"These symptoms, and the reaction in the blood..."
After confirming several times that she was not seeing things, Kureha's expression became somewhat strange.
"How is my daughter? Is her illness very serious?!"
"Regarding the illness... are you really people from this era?"
Kureha looked at the father and daughter with an extremely strange expression.
"If my diagnosis is correct, she should just have South China Sea Emperor fever, a disease for which there has been a cure for a long time."
"Don't even mention me, if you go anywhere else and find any doctor, they can find you medicine to treat this disease."
A long time ago?
A miracle drug?
Asiye didn't react for a moment.
When he recalled that he and Olga were "old people" who had lived for over two hundred years, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes.
What was a terminal illness more than two hundred years ago might be as common as the common cold today.
Ashie didn't explain much, but simply stood up and bowed to Kureha.
"Thank you for your help, doctor."
"No need to thank me right away, I'm a doctor who does things on a paycheck."
Kureha sat down again and took a medical book from the bookshelf to read.
"However, you will have to stay here for a while. I didn't expect that a disease like the Emperor of the South China Sea fever would still exist in this day and age."
"I have no effective medicine for it. Until I prepare the medicine, you will stay here obediently."
"How long will it take?" Jin asked in a deep voice.
"Are you in a hurry?" Kureha glanced at Jhin. "If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else for treatment. How am I supposed to know how long it will take?"
Remembering Bazel's instructions before they parted, Jin didn't retort.
"Olga, I'm going to town to find a hotel. You and Ashie stay here and follow Dr. Kureha's instructions."
"Doctor, thank you for your help."
Even when faced with matters of great importance, Jin maintained the proper courtesy.
Stepping out of the room, the surging flames of the disc player behind me scattered snowflakes.
"That flame... is he a Devil Fruit user?"
Kureha was implying something.
"It seems to be an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, I heard it from Kaido."
Because Olga occasionally voiced her true feelings, Asiye answered quickly:
"What kind of dragon was it again? I didn't pay much attention to the specific name. I'm not very interested in things like Devil Fruits."
Ancient species...
With her back to the father and daughter, Kureha's gaze grew increasingly deep.
She couldn't think of any Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit that could control fire, and the other person's clothing was also rather strange.
Although we were on the winter island, it wasn't a problem to be bundled up.
But she always felt that the other person seemed to be deliberately hiding something.
"Never mind, it's none of my business anyway. Curious people don't live long."
Kureha stopped worrying and pointed to the door.
"You can wait at the hotel in town until the treatment is complete. I will take care of Olga's safety, food, and lodging."
Upon hearing that she would have to separate from her daughter, Ashie was extremely reluctant: "But doctor..."
"What, do you want to live with me, this eternally eighteen-year-old beauty?"
Kureha turned to look at Ashie, her gaze filled with disgust as if she were looking at trash.
"How disgusting! Is it appropriate for a grown man to live with a beautiful girl like me? It's not even spring yet; if you're in heat, go somewhere else!"
Ashie froze, and before he could react, Olga had already pushed him out of the cabin.
"Dad, I'll come find you after I'm finished with my treatment. Besides, Elizabeth will be here with me, so don't worry about my safety."
"Ah, yes, I understand. Then you must be a good boy/girl."
Asiye could only leave, muttering things like "a hundred years old" and "old woman" as she walked into the snow.
……
Five days later--
【Ancient Island】
"I understand. Kaido and I are also preparing to set off."
"We'll go to Jaya Island to find Hanafza first. You two focus on getting better. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll meet on Jaya Island."
Kacha--
The Den Den Mushi ended, and Bazel looked at Kaido, who was looking over from the side.
"It's Abel. He said Olga's medicine will take a few more days to be prepared, and he wants us to go and meet up with Hanafza first."
"Then let's set off. I never imagined your talent was so terrifying."
Recalling the five days of special training, Kaido couldn't help but sigh.
"In just five days, you have mastered the control of your Conqueror's Haki, and it even shows signs of continuing to strengthen."
"Even when I was young, I didn't have your cultivation speed."
roar~~
A blue dragon appeared, and Bazel leaped up while picking up Tianyue, then sat down on the leeward side of the dragon's spine.
