Kureha's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, but she remained silent.

In the blink of an eye, the girl's condition stabilized completely, and Gardevoir stopped attacking, floating to Guxin's side and standing quietly.

"You can continue treatment now; the success rate should be quite high," Guxin indicated.

【Healing Fluctuation】is essentially about restoring vitality, and is therefore particularly effective for injury-related conditions.

However, if it is a viral or other type of disease, it requires professional treatment by a doctor. 【Healing Fluctuations】 can only assist in treatment and improve the success rate.

Therefore, even with Gardevoir, a professional ship's doctor is still needed on board.

For example... Chopper would be a great target to "kidnap".

Seeing this, Kureha continued the treatment, and sure enough, it was effective very quickly; the girl's condition had improved by about 80-90%.

"You're all fine now. Just take these medicines on time." Chopper handed the medicine packet to the girl's mother.

The mother, holding her child, said emotionally, "Thank you, Dr. Chopper, thank you so much..."

"Dr. Chopper~ You don't need to praise me like that~" Chopper gets shy when praised and starts twisting his waist.

"I also want to thank these people; they're the ones who actually saved the child," Chopper quickly explained, coming back to his senses.

So the mother thanked Gu Xin and the others repeatedly.

Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if it were Water Seven or any other place, this girl probably wouldn't have faced any threat of death at all.

However... there is no truly safe place in this world.

Next, Kureha and Chopper transformed into two spinning tops, and almost as soon as one patient recovered, another patient arrived.

Gu Xin and the others had nowhere else to go, so they simply stayed there for a while. Sometimes they could even lend a hand and save several lives.

After most of the day had passed, the patients in Big Horn Town had been treated.

"Phew, another busy day." Kureha sighed and teased Chopper, who was packing his things, "Satisfied with today, Dr. Chopper?"

"Don't call me that~" Chopper was feeling smug again.

"What an idiot son," Kureha sighed, then adjusted her glasses and looked at Gusin and the others. "Thank you for your help today."

Chopper quickly said, "Hey, let's all have dinner together. Thank you for your help today."

"Oh? Then we won't stand on ceremony." Gu Xin readily agreed.

Kureha's home is at the foot of a hill not far from here.

The group brought food provided by the people of Bighorn Town and sat down at the table to enjoy dinner after arriving at the cabin.

Enjoying a delicious meal while snuggled up in a warm house during a snowy day is such a blissful moment.

To thank the doctor for his hard work throughout the day, and for being the only remaining doctor on the island, the people of Bighorn Town offered a lavish meal.

A large wooden table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

There's braised pork, sandwiches, milk...

"Guxin, have a taste! It's a specialty of Drum Island, you can't find it anywhere else," Chopper enthusiastically introduced.

It was a braised fish dish, made with the Frostfish from the waters near Cigu Island, a type of fish that is only produced locally.

It gets its name from the faint blue light emitted by its scales when it swims in the water. Its flesh is tender and locals often use it to braise or stew...

Gu Xin picked up a piece to taste. The first sensation was the smoothness of the fish, followed by the sweetness of the seafood sauce. The multi-layered flavors made her taste buds feel like they were experiencing a feast.

Strangely, the fish is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and there is a refreshing icy feeling at the end, like experiencing both fire and ice.

"Yes, it's really delicious." Gu Xin gave a thumbs up.

A moment later, the roars of several wild beasts suddenly came from outside.

Kureha's expression turned serious. She rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "They've come knocking again? What an annoying fellow."

These calls come from Labang, a carnivorous rabbit, a unique creature on Drum Island.

They have rabbit-like features but are huge and have canine teeth. They are fierce and very hostile to humans.

About a month ago, a group of people from Labang migrated to this area, and since discovering that humans lived here, they have been coming to harass us every few days.

Luckily, Kureha and Chopper were quite capable, otherwise they would have been driven away long ago.

"Wait! Something seems off about the numbers this time?" Kureha's expression changed slightly as she listened carefully, noticing that the roars were noticeably more frequent.

At the same time, the wooden table trembled slightly with each step.

"Ah! They've probably all come out this time! We need to get out of here quickly!" Little Chopper exclaimed, jumping up.

Seeing that Gushin and the others remained seated, Chopper became even more anxious.

The carnivorous rabbit Labang is quite ferocious; an adult Labang can easily defeat several adult men, and if they come in groups, they are even more terrifying.

Guxin said slowly and deliberately, "Oka, it's up to you now."

"No problem." Van Augur nodded slightly, then walked out the door alone, leaving Chopper staring in disbelief.

Isn't this just suicide?

The next moment, a shot rang out.

It sounded like only one shot was fired, or maybe several shots were fired. Chopper couldn't quite tell; he only knew the sound was very loud.

Strangely, after the gunshots rang out, Labang's shouts completely disappeared.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and Van Augur reached out and gently brushed the fine snow off his shoulders before sitting back down expressionlessly.

Chopper cautiously hid behind the door, peeking out with his little head. He saw a group of huge Laban lying on the ground, with glaring scarlet bloodstains on the white snow.

The terrible Labang... was it really resolved just like that?
