A few kilometers away, Thea Carroll and Luo Li were sitting together on the edge of a high cliff by the sea.
The hot and humid sea breeze blew from a distance, making the surrounding trees rustle, and Celia flowers bloomed towards the sun in the light.
"This is the season when Celia flowers bloom. It's also the time of new life."
Luo Li was in a trance while holding the teacup in her hand.
"Hehehe, yes, there is a saying that when Celia flowers bloom, they are reborn." Thea laughed, got up and walked towards a cluster of blooming Celia flowers next to her. He tapped the petals lightly with his fingers and let the delicate petals flick playfully in his hands, just like an ignorant little girl.
"..." Luo Li exhaled and her eyes regained some clarity, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "I finally know why you were the Spring Queen back then."
There was a bit of helplessness and a bit of relief in his tone.
"Queen of Spring, that's just a false name. I just recognized myself and lived according to my own style." Siya smiled, but a youthful and sweet shadow appeared faintly on her wrinkled face.
"Besides, didn't you discover it too? Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to find Carol."
Carol nodded, "You haven't come to me for decades, but you must have figured it out since you came to get it."
The corner of Luo Li's mouth twitched and she was slightly annoyed, "You two! Are you trying to laugh at me on purpose!"
Carol waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, how dare we look at your joke."
"Yes, yes." Siya agreed. "It's just your character that we told you in person that you would never recognize."
"...Is this the inheritance of the Spring Queen?"
Thea nodded.
Carol also smiled and nodded.
Luo Li was a little confused for a moment. After a long silence, he finally sighed and laughed heartily. "Really, in that case everyone can be the Queen of Spring."
"Yes." Siya confirmed.
"No." Carol shook his head and said, "The Queen of Spring is still the Queen of Spring, just as the fleet sailing in the Devil's Sea needs an excellent pilot ship. The Queen of Spring should be the leader of an era. Just like this sea breeze, that first A ray of warmth is the most healing thing."
"That's it~"
…
"By the way, why did Dr. Dorothea ask us to call her Sidnia?" Luo Li suddenly asked.
Carol also asked in agreement, "Hmm, I actually want to ask, is there any reason for this?"
Thea smiled mysteriously, but her smile was still kind and gentle, "Because she wants to usher in a new life." "Maybe she wants to change something, maybe she wants to witness something, doctor, she is undergoing a new life of choosing the future. ."
…………
"Dorothea is dead..."
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Youyouzi didn't expect that the person she had been searching for for so many days had passed away long ago.
However, Youyuko was only surprised. Although surprised, she was not surprised. Although this world has many black technologies and many things that go beyond the inherent theories in one's mind, this world is essentially a world with a partial science and technology tree, and the exchange of information is actually full of lags and errors.
To give the simplest example, although the Kingdom of Germa has been hacked all year round, in fact not many people really know the appearance of Jiazhi and the others, and those who do know will not pass on this information in many cases.
This is probably the case with Dorothea as well.
The reason for Koulokas’ recommendation is his knowledge from a few years ago. The probability that the information is accurate is actually not high.
Needless to say, there is no such thing as a resident ID card in this world. Coupled with the chaos caused by the proliferation of pirates, it is actually very difficult to determine a person's information.
As for the pirate bounty...
That may be related to the fact that most pirates are proud of having a bounty on their head. They don't shy away from revealing basic, innocuous information about themselves. The bounty seems to them to be a kind of prestige on the sea.
Youyouzi let out a long sigh and said regretfully, "Well, that's really a pity. How did she die?"
Dorothea sighed and filled herself a cup of black tea.
Black tea is a rare drink that she does not reject. When she was a doctor...
"She died because she saved someone she shouldn't have saved..."
"Three years ago, Dorothea had lived in this city for a year. She was kind-hearted and helpful. She was willing to treat people even if they had no money to treat them. But one day, a group of people The pirates came here. Then because of the internal fighting among the pirates, a person was fatally injured and lay on the beach. The doctor happened to pass by, and after some hesitation, she went to save the pirate. I think you can probably guess what happened next. You can guess it."
