Symptoms!

At the foot of the mountain, Usopp, along with the villagers, dug through the snow in search of Dalton, who had been buried by the avalanche!

Meanwhile, Zoro, who was guarding the Pirates ship, also ended up in Usopp's village by a twist of fate!

"Mr. Dalton!"

"Mr. Dalton!"

People in the crowd kept calling out Dalton's name.

"Found him! Mr. Dalton has been found!" Finally, thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone else, Dalton, who had been buried in the snow, was found!

"What?! They found it?!" Usopp heard the noise and ran towards the crowd!

Only Zoro, unaware of the situation, asked in confusion, "So who exactly is that guy?"

When Dalton's body was finally dug out, it was discovered that Dalton had been completely frozen solid!

Even his heart had stopped beating at this moment!

Just when everyone was grieving, a shadow fell over the earth!

Everyone looked up and saw a floating spaceship hovering above them, slowly descending to the side!

A mature female voice came from the ship. "The injured man is not dead! Long-nosed and Moss Head, you two bring the injured man aboard now! Your captain is waiting for you on Drum Castle."

Zoro and Usopp were both startled when they heard the voice. They exchanged a glance and then looked up at the spaceship in the sky.

Usopp scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "Long nose? Moss Head? Moss Head? Is that calling us?"

Zoro frowned; he didn't like being called by such a strange nickname. He looked up at the spaceship and asked coldly, "Who are you? Are you calling us?"

"Hey Zoro! We're not even sure if she's looking for the two of us yet! Why are you replying to her so quickly?" Usopp said nervously, looking at the Ark above.

Zoro said indifferently, "Whether it is or not, let's go up and check the situation first. Besides, they said their captain is waiting for us, so I think they're talking about Luffy!"

"Hey, Zoro!" Usopp shook his head and then tried to follow.

At this moment, a villager stopped Usopp, saying, "Sir, it seems that Mr. Dalton on the ship is still alive. Could you please bring Mr. Dalton onto that ship?"

On the mountaintop, in the Drum Castle!

Haku and Kureha were leisurely sitting in their chairs, sipping their hot coffee!

"Please, old lady! Just promise me you'll let Chopper be my crewmate!" Luffy slammed his hand on the table in front of him and said to Kureha.

"Luffy, that's your name, right?" Kureha pointed at Luffy and said in an unfriendly tone.

"Yes!" Luffy replied.

Kureha continued, "Did you just call me an old woman?"

"Ah, she did call me 'Grandma'!" Luffy said, dumbfounded.

Haku rubbed her forehead, looking utterly exasperated!

"Go to hell! Watch your mouth!"

Sure enough, before Luffy could react, Kureha swiftly Luffy him against the wall!

Kureha, sitting up straight again, said with displeasure, "I'm still a vibrant 130-something-year-old! Your way of addressing me is a bit impolite!"

"What a formidable old woman!" Sanji exclaimed, looking at Luffy who was still clinging to the wall.

"Sure enough, like captain, like crew!" Haku said speechlessly.

Sanji was also kicked by Kureha and sent flying, slamming into the wall!

After Luffy and Sanji's commotion, Nami, whose high fever had subsided, was woken up by the loud noise!

"My gold!" Nami sat bolt upright!

Nami!

"Nami!" Luffy and Sanji excitedly ran to Nami's bedside.

"Luffy, Sanji!" Nami was clearly excited to see the two, but after scanning the room, she asked, "Where is this?"

Then, Luffy and Sanji started talking at once about what had happened here.

After Luffy and Sanji finished explaining what had happened, Kureha stood up with a bottle of liquor and walked up to Nami.

She pointed to Nami's forehead with her finger and said, "It seems your fever has gone down a bit, little girl!"

"You are!" Nami looked at Kureha with a puzzled expression.

"Thirty-eight degrees? That looks alright!"

"My name is Dr. Kureha! I'm a doctor. Little girl, you should lie in bed and rest for a while! You know, the Virus you have isn't so easy to treat!" Kureha said to Nami.

"Wait! Old woman, are you talking about Virus? Nami doesn't just have a fever, does she?" Sanji asked at this moment.

"Can't you be a little more polite, you bastard!" Kureha kicked Sanji again!

After retracting her foot, Kureha lifted a corner of Nami's clothes and said, "This is what caused your fever!"

"What is this?" Luffy asked curiously, looking at the purple patches on Nami's stomach.

Kureha explained, "This bite mark was left by a bug called Caschia. This bug likes to live in hot, humid, dense Dense Forest, and it's a poisonous insect!"

"If you get bitten by this insect, the bacteria will enter your body through the wound! They will then lie dormant, and when they break out, they can cause a high fever of over 40 degrees Celsius, severe infection, myocarditis, arteritis, and encephalitis! Judging from your wound, you've probably been infected for three days!"

"It's so serious, will Nami be alright?" Sanji asked anxiously after hearing about Kureha's symptoms.

Kureha glared at Sanji, then continued, "If you had come two days later, this little girl would have really died! After all, this illness caused by Caschia is also known as 'Five-Day Sickness,' and very few people can survive five days!"

"Fortunately, you brought this girl over!"

Luffy and Sanji's expressions changed drastically upon hearing Kureha's words.

Haku then chimed in with a laugh, "Don't worry, Dr. Kureha knows so much about this illness, she's probably confident she can completely cure Nami. Am I right?"

"You know me pretty well, huh! You want to know the secret to Eternal Youth, don't you?" Kureha said with a smile.

Haku laughed and said, "Doctor, you've gone off-topic!"

Nami finally noticed that Haku was also in the room, but it wasn't until she saw Haku's face clearly that she realized what was going on.

Nami's face was already showing a look of terror!

"Y-you-you!" Nami stammered, looking at the person sitting in the chair drinking coffee.
