Two days later, Kai Ling's illness had completely recovered. After replenishing some food, Li He and the rest set sail and left the medical village of Suersi. []
"To celebrate the arrival of the fourth crew member of the Horned Beetle, the ship's doctor, Pena, cheers ~" Li He raised his glass and shouted happily. At this moment, Kalin and Gru, who were sitting around the table, also raised their glasses to congratulate him."Welcome, Ship Doctor Pena."
"Thank you, everyone. I'll rely on everyone to take care of the voyage in the future. I'll work hard as a ship doctor.”After saying that, he drank the wine under Kai Ling's envious gaze. Perhaps it was her first time drinking, but Pena's cheeks quickly turned red. "Haha, Pena, you don't have to be so reserved. We're all comrades in the Rainbow Pupil Pirates. Today is a happy day. Everyone, drink to your heart's content. "But Kai Ling can only drink fruit juice, haha ~~" Just like that, everyone continued to laugh and drink. After playing until late at night, they returned to their rooms to rest.
Back then, Li He had considered the issue of female crew members, so the crew rooms were separated. Unlike Luffy's ship, where Nami stayed in the captain's cabin, Luffy stayed with the crew. However, with his personality, he wouldn't mind.
Early in the morning, Li He woke up under Kai Ling's joke. After washing up, he came to the deck and saw Pena doing some movements. Li He thought she was doing something like morning exercises, so he sat beside her and watched. It was a pleasure to watch a beautiful woman do morning exercises early in the morning.
Her light purple hair fluttered in the breeze, and beads of sweat appeared on her nose. Her beautiful figure made Li He drool. Perhaps she realized that someone was looking at her, Pena stopped and turned around. Seeing Captain Lee He looking at her with infatuation, Pena's face turned red and she whispered,""Good morning, Captain." He ran back to the lounge.
Li He also knew that his appearance had been discovered. He rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. He stood up and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast."It's time to find a chef. I can't always have the captain cook. Although I know how to cook, I only have a few dishes. I'll get tired of eating them very soon. The next step is to find a chef as soon as possible.”
At this time, Pena, who had run back to the lounge, closed the door and leaned against it. She was breathing heavily, and her hand on her chest felt her beating heart."Captain, why are you looking at me like that? In fact, Pena's pretty face had attracted many young people in Sur's. However, at that time, Pena didn't have a good impression of the villagers who didn't acknowledge her medical skills. She was very disgusted with this kind of attention, so she kept a cold face all day. Our captain, Li He, was the first person to acknowledge her medical skills, so he had already planted a trace of affection in his heart. Seeing Li He's deep love for Kai Ling, he also felt a little sympathetic and unconsciously wanted to get close to Li He. Therefore, although she used to dislike others looking at her like this, when Li He also looked at her with an appreciative expression, she was actually a little happy. This was the principle of a woman's appearance for her confidant.
In the kitchen, everyone sat around eating breakfast. Halfway through, Li He asked,"Ge Lu, do you know where in the South China Sea there is a very good chef? I can't be the one cooking for the next voyage, right?”Before Gru could answer, Kalin asked,""Brother's cooking is very delicious? Why do you need a chef?"
Li He saw that Pena also nodded. Only Gru was very calm. It seemed that Gru, as a voyager, knew the key. He said to him,"Ge Lu, explain."
Gru, who put down his knife and fork, sat up straight and said,"I can't deny that Captain's cooking is indeed delicious. But on the sea, cooking delicious food alone was not enough to become a qualified chef. The key was nutrition. Because there are all kinds of environments at sea, nutrition is very important. Our captain knows this theory, but he doesn't know how to implement it, so he suggested finding a chef.”After saying that, she picked up her knife and fork and continued to eat the fried egg breakfast on his table.
"Gru is right, but you didn't say where there are good chefs?”Gru raised his head to look at me, then at Kellyn and Pena who were staring at him expectantly. He slowly said,"I don't know." He fell to the ground and held it in for a long time until he didn't know. Seeing Li He and the others 'hurt expressions, Ge Lu laughed out loud. It turned out that they had all been played by this kid. When Li He and the others got up to settle the score with him, Ge Lu had already finished eating and left. Li He and the others could only smile helplessly.
Li He recalled the scene in the morning and asked Pena,""Pena, what are the names of those movements you did this morning? Why do I feel like there are some martial arts techniques inside?”Hearing Li He talk about what happened in the morning, Pena blushed again, but she still replied,""Oh, it's called the Five Animal Frolics. The doctor said that it is used to strengthen the body and can also be used in combat. However, I am a slow learner and have not tried it out to fight with others.”
