One Piece: I Want to Sign

After the boat had sailed out for a while, An stopped crying. He accidentally bumped into Ruth who hadn't woken up yet, and unexpectedly found that Ruth's whole body was very cold, but her forehead was burning like a fire. But An was very anxious, but she did not have the exquisite medical skills of Little Orange. It was just a common cold and fever, and she didn’t know what to do without the advanced medicine in her previous life. Just when An was anxious, she heard a burst of sound coming from the cabin where the fruit was packed. Voice from outside:

"Hey, the captain's wife is suffering from a terminal illness, and now she's about to give birth, but we still haven't found a suitable treatment. What should we do?"

"That's right. None of the doctors invited could cure the captain's wife. Even Dr. Drasher, the most senior doctor, couldn't do anything. They said there were only doctors from the 'White Town' Frevansli." This disease can be cured, but we are on the Grand Route now, how can we go to the North Sea?"

"But our captain and someone who has a good relationship with him can adjust it. It's not impossible to directly cross the windless zone. We still have to see what the captain thinks."

An heard them discussing about the doctor, and regardless of the situation, he rushed out of the fruit warehouse and ran outside to stop the two of them. Before they could finish being surprised, An said:

"My friend is sick, please save her, please! I'm willing to bear any price!"

After saying that, he was about to kneel down, but he was still observing the actions of the two people from the corner of his eyes, his eyes full of distrust.

Two people in sailor uniforms quickly helped her up and said: "It's okay to save people, but it must be approved by our captain. You can take your friend to the captain to have a look."

Ann quickly thanked her, returned to the fruit barn, and helped Ruth up. Seeing that Ruth was really seriously ill, they took the initiative to carry her on their backs and led Ann towards the captain's cabin. This move also gained Ann a little bit. The good impression in his eyes became much less vigilant, but it did not disappear, but became deeper and deeper.

The captain's cabin is a bit dark, probably because the lamp on the roof has not changed its wick for a long time. There are various telescopes of different lengths and sizes inside. There are several bounty lists for big pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions posted on the display board next to it. On the table in the middle of the room, there is a large nautical chart, with a circle drawn in red pen on an area of ​​the North Sea.

Captain Daniel is resting in the captain's cabin. He has a thick beard and a small scar on his right eye. He is concentrating on reading the map with a red pen. Sometimes he draws here and sometimes there. See When the two crew members came in with two strange little girls, they frowned slightly, then smiled a little and deliberately joked in a rich voice:

"This is your daughter. Hey, she looks really exquisite."

Although there was a smile in the eyes, the sadness in the corner of one eye lingered, and An vaguely guessed that it was related to the illness of the captain's wife that the two sailors just mentioned.

"Captain, don't be ridiculous. These are the two children found in the fruit warehouse on the ship. The little girl is sick..." The sailor pointed at Ruth. Before he could finish speaking, the captain interrupted:

"So you are here to get my permission, right? I understand. Anyway, we have no shortage of doctors on the ship. I have approved this matter!"

After saying that, he waved his big hand and slapped it hard on the table. The exaggerated action was a bit funny.

An was very grateful, but then thought about it and said: "Mr. Captain, first of all, thank you very much for your help to me and my friends. I really have nothing to repay, but since I don't have any money on me now, I can't repay this." For medical expenses, I beg you, can you allow me and my friends to work on the ship?"

An's face turned red because he felt that he was pushing too far, but the captain didn't mind. He smiled cheerfully and said, "My child, I really appreciate your sincere friendship with your friend. Just stay and clean for everyone." Clean the house.”

An quickly thanked her, her eyes less wary, revealed her name, and sent Ruth to the ship's infirmary for treatment.

The infirmary is very bright. The entire room is built in the main color of blue and white. There is a hint of warmth in the brightness. It is not much different from the infirmary in an ordinary hospital. The only thing that makes An pay attention is the four walls. The "riddled with holes"-like wall that had been punctured countless times seemed familiar to her. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't that the soundproof wall in the piano rooms specially used for piano practice in her previous life?

There were beds arranged neatly in the infirmary. On the bed by the window lay a pale-faced woman. Although she had been tortured beyond recognition by the disease, she could vaguely see her former appearance. Her belly was still bulging. The first time he saw her, he identified her with the "captain's wife" as the two sailors called her.

The captain's wife sat up, as if she wanted to see who was coming, but her stomach was touched. Ann seemed to see a naughty little being kicking its mother's abdomen, but it caused the captain's wife's strange disease. She exhaled with a hiss and gasped for air.

The captain hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted her softly: "Relax, Catherine, they are just some children who escaped on the ship. Let us help them. Have a good rest and I will cure your illness." of."

The captain's wife exhaled and lay down again, resting with her belly upward.

Ruth was taken to the first bed at the entrance. An "uncle-shaped" doctor with messy hair and glasses came over. He skillfully diagnosed Ruth with a stethoscope and asked a few questions about Ruth from time to time. The cause of his illness can be said to be that he is a veteran in the doctor's profession, but even so, his clothes and expression reflect the restlessness in his heart at the moment: his hair is messy, some of it has been rolled out, and his face is covered with His face was covered with thick dust, probably because he hadn’t taken a shower for a while; his glasses hung crookedly on his tall, aquiline nose, dangling all the time; his lips were chapped, and his hands were a little peeled; the buttons on his white coat were untied. Coincidentally, one of the socks in his shoes was worn backwards, and even the leather boots on his feet were of two different styles... An guessed that his impatience was related to the illness of the captain's wife.

Sure enough, after the doctor prescribed medicine to Ruth, he started talking about the captain's wife: "I'm sorry, Daniel, I...Catherine..." The doctor's words were hesitant, and his eyes glanced towards the captain's wife Catherine from time to time. , seemed to be considering whether he should tell the captain's wife about her condition in front of the captain's wife, but seeing as he could call the captain and the captain's wife by their first names, he must be relatively familiar friends.

"It's okay, Asher. You have tried your best. Leave the rest to me."

He cared for the uncle doctor, who was called "Asher" in his words, with a slightly comforting look, and then walked out of the door of the medical room, waved his hand, and spoke to the surroundings with a loud voice that had a certain weight. :

"Attention everyone! Starting today, the Anuket will sail to the Navy branch G5 with all its strength!"
