No Patients in the Ship's Infirmary
"There are people below."
Drake's voice came through the external communication.
"There is a cavity beneath the ship's medical room; the entrance is under the operating table."
Luo asked, "Can you go in?"
"The line is tangled in the boat; I need to remove the external anchor points first."
"It can't be demolished."
"Then tow the boat out."
It will damage the ship's hull.
"The hull can be repaired if it's damaged."
"The people inside can't wait."
"That's why I'm moving."
The sound of metal snapping came through the communication line.
Drake took a breath.
"The first wire broke."
"The wound on your shoulder has reopened."
"You can see it?"
Your screen is still on.
"Then don't look."
Luo did not answer.
Chopper re-secured Lami's respirator.
"Her blood oxygen levels are dropping."
"How many?"
"Ninety."
"I can help."
"You sit down."
"I can use ROOM."
"If you dare cut her veins, I'll break your knife first."
Luo looked at him.
Chopper raised his two hooves.
I'm serious.
Lami grasped Luo's hand.
"Dr. Chopper is fierce."
"He's always been this fierce."
Are you afraid of him?
I'm afraid he won't let me save people.
Chopper wrote a line on the notepad.
At least you know what you're afraid of.
Luo didn't reply.
The Den Den Mushi on the screen is still waiting.
"Please have the new doctor begin the shift handover."
"I'm not a doctor," Luo said.
"Medical qualifications have been confirmed."
Who confirmed it?
"Doctor Trafalgar."
Luo glanced at the duty roster.
My father never saw me grow up.
Medical qualifications are derived from blood ties and professional records.
I have no professional practice record.
"The holder of the Op-Op Fruit is automatically granted advanced surgical qualifications."
Chopper put down his pen.
It only recognizes ability.
"The Throne has always been like this."
"Then let it recognize people."
Luo reached out and placed his hand on the medical record folder.
How do you recognize it?
"Ask it, who is the patient?"
"It will answer the questions observed in the sample."
"Keep asking."
"When asked to give its name?"
"It cannot be answered simply by using a number."
Luo picked up the Den Den Mushi.
Who is patient number seventeen?
"Observe the sample."
"Her name."
Trafalgar Lami.
"Her decision-making power."
"Please confirm after recovery."
"Is she considered a commodity in the transaction?"
The Den Den Mushi) fell silent.
Luo continued, "Can she be transferred?"
"If it complies with the terms of the transaction, yes."
Who are the parties to the terms of the deal?
"Observation bed."
What's on the bed?
"Patient."
Are patients like cargo?
This time, the Den Den Mushi did not answer immediately.
Large Blank areas appeared on the screen.
Lin Qi looked at the system interface from a distance, his finger hovering over the question page.
He did not directly change the rules for Luo.
Luo has already exploited the weakness of the Throne.
Please rephrase the question.
Luo asked, "Can patients be bought and sold?"
[Medical samples are transferable]
I was asking the patient.
[Patient registration as a sample]
Who made the registration?
[Original Registrant, World Government Medical Department]
Did Lami consent to the registration?
The patient was unable to respond immediately.
How old was she at the time?
[Six years old]
Luo looked up at Lami.
A six-year-old child cannot consent to being a sample.
[Guardian has confirmed]
Who is the guardian?
[Flevance Royal Medical Administration]
"They sold the patient."
[This is a legitimate medical procedure]
"Then make the transaction records public."
The system page begins to scroll.
One bill after another surfaced.
Buyer: Donquixote Doflamingo.
Seller: World Government Medical Department.
Cargo, observation bed number seventeen.
Additional information includes patient survival records, blood samples, and ability response data.
Lami couldn't understand those words.
She only saw the price written next to her name.
"Elder brother."
"I am here."
Did they sell me out?
Luo took her hand.
"They wrote it."
Have you bought it yet?
"No."
"So, are you going to buy me now?"
Luo did not answer.
Lami's fingers stopped on the back of his hand.
"I am not cargo."
You are not.
"Then don't pay."
"Good."
Luo looked at the page.
"Cancel all transaction records for observation bed number seventeen."
[Transaction completed]
"Can the transaction be cancelled?"
[Cannot be cancelled]
"Then it's confirmed that the transaction partner does not exist."
[Object exists]
"The object is not an observation bed."
[Patient registration is attached to the observation bed]
"Separate the bed from the person."
[Lack of medical institution confirmation]
Chopper stood in front of the screen.
"I confirm."
[Institutional Qualifications Insufficient]
The old doctor said, "I'm sure."
