One Piece: Under the Throne

The door of the hospital was pushed open silently. Leo poked his head in first, took a closer look, and only let Gloria in after finding that there were no strange posters.

The boss was sweating profusely as he watched Leo's prank for a long time. When he saw someone coming in, he came forward and said, "Welcome to Dr. Maxim's clinic."

Leo and Afu curled their lips at the same time. How could someone claim to be a miracle doctor? All the pharmacies in Mushroom Town would not introduce themselves like this: "Doctor, please take a look at my companion. She was injured before." After saying that, they pushed Gloria in front of the doctor.

"Well, it's my honor to serve this beautiful lady."

After he finished speaking, he didn't take Gloria's pulse or use any medical equipment for testing. The "miracle doctor" just stared at Gloria's face repeatedly, which made the little girl feel cold.

"Oh my, the girl's face is red, obviously she has been poisoned. It seems that the only way to cure her is to buy the panacea in our store. The price is 100 million Baileys."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from the counter and opened it to show Leo and the others. Inside the box was a red and white mushroom.

"It's confirmed already? And this mushroom of yours... uh, panacea, it looks a bit dangerous." Ah Fu also frowned and looked at the doctor, slightly angry. Who is he trying to fool?

"Are you really a doctor? You asked us to sell such expensive medicine just because of a few nonsense words. How many people have you, a quack doctor, deceived? If you don't explain clearly, you will be in trouble today."

Ah Fu's fierce aura locked onto the doctor, making him tremble with fear.

Just then someone else entered the hospital: "Doctor, please give me a panacea for the fever."

The doctor looked away in fear and said to another patient, "It's Mr. Jack. Please wait a moment and I'll bring it to you." Then he ran into the inner room.

Mr. Jack nodded politely to Leo and Alfu.

Ah Fu pointed at the mushrooms on the counter and kindly advised: "Sir, the man just now is clearly a liar. Panacea is this kind of thing. You must not be fooled and delay the patient's treatment."

Mr. Jack smiled and replied, "Haha, you are from other places seeking medical treatment, right? The man just now is certainly not a doctor. There is not even a doctor in the whole town. Everyone here takes a panacea when they are sick. Any disease can be cured as long as it is taken."

After a while, the "miracle doctor" came out of the room with a small box. He opened it and showed it to Mr. Jack. Inside was a blue and white mushroom.

"Ten thousand Baileys."

"Okay, here you go. Thank you, doctor." After paying the money, Mr. Jack happily left the hospital with the small box.

The doctor looked at Leo and the other two again. Perhaps because he had just completed a deal in front of this group of strangers, he felt a little more confident. "I really didn't lie to you. This is indeed a panacea for detoxification. Hunters in town who are bitten by poisonous snakes while hunting will be fine after taking this. You have to believe me."

Leo said disdainfully: "A panacea worth 100 million Baileys? I remember the medicine that gentleman bought just now only cost 1 Baileys."

The doctor smiled with sweat all over his forehead and said, "The price... the price is negotiable. Mr. Jack bought medicine for treating common diseases. That kind of medicine can treat common diseases such as fever, stomachache, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, asthma, allergies, etc., and yours is a panacea for detoxification. It can cure any snake venom, insect venom, and aquatic toxins. There is also a panacea for treating external injuries. All three are called panaceas."

"Uncle, do you have any misunderstanding about panacea? If it's called a panacea, why do we have to classify it into different types?"

"It's always been like this. Is there any problem?" The doctor looked at Leo puzzled.

Leo could see that this man was not a doctor at all. He was not even qualified to be a salesperson. Too lazy to argue with him about the logic, Leo directly asked the question that concerned him the most.

"You'd better think carefully about how much different panaceas cost. If you dare to quote a random price just because we are outsiders, you will be in big trouble."

When asked about the price, the doctor sweated even more. He carefully glanced at the sword on Ah Fu's waist and said, "All... all are 1 Baileys."

Leo suddenly leaned close to the doctor and said with a scoundrel look on his face: "Oh, then why did you ask for 100 times the price just now? You are a very evil guy. How are you going to make it up to us?"

The doctor said fearfully, "What are you doing? It's illegal to attack a doctor here. What compensation do you want?"

Leo smiled kindly, "Then sell it to us at 100 times the price. I'll give you 300 Baileys. Give me one of each."

The doctor was about to cry at this point: "Don't be ridiculous, the cost of buying it from the lord is 8000 Baileys per serving, and I just added 2000 Baileys, which is very conscientious."

After hearing what the doctor said, Leo and Alfu looked at each other. What was going on? The panacea was actually created by the lord?

