How Do You Treat It? / It's Good to Be Alive

Many people were lying on the ground.

The old men leaned against the wall, smoking and chatting as if they weren't in a desperate place beneath Winter Island, but rather sitting under the eaves basking in the sun.

They looked at Bada, their eyes gleaming with hope.

Their king... has returned.

They believed in Bada, and that he would surely lead them back to the prosperity of the Bass Kingdom.

They dreamed and looked forward to it.

In the middle, on the ground, the children, touching their round bellies, slept soundly with smiles on their faces.

Judging from the tear stains in their eyes, these little ones, even if they've eaten their fill, probably aren't having such wonderful dreams!

After all, they've lost all their loved ones!

Hopefully, when these little ones Awakening, the Bass Kingdom will have returned to normal!

Even if it's a pipe dream, it's still hope!

Meanwhile, Bass's younger brothers carefully carried the children one by one towards the rooms surrounding the space.

Clearly, even though everyone was happy and had drunk a lot, they didn't forget to carry the little ones to bed and cover them with blankets.

They're all such a kind bunch!

How to treat it in Chapter 20?

After a satisfying meal and drinks.

Kuta looked at Bada and stood up.

His body swayed slightly, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his Observation Haki swept across the entire Winter Island before turning towards the Freedom.

No, they're drinking here. If the Freedom gets damaged by Pirates, that would be terrible.

Fortunately, apart from a few small flies, I didn't sense any other smells.

"Huh!"

Just as he was about to withdraw his Observation Haki, a dark aura, distinct from the arrogant aura of Pirates, suddenly entered his Observation Haki.

This aura is different from everyone else on the island, so it can't be Pirates or Bounty Hunter.

Then there's only one possibility.

"World Government Cipher Pol."

Kuta, but still decided not to pay any attention to this guy. Since he was from the World Government, he would naturally meet him tomorrow.

His face was slightly flushed as he looked at Bada. "Hey! Are you drunk? If not, let's find a room and get the Bullet out of your heart."

Bada was confused for a moment, then quickly stood up, shaking his head repeatedly until he was clear-headed. Then, with a flushed face, he looked at Kuta and excitedly spoke.

"No, no, I'm not drunk."

When he heard that Kuta was going to help him remove the Bullet, how could he possibly resist!

My slightly drunken mind was instantly cleared by my excited emotions.

Lia, who was sitting next to Bada, quickly stood up, reached out, and supported Bada to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"Father."

"I'm fine."

Bada waved his hand and reached out to rub Lia's head.

At this moment, Lia had put on her princess dress again. The pure white princess gown made Lia exude a noble, elegant, and gentle aura.

With that outfit, her pretty face, and her slender figure, it's no wonder the Celestial Dragons wanted to take her into their homes the moment they saw her.

Let's go!

"Don't let its simple appearance fool you, there is Infirmary here!"

Bada, holding Lia's hand, led the way towards a door inside that was painted with a red cross.

"Let's go! Let's go together."

Kuta followed with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

Kuina quickly followed and stood to Kuta's right.

Behind Kuina, Ahua Trio shook their heads, stood up unsteadily, grabbed the weapons leaning against the table, slung them over their waists, and followed.

Finally, it was Indigo.

Indigo chuckled, slowly finished the wine in his glass, and then stood up.

Following behind, amidst a series of "pfft! pfft!" sounds resembling farts.

He looked at Kuta, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Although I know that Kuta's ability is amazing, it's not to the point that he can heal people!

Even he was powerless to help Bada, just like the Golden Lion's ship's Ship's Rudder —moving it would be fatal.

Bada's wounds penetrated deep into his heart, making them even more severe than those of the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion's Ship's Rudder can still be kept alive for a while.

Bombs are different; they explode instantly if you touch them, making them extremely deadly.

Therefore, he was extremely curious about Kuta's method of removing Bullet.

Standing at the door of the Infirmary, Bada paused for a moment, then pushed the door open without hesitation.

