Is she, Shirogai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji stood beside Nami's bed, an unlit cigarette hanging from his lips, looking utterly heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at Nami, whose face was flushed and body trembling with fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished it were him lying there instead of her—even though he had no experience with sickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy and Usopp stood nearby, watching silently while Shirogai checked her pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai narrowed his eyes, focused, and remained silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I'm not mistaken,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Vivi gently wiped Nami's forehead with a damp cloth, speaking softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami may have contracted a tropical disease due to the Grand Line's erratic climate. Many sailors fall ill each year from it. Even the strongest have died suddenly after infection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waaah! Miss Nami won't die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji cried bitterly, his voice breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami will die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy's eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami will die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp looked equally horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Ah! Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three panicked, their voices overlapping in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's calm voice cut through their hysteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a tropical disease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words were like a cool breeze through fire, calming the trio instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji blinked in surprise. \"Phew, so it's not that! Maybe it's just a cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami won't die! That's great news!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! Yeah! Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy and Usopp cheered with wide smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's lips curled slightly upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a common cold either. Nami was scratched by a Kestia—an almost-extinct toxic tick. Her current fever is the initial symptom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's relief vanished. \"So she was bitten by some bug... Wait, that's bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This disease is worse than any tropical fever,\" Shirogai explained, voice steady. \"It starts with a forty-degree fever, then escalates to myocarditis, arteritis, and encephalitis. The pain becomes unbearable, and within five days, the patient dies. It's known as Five-Day Disease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji froze, his face pale. \"Then what do we do?! Can you cure her, Shirogai?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai nodded—then shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can create an antibiotic to counter it, but we lack the proper materials and medical equipment on the ship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what—what now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji turned to Nami, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So she only has five days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily,\" Shirogai said. \"I gathered some herbs on Little Garden. I can make a temporary treatment to suppress the infection. After taking it, she'll be able to move around freely within a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirogai, you're incredible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone beamed with renewed hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" he continued, \"we must find a nearby inhabited island. They'll likely have proper antibiotics—or at least the equipment I need to make them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai turned to Vivi, who smiled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, we can't keep following the Eternal Pose to Alabasta. We have to change course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi understood immediately and nodded. \"Okay. I support heading to a nearby island to save Nami.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Shirogai said, pulling a newspaper from his coat. \"Then let's hope you still feel that way after reading this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed it to her. \"Three days ago, three hundred thousand royal troops defected to the rebels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... that's impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi's hands shook as she unfolded the paper—and found that it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vivi, Shirogai's right,\" Nami said weakly, sitting up with effort. \"I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry... but we couldn't have gone faster anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked apologetically at Vivi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your country needs you... but I can manage. Shirogai, please make that medicine. We don't have time to stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shirogai gently pushed her back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This illness can kill you, Nami.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine...\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sleep for a while. When you wake, you'll feel better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shirogai released a soft pulse of Conqueror's Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami fainted peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai tucked her in, then looked at Vivi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Princess—do you choose to continue to Alabasta to save your kingdom, or change course to save Nami's life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally it was six hundred thousand royal troops vs. four hundred thousand rebels,\" he added, \"but now, the tide's turned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi clenched the newspaper, eyes intense. \"Shirogai San... Nami said you're a navigator too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then even without her, you can guide the Going Merry to Alabasta?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the others—Luffy, Usopp, Sanji—had already turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp glanced at Nami, conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji's expression turned ice cold as he stared at Vivi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi didn't notice. She pleaded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... please steer us to a nearby island to treat Nami. Then guide us to Alabasta as fast as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy and the others relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai stood and walked toward the door. \"Of course. Relax—finding a nearby island is easy for me. My navigation skills are good enough to teach Nami.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Whisper-Whisper Fruit, Shirogai had already contacted nearby sea creatures and located Drum Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Going Merry's Observation Deck\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoro stood watch, one-handedly lifting a heavy dumbbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Course steady. No abnormalities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Helm\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faceless wax figure held the rudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more wax figures cleaned the floor behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One with an apron dusted a cabinet. Another used a telescope crafted by Shirogai and Usopp to scan the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wax-Wax Fruit: Modified Fourth Form — Undead Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(60+ Chapters on Patreon)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FZphyr\u003C\u002Fp>",868,"2026-06-06T06:44:36.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","a657654063e55764690698f275cf142627f4323093c6c76870b681816f353be9","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-47","i-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-chapter-45",652,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-plunderer-in-the-world-of-one-piece-cover.jpg"]
