Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 263



Chapter 263

In Twin Cape Lighthouse, a room full of medicines and medicinal smells.

TL note: Twin Cape is located at the bottom of Reverse Mountain, at the exit that leads into Paradise. The area is located precisely where the Red Line and the Grand Line meet. From here, sailors can choose one of the seven routes of the Grand Line by waiting for the Log Pose to set on the desired one. The lighthouses are located at the exit of Reverse Mountain, and are where the Reverse Mountain Arc took place. Crocus has been the caretaker of the northern lighthouse for at least 52 years, taking care of Laboon as well, minus the three years he spent as the doctor of the Roger Pirates.

Lin Tian slowly got up from the hospital bed, picked up the clothes previously taken off on the side and put it on, and asked.

“Hey, old man, how is my body, is there anything else?”

The injuries of that battle, as well as the peculiar Void Power inside his body, have always been a thorn in Lin Tian’s heart. After all, this has caused no small threat to his life safety at any time.

Moreover, I just can’t do anything about that kind of thing. I can only know, but there no way to deal with it. It feels like my life is not in my own hands.

After sniffing the medicine on the table, Crocus replied with his back to Lin Tian: “If I say you have no problem, it is considered a problem. If there is a problem, it is also considered no problem.”

“…” Lin Tian’s face was full of black lines, what kind of answer is this, I stripped naked and let you stinky old man checked me for a long time, and you gave me such a vague answer.

Lin Tian’s temper has improved a lot. If it was Lin Tian long time ago, he would have chopped Crocus already.

Just when Lin Tian was about to speak, a glass bottle flew straight over to him. He quickly reached out to catch it, held the bottle and shook it a few times gently, making the sound of heavy objects colliding.

Looking at the busy Crocus in front of him, Lin Tian asked in confusion: “Hey, what is this old man, and what is it for me?”

Still replied with his back to him: “This is the medicine you asked for me. It was specially made, mainly to strengthen your body’s resistance to that force.”

Shaking the bottle in his hand, Lin Tian felt even more puzzled, “Hey, old man, didn’t I say that the power in my body is already gone, now why are you giving me this thing?”

“Fool!” Crocus turned around with a medicine bottle and cursed: “Although your ability has disappeared, it doesn’t mean that it’s completely gone. After my test just now, that kind of power has been buried in your body. The injuries caused by it inside your body have almost recovered. This is why I said earlier that you might be fine for now. Now your injuries are almost completely recovered, but inside your body, there might be a hidden ticking bomb.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Although the injury was approaching to recover completely, it ushered in a bigger crisis.

Now I’m like sitting on a bomb. It may accidentally be detonated, blowing myself into pieces, just like walking on steel wire all the time, facing a life and death crisis.

After that, Lin Tian took back the heavy face and laughed abnormally, “What’s this? It’s just a force. It’s not a bomb.”

His arrogant words revealed his domineering, which makes others unconsciously admire Lin Tian.

After a pause, Crocus’s tone also seems to have dropped a bit, but he still has a heavy feeling, “But as you said, this kind of power is like not belonging to this world. It’s hard to grasp such a strong force.”

Hah… After all, he really experienced it, if he could control it so easily, he would have succeeded before.

Waving his hand, Crocus changed the subject and said: “Now that the power is deeply buried, maybe it is impossible to say that it will never come back.”

“However, you brat, it can be said that you have gained a lot of benefits this time. Except for that strength, the injuries in your body are not very serious, and the most troublesome is some sequelae. Plus, the Millenium Dragon bones you just brought here.”

Speaking of this, Lin Tian had to sigh in his heart. With such a large manpower and material resources looking for the Millennium Dragon, there is no news. Many people thought that this kind of creature was extinct. Who would believe that kind of creature can live for thousands of years.

Together with Luffy, it was so easy to find the thousand-year-old dragon that countless people thought was extinct, and got a lot of keel bones.

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, the old man Crocus was also shocked. When Crocus was still sailing, with the crew, they made a lot of effort and went through the entire Grand Line without fighting it. Now Lin Tian actually…

Pursing his lips, Crocus said, “In this way, as you said, that boy is very strange, as if he has a strange fate.”

