Chapter 66 Post-War Banquet

After the war, the doctors were the busiest.

Law led his crew to rescue the dying Luffy. Marco had to treat Whitebeard, whose old illness had relapsed. The navy's doctors were short of manpower. The only person with excellent medical skills and little time was Hongo.

Hongo touched Cheng Xi's forehead with the back of his hand. Sure enough, she had a fever, and the temperature was not low.

He rolled up her sleeves. The wounds on her arms were all broken open, bloody and bloody. As an experienced doctor, Hongo responded to the symptoms immediately.

"She is in a very bad condition now. She is exhausted, has lost too much blood, and has broken several bones. I don't know if her internal organs are injured. We need to prepare a sufficient blood source and then operate immediately."

Shanks hurriedly said, "Draw my blood!"

Cheng Xi almost consumed half of her blood in order to help him repair his arm. Now it's time for him to do something for her!

Shanks thought to himself that he was young, had good physical fitness, and had Cheng Xi's blood flowing in his body. We are simply a perfect match!

Hongo was speechless about his own stupid captain. Can you just lose blood transfusion whenever you want?

He ignored Shanks' words and turned his gaze to Cheng Xi, who was forcing himself to half-open his eyes even though he was already at the end of his strength. He asked, "Cheng Xi, what's your blood type?"

Cheng Xi: "Kiwi."

Hongo patiently explained again, "Cheng Xi, I'm asking what your blood type is? F type, X type, or other blood type?"

Cheng Xi: "Nine pounds and fifteen pence."

Hongo: ...

Is she crazy?

It was Yoshino Junpei who answered for her, "Teacher Cheng Xi is type O blood."

Type O...

Hongo felt that he had received the biggest challenge in his career.

He had been a doctor for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms and waves, and all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases and rare races were no problem, but this was the first time he heard of type O blood. He

turned his gaze to the group of people who were densely packed around him, and everyone looked at each other with expressions that they had never heard of it.

A gentle but somewhat stern voice came from behind. The woman wearing a butterfly feather woven with a carefully protected box in her hand said, "What are you all doing here? Send her to a place with medical equipment and perform surgery immediately!"

Hearing the voice she had been waiting for, Cheng Xi finally closed her eyes and fainted.

Everyone quickly transferred her to the operating room on the Redfors. Kocho Shinobu opened the box in her hand and revealed the true face of the contents.

It was a bag of blood carefully preserved in a special environment.

As early as when she used the summoning talisman to summon Kocho Shinobu and others who were seriously injured, she realized the problem of different blood types in this world.

She is type O blood, and there are no A and B antigens in her red blood cells. In an emergency, she can transfuse blood for other blood types. Otherwise, even if she can temporarily hang on to her life, they will eventually die from excessive blood loss. But others can't transfuse blood for her.

After opening the store, Cheng Xi would store 200CC of blood every week for emergency use, especially in the first half month of sneaking into Marinford. She knew that she would definitely be injured, so she drew a lot of blood in advance, and it really came in handy.

It's safe to use your own blood!

When Cheng Xi regained consciousness again, she opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to block the sunlight because she couldn't adapt to the strong light. She half-squinted her eyes, her throat was dry with thirst, and she subconsciously said: "Water..."

"Cheng Xi, you finally woke up."

The moment he heard her voice, Shanks smiled and looked happy. He confirmed the temperature of the water in the cup, which was neither cold nor hot, and then took it to Cheng Xi's side and put the straw into Cheng Xi's mouth.

After drinking half a cup of water, the dryness completely disappeared, and the wounds on her body didn't hurt anymore. Cheng Xi felt that she was alive again.

Shanks said with concern: "Don't move your hands, be careful of the blood returning from the drip."

Cheng Xi: "Okay, thank you."

Then Shanks hung his right hand in front of her, compared a finger, and asked: "Little Cheng Xi, what is this?"

Cheng Xi:...?

There was a big doubt in her eyes, but she still answered truthfully: "It's one."

Shanks stretched out five fingers and asked her: "What is this?"

"This is... five?"

What is this operation? The first thing the patient did after waking up was to ask questions about numbers. Did he have some hidden mental illness that he couldn't explain?

The more she thought about it, the scarier it became. Her heart almost sank to the bottom. As a result, the red-haired man opposite her asked again: "Xixi, who am I?"

