Chapter 1779

~9 min read 1,660 words

Fourteen hours later, Su Xiao, covered in blood, pushed the door and walked out of the cabin. The pirates waiting at the door surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is my Pops?"

"Mr. Bai Ye, how is the situation?"

"Is Pops okay now?"

Su Xiao looked at the pirates who surrounded him, their faces full of anxiety. The feeling of anxious family members of patients appeared.

"It can be considered a success."

This sentence from Su Xiao made the pirates' hearts skip a beat, and some continued to ask.

"Don't surround me."

"Uh~"

Such a fierce doctor made most pirates subconsciously take a step back. Su Xiao came to the side of the deck and lit a cigarette.

The surgery could only be considered barely successful. Problems with major organs such as the heart, lungs, and spine were all solved, but Su Xiao couldn't solve the aftereffects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. That was an injury accumulated over years and months. Unless Su Xiao helped Whitebeard carry out at least a month of recuperation, there was no possibility of recovery, at most suppression for a period of time.

Time passed quickly. For a full twenty hours, the cabin door was pushed open again. Whitebeard, with bandages wrapped around his upper body and having already removed the respiratory support device, walked out.

His hand pressed on the back of his neck, trying to slowly turn his head and lower his head. Before, his spine was like it had rusted, very stiff, but now, he felt that the space between his vertebrae seemed to have been lubricated, and it was very natural when turning.

More importantly, Whitebeard experienced the feeling of free breathing. The slightly salty sea breeze was inhaled into his organs, and his chest was no longer as stuffy as before, and his lungs began to work normally.

Whitebeard grabbed the naginata leaning against the cabin, and the bottom of the naginata knocked on the deck.

Bang!

A wave of air spread. Whitebeard just stood there, giving people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

"You'd better go back to the cabin and lie down for two to three days. The Ancient Secret Medicine only recovers your external surgical trauma."

Although Su Xiao's words didn't sound very good, the facts were just like that. Whitebeard didn't care about Su Xiao's attitude. He walked out of the cabin to give his sons confidence, roughly meaning: 'Your Pops, I have recovered. Sons, don't worry, rescuing Ace is not a problem.'

"Pops, you'd better rest first."

Marco stepped forward quickly, his face full of undisguised joy. He didn't understand medicine, but he could see Whitebeard's state.

"Don't worry, I haven't felt this relaxed for a long time. Go get some wine..."

Whitebeard was in a very good mood. He felt that he had returned to the state of more than ten years ago, or even twenty years ago.

"Considering your current physical condition, drinking will cause you to be bedridden for a longer time."

Su Xiao's voice came again, and Marco hurried forward.

"Pops, you'd better rest first."

"That's right, Pops. Mr. Bai Ye is a doctor; his words must make sense."

"……"

Whitebeard was silent for a moment and grinned. While everyone was still whispering, he looked at Su Xiao outside the crowd.

Su Xiao's mouth opened, saying something silently. Whitebeard turned and returned to the cabin.

Bubu Wang came to Su Xiao's side, rubbed Su Xiao's leg with its body, and asked what Su Xiao had just said to Whitebeard. It was very curious.

"I told him that if he doesn't engage in fierce fighting, he can live for at least another five to seven years."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. He was very curious about one thing now: how would the Navy deal with Whitebeard in this state?

When Whitebeard was seriously ill and dying, he had beaten Akainu all over the ground. If it weren't for the sudden heart attack during the battle, and the fact that it was very difficult to lower his head, Akainu would definitely have been hammered to death by Whitebeard.

And the current Whitebeard, as long as he recuperated for two to three days, would definitely be stepping on Akainu, punching Huang Yuan, and carrying Aokiji with his naginata when the war started.

When Su Xiao completed Whitebeard's surgery earlier, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: The Hunter has helped Edward Newgate recover 96.7% of his state. You have obtained a special reward.】

【When the Summit Battlefield plot event is triggered, the Hunter will obtain 25% of the rewards for the units killed by Whitebeard.】

【Due to the Hunter's act of treating Whitebeard, the difficulty of the Navy faction's Qiyuezhe mission has increased significantly.】

【Announcement: Edward Newgate's state has recovered to over 90%. All Qiyuezhe need to respond to subsequent missions with caution.】

As soon as this announcement, which all Qiyuezhe could see, came out, the public world communication platform exploded instantly.

Space (Solo): "Fuck!! Who did this? Who!!"

