"Yo hoo hoo hoo, I'm sorry."
Brook immediately apologized to Pato for his gaffe.
"Ahhhh! Ghost!"
But at this time, Pato suddenly realized that Brook was actually a skeleton, his eyes turned white from fright, and his body softly fell on Akira's shoulder.
Pato was knocked out from the shock!
"Yo ho ho ho, I'm Dead All-Bones Brook, please take care of... What…"
Brook raised his head, and just he was about to finish his self-introduction. When he saw Pato was knocked out, he rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, Brook, stop fooling around. Treating Akira's injuries is our top priority now."
Crocus interrupted Brook and said solemnly.
After a few minutes, they all came to the room under the lighthouse.
Akira came to this room several times in the past.
The room wasn't large in size, but the overall style was just like any medical room.
There were many murals hanging on the wall.
The pictures of human anatomy look extremely interesting.
Crocus took out a large box and opened it, and it was full of medical tools.
At this time, Pato woke up, and after knowing that Brook was not a ghost, but a devil fruit user, Pato was no longer afraid of him.
But the little guy seems to have changed completely and started getting closer to Brook, which made Brook a little confused.
Akira was lying on the bed, and Crocus was checking up on his injuries.
"Hmm, your body is recovering very well. The doctor who treated you has some skills." Crocus praised lightly.
Pato, who was playing with Brook on the side, heard Crocus's words, his face blushed, and his body started swaying with a gawky smile on his face:
"T-Thank you."
"Oh? You're a member of Mink Tribe. You have some medical skills, which is a little weird."
Crocus could see Pato's race at a glance.
Traveling the world with Roger, what else he didn't see.
What's more, there were two Mink Tribesmen on their ship, the Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi.
"Ah, yes, I'm Pato from the Mink Tribe. Please take care of me."
Seeing Crocus has recognized his origin at a glance, Pato felt a little happy in his heart.
"In the past, I used to be a pirate, and there were two Mink Tribesmen on our ship.
One of them is called Inuarashi, and the other is called Nekomamushi. They were funny and restless little guys."
He said slowly as if he recalled some beautiful memories, but he didn't stop examining Akira's body.
"The broken ribs have almost recovered, but some of them still need some care."
"The damage to the organs is very serious. Although it can't be seen now, the consequences will be very serious when as you grow older."
"There are a lot of old and dark wounds in your body. It seems I will need to take good care of you in the coming days."
"…"
Crocus kept talking non-stop as he kept examining Akira's body.
"Okay, the checkup is almost done. Now, let's start the treatment."
Crocus's aura suddenly changed, and his face became more serious.
He took out a lot of surgical tools from the box and looked at Akira.
"Are my injuries so serious?"
Akira looked at Crocus with a dignified face, and his heart became very restless.
"Well, your body has been severely eroded and destroyed by Kaido's Armament Haki. We have to treat these injuries as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will become dark injuries, which will destroy you in the future."
"Then I will be in your care." Akira said with a polite smile.
"You go out first."
Crocus said to Brook and Pato to get out of the room and then closed the door.
The room instantly became dark, closing the door.
"Crocus-san, is it convenient to perform surgery in such a dark environment?" Akira frowned and asked.
"The wound on your shoulder is infected by a special poison. This poison can't be exposed to the light. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary troubles!" Crocus explained.
"I've been poisoned?"
Akira glanced over his shoulder. He remembered the bullets that were shot at him from the sky, which made his face sink.
"Yes, but it's not a big problem. I saw this poison when I was on Rogers's Ship. It's extracted from a special plant that grows on a specific island in Charlotte Linlin's territory. But don't worry, I can solve it." Crocus comforted Akira.
"Then I will trouble you with me, Crocus-san."
Then he lay on the bed and relaxed his body completely.
Crocus wrapped Akira's body with special bandages from head to toe.
After he was done, Akira almost turned into a mummy by him.
After Crocus completely bandaged him, he squatted beside Akira, tapped on his ear a few times, and asked:
"What do you hear?"
Akira thought for a while and replied:
"Knocking sound?"
"Be more specific." Crocus said with a serious voice.
"The sound of a stick hitting a metal basin."
"I'm not asking you to describe the sound. I'm asking what you hear? If you can use Observation Haki, then use it to listen."
After saying that, he tapped again.
Akira closed his eyes and started thinking of his and Kaido's last blow.
After a few seconds, that special feeling suddenly appeared.
It was the same feeling that made him dodge the black bullet.
Akira used all his strength and concentrated even more, and with his Observation Haki, he finally noticed some changes in the sound he was hearing.
"The sound of bone-shattering?" Akira said was a little unsure voice.
"Bone shattering sound? The poison reached deep in your body."
Crocus frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he brought the medical tools box again and took something out.
"Now relax, don't think about anything."
Crocus ordered.
Akira did as he ordered, but unexpectedly Crocus smashed his head with a stick.
Akira was completely unprepared, so he was instantly knocked unconscious.
"That crazy old fat lady! Does she have so many Devil Fruits in her treasury, to the degree that she started extracting juices from some Devil Fruits and mixed them with that special plant to make the poison stronger!"
Crocus looked at Akira, who was drooling and murmured in a low voice.
He didn't waste any time and started working on Akira's body again.
…..
When Akira woke up, he saw Crocus was sweating like hell.
"Crocus-san, how are my injuries? Are they very serious?"
"Well, the wounds you inflicted in your fight with Kaido aren't serious, and they can recover after resting for some time. The real serious injuries caused by the poison, and this poison mixed with devil fruit juice, which makes it very troublesome to solve."
Crocus patiently explained to Akira.
"So, how long will it take to solve this poison completely?" Akira asked with a little worried voice.
"As long as you don't use your full strength, I estimate that you will be able to recover in half a year to a year fully."
