Chapter 43 The Captain Has the Final Say
...
After Gel and Kulokas finished talking, Gel turned around and introduced everyone on the boat:
"Everyone, this is our skilled ship's doctor, Uncle Kurokas."
"Hello everyone, I'm Kulokas, the lighthouse keeper at Gemini Cape. I'm 49 years old this year. My hobbies are sunbathing and reading newspapers. My blood type is... my zodiac sign is... Please take care of me in the future!"
Kurokas gave another detailed self-introduction, and he was almost about to tell everyone what color underwear he was wearing today.
Mosan looked at Kurokas with excitement. He finally saw the miracle doctor that Captain Gel had mentioned. He was anxious, but out of politeness he did not go up to Kurokas immediately to ask him to treat his lover.
After everyone greeted each other, Gel spoke.
"Uncle Kurokas, this beautiful lady on our ship has been weak and often sick since she was a child. Can you take a look at her and let us see if you are just a name for nothing?"
The corners of Kurokas' mouth twitched, and he really wanted to beat Geer up.
If you can't speak, you don't have to.
Mosan looked at Ger with gratitude. The captain really did not forget what he promised them.
"Okay, you're not feeling well, right? Come here, little girl, let me take a look."
As he spoke, Kurokas opened a patinated leather box, and saw various medical instruments neatly arranged in the box. These were all his living supplies.
Kurokas took out a stethoscope from the box and started to examine Funi.
Mosan was rubbing his hands nervously. He wanted to ask about the result but he restrained himself and didn't dare to disturb them.
I am not afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor smiling, but I am afraid that the Chinese medicine doctor has a low eyebrow.
Seeing that Kurokas didn't show any awkward expression, Gol started jokingly:
"It's okay, Uncle Kulokas. Don't stress yourself too much. Just do your best. If there's really no way to treat him, just tell us. We can still go to the Drum Kingdom. I heard that Dr. Meldor is a skilled doctor. She will definitely find a way."
Men are most afraid of you saying that they are not good enough, and old men are the same. Kurokas immediately got angry when he heard that.
"How can such a minor illness stump me? Besides! I admit that the old woman's medical skills are good, but they are not necessarily better than mine!!"
Kurokas emphasized loudly.
"Okay, okay, you are the best doctor in the world. I was just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously."
Gel boasted, and Mosan beside him asked anxiously:
"Mr. Ship's doctor, how is Funi doing?"
"Don't worry, it's just that I was born with a weak body and insufficient Qi and blood. It's not a big problem. The trouble with this disease is that it can't be cured with medicine. It requires long-term treatment and diet to slowly adjust."
Kurokas took off his stethoscope and spoke slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Ship's Doctor!"
Mosan and Funi bowed and thanked Kurokas together.
"No need to be so polite. We are all partners in the same boat from now on. You don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Kurokas."
"Great! Great!"
The heavy stone in Mosan's heart was finally put down. With tears streaming down his face, he excitedly took Fani's hand and spun around.
Lab seemed to be able to sense the emotions of everyone on the boat and started to spin happily along with them.
Kurokas stood at the bow, frowning at Lab, and said to Gel with some concern:
"Captain, you have also been on the Grand Line for a while. You should know that this sea area not only has a changeable and harsh climate, but also has various terrible natural disasters, huge sea beasts and sea kings, and even powerful enemies that are like natural disasters. Laboo is so huge that he can easily become a sitting duck when he encounters danger. I am really worried about taking him with me. Why don't we leave him here and bring him here to reunite with Laboo after we find Brook. What do you think?"
"Hooho~"
Before Gel could say anything, Lab, who was in tune with human emotions, was already expressing his strong protest!
When it heard that it was going to be left alone here again, it screamed to the sky, its voice filled with anger and sadness.
Lab kept slapping the sea surface with his tail, splashing sea water onto Kurokas. Gel hurriedly stepped back a few steps to keep a safe distance from him, and Kurokas instantly became a drowned rat.
"Rabb!"
"Calm down! I'm doing this for your own good!"
Kulokas wiped the water from his glasses and shouted.
In response, he was hit by another wave of sea water.
"Rabb!"
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Lab shook its head violently. No translation was needed for everyone to understand what it was saying:
I won't listen! I won't listen!
Kurokas was helpless, wondering if he would have to use tranquilizers again.
Gul jumped onto the spur of the bow and shouted at the throbbing whale:
"Lab! I am the captain of this ship! You are also a member of the ship now, so you must listen to me!"
Perhaps because he has been sailing with the Rumbar Pirates since he was a child, Lab has always considered himself a member of the Rumbar Pirates, so he seems to understand that as a crew member he needs to obey the captain's orders.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Labu unexpectedly became quiet and stopped venting, but there was a flood brewing in his two huge eyes, and he cried out twice in grievance.
Am I going to be left behind again?
Seeing that Lab was willing to listen to Ger's orders, Kurokas finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of leaving it alone, he felt sad again. But this was for Lab's life safety, and he had to do this with hatred!
On the boat, knowing that they couldn't take Lab along, seeing the pitiful appearance of the little whale, sentimental people were already secretly wiping away tears. Funi took out a handkerchief and helped Bia wipe away her tears while comforting her:
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, the captain will definitely help Lab find his family and reunite them."
As he spoke, his eyes became wet.
Fate, Ajin and Senior, the three men were also struggling to hold back their tears when they saw this scene. The damn desire to win among men made none of them willing to cry first.
At this moment, I heard Gel continue to speak:
"Lab! Listen to me! Don't listen to that stinky old man, he doesn't have the final say! I am your captain now! The captain said he would take you on a voyage and he will definitely do it! How can a whale be afraid of the sea? Let's go!"
"What~"
The tears in Lab's eyes could no longer be held back, and two streams of water rushed into the sea like water released from a floodgate.
Gel smiled and raised his right hand. Lab leaned forward sensibly and gently rested his head on Gel's palm.
Fanny took out her camera and captured this beautiful moment.
Everyone was deeply moved, except for the old father Kurokas, who almost vomited blood in anger. He did not expect that Captain Gir, the sixth brother, would alienate the relationship between him and Lab and his son.
I'll play the good guy first, and then you'll play the bad guy, right?
"Ugh…"
Kurokas breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, he no longer held any objections. There was nothing to worry about. If he encountered danger in the future, he would just risk his life to protect Lab.