[Practitioner Status Cancelled]
Vegapunk said, "I confirm."
[Insufficient authority of the Medical Department]
Communication was established Sengoku.
"Navy Medical Division confirmed."
The military has no right to terminate civilian transactions.
The Revolutionary Army doctor said, "Then let's have all five parties confirm it."
The page is flickering.
[Patient confirmation required]
Chopper immediately turned around.
She can answer now.
"Ask."
Chopper leaned closer to Lami.
"Lami, the people on the screen want to separate you from the observation bed. Do you agree?"
"Agree."
"Do you know that after being separated, there might be no beds, no medicine, and no original power supply?"
Lami looked at Luo.
"My brother will find the medicine."
He might not find it right away.
"Then I'll wait."
"It might hurt."
"It used to hurt too."
Chopper's pen stopped on the paper.
Do you still want to agree?
Lami nodded.
"Agree."
[Confirmed as valid by the patient]
[The relationship between the observation bed and the patient is terminated]
The goods section on the page begins to change.
Observation bed number seventeen still belongs to Donquixote Doflamingo.
The patient, Trafalgar Lami, is not a commodity for trade.
Luo said, "Leave the bed, take the patient away."
[Recipient Required]
"I."
The recipient will bear medical responsibility.
I will take responsibility for the treatment.
[Historical responsibility must be borne]
Those responsible for historical events shall bear the consequences.
[Transfer responsibility to be assumed]
The responsibility for transshipment rests with the transshipping party.
[Fee required]
"Payment by the actual user."
Doflamingo's communications were suddenly interrupted.
"Luo, you've finally learned how to negotiate."
Luo didn't look at him.
Your bill has been opened.
I bought a bed.
"Here's the bed."
"Give me the person too."
She doesn't belong to you.
She's on my order form.
"You can keep the invoice."
Luo raised his head.
"The person cannot be kept."
Doflamingo chuckled.
"You think you can just take her away after you get her off the bed?"
"I'll take it with me."
Do you know why her body has survived until now?
"Know."
"You know her condition is linked to your blood?"
"Know."
"Then you also know that she won't live long if she leaves here."
Chopper took over the conversation.
"Leaving the observation ward carries risks, but it's not a certain death sentence."
"Doctor, are you willing to gamble with your reputation?"
I'm betting the treatment plan on it.
"You've abused her body for sixteen years."
That's why we need to stop.
Doflamingo stopped laughing.
"Open the ship's medical bay."
The Throne Page responds immediately.
[Buyer requests to retrieve goods]
[Cargo, Observation Bed No. 17]
[The current patient has terminated their affiliation.]
[Should the buyer be allowed to enter the ship's medical room to collect the goods?]
Luo said, "No."
[Insufficient homeowner confirmation]
"I am not the homeowner."
"I am the captain," Miiru said.
[The captain has lost his sailing qualification]
"Then I'll regain my eligibility."
Miiru picked up the Old Ship's stamp and pressed it onto the duty roster.
The seal is cracked, and only half of the characters are visible.
[Captain Trafalgar Miiru, the captain of the White Swallow]
[Sailing eligibility restored]
[Restoration of management rights over the ship's medical ward]
Miiru said into the Den Den Mushi, "Not allowed."
[Rejection valid]
Doflamingo's screen went black.
The next second, the hull of the White Swallow was hit by a series of impacts.
Drake said, "Someone is boarding the ship outside."
Luo looked at the screen.
How many people?
Eleven.
"Not Doflamingo."
"They're wearing navy uniforms."
The Sengoku is shown in the screen.
The Navy did not send anyone.
"They have naval identification numbers."
"The serial number is genuine."
Drake turned around.
"Captain, the man in charge is named Smoker."
Another voice came from the communicator.
"Trafalgar Law, hand the patient over to the Navy."
Luo asked, "The reason?"
"Protect patients."
Who signed the order?
"Marine Headquarters."
Sengoku said, "I did not sign it."
"Just because you didn't sign it doesn't mean the Fleet Admiral didn't sign it."
Even Fleet Admiral wouldn't sign such an order.
The other party was silent for a few seconds.
Then, the sound got closer.
"Mr. Sengoku, you are right."
On the screen, the door to the ship's medical room on the White Swallow was pushed open.
The man standing outside the door took off his navy cap.
He was not carrying a weapon.
He only had a transfer order in hand.
"Because I signed the order myself."
The Sengoku saw that face clearly.
"Aokiji?"
Aokiji looked up at the camera.
"This time, I'm here to pick up a child."