"Are you Shanks?" In order to ensure the accuracy of the answer, she added several more supplements, "A trainee on Roger's ship, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates?"

Seeing his serious expression, Cheng Xi was a little flustered, fearing that he would blurt out something nonsensical like "I am Ultraman Shanks from the M78 Nebula" in the next second.

As a result, Shanks' serious expression turned into joy, his eyes sparkling, and he said excitedly: "That's great. You had a high fever before and kept talking nonsense. Hongo also said that you might become a fool after waking up. Now it seems that you are still the smartest and cutest Cheng Xi in the world."

Cheng Xi hurriedly clarified: "I am very sober now, there is no possibility of becoming a fool!"

Because of her excitement, her voice was so loud that even Kocho Shinobu, who had just walked to the door and was about to change her medicine, heard it and said: "What does it matter? Even if you become a fool, you will be the smartest fool in the world."

Shanks nodded heavily beside her, as if he agreed with her words.

Cheng Xi was speechless and didn't want to dwell on this topic about fools anymore, so he changed the target and asked: "How long have I been unconscious? Is everyone okay? What happened on the battlefield afterwards?"

Kocho Shinobu changed the new medicine bottle and sat by the bed to answer her questions one by one.

Cheng Xi was in a coma for nearly three days, waking up earlier than she expected.

After Shanks arrived at Marineford, all the forces stopped fighting one after another and went to treat the wounded. At Rayleigh's suggestion, Luffy was taken to Daughter Island by Law to practice Haki. The others are currently staying in Whitebeard's hometown. Except for a few people who were seriously injured, everyone woke up after treatment and was not in danger of death.

Knowing that everyone was fine, Cheng Xi was relieved.

Kocho Shinobu: "You still care about others. You are the most seriously injured in the whole war. You should take good care of your injuries first."

Her tone seemed to be complaining, but the worry in it was about to overflow. God knows how scared she was when she saw Cheng Xi unconscious on the battlefield covered in blood. At that time, Kocho Shinobu's hands were shaking, and she thought of the last time her sister died in her arms.

Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen. Although Cheng Xi's condition was very bad, he was still alive.

"Yeah, I promise to take good care of my injuries." Cheng Xi said, and sat up from the head of the bed. He scanned the room, and when he saw the wanted poster posted on the opposite wall, his pupils instantly dilated and he exclaimed, then stretched out his free hand and pointed at the wanted poster: "What is that...?"

"It's your wanted warrant." Shanks tore it off the wall, took out several other wanted warrants from the drawer beside him and handed them to Cheng Xi, then showed off like asking for praise: "I guess you will be very happy to see this, so I posted it where you can see it first when you wake up."

Kocho Shinobu complained in her heart: What is there to be happy about.

She really didn't understand. Although the Demon Slayer Corps was not an official organization, it was not stopped. She had been a good person for half her life and didn't understand the pirate-like passion of this world. As a result, she suddenly became a wanted criminal. Of course, she couldn't change her identity in a short time.

Cheng Xi had a premonition about being wanted. After all, she had done so many big things, and she was just short of poking the sky. It would be really rude not to issue a wanted warrant.

Shanks: "The first bounty reached 3 billion, Cheng Xi, you are amazing!"

Cheng Xi took the stack of bounties and looked at them carefully. She looked really good in the photo with her clothes fluttering under the moonlight. She praised the Flame Photographer's photography skills in her heart, and then her eyes moved down to the long string of numbers. The first number was three, followed by ones, tens, hundreds... counting them one by one, it was just as Shanks said, there was a bounty of 3 billion.

At that moment, she finally understood why these pirates valued their bounty so much. 3 billion, it just sounds amazing.

Making trouble in Marinford, killing Sartan, and making rebellious remarks in public, all of which made Sengoku even feel that 3 billion was a bit of a waste for Cheng Xi.

Turning to the second bounty, it was Yoshino Junpei's, 160 million, no more and no less.

Kanae, 90 million.

Kocho Shinobu, 130 million.

Fallen Angel Digimon, 300 million.

Then there was the blockbuster Rosinante, whose bounty soared to 500 million for kidnapping a Celestial Dragon.

As expected, playing high-end games gives a lot of experience, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart, and did not stop his hands. He turned to the last bounty in one go, and then fell silent...

