Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 125: It's hopeless, consider ascension.

"Ah!!! Help!!"

In the sky, Terra spread its wings and flew towards the hospital. At this time, several ropes were hanging from Terra's front paws, and Roger and the others used the ropes to secure themselves.

For Roger and Crocus, it was easy; they could even stand on the ropes and sway in the wind, experiencing the feeling of the sky.

Despite being a doctor, Crocus is quite muscular and occasionally served as a combatant during his time with the Roger Pirates.

Shanks wasn't exactly at ease, but he sat steadily, feeling a surge of excitement as he watched the island below shrink. Bucky, however, was already regretting it.

The rope itself has little weight, even with their weight added.

Even a slight gust of wind would cause the rope to swing violently. Bucky had wrapped the rope around himself several times and was tightly hugging Roger's legs.

"Bucky, don't be so timid, this is a rare and beautiful sight."

Roger even loosened his hands and stood steadily on the swaying rope with only his feet. Hearing Roger say this, Bucky mustered up his courage and opened his tightly closed eyes, but he closed them again in less than a second.

Yanlong Aviation: Fast, safe, and thrilling all at the same time.

This isn't Terra's main job; it only happens when Leliana gets the urge. So there aren't any fixed seats. Terra can guarantee that people won't die from the fall, but the process might not be enjoyable.

After flying for about half an hour, Terra, along with Lyliana and the others, landed directly in the open space outside the hospital. They then flew away again. Terra's transformation from the drug was about to end, and Lyliana wanted to fly back to the royal city before it shrank.

[It is forbidden to beat patients without cause]

Upon entering the hospital, these eight characters are still the most eye-catching.

"That makes a lot of sense. When I get back to Twin Peaks, I'm going to hang this sign in my clinic too."

Kurokas was rather special; these eight words seemed to catch his eye and even evoked a strange sense of resonance.

Besides the slogan, the sign next to it showed the medical process. Following the signs, Roger and his friends successfully registered and went to a doctor's office.

"I've never seen this disease before. It's so strange."

"What are you talking about? Listen to his breathing rate, the changes in his heartbeat, and the alterations in his blood composition—aren't these symptoms of that disease?"

"Oh, so this is the disease? But shouldn't this disease be accompanied by muscle weakness? I see that his muscle strength is still very strong, and his nerve reflexes are normal."

"Those are late-stage symptoms! And they're just complications!"

"So that's how it is."

"Who exactly is seeing a doctor?!"

Seeing the doctor's unreliable attitude, Kurokas became very irritable. He had come to see a doctor, but instead, he was the one explaining his condition to the doctor.

"Where is Dr. Sidier? We said when we entered the country that we came to see him to treat the captain. Your skills are simply not up to the task."

They are looking for world-class doctors, not just random people.

As for the title "Doctor," this is usually how colleagues address Oran. In the eyes of fellow doctors, the word "Doctor" shows more respect for Oran than "His Majesty the King."

"Did you have an appointment with His Majesty the King? Then you've come to the wrong place. You should go to the reception area on the top floor."

"you do not know?"

Roger and his team got the process wrong. They thought the doctor knew something and was just the person in charge of receiving them, but now it seems they were wrong.

"Of course I don't know. I'm just an intern doctor. How could I possibly know His Majesty's arrangements? If His Majesty Oran is willing to treat you, there will be someone to receive you on the top floor."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"You didn't ask either."

"."

Despite some minor hiccups, the final outcome remained unchanged: on the new floor, they encountered a special android and met Oran in a special room.

"Dr. Siddirell, I am Crocus, a doctor from a small clinic. I have long admired your reputation."

"Where is the patient? You don't look sick."

"Here is my examination plan for him, this is the examination report from below, and this is my previous treatment plan."

To prevent Roger from steer the conversation astray, Crocus, as Roger's personal physician, directly communicated with Oran about the patient's condition on Roger's behalf.

"A good approach to suppression; your treatment method is ingenious."

"Thank you for the compliment. So, Captain Roger's illness..."

"You're a doctor too, and quite skilled at it, but don't you know the result? This disease is incurable."

The test report had already explained everything. Hearing Oran say this, Crocus was not too surprised. After all, according to his own diagnosis, Roger was already dead.

However, because of his reputation, he felt that Oran might have some solutions.

"Doctor, please take a closer look! Aren't you supposed to be the world's best doctor? Captain Roger is so strong, how could he suddenly get this kind of disease!"