Although he didn't know how Kuta managed to remove the Bullet, he could sense that Kuta wasn't lying; he was just acting nonchalantly.

The Bullet in his chest was like a minor surgery to him.

The Infirmary is small, only a few dozen square meters.

There was only one operating table and a few tables; even the medicine was scarce.

The only medicine I could find was some common anti-inflammatory and cold medicine, which I could only find on one of the tables.

I imagine that Bada went to great lengths to obtain these from the Pirates!

Some medicine bottles even had dried, dark red bloodstains visible on them.

They saw Bada enter.

Behind the innermost table, an old man dressed in a white doctor's coat quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

"Do you need some hangover medicine?"

The old man had clearly misunderstood; he quickly walked around the table and went to another one.

"Wait a minute! I'll find it for you right away."

"Liber, it's alright, you don't need to search."

Bada quickly stepped forward and pulled the old man back.

The old man looked at Bada with a puzzled expression. "You didn't come here for hangover cures, could it be...?"

As he spoke, he trembled all over, staring at Bada in terror.

"No, no, it can't be that your gunshot wound is about to flare up!"

After saying that, he gripped Bada's arm tightly, utterly terrified.

It turns out that this old man was the doctor who helped Bada stop his wounds three years ago, and he was also the Royal Physician of the former Bass Kingdom.

The first person Bass found after being injured was this doctor.

"What gunshot wound?"

Upon hearing this, Lia quickly stepped forward.

Yibu stared intently at Bada, his face full of tension.

She had no idea that Bada was injured!

When Bada returned with her, he hid her here immediately. Later, she lost her memory of Bada and didn't know why she was here.

As more and more people arrived, she gradually stopped caring about these things.

"It's nothing, just an old wound."

Bada looked at Lia and Liber, a smirk playing on his lips, and said with a smile, "Besides, it'll be over soon, no need to worry."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Kuta and the others who had walked in, waiting for his instructions.

Ignoring the curious glances from Lia and Liber, Kuta walked past them to the operating table.

It was simple, just a bed and a lamp hanging on it.

It's not even as good as the operating table in the Infirmary of their ship, Freedom.

He turned around and looked at Bada.

"Come here!"

"Oh!"

Bada quickly broke free from Lia and Liber's hands and walked over.

"Take off your shirt and lie down."

Bada did as instructed, slowly taking off his shirt.

It was only then that we noticed the man's back was covered in wounds.

Judging from the marks on these scars, they were probably left three years ago.

The largest wound was as big as a fist.

It's obviously from a fist; looks like there's a really skilled hand-to-hand combat expert in CP0!

Ignoring the strange looks around him, Bada quickly climbed onto the bed, lay down, and looked at Kuta with anticipation.

Lia and Liber quickly surrounded him, staring at Kuta with tense expressions.

Especially Liber.

He was the only one here who knew exactly what Bada's injury was.

If asked whether there was any power in this world that could save Bada, he believed there certainly was, but he knew for sure that there wasn't.

But since Bada believed in this Silver Hair brat, he had no choice but to believe in Kuta, believing that he was the person he didn't know could save Bada.

Kuta glanced at Lia and smiled gently.

"Don't be nervous. To me, your father's injury is just a minor one, nothing serious."

"You can step back a bit, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

"Oh..."

Looking at Kuta's gentle face, Lia suddenly felt relieved for some reason. Her face flushed, and she quickly took a few steps back to stand next to Kuina.

But Liber did not back down; he wanted to see with his own eyes how Kuta treated Bada.

Chapter 21 It's so good to be alive

Kuta glanced at Liber but said nothing.

The Space Domain was activated instantly.

He looked at Bada and said, "If you feel any discomfort, don't resist. Just relax and leave it to me."

After saying that, he pushed his domain to its limit.

An invisible space appeared around Kuta's body, completely enveloping Bada and Liber's bodies.

From the outside, Kuta's surroundings appear to be another space, where everything is still.