Yeah! Lin Tian slightly nodded replied, “He seems to have a strange feeling in him, but he is clamoring that he is going to be Pirate King all day long.”

“Oh!” A hint of surprise flashed across Crocus’s face, “It seems that the captain’s voice is still affecting this era.”

Uncorking the bottle, Lin Tian opened his mouth and ate the pills in the bottle. A refreshing sensation flowed all over his body. The original heavy body became relaxed, and the whole person was like reborn.

Feeling the obvious changes in the body, Lin Tian looked surprised and happy. Didn’t expect that the old man’s medicine was so effective. It seemed that he still underestimated the old man’s medical skills.

Speaking of appreciation: “old man, your medicine is very good, didn’t expect you to stay here all day and the medical skills are still so strong.”

Speaking of medical skills, old man is extremely proud of his own medical skills, and there is no one that can surpass him in medical skills in the whole world.

“Of course, you were weren’t born when the old man was on the Grand Line. It can be said that the strange cases and medicine ingredients encountered by the old man, the whole world could not find one with old more man.”

These words sound like crazy, but Lin Tian knows that this old man is indeed qualified to say these words.

At that time, I followed Roger and worked as a marine doctor on a ship for three years. I witnessed the birth of a generation of legends, journeyed through the entire Grand Line. A few people really traveled around the world at that time.

As if recalling something, Lin Tian asked. His tone of voice filled with seriousness, “Grand Line- has something happened recently? It feels like a huge storm is coming. Something big is about to happen.”

The reason why he asked the old man about these things was because Lin Tian knew that although the old man stayed within the lighthouse and did nothing except read the newspaper, at the very least the old man must know a lot better than Lin Tian. After all, he was the ship doctor on Roger’s ship.

Since Roger died and pirates disbanded, those people randomly became great and famous pirates on the Grand Line today.

The Grand Line back then was several times more dangerous than it is now.

These people are hidden in various places in the world, like a disappearing from the world at night. But they are still active, namely Red Hair Shanks, The Clown Buggy… are only a few.

So, this old man must know a lot of things, with such a huge network of relationships, Lin Tian doesn’t believe that he doesn’t know anything about what happened to Grand Line.

Hearing Lin Tian’s question, Crocus’s eyes tightened slightly. Obviously, Lin Tian’s question surprised him. It also secretly represents some important secret.

After a little thought, Crocus pursed his lips and said solemnly: “It seems that you brat, you don’t know anything about leaving the Grand Line in the past six months.”

Leaning on the chair, shaking the glass bottle in his hand, looking up at the ceiling, Lin Tian muttered to himself: “Of course, I want to return to the Grand Line. In the past six months, I thought about it a lot.”

“In the Marine, my heart has to be bound by those rules. Now I am different from the past. After I regained my freedom, my immersed heart has slowly recovered. I’m going to Laugh Tale.”

“Laugh Tale?” After chanting the name here, Crocus’s tone also changed slightly, “That place’s not at all, beautiful. There is nothing to do there.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian rolled his eyes directly. You old man has been there. Of course, there is nothing good to see. But I have never been there, can the two’s view be the same?

Hey…

Suddenly, Crocus sighed deeply and said heavily, “The Grand Line, which has been calm for more than 20 years, will finally become messy again. Some things can’t be hidden anymore.”

Lin Tian’s complexion couldn’t help but become heavy. As the little rubbing man who stood at the top of the Grand Line back then, Lin Tian knew a lot of secrets and things. But because of this, he can understand what this means.

After a pause, said solemnly: “Is it really so serious? Grand Line seems to be calm now, it should not be so serious.”

Crocus didn’t answer face-to-face, but told about what happened a few days ago, just a few days before Lin Tian and the others arrived.

An old friend who had not seen each other for more than 20 years suddenly visited. That day, the two talked for a day and told a lot of things and the things of the year.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Tian has always acted as a loyal listener in this process, but the expression on his face changed drastically from time to time.

After a long silence, Lin Tian spoke at the end: “…Could it be that this era is the era when everything ends?”

“Perhaps, they are right. What happened for hundreds of years may really end in this era.”

bang!
