Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 37 Joe Huzi

The three of them looked at Dr. Kureha, who was wearing a black tight leather jacket and leather pants. Although wrinkles were clearly visible on his face, he still looked energetic.

"It's hard to imagine that this is a 139-year-old man." Reiner couldn't help but sigh. The other person looked more like a living person than he did.

"We're here to see the doctor."

Reiner patted his butt and stood up, motioning to Zoro who was standing beside him and said, "Can you help us take care of his injury?"

Because of the mountain climbing competition just now, Zoro had taken off his only thin piece of clothing, leaving his upper body naked, revealing wounds all over his body, like a hideous centipede crawling all over his body.

"Who are you?" Dr. Kureha did not answer directly, but simply asked with a wary look in his eyes.

"We are pirates!" Luffy responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Chopper, who was hiding behind Dr. Kureha and hugging his legs tightly, poked his head out and looked at them curiously, "The pirates that Dr. Hiluluk mentioned."

"You can ask me to help."

Dr. Kureha looked at him for a while and said lightly, "If you can afford my price."

"How much does it cost?"

Reiner asked with a frown. He heard from Dalton that the price charged by this doctor called the Witch for treatment was outrageous.

If the price is too high, I'll just wait until I kidnap Chopper before treating Zoro's wound.

"Let me see, just 20 million Baileys!"

So cheap!!!
Reiner was stunned. That was not right. 20 million was definitely not a small amount. It was enough for an ordinary family to spend for many years.

He was too rich to have such a reaction. Although he felt cheap in his heart, he cursed directly:
"Old woman! You are such a jerk! My friend was only slightly injured. Look, he was able to climb up Drum Mountain with his bare hands. How dare you charge him 20 million for such a lively guy?"

"Treat me if you want, or get out if you don't want." Dr. Kureha said impatiently, "I said 20 million, and that's 20 million. If you can't pay it, don't bother me."

Reiner had a look of rage on his face and reached into his arms as if to pull out a gun.

Dr. Kureha's face darkened when he saw this, and several flying knives fell from his sleeves.

Kureha grabbed the flying knife and was about to throw it out.

Kureha was stunned.

Kureha slowly lowered his hand.

"Twenty million, work."

Reiner took out a stack of Baileys from his arms, stretched out his hand as if to take it, and spoke calmly.

Now that things have come to this, we can’t raise the price any further.

Kureha: “.”

"Funny kid, come with me."

The three followed Kureha and Chopper into the castle. Zoro was receiving treatment in the operating room, and the sound of a pig being slaughtered continued to be heard.

In the hall, Reiner and Luffy were trying to kidnap Chopper. After learning that they were pirates, Chopper was afraid, but driven by curiosity, he boldly started chatting with the two.

"Hey, do you have a pirate flag?" Chopper looked expectant.

"Hehe, of course there is. I'll draw it for you."

Luffy smiled and took out a pen and paper to start drawing, "Here! That's it!"

Unfolding the drawing paper, I saw a crooked skull drawn on it, wearing a straw hat, which was totally unrelated to their pirate flag.

Reiner, who was leaning on the sofa drinking tea, said speechlessly: "Luffy, your painting skills are too..."

"Wow! So handsome!!"

“Pfft! How is that cool!”

Reiner directly sprayed, I didn't expect you to be such a Joe Beard, looked at Chopper strangely, and said: "However, since you yearn for pirates so much, why not just go out to sea with us."

"That's right, come with us, Chopper." Luffy also invited with a smile. The excitement on Chopper's face gradually turned into hesitation. Of course, he dreamed of becoming a pirate. Doctor Hiluruku was once a pirate, but
"I can't be a pirate." Chopper looked lost, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

It was himself who was holding him back.

"why?"

"Stop asking." Chopper turned and ran away.

"Strange, is there anything that a pirate can't do?"

Luffy squatted on the chair like a monkey, looking at the direction where Chopper left with a puzzled look on his face.

砰

At this time, the door of the operating room opened. It was called an operating room, but it was actually a bedroom. After Valpo left, Kureha occupied the castle and renovated it.

"It's done. Let him lie down for a while."

Dr. Kureha clapped his hands and sat down. He picked up the wine on the table, leaned back on the sofa and took a gulp. "You two little brats, you actually tried to kidnap my pet while I was away."

"Hahaha, I've been discovered." Luffy, who was exposed, smiled indifferently.

"If you want to take him away, go ahead." Kureha didn't take it seriously, and said jokingly, "As long as you can do it."

"It sounds like you're quite happy about it." Reiner chuckled and handed the other person a cigarette.

"He always wanted to be a pirate."

"Then why not go out to sea?"

"Because he is sick, a sickness in his heart, and I can't cure it."

Looking up and blowing out a puff of smoke, Kureha closed his eyes as if recalling something, and slowly told them about Chopper's past.

“Because of his blue nose, he was rejected by his own kind since birth and has been following behind the reindeer herd all alone and unwelcome.

"Later, he ate a devil fruit by mistake and was attacked by reindeer as if he were an alien. He came to a human village covered in wounds. You have seen his appearance, and it is obvious that he was regarded as a monster.

"Humans' instinctive fear of the unknown made them unable to accept this monster, so they cursed, brandished knives, and even shot at it, in an attempt to drive it away."

Kureha seemed to be thirsty, so he took a gulp of wine and continued:
"Until that man appeared, Shilluluk, a third-rate doctor with poor medical skills, who dreamed of inventing a panacea all day long and talked about making cherry blossoms bloom in this country.
"It was just this person who redeemed this monster who was not accepted by his own kind and humans."

Kureha finished his drink, put the empty bottle on the exquisitely crafted marble table, and said with a look of disgust,

"After his adoptive father died, this kid came to pester me, saying he wanted to become a doctor who could cure all diseases. What a fool he is."

Kureha looked at the two of them seriously. "He was afraid of being hurt again, so he closed his heart and gradually even thought of himself as a monster, so..."

Kureha paused and said to the two jokingly, "Go ahead if you can do it."

"Hehehe, I've decided."

Luffy grinned, "I must make him our partner!"

"It's fitting, since our ship is full of monsters."

Reiner chuckled and stood up, rolling up his dark blue sleeves, "Let's go Luffy, I can't wait."

"Hehehe, the battle to capture Chopper begins!" Luffy shouted excitedly and rushed out first.

"Two idiots!"

Looking at the two people running away, Dr. Kureha spat and opened another bottle of wine. He really didn't know how they lived to be over a hundred years old.

"Idiots just attract each other."

His body slumped back into the soft sofa backrest, Kureha looked up at the ceiling in a daze, with a look of loss in his eyes.

"Are you leaving, Chopper?"