Crocus is already a rare and renowned doctor, and Oran is someone Crocus admires. If both of them are sentenced to death, the outcome will undoubtedly be devastating.

Shanks didn't want to believe the result; he hoped it was a misdiagnosis. He pushed the diagnostic report and other documents forward a bit, wanting Oran to take a closer look.

"No matter how many times you watch it, it's the same. Didn't Dr. Crocus explain the cause of his illness to you? All of this is the result of things going to extremes and then reversing."

It's not that his body is weak, but rather that it's too strong. Now his immune system is malfunctioning; the overactive immune system is slowly killing his own body, and that's the real cause of his illness.

"Haha, it's alright, Shanks. Didn't we already know this outcome? I still have several years left, that's enough."

Roger stopped Shanks, who was about to say something, and smiled calmly, as if he wasn't the one who was sick.

"Wait! Since Captain Roger's immune system is too strong, what if we let him contract a disease that destroys the immune system? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Bucky seems to have discovered a new path, and Shanks agrees with Bucky's point of view. They feel that they have inadvertently seen hope for Roger's recovery.

"Yes, doctor, will this cure it?"

"You two are geniuses. If you were studying at my medical school, I would definitely kick you out immediately."

This stuff doesn't cancel each other out; it's more like the toxicity stacks. If you think your captain is dying too slowly, you might want to give it a try.

"Alright, you two, stop embarrassing yourselves here. This is no way to treat illnesses."

Crocus pulled them both back. Shanks and Buggy's logic wasn't wrong; if the disordered functions could be restored to normal, then it could indeed be cured.

However, the way to restore it is not by attacking it.

This is like someone wanting to lose weight, and the instructor just cuts off their leg without bandaging it, causing the patient to bleed to death.

"Excuse me, in that case, we'll be leaving."

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking. The disease can't be cured, but the person can be saved."

Oran's words brought new hope. Although he was panting heavily as he spoke, it was all worth it as long as he could be cured.

"That's great, how much is the consultation fee?"

"How much treasure do you want? We'll give you as much as you want!"

In Shanks and Bucky's view, nothing else matters as long as the illness can be cured; they even willingly put themselves in the position of easy prey.

"Dr. Crocus, since you know me, you must also know one of my medical philosophies: if something is broken and cannot be repaired, then just replace it with a new one. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Oran wasn't in a hurry for the consultation fee; instead, he started discussing the treatment plan.

But upon hearing Oran's words, Crocus frowned.

"If it were an organ or limb, then there would be no problem, but what about Captain Roger's situation? How would you replace it?"

This disease exists in every cell of his body; it cannot be resolved simply by replacing one part.

"Of course, we should replace it all. The body has decayed to the point of being unusable, so we should replace it with a new one. By replacement, I mean replacing your Captain Roger's body with a new one."

In other words, by transplanting his thoughts and consciousness, he can live a stable life.

Flesh and blood pain, mechanical ascension, body replacement—this was the only treatment Oran could think of for Roger's current condition.

The only difference is what kind of body you get.

Such shocking remarks are akin to telling Cao Cao that he needs brain surgery; ordinary people simply cannot believe them.

"What's going on?"

"Some scholars in the West Sea have proposed that a person's mass decreases by 21 grams after death, so these 21 grams are the weight of the human soul. Dr. Siddi Lier, do you think this is correct?"

Crocus stopped Shanks from speaking, signaling them not to cause trouble.

"The soul does exist. You can think of this surgery as simply giving a person a new body."

This ocean truly possesses souls; the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Fruit of the Underworld) is the most direct manifestation of this, and the consciousness uploading technology is also within Oran's research scope.

"So, you mean I have to give up everything I have now to manipulate other people's corpses?"

"Of course not corpses, but bionic robots. Just like them, they will have some impact on your five senses, but it's not a big problem. You will still be you, and there will be no change at all."

This will give you a completely new body and plenty of time to explore to your heart's content.

A very straightforward medical plan, or rather, a modification plan, was placed in front of them. Although they couldn't understand the technical terms, Bucky and Shanks knew that Roger could be saved.

Kurokas understood, but all he could say was that the plan was wildly imaginative and a concept he had never considered before.

But none of them expected that the problem lay with Roger.

"Hahaha, that sounds really good, but I refuse."

Upon hearing this proposal, Roger laughed for a while, then refused Oran's offer to treat him in this way.
