Gan Fall!

In the face of the threat from the God's Guard, Nicholas was completely unconcerned. After all, with his current strength, there was simply no one on the entire Sky Island who could threaten him.

Whether it was the youthful God of the Sky Island, Gan Fall, or the chieftain of the Sandia tribe, they were not his opponents. Even without him taking action, Katie could easily deal with them.

At this moment, the commotion outside also caught Nicholas's attention, and at the same time, he noticed June frowning as she looked outside, apparently puzzled by something she had noticed.

Faintly, words like 'monster' and 'undead...' could be heard coming from outside.

For Nicholas,

The world of pirates is vast, with millions of islands.

However, the Red Land continent and the Grand Line are separated by the Calm Belt, and the Grand Line is enveloped by it.

This leads to the bizarre situation in this world - the stark contrast between the ancient islands and the technological islands.

Strictly speaking, the root cause of this difference lies partly in the inconvenience of transportation and partly in the existence of the Red Land continent and the Calm Belt.

And the difference between the White Sea and the Blue Sea is even greater. Although transportation is inconvenient in the Four Seas, there is still some communication between them, but there is almost no communication between the White Sea and the Blue Sea except for the occasional people from the Blue Sea who mistakenly enter the White Sea.

"I am the friend of your Sky Island God, Gan Fall. Is this how you treat your guests?"

Nicholas said without a hint of embarrassment. If he didn't plan to use the Sky Island as another base of his own, Nicholas wouldn't bother with this hassle, he could solve the problem with just his fists.

Upon hearing Nicholas's words, the people outside were suddenly stunned, as if digesting what Nicholas had just said.

Soon, a burly man separated from the crowd outside and walked into the tavern.

As soon as he entered the tavern, he said to the owner, "Boss, the usual."

As a qualified human trafficker, Nicholas recognized the man's identity at the first glance of his distinctive attire.

The guy who walked into the tavern was none other than Urouge, one of the supernovas many years later, and at the same time, a monk who surpassed the others in age.

"Why don't you stay in the depths of the island and come out? Aren't you afraid of being caught and barbecued by those guys? You should know that Lord Gan Fall won't be able to save you every time."

The boss brought out a large barrel of wine while speaking to Urouge.

"Oh, just ran out of wine again."

Urouge opened the wine barrel and started drinking heartily. After drinking his fill, he put the wine barrel on the counter and wiped his mouth with his hand, saying with a smile.

"Here, this is cloud pig meat. I know you've been craving this. But Urouge, you can't keep going on like this. Why don't you tell those guys the truth?"

The tavern owner said with some confusion.

"No need, thanks, boss."

Urouge smiled and then noticed the curious gazes from Nicholas and the others, turning his head to look.

"Oh ho... quite interesting."

Brook suddenly burst into laughter as he looked at Urouge.

Nicholas looked at the monk sitting there.

His gaze swept over the exposed skin of the monk, revealing a hint of green.

Infected?

"Nicholas, what I sensed earlier was this guy. It can be said that he's a moving source of infection."

"Moving source of infection?"

"Yes, although I don't know why he can keep the virus inside his body, there's no doubt he's infected."

"Alright."

"Incubation period is 5-7 days. Early symptoms include fever, body aches, and the appearance of leaf-like colors on the skin. If not suppressed, the incubation period will lead to an outbreak within three days after the incubation period, and there will be almost no way to cure it. This is called the tree fever disease."

June said to Nicholas.

Clack.

As Urouge, who was about to leave with the wine barrel, staggered and fell forward, seemingly due to fatigue in his legs.

After a few breaths, Urouge propped himself up with his hand and continued to walk out of the tavern.

"Looks like it's time for the outbreak. What I can confirm is that if this person isn't treated, he can only live for two more days at most."

As June's words fell, Urouge took a few steps forward again, but stumbled and fell to the ground once more.

This time, he didn't get up.

The people looked at each other in astonishment.

Could this guy really just die like this?

"Guests, you don't need to worry about it. He'll be fine after a while. It's an old problem of his. If you come into contact with him rashly, you'll die if you get infected with this disease."

Seemingly seeing the confusion of Nicholas and the others, the tavern owner said casually, apparently accustomed to such situations.

And as the monk fell, the guards and onlookers who had been surrounding the tavern seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing and fled in all directions.

Nicholas took a few steps forward and came to Urouge's side, squatting down to look at the seemingly unconscious Urouge with an interested expression. Could it be that even in a near-unconscious state, he can still maintain his abilities with strong willpower?

"June, treat him first."

"Okay, but I need a quiet room."

June looked at Urouge on the ground and said calmly. For her, a plague that others would avoid at all costs was just a little trouble.

Upon hearing June's words, Nicholas looked at the tavern owner.

"If you don't mind, I have a quiet room in the back for you."

The tavern owner looked at Urouge on the ground and said, apparently having heard June's words.

"Captain, let me carry him."

Seeing Brook's indifferent attitude towards the infectious disease, Nicholas agreed. As a captain, it wasn't appropriate for him to do such things, and June, being immune, couldn't do it either. So, having someone with decent strength like Brook was necessary to be on hand in case the guy woke up and caused trouble.

Soon, Brook carried Urouge's bulky body into the room behind the tavern, where June began to treat him.

Meanwhile, as June treated Urouge, a melancholic neighing of horses was heard from outside the tavern, followed by a strong man in medieval knight armor pushing open the tavern door and walking in.

"I heard my friend is here?"

The Sky Island God, Gan Fall, fixed his gaze on Nicholas and said in a deep voice.
