Speaking of this, Cobra looked deeply at the dome of the palace, looking at the portraits left by generations of kings of the Neferutali family, and Cobra sighed leisurely.
“When I reach my age, I no longer fantasize about doing earth-shattering things.
Besides, Alabasta, which was left to me by my ancestors, is already one of the countries with the strongest foundation, the largest population, and the largest land area in this sea.
Although my ancestors did not leave me any special identity, even that idiot King Valpo of the Drum Kingdom dared to quarrel with me at the World Conference.
But other than that little conflict, I've been very comfortable.
And all I can do is to take good care of the daughter my beloved wife left for me, and at the same time, take good care of the country my ancestors left for me!
I can see that Gawain is a very good ruler, but this is not the main reason why I like him.
What I admire is not just his art of governing. Don't every king's stewards and staff actually know how to rule the country better than the king himself?
What I like is Gawain’s only shortcomings behind all his advantages!
He is a very humane person!”
Having said this, Kobra waved his hand gently, signaling Jaka to retreat.
There are some words he doesn't want to hide in his heart, but he also doesn't want others to hear those words.
So, after Jaka left, he sat alone in the palace.
A plate of snacks, a pot of tea, and a glass of wine, he sipped and talked to himself leisurely.
"Gawain's character is a veritable ruler, and what he brings is by no means tranquility.
The best possibility is that he may become the new Five Old Stars and become the Supreme in a sense of Mary Joa.
But I don't know if the legend that has been circulating in the family and the shadow that always stands behind the Five Old Stars really exists.
In short, I hope it does not exist. In that case, Gawain's road will be smoother and the waves on the sea will be smaller.
But if it exists..."
Kobra took another sip of wine.
"If it exists, I really don't want Gawain to turn into what it is in the legend!
Even future generations are only regarded as tools by it, a being that has no human touch at all and only uses emotions as a tool...
You shouldn’t appear in this world!
Jia Ka, how do you understand that the human touch placed on rulers is a shortcoming that is not enough.
But an impersonal ruler is definitely not worthy of the trust of someone like me.
Gawain is good at using many things. Maybe I have already become his pawn and one of his tools.
But his personality, which I have observed, determines that he is destined to be unable to do certain things that I cannot accept.
Isn’t this enough?”
After the words fell, Kobra counted his own alcohol and drank the last sip of wine.
Immediately afterwards, he fell asleep completely and couldn't bear to get drunk...
…
…
…
And just when Alabasta was in full swing with the development of its railway lifeline.
In the Kingdom of the Drum, which is on the next flight path from Alabasta, a few people have a slight problem.
On the edge of the lake in the north of Dongdao, there is a small house that looks like it can barely be lived in.
A reindeer with a blue nose walked out.
After the reindeer looked around, it seemed that the person paying attention to it was no longer there.
So he jumped up and down happily.
After jumping twice, the reindeer shrank suddenly, and then turned into the size of a civet cat!
"Doctor Dolly must have gone to collect herbs, so I can go for a walk in the forest~~~.
There must be a lot of animals in need of treatment in the forest, but the doctor’s wife has been super strict lately, and I can’t even treat them!”
While he was talking, this little reindeer, which was walking in a human upright posture, with fur and a hat, jumped up and down, carrying a medicine box, and walked deep into the forest.
His little hooves made a squeaking sound in the snow, accompanied by his walking posture like a child.
Not to mention how cute it is!
However, the little reindeer didn't see it. Shortly after he left, the person he called Doctor Dori quietly walked out from behind the house.
Holding a cigarette in her mouth, Dori looked at the direction where Chopper disappeared and grinned.
"Chopa, my son who was picked up for free, is born to be an excellent doctor.
However, even a doctor cannot only know what a doctor needs to know.
He doesn’t understand the world at all…”
While he was talking, Doctor Dori quietly followed Chopper and walked towards the forest.
…
Soon after, Chopper came to a cave with a medicine box on his back.
I saw him walking into the cave as usual.
In the next second, hundreds of different animals appeared in his eyes, including carnivorous hiking bears, herbivorous reindeer, flying birds, and petite moles.
It's obviously such a messy thing, but somehow, these animals actually stay together peacefully.
Moreover, when this group of animals saw Chopper, they all let out all kinds of excited cries!
Immediately, more than 20 animals rushed towards Chopper, but except for these 20 or so, the other animals were all lying on the ground, trembling with excitement.
It’s not that they don’t want to welcome Chopper, it’s that they are all hurt!
On the side, looking at the animals running towards him, Chopper said hello excitedly.
"Hello everyone, have you been waiting for a long time?
Oops, I have been under very strict supervision by Dr. Dori recently. She doesn't let me go out at all.
Fortunately, I finally found a chance to run over!
Come on, let’s start with you first, Hiking Bear, his foot is injured, let me take a look, it’s a hunter’s animal trap!
