Chapter 107: Rosinante, It's Time To Take Your Medicine
Drum Kingdom is not too far from Alabasta, the two countries can be said to be neighbors.
However, it is obvious that the strength of Alabasta far exceeds that of the Drum Kingdom. The Drum Kingdom is bigger, but it is still in constant winter, and the supplies are not abundant enough, and it cannot bear too much population.
And Alabasta... just the capital of Alubarna, has a standing army of 600,000... Later, Crocodile engaged in a pirate coup d'état here. After a set of operations, Alabasta fought wars with millions of people!
It can be said that in the world of pirates, Alabasta is the only place fighting with sheer quantity!
It is also because of the extremely strong conventional military that Alabasta is considered a world-class military power.
Unfortunately, Alabasta did not have a leader with strong personal strength, otherwise Crocodile would not have taken over so easily.
At this time, on the route to Alabasta, Doflamingo's ship is sailing in the sea.
Inside the cabin, Rosinante's residence.
Rosinante was sitting on the sofa at this time, watching the waves outside through the round window.
He's almost forgotten, how long has it been since he went out to breathe fresh air?
Since being brought aboard by Doflamingo, he has been kept in this room almost all the time.
Although he was very depressed, he didn't dare to act rashly. Rosinante also doesn't trust the current attitude of Donquixote Family towards him.
His cunning and insidious elder brother may not have complete trust in him.
But Doflamingo shouldn't doubt him very much, otherwise, with his character, he would have killed him long ago, just like he killed their father without hesitation back then.
So this should be a test, as long as he endures this test, Doflamingo should have no doubts about him.
Then he can successfully break into the upper echelons of the Donquixote Family.
For this... so what if he feels a little wronged?
He is a strong Marine!
Just when Rosinante had prepared himself psychologically again, someone knocked on the door, and before Rosinante could reply, it was already opened.
Afterwards, the fat and greasy Machvise walked in with a smile.
"Rosinante, are you feeling better?" Machvise stepped forward and asked.
Rosinante didn't speak, but nodded earnestly, as if telling Machvise that he's fine.
"You can't speak yet... Sigh, it seems that your condition is still not getting better, but don't worry. We passed through the Drum Kingdom before, and the Drum Kingdom is a world-renowned medical power. There are many powerful doctors there. Doctor Nelson even brought your medical records to participate in a seminar to discuss your condition..." Machvise sat beside Rosinante and said.
Rosinante: ? ? ? ?
What seminar? Is there a need to go through so much effort? It's not like there's a way to cure my acting, right?
"My lord said that you are his blood brother, and he will try his best to cure you, don't worry..." Machvise patted Rosinante's shoulder again and said.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and then Dr. Nelson came in with a medicine jar in his hand.
"Oh, Rosinante, you seem to be in good spirits." Dr. Nelson greeted Rosinante with a smile.
He seemed to be in a good mood, but half of his face had already been stained a strange white color due to amber lead.
Dr. Nelson, who was originally plain and ordinary, now looked hideous.
After performing a series of examinations on Rosinante, Dr. Nelson sat on a chair beside him and said: "I was in the Drum Kingdom, and I talked to many famous doctors about your condition, and everyone gave me a lot of inspiration...this is the new medicine I prescribed for you, don't worry, it doesn't have any particularly harmful side effects."
Rosinante looked at the jar full of medicines that Dr. Nelson put on the table. After a moment of silence, he wrote on the paper with a pen: "How much is the amount? How many pills do I need to take a day?"
After reading the note, Dr. Nelson laughed and said, "Rosinante, you misunderstood. After discussing with many experts, you need to take serious medicine for your condition. This medicine jar is your daily dose. Eat with confidence, if you don't have enough, we have more!"
Rosinante: ? ? ? ? !
Just when Rosinante was a little confused and at a loss, Machvise had a 'gentle' smile on his face, and he held Rosinante's shoulders and said, "Come on, Rosinante, it's time to take medicine."
Then, ignoring Rosinante's desperate struggle, Machvise opened his mouth and poured the whole tube of medicine into it.
After Rosinante finished taking the medicine in pain, Machvise asked in a careless manner: "How is it? Are you full?"
"You're welcome to take more if you don't have enough... I still have some!" Dr. Nelson said with a smile.
Finally, with Rosinante's pained expression on his face, Machvise and Dr. Nelson left.