Youyouzi didn't know what to say. He could only nodded silently to show that he understood.
A doctor's job is to save people. There is no distinction between men and women, rich or poor, high or low, their profession is to save people for the sake of saving them.
But this is an ideal state without other influences. However, the reality is that doctors are sometimes angels and sometimes devils.
Just like the military doctors during World War II.
One shot brought you back. But after you return from the God of Death, you have to continue to face the dark war. Maybe you are missing arms and legs, are blind and deaf, and living is a kind of torture. Do you think doctors are angels at that time?
And this is also a long-standing problem in the world of One Piece.
The pirates will save him or not.
Save, it is not in line with justice.
Not saving is a violation of professional ethics.
This is a very difficult question to decide.
After thinking for a moment, Yuyuko asked, "Why did she save that pirate? Normally, even if a pirate refuses to save her, no one will say anything, right?"
"..."
"Pirates are human beings too, and maybe this time not only can this person be saved, but he can also be brought back to the right path, isn't it? That's what she said." Dorothea said lightly, her eyes meeting each other quietly. Youyouzi. "I kept thinking whether she was right or wrong in doing this."
Youyouzi shook his head
"Everyone's position is different, and different positions have different views of right and wrong. The navy may hope that the other party will die quickly, and for the traitor, the sooner he dies, the better, but his family, His companions, those to whom he has shown favor, may want him alive. It is not for us to say what is right or wrong, but for her to judge."
"You have to judge for yourself? What if you don't even know the answer?"
This question stopped Youyouzi.
The most troublesome question is that you don’t even know the answer.
However, after Youyouzi briefly thought about it, he suddenly became enlightened and laughed softly. "Don't she already know the answer? Isn't the reason the same as what you just said?"
Dorothea was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly.
"It turns out...it turns out that this is the case. The answer has been there for a long time, but it has been forgotten."
An envelope flew towards Yuyouzi in a spinning direction, and with a thought, a gust of wind stopped it in front of her. However, after Yuyuko saw the envelope clearly, she was instantly speechless. "Hey, isn't it? You actually stole something while the patient was unconscious. What's your medical ethics?"
"Medical ethics? Tsk!" Dorothea looked disdainful. "Have you given any money before talking about medical ethics? Let me make it clear first, it's been more than a week and I haven't received a penny. And the medicines I spent on you are all It’s more than 100,000 Baileys. This doesn’t include my consultation fees, surgery fees, and labor costs. If you want to say this, this is not stealing at all, this is called premeditated use of treasure to pay off debts. Unfortunately, I have only searched around for you. This letter seems to be of some value."
Youyouzi pouted and hummed, "Tsk, it's just the medical expenses~" "Don't worry, I won't miss you. But before that, I want to say something else."
Yuyuko took a breath and asked Dorothea seriously, "Sidnia, are you willing to travel with us?"
"Let me tell you, although we are pirates, we are not the kind of excessive pirates. We are just a group of people who want to travel around."
Dorothea smiled lightly and replied calmly.
"Okay~"
"Although our bounty is very high, in fact we have never done anything bad!" Yuyuko showed a shining star eye in order to prove that her group of people were harmless.
"..." Dorothea almost spit out the black tea she drank. Mainly because Yuyuko's sudden act of cuteness caught her off guard.
So he shook his head helplessly and then raised his voice and said word by word, "I~ said~ it's okay!"
Yuyuko's eyes sparkled even more, "Really?!"
"Really~"
"Can the medical expenses be waived this time?"
"..." The corners of Dorothea's mouth twitched, not expecting Yuyouzi's move at all. He rolled his eyes and glared at Yuyouzi fiercely, "It's not free, but it can be discounted."
"A discount is fine, how much?"
"Well~ since we are already acquaintances, let's get a 20% discount."
Youyouzi's smile froze in an instant, and her mouth tilted, "Tch, stingy."
"Sidnia, I just had a question?" At this time, Kona, who had been lying on the bed next to her, stood up and looked straight at Dorothea, "Why do you know so much about Dorothea?" "
Dorothea smiled slightly, "Of course..."
