I, a Celestial Dragon!

Why do you charge so much for medical treatment every time?

We are doctors. Isn’t it our duty to save lives and heal the wounded?

And won’t the people we treat be grateful to us?

If I was like you and charged a very high fee for every treatment, people wouldn't be grateful to me, right?"

"Ha ha!"

After hearing what Chopper said, Doriel laughed out loud, then she turned around and pointed her wrinkled face at Chopper.

Doriel said seriously while looking into Chopper's eyes.

"I have lived for more than 120 years, Chopper. Do you think that what I have learned and seen in these 120 years is shallower than that of a reindeer like you who has only been a human for more than ten years?

I used to be like you, thinking that I only needed to cure diseases and save lives, and I would receive the gratitude and respect that patients deserved!

But the facts prove that the world is not like that. Patients only think that it is their duty as doctors to cure them, and if we cannot, we owe them!

As for my consultation fees, haha, although my consultation fees are high, they are tailored to each patient and they will definitely be able to afford it!

If they are not even willing to pay this money, it’s not that I don’t want to save him, but that they don’t want to save themselves, right!

What's more, do you think free medical care will really make people appreciate me more?

Haha, when I was collecting herbs for free to treat people, people said my medical skills were terrible and they would rather spend more money to see other people for treatment!

Where do you think I got my medical skills? Because when I was young, I provided free medical care to people.

The only people who come to me are those who suffer from minor illnesses like headaches and fevers, or those who are declared to be close to death and try their luck with me!

I am a doctor, but I am just a doctor. Because of the countless patients who took their chances, many of my patients died, and I also gradually cured more patients!

But I still have no fame, and sometimes I can only watch people die. They are more willing to believe in the good doctors in their eyes who charge more than me!

I am obviously more capable than those so-called good doctors, so why am I always people's second, or even third or fourth choice?

Do you think I just don't want to treat more patients?

From that day on, I completely changed my medical practice principles and I would never do it for free again!

On the contrary, I will charge as much as I can. I want to be the most expensive doctor in the world!

From that day on, my reputation spread completely. People no longer came to me for simple headaches and fevers. Those illnesses did not require my treatment; any doctor could cure them.

Of course, except for your father, my old friend, the late Silk.

He's a nice guy, but he's really a quack...

Back to me, whenever people encounter a truly terminal illness, they will all think of me, because I am the one who charges such a high price that they have no choice but to choose between money and life!

In front of me, they only have these two choices: money or life!

You have to know, Chopper, people will never respect our medical skills, people only respect their own contributions!

They have paid enough, so they trust me enough!"

"You are wrong, Doctor Doriel!!!"

On the side, listening to Doctor Doriel's radical words, Chopper shook his head desperately.

He simply couldn't believe that such words came from the person he respected the most!

Little Chopper blinked his tearful eyes and continued to shout to Doriel in disbelief.

“People… people can’t learn respect by paying!

Only when I treat them with sincerity, will they treat me with the same sincerity!

Just like me and my animal friends, they…”

"So they are animals, they are not people!!!"

Doriel interrupted Chopper heavily, then she squatted in front of Chopper.

Looking at Chopper's innocent and pure eyes, Doriel sighed slowly.

"Hey, you stinky son, I finally told you some truthful words that I should tell my real son, but...

It turns out that your stinky son doesn't understand at all!

Then let me change the way I talk to you, you naughty son!

I ask you, what are we! "

Doriel yelled at Chopper, her words causing Chopper to flinch and pout.

"Doctor...doctor..." Chopper replied in a low voice.

On the other side, as soon as Chopper finished speaking, Doriel immediately continued yelling at him.

"Great, we are doctors, so what is our job!!!"

"Treatment..."

Chopper continued to pout, his mouth was almost more suitable for hanging things than his antlers...

Looking at Chopper's aggrieved look, Doriel took a deep breath.

Ah Xi, this child is so hard to get angry at. The aggrieved look on his face makes me feel so sympathetic that I almost explode!!!

Trying hard to maintain her cool expression, Doriel pinched Chopper's furry face with her hands.

“So we are doctors, our job is to cure diseases!

So, no matter it is a disease that requires payment, a disease that is free, or even a disease that makes the patient lose everything!

No matter what choices patients have to face, isn’t our job to cure their diseases? ! !

