Ignite the fire from the pirates

"boom!"

With a roar, the middle-aged man punched the trash can, knocking it to the ground.

And the heart-shaped fruit fell from the trash can and flowed into the sewer.

After muttering to himself for a long time, the middle-aged man stood up, rubbed his eyes, turned around and went to the hospital again.

He knew he couldn't vent his anger in the hospital because everyone's nerves were on edge, whether it was the patients who were experimental subjects or the doctors who had failed countless times.

Any point could detonate everything.

The alley next to the hospital has become a place for all doctors to vent their stress. People come here every day, which does not affect others and allows them to release their tense emotions.

……

Three months passed, and Kevin from the G5 branch had been in contact with Spandine for three months.

But during this call, Spandine accidentally mentioned Ferefance.

"Do you remember the last North Sea operation? Thanks to you, I didn't get killed by that bastard Vinsmoke. But now his research institute is also under the responsibility of CP0 for its security."

"By the way, you remember Freifans, right? The white town where you came to see me that time."

"The Perlman disease has already broken out in that country, and the World Government didn't expect it to happen so soon. According to the time when the third generation died at the age of thirteen, it should take two years for the untouchables to discover it."

"The lives of the untouchables are the least valuable. If Freifans loses the value of the amber-lead mine, they will also lose the value of living."

"We made a lot of money this time. Those nobles needed a place to receive the money, and I provided them with some convenience. I have to say that they really made a lot of money over the years, and they were very generous in their spending."

"The New World is a boring place. Let's go to the Sabaody Archipelago together soon. There are no Celestial Dragons there now, and the entertainment industry is very developed."

……

Today's contact ended, and Kevin also thought of the country of Freifans.

According to the timeline, it should take Trafalgar Law a year and a half before he finds Don Quixote's family with bombs tied all over his body.

But imagine a country going from an outbreak of disease to chaos to being forced into conflict with its neighbors, and finally being massacred.

This process does take time.

It's just Perkin Elliot disease. Currently, it is known that only the Ope Ope Fruit can cure this disease, but the Ope Ope Fruit is still more than four years away from appearing.

Although many people in Feilevans were killed by soldiers from neighboring countries, it does not mean that they can all survive for more than four years.

Freifans, the environment faced by ordinary people in this country is the most capable of awakening thoughts and will.

Just one Trafalgar Law is not enough, the history of Freifans will be a benchmark.

[Note: In the original work, the fruit turns into a devil fruit when the previous user dies nearby. I know this. But devil fruits have their own will, and they will choose to be eaten by people who match their will. For this, refer to the Nika fruit, which has not been obtained by the World Government for 800 years, and accidents always occur.]

[Based on some details of the original work, the devil fruit is created after the Vegapunk chapter. According to Vegapunk, it is the power formed by the deepest desires, dreams, and will of a person.]

[As for will, refer to what Kaido said. Only those who have the ability to match the will of the devil fruit can awaken the fruit ability. 】

Chapter 139: Hope Born from Despair

North Sea, the white town of Ferefence.

The sun rises as usual on a new day, but for the people in this town, no one, whether doctors or the public, wants time to pass so quickly.

When the disease makes the end of life visible, the mood is maintained only because hope is placed on the doctors in the hospital.

Three months have passed, and every day is a torment for everyone. They hope that the doctors in the hospital can bring good news and save themselves who are lucky enough not to die yet.

There is no hope for this country. They just want to survive, or keep their children alive.

The appearance of white spots means that the disease has begun to develop. There is still time, but it may take several months, a year, or a year and a half...

It’s not just a symptom.

Three months ago, Ferefance's guards discovered that all the nobles had evacuated the country, and the surrounding neighboring countries had built barbed wire around the entire border and surrounded it with armed soldiers.

The entire Feilevans has been abandoned by the whole world.

There is great terror between life and death. Under the collapse of emotions, the loss of order has plunged this once prosperous white town into chaos.

If the doctors in the hospital had not stepped up, perhaps three months ago, all the people in this country would have died quickly, without the outbreak of this diabolical disease.

But three months later, doctors still haven't found a cure.

Someone once again cut the barbed wire and tried to leave the blockaded country, but as soon as he took a step, he was shot on the spot and his body was burned.

Two months have passed again.

More and more people died, and the sound of crying could be heard every day in every household across the country.

The middle-aged man looked at the white spots that had appeared on his arms, then turned his gaze to the child at home who had fallen ill.

Due to Perkin Elmer disease, the previous generation could live to the age of fifty, but the next generation can only live to less than thirty, and the next generation before the age of fifteen.

But I’m not fifteen!