There's a saying in my hometown that goes something like this.
Tian Yue Shi squinted and said, "Here we go again. Where do you get all this talk from in your hometown?"
Bazel ignored him, shaking his head and chuckling:
"The ocean's waves push the previous waves forward, and the previous waves are destined to die on the beach."
"The old folks back home are really interesting, Bazeir. Let's go. Hopefully, Hanafza has already obtained the fruit!"
……
One day later, on Jaya Island, outside the Devil's Town.
"Boss Kaido, Bazel, it's been a long time!"
After hugging the two men (excluding Tengetsu) tightly and playfully punching each other a few times, Hanafza smiled and greeted the only woman present.
"And Miss Shi, it's been a long time."
"It's been a long time. I'm glad you're all still in good health," Tenzuki replied politely.
"Please come in. I've already had those guys prepare some fine wine and food. Oh, and this is for you."
Kaido caught the wooden box that Hanafza threw to him.
"The Ancient Zoan type of Dragon Fruit, Brachiosaurus form, it took me a lot of effort to get this Devil Fruit."
squeak~
Open the wooden box.
A slender, orange fruit rests on a soft cloth.
"Ooh-ho-ho-ho~!"
"Well done, Hanafza. I've been worrying about the troop strength after we go to Wano Country next year."
"With these two fruits, we can at least produce two more high-ranking officials!"
When Kaido gave the Devil Fruit to Amegetsu, he had complete trust in his brother's woman.
"We... um?"
Kaido suddenly raised his head, his gaze serious.
Why are those two here...?
"Bazaar, I'm leaving the rest to you. I'm going to see two acquaintances."
Without waiting for Bazel's reply, he transformed into a giant dragon and flew into the clouds.
"Is it someone we know?" Hanafza asked curiously.
A red light flashed in Bazel's eyes, but he didn't sense anything.
"I don't know. My Observation Haki range isn't enough. At least there aren't any strong individuals nearby that I should be wary of."
"We're leaving, Shi. Keep that fruit safe. It's time for the long-awaited feast!"
……
Meanwhile, outside the forest at the southern end of Jaya Island.
Kaido transforms back into human form from his dragon form.
"Wang Zhi, why are you here? And you, should I call you Flame Flower or Gloriosa?"
"A name is just a label; you can call me whatever you like."
At this time, Gloriosa was not yet the frail old woman she would be thirty years later.
Although her face has a few more wrinkles, you can still vaguely see the beauty she had in her youth.
"Shakky recently went back to Amazon Lily and mentioned something related to you, so I wanted to see how much my former trainee has grown."
Kaido's lips curled slightly upwards, and his right hand was already resting on the spiked club at his waist.
"And you, Wang Zhi, are you here to test my magnanimity too?"
"No."
Tall and obese, with long hair, Wang Zhi cackled strangely, his forked tongue, like that of a snake, extending from his mouth.
Wang Zhi did not leave the rock beneath his buttocks, his fierce phoenix eyes fixed on Kaido.
"I'm here to form an alliance with you, Kaido."
alliance?
Kaido neither refused nor immediately agreed.
"That kind of thing is meaningless, you should know that, right? I'm not like you."
"Besides, I don't need an alliance to change the world!"
"You should think about it again. That bastard Shiki also came to me."
Wang Zhi grinned and said, "If you refuse, I'll agree to Shiki's alliance."
"Shiki's looking for you? Hehehehe!!!"
Kaido laughed loudly, as if he had heard a joke:
"Hey, stop joking around, Wang Zhi. Others may not know Shiki, but do you think I don't know that bastard?"
"He's not actually trying to form an alliance with you, he's trying to get you to join his flying pirate crew, isn't he?"
Wang Zhi's smile faded slightly.
"Even if we take a step back and say the worst, what about your alliance?"
Buzz--! !
Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.
Kaido pulled out his spiked club, which was wrapped with black and red lightning.
"When have I ever been afraid? Don't even mention your alliance with Shiki, even if you team up with that Newgate guy, I'm still not afraid!"
"Who do you think I am?!"
"I am Kaido!!!"