T-Bone (Joint Chamber of Commerce): "Selling recovery items, one-time high-power props. Interested parties meet at Navy Headquarters."

Flower Language (Solo): "Can I understand this as Whitebeard having recovered to his peak state? Who did it? I cordially greet your whole family!"

Luoluo (Vagabond Adventure Group): "The mission to join the Whitebeard faction... the difficulty has increased threefold."

……

The communication platform was full of cursing. Previously, most Qiyuezhe chose to join the Navy faction. After all, in the Summit Battlefield, the Navy side had more advantages, and many people wanted to get benefits when Whitebeard died.

Su Xiao closed the communication platform. He didn't have the habit of being cursed at. As for spraying back at those people, that was even more impossible.

"Mr. Bai Ye."

Marco came to the side of the ship's rail. This time, his address of Mr. Bai Ye was clearly much more natural.

"The promised reward, how many days will it take to arrive? You can stay on our ship for these few days. There will definitely be no problem with the reward. I guarantee it with the banner of Whitebeard."

Marco scratched his yellow pineapple head. Right now, Whitebeard's state was so good, but the reward hadn't arrived, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

"Regarding the reward, give me a Den Den Mushi. When your ship arrives at the Grand Line, you can notify me in advance. I will come to collect it then."

Su Xiao didn't worry about the Whitebeard Pirates reneging on their debt, whether in terms of reputation or 'physical coercive measures'.

"This..."

Marco was somewhat hesitant. Su Xiao already knew quite a bit of the Whitebeard Pirates' intelligence. Letting the other party leave now was clearly somewhat inappropriate.

Just as Marco was hesitating, a short fishman ran over and whispered something to him.

"Where does Mr. Bai Ye want to go? We'll send you there by ship."

Clearly, Whitebeard had told Marco something.

"Datanao."

"Still going there?!"

Marco couldn't understand why Su Xiao was still returning to Datanao Island. Before, they had already been discovered by the CP department there.

"Alright then, I'll go arrange a ship. Mr. Bai Ye, take this Den Den Mushi; you can contact me at any time."

Soon, a three-masted sailing ship sailed over and pulled alongside the large ship. Su Xiao had just stepped onto the ship when the cabin of the large ship was pushed open.

"Kukulin."

Whitebeard's voice came. Su Xiao turned to look at him. A bottle of wine flew from mid-air, and Su Xiao raised his hand to catch it.

【You have obtained 'Margaux (Epic-tier)'.】

【Margaux】

Origin: Pirate King (Unique)

Quality: Epic-tier

Type: Red Wine (Origin has sunk, 2 bottles left in the world)

Usage effect: No buff effect, this is a luxury item (including Void and other regions).

Rating: 684 points (Epic-tier item rating is 530~700 points.)

Introduction: For sommeliers or those who are addicted to alcohol, Margaux is the whole world.

Selling price: 560,000 Paradise Coins (price exceeds 99% of Epic-tier items).

……

Su Xiao looked at the wine in his hand. The edge of the paper label on this bottle of wine had fine damage, and the bottle mouth was sealed with a wooden cork. The wine inside reflected the sunlight, revealing an alluring red light.

【Margaux】 had no buff effect. Was this very trashy for an Epic-tier item? Not at all. The lack of a buff effect was actually a very amazing point, indicating that this bottle of wine reached Epic-tier by virtue of its rarity and wine quality.

Whitebeard didn't say any words of thanks. Clearly, this bottle of wine was an extra reward.

Su Xiao put 【Margaux】 into his storage space. This thing was very precious. When negotiating with some powerhouses who were addicted to alcohol, the value of this thing would be higher than Epic-tier.

The three-masted sailing ship set sail. The large ship where Whitebeard was gradually disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight. And Whitebeard, Marco, and Jozu all stood in front of the cabin, watching Su Xiao off. These were all pirates who valued relationships very much.

Four hours later, Su Xiao stepped onto Datanao Island, this tourist island famous for its flesh trade.

At the same time, in the central area of Datanao Island, in a room swirling with steam, a woman who was naked and maintaining her skin sat up. Wet golden hair tips stuck to her neck. She picked up a photo that had suddenly appeared beside her hand.

"This plague god, why is he back again?"

The woman's brows were tightly locked. She was the Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy, one of the leaders of the underworld. She seemed to have a relationship with the Revolutionary Army, but in reality, she was a member of CP0, a double agent. Before, when Su Xiao and Marco were discovered by the CP department, it was she who had moved her hands and feet in the dark.
