"Looks like bringing Pryce into our pirate crew was definitely the right move!" Whitebeard Newgate stroked his beard and said this from the heart.
"Yeah, Pops!"
"Well, I'm off to do the shopping then!" Marco wasted no time—he grabbed a few pirates and took one of the small boats out to sea. After all, the list of things they needed to gather was pretty long, and Marco was planning to have Pryce churn out as many Senzu Beans as possible! Ideally, they'd get enough for everyone to have their own bag. If that happened, the combat strength of the entire Whitebeard Pirates would more than double!
....
Pryce watched as, under the hands of dozens of people, an enormous room slowly turned from chaos to order. Now, everything was ready—just needed Marco to bring the supplies back!
"Pryce this place sure doesn't look much like a normal pharmaceutical factory!" Whitebeard Newgate eyed the surprisingly simple setup, sounding baffled.
"Don't worry, Captain. Senzu Beans aren't just any regular medicine!"
"You can't judge them by ordinary standards!"
"Oh, right, Captain, I'd like to request a dozen or so sharp, quick-handed, clever crewmates to be my staff! to help me make the Senzu Beans!" Pryce smiled as he spoke to Whitebeard Newgate.
To be honest, Pryce never planned to keep the method for making Senzu Beans secret from Whitebeard Newgate and the others. After all, this was just an ordinary item from another world—Pryce was confident he'd unlock even more incredible stuff later on! Plus, from what Pryce knew of Whitebeard Newgate, Marco, and the other guys, these were decent people who wouldn't stab him in the back! The sooner he taught them how to make Senzu Beans, the sooner he could step away from this workshop and get to work on other projects!
Whitebeard Newgate was downright stunned by this! For a moment, he even felt a little guilty! He'd been itching to find a hint about the recipe from the ingredient list just moments ago, but it turned out Pryce didn't care a bit about that stuff at all! Instead, Pryce was planning to teach it all to his own crewmembers! Whitebeard Newgate met Pryce sincere gaze and nodded back.
By evening, Marco had already returned to the Moby Dick with a massive haul of supplies. Pryce hurried over when he heard marco's back smiling at the sight of the boat packed to the brim.
"No time to waste, Marco—pick your best people and let's get started making Senzu Beans right away!" Pryce gave Marco the word directly.
Marco was thrilled—he couldn't believe Pryce was going to show him and the others the Senzu Bean process! Soon, under Pryce guidance, Marco and his chosen crew were already getting the hang of Senzu Bean production!
That night, Marco and the others were still excitedly cranking out Senzu Beans. The process was honestly just too simple! But without Pryce instruction, they would never have figured it out for themselves! As a doctor, Marco's admiration for Pryce had reached its peak! This was a true breakthrough—bordering on a miracle of the century!
Watching everyone still busily at work, Pryce yawned and headed back to his room. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Pryce opened up his system panel. After an entire night of group work, they'd already managed to produce over two hundred basic Senzu Beans! Not a huge amount, but definitely way faster than Pryce could've managed solo! And the method was so simple—the others had completely mastered it already! At this point, the Senzu Bean "factory" only needed to run shifts to keep pumping them out!
At that moment, Whitebeard Newgate sat at the table with a huge pile of Senzu Beans in front of him. He couldn't help grinning from ear to ear! But Whitebeard Newgate wasn't like some of those selfish captains who'd hoard everything for themselves!
"Marco, divide the first batch of Senzu Beans among the frontline fighters!" With a wave of his hand, Whitebeard Newgate gave Marco his orders.
"Pops, what about your injuries?" Marco asked with some concern.
"These are old wounds, son!" "I've lived with them for decades!" Whitebeard Newgate roared with laughter. Marco could only hurry up and hand the Senzu Beans out to the frontline fighters.
....
When Pryce woke up the next morning, he was stunned to discover the Senzu Bean count had shot up to over a thousand already! These guys had worked non-stop to produce over a thousand beans! That was fantastic news for Pryce! And overnight, the already huge Senzu Bean workshop had been expanded by Marco—triple its original size! Their production team had grown from just under twenty people to over a hundred! There was even a dedicated supervisor for every step of the process!
"How about it, Pryce?" "Pretty impressive setup, right?" Marco couldn't hide his pride.
"Seriously impressive!" Pryce couldn't help but marvel at how big Whitebeard crew could go! At this pace, they'd be pumping out tens of thousands of Senzu Beans a day! He was almost ready to unlock his next item! Pryce couldn't contain his excitement at the thought!
At that moment, Diamond Jozu came bursting in. "Marco, Pryce, Pops is in trouble!" Diamond Jozu called out, clearly agitated.
Marco and Pryce both furrowed their brows and hurried down to the cabins. They found Whitebeard Newgate with a huge bag of Senzu Beans in front of him.
"Perfect timing, Pryce!" Whitebeard Newgate sounded both happy and disappointed. With a quick look, Pryce could tell that about half of Whitebeard Newgate's injuries were already healed! Marco rushed over and used his abilities to feel out the changes inside Whitebeard Newgate body. Once the Senzu Bean workshop's output increased, Marco had brought a whole bag to Whitebeard Newgate right away! Now, Whitebeard Newgate internal injuries had cleared up by about sixty percent! But some of the chronic issues from his gravest wounds hadn't improved much at all!
What's going on?
