If it had been a minor injury, Ochoku would have been confident he could treat it.
But faced with Weevil's injuries, he felt helpless.
Weevil had no time left to wait.
There was no chance to take him to another doctor.
Ochoku could only rely on himself.
"I'll treat his external wounds first to keep him from losing too much blood."
"The pill I gave him can only stop the bleeding for now."
With that, Ochoku set to work.
Before long, he had wrapped Weevil in bandages to keep him from bleeding further.
But some of the worst wounds couldn't be bandaged.
All he could do was apply some herbal remedies he had developed.
Then Ochoku slowly set Weevil's broken bones.
Finally, he secured them in place.
He went through the entire procedure with practiced ease.
But he still couldn't treat Weevil's most serious wound.
He had no way to do it.
A gaping hole ran straight through Weevil's abdomen.
It had missed his vital organs, but a wound that horrific could still kill him!
Only Weevil's extraordinary constitution, combined with Ochoku's medicine, had kept him alive.
For now, at least.
But neither would last forever.
Even with his incredible constitution, Weevil could never recover on his own.
In their hiding place, Lindbergh clicked his tongue. "Who would've thought Ochoku was a doctor?"
"Too bad he can only handle ordinary injuries."
"After what Captain did to him, it would take a miracle worker to save him!"
Foxy gave a derisive chuckle. "He brought it on himself."
"That idiot actually dared to make Captain angry?"
"He's lucky Captain didn't kill him on the spot."
"Even if there's a miracle doctor in Pudora Kingdom, no one's coming to save him now!"
Foxy was delighted by Weevil's predicament.
He hoped Weevil would die.
