Chapter 129: Chopper: What Kind of Good Person Treats Injuries Like This!?

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Chopper: What Kind of Good Person Treats Injuries Like This!? Chapter 129: Chopper: What Kind of Good Person Treats Injuries Like This!? Woo— Woo— Woo! The Sea Train, like a long serpent, floated on the sea surface, speeding towards Water 7 station at an incredible pace. Thanks to Franky’s masterful skills, not only the Rocketman but also the Puffing Tom, which had been battered and broken by bombardment, were both repaired by him. Due to the Rocketman’s flaw of being unable to decelerate or stop, the Puffing Tom followed at a distance behind it. Further back still, two King Bulls were towing the tail of the train using a giant ship hook. The two giants rode the Bulls, while the Franky Family crammed into the Puffing Tom’s remaining two carriages. At this moment, inside the sole passenger carriage of the leading Rocketman... "Z—Z—Z!" Luffy lay flat on the floor, a snot bubble rising and falling with his breath, already fast asleep. "Alright, Zoro." Chopper took two steps back, looked up, and instructed, "Remember, you absolutely cannot train for the next few days, understand?" "Tch. So troublesome." Zoro pursed his lips, his entire body wrapped round and round with bandages, looking like a mummy. He simply stretched his arms a bit, found the bindings somewhat uncomfortable, and said disdainfully, "These are just minor injuries. I’d be fine tomorrow after a drink and a good night’s sleep." "What kind of treatment is that!!" Chopper yelled angrily, "And no drinking for the next two days either! Reiner! Sanji! Help me keep an eye on him!" Thump! With that, Chopper angrily packed up his tools and slammed his medical kit shut. Zoro was good in every way, except he was a terrible patient. Every time he got injured, he would train behind Chopper’s back and even ignore medical advice to drink strong liquor! Shivering with anger! So cold! "Why bother with that Moss Head?" Sanji leaned against the wall, glancing disdainfully at Zoro. "Since he doesn’t value his life, just let him die like this." Zoro sneered coldly, "Who dies first is still uncertain, Pervy Cook." The two were more stubborn than the other. Reiner looked at them, somewhat speechless. Just a short while ago, when Zoro was cut down, Sanji had been incredibly anxious. In this battle, everyone in their pirate crew was injured, with Luffy and Zoro being the most severe cases. Fortunately, though their injuries were heavy, they weren’t fatal. In this world where everyone seems to have the resilience of a cockroach, their life force was exceptionally strong. As long as they didn’t die in battle, it wouldn’t be too big a problem. Luffy, even when on the verge of death, could recover instantly and become full of vigor just by eating a meal – a bizarre existence. Even among those who had mastered Life Return, he would definitely be considered an oddity. Although Reiner hadn’t learned the so-called Life Return, relying on his powerful physical constitution, he could also achieve the effect of rapidly replenishing stamina by eating large amounts of food. He just wasn’t as monstrous as Luffy... yet. "However, don’t just disregard injuries because your life force is strong." Reiner sat cross-legged, elbow resting on his knee, propping up his face, and said coolly, "If severe injuries aren’t treated properly, it’s easy for them to leave behind hidden ailments that will follow you for life." "As they accumulate, even the strongest body will be slowly eroded by these hidden injuries. More importantly..." Reiner’s gaze shifted to Zoro as he said gravely: "If these injuries suddenly flare up during an intense battle, they often become the key factor that changes the tide of the fight. You, of all people, should understand this best." Hearing this, Zoro couldn’t help but place a hand on his chest. Beneath the layers of bandages was a scar that traversed his entire torso, ferocious like a centipede. It was the one Hawk-Eyes had left him. Even now, it hadn’t fully healed. Sometimes, when a battle became intense, that scar would always ache faintly. "Got it, got it," Zoro turned his face away impatiently, placed his three swords beside him, closed his eyes, and began to rest. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think: if his current negligence truly led to an old wound reopening and causing his defeat in a future battle, he probably wouldn’t be able to forgive himself. It’s just two days without booze. I can endure it! "Hey! How are you all doing!?" Bang! Franky suddenly dropped from the sky, directly smashing a hole in the ceiling of the Sea Train. He nonchalantly walked forward, opened his abdomen like a door, took out several bottles of cola from his modified refrigerator-stomach, and tossed them to the group. "I came to talk to you about something." Franky casually walked over, sat cross-legged opposite Reiner, and said with a burning gaze, "Speaking of which, you’re the one who injured my boys, right?" "—Oh! So you came for this?" Reiner suddenly remembered something. "I almost forgot about that. Speaking of which, I was just about to look for you too." As he spoke, he propped himself up with his left hand, his