Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 88
“Where’s the ship’s doctor? Take out what’s inside its body.”
Nowadays, the Hundred Beast Pirate group has more than one ship doctor. Although Queen still has the highest medical skill in the group, Queen is only one. The Hundred Beast pirate group is not a tiny pirate group like Straw Hat. He can’t be too busy by himself.
Famous doctors are hard to find, but it’s still easy to find some ordinary doctors. They can be a little skilled. They can deal with simple colds and fevers, food poisoning, and traumas, which are enough; this is the most commonly encountered situation on the ship.
“This, Sacred Beast-sama, if we pull it out. It may die immediately.”
If it’s pierced by a sharp weapon, it can’t be pulled out. Even if you’ve watched a few more episodes of TV dramas, you’d know this, not to mention these pirates.
The black arrow that pierced through its body was as thick as an arm, with a significant barb on it, and the Millennium Dragon’s struggle in the air had already caused the wound to tear, and the wound was already oozing blood.
Now, the amount of bleeding was decreasing, but that was because the blood production speed of its internal organs had already failed to catch up with the bleeding speed.
“I know. You don’t need to worry about anything else. Just pull the thing out, then prepare to suture the wound.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Catching a duck in a barrel, he’d seen veterinarians forced to treat people before, but he was the first doctor to treat someone who was forced to treat a thousand-year-old dragon.
Then, an even bigger problem arose: they couldn’t stop hacking at the black arrow.
The head of the arrow has a giant barb, and the tail of the arrow is connected to a thick and long iron rope. In order to pull it out, you have to cut half of it, but the black arrow does not know what material it is made of, and they could not even leave a trace of it.
In the end, the water blade on Elizabeth’s tail cut the black arrow, and Olga acted as an anesthesiologist.
Zoroark’s powers of illusion were more than just ordinary fantasies; they had the physical ability to fool both the camera’s capture and the creature’s senses, and she inflicted the Millennium Dragon with a false illusion that she would not be in pain.
It took the combined efforts of the two pirates to pull out the black arrow.
The wound was gruesome, with broken organs and bone fragments visible, and even if he wasn’t a veterinarian, he sentenced the dragon to death.
After that, a ball of water flew out from Arceus’s body and smashed into the Millennium Dragon’s body.
A wave of water appeared on the deck, and the energy in the water droplets poured into the body of the Millennium Dragon. Not only the Millennium Dragon but also the tiny wounds of the pirates in the area were healed under the influence of the wave!
Drops of Life, a new skill after obtaining the Water Drop Slate.
Water skill is one of the few skills that can restore life force to other friends, restoring life force and enhancing the body’s self-healing ability, but this ability is only helpful against severed limbs and the like if the species initially has this ability.
The hole left by the black arrow was too big, so it still needed to be stitched up.
In the eyes of the ship’s doctor, the necrotic parts of the Millennium Dragon’s body seemed to be revitalized.
“Divine power.”
They were shocked by the Monstrous Power Technique that Babanouki had received, but the Monstrous Power Technique was an ability similar to a form of cultivation that could be interpreted as Babanouki having been strengthened.
The power to bring the Millennium Dragon back from the brink of death was even more powerful, even more so for a man who had little knowledge of medicine.
Stealing solid power almost meant that they would have one more chance of survival in the future.
“Don’t stare; hurry up and stitch up its wound!” Performing this kind of realistic illusion was also more exhausting for Olga, not only shielding her from sight but also from pain.
Looking at the frozen ship’s doctor, she prodded him a bit, which made him react and start sewing up the wound with his hands.
It was good news that the thousand-year-old dragon didn’t have hard scales. Otherwise, the needles and threads he had prepared for humans in his medical kit might not have been helpful, but now all he had to do was shave off the excess hair, and the wound could be stitched up.
But the ship’s cook did the work for him because he was too slow to shave, and the Millennium Dragon’s hair was so tough that he shaved it clumsily and with less dexterity than the ship’s cook.
With the help of the cook and the doctor, the wounds of the Millennium Dragon were treated, and by the time Olga’s illusion was lifted, the Millennium Dragon had regained its vitality.
The wound still hurts, but it’s an acceptable level for him.
It didn’t seem to understand what had happened and looked at its bald stomach with a confused gaze.
“How does it feel?”
“Roar.”
“Yeah, that’s good. Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“Roar.”
What followed was a communication between Arceus and the Millennium Dragon, but no one in the room, except Elizabeth, could understand what the Millennium Dragon was saying.
“Elizabeth, what did the dragon say?”
“It said that it was only two hundred years old and that it didn’t know a lot of things but that it could take us home and ask its father, who had been alive for over six hundred years, and that it was still saying thank you.”
Olga’s visions didn’t block out some things either; it knew that Arceus had saved it, but it hadn’t seen the tablet that Arceus had wanted either. It hadn’t even been out of the neighborhood since it was born.
But his father had flown in from the other seas, so he should know something about it, and he felt the kindness of Arceus, so he was willing to take him back home to see the other side.
The thousand-year-old dragon just can’t speak human language, and it’s not a fool. It can see who’s in charge of this ship. If it’s a human, it may not believe in the other party, even if the other party has saved itself.
However, the appearance of Arceus made it choose to trust, especially with the aura the other party gave off and the even more magical power that deepened its own trust as well.
“Roar~”
“It said it was hungry and asked if we had any food.” Elisabeth relayed this on her behalf, and after receiving authorization from Arceus, the cook had a new job.
This time, however, the job was simple, as the thousand-year-old dragon only needed raw fish to suffice.
On the other hand, Queen is thanking those who saved him from his misery with actions such as strafing the deck with a seed machine gun.
Gunfire on the ocean means a declaration of war, and since they’ve already fired, a fight is the only outcome.
Not to mention that this was the reason he had come here, and it would have been troublesome if he had done nothing.
There were countless organizations scattered across the sea, and the best way to identify them was by their flags, but the markings on the ship in front of Queen were unique.
Instead of the skull and crossbones of the pirates, the cross of the World Government, or the seagull flag of the Marines, there was a strange scalpel and ball logo on the sail.
It’s a pattern that’s not unfamiliar to Queen but to one of the most notorious groups on the seas – the Organ Trafficking and Assassination Syndicate.
