Chapter 163

"Doctor, this is my daughter. Since yesterday, her condition has been rough. I am terribly worried about her, and her body temperature hasn't decreased since yesterday." The little girl's father explained.

Approaching, Tsunade immediately examined her.

In the living room, Dalton, who had gathered his courage, asked Vermillion, "Excuse me, do you have any business on this island?"

"You seem to know me." Vermillion turned to Dalton. "Don't worry; I don't have any bad intentions. My coming here was purely coincidental. Previously, I met the King of your country; unfortunately, he didn't survive."

"W-what do you mean?" Dalton began to guess the meaning of the man's words.

"He attacked us, and we drowned him."

"?!!!" Dalton's body stiffened. Even though he was shocked, Dalton didn't rashly pull out his sword. He knew he was no match for him and didn't want to fight either.

"Speaking of doctors, I have escorted them back. If anyone suffers sickness, you can contact them without fear of your King; after all, he is dead," he said with a smile.

"..." Dalton was silent for a moment, then he asked, "So, your purpose in coming here was just to return back our doctors?"

"Not really. Since this country no longer has a king, surely a new king will be appointed, right? What do you think of me?" Vermillion pointed to himself with a smile.

"?!" Dalton was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"I've treated her. Let her rest for a few days, and her condition will improve," Tsunade told the little girl's father.

The little girl's father rushed in, and sure enough, his daughter seemed to have improved, no longer having trouble breathing. Coming out, the man thanked Tsunade, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you!"

"Problem solved, let's go." Vermillion takes Tsunade out.

Having regained his senses, Dalton hurriedly asked, "Is what you said true? Are you really planning to become the King of this country?"

"Disagree? If you can defeat me, I will allow you to be King."

"No, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask how you plan to govern this country." He said in a worried tone.

"I want to find someone reliable, someone who can help me rule the country. Are you interested?"

"If you are worried about the Navy and the World Government, don't worry, we will block them."

A figure watches Marshal Blue's movements from a distance while communicating with someone using Den Den Mushi. That person is Galdino, or Mr. 3 from Baroque Works.

"Hello, Mr.3 here; I found Marshal Blue and Nico Robin on Drum Island," he reported.

Ever since Crocodile heard the news about Marshal Blue possessing one of the Ancient Weapons, Crocodile had marked him. Apart from the Ancient Weapon, Marshal Blue also with Nico Robin, his main target, who can help him reach his desired Ancient Weapon, Uranus.

This is why he ordered his subordinates to monitor and track the movements of the Drake Pirates and to contact him immediately if they encountered them, especially Nico Robin.

And now, Mr.3, who happened to be on a mission on Drum Island, accidentally came across the Drake Pirates.

"Good job, Mr. 3. I promise to give you a big reward, but before that, I want you to meet Marshal Blue and convince him to contact me."

"T-talk to Marshal Blue?!" Mr.3 immediately became anxious.

"What are you afraid of? Do you want to go against my orders?"

"N-no, I'll do it!" Mr.3 hurriedly promised his boss.

"Good." Nodding, Crocodile hung up the phone.

Leaning on the sofa, Crocodile smiled, "I finally found you, Marshal Blue... I hope you accept my offer. If not, I will take extreme measures to take Nico Robin by force."

Return to Drum Island.

"What a hassle! But no matter what, I have to complete this task. I just need to talk to him, right? It shouldn't be a problem." Mr.3 tried to cheer himself up. After deciding, he wanted to see Marshal Blue, but then he realized the man had disappeared! "Where is he going?" Just as he started to wonder, he suddenly felt the hairs on his neck stand up. With stiff movements, he looked behind his back.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Nani?!" The man's sudden appearance almost gave him a heart attack!
