Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 97 Playing with Heartbeats!



Chapter 97 Playing with Heartbeats!

Iska's consciousness was already very blurred.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be careless for a while, and was subdued by that "Collector" Bill, and then... was strangled by him?

After he let go of his hand, the pain caused by dyspnea still didn't ease for some reason. Not only that, her consciousness gradually sank, and her body became hot.

Afterwards, she only felt her body lighten...

Did I get thrown out by him?

I have been poisoned?

Before her brain had time to think about anything, she had already bumped into a soft body.

Is it... Ethan?

Leave me alone...go after that guy!

She wanted to open her mouth, but she couldn't control her body anymore. Before she lost consciousness, the last thing she saw was Ethan's worried face.

………………

"The old man has nothing to do." The doctor gave Iska an injection, stroked his short beard and said hesitantly, "Are you sure this girl is poisoned?"

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked.

The doctor pointed at Iska's neck, and Ethan looked along where he pointed. On Iska's slender and white neck, there was a small red and swollen lump that looked like a mosquito bite. There were also several small red bumps that appeared faintly, blooming on her neck like a plum blossom.

"This...is this? This is where the guy injected the poison?"

"Is it poisonous injection... that's okay, but according to the old man's knowledge, it should be a trace of a mosquito bite called Casquia."

"Caskia mosquito?" Ethan frowned.

"That's right." The doctor nodded, "After being bitten by that kind of mosquito, you will suffer from a disease called 'Caskia fever', which has a five-day incubation period. , it will continue to torture the patient, and in severe cases, there will be persistent high fever above 40 degrees, severe infection, myocarditis, arteritis, and even meningitis!"

"Is there nothing you can do?" Ethan asked angrily.

The doctor shook his head helplessly: "For such a disease... I really have no good solution. I was hired by the people on this island. The foundries on this island are all strong and healthy. You look like a cow, so you don't need a doctor with superb medical skills."

"Damn..." Ethan clenched his fists tightly, but he heard the doctor continue to say: "By the way, if we continue along the route... there is a place called Guci Island, which is a famous medical power. "

"Drum Ci Island?" Ethan thought of Dr. Kureha, that female doctor who has lived for more than 100 years and has excellent medical skills.

"But..." But Ethan hesitated, "I only have five days... five days, can I reach Guci Island?"

"I'm afraid not..." The doctor shook his head, "Guci Island does not belong to the route of Kakabu Island, and, even if you bought the permanent pointer of Guci Island... this journey is not only five days away."

Hearing what the doctor said, Ethan remained silent, staring blankly at Iska who was lying on the bed. She had completely lost the energetic look she had when we first met.

At this time, her eyes were tightly closed, her face was flushed because of the high fever, her weak and white lips were slightly opened, and even the breath from her mouth was full of heat.

The doctor sighed, and put his hand on Ethan's shoulder: "Young man... I've been in this business for a long time, and I'm used to seeing life and death. This is the fate of people... Sometimes, people should learn to 'accept' Fate' will do."

After a long silence, Ethan shook his head slowly.

"Perhaps you're right..." He suddenly picked up Iska who was lying on the bed, and gently wrapped his windbreaker around her body, "But I'm not a person who likes to 'accept fate' !"

Seeing Ethan pick up Iska and run away, the doctor shouted, "Hey! Where are you going?"

"I thought about where to find a doctor!"

Looking at Iska in his arms, Ethan seemed to comfort him: "Wait, Iska, I think someone can save you!"

Ethan almost forgot that besides Dr. Kuleha on Guci Island, there is also a very powerful doctor nearby!Although the original book does not have a lot of ink, it has also reflected his superb medical skills!

The ship doctor on the ship of the former One Piece Gol D. Roger, the lighthouse keeper of Twin Gorges, Kurokas!

"Nelson! Nelson!" Along the way, Ethan finally found the captain of the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce at the metal processing office on Cihuo Long Street.

"Oh? It's Ethan! You are... who is this in your arms?" Nelson greeted Ethan with a smile, and then noticed Iska in Ethan's arms.

"I don't have time to talk to you in detail. I want to ask you, when is your ship going to return?" Ethan asked eagerly.

Nelson looked at Ethan wonderingly: "About a week later, the sailors need ample rest time. Hey? Are you planning to go back with us?"

a week...?Ethan shook his head, no, Iska can't wait that long!
Seeing Ethan's ugly face and the state of Iska in his arms, Nelson realized that there might be something wrong, and he said seriously: "Are you going to take her back to Donghai to see a doctor? We... oh, no, just If you go out to sea like this, the sailors will not get enough rest, and there is a high possibility of accidents..."

"I understand, so, can you sell me a small boat? Then tell me how you all returned to the Twin Gorges." Ethan nodded, he understood that this kind of thing really couldn't be forced.

"No need." Nelson shook his head resolutely, "You saved the lives of everyone on the boat, and it would be too outrageous to say you bought it. I'll give you a small boat!"

He paused for a moment, and then his face became a little embarrassed: "As for returning to the Twin Gorges... the Twin Gorges have no magnetism, so neither the recording pointer nor the compass can be relied on. So... at this time, we rely on reference objects. "

"Reference object?"

"That's right." Nelson said, "When you leave Kakabu Island, you can use Kakabu Island as a reference, and the towering red earth continent is also a reliable reference...but... there is a distance between the two , there is no reference at all...Although there is a record pointer as a reverse guidance reference, the unpredictable weather will completely disrupt your sense of direction. I can't explain to you. Sailing by experience and intuition."

Having said that, Nelson looked at Ethan worriedly: "So..."

"It's okay..." Ethan hugged Iska in his arms tightly, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said seriously, "I can drive through this road safely!"

Finally, with Nelson's help, Ethan got a single-masted boat with a small cabin. After arranging the cabin, Ethan gently put Iska on the soft mattress in the cabin.

This time, unconsciously, she took the initiative to hold Ethan's hand.

"Don't worry..." Ethan patted the back of her hand, "I will definitely cure you!"

Before leaving, Nelson also gave Ethan a record pointer: "It takes half a month for the magnetic force of Kakabu Island to be covered, so this pointer is still pointing to Kakabu Island. If you feel completely lost on the road Once you know the direction, hurry back in the direction of the pointer.”

Ethan nodded solemnly, then lowered the sails, and the boat slowly left the port of Kakabu Island.

The climate around the island tended to be stable, and the boat sailed steadily to the outside of the island for a certain distance. After the boat could no longer be easily observed from Kakabu Island, Ethan suddenly put his hand on the deck of the boat!

"Old rules, burn and roar!"

Blazing flames appeared out of thin air, covering the entire boat in an instant!Even the sails on the mast were on fire!
After the flames were extinguished, the whole ship had changed drastically!The streamlined hull, the square sails turned into schooners, and that jet behind the boat...

"I haven't used this trick for a long time..." Ethan grinned, and the jet behind the ship slowly emitted a dazzling light...

boom!
Flames shot out from behind the injector, in a cloud of steam and water.The whole ship rushed out in an instant!

But the direction of the ship was not going straight away from Kakab Island, but turned a [-]-degree turn and headed towards the edge of the great route!
Ethan has seen a map of the great route, and the location of Kakabu Island, among the original seven islands, is one of the two islands closest to the great route!

Since I don't have such superb sailing skills and lack of sailing experience...then I'll use the most straightforward method!Unpredictable weather will disrupt my driving direction?Then I'll go to a place without those weathers!

That's right!Ethan's idea is very simple, he wants to sail all the way along the windless belt until he can see the red earth continent!