Just as he opened his mouth, the ward door was suddenly pushed open. Golf looked at Dorothea in panic, "Doctor Dorothea is not well! Here comes the Admiral!"
Dorothea spread her hands and shrugged. "Well, that's it."
…
Qing Zhi scratched his fluffy hair and felt helpless.
Why did Shichibukai always ask him to go when he wanted a girl?
He is really not good at dealing with women!
Especially that troublesome kid...
Qingzhi thought of his experience of being hugged in the face on Nine Snake Island, and his whole body felt bad.
Why is every black haired brat in such trouble...
First, there is Nico Robin. I heard that someone recently transported her to the Grand Line.
Then there's Boya Hancock, another branch of the Navy who was recently turned into stone.
Now here's this guy again. Not to mention that the bounty increased, but as a result, he was recruited by the World Government into the Shichibukai. He was also asked to escort me to Santa Maria delle Gragio. He really didn't want to go to St. Mary Joan. Having studied under Garp, he inherited Garp's thoughts and has always had an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude towards those Tianlong people who are not doing business.
So it was really boring to go to Santa Maria Gioia and all that.
But it happened that this was something Warring States and Five Old Stars were urging him to do, so he had no choice but to accept it.
The location is Santa Pobla, the Queen of Spring City. Just take the sea train from Carnival City to a relatively nearby island and transfer there. The time limit shall not exceed three days at most.
However, after taking the sea train, Kuzan did not choose to transfer to other ships but got on his bicycle. So the time dragged on for almost a week.
"Is this here? You are really young, and you are already so skilled at hiding your aura?" Because when he was in Carnival City, Kuzan casually took note of Yuyuko's aura, so after he arrived at Santa Bobola Then I found Dorothea's small clinic while looking for an inconspicuous smell.
There was a somewhat burly man at the door, but Kuzan didn't think much about it and pushed the door open to get in.
"Stop, who are you? This place is not open to the public now. If you want to see a doctor, I can help you ask the doctor." Golf puffed out his chest and stopped Qing Pheasant.
From Golf's point of view, although this big man was a head taller than him, he looked sick. He was probably here to see a doctor.
"Ah~ Trouble. I'm not here to see a doctor. I'm a naval admiral, Kuzan, and I'm here to see someone." Kuzan slowly raised his hand as he spoke, and instantly a string of ice picks formed from his hand. "Santa Bobla is very close to Shampoo. People here probably don't know me."
Qing Pheasant's words are not nonsense.
The Santa Pobra line is actually the best route controlled by the Navy, especially after the sea train was opened to traffic in the past few years. Judiciary Island, the Capital of the Seven Waters, and Carnival City are connected together, and the navy's power is quickly consolidated along the sea train on the edge of the island with the sea train. Among them, the Santa Pobla area is the focus of attention. The prosperity and wealth here provide a lot of wealth to the World Government, and of course it also enriches the navy's purse. Therefore, the navy's propaganda is also the most publicized here. As for the key point, the photos of the three generals of Santa Pobla have also been circulated here. On the way here, if he hadn't deliberately taken off his navy shawl and walked as far as possible, he would have met a lot of 'enthusiastic' girls.
The kind that is so enthusiastic that you want to give birth to a monkey for him. Very troublesome.
Sure enough, Kuzan's ice pick made Golf break out in a cold sweat.
He used to be a pirate, and after he became a full-time pirate, he also collected a lot of information in Santa Bobola. Naturally, he also had information about Aokiji. Among them, the description of Aokiji included information about a person with the natural ice fruit ability. This skill of making ice allowed him to instantly match people with identities.
But Golf didn't panic, but nodded, "That's right, but there are patients in the clinic now and they need to be quiet, so please wait here while I go and call the doctor first."
After talking about golf, he hurried upstairs.
"..." Qingzhi shook his head, threw the ice pick aside, and walked into the clinic leisurely, "That requires so much trouble~" "I'm not here to cause trouble~"