Oda Sakunosuke, bounty 200.

She asked again, "Shinobu, is there anything wrong with my eyes?"

"Your eyes are very good, you didn't see the bounty wrong." Shinobu Kocho explained, "He moved too fast, and no one noticed his true appearance, so no one knew that the person who picked the lock was Oda-kun. As for why there is a bounty for him, it may be because the navy thinks that everyone in the store has one, and they don't want to make him special."

Cheng Xi:...

"Isn't 200 a bit too low? It can only buy two newspapers."

Even the white bear of the Luo family is worth 500 yuan, which is simply the lowest bounty in history.

Oh, no, the reindeer on Luffy's ship only costs 50 yuan.

By conversion, one Oda Sakunosuke can buy four Choppers...

Cheng Xi shook her head, trying to get rid of these inexplicable thoughts in her head.

The news of her waking up spread quickly, and everyone came to visit Cheng Xi as soon as possible. After a few days, when Cheng Xi was almost well, Whitebeard and others also recovered. Everyone remembered what Cheng Xi said on the battlefield at that time, and held a banquet at the suggestion of Ace.

This banquet was very lively and grand, but it was not the banquet that Cheng Xi said to gather all races together. Only by completely overthrowing the world government can that goal be achieved. It

is really a long way to go. Cheng Xi sighed and then integrated into the banquet.

At the banquet, everyone was toasting to celebrate the victory of the war. The sound of joy and noise reached her ears. She drank the juice in the glass in one gulp and casually asked Yusula beside her: "Oh, by the way, after Blackbeard died, has the new Dark Dark Fruit been recovered?" Yusula

shook her head: "There is no news yet. It should have been taken away by those criminals who escaped from Impel Down and wanted to hunt for fruit abilities with him."

Cheng Xi frowned and said, "If it is not recovered, I'm always worried that something else will happen."

"The navy has sent people to capture them near the waters of Marinford. There should be news soon."

Rossinandi came over and told Cheng Xi: "Although Satan is dead, the World Government has not given up on transforming Mr. Bear. But don't worry, our Winter Melon Bear has successfully landed on the Technology Island and been transformed."

Cheng Xi gave him a thumbs up, not knowing whether he was praising him or himself.

On the Whitebeard Pirates side, when they felt the threat of death on the battlefield, Ace was able to muster up the courage to confess in front of the whole world, but when the atmosphere relaxed, he became a little shy.

He watched Cheng Xi chatting and laughing with his friends not far away, and wanted to go find her. He just took a step and stopped again. His heart was full of tension and expectation. He was entangled for a long time. The brothers behind him saw his appearance and joked privately that he looked like a young boy who had never been in love.

It's true that he has never been in love.

Joking aside, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were still very reliable at critical moments. They pushed out Vista, who has always been amorous and has been struggling among women for who knows how many years, to answer his questions.

Vista had already guessed this result, so he took out the rose that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Ace, patted his shoulder to cheer him up, and encouraged him: "Go, beautiful Ace, go find your warrior and confess your love."

Ace blushed all of a sudden after what he said, and was a little overwhelmed. Perhaps because he had already realized his feelings, he did not refute Vista's words this time.

He turned around and found that his other brothers were also looking at him with expectant expressions.

As the only brother in the Whitebeard Pirates who has been single in more than ten years, Ace carries the hope of the entire group.

He picked up the bouquet, took a few deep breaths, prepared himself, and finally walked in front of Cheng Xi.

Seeing him coming, Rosinante was very tactful to pull Yusura away, leaving the space for the two to be alone.

The moment their eyes met, the scene seemed to be frozen at this moment. Looking at the beautiful face of his sweetheart, Ace's breathing became rapid and his heartbeat accelerated: "Cheng Xi, I..."

Cheng Xi could guess what he was going to say next, but did not let him continue, but interrupted him directly.

"It's not time yet."

Ace asked in confusion, "What do you mean it's not time yet?"

Cheng Xi: "I'm going to do something very dangerous now."

"Join the revolutionary army and overthrow the world government?"

"Yes." Cheng Xi nodded and said in a serious tone, "It may only take a few words to say this, but the actual action requires real swords and guns to fight for strength. It is a violent movement of one class overthrowing another class."

