Hospital Commotion, Setting Out for Hachinosu

Marineford Military Hospital

Pushing open the ward door, a strong smell of disinfectant hit Roy, and the first thing he saw was a chaotic ward:

On the hospital bed, Sanji had lost a lot of weight, his face was as pale as paper, a IV line was inserted into his arm, and he wore a thick black eye patch, as if afraid that he might accidentally see the nurse spitting blood again.

He was so weak that his breath trembled slightly, as if his soul had been drained.

In the corner, Luffy and Ace stood like two schoolchildren who had done something wrong, holding up their medical records as punishment, while the head nurse scolded them angrily.

"Don't you two know that a patient needs quiet?!"

The head nurse slammed her hand on the medical record, the sound shaking the glass, "Mr. Sanji lost too much blood, and you actually took him to eat 'Volcano Hell Spicy Barbecue'?!"

Ace shrank back and muttered softly, "We just thought Sanji needed some blood..."

Luffy scratched the back of his head, looking guilty, and said, "Besides, he seemed to enjoy his meal..."

"You dare talk back?!"

The head nurse glared at them, and the two brothers immediately shut up, their shoulders slumping like deflated balloons.

Just then, the two brothers saw the tall figure appear at the door, and their eyes lit up instantly:

"Roy!! Help--!"

The head nurse immediately noticed the commotion behind her and whirled around—

He met Roy's gentle yet deep eyes.

Roy, draped in Justice Coat, stood against the light, his handsome face bearing a faint smile, his voice gentle:

"I'm sorry, it was my brothers who caused you trouble."

The head nurse's anger froze instantly, a blush quickly spreading across her cheeks, her eyes turning into hearts. "Lieutenant Vice Admiral Roy?!"

The other nurses were also peeking in from outside the door, and couldn't help but exclaim in small voices, "It's Vice Admiral Roy! A legendary figure from Marine Headquarters!"

The head nurse's tone softened instantly. "Oh, it's your younger brother... It's alright, it's alright~ He's young, it's normal for him to be lively..."

Luffy and Ace stared wide-eyed. "???"

(This wasn't how they were yelling at us just now!!)

Roy smiled slightly, "But they did make a mistake."

His gaze shifted to the two brothers, his tone gentle yet authoritative. "Apologize."

Ace and Luffy immediately bowed and shouted in unison, "We're sorry!!"

The head nurse waved her hands repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright~"

Roy nodded. "I guarantee they won't do it again."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Ace and Luffy with one hand, lifting them up like kittens, then turned to leave.

Before leaving, Roy smiled slightly and bowed politely to the head nurse, "Thank you for your hard work."

The head nurse covered her face on the spot, almost fainting. "Vice Admiral Roy... he's so handsome..."

Stepping out of the hospital room, Ace and Luffy immediately started chattering and complaining, "Roy, we really didn't mean to!"

Sanji had a great time eating!

"That head nurse is so fierce!"

Roy stopped and sighed.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two iron Iron Fists landed firmly on the two men's heads, instantly creating two large, steaming bumps.

"Aww--!"

The two brothers clutched their heads and screamed in agony.

Roy said expressionlessly, "If you keep causing trouble, I'll send you to get some special training from Garp."

Ace and Luffy froze on the spot, immediately shutting up and behaving like two quails.

Inside the hospital room, Sanji weakly raised his hand, his voice barely audible, "Mr. Roy... please tell me..."

"What's the name of that beautiful nurse...?"

The head nurse turned around at the sound of her voice, a gentle smile on her face, "Mr. Sanji, please get some rest~"

"Puff--!"

Upon hearing the gentle voice, Sanji's nose gushed blood three meters high again, and he immediately passed out.

After lecturing Ace and Luffy, Roy sighed and turned to look at Sanji, who was surrounded by nurses in the ward.

Sanji was so weak that he could barely lift his hand. The nurses carefully changed his IV bag, afraid that they might accidentally cause him to bleed and faint again.

Roy whispered to Law beside him, "Sanji hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't think about training for now; let him rest and recuperate."

Luo nodded and quickly wrote it down.

"Also," Roy added, "Notify the Science Unit to have Usopp come and help look after Sanji after his training."

Luo raised an eyebrow. "Usopp? Isn't he spending all his time in the Science Division developing new bullets and improving sniping techniques?"

"Hmm... it's about time to go out and soak up some sun."

After saying that, his gaze fell on Ace and Luffy, who were still playing around in the distance.

Two burly men, each nearly two meters tall, were fighting over the last meat bun in the corridor like two unruly children.

"If these two have a few more days of free time, they might just tear Marineford down..."

Roy stopped in his tracks, hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the two unruly children.

"You two--"

As soon as the sound was made, the two brothers immediately pricked up their ears like deer and obediently stopped what they were doing.

"Perfect timing, I have something to arrange for you."

Roy remained calm. "The first option—accompany Vice Admiral Garp his special training."

The words had barely left his mouth when the two brothers jumped up almost instinctively, shouting, "We choose two!! We choose two!! Two two!!"

Roy chuckled, "I haven't even said what the second one is yet."

"We don't want to train with Grandpa anyway!!" the two brothers said in unison, their expressions terrified.

"Alright, then two." Roy shook his head, secretly chuckling to himself.

"Recently in the New World, there's a Pirate so arrogant he wants to rule the world, constantly proclaiming his ambition to become one of the Four Emperors."

"I plan to send you over there to 'set things up'."

"There's going to be a fight!" Ace's eyes lit up instantly.

"There's meat to eat!" Luffy's eyes lit up, and his stomach rumbled.

"Let's go now!!" The two were filled with fighting spirit, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Roy reached out and placed a hand on their shoulders. "Don't rush, I'm worried about you two going out alone."

"This time, someone will be assigned to guide you, and you must follow her instructions."

"Huh?" The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The next day, early morning, Marineford Harbor

The morning mist enveloped the entire naval port, the sea breeze carried a chill, and the occasional cry of a seagull broke the silence.

A large warship was docked in the Harbor, with supply boxes and weapon racks neatly arranged on its deck, and soldiers were making final preparations for departure.

Ace leaned lazily against the railing, yawning. "Honestly, the sun's almost up, why aren't we leaving yet?"

"What if old man Garp comes and arrests us?"

Luffy sat on the wooden crate, a large piece of meat dangling from his mouth, and asked indistinctly, "Ace, who do you think... will come with us?"

Ace shrugged. "I don't know, but Roy said he'd take orders from others, so he's probably not simple."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a light footstep echoed through the morning mist.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the mist.

His military uniform was impeccably tailored, and the Kompira sword at his waist hung silently, exuding a chilling aura of swordsmanship with every step he took.

"Oh, you two young masters are up early enough!"

The morning mist was blown away by the sea breeze, and that familiar face was fully revealed.

Gion stood in the morning light, her spirited eyes sweeping over the two of them, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Gion- neechan?!"

Ace and Luffy jumped off the Warship in an instant, standing at attention with the precision of a military parade.

The two men's faces were filled with surprise and a hint of fear. "Roy... you actually let you lead the team?!"

Gion, smiling without saying a word.

"I've received orders that, from now on, until the mission is complete—"

She paused, then her voice turned icy. "All your actions are under my command."

His gaze pierced through them like a sharp sword. "Any objections?"

"No objections!!"

The two brothers waved their hands in unison, speaking in unison, their posture resembling that of raw recruits.
