Chapter 59

"Brat!" Crocus could only shake his head.

"Forget it, if you want to exchange information, then let's do it."

" I see." Vermillion patted Crocus' shoulder with a satisfied expression.

"As a fellow doctor, information exchange is necessary, after all, it can improve medical skills. Who knows, maybe it can help you treat that whale."

"I hope so." Crocus sighed.

"Okay, then I'll wait outside. You guys can chat all you want." Vermillion said.

"Hmm." Tsunade nodded.

"What a marvelous medical technique..." Seeing the wound on his hand recover thanks to Tsunade's chakra, Crocus was amazed.

"Amazing techniques as well as medical theories I've never heard of before, if I had mastered these earlier, then I would have been able to cure Roger. Too bad..." Crocus sighed heavily.

"Thank you, Dr. Tsunade."

"No, thank you, Dr. Crocus." Tsunade shook her head with a smile.

"I got a lot of useful information from you. You are indeed the real Roger's doctor."

"In that case, I should get going. I don't want my little lover and other friends to wait too long. Goodbye!" Tsunade waved her hand.

"I hope to see you again in the future. Goodbye, Dr. Tsunade." Crocus nodded with satisfaction.

"Have I kept you waiting, Master~?" Tsunade wrapped her arms around Vermillion.

"No, let's continue our journey."

"Umu~"

Carrying Tsunade in a princess style, Vermillion flew to the Golden Hind using Psychokinesis.

***

After five days of sailing the seas, the Golden Hind finally reached its first island since their arrival on the Grand Line.

Despite the dark skies and the mist in the air, Vermillion could still see a prominent cactus-shaped island in the distance.

After docking, everyone got off the boat and walked towards the local village.

Although it had turned night, many villagers were still wandering the streets. Vermillion, who was familiar with this place, knew that he had arrived at Cactus Island.

Given his current Bounty, he was curious if someone would be brave enough to try hunting down his head here.

His group's footsteps made many of the villagers aware of his arrival. They were stunned when they found out that the new people were Drake pirates!

As Bounty Hunters, they actively read newspapers and keep a large number of Bounty papers.

Many people choose to back out. Although their Bounty tempted them, they weren't crazy enough to try to fight the monsters.

But not everyone was a coward; some people were still curious and wanted to hunt them. Such a large bounty was too tempting for them to ignore.

"Hey, you guys!" A rather pretty girl in revealing clothes walked over while swinging her hips.

"Welcome to Whiskey Peak! I run a hotel here, would you like to come and have some wine?"

"Oh?" Drake was immediately interested when she heard the words 'wine' spoken. "Okay, take us there. Vermillion, let's go there."

"Alright, alright." Vermillion could only shrug. Since Drake had asked, he would accept.

"Young Lady, please lead the way." Vermillion said to the woman who had invited them earlier.

Although she looked harmless on the outside, Vermillion knew that the woman had certain intentions for the group.

"Okay, handsome. Come, I'll take you."

She wanted to grab Vermillion's hand but was immediately stopped by a certain Berserker figure.

"Can you pull out your hand?" Minamoto said with a smile. The lips may smile, but the eyes are the window to the soul; Minamoto's cold gaze instantly made the woman undo her intentions.

"Haha, please forgive me. Come, I'll take you in." The young Lady took a few steps back, apologizing with an awkward smile.

When Vermillion and his group arrived at the hotel, many Bounty Hunters were already waiting.

Looking at the people who pretended not to care, Vermillion only gave them a quick glance.

Before long, the young Lady had brought many glasses of wine for the Drake Pirates.

"Honored guests, please enjoy our special drinks."

Tsunade was the first to take a glass of wine. Sniffing it, she turned to Vermillion and nodded.

Seeing Tsunade's gaze, Vermillion instantly knew that this drink had something added to it.