The doctor was afraid that they would not believe him, so he quickly added, "What I said is true. All the clinics on this street must purchase a certain amount of panacea from the lord every month. How many people are sick in a small town? The backlog of medicines belongs to us. If I don't sell it to outsiders at a higher price, I will almost die. The bosses are all capable people, so please don't make it difficult for our small shop."

What? Using real medicine to force sales? The lord's operation of being both a hypocrite and a hypocrite is really cool.

Seeing that he could not get any information from the other party, Leo paid 3 Baileys and bought one of each of the three panaceas.

After going out, Leo planned to test the authenticity of the medicine, but the three of them were not sick. Leo put his hand on the dagger and said, "It seems that I can only try the trauma medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Fu quickly cut a wound on the back of Leo's hand with a small knife.

"Hey, you're going too far. As a great swordsman, how could you do such a thing?"

Leo took a bite of the healing mushroom with a reluctant look on his face. "Hmm? The chocolate flavor is pretty good, bullshit! The wound on my hand hasn't healed at all."

Ah Fu looked at Leo seriously and said, "According to my experience, medicines for treating external injuries are usually applied externally."

Leo: “…”

"Why didn't you say so earlier..."

Leo helplessly rubbed the remaining half of the mushroom back and forth on the wound. At first, he only felt the wound was cool, but after rubbing it a few more times, the wound began to scab, and the pain quickly disappeared.

What the hell? It's actually true. It seems that the lord has a capable person. Leo looked at the back of his hand and said in surprise: "It seems that we have to go visit the lord."

"Indeed, this treatment for external injuries is worth buying even if it's not a panacea."

Gloria suddenly pointed to the window beside the street and said, "Leo, Afu, the clothes here are really beautiful, buy me a few pieces."

While they were testing the drug, Gloria became interested in the Lolita skirts in the store window and insisted on buying some clothes. They had no choice but to pamper their daughter, so the three of them went into the clothing store together.

The owner of the clothing store was an old lady who was sitting in front of a sewing machine sewing a skirt: "Welcome to Cordelia's dress shop."

As soon as Gloria came in, she ran towards the dress displayed in the window. It was an exquisite Gothic Lolita long dress. She looked left and right, wanting to touch it but afraid of dirtying this dress that was like a work of art. She was extremely excited.

The old woman smiled and said to her: "It's okay, if you like it, try it on."

After getting the consent from her master, Gloria cheered and carefully picked up the skirt and went into the fitting room.

It was the first time for Ah Fu to enter such a store. He became interested in these exquisite clothes and started to choose slowly in the store, just like an old father buying clothes for his daughter. At this time, Leo was the only one left standing at the door.

Leo smiled and nodded to the old woman, then asked, "Madam, we are from other places and come here to seek medical treatment. I heard that there is a great doctor on Mushroom Island. Do you know where he is?"

The old woman replied while sewing the skirt in her hand: "There are no miracle doctors here, they are just some salesmen."

"But the panacea they sell does work."

"The panacea is real. About three years ago, the lord gathered some people to start selling the panacea. The panacea looks like a mushroom. As more and more people used it, the efficacy of the medicine was very good. Gradually, its fame spread overseas, and the lord renamed this island Mushroom Island."

"Oh? Then what was the original name of this island?"

The old woman glanced at Leo with a half-smile: "Look at the mountain outside, can't you guess the original name of this island?"

Leo almost laughed out loud, the oddly shaped peaks outside reminded him of the boy's good penis festival.

"I see. Have you ever seen a doctor who makes a panacea? Although this medicine cannot achieve a panacea effect, it is amazing that one medicine can treat multiple diseases."

"I'm just a tailor. How could I possibly know the Lord's secrets? The Lord would definitely keep such a valuable talent very secret. After all, that talent is his cash cow."

It is true. The pharmaceutical industry is a highly profitable industry. The medicine provided by the lord is not only easy to use, but he also forces customers to buy and sell it, so the lord must have made a fortune.

The old woman pointed out the window and said, "Legend has it that there is a botanical garden on top of the high tower of the lord's castle, where a golden fairy lives. The panacea is a gift from the fairy to the island."

Leo didn't know where to start his complaints. How did it become a Dragon Quest style, with a golden fairy? In the previous life, fairies couldn't make medicine, they could only... hehehe.

However, this statement may be true. A great doctor was imprisoned in a tower by the lord and was forced to make panaceas day and night to help the lord make money.

Leo has never had a good impression of the nobles in the One Piece world, and at this time he is also maliciously plotting against the Lord of Mushroom Island.

The old woman concentrated on sewing the skirt and seemed to be talking to herself, "I really hope the golden fairy can wear the skirt I made. It will be very beautiful."

Leo's thoughts drifted towards the tower as the old woman muttered. A golden fairy! She must be very beautiful.
