Chapter 148 Drum Island

The Great Line, Drum Island.

In the Grand Line, the weather here is extremely strange, and almost all the islands are simply divided into four types:

Four seasons island: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

And Drum Island is a typical winter island.

This is a major medical country on the Grand Route. Almost all of their food and supplies are imported, and the huge medical resources mean they are not short of currency such as Bailey.

Relying on this human resource, the Iron Bucket Kingdom on Magnetic Drum Island successfully became one of the fifty member states of the World Government and has the right to participate in the World Government Member State Conference.

Today, this East Island welcomed a special guest.

"I threw those little guys into the East China Sea and came here to hang out. I'm really good at this."

Ross walked on the busy streets of the kingdom, secretly complaining about his own little willfulness.

Several days have passed since Zefa led the team back, and Ross also brought a team of six people out from Marinford for training two days ago.

The first stop was at the edge of the East China Sea, which was the most difficult place for the navy to reach, and the supervision was naturally very weak, so he left those little guys alone in a branch of the navy to move freely, and he himself came here to try to trade the Swallow Fruit.

By the way, try to collect some medical books and take them back to Yun Island.

Although they have their own doctors on Yun Island, they are still far inferior to the doctors on Magnetic Drum Island.

Now that everything on Yun Island is on the right track, some other appropriate talents must be trained one after another.

After he finishes teaching this class of students, he plans to officially open up the occupancy conditions for the central area of ​​Yundao.

At that time, a large number of orphans will flock to the empty central area. They will be arranged by themselves to learn more knowledge and contribute to his career.

Medicine is one of them.

Well, we also need to cultivate corresponding talents in science, shipbuilding, economics, management, etc.

"Boss, can you make a copy of your medical book and sell it? The price is negotiable."

Walking into a busy-looking medical clinic, Ross came up to an old doctor after waiting in line for a long time and asked.

He smiled warmly, with a hint of respect in his tone, and a small bag appeared in his hand, filled with golden berries symbolizing "one hundred thousand berries".

"Go away, you're not here to see a doctor... Ah, you're a kind-hearted person seeking medical help. Come on, go in and sit down first. I'll be right there!"

The old doctor wanted to shout to drive Ross away when he saw that Ross was not here to see a doctor but was here to take his life.

But when he glanced at the bag of Kimberly, he shamelessly wanted to make a decision that went against his ancestors. Some things can be sold.

"Alai, come and take my place. I will go and entertain this kind patient first."

He shouted to a young man in a white coat behind him.

The young man nodded, put down what he was doing, and immediately took his master's place to solve the medical problems of the patients coming and going.

The liberated old doctor immediately walked up to Ross with a smile on his face and asked:

"I wonder what kind of medical book this gentleman wants? Does he need help with annotations or something? How much can you give?"

He asked three questions in a row, first asking about Rose's requirements, then satisfying them, and finally proposing the trade for Bailey. It was simple and clear, yet still polite as a foreplay to the deal.

It's a talent!

Ross nodded silently in his heart.

It's a pity that the old doctor has his own clinic, so it's not easy to find him. But if we can get some money for it, we can send some people here to help and learn.

Ross will also visit other clinics, and if the problem can be solved with money, he will just put two of his family members in.

Studying medicine is a demanding business, and it is best to have an experienced doctor to guide you.

It’s not that he didn’t consider looking for the immortal witch from Magnetic Drum Island. After all, her medical skills were the best.

But not necessary.

Whether it is the Healing Fruit or the Surgery Fruit, they can solve almost all advanced diseases and difficult and complicated illnesses, and this is the only value of Kuhare, the immortal witch.

So there is no need to look for her or ask her to come out specifically for this kind of thing.

When the first group of doctors returned, he would probably have already obtained the Healing Fruit, and after that the Surgery Fruit.

The healing fruit is simple. All you need to do is go to Dressrosa. At this point in time, it should not have been eaten by the princess of the dwarf tribe... right?

"Old sir, please believe in my sincerity. You can name the price. Bailey is not a problem for me. I want all the medical knowledge you have. Please make a note of the complicated knowledge."

Ross said calmly, pouring out the Baileys in his bag and scattering them on the small round table in front of him. There were dozens of them. He said:

"These are just the deposits I give. You can make any offer you want. As long as it is reasonable, it will appear before your eyes on the day when we make the transaction."

