Chapter 283 The Bad Guy Who Was Not Doing His Job

...

It was a small accident, but fortunately nothing serious happened. Captain Gul sent everyone back to rest.

"Captain, doctor, I'm going to go back and rest now! See you tomorrow!"

Franky said this and wanted to follow everyone else and leave.

"Stop! Where do you want to go?"

"Hey, hey! Uncle Crocus, why are you grabbing the back of my neck?"

"You little brat, have you done professional disinfection on the robot arm interface? You know it's easy to get tetanus, right? Also, have you checked for immune rejection? Stay in bed honestly, stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, and you can go back only when I'm sure you're fine!"

Crocus grabbed Franky and tied him roughly to the bed.

"Ah, Uncle Kulokas, I'm really fine now! Captain, please ask the doctor to let me go!"

When Franky struggled, he realized that the old man in front of him was incredibly strong. He didn't even have a chance to resist and could only ask for help from Captain Gill, who was still sitting in a daze on the swivel chair.

"Shut up! The captain can't do anything about this. I will never let a wounded person leave my medical room unless he is confirmed to be fully recovered!"

Kurokas said firmly.

"Hahaha, you heard it too. He's the boss in the medical room. Everyone here has to listen to the doctor. So the captain can't help you. Just stay here for two days."

Gel spread his hands and smiled, saying that it was just a good opportunity for Franky, a child with ADHD, to calm down.

"Ah? You must be kidding, how could this be possible?!"

Franky closed his eyes with a look of despair.

"Hey, Franky, what's the power for your robotic arm?"

Gel asked as he trimmed his nails.

"Hey, Captain, let me tell you, the power source of this arm is syrup. The moving elements are composed of hydraulic cylinders, racks, cams and other driving components. There is also a precise guide device to ensure the flexibility of the arm. In addition, there is..."

Once he talked about topics that interested him, Franky couldn't stop and talked about a lot of professional knowledge that even Gel couldn't understand. It was hard to imagine that he was a kid of about ten years old.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising that Franky knows so much. After all, at what age can a child build a speedboat and a cannon?

"Syrup? Isn't it powered by Coke?"

Ger said to himself.

"Coke? Can Coke be used as a power source?"

Franky fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually brightened, and he said in surprise:

"Yes, why not try using Coke as a power source? The effect of Coke should be much stronger than that of syrup! It has the energy of syrup and the explosive power that syrup does not have. Yes, yes, yes! What a genius idea! As expected of you, Captain, you are also very knowledgeable in this area!"

"Haha, of course! I have some experience with this!"

Even though he was just praised by a little kid, it was enough to make Captain Gill feel proud.

"Damn it! I really want to go back right now and try out the effects of Coke!"

Like most inventors, after having a groundbreaking new idea, they can't wait to do experiments to verify it. Franky was the same at this moment, so he lay in bed feeling uncomfortable all over, as if there were billions of ants biting his body.

"Franky, you like tinkering with weapons so much, what kind of weapon do you want to make?"

Preparing to start chatting again, Gel habitually took out a cigarette and prepared to light it, but after being glared at by Kurokas, he remembered that this was in a hospital ward, and could only smile awkwardly and put the cigarette away.

"Captain! Of course we need to develop weapons that are both cool and powerful!"

Franky looked excited and answered without thinking.

"Oh, it's the same as if you didn't say anything. Just treat it as a fart. Let me ask you another way. If you develop a powerful weapon, what will you use it for?"

Ger continued to ask.

Franky fell into deep thought after hearing this, and then he was completely silent. The playful expression on his face began to fade slowly. He touched the mechanical arm on his right and said seriously:

"Captain, I think I will use my weapons to kill all the enemies and protect everyone!"

"Oh? That's a good idea."

"Captain, do you know? When Mr. Tom was about to be taken away by the World Government, I was really scared and desperate, because we could not do anything. We could only watch Mr. Tom being captured by them! Being tried! And finally sentenced to death!"

"I still often wonder what would have happened to everyone if we hadn't met you, the captain. Would Mr. Tom have died long ago?"

Gel touched his nose and said guiltily, "In fact, if you hadn't met me, your family should be building a sea train in the Seven Water City now, and you can still happily jump for a few more years."

"Mr. Tom didn't go out to sea as a pirate. So why should he be sentenced to death just for building a ship?"

“Why should our lives be judged and taken away at will by them?”

"I hate the feeling that I might lose my relatives and friends at any time!"

"I am very happy every day now, so I don't want a bunch of strange people to suddenly come in one day and ruin all this beauty!"

"Captain Gul, thank you so much for saving Mr. Tom and us. You also made me understand that only with power can we change many unfair things in this world. So when I grow up, I also want to be a superhero as powerful as you!"

"Although I won't be as tall as Brother Weeble when I'm 13."

Franky looked at his clenched fist with a firm gaze, paused and continued:

"But even if I gain power in this way! Even if I become a monster! I will work hard to become stronger and protect everyone!"

"Hahaha, not bad! You're such a boaster, little brat. But Captain, I like your mysterious confidence!"

Gel slapped him on the back of the head and laughed.

"Ah! Captain! How can this be called mysterious confidence!"

Little Franky protested, holding his head.

Kurokas, who was tinkering with drug experiments with his head down, also smiled in affirmation of the young man's ambition.

"Also, we are not superheroes, nor are we good people. There is a saying that goes: A good person does good things all his life, but in the end he does one bad thing and his true colors are exposed. A bad person does bad things all his life, but in the end he only needs to do one good thing and he returns. A good person needs to go through 81 trials to become a Buddha, but a bad person can become a Buddha right away just by putting down his butcher knife. So it's not easy to be a hero. It's more comfortable to be a bad person who doesn't do his job properly."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Franky thought carefully about the captain's words and discovered to his great sorrow that this was really the way the world was.