entire body leaping into the air, legs bent together. With a loud grunt, he gathered power and kicked out fiercely! "Where’s the Adam Wood, you big oaf!? Eat my Air Force Kick!!" Franky was already prepared. He directly raised his thick arms, holding them before him to block. The moment his opponent’s legs made contact, he was instantly aghast! BANG!! His entire body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a corner, landing upside down. "To actually kick me, a cyborg, flying... Such terrifying power!" Franky, covered in dust, climbed up, brushed himself off, and said: "But don’t misunderstand! I didn’t come to get even for my boys! What I want to talk about is precisely related to the Adam Wood." "Then why did you come in looking like you were about to start trouble?" Reiner rolled his eyes at him. "Because it’s more imposing that way!" Franky, looking smug, walked over again and sat down, saying seriously: "The Adam Wood timber has already been ordered and will be delivered to Water 7 soon. Anyway, I also heard from Long Nose and the Tanu-Reindeer just now about your ship repairs. To show my gratitude for you saving my boys..." "I’ve decided to give you all the Adam Wood timber I bought with that large sum of money." Nami, hearing this, instantly cursed, "That was our money you used to buy it, bastard!" "Ahem, that’s not the point," Franky waved his hands awkwardly, then looked around at everyone and said gravely, "What I want to say is... please let me join you and help design this ship!" "Eh?" Chopper paused, then remembered Franky’s ability to repair the Sea Train in an instant. "Right! You’re also a very skilled shipwright, aren’t you?" "Although we’re very grateful for your kind offer, however..." Nami said tactfully, "It seems it’s no longer necessary. As for the design, that Galley-La mister has already taken care of it." "He probably only designed the main hull, right?" Franky continued, "To design a complete ship isn’t something that can be resolved in a single day. He probably hasn’t finished the detailed interior design of the ship yet." "Although Galley-La Company has a complete system and can ultimately produce work of decent quality, I... I have a ready-made design, and I guarantee I can do it better than them." "This..." Chopper looked somewhat troubled. "Although we believe in your skills, this isn’t a decision that can be made lightly. Besides, Luffy..." Everyone else had the same thought. After all, a world-renowned shipbuilding company was already designing it for them with all their effort. For someone to suddenly pop up now and say, "Leave the rest of the ship to me"... anyone would be baffled. The Going Merry was a cherished companion to them; naturally, they wouldn’t make such a rash decision, especially when the captain, who could make the final call, was still unconscious. Franky naturally understood this, but he had come prepared. "I know this is very abrupt. You all cherish this ship so much; you certainly wouldn’t easily entrust it to someone you just met." Franky opened the door on his abdomen, fumbled around inside his body, and finally pulled out a blueprint, smiling triumphantly: "This is a ship I started conceptualizing when I was ten, a design I poured all my heart and soul into! It has many SUPER NICE inventions! I want to integrate them into your ship!" Franky’s face was filled with pride as he continued, "How about this: after we get back, let’s go find that bastard Iceburg together. Anyway, the entire design of your ship has already been entrusted to him." "What the ship becomes will ultimately be his call. If he thinks these things are pretty good, then you can’t refuse, right?" "Well, that shouldn’t be a problem." Nami nodded in agreement. They had already told Iceburg all their requirements for the ship; they didn’t understand the rest. What it ultimately became was indeed up to him. "Um... Can you let us take a look at your design blueprint?" Chopper then asked. A dream ship conceived since the age of ten... honestly, he was super curious, especially seeing Franky’s proud expression, which made him feel there would be a huge surprise inside. "Hehehehe~~" Franky gave a mysterious smile. "Now is not the time to show you. Just look forward to it." His heart was also filled with immense anticipation at this moment. After all, the opportunity he had waited for his entire life was right before his eyes. Design inventions he had poured his heart into since childhood, and a ship of bonds that had transcended the miracle of life... The two were about to combine. Wasn’t this the most perfect dream ship in his heart!? Woo— Woo— Woo! The Rocketman floated on the sea surface, speeding towards ’Blue Station’. The faint light of dawn peeked over the sea horizon, its pale glimmer illuminating the gray sky, where a few bright stars were still faintly visible. At this moment, the storm had subsided, the dark clouds in the sky all dispersed. Water 7, after undergoing the baptism of Aqua Laguna, finally welcomed the break of dawn. Just like the Straw Hat crew, preparing to welcome a brand new look. "Everyone! We’re about to... hic... arrive!" Granny Kokoro, holding a liquor bottle, swayed as she walked out of the driver’s cabin. "The next stop ahead... Water 7!"
