Abel, having recovered his energy, first checked on Hina's condition. He was surprised to find that she was barely hanging on to life, just unconscious!

But if he just left her like this, the result would be the same.

After careful consideration, Abel decided that she was more valuable alive.

Even if she were to die, it should be after he had fully utilized her.

He looked around and realized that everything was in chaos.

A part of the Navy was still fighting, while the rest were enraged and wanted to rush over to rescue their fallen comrade.

And the surrounding pirates, of course, couldn't let them do so, promptly blocking them.

In addition to that, it seemed Diamante and the others had heard about the changes here and initiated a counterattack. Consequently, no enemy could approach Abel for the time being.

"Are you two also from the Navy?"

Abel noticed two individuals dressed differently from the other navy soldiers nearby. They were shakily crawling away.

He quickly grabbed them and began questioning.

Upon recognizing Abel's face, probably from watching the earlier battle, the two started trembling violently.

"Yes, no... no."

"Hmm?"

"Please don't kill us. We're part of the medical evacuation team, responsible for transporting injured personnel to the rear. We never participate in battles, please, let us go."

After hearing their anxious explanations, Abel finally understood.

"There's a department like that within the Navy?"

"Actually, there wasn't such a department before. It was established temporarily by Vice Admiral Tsuru to reduce casualties among elite naval soldiers, and it has been maintained until now."

Desperate to survive, the two men answered every question with great cooperation. They were so forthcoming, they might as well have disclosed the color of their underwear.

Upon hearing this, Abel thought that this does sound like something Tsuru would do.

"Can you treat injuries?"

"Well, we've only learned basic first aid, like stopping bleeding and bandaging wounds. More complicated treatment would require a doctor."

"Good, you're hired!"

Abel immediately made up his mind. He was only looking for some menial labor, but ended up with unexpected gains.

"You know who she is, right?"

After bringing them to Hina, Abel squinted his eyes and asked.

"Yes, she is... she is Officer Hina."

"That's all I need to know. You'll give her basic bandages right now to stop the bleeding. If she dies, you die. Got it?"

The men looked bitter but could only nod in agreement. They hurriedly took out their bandages and medicine to save her. As the person they were saving was a Navy officer, they didn't have any resistance.

However, when they saw the deep, long, and ghastly wound, they were startled.

They thought it was a miracle that Officer Hina was still alive!

A few minutes later, once the bandaging was completed, they wanted to give further treatment, but Abel quickly said, "As long as she doesn't die now, you two carry her and take me to Vice Admiral Tsuru."

"And remember, I don't care what happens later, but...
