Musshuru looked back and saw a pirate stumbling towards him, saying in panic: "Captain, our people hiding up there sent back information that the doctors in the Drum Kingdom have developed an antidote."
"If this continues, it won't be long before the arrangements we left behind will be disrupted."
Musshuru heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "That guy, Wapol, should have either banished or killed all the doctors in the Drum Kingdom a long time ago. Did the doctors under his control take action?!"
"Probably."
The messenger pirate nodded, with panic in his eyes: "If we continue to develop like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take over this kingdom."
Musshuru glanced at him and said coldly: "When did I say I wanted to take over the kingdom? I just wanted to finish what I hadn't done before."
"Besides, King-sama is almost here. With his strength, even the dragon that is suffocating us right now is no match for him."
Musshuru patted his chest, feeling the special spores that had been cultivated for more than ten years and had reached extreme toxicity and infectiousness.
The corners of his mouth gradually opened into a ferocious arc: "I expected that they could cure these ordinary spores, but these little cuties that have been nurtured in my body cannot be conquered even if the Drum Kingdom is at its most developed."
"As long as we return to the Drum Castle and use the cannons to spread it out…"
Bang!
The pirates were startled, and when they came to their senses, they saw Musshuru walking away with a big laugh.
This time, Musshuru put away the joking expression on his face, his aura became more horrifying, and he slowly sank into the depths of the underground passage.
The pirates felt their souls trembling upon seeing this. They looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
They hesitated for a moment, then followed, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
The next day.
Nami and the pirate next to her woke up one after another.
Nami, who had survived the disaster, looked at Chopper with little stars in her eyes: "Is this the doctor who cured me?"
"So cute~ just like a rag doll~"
She hugged Chopper into her arms and pounded him hard with her hands, causing Chopper to burst into laughter.
Kureha, who was standing nearby, saw this and smiled.
It was because she hadn't seen the reindeer smile so happily for a long time.
As she watched, Kureha's brows gradually furrowed, and she murmured: "According to Gawain, this plague was undoubtedly caused by Musshuru, but the news that Chopper has developed a special medicine has been circulating for several days."
"But there's still no clue about Musshuru."
"So what is he planning… Wait!"
Suddenly, the scene that had already happened in the Drum Kingdom appeared in front of Kureha again, and her pupils trembled: "Oops!"
"That guy is probably planning to use the giant cannon in the Drum Castle to instantly spread the spores in his body to the entire magnetic Drum Kingdom!"
Kureha was so excited that she shouted these words.
Nami looked sideways, even stopped holding Chopper's hand, and said in confusion: "But Chopper has already developed a special medicine for this kind of highly toxic spores. In theory, there should be a way to treat it even if someone is infected."
"No!"
Kureha took a deep breath; her face became solemn, and her eyes were as gloomy as water: "This time, it's different."
"What that guy is going to release is probably the highly toxic spores that have been cultivated in his body for nearly twenty years."
"Compared to the current one, its toxicity is not even on the same order of magnitude!"
"Twenty years ago, the Drum Kingdom was in danger of extinction because of him, and that's why the old king banished him."
"If we let him succeed this time, everything we have done will be in vain!"
Everyone was shocked by Kureha's words.
Nami's lips were open, and uncontrollable fear gradually emerged in her eyes, and Chopper beside her had even more so.
Soon, Kuro also heard the news. He just took out his Den Den Mushi, but before he could make the call, his action was interrupted by a loud sound.
He looked up and saw a dark figure burning with flames passing through the sky.
"What… Is that? A flaming… dinosaur?!"
"No, that's a person with a very powerful ability. This guy gives me the feeling that he is even more terrifying than Gawain!"
"Damn it!"
"That direction…"
"Is that person here for Gawain?!"
In an instant, Kuro immediately realized that the mysterious, strong man flying through the sky was most likely coming for Gawain.
Because no one except Gawain could be his opponent on this island.
"Boy!"
Kureha felt even more uneasy when she saw this: "Those guys are probably Musshuru's helpers."
"This kind of oppressive feeling, this person must be targeting Gawain!"
"That guy is stronger than we thought. It won't be easy to repel him!"
"But once Musshuru releases all the spores in his body, most people on this island will die!"
"Quick!"
"Go to Drum Castle!"
"Destroy the Royal Drum Crown 7-Shot Bliking Cannon!"
Kuro's face tensed, and he hesitated.
The lives of the people on this island and the fate of this kingdom mean nothing to him, but Gawain is different…
Then he remembered the scene in the snow last night, and Gawain's ability, and his eyes gradually became firm.
He waved his hand to the people behind him: "I understand; leave the matter over there to me."
The next moment, snowflakes exploded all over the snow, and Kuro's figure disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"So fast!"
Chopper couldn't help but sigh, and Kureha beside him also had a look of surprise in her eyes: "Does even the deputy captain have such a strong strength?!"
"Actually, this guy, Gawain…"
"Maybe he can really leave his name in a place like the New World."
For a while, Kureha was stunned on the spot and only came to her senses after hearing Chopper's call.
"Dr. Kureha, stop being distracted."
Chopper calmed down; his expression became extremely solemn: "Just in case."
"Let's first organize Gyasta's citizens to take refuge in a nearby cellar. Ms. Nami, please notify Mr. Dalton and ask them to prepare as well."
"Once the situation gets out of control…"
"Then take everyone and leave the kingdom!"
Nami nodded; she felt that, at this moment, Chopper revealed a mature aura that was completely different from his cute appearance.
Unknowingly, he has grown.
But for Chopper, the future ship's doctor and even the director of the medical department, the more mature he is, the more reliable he appears.
Soon, the people around started to get busy.
The recovered patients and White Knight Pirate worked together to move all the patients in the clinic to the lighthouse next to the estuary.
Once the situation got out of control, they would immediately leave.
Of course, everyone has a deep attachment to the land that gave birth to and raised them and will never give it up unless it is absolutely necessary.
On the other hand, after receiving the news, Dalton quickly organized his men and began to lead the people in Drum Island to flee.
However, compared with coastal towns such as Gyasta and Bighorn Village, most inland towns are not so lucky.
Even if Dalton brought his guards and the help of 17 doctors, the number of people was still too small compared to the entire population of Drum Island.
"It's too late!"
Dalton punched the wall beside him, and blood oozed along his fist, but it did not alleviate his despair at all.
This was especially true for the civilians standing around him.
It would take at least several days to evacuate these small towns located in the interior of the island, even if the ships were ignored.
This kingdom doesn't have enough ships to take all its citizens away!
