Poisoned (1)

To save his brother, Straw Hat Luffy finally launched an attack. He attacked the poison man's body, and naturally, he was poisoned himself.

Fortunately, Magellan wasn't using the strongest poison yet, so although Straw Hat Luffy was poisoned, he didn't die immediately.

However, Straw Hat Luffy isn't feeling well either! He's experiencing weakness, dizziness, and blurred vision because the venom is taking effect in his body!

The Straw Hat Pirates have noticeably slowed down, and their sense of direction has become inaccurate. Even with Magellan standing there, they can't hit him.

Magellan glanced at Straw Hat Luffy and gave a soft snort. Then, he unleashed a Poison Dragon attack on Straw Hat Luffy. Soon, Straw Hat Luffy collapsed, his entire body covered in venom, writhing in agony.

Magellan then left, ignoring Straw Hat Luffy, as she was searching for Fanxin. Her goal was to eliminate Fanxin; as for the Straw Hat Boy, she didn't take him seriously at all.

Now that Straw Hat Boy is poisoned and on the verge of death, there's no need for him to be of any more concern.

After Magellan left, Fanxin Xin immediately emerged from the shadows. He quickly approached the Straw Hat Boy, looked at him, and said, "Idiot, I told you long ago you were no match for him, but you wouldn't listen. Now look at you, half-dead. Do you think this is any good?"

Straw Hat Luffy looked at Fanxin and said stubbornly, "Even if it means death, I will save my brother. I can't let him die."

"Didn't I say I'd go rescue them? Can't you even wait a moment?" Fanxin snapped, annoyed.

He planned to go to Marine Headquarters to rescue Ace; the opportunities would be greater there. Once he got Ace, everything would be fine. Whitebeard was there to protect him; even if the sky fell, Whitebeard would be watching. He had nothing to worry about.

But the Straw Hat Boy wouldn't listen. He insisted on coming out and going by himself—wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"I'm dying, can you do me a favor? Help me rescue my older brother, and I'll owe you one," said Straw Hat Luffy.

He had been poisoned by many toxins, mostly a mixture of them. Under the influence of so many toxins, he could feel his body deteriorating, and even if there were an antidote, he probably wouldn't recover in a short time.

He knew he wouldn't be able to get to Marine Headquarters in time to rescue his brother. Therefore, he wanted to ask Fanxin for help.

"You don't need to tell me, I'll do it myself," Fanxin nodded and said.

"Alright, don't say anything more. I'll go find you the antidote now," Fanxin said.

After saying that, he picked up Straw Hat Luffy and headed towards the infirmary. There must be an antidote in the infirmary, because Magellan is a poison man! If they didn't have an antidote, their own people would die if they were poisoned! So, they would definitely develop an antidote.

When Fanxin brought Straw Hat Luffy to the infirmary, they found many people in white coats conducting various experiments, seemingly doing research.

Fanxin went inside and said, "Hey, stop now and take a look at him. Which antidote should we use?"

Upon hearing the noise, those in white coats immediately stopped what they were doing. Looking at Fanxin and the straw Straw Hat covered in poison, they promptly shook their heads and refused.

They only serve the jailers and prison officials, not the criminals. Therefore, they won't check Straw Hat Luffy.

"If you don't examine me, I'll kill you right now." Fanxin was furious when he saw that these guys weren't going to do anything. He pulled out a diamond knife, looked at the doctors, and said viciously.

He didn't really intend to kill them, but rather to force them to examine Straw Hat Luffy. He himself didn't know anything about medicine and had no idea what to do. If he did know medicine, he could have saved Straw Hat Luffy himself.

Under the threat of Fanxin, the doctors relented. They all came over to examine the Straw Hat Boy.

A few minutes later, everyone stood up, looked at Fanxin, and said, "I'm sorry, we can't cure this poison."

"Why? Aren't you doctors? You should have an antidote!" Fanxin asked anxiously upon hearing this.

If even these researchers don't know how to cure the poison, then who can help him? If he can't find anyone, the Straw Hat Boy is doomed.

"We've only developed single antidotes, but his body contains mostly mixed poisons. So, our antidotes are useless; even if they could neutralize some of the poison, he wouldn't survive," a doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses said helplessly.

"Is there really no way at all?" Fanxin asked, somewhat annoyed. He should have been more ruthless back then; that way, Straw Hat Luffy wouldn't have run into Magellan, and he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"No, we still haven't figured out the director's capabilities," said another tall doctor.

"Damn it, this is going to be a hassle." Upon hearing this, Fanxin didn't hesitate. He picked up Straw Hat Luffy and immediately headed towards the fifth floor.

He planned to hand over Straw Hat Luffy to the Revolutionary Army, since Luffy's father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and he felt that the Revolutionary Army should be able to handle the matter properly.

After he left, the doctors immediately informed the warden of Fanxin's whereabouts. Soon, Warden Magellan, along with the prison guards, began their pursuit down below.

He pursued swiftly, determined not to let Fanxin escape. He was furious with Fanxin, for Fanxin had repeatedly thwarted his plans! If it weren't for Fanxin, he would have already suppressed all the intruders. But Fanxin was in the way, hindering his success!

"Fanxin, just you wait. I won't let you escape. I'll catch you and let you experience the power of my poison," Commissioner Magellan said viciously.

He never managed to hit Fanxin; Fanxin's senses were too sharp. Therefore, he couldn't get the venom onto Fanxin. That's why Fanxin is still alive and kicking.

If he had hit Fanxin, he believed that Fanxin wouldn't still be alive and kicking like this; he would definitely be dead by now.

Suppressing his anger, Director Magellan continued forward, heading straight for the third floor.

At this point, the Fanxin had reached the third level, the desert level. The third level was entirely desert, extremely dry, with no water to drink. Many prisoners were imprisoned here and eventually turned into sand. The yellow sand on the ground was mostly human ashes, all dried by the wind.