The wound has been around for too long, has the fat started to rot?
It can only be cut. Hey, I hope I have brought enough medicine today."
As he spoke, Chopper instantly grew into the appearance of a little giant. He swelled his strong muscles and pressed the huge hiking bear to the ground.
"Hey, stop licking me. There are a lot of barbs on your tongue. It makes me itch when you lick it!
Come on, put your feet out and I'll fix them for you!
Bear with me, my knife is about to go in. It will hurt, right?
There are really no anesthetic drugs. Those drugs are strictly guarded by the Drum Kingdom and are only available in the hands of doctors 20!
Let me see, the muscles are fine, the rot is not very serious, and you should be able to run again."
While muttering to himself, Chopper pressed Hiking Bear's body with his left hand and pressed Hiking Bear's legs with his right leg to prevent him from moving.
Under such circumstances, he actually performed the operation with only one hand.
At this time, Chopper didn't understand how far his medical skills had reached!
At the same time, outside the cave in the distance...
Listening to the sounds coming from the cave, various animals were being treated.
Doctor Dolly put out her cigarette butts and sat on a broken tree covered with heavy snow.
"He is really kind, just like me when I just learned medicine, but fortunately he is still closer to animals..."
If he has been secretly treating people, that would be troublesome..."
While they were talking, Doctor Dolly sat down on the tree and fell asleep.
About seven hours later, Chopper walked out of the cave sweating profusely.
At this moment, his fur, which should have been furry, had long been stained by all kinds of blood and looked dirty.
I saw him constantly complaining as he walked out of the cave.
"I really shouldn't have done it. I knew clearly that if I didn't come for too long, there would be many injured animals waiting for me.
As a result, I still didn’t bring enough medicine!
Chopper Chopper~Chopper!
You want to be the panacea!
Such a low-level mistake as not bringing enough medicine is really something that should not be done...should be done...Eaaah~?!!!"
Suddenly, Chopper saw Doctor Dori sitting outside the cave.
In just a moment, Chopper's hair exploded into a plush ball!
I saw him blowing his hair while quickly hiding towards the entrance of the cave.
After feeling that he was hiding, Chopper felt relieved.
At this moment, outside the cave...
Looking at Chopper across from him, Doctor Dori felt that she couldn't help but laugh.
I obviously want to reprimand this child, but in the end... in the end, this child always makes me involuntarily happy!
Chopper has never understood that compared with medical skills, only happiness is the real panacea in the world!
While thinking about it, Doctor Dolly stood up.
I saw her reaching out and pointing towards Chopper.
"If you want to hide and observe, you should at least hide your body behind the wall and only expose half of your head to watch!
Instead of being like you now, clearly holding the wall, but only hiding half of your head behind the wall, with your eyes and body exposed outside the wall!!!
Don't you know?
You are hiding!!!"
"ha???"
Hearing Doctor Dori's voice, big beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Chopper's forehead. Then he walked away from the wall beside the cave entrance and jumped listlessly to Doctor Dori's side.
Standing in front of Doriel, Chopper lowered his head dejectedly and whispered.
"Doctor's wife..."
"What do you want me to do? Aren't you already working as a doctor?
You can obviously do well on your own, so what else do you need from me, you brat?
Let's do this, tomorrow you move out of my house and go to the sea to become a real doctor..."
"Doctor girl~~~!!!"
Before Dori could finish her words, Chopper's entire reindeer jumped on Dori's lap.
Holding Doctor Dori tightly with his short furry hands, Chopper cried desperately.
“I don’t want to leave Dongdao, I don’t want to leave you!!!
I am a reindeer. Reindeer cannot live with people. You are the only one in my life!
And I can only treat one animal now, and I will continue to learn from you!
I...I haven't realized my father's ideal yet!
I will learn from you until I become a real panacea!"
"What to study?"
After listening to Chopper's words, Dori angrily pulled it off her leg.
Then, Doriel knelt down, pressed Chopper's head with one hand, and whispered to Chopper.
"What you need to learn now is how to be a person. As for your medical skills, haven't you already found your patient?
Among those animal friends, have you encountered any incurable diseases?"
"Well……."
Hearing this, Chopper couldn't help but think about it, and then he spoke softly.
"Gunshot wounds are the most troublesome, injuries from knives, horns, and claws are relatively simple.
Therefore, except...except for the loss of life span, I have indeed never encountered any incurable disease among my animal friends.
But the healing ability of animals is much stronger than that of humans. Being able to heal them does not mean that I can heal all people!
I haven’t seen anyone yet… oops!!!”
Boom!
With a violent shudder, Doriel punched Chopper on the head.
"You still want to treat people, but do you know that even treating animals is illegal on Dongdao!
Fortunately, animals are not people and they will not report you for money!
Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have been captured by Valpo's army long ago, idiot!!!"
