Chapter 121: The Cursed One
Upon hearing Slad's words, the skinny man's face immediately showed a look of horror, and he quickly replied...
"Really?"
Ding!
Another golden peso landed on the table. At this moment, Slade's main focus was on having plenty of money.
"Hehehe! Why do you need to do this, sir? Let me explain!"
Seeing this, the fat man next to him immediately grinned and grabbed Bailey, walking over while saying...
"Hahaha! You have good taste!"
Slad laughed loudly and, imitating Mu Chong, gave the fat man a thumbs-up.
The fat man immediately perked up, decisively pulled over a stool from the side, sat down next to Mu Chong and his group, and began to tell the story vividly.
"Eight years ago, a major event occurred in the Iron Bucket Kingdom of Drum Island. The current King Wapol launched an operation to exterminate doctors. He expelled almost all the good doctors in the country, leaving only twenty doctors in the research institute in the castle. As a result, all the doctors in the country became Wapol's personal doctors. Whenever someone fell ill, they could only beg Wapol for help, and there was no other way!"
As the fat man finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his head to look towards the tavern door, a cautious look appearing on his face. Then he lowered his voice and said...
"That guy outside is an anomaly cursed by King Wapol. It is said that his family has been doctors in the Drum Kingdom for generations. They refused to leave the country because they were dissatisfied with King Wapol's expulsion policy, so King Wapol killed his entire family, leaving only him!"
"Then why do you say he's an oddball?"
When the fat man got to this point, Slad, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
Upon hearing Slad's question, the fat man's eyes widened in terror, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"Hahaha! You fatso, being greedy is no good habit, but I have money, here you go, tell me in detail!"
Seeing the fat man's expression and the gesture of his raised hand, Slade instantly understood what he meant. He issued a warning while tossing the fat man some more Berries.
"Hehehe! You're so generous, sir! The reason I call that guy an anomaly is because he ate his parents..."
"hiss!"
The fat man's words instantly surprised Mu Chong and his group. Even Mu Chong frowned and subconsciously glanced at Aisha, who was also frowning beside him.
"That guy? He ate his parents???"
Bakuna's deep voice was filled with disbelief as he leaned forward, eager to know the answer.
"Yes, sir! It was because that guy ate his own parents that he was punished by God, resulting in his current appearance, neither human nor ghost. It is said that under that black coat is a monster with three heads and six arms!"
"King Walpo has even issued a decree informing all the people of the nation that that fellow is tainted with a curse and is an ominous person. Anyone who gets involved with him will be in for a terrible time, or if they are seen by the patrolling guards, they will certainly be punished!"
When the fat man got to this point, Mu Chong's furrowed brows slowly relaxed. Based on his understanding of Wapol's Devil Fruit ability, the so-called three heads and six arms were just Wapol's tricks.
"Since he's an ominous person, why not just expel him from this island? Why keep him here?"
At this moment, Slad's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Hehehe! My lord, I do know the reason, but..."
Upon hearing Slad's question, the fat man's face once again revealed greed, and he rubbed his hands together in front of him.
"roll!"
Just then, a loud, wire-wracking sound rang out, and the fat man, his face filled with greed, instantly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
Click!
boom!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Sir... sir..."
The first thing to give way was the chair beneath the fat man; the chair shattered, and the fat man fell to the ground. He then clutched his chest and struggled to crawl out.
The skinny man, who had been anxiously watching from the sidelines, also gave up on continuing to eat and quickly fled the tavern.
"Huh? Captain?"
Mu Chong's sudden action startled everyone, who all looked at him with puzzled expressions, awaiting his answer.
"Hehehe! The so-called outcasts are nothing more than a farce orchestrated by the king of this country!"
Mu Chong raised his hand to comfort Aisha, who seemed a little off, and slowly explained to everyone.
"King Wapol of the Iron Bucket Kingdom is a Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit user. His ability allows him to modify anything he swallows. That guy with three heads and six arms is actually Wapol, who combined and modified him with his parents!"
"As for why he wasn't expelled from Drum Island, perhaps one reason is to warn all the people of this country that they are not allowed to have any doctors other than the twenty doctors in the royal palace!"
Sensing that Aisha beside him was feeling better, Mu Chong withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and slowly said...
"Hahaha! A Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit user? I've encountered another new ability. I wonder how strong this guy is?"
Enel seemed to have heard something that interested him, and his face instantly lit up with fighting spirit.
"Hahahaha! Don't even think about it, Enel! That guy is a complete waste. If you saw him, you wouldn't feel the slightest bit of fighting spirit!"
Mu Chong chuckled when he saw the excited Enel. When did this guy become so belligerent?
"whispering sound!"
Click!
Enel rolled his eyes, let out a disdainful snort, and started eating an apple, indicating that he had left the group chat.
"Hmm? If that's the case, then this guy named Walbourne is really a complete useless king! Banishing all the doctors in the country and staging this kind of prank! Tch!"
Slad adjusted his posture, muttered to himself for a moment, shook his head, and left the group chat.
Just when everyone was about to give up on the matter, Aisha, who had remained silent until now, slowly raised her head.
"Captain! I want to help that man!"
Elsa's tone was hesitant, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
"Huh? Why?"
At this moment, not only Mu Chong raised a question, but everyone present also looked at Aisha with puzzled eyes.
"Meow!!?"
"Because I... I can sense that person's soul is pure, in great pain, and yearning to be saved!"
Aisha clenched her hands tightly, her body trembling slightly as she spoke. She knew in her heart what the consequences would be if she did this; it might lead to conflict with the power of this country, so she was somewhat nervous.
"Ok?"
At this moment, Slad and the others lowered their heads and remained silent. Although there was daily commotion on the Freedom, when it came to major issues, the captain still made the decisions.
When Mu Chong heard this, he was not surprised by Aisha's decision, but by what Aisha said.
"Soul? Aisha, your Observation Haki allows you to sense the fluctuations of someone's soul?"
Mu Chong looked at Aisha with a hint of curiosity, then asked softly.
"Huh? I...I don't know, Captain! I just felt a voice in my head..."
"Hahaha! That's really good, Aisha! Your Observation Haki is truly unique. If it's really as you say, you should definitely work on improving your Observation Haki!"
Seeing Aisha's somewhat bewildered expression, Mu Chong burst into laughter. He had only known that Aisha was born with Observation Haki, but he hadn't expected it to be such a unique form of Observation Haki.
"Go, Elsa! Help that person in whatever way you want. With us here, there's nothing to fear!"
"Hehehe! Really? Captain!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Aisha's expression instantly brightened, and she happily said...
"Of course! You're our little cook on the Liberty ship! Go ahead and do your best, we support you!"
"Yes! Aisha! With me, Slard, around, no one dares to bully you! Hahahaha!"
"Fight back!"
"whispering sound!"
"Meow!!!"
"Hehehe! Thank you everyone!!!"
