It was almost two weeks after the monster family arrived at Drum Island.
Marie Joa, at the World Conference, there was suddenly an additional item among the events that were originally going to be discussed.
[King Valpo of the Drum Kingdom was killed by the "Red Dog" of the Shichibukai]
Needless to say, almost all the participating world government kings were extremely angry, fearing that after Kazan made this example, other Shichibukai would not take them seriously either.
As everyone knows, even without the Kazan incident, those Shichibukai did not take these losers seriously.
More than a hundred World Government member countries jointly proposed to kick Kazan out of the Shichibukai with almost unanimous votes.
However, this matter cannot be decided in a short period of time.
Not all kings were angry, there were also many wise kings who knew Valpo's character well, so although they didn't say it with their mouths, they were very happy in their hearts.
And Vinsmoke Gaji, who treated everyone present as a fool.
No one here knows that Valpo is now controlled by him in his private laboratory and serves as his tool.
Correspondingly, he also had to pay something for this great gift Kazan gave him.
Originally, Kazan Lion asked for several portable combat suits that were still in the research stage.
But when Gaji said that only those who had undergone the blood factor transformation plan could exert the power of that battle suit, he had no choice but to change his request.
However, a battle suit is definitely indispensable, and I asked Gaji to get various rare materials.
Not only limited to metals, but also the legendary most perfect shipbuilding materials [Yang Tree Eve] and [Treasure Tree Adam], Kazan asked Gaji to send them to them when they arrived at the Capital of Seven Waters.
It was very difficult, but Gaji agreed, which showed that he still had a way to obtain these materials.
Although Reiju is no longer controlled by the bloodline factor technology, the physical changes brought to her by the bloodline factor technology still exist, and Reiju still has the ability to use combat uniforms.
So this battle suit is for Reiju.
besides.
At the World Conference, a king who looked like a human monster, Xienda Kalus, the king of the Kingdom of Illusia, took the lead in raising and discussing the danger of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army.
After the World Conference, 'The World's Most Dangerous Criminal' was born.
In the back garden of Mariegio's meeting place, a little girl with blue hair named Weiwei was making a fuss. Valpo, who was originally destined to appear here to bully her, did not appear this time.
The little girl had a lot of fun.
...
In another location, five old men were discussing something around a square table with Marine Marshal Sengoku on the other side of the phone.
"That's it. Let's prepare to change to the Shichibukai and restore the bounty order of the Monster Pirates."
"Since that guy dared to take action against Valpo, he must have been prepared and didn't take the status of the Shichibukai to heart at all."
"I didn't expect it to be so fast, but it's okay. We can take action against Nico Robin. Let's send someone."
"Take down the Monster Pirates before they enter the new world, otherwise there will be another big trouble in the future."
"Um."
The five old men, each with one sentence, settled the matter directly without giving Warring States any chance to speak.
Warring States on the other side of the phone was not angry, and he had no objection to what happened this time.
In the past two years, even if the World Government is a loser, their navy is not.
Kazan has too many connections in the Shichibukai. Letting him stay in the Shichibukai is purely a troublemaker. The Warring States Period had the idea of kicking him out of the Shichibukai half a year ago.
However, the new Shichibukai...
Where can I find it?
...
Drum Kingdom.
Kazan, who was inside the castle, had no idea what was going on in the outside world, and even if he did, he wouldn't be surprised.
Because when he ‘killed Valpo’, he had already thought about the consequences he would face later.
The only people who moved into the castle were the monster family and others.
There is also Dr. Kuleha, who lives in the castle as Reiju's tutor, hangs out with the monster family, and lives happily every day.
Anyone who integrates into the atmosphere of the monster family will be immersed in the family atmosphere involuntarily.
In addition to these people, there are two little guys.
A Laban cub, and Chopper, who is still debated within the monster family as a reindeer or a civet.
Laban cub follows Monet every day, because the scent of Monet makes the little guy feel particularly comfortable.
Chopper was taught to read and write by Kazan every day, which was something Kazan found for himself.
However... Chopper can only speak when he is alone with Kazan, and will not speak when other people are around.