"This... this is a huge project. It will take me at least a month to complete it, sir. What do you think?" The old doctor was a little embarrassed. He was indeed attracted by Ross's generosity, but he had collected a lot of medical knowledge.

Basic knowledge only accounts for about 30%, advanced knowledge accounts for 40%, and the remaining 10% are their family's exclusive policies.

Only a woman named Kuhale had climbed over it a few years ago. He didn't know whether she had learned it or not. After all, the price she paid was quite high. He felt sorry for her when he saw it.

"It's okay. I have plenty of time. I'll trouble you, old man. This is my Den Den Mushi number. After you've counted the Baileys and annotated the medical books, you can call me. I'll send someone to deliver the Baileys and make rubbings of the books."

Ross generously said that there was no problem, and then asked:

"I wonder if you can recommend some old friends to me. I am not short of money and I am very interested in their exclusive knowledge."

It’s a pity that O’Hara’s books are not included in all books. This so-called place of omniscience only focuses on certain aspects of knowledge.

Otherwise, Ross could just go get it for free.

The medical-related books there only have basic and some advanced ones, but for some special medical books on Magnetic Drum Island, he doesn't mind being a sucker and giving them Baileys.

It's a small necessary sacrifice.

The rewards will be rich.

"Ah? Isn't this enough? You are so kind. No problem, leave it to me. The doctors on our island are basically connected with each other, except for those folk remedy clinics.

Please leave me a name or code name, and I will tell my good friends about it. The price may not be cheap, and it should be more than double its original value. "

The old doctor kindly reminded me.

After all, this is what they eat, it can be sold, but it will never be cheap.

Moreover, if you want to understand it, you need their annotations, so it is useless even if you rob it openly.

This is also the reason why their Drum Island is rarely visited and robbed by pirates.

To offend them is equivalent to offending the vast majority of doctors. If you encounter any difficult and complicated diseases, you can just wait to die, there is no cure.

No one dares to be sure that he will never get sick or develop certain difficult and complicated diseases in his life, especially those pirates who have no fixed place to live. They are either fools or will offend doctors.

This is true for many professions on the sea, such as navigator, chef, etc. Basically, they are people you cannot offend, otherwise you will die without knowing how.

"That's troublesome. Money is never a problem. You can call me Ross."

"Nasdacross?"

The old doctor asked tentatively.

The only person in the ocean who could have such a fortune as Ross was probably the head of the Nasdaq family.

"Yes, I didn't expect that I was so famous. I remember that Morgans rarely reported on me recently. Most of the time, they only reported on my children and interesting things on the sea."

Ross admitted it generously. It was nothing to say. After all, he didn't have a bad reputation. In the eyes of the public, he was a strong, good and kind man.

The old doctor looked a little excited when he heard this.

There are few doctors who are not kind, especially in this ocean, where many evils can highlight them.

This is especially true for old doctors. Sometimes when they encounter patients in need, they will quietly cross out a few expenses on the medical bills so that they can bear the burden.

After all, he can only help in emergencies and not in poverty. He also has to consider himself and his descendants, and he must not break the rules of the doctor community.

It’s impossible to be free, but it can cross off a few strokes, and that’s enough.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, Mr. Ross. Please don't leave in a hurry. I have to entertain you well. I admire your deeds very much. Can you sit down and chat with me?"

"Then sit down and chat. I have plenty of time."

Ross smiled and agreed.

On the other side, the old doctor was in a good mood. He decided to give Ross a discount on this deal, which would be considered as the volunteer fund he donated to the orphanages opened by Ross.

He is also a kind person, but his ability is limited, so he can only help a little to fill his heart.

The old doctor brought Ross into the clinic, asked people to prepare tea and set up a banquet, and the two began to chat with each other.

Talk about the past, talk about interesting things, talk about the present, talk about career, talk about the future, talk about worries.

Time passed little by little, until two or three hours later, Ross left quietly at the old doctor's request.

In the following time, he visited all the clinics on Magnetic Drum Island and traded with their owners.

With the help of the old doctor, the transaction process went extremely smoothly. Basically, we got consent very quickly. As long as the preparations were completed, we could exchange the money and the goods.

Visiting the clinic was quite time-consuming. After two days, Ross finally had the chance to set his sights on Fort Irontower in the distance.

That is the castle of the Tietong Kingdom, uniquely located outside the city, like a lonely Snow King.
