One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 118 Salvation?

"If there are other patients, you can bring them here and I will treat you."

Following the man back to his home, Luo quickly treated his child. After seeing that his condition had improved and stabilized, Luo turned and spoke to the others who had followed.

"Thank you so much!"

"My mother has not been feeling well lately."

"My husband fell and got hurt while climbing the mountain some time ago."

"I've had a cough for half a year and it hasn't gotten better!"

"···"

Looking at Luo surrounded by the crowd, a smile appeared on Rhodes' face.

Although he was surrounded by circles of patients, Rhodes could clearly feel the happiness in his heart.

He was happy that he could help others.

Luo, who was once trapped in darkness and only thought about revenge, finally came out of the darkness.

"let's go."

Rod turned around.

"Eh? Where to go?"

Gray hurriedly caught up and asked Rhodes.

"Of course, save the country like a hero!"

"Don't tell me jokes seriously. You are not that kind of person."

Gray didn't believe what Rhodes said at all.

This guy has never had any desire to save people. Everything he does is just to satisfy his own ideas.

"I'm doing this for you, Gray!"

"for me?"

This is possible, but Gray couldn't think of any connection between himself and this country.

"The king of this country is a devil fruit user."

"A parahuman, a user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit! He can eat anything and turn it into a part of his body, or synthesize what he eats!"

"Swallow Swallow Fruit! Synthesis!?"

A light suddenly shone in Gray's eyes.

This is the fruit he has always dreamed of!

Many of his designs were full of wild imagination, but all of them could not be realized due to limited materials.

When he was making various designs in the past, he had thought about it more than once: if there was a devil fruit that could allow him to freely synthesize various new materials, would he be able to realize all of his designs?
Now, such an opportunity has come!
"This so-called king actually disregarded the lives of his people and expelled all the doctors from the country. This is truly a heinous crime!"

Gray's face straightened up, justice written all over his face.

"Let us save this country like a hero defeating a demon king!"

"You've become evil, Gray!"

"It's all thanks to the captain's teaching!"

···
"This is it, the palace!"

Rhodes looked at the palace in front of him.

In this world, it seems that the palaces of many countries are built at very high places.

The same is true of the Drum Kingdom.

The king's palace was built on top of the highest mountain on the island.

"so cold!"

Beside Rod, Gray was shivering.

This was already a cold winter island, and now they were standing on the highest peak of the island. In the biting cold wind, Gray could hardly breathe smoothly.

"who!"

The guards at the palace gate looked at the three people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a vigilant look on their faces.

"You came here by accident, right? Please leave quickly. No one is allowed to approach the palace gate casually."

A square-faced burly man stopped the rest of the guards, walked up to Rhodes and the others, looked at the three of them and spoke softly.

"Captain Dalton!"

The other guards behind him wanted to say something, but Dalton stopped them. Since King Wapol came to power, he has enacted many strict laws, especially for the palace. As long as civilians appear at the gate of the palace, they have committed a serious crime and will be severely punished by the king.

However, Dalton has been resisting Wapol's brutal rule, especially for people like this who accidentally approached the palace. He would let them leave on their own instead of arresting them directly like Cro-Malimon or Jace did.

"Not."

Rhodes shook his head and looked at the upright man in front of him.

"We are pirates who are here to kill the king!"

"Pirates!?"

Dalton looked at the three people in front of him in surprise.

They actually said they wanted to kill the king so openly, these guys are really pirates!

"Pay attention, it's the enemy!"

Dalton's face changed, and he drew out the broadsword on his back, while shouting for others to get ready.

"What foolish loyalty! It would be better if such a king were killed."

Rhodes looked at Dalton in front of him.

"Stop talking! Even though the king did many things wrong, it's not your turn as a pirate to comment on it!"

"It's all in vain."

Looking at the guards led by Dalton, who were in formation, Rhodes shook his head.

The gap in strength cannot be eliminated by just numbers.

bang bang bang-

Dalton only saw one of the three people raise his hand, and a black shadow flashed by. The next moment, accompanied by a burst of gunfire, all the members of the guard team fell down.

"So fast!"

Half-kneeling on the ground, Dalton covered his chest with shock in his eyes.

"You're a pretty good guy."

Rhodes looked at Dalton who was seriously injured and unable to get up again.

"Don't worry. Although they are pirates, we generally won't kill them. Your subordinates should be fine. - Of course, the premise is that they can get timely medical treatment."

"Then the question is, will your king arrange for his team of personal doctors to treat you?"

Dalton looked ashen.

He knew very well that given Wapol's character, he would never help those soldiers.

The soldiers who were not killed because of the enemy's mercy would die because the king refused to rescue them.

So sad!

"what happened?"

A voice suddenly sounded, followed by a fat man wrapped in winter clothes who walked out.

It is worth noting that his chin is a cylindrical shape made of iron sheets. Not only that, under his winter clothes, he is also wrapped in a layer of iron armor.

"Dalton, what are you doing? You've got people running to the palace gate to cause trouble!"

After taking a look at the situation at the palace gate, the man started to scold Dalton.

"I'm sorry, King Wapol."

Dalton covered his wound with one hand, knelt down in front of Wapol and kowtowed deeply.

"But the soldiers have been seriously injured. If they can't get timely treatment, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on!"

"So, they failed to do their job well and lost to the enemy, and they still want me to arrange for Doctor 20 to treat them?"

Wapol looked at Dalton who was kneeling before him.

"Absolutely impossible! But I can avenge them."

Wapol looked at Rhodes and the other three.

"It's you three untouchables—"

Dalton reminded:

"They are pirates!"