"Five Animal Frolics? Wasn't that created by Hua Tuo? Was this doctor Hua Tuo? It seems that it should be." Li He thought to himself. When he heard Pena say that she had never used it in a fight, Li He said,""On my ship, there will be frequent fights in the future. It won't do if you don't have the ability to defend yourself. There would be many days of fighting and killing on the pirate ship.”Pena nodded, but she said awkwardly,""But, as a doctor, can I not kill people?”
Hearing her say this, Li He was also a little troubled. Who had a guarantee that they would not kill during a war? Li He suddenly thought of the scene when he first saw Pena and immediately said,""Didn't you use needles to make my arm lose feeling last time? You can develop in this direction. You don't have to fight and kill. When the time comes, if anyone comes close to you, you can paralyze them with one injection. That way, you don't have to kill anyone. But to increase your speed and agility, I think the Five Animal Frolics should be able to help you achieve this effect. You have to work hard.”
After saying that, Li He looked at Kailing, who was curiously watching them talk. He thought that the Five Animal Frolics might be of some help to Kailing, so he said to Pena,"Pena, can you give the Five Animal Frolics to Kailing? She has eaten the cat fruit before, so I think the Five Animal Frolics will be helpful to her ability.”Pena agreed without hesitation. Kailing, who was also very curious about the Five Animal Frolics, heard this and ran out with Pena happily, ready to learn the Five Animal Frolics.
Walking out of the kitchen, he saw that Kellyn and Pena were already studying on the deck, and Gru was studying his nautical blueprints in the cockpit. Feeling bored, Li He walked to the warehouse and prepared to absorb the energy from the remaining crystals.
Before evening, Li He finally absorbed all the crystal hands and got up to leave. Suddenly, she saw a small box in the corner. She remembered that it was placed together with Pelle's Pharmacology. It should be a relic left by Pena's brother. She picked it up and walked out.
Seeing that Pena and Kailing were still studying the Five Animal Frolics, he walked up and said,""Pena, this is the box that was placed in the treasure trove together with Pelllet's Pharmacology. I think your brother left it behind.”
When Pena heard Li He's words, she reached out and took it. She touched the box affectionately and then slowly opened it. Li He and Kai Ling also went over to see what was inside. When the box was opened, there were a lot of filiform needles inside. There were also some needles that looked like Chihon in Naruto. There was a piece of paper under these needles. Pena took out the paper and unfolded it. She looked at the words on it and started crying.
Li He took the letter and read it. He understood the gist of the matter. The needle in the box was a gift that Breyer had prepared for Pena. He had planned to return home and give the gift to Pena before continuing his journey to perfect Pelle's Pharmacology. On his way back, he had accidentally discovered the treasure and entered it to explore. However, he had not expected to be locked inside and poisoned. Knowing that he had no hope of getting out alive, Breyer changed the final mechanism and put the gift for Pena on it. Because this box was Pena's gift, no one could take it away. The letter was also his final will, filled with his apologies to Pena.
Li He and Kailing kept comforting Pena. Halfway through, Kailing curiously picked up a thousand books (she would say so in the future), but as soon as she picked it up, it fell to the ground. Li He saw Kailing's expression and asked curiously,"What's wrong?" "I don't know what happened either. I just picked it up and suddenly felt weak.”
Li He immediately thought of something, Could it be Hai Loushi's doing? I can't tell if I'm not afraid of the sea, but it shouldn't be bad.”"I think this thousand books should be made of Hai Lou stone. Maybe it was given to Pena by Blaire to protect herself." However, to be able to find so many sea tower stones and make a thousand books for Pena, it seemed that he really cared for Pena. I think those needles should also be mixed with Hailou Stone.”Hearing Li He's words, Pena held the box in front of her chest and muttered.
"What's a sea floor stone?" Kai Ling asked curiously.
Hearing Kai Ling's question, Li He explained,""You also know that you have eaten the Devil's Fruit. Anyone who has eaten the Devil's Fruit will be rejected by the sea and become a landlubber, becoming afraid of the sea. However, apart from being afraid of seawater, they were also afraid of a mineral that released energy similar to that of the sea. It was called " Sea Tower Stone." Ability users would feel powerless when they touched the Sea Tower Stone. However, seashore stones are quite rare, and even a small piece is very valuable. That's why I said that Pena's brother was able to find so many and even make them into gifts for her.”