Tell me, is life valuable?

Isn't life priceless?

Since life is priceless, it can be truly free of charge, but it can also be truly exchanged for priceless treasures!

Our duty is only to cure diseases. Whether we charge money or not, it has nothing to do with our duty!

All we have to do is cure other people’s diseases!

Even if I encounter a disease that I cannot cure, I will never charge money!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Doriel grabbed Chopper's hoof and angrily carried Chopper towards her small house by the lake.

As they walked, Doriel said this to Chopper one last time.

"It's such a waste of time to talk to your stinky son!

In short, you are still an intern, so you must obey the orders of me as your mentor!

I said, you can treat animals, but not people. Even if you want to treat others, you must get my permission. Do you hear me!!!"

"I heard it..."

Chopper was completely scolded by Doriel. Although he still didn't understand what Doriel meant, he finally nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Doriel let out a breath.

“It’s good to hear it, hey.

Forget it. After you go back, go to the warehouse and get some medicine and treat all the remaining animal friends of yours.

We are all doctors, just like you shouldn't make comments against my attitude towards treatment for which I charge money.

I shouldn't make any special comments about your attitude towards free treatment.

But our quarrels cannot be based on our basic virtues!

Doctors who are determined to treat patients should not give up on any patient, even if they are just animals, haha!"

At this point, Doctor Doriel's loud laughter echoed around the northernmost lake of Winter Island, and it did not dissipate for a long time...

And Chopper...

Doriel could only hope that he would never understand what she said in his life.

Because all her heartfelt words were learned from all kinds of pain...

How could she bear to let Chopper live as hard as she did when she was young?

……

……

On the other hand, Mary Joa, at the top of Pangu City, among the powers.

Looking at the newspaper in their hands, the Five Elder Stars frowned deeply.

"He's really fast!"

As he spoke, the old diplomat relaxed his brows and revealed an appreciative smile.

“I’ve always been optimistic about him, haha, he must have a talent for diplomacy!

Now it’s been less than half a year since he left Mary Geoise, and look at what has happened.

The islands he had visited were except for the Naval Headquarters and Judicial Island.

He planted his own flags on all other islands, making them islands where he could easily control the situation!

There are even two member states of the World Government here, haha!

As long as this kid takes our position, let’s not talk about other islands in the future. Just talking about Fishman Island and Alabasta, these two islands can almost be taken back into the hands of the World Government for direct jurisdiction!

The most important thing is that he neither used the Demon-Slaying Order nor any other messy means that would make other member states alert!

What is this, this is a diplomatic victory!!!"

As he spoke, the old diplomat's laughter became more and more hearty.

It’s strange to say, but the old diplomat felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Gao Wen for the first time.

He always felt that Gao Wen...had a temperament similar to his!

He particularly favors Gawain!

However, after the old diplomat finished speaking.

The old military man who was sitting on the same sofa with him couldn't help but shook his head.

"Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with little Gawain's course of action, but... I'm just worried that he picked the wrong person!"

Having said that, the old military man turned his head to look at the window between the right and left. His sight passed over the pavilion and finally fell on a very mysterious room hidden in the distance.

At the same time, the other five elders also knew the place where the military elder was looking at, which was called Huajian!

Seeing this, the cultural old man sighed leisurely.

“Yeah, if he put up a flag of some other country.

Whether it's me or you all, we will only be happy for him and for our Tianlong people.

Every piece of land we have that is completely directly governed and will not continue to rebel means we are one step closer to our eternal goal!

But..., eh...

Why did he choose Alabasta as the second one?

The Nefertari family is Master Im's family. They are the most special family in the whole world, and among the twenty families of the Celestial Dragons...

They definitely play a special role in Lord Imu's heart. Otherwise, how could they abandon their identity as Celestial Dragons and return to Alabasta to maintain their rule?

I just hope Lord Yim won't have any special opinion of Gawain because of this.

After all, among the younger generation of ours, Gawain and Shanks are already the two best children!"

Chapter 243 Whitebeard Waiting for Red Hair

At the same time, Shanks was mentioned by the Five Elders.

He was sitting on the stern of his boat with his arms folded, waving at the gradually moving away Fishman Island.

That’s right, the journey from Gaya Island to Fishman Island, a journey that could be completed in just over ten days, took him more than two months.