At the same time, on the deck, Doflamingo sat cross-legged under the mast, with a table in front of him, and some wine jugs, wine glasses, fruit plates, appetizers and so on were placed on it.
But these are not the point, the point is that there is a Devil Fruit that looks like it has grown lips, which is right in the middle of the table.
Beckman, Vergo, Diamante and others all sat at the table, eating and drinking together.
After a while, Dr. Machvise and Dr. Nelson came out of the cabin.
After Doflamingo saw them, he waved and said, "Come and sit down."
Dr. Nelson sat down next to Doflamingo, picked up the glass very naturally and drank.
He has joined the Donquixote Family for so long, and he has gotten used to the atmosphere here. How should I put it, there are really not many good people in the family.
Forget good people, even if you talk about normal people, there are not many of them.
To the outside world, they are cruel, violent, and evil, but to the inside, as long as you are a member of the Donquixote Family, they will treat you as family.
Over time, Dr. Nelson is also used to seeing other people as his family.
After eating two mouthfuls of appetizers, Dr. Nelson touched his somewhat stiff white face, sighed and said, "I think my disease may not be cured, my lord, I fear you will have to take care of Law and Lami in the future..."
"Don't be discouraged, we have already offered a reward of 6 billion for Op-Op Fruit, which is 1 billion more than the world government. We will definitely find it and help you cure your illness." Doflamingo also patted Dr. Nelson on the shoulder and said.
To be honest, at the beginning, Doflamingo was just aiming for Trafalgar Law, and the rest, including Dr. Nelson, were more or less "additional".
But now after getting along for so long, Doflamingo has developed a certain relationship with him, and now he really wants to find Op-Op Fruit to save their family.
After chatting for a few words, Doflamingo looked at Machvise and asked, "How is it with you?"
Machvise immediately said: "I have been studying for several months, and I have a thorough understanding of Rosinante's small movements, instincts, habits, etc... But that guy still refuses to speak now, so for the time being, I have no choice but to hope that if we continue to feed him our 'strong medicine' till he can't take it anymore, that guy's condition will start to 'improve' and he will talk."
That's right, the reason why Doflamingo and others gave that huge jar of expired medicine with god knows what effect is, on one hand, because that guy is a traitor and an undercover agent, and on the other hand, it's because this dog is very 'hard-spoken'. After so long, why don't you want to speak!
So Doflamingo and others can only think of this kind of ruthless move to defeat Rosinante's "defense line", so that he can't stand the situation anymore, get him to say "the condition has improved", and he can speak by himself.
"Then try to treat him for a few more days." Doflamingo said after thinking about it.
Then, he pointed to the Munch-Munch Fruit on the table, and asked, "Vergo, Senor, are any of you interested? This fruit is very good..."
Vergo immediately shook his head and said: "I said before, except for Zoan, I won't consider the rest."
Senor smiled and said: "I don't plan to become a devil fruit user for the time being, my lord, there are too many users on our ship, I'm worried that in case of force majeure, everyone falls into the water, Virgo won't be able to manage it all alone."
"Hahahaha, that's right, if we encounter a huge storm, wouldn't we all be finished?" Diamante said with a big laugh.
Originally, he was not a capable person, but now he has become a capable person of the Hot fruit.
Another advantage of Diamantie's hot fruit ability is... For the "Cervantes" that is being built in Water Seven, besides Beckman, there is another energy source source.
The thermal energy of Diamante will also be able to meet the demand!
Although what Senor said was a joke, after Doflamingo looked around the crowd, he found that what this guy said was not unreasonable!
Because Donquixote Family came into contact with the Devil Fruit business very early, they stocked up a lot of Devil Fruit very early on. Coupled with the opportunity during this period, in short... the cadres present, at a glance, are almost all devil fruit users!
What the hell...if a catastrophe really happens, it's really dangerous!
Thinking of this, Doflamingo pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "In my opinion, we need to find some friends who are good at swimming..."
"Murloc?" Beckman frowned.
"That's right, they don't need to be very powerful. At the critical moment, it's enough for them to get us our of the water." Doflamingo nodded.
He began to miss Master Tom from Water Seven in his heart again. If he could become the shipwright of Donquixote Family, wouldn't it be amazing?
In his impression...there are not many murloc masters, right? Jinbei should be the most outstanding one.
But obviously, it is impossible for Jinbei to get along with himself at this stage.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Doflamingo couldn't help imagining mermaids again. Speaking of which, when he was young, how many of them did his cousin raise at home... Doflamingo was really envious.
