Chapter 433 The Cure Plan, Whitebeard in Prime Condition!
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, and even more difficult at the end.
However, as long as you handle the "first difficulty" well and open up a pretty good situation, no matter how difficult the subsequent things are, you will have a minimum direction of effort, instead of having to re-do everything. Find a breakthrough.
For example, now, as Zhang Fang and others have established a minimum of trust with Bai Tuan, the subsequent task connection has become easier.
After Huo'er spoke eloquently and pointed out seven or eight problems with Whitebeard, the stubborn old man finally gave up his last reserve and agreed to let him check his body.
Speaking of which, the configuration of the Whitebeard Pirates is definitely second to none among the Four Emperors.
The only weak link is the ship's doctor!
This sentence certainly does not mean that Marco is weak. On the contrary, among all the doctors in the dungeon world of "One Piece", Xiao Ma is definitely the most capable one. Also among all the lieutenants, his medical skills are the best!
But when it comes to pure medical skills, his level is a bit unsatisfactory.
After all, the "Regenerative Flame" he is best at is better at helping others recover from injuries rather than treating diseases.
It is precisely because of this that the various minor problems that appeared on Whitebeard were not treated promptly and properly. Coupled with the side effects of the Zhenzhen Fruit, over time, the minor problems turned into big problems. So much so that after more than thirty punches with Xing Ruyu, he had a heart problem and looked miserable as if he might belch at any time.
After Huo'er conducted a simple examination of his body, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The problems with him are really too serious."
Marco, who had been following him all the time, immediately asked nervously after hearing this: "Is there any way to treat it?"
Huo'er shook his head with a solemn expression: "Severe heart failure, severe bone damage, severe muscle strain, severe dislocation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases... Anyway, through my examination, I found that there is basically no problem with him. Component!"
"Faced with such a patient, I'm afraid even if the most powerful doctor in the world comes, he can only do nothing..."
Hearing Huo'er's words, Marco couldn't help but look lonely.
The results of Huo'er's examination of Whitebeard couldn't be said to be similar to the answers he got before, they could only be said to be exactly the same. Originally, when he saw this little girl, he could tell many of his father's problems just by looking at her, and he still had some hope.
But the result is that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
"Gu la la la..."
At this time, Whitebeard, who had recovered from the previous chest tightness and heartache, suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Don't put on such a sad expression. I know my body well, and I want to lead you." We can still defeat the navy and rescue Ace!"
Hearing Whitebeard's heroic words, all the members of the White Group led by Marco couldn't help but fell silent. They all felt heavy and wanted to say something, but felt that no matter what they said at this time, it was inappropriate. The scene He looked very dignified for a moment.
"Hey!" At this time, Huo'er suddenly protested dissatisfied: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"
In order to make his sons feel at ease, Whitebeard behaved like a calm and free-spirited person. After hearing this, he even touched Huo'er's little head lovingly and said with a smile: "Then just keep talking, everyone is waiting to hear it. !”
Huo'er pulled his little head out of Whitebeard's big hand in disgust, then cleared his throat under everyone's gaze, and then said: "This old man has serious injuries, and he is the best in the world." The doctors can’t do anything.”
"But I am not an ordinary doctor!"
"I am a miracle doctor who has inherited ancient medical technology! I can treat diseases that humans can treat, and I can see injuries that humans can't see! In a word, I can treat patients that humans can treat, but humans can't. I can also save lives of patients!"
"The wonderful hand brings back youth, Yama sighs, this is my medical skill!"
After saying this, his proud eyes swept over everyone in the White Group: "Is it clear enough?"
Seeing Huo'er's performance, Zhang Fang and Xing Ruyu looked at each other and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts.
Huo'er is so good at pretending!
On the other side, Marco became excited after hearing Huo'er's words: "This little sister... uh, she's a little miracle doctor. Can you really cure dad's injuries?"
Huo'er glanced at him dissatisfied: "It's not a little miracle doctor, it's a miracle doctor!"
Marco followed suit: "Okay, miracle doctor!"
Huo'er nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "For Grandpa Whitebeard's injury, I have two different treatment options. The effects of these two options have their own advantages and disadvantages. You just need to choose one, and we can start treatment right away.”
