Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 126 This child is teachable!

On the other side, in the castle atop Drum Mountain.

This is the King's Castle of the Drum Kingdom.

Inside the castle, a fat man with purple hair and eyebrows, iron jaws, wearing thick winter clothes, iron armor on his arms, and a white animal pelt sat on the throne.

He shouted to a man below:

"Jace! How's the 'Exterminate' operation going?"

Upon hearing this, the man below, referred to as Jess, immediately responded:

"Your Majesty, almost all the doctors have been expelled from the country; only Hiruluk and Kureha remain!"

"Hmm! Not bad!!"

Walpo nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face, and then spoke again:

"That old hag Kureha has lived this long, let her stay in the country!"

That's what he said, but actually it was because he wasn't confident he could subdue that old woman Kureha, and her medical skills were far superior to those of the remaining doctor 20.

Doctor 20 can treat the vast majority of illnesses, but if there are truly difficult and complex cases that even Doctor 20 is not confident in treating, then you should seek help from Kureha.

Leaving Kureha on the island also provides him with a sense of security.

As for Hiruluk?

Who cares about that lousy doctor?

His medical skills aren't even good enough to be a veterinarian, are they?

He dares to treat patients, but would anyone else dare to treat him?!

but……

Upon thinking of Hiruluk, Wapol's eyes narrowed suddenly, a cold glint flashing within them.

He didn't care about poor medical skills.

But he heard that guy was trying to use some kind of "cherry blossom miracle" to heal the hearts of the people frozen by tyranny?

tyranny?!!

How could Tawawa's rule be tyranny?!

He used violence to rule the people mainly to protect them!

These unruly people don't understand his good intentions at all.

Hiruluk is planning to overthrow his rule!

Thinking of this, the cold light in Wapol's eyes grew even more intense.

We need to find a way to kill that guy Hiruluk.

For ordinary doctors, the term "extermination" was used, but in reality, it was just expulsion.

But for Hiruluk, who wanted to overthrow his rule, he could only send him to hell!

-

Meanwhile, on the other side of Drum Island.

Kyle, the two humans, and the raccoon dog were currently in a village.

But Kyle's brow furrowed slightly.

There are no doctors!!

They searched the entire village but couldn't find a trace of the doctor.

After inquiring, it was learned that this was because Walpole had expelled all the doctors from the country, leaving only 20 doctors to serve him.

In this way, when people were sick, they could only turn to him for help, and for the same reason, they dared not rebel against his rule.

Because he has the lifeline of the nation in his hands.

Who can guarantee they'll never get sick? Or that they'll never have to ask him for help?

"asshole!!"

"Does Walpo deserve to be king after treating his people like this?!"

……

Sabo continued to hurl insults at the person standing to the side.

Sabo, being of a young age, naturally felt extremely indignant at such injustice.

Kyle's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

Although he knew that besides Doctor 20, there were two other doctors on the island, Hiruluk and Kureha.

If he wanted to, he could easily find their trail and have them treat Chopper.

But he didn't want to do that.

He wants Wapol's doctor to heal Chopper!

Logically speaking, the Drum Kingdom is a major medical power and one of the member states of the World Government.

As a naval officer, it's inconvenient for him to interfere in other people's internal affairs.

But emotionally, he couldn't stand Wahlbo's behavior.

A tyrannical rule that abandons its people when faced with vicious pirates is absolutely not the behavior of a king!

But as I said before, from the Navy's perspective, there's nothing he can do about Wapol.

What if it's not the navy?

He has more than just one identity as a naval officer.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Kyle turned to look at Chopper and said:

"Chopper, turn into your big, bulky form!"

Kyle had already chosen a name for Chopper during the journey.

The name should be the same as in the original work. After all, it has been called that for so many years, and it would be hard to get used to changing it suddenly.

"Huh? Oh!"

Chopper was stunned for a moment before he reacted, then used his ability to transform back into the big guy he had been when the two first met.

"Hmm! Not bad!"

Kyle nodded.

He took out two black robes and gave one to Chopper and one to Sabo.

At the same time, he took out a piece of clothing and put it on.

"Come on! I'll take you two to do something fun!"

"But remember, we're not in the Navy anymore. Our identity is..."

"Um……"

Kyle was silent for a moment, then asked the man and the gorilla:

"What do you think our identity should be?"

Sabo glanced at the black robe in his hand, then at Kyle, and said:

"You mean...we should change our identities and cause trouble for Wapol?"

Kyle glanced at him.

"This child is teachable!"

Almost instantly, Sabo understood Kyle's intention in doing so.

Given their status as naval personnel, it was indeed inappropriate for them to do anything to Wapol.

Wapol is the king of a member state of the World Government. How he governs his country is his business. The Navy has no reason or position to criticize Wapol, let alone take action against him.

Otherwise, the world government certainly wouldn't let it go.

To avoid trouble, hiding your identity is the best option!

Chopper, standing to the side, looked at Sabo, then at Kyle, with a bewildered expression.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean?!"

"That's how it is..."

Sabo began to explain to Chopper, but after a long while...

"What does that mean?! I don't quite understand!"

Chopper asked Sabo another probing question, looking at him with an inquisitive expression, but Sabo didn't say anything this time, his lips twitching.

God knows how many times he explained it to Chopper, but every time Chopper finished listening, he would say, "I don't understand!"

He's tired. Let him perish!

Kyle, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head at the sight.

Chopper has never been in contact with human society before, so it's normal that he doesn't understand many things. He'll gradually learn in the future.

Feeling Sabo's pleading gaze, Kyle spoke up:

"It's okay! It doesn't matter if you don't understand!"

"Chopper, remember one thing: until I tell you to switch back to your original form, stay in this form!"

"When we take you to get treatment, don't say a word. Just leave it to us!"

Too much talk leads to mistakes; as long as Chopper doesn't speak, it's hard for him to be exposed.

As for whether the doctors will recognize Chopper when they treat him...

Huh~

He took a gorilla to treat it, and a tanuki to take back to Marine Headquarters.

What does it have to do with him?!
