One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 655: Banchina's Disease

The Red Hair Pirates looked at the old man in front of them in surprise. This thin old man was actually the dean? This was really hard to imagine.

"Wait! You! You! You are Doctor Quata, the 'Ghost Chaser'!"

Hongo suddenly realized who was in front of him. It was the Grim Reaper - Guata, the medical prodigy that his teacher Kro Cass had once told him was better than even he could compare to, the top surgeon who was known for being able to save a patient even if he only had one breath left. He didn't expect that he was here.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know me. But don't call me the Underworld Soul Chaser. That middle school nickname hasn't been used for decades. It's awkward to say it."

Doctor Guatai waved his hand. The Grim Reaper was a nickname that many people gave him back then. He was very happy at first and even often called himself that. However, as he grew older and his middle school mentality disappeared, he only felt embarrassed when he heard this nickname now.

"Okay, Doctor Quata. Well, I'm also a doctor, the ship's doctor of the Red Hair Pirates. I have some questions I want to ask you. Is that convenient for you?"

Hongo's eyes were shining at this moment. He didn't expect to see the industry leader here. He immediately took out a pen and notebook from his pocket, squeezed in front of Dr. Guatai and said.

"Haha, no problem, no problem. It should take a while for them to come back. If you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely tell you as long as I know the answer."

Doctor Gua Tai is now considered a master-level figure. He does not need to see patients normally, as the doctors under him are enough. His main job is to make rounds and give classes. Being a teacher is one of his character traits. Now that someone is willing to learn, he is naturally willing to teach.

In this way, the two doctors, one big and one small, began their academic exchanges. Hongo and Kro Cass mainly studied internal medicine, herbal medicine and the like. Their knowledge of many surgeries was far inferior to that of Dr. Guatai. For this reason, Hongo began to flip through his own little notebook, which recorded many difficult and complicated diseases. He began to ask Dr. Guatai one by one, and Dr. Guatai told him everything he knew and explained as much as possible to Hongo. Of course, there were some things that Dr. Guatai could not do, after all, he was just a doctor, not a god. Many difficult and complicated diseases were still unsolved mysteries. He had no choice but to tell Hongo about the situations he encountered, hoping that later comers could have an answer.

Just when the adult and the child were chatting happily and the others didn't know what to do, Jesus Bu came back with Banchina.

"Are you back? Sit here and wait for a while. The report will be out soon."

Doctor Guatai looked at the two of them, pointed to the seat next to him and asked them to sit down and wait. In less than five minutes, a young nurse came running over with a stack of CT images. Doctor Guatai reached out to take it, put on his glasses and began to read it. After a few seconds, his brows were tightly frowned.

"How is it, doctor? Is it very bad?"

Seeing the doctor frowning, Jesus Bu immediately asked nervously, and the other members of the Red Hair Pirates also held their breath and looked at Dr. Quata worriedly.

"Not good. According to the CT scan, your wife may have a brain tumor."

As Dr. Guatai spoke, he placed the CT film on the light stand to show everyone.

"Look here, this is where the brain tumor is. It's compressing the nerves, causing the body to be uncoordinated. But don't worry too much. Judging from the situation, this should still be in the early stages and can be cured, but it requires surgery."

Doctor Guatai looked at everyone's serious expressions and immediately spoke to comfort them.

"Brain tumor, that means there's something inside the brain, right?"

Banchina said after a moment's pause.

"Yes, a tumor that shouldn't be there. We don't know if it's benign or not, but no matter what, it has begun to compress the nerves and needs to be removed as soon as possible. It should be done soon since it's not big now. But one thing you must pay attention to is that if you have surgery, you may not be able to continue to go to sea within a few years. You need to rest. Even if Madam Lily's ability can speed up your recovery, head surgery itself is not an easy thing. Rest is necessary. Even Shiki the Golden Lion rested for a year after having head surgery, let alone you. So three to five years is the ideal state."

Doctor Quata said, "Three to five years? It doesn't matter. Compared to going out to sea, human life is more important. Usopp is still young now. When the operation is over, we can go back to Xiluobu Village and have a good rest for a few years."

Unlike the original work, Jesus Bu is not trapped in Silob Village and longing to go to sea, but has been going to sea with his wife for several years. Over the years, he is satisfied with the feeling of galloping on the sea, but he has not forgotten his family. Now that his wife is in this situation, the first thing he thinks of is his wife's life. He believes that the people of the Red Hair Pirates don't mind. After all, they have known each other's personalities for so long.

"Right, right, isn't it just three to five years? When Bankina is well, we'll go pick you up. Usopp will be grown up by then, so how about letting him be a trainee on our ship? Buggy and I were both trainees, so we definitely have experience. I'll teach him swordsmanship then."

Shanks also spoke quickly. He was afraid that Banchina would hold on because she was worried about delaying their trip. After all, Banchina's strength was obvious to all. He didn't want Banchina's persistence to lead to something he would regret in the end, so he also persuaded her.

"Doctor, I want to ask, if I don't get treatment, how long can I last?"

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Banchina was moved and turned around and asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but based on my experience, ten years should be no problem. But can you tell me your purpose? After all, early treatment is better."

Doctor Quata looked at Banchina, it was not like he had never seen such a situation before. Some people who came here to see a doctor chose to give up or delay treatment for some reasons. Most of them were pirates. Yes, the Hospital of Beasts also accepted some pirates' requests for medical treatment. As long as they were not pirates who committed heinous crimes or were against the Four Emperors, the Four Emperors would not completely strangle this path. However, the final outcome of these people was generally not very good. After all, when they arrived in the New World, the final result was nothing more than a choice between challenging the Four Emperors or not.

"That's right. We have come this far. I hope to follow the pirate group through this final journey, so that I can have no regrets."

Banchina said with a smile, she knew others were worried about her physical condition, but now that they had arrived in the New World, she didn't want to give up halfway, and she also wanted to see the scenery of all the Four Emperors pirate groups before leaving.

"Is it okay? It's the same next time. Your health is more important, Banchina."

Buggy said at this moment, the Four Emperors Pirates are here anyway and they can’t run away, but the body is his own!
"Yeah, you can come next time! Banchina, your health is more important."

"That's right, chew, chew, chew. We can come again next time. We will definitely come here more than once."

The other members of the Red Hair Pirates also spoke at once. They all didn't want anything to happen to Bankina, and the right thing to do was to treat her quickly since it was discovered early.

"After all, this is our first time in the New World, right? And it shouldn't take too long, it should be over in about half a year. Can I get treatment after half a year, doctor?"

Banchina looked at Dr. Quata and said.

"Hey, you young guys, okay, I'll prescribe some inhibitory drugs for you, you can take them first. As promised, you must come back in half a year, understand? Don't be like those other pirate groups, I can't find them after they leave, understand?"

Dr. Guatai looked at Banchina, saw her stubbornness, and sighed helplessly. He knew that Banchina could not be pulled back even by eight oxen, so he could only choose to give her some help as much as possible.

"I understand doctor. I still want to see Usopp grow up. He will definitely take good care of his body."

Banchina got a positive answer and immediately said with a smile.