Ace seemed to understand what she was going to say.

"When my revolution succeeds, if you still like me like today, then I will accept your rose."

She also liked Ace very much, but she had already made an agreement with those slaves who were living in dire straits to liberate them, and this agreement could not be changed.

Cheng Xi apologized to him, his voice choking: "I'm sorry, Ace, I know I'm..."

"So that's it." Ace's expression was not the sadness and loss that Cheng Xi imagined. Instead, he had a light smile on his face, revealing a row of white teeth, and his eyes were crescent-shaped, full of clean and dazzling boyish feeling, "I was scared to death, I thought you hated me." "

So Cheng Xi, you don't have to say sorry at all, this is originally my one-sided confession to you."

The boy's smile took root in her heart, and gradually grew wildly like a plant after rain. Cheng Xi also smiled and replied to him: "You are so good, why should I hate you?"

All this was seen by the red-haired man. The bonfire was reflected on his face, and the emotions in his eyes grew wildly, obscure, and the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates felt uncomfortable.

After so many years, the boss finally fell in love with a girl, but the result was good. He broke up before he fell in love.

"Boss." Jesus Bu picked up a glass of wine, drank it first and comforted him: "There are fish in water everywhere..."

He couldn't continue speaking halfway through. It is indeed difficult to find a good girl like Cheng Xi in the world. He had to throw the topic to his unlucky first officer: "Aren't you right, Beck?"

Beckman put out the cigarette in his hand. Even the first officer with a high IQ would find it difficult to face the problem of his captain's broken heart.

"Shanks, calm down."

"Calm down, what do you mean?" Shanks came back to his senses from his contemplation and was puzzled by Beckman's words?

"Regarding the matter of Cheng Xi and Ace, calm down first, and then we will plan it carefully."

Plan carefully how to snatch Cheng Xi from Ace.

"Oh, you mean that?" As expected of the captain and the vice-captain, they have inexplicably the same views on certain things. "I'm actually very calm, Beck."

"After all, we are pirates."

Whether it is treasures or women, as long as they are favored by pirates, they will do whatever it takes to get them on their ships, even if Shanks's competitor is the son of his captain. Before, he always thought that Cheng Xi had not yet opened up in terms of feelings, and wanted to boil the frog in warm water and take it slowly. Now it seems that he has to change his strategy.

Lime Jones asked: "Then, boss, how do you plan to snatch little Cheng Xi?"

After all, so far she seems to have a good relationship with Ace.

Shanks shook his head: "I don't know yet."

"But I believe Beck will definitely find a way to help me."

Beckman: "What if it doesn't work?"

When it comes to women, Beckman has always been successful. For him, chatting up women is as simple as eating and drinking water, but Cheng Xi is a surprise!

After all, her brain circuit is really different from that of ordinary people. Beckman feels that it is impossible to look at her from the perspective of a normal woman.

Shanks said confidently, "It will definitely work!"

Everyone realized that something was wrong. Didn't their boss seem too confident?

Sure enough, Shanks' next sentence was, "The book says that love is like planting flowers. There is no corner that cannot be dug, only a hoe that cannot be swung."

The Red Hair Pirates were silent for a moment. They were so surprised that they didn't know whether they should be surprised that their captain read a book or that he could come up with such a philosophical metaphor.

Hongo: "Boss, which book did you read this from?"

Shanks took out a book from the pocket of his loose trousers and showed it to everyone: "This is it."

Everyone turned their attention to the book. The book was of moderate thickness, and the two words "Love Tactics" were written on the fancy cover. It looked like a tattered book sold at a street stall for 200 Baileys.

Beckman looked at Shanks as if he was a fool and asked, "Where did you get this book?"

Shanks: "Before I set sail from the last island, an old man sold it to me, saying that this book can solve 99% of the problems in relationships." Jesus

: "How much?"

Shanks: "One hundred thousand Baileys."

Beckman said speechlessly: "Shanks, I think you have been deceived and are still helping others count money!"

How could you believe such a clumsy trick! ?

Shanks unfolded the book, flipped through two pages at random, and said innocently: "But what is written here seems to be really useful."

Beckman took the book from him, and a few crew members with curious expressions surrounded him. They read a few pages at random, and their expressions gradually became serious.

