A Female Practitioner of Traditional Medicine!

Golden Lion Shiki was right. Bundy Byrnndi World was lying on his back in the warship's cell, Seastone Handcuffs, staring angrily at the ceiling.

They were indeed on their way to Impel Down, and the escort was led by Vice Admiral Amyz's G-2 Branch fleet.

Borsalino lay on a beach chair, looking carefree and relaxed.

But only he knew that his mood had been affected to some extent after meeting Vidal, because the gap between them was just too big.

Although he wouldn't show it on his face, he secretly decided to go back and practice swordsmanship and Haki for an extra hour, as well as his Devil Fruit ability for an extra hour.

Hmm. Two hours, I guess!

Sleep Ancient Town.

Borsalino and his men left, but Vidal decided to rest there for two days. Both he and his men had just experienced a fierce battle with heavy casualties and needed some rest.

It's not just about physical fatigue and pain, but also about mental relaxation and stress relief.

The appearance of this Sleep Ancient Town gave Vidal a sense of déjà vu, as if he had stepped into a medieval European city from a previous life. Besides the various Western-style wooden houses, there was also that cathedral built of stone bricks!

The residents here read a religious text called the Black Bible every day, and Vidal casually flipped through a few pages of it.

The stories are all short tales that exaggerate and absurd the evil in people's hearts, but each story also warns people to learn how to control these evil thoughts, and provides metaphysical methods for controlling evil intentions.

Seeing that this wasn't some kind of cult, Vidal stopped paying attention to it.

They made their way here without disturbing the locals too much, only building some wooden houses and walls around the port.

When it's time to leave, if the residents find it in the way, they will naturally clean it up. At this moment, Vidal is also reading a newspaper in a wooden house.

"The Horn of Justice, huh? That sounds pretty good."

"But when were these photos taken? And were there any people nearby when the land was being dug?"

These two points immediately weighed heavily on his previously cheerful mood.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if someone with the ability to move freely right under their noses were to watch them fight to the death the entire time.

What if this person harbors malicious intent when he is completely out of sorts?

Even Garp couldn't possibly appear instantly from a kilometer away beside him, but this mysterious person, so close at hand, could stab him in the back without a sound!

Vidal looked at the World Economy News Paper in his hand with a complicated expression, but this time he wasn't looking at the content, but at the newspaper itself.

"Colonel, Nacil has arrived!"

"Um."

Vidal looked up, put away the newspaper, and gazed at the beautiful purple-haired woman in front of him, who had a graceful figure and wore a white lab coat.

Honestly, what she's wearing is less of a cheongsam and more like a pink jumpsuit or mini-dress.

He didn't know much about women's clothing, and I'm not sure if that's the right way to put it, but anyway, everything below the thighs was white.

"You should already know what I did with Binjack," Vidal said softly, admiring the beautiful object.

"Want to know why I kept you here?"

Nacil stood there trembling, not daring to look Vidal in the eye, and nodded quickly when she heard the question.

She had just heard that Byrnndi World's brother, First Mate Binjack, had not been taken to Impel Down with Byrnndi World.

Instead, they gave him five million Beli, allowing him to live peacefully in this Sleep Ancient Town.

So she was really hoping that Vidal would let her off the hook too. As for whether or not to stay here obediently, she'd decide later.

Vidal believed that although Binjack was the vice-captain of the World Pirates, it was only because he was Byrnndi World's brother.

He was a very gentle person and often tried to dissuade Byrnndi World from killing, but he was not capable enough to stop him, so apart from following Byrnndi World around, he did not do anything evil.

You could say that everything he ate, wore, and used before was stolen by the World Pirates, but that alone wouldn't warrant suffering in a hellish place like Impel Down.

Furthermore, since Binjack was not wanted by the Navy, he could hardly be considered a criminal.

Vidal first removed Nacil's handcuffs and leg irons, which he had created with his abilities and could now easily remove.

"I heard you're a doctor from the West Blue Flower Country, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Nacil nodded repeatedly, her big, watery eyes looking at Vidal, and quickly said, "I am proficient in all the traditional Chinese medicine techniques of the Flower Country!"

She began to understand why this man, who was as strong as a monster, had kept her around; it turned out he had taken a liking to her!

"How proficient are you?" Vidal raised an eyebrow. "Proficient in viruses, bacteria, poisonous gases, and venoms?"

"These are my areas of expertise, but I wouldn't dare say I can cure all diseases. I can also perform surgical procedures, but I wouldn't say I'm an expert," Nacil replied cautiously.

"But."

"But what?"

"My traditional Chinese medicine relies heavily on herbs, but my herbs and those prepared prescriptions were all on the ship before."

Vidal understood what Nacil meant. He had previously dismantled the World Pirates' ship, and the herbs and other items on it had naturally fallen into the sea and disappeared.

Back then, we always put treasures in wooden boxes; we didn't really pay attention to herbs.

"It's alright, I'll get you all the supplies in a few days. First, look for usable herbs in this town. The Medical Department on the warship should have some too; you can check there. We'll talk about the rest once we get to Alabasta."

He currently lacks sufficient knowledge of herbs in the One Piece world, making it difficult to cultivate them using his Pirate King Fruit powers. However, given the opportunity to examine and touch them, he can produce a large quantity anytime, anywhere.

"You mean," Nacil said, her expression a mixture of tension and joy, as if she were no longer going to be locked up.

"Yes, as I said before, you're useful to me, so from now on you'll be my personal doctor," Vidal said with a smile.

"If you perform well, I might even get you a naval rank, but if you have any improper thoughts or try to run away..."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and he exuded a terrifying aura that made Nacil's hair stand on end, as if she had instantly fallen into an ice cave.

"I understand! I understand!"

"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side from now on. You can always come to me if you need anything!" For some reason, Nacil's eyes became alluring as she spoke.

This really surprised Vidal. He had just threatened her, hadn't he? Were all people in the world so oblivious?

"Alright, go ahead, go find some herbs in town. We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon."

After Nacil obediently left, Vidal was left alone in the room again, but his gaze seemed to pass through the wooden door.

"If this woman's medical skills are indeed excellent, then she will definitely be useful in the future. The poisons in this world are extraordinary."

Leaving aside the poison-type Devil Fruits, the Grand Line has a variety of viruses due to its unpredictable climate, chaotic magnetic field, and the unique environment of each island.

For example, in places like 'Little Garden', you can even find ancient viruses and poisonous insects, not to mention poisonous gases and venoms created using biotechnology.

His Photosynthetic Energy is very effective at healing physical damage, but it has little effect on internal diseases. So, as soon as he discovered Nacil's existence, he had already made up his mind to keep her.

But we'll have to wait and see how this decision unfolds; there's plenty of time ahead.

"By the way, why does this Sleep Ancient Town give me a strange sense of familiarity?" Vidal withdrew his gaze and stroked his chin, pondering.

Thank you, Donggutai, for the 500 reward! New friend! Thank you!

Thank you so much, Fanma Xingren, for the 300 yuan reward! You're an old friend now!

Come, let me sing you a song. "Friends are never alone, you'll understand if you have friends for life."

Here comes the first female supporting character, right? Are you all satisfied with her? She's a female traditional Chinese medicine doctor specializing in internal medicine diseases. Those who are interested can search for her; she's quite pretty, and she's been a great help to Vidal. I'm sure all the handsome Gentlemen here understand, hehehe.