At this time, the attention of other members of the White Group, including Whitebeard himself, was all attracted by Huo'er.
As the ship's doctor, Marco asked: "What are the two options?"
"In order for you to understand properly, before we talk about these two options, we must first understand a concept." Huo'er, who has become the focus of everyone, put on the look of a young adult and said unhurriedly : "In fact, all the medical techniques in the world have never cured patients. They only use medical means to promote patients to heal themselves."
"It's like an apple tree with bugs. All we can do is get rid of the bugs, and then use fertilization and other methods to stimulate the vitality of the apple tree itself, so that its injured parts can heal on their own."
Huo'er's words sounded a bit confusing to the ears of pirates with little education.
Only Marco, as a captain and part-time ship's doctor, understood the key. He nodded in agreement and said, "Although the medical skills I learned did not clearly point out this point of view. But when I hear you say this, Once you talk about it, it seems that all medical skills are exactly what you said."
"But what does this have to do with treating dad's injuries?"
"It matters a lot!" Huo'er said sternly: "If it's a strong patient, let's take you as an example. Your vitality is extremely strong. I just need to follow the best treatment method to make you completely healed. ”
"The vitality consumed during this period will recover on its own in a short time."
"Although even so, injuries will eventually have some impact on your lifespan, but as long as you take proper care in the later period, this impact can be reduced to a minimum."
After saying that, he once again set his sights on White Beard: "But this old man with White Beard has very little vitality left. If too much is stimulated to heal the body at this time, it will be harmful to him." lifespan, causing serious consequences.”
"That's why I came up with two different treatment options."
After a slight pause, he added: "The first is to find a balance between his condition and vitality."
"Judging from the current vitality of the old man with white beard, if he is in a healthy state, he can only live for seven or eight years. But with his current physical condition, he will definitely not be able to persist to this theoretical maximum."
"My first treatment plan requires consuming a certain amount of his vitality to heal part of his injuries. The effect is to give him a relatively healthy body, but such a body is not suitable for continuing to fight. You can find a comfortable environment to retire in peace of mind. You can probably enjoy it for about five years, which is equivalent to the life of an ordinary healthy elderly person."
This time, before Marco could speak, Whitebeard, the patient, said first, "I choose the second option!"
"Don't be anxious yet." Although Huo'er enjoys the process of showing off among a lot of pirates, he still maintains enough respect for Whitebeard, an old man who is old enough to be his grandfather: "The second method will be more expensive for you."
After a slight pause, he continued: "The second method is to completely cure all the injuries on the old man's body. Although I can't make you rejuvenate and restore your body to its peak state, the health status after the cure will not Slightly worse than any of his peers, his combat effectiveness can reach the theoretical peak."
At this point, Huo'er paused for a moment, then sighed again: "However, this method is usually only suitable for young people with strong vitality. If used on your old body, it will be like cooking oil on a burning fire. Although the effect is Excellent, but it will seriously affect your life span. After being cured, you will probably only have one year to live."
When Whitebeard heard this, his eyes revealed an incredible light: "You mean, you can still keep me in peak condition for a whole year?"
"This is only theoretically true." Huo'er immediately corrected him: "With your current physical condition, not only will you be injured in the battle, but your recovery will be much slower than others. Even the side effects of using the 'Shock Fruit' will accumulate. It will also cause further harm to the body.”
"So, as long as you continue to participate in the battle, you will never survive this year. However, this is the natural decline of the body after aging, and has nothing to do with my medical skills."
"That's enough!" Whitebeard showed an extremely gratified smile and said without hesitation: "Then let's follow your second treatment plan!"
Standing ten feet away, silently watching Huo'er's performance, Zhang Fang showed an extremely satisfied smile on his face.
Seeing this, Xing Ruyu on the side couldn't help but send a message and asked: "Brother Hua, you seem to be very satisfied with Huo'er's performance."
"Of course I'm satisfied." Zhang Fang immediately sent a message and replied: "In fact, no matter how you look at it, letting Whitebeard choose the second treatment plan is the best solution under the current situation, whether it is for the Whitebeard Pirates or for us. In other words, a white beard who has regained his peak combat power is an important factor that can affect success or failure."