It's not that I'm wary, I'm just embarrassed.
Today, there was a big event. Everyone came to the castle hall, and even Dr. Kuleha ran over to join in the fun.
Assign a name.
"Introduce yourself, Chopper."
Kazan patted Chopper's little head next to him. Little Chopper shook his ears and looked shy and hid behind Kazan's legs.
In the entire monster family, he is only close to Kazan and Robin. The former is because he has been getting along recently, and the latter is because he saved him in the first place.
"I...my name is Tony Tony Chopper, the name given to me by Brother Kazan..."
Chopper listened to Kazan's words. Although he was a little shy, he still tried his best to introduce himself.
Chopper now is like a human child, completely incomparable to the one six years later.
So Kazan still has to teach him many, many things.
"Hey?! You can actually talk?"
"Um..."
"Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I'm afraid of being disliked by you."
"The most important question...are you a reindeer or a civet cat?"
"?"
Chopper was stunned. Seeing the entangled expressions of the people in front of him, he suddenly felt a little proud. According to what Kazan taught him, this is...angry!
"Of course I'm a reindeer! You can't tell with such obvious antlers!"
"It's... it's actually a reindeer."
Ah Jin looked shocked. Like Robin, he was a member of the Civet Cat Party.
Feng Clay next to him looked at Ah Jin's appearance and slapped his face speechlessly, so he asked how he recognized him as a civet cat.
"Nissan, Rabat?"
Monet raised her hands with furry white balls in her hands. She liked this little guy very much.
"His...his name is...Bar-Bah-Bah-Willump!"
Kazan held his chin and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, he imagined what Dalabang would look like in the future, and made a decision directly.
Ouch~ka.
The little furball howled very loudly, but it seemed that his throat was not well developed, so he got stuck and coughed a little.
"Willump... not cute at all."
Monet pouted, a little dissatisfied with the name Kazan gave. After all, she is a girl and she would like a cuter name.
"What name does Nana think is good?"
Kazan has always attached great importance to the feelings of his younger brothers and sisters. Since Monet felt bad about it, he didn't need to use such a name.
"How about...Marigina Page Allie Fannie?"
(ヾ?????????)
Kazan's jaw gradually dropped, no... it was the mouths of all members of the monster family that slowly dropped.
Even the Laban held in Monet's hand opened his mouth.
We couldn't get along for a while.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Willump...is a good name."
"That's right, that's right. Coupled with the little guy's huge physique, he's very imposing."
"In that case..."
"It's decided, let's call it Barley Barley Willump!"
"Ouch (nods)."
Under the leadership of Fon Klay, the Laban cub was finally named:
Willump!
"Woo~"
Monet bit his lower lip and stared at Kazan aggrievedly. As long as Nissan was willing to speak, everyone would agree even if they disagreed.
Kazan lowered his head, teased Chopper next to his leg, and ignored Monet: Sorry, Nana.
"Kakakaka."
Dr. Kuleha looked at these young guys having fun and felt like she had regained her lost youth.
"Kazan, why did you call [Doctor 20] and Dalton here?"
"Let them see who wants to heal this country until he dies. It will make them feel how great they are."
Kazan rubbed Chopper's empty head. There was a hat missing here.
Kazan didn't make up for Chopper, what was supposed to come would always come, and if it didn't come, he would let him come.
"That's almost it."
Kazan murmured a few words, then walked out of the castle with Chopper in his arms, and the others followed him step by step.
Dr. Kuleha did not go out. She took a sip of wine and her eyes were a little cloudy. In the past few days, when she and the little girl Reiji went out to see patients, they heard a lot of rumors.
[I heard that Master Kazan is going to continue Valpo’s ‘Hunting Doctor Plan’.]
[Doctor 20 were all captured and taken back to the castle. 】
[I heard that Doctor 20 was experimented on by Master Kazan and became ill. There are no doctors left in this country.]
These are all coming from the mouths of the people.
Very contradictory.
If Kazan really did such a thing and let the people know about it, then they would no longer be able to call Kazan 'sir'.
Moreover, their attitude towards Reijiu cannot change at all.