My child is only eleven years old, and there are still four years left, but why...

Theory is just theory, at the age of eleven... or before the age of fifteen.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, there was a couple standing at the door.

"Go to the hospital."

"Ah."

After the brief conversation, the three of them had no more extra words. After settling the child, they headed to the hospital entrance together, hoping to get the latest news.

However, at this moment, at the hospital entrance, after five months, there are many people like them who come with hope.

There was no chaos or noise. Everyone was waiting quietly at the hospital entrance because they knew very well that noise would affect the doctors. They came here just for hope today.

Soon, a young doctor with bloodshot eyes and trembling steps came out.

Just by looking up, his red eyes met everyone's gaze.

Everyone at the hospital entrance felt their hearts tighten and their hands clenched as they looked at the young doctor who would come out every day to tell them about the progress. The hope in his eyes oppressed the doctor's emotions.

"Hold... I'm sorry."

Just one word shattered everyone's hope for life.

There were no complaints, but the tremendous pressure made the young doctor collapse to the ground.

He can't stand it anymore!

This job was just to go out the door and announce the results of the day, but the pressure and emotions it brought him were even more exhausting than the fatigue in the hospital!

Everyone left in silence, and no one went to help the collapsed doctor.

It's not because of cold-bloodedness and unreasonableness, but because everyone's hope has further shrunk today, and despair and collapse are approaching again.

As the crowd was leaving, a woman led a group of children and stood on both sides of the road, with their hands folded in a prayer gesture.

Pedestrians hurried by, and compared to two months ago, fewer people gave them food.

Yes. For five months, after the blockade of Freifans, food and a variety of supplies were at risk of being in short supply.

The church was originally used as an orphanage, and a nun with a group of children could not get enough food.

Things like Bailey have become worthless paper in this country. Even soldiers from neighboring countries who have blocked the border are unwilling to risk their lives to get the money.

Because of the notice given above, PerkinElmer disease is contagious.

"boom!"

The hospital door was pushed open.

This voice made everyone who was leaving stop.

Is there a cure?

Are there any new results?

……

For a moment, the crowd that was gradually dispersing stopped, but no one dared to look back.

After several months of countless pursuits of hope that finally turned into despair, they didn't want the flame that had just been ignited to be extinguished the next moment.

"Huhuhu..."

In front of the hospital gate, a doctor was panting but with a smile on his face.

"The amber...disease...is not contagious!"

In an instant, everyone turned to look at the doctor.

Will not transmit*.

Although it was not news of a cure, the conclusion meant that they could leave here, leave the country that had caused them to suffer from PerkinElmer's disease.

They can take their children to other places where medical technology is more advanced, to find hope!

"Woo..."

"We...will not be abandoned."

"Grand Line... Grand Line has a very good doctor! As long as..."

"Hurry up! As long as we can leave, we still have hope!"

"Please, please take my child with you. I have money. I have saved a lot of Baileys. It will definitely take a lot of money to leave here and go to the Grand Line!"

……

Everyone ran away. They wanted to go back and take their children with them to leave the country and look for hope of survival.

In the chaos, the nun protected a group of children to prevent them from being trampled.

A girl was held in the nun's arms. She looked up at the nun and asked, "Is Coco saved? Should we take Coco and the others to find a new doctor?"

The crowd soon dispersed, and the nun was stared at by the children, some of whom had white spots on their bodies.

"Ah."

The nun smiled as usual and nodded heavily: "Coco and the others will all be fine, don't worry."

Seeing the nun's smile, most of the children felt relieved.

Adults...wouldn't lie to children, right?

They were sick, but the nuns would find ways to make them better because adults would not lie to children.

Only the little girl Annie lowered her head.

Anne was already eleven and almost twelve years old, and compared to other children, she was able to sort out events clearly.

There were six children in the church who were sick, fifteen who had died, and thirteen who were still able to move.

White spots have also appeared on her body.

It was extremely difficult to leave with nineteen children and find a doctor who could cure Perkin Elmer's disease.

Soon, the crowd that had gathered in front of the hospital had all left, and everyone was busy going back to pack their luggage and flee the country with their families.

The nun also took the children back to the church. Although she gave them assurances, she knew very well that there was nothing she could do.

But judging from the current food, they can only continue to survive if they leave here. Only by continuing to live can these children have hope of recovery.

That night, all the children brought their own bags, and those who were sick were placed on carts and headed for the border.

They walked and stopped many times until late at night before they got close to the border.

"boom!"

Gunshots were heard, as well as shouts.

"Perkins disease is not contagious..."

"boom!"

"We are harmless. This is the hospital's report..."
