Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

half a day ago.

Accompanied by two elite Alabasta soldiers, Shiruluk set off from the dock town and went to the interior of the Kingdom of Aden to investigate.

On the way, Shiruluk couldn't stop sighing to the two soldiers.

"Ahahahaha, Aden Kingdom, the weather is so nice!"

"Oh! The scenery is good. It's different from Winter Island. It has a different flavor!"

"I don't know what special food is here."

"Hey, look over there..."

"..."

Facing two strange soldiers, Shiruluk behaved quite familiarly, even reaching the level of "noisy".

In response, the two young soldiers could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, and went with Shiruluk.

After all, who can hate a doctor who is so funny and friendly?

- Although everyone called him a "quack doctor".

...

They followed the main road and continued to go deep into the kingdom of Aden.

It has to be said that if the situation that there is an "unknown infectious disease" spreading in the country is removed, in terms of scenery alone, the Kingdom of Aden is really a good place.

It is different from the snow country scenery of Drum Island, the exotic style of the empty island, and the unrestrained desert of Alabasta.

The kingdom of Aden is full of pleasant pastoral scenery.

Like the green wheat fields that can be seen everywhere, the simple houses built of white bricks, and even a few windmills can be seen turning with the wind not far away.

The only fly in the ointment -

A bit less "angry" here.

According to the old man, after the outbreak of the unknown infectious disease, the royal families of the Kingdom of Aden immediately abandoned their country and took refuge at sea.

Before going to sea, they even destroyed all ships that could sail except them in the name of "preventing unscrupulous people from taking the opportunity to harm the world".

The residents of the Kingdom of Aden could not go out to sea to seek help, so they could only choose to stay home and use self-isolation to try to delay the time as much as possible, and then seek a cure.

In their consciousness, what they have is the "extremely contagious" platinum-lead disease.

Therefore, when the Four Seas Alliance announced that they would send medical troops to assist the platinum-lead patients in the North Sea, they finally saw hope.

After waiting for thousands of times, finally the ships of the Four Seas Alliance docked.

So, this is the beginning of the scene.

...

as the journey continues.

Soon, the three became acquainted with each other, and the topic of conversation became more and more in-depth.

A soldier asked curiously: "Mr. Shiruluk, I heard that you hope to invent a 'panacea' to cure everything?"

Shiruluk nodded with a smile, "Yes, and there has been a lot of progress recently!"

"It's impossible for any medicine to cure everything, right?"

The other soldier looked incredulous.

"If you're making an analogy, we understand, for example, that you can be a great doctor who can treat everything, but..."

The soldier paused, "Even a layman like me knows that the pathology of each disease is different, and the methods of treatment are also different. How could there be one medicine that can cure everything!"

Hearing these words, Shiruluk suddenly approached the soldier, staring at him, looking at the other party's heart.

No, I seem to have... offended the doctor?

But then, Shiruluk laughed and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't worry, I've heard too many words of yours, I'm used to it!"

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Shiruluk changed the subject and emphasized: "But I still want to say, you are wrong!"

The soldier scratched his head, looking a little confused.

Shiruluk pointed to the "beautiful" but "desolate" scenery in front of him, and said slowly, "I ask you, what do you think is the 'disease' that appears in this country?"

The soldier shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face, "That... I don't know medical skills, so I can't tell."

"No, you should have seen it."

Shiruluk squinted his eyes and explained: "Because of this 'country' itself, it is sick!"

"Um?"

The two soldiers were even more puzzled when they heard this.

Shiruluk continued: "Imagine what would happen if this epidemic broke out in the Four Seas Alliance - or simply in Alabasta?"

The soldiers thought about it and replied, "In any case, it is impossible for the ancestors and His Majesty Cobra to escape from the battle, right?"

"Yes, because that's who they are."

Shiruluk asked again: "The emperor and the king are like this, what about the officials? Will they escape?"

The soldier replied confidently: "No, Ikalem, Bell, Gaka, and everyone in the **** team can't give up their country!"

"Next question."

Shiruluk said slowly: "If - I mean, if Mr. Rowan left the royal family as quickly as possible, what would you think?"

The two soldiers thought for a moment, and answered almost simultaneously:

"We will choose to believe them!"

"Yes, that's it."

Shiruluk nodded and said: "Faced with an unknown disease, it may be reckless to choose a head-on confrontation, but at least the ruler should not give up his country, and the people of this country should have the confidence that they will not Abandoned!"

"But now, look here..."

Shiruluk looked around, and there was no one in the idyllic scenery.

He frowned and said:

"In the Kingdom of Aden, the royal family fled, and the surviving civilians chose to stay behind and wait for outside rescue!"

Shiruluk's fists gradually clenched.

"This country itself is sick!"

He pointed to his chest—the location of his heart.

"Here, I'm sick."

After saying that, the three people who were lively fell into a brief silence.

The two soldiers were thinking about Shiruluk's words, and they seemed to finally understand why the man in front of him was obviously lacking in medical skills, but he could get along well with Kureha, who was highly skilled in medicine.

As Shiruluk said, what he wants to heal is the "heart" of people.

...

The three continued to move forward, and finally arrived at a large city in the evening.

In the city, traces of life can be vaguely seen, but it is still empty.

"Ah, it looks like I'm going to sleep on the streets tonight, or just go outside the city for one night?"

Although there were people in the house, the three of them had no intention of knocking on the door. After all, in a country where infectious diseases are spreading, it is better to be safe.

The three planned to go around the city and search slowly while investigating.

If there is no suitable place, go to a hidden corner outside the city to rest in a while.

But just as they turned a street corner, they saw a scene they never imagined—

A group of people gathered together, kneeling on the ground, rustling.

One soldier couldn't help but wonder.

"What are they doing? Are they eating?"

"It's not quite right~www.readwn.com~ Stay vigilant!"

Another soldier clenched the scabbard around his waist and stepped forward.

But before he took a few steps, Shiruluk suddenly saw a shadow on the ground.

On the top, there were obvious unnatural bulges, as if countless stones were clinging to the body of the group of people, and it seemed that they were all pitted.

"run……"

Shiruluk said suddenly.

The two soldiers still didn't react.

Shiruluk looked up and saw that the eyes of the group of "people" had turned to the three of them.

been discovered!

He said even louder: "Run!"
