96: Chapter 96 Hiruluk's IllnessSo Wang Luffy said to Hiruluk, "Hey!You over there, you with the sharp hairstyle.Yes, you, can we have a chat?"
Hiluluk was a little confused when Luffy called him, but since Luffy was one of Chopper's kind, he got up and followed him to the side.
Then Wang Lufei said, "Uncle must be the infamous quack doctor Hiruluk, I've heard so much about you."
Hiruluk wasn't sure if Luffy's words were a compliment or a taunt, but he didn't pay much attention and replied, "Haha, young man, you have good eyesight.That's right, I am Doctor Hiruluk." (He emphasized that he wasn't a quack doctor.)
Wang Luffy introduced himself, saying, "My name is Luffy, and I come from the Navy."
Hiluluk, who had initially appeared friendly, immediately interrupted Luffy upon hearing that he was a Marine, looking at him warily and shouting at Chopper.
"Hey, Chopper, prepare for battle.Your kind might be our enemies!"
Chopper was incredulous when he heard Hiluluk's shout, but he still released Bepo and transformed into his human-beast form, looking at Bepo and the others in a battle stance.
Wang Luffy seemed to have forgotten that Hiluluk was a thief in his younger days and greatly admired pirates.It was understandable that he would be wary upon hearing that Wang Luffy was a Marine.So, Wang Luffy, imitating his master Kizaru, raised his hands in a French military salute and said:
"Don't misunderstand, we are not enemies.We all have a common goal, which is Wapol.The Navy has long heard of his violent and tyrannical nature.I came here this time to help Drum Nation quell the impending war."
Upon hearing this, and after observing the harmless appearance of their group, Hiluluk's guard had lowered considerably, but he still asked:
"You say you've come to resolve the impending war in this country, so tell me, what are your plans?"
Seeing that his tone was not as wary as before, Wang Lufei smiled and replied, "It's not about what we plan to do, but what the people want to do."
We will thoroughly investigate the people's wishes.If they want a change of king, then I will eliminate Wapol.If they still think Wapol is good, then I will educate him while he is still alive.
However, there was one thing Wang Lufei didn't mention: this so-called education was also about getting rid of him.Besides quelling the unrest, there was also Weiwei's personal grudge involved.If he didn't get rid of him, it would be a disservice to Weiwei for coming all this way with him.
After hearing Wang Luffy's words, Hiluluk thought for a moment and believed him, saying with a sigh of relief, "That's a good idea.I misunderstood you; I thought you came to capture me."
After all, I used to be a thief, and now that I've switched professions, I'm still a little afraid of the navy, hahaha.Anyway, let's not talk about that.Since we're friends, why don't you come to my house?It's right there on that cliff, hehe."
Hiluluk walked over to Chopper, patted his head, and said, "You did a good job.You don't need to be so wary anymore."
It's been confirmed, they're not enemies.They're practically my colleagues, all here to save this country, hehe.Go and get closer to your kind!
Chopper was overjoyed to hear this and replied, "Really?Hehe.You made me worry so much, you're such a bad doctor, bastard~"
Chopper then reverted to his reindeer form and ran towards Bepo.However, Bepo was somewhat puzzled, as the Mink Tribe only transforms on the night of a full moon.
Chopper's appearance clearly indicates that he is not one of their kind, but Bepo didn't say so because he knew that Chopper was very lonely.Bepo was the second person who could talk to him, and he had to help him change his lonely personality first!
Hiluluk then led Luffy and the others up the rope, but while Hiluluk was climbing, Lola pulled Luffy aside and whispered:
"This guy is sick.Don't look at me like that, I'm not saying bad things about him, but he has germs in his body.If he doesn't get treatment to transfer the virus, he probably only has another half a month to live."
However, before Wang Luffy could say anything, Chopper shouted from behind, "What!What nonsense are you talking about?How could a doctor be sick?"
He was clearly cured; he said his germs disappeared two years ago after he saw the cherry blossoms.How could he only have another two weeks to live!
Although Law's voice was soft, reindeer ears are extremely sensitive, and with the enhancement from the Human-Human Fruit, Chopper heard Law's words very clearly.
Luo replied somewhat nonchalantly, "I'm just stating a fact; there's no need to argue.If you don't believe me, you can go ask that strange old man."
Hearing Law's certainty, Chopper swallowed hard and shouted loudly at Hiluluk, who was pretending not to hear:
"Doctor, I know you can hear me.Is what he's saying true?Please tell me."
Hiluluk ignored Chopper and continued climbing until he reached the cave entrance.Turning to Chopper, he said, "It's true, so don't come back.Your injuries are almost healed, so just leave.Your continued presence is a burden to me.That's it!"
After saying this, Hiluluk didn't care about Chopper's reaction and quickly walked into the cave, closing the door behind him.However, after closing the door, he wept bitterly, muttering to himself:
"I was hoping to spend another week with you, but I didn't expect outsiders to find out.But it's fine this way, just go with them, it's the best place for you.I'm just a quack doctor who's about to die, not worth staying for."
Seeing Hiluluk like this, Chopper burst into tears, crying out, "Doctor, open the door!Open the door!This is my only home, where else can I go without you, Doctor?Please open the door, I'll find you the medicine, ahhhhhh.""
Chopper was crying his heart out.Bepo couldn't bear to see this, so he hugged him tightly and said, "Don't worry, Chopper.Law is a doctor, a very skilled doctor.He can cure any illness."
Chopper looked at Bepo with teary eyes and asked, "Really?"
Bepo nodded vigorously and replied, "It's true.I've lived with Luo for several years and I've never seen a patient he couldn't cure."
Upon hearing this, Chopper rushed to Law's side, grabbed his leg, and pleaded, "Please, save Dr.Hiluluk!He's my only family.I apologize for my rudeness earlier.Please don't blame me, please treat the doctor!I beg you."
Law saw his past self in Chopper, but he didn't say much and instead looked at Luffy.
Wang Luffy immediately understood what he meant, scratched his head, helped Chopper up, and straightened him, saying, "Don't worry, we'll help Hiluluk treat his illness."
