Chapter 114 - 114: Dalton's Request "Tavi? Latteg?" "Hey, Ryuen, are these two names on the list Kasso gave us?" Nojiko thought for a moment and asked. After Ryuen asked for the reason earlier, Dalton didn't know what to say. He just told them about Jefferson, Taro, and Latteg having a banquet at Wapol's castle, as well as receiving Wapol's treasure. Normally, the Dream Team wouldn't care about such things. They had seen this kind of stuff too many times—seeking benefits through bribery is something that can't be stopped anywhere. But when they heard the names Tavi and Latteg, their attitude changed. "That's right, these two names are on the list Kasso gave us. Looks like they're coming right to us," Ryuen said, stroking his chin with interest. "Hehehe—" "Perfect, I just learned several quick ways to dissect the human body from Dr. Kuhare," Daisy said with a grin. "..." Dr. Kuhare felt that Daisy's expression was terrifying at the moment... She wanted to clarify that she hadn't taught Daisy anything like that! Those strange methods of dissection were all Satoru's ideas, and had nothing to do with her, Dr. Kuhare! "Dalton, do you know when they'll leave Drum Island?" Nojiko asked Dalton. "Well... probably tomorrow, since it's getting late and they just started the banquet..." Dalton thought for a moment before answering. Dalton was really excited at this point. He had only wanted to test the waters, but he didn't expect that these adults would actually be willing to help them! "Then we'll wait until tonight to act. Also... let's do one more good thing," Ryuen said after thinking for a moment. The Dream Team all nodded. Dalton, Dr. Kuhare, and Chopper were confused, but they knew the people currently at the banquet were in for some bad luck. Dr. Kuhare glanced at Dalton without making it obvious. She really couldn't understand why the captain of the royal guard, who had been so loyal to the former king, was now doing something like this. It made her see him in a new light... It seemed like Wapol's rule was truly coming to an end. He had already reached the point where the whole Drum Island was filled with anger toward him. However, Dr. Kuhare didn't know how these young adults would handle the situation. After all, Wapol was the king of a country... "Dalton, you go back for now and tell the guard to stop guarding the castle..." After deciding when to make their move, Ryuen gave Dalton the order. "Yes!" "Master..." Dalton hesitated, then said nothing as he left. "What did he want to say at the end?" Kuina noticed Dalton's expression and asked, puzzled. "I don't know..." "I don't know either, it's just another troublesome matter..." The other girls shook their heads and spoke lightly. "I think... Dalton probably wants you to go easy on Wapol... or maybe spare his life," Dr. Kuhare said meaningfully, watching Dalton leave. The Dream Team didn't want to say much. Losing a king of a country was a big deal on the seas, but they never planned on killing Wapol. Ryuen, having read the original story, knew what Dalton was thinking at the moment. He still had some hope for Wapol, despite everything. After all, Dalton hadn't experienced the event when Wapol fled from the Blackbeard Pirates' attack, abandoning his people. "By the way, Dr. Kuhare, what would you think about controlling Wapol from behind the scenes?" Ryuen suddenly asked Dr. Kuhare. "Hehehe—" "Such troublesome things, I wouldn't want to get involved in them. The country should be governed by Dalton; he's the most suitable for it," Dr. Kuhare chuckled, refusing Ryuen's suggestion. "Dalton is indeed suitable, but he still has some hope for Wapol. So... I think you're the right person to control Wapol from behind the scenes," Ryuen said, looking at Dr. Kuhare seriously. Dr. Kureha stopped looking casual and became serious, saying, "Kid, are you sure you're not joking? The people from Drum Island call me the witch!" Ryuen didn't answer, and no one else spoke. The room was quiet for a while before Dr. Kureha laughed. "Hehehe..." "Well, I get it now. Leave this problem to me, little adult." Dr. Kureha took on the troublesome task. "Pfft hahaha—" "Little adult... Ryuen, you've become a little adult..." "Hahaha—" When the Dream Team heard Dr. Kureha call Ryuen that, they all burst out laughing. Ryuen's face turned dark, and his lips twitched slightly. It's one thing for everyone else, but Nami, why are you laughing so happily...? Soon, night fell, and inside Wapol's castle, the party had ended, and Jefferson and the two Marine Captains were already asleep. On another mountain peak, Ryuen left Dr. Kureha's small villa with Nami and Daisy. Just a few weaklings, didn't need too many people. "Is it really okay for just the three of them to go?" Dr. Kureha asked with some doubt. Though their group seemed strong, she hadn't seen them fight. After all, there were two Marine Captains over there! "Don't worry, Ryuen and the others can handle it. Now, Dr. Kureha, let's continue our discussion on the secret to eternal youth!" Anya, the cook, said excitedly. "Hehehe..." "Looks like you're a girl who knows what's good. Well, then I'll tell you..." Dr. Kureha was rarely asked about how she stayed youthful. ... About half an hour later, Ryuen and the others returned, looking calm as if they had just done something trivial. When Ryuen took out a heart, Dr. Kureha's pupils suddenly shrank because she could feel that the heart was still beating! "Chopper, go back to your room and stay there until I call you out..." Dr. Kureha suppressed her shock and said faintly. "Oh—" "Okay, Dr. Kureha..." Chopper was curious but still listened to Dr. Kureha. Once Chopper left, Dr. Kureha took a deep breath and asked, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of Devil Fruit ability. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Wapol's heart, right?" "You're right, this is Wapol's heart. So, Dr. Kureha, I'll give you one more chance. Do you still want to accept this job?" Ryuen asked Dr. Kureha seriously again. After all, Dr. Kureha is a doctor, and she's different from Daisy. Otherwise, she wouldn't have raised a kind 'son' like Chopper. As Ryuen had guessed, Dr. Kureha found this difficult to accept, so she didn't answer right away and fell silent. After a while, just when Ryuen thought Dr. Kureha would refuse, she spoke up. "Hehehe..." "Control Wapol's heart? This is really an interesting thing. Since that's the case, let me be the villain!" After saying that, Dr. Kureha reached out her hand to Ryuen. Ryuen smiled slightly and then handed Wapol's heart to Dr. Kureha. Nami: No peeking~~~ ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