Because he found that what was written here really seemed to be the case, the principles and views were simple and easy to understand, and the author was a high-end emotional player and a veteran in the world of romance.

"What are you reading?" Suddenly a voice interrupted their onlookers, and they looked up and found that this person was the person their boss wanted to dig into the corner, Cheng Xi.

Jesus Bu waved his hands and argued, "Nothing, nothing."

Unfortunately, Cheng Xi had already seen the cover of the book from a tricky angle: "Hey, why are you reading this book!?"

Everyone said in unison: "Have you read it too?"

"Not only have I read it, I wrote this book."

Red Group: ...?

"You wrote it?"

Confused, puzzled, shocked·JPG

"Yes, when I was in the navy, there was a period of time when I was particularly short of money. It is well known that people with love brains can make money very easily in the world, so I put on a vest, wrote this love guide in ten days, and then sold it to people who were confused about relationships. I really made a lot of money!"

Cheng Xi's tone was a little nostalgic.

The red group had not yet understood the information in her previous sentence, and Cheng Xi said again: "Oh, by the way, who won the truth or dare game?"

They didn't understand what the relationship between the love book and the truth or dare game was?

"At that time, we often played truth or dare. Whoever won would point out an awkward sentence in the book and ask the loser to read it out loud. It was very interesting."

Red Group: ...

Beckman: You see, I said her brain circuits were different from ordinary people.

The banquet here was very lively, but the waters near Marinford were dark at this moment. On the Margaret Pizza, except for a few crew members who were on night watch, most of the others had fallen into a deep sleep.

In the captain's room, Bonnie turned back into his ten-year-old body and lay on the bed, preparing to fall asleep when he suddenly felt the ship shaking violently and there were fierce shouting and fighting outside.

She quickly jumped out of bed, turned her body into a 22-year-old state, and ran to the deck at the fastest speed. As she thought, it was not the vibration caused by the vortex of the ocean current, but an attack by the enemy.

With the dim moonlight, Bonnie found that the people on the opposite side did not even have a finished pirate ship. They were riding on a raft made of several huge logs, which looked very simple, so this attack should be just an accident.

The people on the opposite side were all Blackbeard's men who appeared in the live broadcast a few days ago. They were very dangerous enemies. Bonnie punched and immediately prepared for battle.

After Blackbeard died, the fruit in Katarina's hand that was about to turn into the Tremor-Tremor Fruit turned into the Dark-Dark Fruit. Their makeshift team also parted ways and completely dispersed.

In the past few days, Katarina was chased by the navy with the Dark-Dark Fruit and fled everywhere. She was exhausted, so she planned to catch a large pirate nearby to exchange for safety with the navy. She was lucky. At the beginning, she hunted the supernova known as the worst generation.

The most important thing is that this is still a woman, a beautiful girl thief. Katarina's nickname is Xuanyue Hunter, and she specializes in strangling girls who are prettier than her.

The so-called Worst Generation is just a group of young brats who have just entered the Grand Line. Compared with experienced pirates like herself, they are simply vulnerable.

She looked at Bonnie's pretty face and decided to peel off her skin before handing her over to the navy. With this in mind, she had already made a move.

Katarina was right. A pirate who had just debuted for less than half a year could not beat her with a nine-tailed fox-shaped mythical beast.

The fist was about to fall on her body, and Bonnie subconsciously closed her eyes and curled up her body, waiting for the pain and wounds to come.

However, none of this happened.

Bonnie opened her eyes carefully. Under the dim moonlight, a tall pirate with a Bible in his hand stood in front of her to block the blow for her.

Bonnie covered her mouth, unable to believe what she saw: "Dad!"

The usually gentle Big Bear got angry for the first time, and yelled at the ugly long-nosed female pirate: "Don't bully my daughter."

After knocking Katarina away, something fell out of her clothes. The bear bent down to pick it up. It was the Dark-Dark Fruit that Blackbeard had disguised for more than 20 years.

Big Bear didn't care about the fruit, because he already had the most precious treasure in the world. He hugged Bonnie, who had turned back into a child, and tears flowed uncontrollably: "Bonnie, I'm sorry, Dad is late."

Bonnie also cried very sadly: "Dad, I miss you so much." The father

and daughter who had experienced countless twists and turns finally reunited on this cool night, and they will never be separated again.