"In this case, we could have ignored the first option of putting White Beard directly into a nursing home and talked about treatment directly, which would have achieved the same effect."
After a slight pause, he added: "But Huo'er's method is undoubtedly a better choice. Because according to Whitebeard's character, even if he knows the two options, he will definitely choose the second one."
"Because for him, he has never thought about living a long life or getting a good death. He just hopes to rescue Ace. On this basis, he can provide more protection for his 'sons' It would be best if it rains for a while so that they can continue to grow.”
"If he makes the choice himself, it will not only make us more honest, but it will also allow Whitebeard to gain more reputation within the White Group and further enhance the cohesion of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Therefore, Huo'er's seemingly unnecessary operation is the optimal solution to maximize benefits."
Xing Ruyu blinked his eyes when he heard this, and then said: "But how do I feel that Huo'er doesn't seem to have thought about what you said. The reason why it said everything frankly is that it is in the position of a doctor. It’s just conduct.”
Zhang Fang still maintained a sunny smile on his face: "It's all the same."
At this time, Marco suddenly spoke again: "Miracle Doctor Huo'er, after hearing your treatment theory, I suddenly thought that my 'Regenerative Flame' seems to enhance the regeneration ability of others. If I also help, can I Reduce dad’s life force consumption.”
Huo'er: "I don't know much about your ability. I don't know whether its function is to replenish the patient's vitality or stimulate their vitality. But you can give it a try..."
After the discussion, Huo'er immediately began to treat Whitebeard, while Marco stood by and used his "Regenerative Flame" to assist.
After giving it a try, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the "Regenerative Flame" actually transformed Marco's physical strength into the purest vitality, helping the injured to recover! In other words, Huo'er can completely use this special flame with vitality to replace Whitebeard's vitality and heal his body!
After receiving the clear answer, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates were overjoyed.
Then, with the help of the healing power of "Both Hands" and the "Regeneration Flame", it only took more than an hour for Whitebeard's injuries to be completely healed. Judging from the momentum that the other party exploded after recovering.
It's definitely not a big problem to defeat Kaido!
The main thing is that in this process, almost all the life force consumed is replaced by Marco's "Regenerative Flame", which consumes very little of Whitebeard's lifespan.
Theoretically, this old man can maintain this state for more than seven years!
The price was that Marco was completely exhausted.
He is seriously exhausted, and it may take him a day or two to recover...
As Whitebeard recovered, the alliance between the two parties was naturally concluded. After that, Zhang Fang had a secret conversation with Whitebeard for most of the day, and had a detailed exchange on the cooperation of various strategies and tactics.
During this period, Zhang Fang, as a cadre of the revolutionary army, naturally mixed some private goods into it. However, these private goods would not harm the interests of the White Tuan. In addition, White Beard had just accepted such huge benefits from them, so naturally he could not find them. Given no reason to refuse, he readily agreed.
That night, the two and one monkey refused the Whitebeard Pirates' invitation to a banquet. They just kept all the old wine they got from Kaido as a souvenir, then boarded the boat they came from and returned to the Beast Pirates. The regiment's accommodation ship.
"Gu la la la..."
Watching Zhang Fang and others leave from a distance, Whitebeard once again let out his signature laugh: "Young people today are really brave and fearless. Compared with them, I, a remnant of the old era, seems like The only value left is to protect my sons from wind and rain."
When the weak Marco heard this, he immediately realized something: "Dad, what big thing are they going to do?"
"About this, Sabo said that there is no need to keep it secret." Whitebeard grinned: "Now that the war between the two sides is imminent, he said that he would cause a little trouble for the navy at this extremely tense moment. Go to the Chambord Islands and kill a few people. A Celestial Dragon."
Marco, who was already weak, felt short of breath after hearing these words, and couldn't help coughing violently.
…
At the same time, Zhang Fang, who was riding a small boat heading towards the main ship of the Beast Pirates, then stuffed a secret book into the hands of Xing Ruyu who was standing aside.
Xing Ruyu was stunned: "What is this?"
Zhang Fang raised his head slightly and quietly enjoyed the refreshing feeling of the sea breeze blowing across his cheeks: "Reward for the task of curing Whitebeard."