Obviously, Kazan is directing something and deliberately luring someone into taking the bait. But he has not done anything in the past two weeks. He has been trying to make the people remember to cooperate and put on a good show.
As for the people Kazan wanted to attract, Dr. Kuleha had some guesses.
It was nothing more than a certain quack doctor. Before Kazan came, that quack doctor still visited her from time to time.
That stupid man, her best friend.
"Hehehe...this country owes this pirate more and more."
Dr. Funkley smiled softly and walked towards the balcony on the second floor of the castle, where she would witness the next scene.
Outside the castle.
Doctor 20 and Dalton stood at the gate of the castle, staring blankly at a man who climbed up from the mountain, shivering and covered in ice.
"Where's Doctor 20?! Where's the patient?! It's ridiculous for a doctor to be sick!"
His life breath was already very weak, but he seemed a little stubborn. This man was struggling to stay alive.
Kazan looked at the man who was called a 'quack doctor' in this country, and was somewhat touched in his heart: "You have been fooled, Dr. Shilluk, this is a play directed to lure you in.
The purpose is to make you, a quack, disappear from the world."
"So...no one got sick, right?"
"That's right."
"What...it turns out no one is sick...that's good, that's no problem."
Dr. Shilluk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lay on his back on the ground, looked at the dim sky with continuous fine snow, and breathed a sigh of relief.
[Doctor 20] stood there with Dalton and looked at the sloppy man opposite, feeling complicated and moved in his heart.
"Hey, pirate over there."
Dr. Shilluk sat up and took a bottle of wine from the medical bag he carried.
"explain."
"When do you think people die?
Was it when the heart was shot through with a pistol? No.
Or when you are suffering from an incurable disease? That’s not right either.
But...when the world forgets it."
"When the world forgets."
Kazan and Dr. Siruluk said the last sentence at the same time, and suddenly recalled this sentence in their minds.
Dalton's eyes glazed over and he clenched his mouth, trying to hold back the sadness in his eyes.
"..."
Dr. Siruluk looked at Kazan with a little surprise and sneered: "No doctor in this country can understand it clearly.
Even if I am gone, my dream will come true. This sick country and the sick hearts of its people will be saved.
Why are you crying? Mr. Dalton."
"Can this... country... be saved?"
Dalton was confused. Even if Valpo died, he could not hold on to the hope of saving the country. With tears left in his eyes, he only felt that he was incompetent.
I always feel that I have done a lot for this country.
So, let’s break it down, what did he do?
"The root cause of the disease is gone. Now I just need to treat the disease with peace of mind. There will still be people who can inherit my dream, and then this country will be saved."
But...I couldn't fulfill my dream myself, and I couldn't meet the person who would inherit my will.
I still have some regrets in this life!"
Dr. Siruluk's eyes were a little distracted. He was suffering from an incurable disease and he was an ordinary person. When he climbed here, he was almost dying.
He only relied on the obsession in his heart and his instinctive desire to save others to support his body.
At this moment, even members of the monster family were moved by this man's stupidity and obsession.
The monster family will never laugh at a man who carries his own dreams to his death.
Because this itself is something that few people can do.
The ignorant Willump and Chopper were even more shocked by the scene in front of them. They didn't quite understand it, but it didn't prevent them from being moved.
"Nissan."
Reiju took a step forward and looked at Kazan.
The latter raised his head, and Reiju rushed over to treat Dr. Siruluk. When Dr. Siruluk fell, he saw Dr. Kuleha on the second floor of the castle in a daze.
He was stunned for a moment until his consciousness dissipated, and he did not choose to commit suicide by biting the poison hidden in his teeth.
"Just a quack, no need to..."
"He is a doctor! A great doctor who wants to save this country!"
Dalton interrupted Kazan's words and shouted at the top of his lungs through gritted teeth.
"Now that you know it, don't wait until this country drives such great people to death one after another before you take action quickly."
Kazan smiled, turned around and returned to the castle, leaving [Doctor 20] and Dalton outside the castle in a trance.
"Strange pirate."
Dr. Kuleha on the balcony on the second floor of the castle took a sip of wine and showed a smile.
