Drifting to Drum Island
With a hearty laugh, Haku dragged the extremely reluctant Crocodile away from the dungeon.
Haku took a single step and instantly appeared on the deck of the Ark!
As the cage opened, the other members of Baroque Works watched in astonishment.
Haku roughly threw Crocodile into the cage!
"You little brat!" Crocodile cursed under his breath.
Because his Devil Fruit powers were restricted by Seastone, that fall was quite severe.
Haku glanced at the other man disdainfully, ignoring his gloomy expression, and said, "If you're not happy, come find me again when you've escaped Impel Down!"
"We're doomed, we're doomed, we're doomed! That's Impel Down, known as the impregnable Impel Down! Once we're in, we might never get out!" Mr. 3 said, clutching his head in anguish.
Crocodile glanced at the other man; if he could, he really wanted to kill Mr. 3!
Haku ignored their complaints, seeing them as nothing more than a group of Prisoner.
After dealing with Crocodile, all he has left to do is wait for his two Zanpakuto to return!
And this wait lasted for several days!
Meanwhile, through a series of unforeseen circumstances, the two Zanpakuto drifted at sea for several days until they finally reached Drum Island and came ashore!
"Ah! I really dislike the weather here. Muramasa, could I set a fire to change the weather?" Ryujin Jakka said to Muramasa after arriving on the island.
"Sure, but if you burn this island down, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!" Muramasa said nonchalantly.
"Tch!" Ryujin Jakka curled his lip to express his dissatisfaction!
Muramasa ignored Ryujin Jakka and started walking towards the village on Drum Island!
"Hey, hey! Wait for me!" Ryujin Jakka, who was kicking at the snow under her feet, reacted and immediately caught up.
At this moment, an uninvited guest arrived on the island.
This uninvited guest who arrived on the island was none other than Fire Fist Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Ace came to this island for a very simple reason: a few months ago, the country was destroyed in an instant by Blackbeard and his crew of five.
When Blackbeard attacked, the King's army showed no willingness to resist, and King Wapol himself was the first to flee. Because of the King's tyranny, some people thought this was actually a good thing.
At this moment, although the country is still unstable, it is being rebuilt smoothly, and the people hope to establish a brand new peaceful nation!
"Looks like Blackbeard's next destination is Alabasta, right?" Ace was wolfing down his food in a restaurant on the island!
Quite by chance, the village that Muramasa and Ryujin Jakka were heading to was the very village where Ace lived!
"Damn it, where's the doctor?! Is there no doctor left?! Is there no doctor left?!" A man desperately searched for a doctor on the street!
Because the current King Wapol is incompetent and tyrannical, he has exiled all the doctors overseas, leaving only twenty to form the "Doctor 20 Medical Group" to serve the royal family!
And in this great medical nation, they launched "Operation Hunt for Doctors." As a result, the sick citizens had no choice but to seek help and obey the King.
However, due to the attack by the five Blackbeard Pirates, Wapol has had his Doctor 20 Medical Group taken away!
Finding a doctor is now harder than climbing to heaven for the civilians on the island!
Of course, there is one doctor on the island that everyone knows about. That doctor is Dr. Kureha, known as the 'Witch'!
However, because the patient in this man's family has no doctor to treat him, his condition has become critical!
Without medical intervention, it's unlikely I'll survive tonight!
"Doctor, is there still a doctor?! Please, please come out if you hear me! My son is dying!"
After all his calls went unanswered, the man knelt down in the street and begged desperately!
This commotion drew the attention of both Ace, who was silently eating his free meal, and the two Zanpakuto that had just entered the village!
"If there's a doctor, please come out! I'm willing to pay any price to cure my son's illness!"
The man pleaded desperately, while the others in the village watched the scene unfold with complex emotions.
People in the crowd began to whisper among themselves!
"Sigh! It seems there's no doctor left in the village!"
"I don't know. Even if they did, I doubt anyone would dare to come out! I heard that group of people hasn't left the village yet!"
"Shh... don't say anymore. I saw those people hiding in the corner when I came over. If a doctor really comes out... the consequences..."
"A bunch of damned lackeys!"
Just then, a series of crisp footsteps rang out from afar!
Upon hearing this voice, the man who had just knelt on the ground had a glimmer of hope in his eyes!
"Captain, it seems you weren't wrong, that old woman really did come to this village!"
In a dark corner, a soldier in a dark green uniform spoke obsequiously to his superior officer.
The captain, clearly the leader of the group, said smugly, "Haha, so what if this 'Witch Doctor's' movements are complicated! I've still figured out her pattern."
"The captain is brilliant!" the soldier chuckled, offering a small compliment.
However, he still asked, "Captain, King Wapol has been away from the island for months. Are you sure he'll come back? What if he doesn't? Wouldn't we have captured this 'Witch Doctor' for nothing?"
The captain glanced at his men and said, "If those five Pirates hadn't left Drum Island, King Wapol might never have come back! He really might not have come back!"
"But those five have already left after attacking Drum Kingdom. I guess King Wapol will be back soon!"
"Besides, didn't His Majesty the King say that he would reward us handsomely if we could capture that 'witch' doctor?"
The soldier captain, dressed in a dark green uniform, wore a greedy expression. To them, nothing was more important than the reward Wapol had given them.
"Alright, enough talk, get ready. We'll move in as soon as that 'witch' doctor shows up!" the captain whispered.
In a dark corner, a group of soldiers held their breath, waiting for their target to appear.
