Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Saying goodbye to Kureha.

Zane, carrying Chopper directly on his shoulder, led everyone back to the port.

No accidents.

The port was in complete disarray.

Everywhere you look, you see the dead or wounded soldiers of the King's army.

"Boss..."

When Zane returned, the savage dragon, who was leading the hunting party to clean up the battlefield, immediately stepped forward to greet him and explained the situation.

"Chopper, from now on you'll be our hunting party's chief doctor. Now, please take some men and treat the wounded!"

Zane, who had been observing the area with his Observation Haki, already knew the details. After the dragon finished its report, he took Chopper off his shoulder and patted him on the head with a smile.

"Huh? My chief physician?! Damn it, don't think I'll be happy about that."

In fact, from Zane's affectionate gesture of carrying it on his shoulder all the way, Chopper's initial apprehension had turned into happiness.

Upon hearing Zain's appointment, it was first taken aback, then shyly twisted its body in a conflicted manner.

However, Chopper didn't forget his mission.

After overcoming their embarrassment, they quickly organized the ship's doctor to begin treating the injured members of the hunting party.

The King's army, after all, had a larger and more powerful force.

Even though the dragon was at the forefront, the hunting party still suffered considerable casualties in the battle.

Of course, such casualties are still within Zain's acceptable range.

For a hunting party to grow stronger, it needs not only rigorous training but also repeated battles with enemies.

Injuries and fatalities within the normal range are unavoidable.

After all, what Zain wanted were battle-hardened subordinates, not a bunch of babies he was protecting.

Otherwise, with his Observation Haki and Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities, he could have provided support from a distance.

"Manlong, take a group of people and go to the royal palace of this country."

Seeing Chopper organize people to begin treatment, Zane turned to give instructions to the dragon.

Chopper's medical skills are certainly not a problem, but the current hunting party is not what it used to be. With so many people, Chopper alone is not enough.

After Zane explained the situation regarding Doctor 20, the dragon immediately took some of the remaining members and left.

Doctor 20 is the "Doctor 20 Plan" implemented by Vapol after he became king.

Simply put, they are the 20 best doctors selected from Drum Island.

Drum Island, a world-renowned medical country, has a long tradition of excellent medical skills.

Therefore, to become a member of Doctor 20, one's medical skills, even if not as good as Kureha and Chopper, are definitely world-class.

The king's army suffered a crushing defeat.

King Wapol was even taken away by a bolt of lightning.

The palace at Cigu Mountain was undoubtedly in chaos long ago.

When Manlong led his troops at this time, there was naturally not much of an obstacle.

"Boss, I've found a Devil Fruit user. Should we bring him along?"

"No need. Drum Island is Chopper's hometown, and someone needs to take charge of the country again. Just release that Devil Fruit user."

On the deck, Zane hung up the Den Den Mushi after ending the call.

With nothing else to do, he kept a close eye on Manlong's activities at Cigu Mountain.

The Devil Fruit user that Manlong mentioned is Dalton, who has the Bison Fruit ability.

This person is currently the captain of the Kingdom Guard, but in the original storyline, he will become the new king of the Drum Kingdom in the future.

Zane is still a man of principle.

While Devil Fruit users are excellent prey, they are not hunted indiscriminately.

Regardless of whether he is a power user or not, his hunting range is limited to two categories: those who commit evil and those who are his enemies.

Even disregarding Chopper's influence, Zane wouldn't hunt down someone like Dalton unless the other party actively sought to become his enemy.

There are also 20 doctors.

He also didn't intend to take everything with him.

In addition to implementing the Doctors 20 Plan, Wapol also pulled a stunt by driving the other doctors in the kingdom out of Drum Island.

So he only ordered Manlong to take away half of the doctors.

He has just contacted Kureha to handle the communication for the remaining half of the doctors.

Waiting.

After Chopper led the ship's medical team to provide initial treatment to the wounded, the Dragon also successfully brought back ten doctors and twenty members.

Zane also assigned these people to Chopper's ship's doctor squad.

In order to appease these people, he had Baby-5 go up and talk to them.

For example, the benefits, the benefits, the benefits.

That's right.

Zain's method of appeasement was simple: he showered Zain with money.

The thing he has no shortage of right now is money.

Doctors need to eat too.

After confirming that Zane's group was not a pirate crew and that they were being treated exceptionally well, the anxious doctors gradually relaxed.

They then engaged in a heated discussion about medicine with Chopper.

no way.

The more outstanding a person is, the more arrogant they tend to be.

Especially among peers.

When people learn that Chopper is the ship's chief doctor and the leader of the ship's medical team, some will naturally be dissatisfied.

"Competition drives progress, and the atmosphere on board is getting better and better."

Zain was happy to see the competition between the ship's doctors.

It even inspired him.

He thought that he could also establish a ranking system within the hunting group, which would bring more enthusiasm to the members.

Our trip to Drum Island has come to a perfect end.

The new "Riding the Waves" ship sets sail once again.

The target was directly heading towards Upside-Down Mountain.

The world of One Piece is divided into the Red Line and the Calm Belt.

From the four seas to the Grand Line, one either crosses the Calm Belt or utilizes the Reverse Mountain, and vice versa.

Every so often, the water flow of Upside Down Mountain reverses, allowing people to return to the four seas from the Grand Line.

This is also why the Krieg Pirates were able to escape back to the East Blue from the Grand Line when they were being pursued by Hawkeye in the original story.

Boom boom boom~~~

The sound of gunfire echoed.

A fleet of five or six ships was approaching from the distant sea.

These ships not only flew pirate flags, but also continuously launched artillery attacks on the Xin Chengfeng Polang.

A dense barrage of shells streaked across the sky, crashing down on all parts of the new "Riding the Waves".

Despite its massive size, the new "Riding the Waves" cruise ship is not slowed down by its electric outer wheels.

As soon as the cannon fire began, the ship's helmsman immediately steered the warship to evade the enemy with agility.

"Why are so many pirates attacking us lately?"

"It is indeed quite strange. Logically speaking, given the size of our warships, ordinary pirates would definitely keep their distance."

"Stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight back."

Despite facing a pirate attack, the members of the hunting party remained completely calm and quickly got to work, each fulfilling their assigned roles.

However, some people found the recent anomalies strange.

"let me!!"

Just as the gunners were preparing to retaliate, a figure quickly ran out of the cabin and leaped onto the railing facing the distant pirate fleet.

"You trash bastards, how dare you disturb my happy time with the captain time and time again! I'll show you what I'm made of!"

The person who came out of the cabin was baby-5.

She glared angrily at the pirate fleet in the distance.
