[One Piece] Uncrowned King

Newgate didn't take it seriously when the girl said that she would visit her tomorrow morning. Her visit this time was just accidental. Otherwise, Dr. Nancy would never have wanted her daughter to be alone with a strange man whom she had only known for a few days.Perhaps it is because the town is so simple that the girl named Teresa has been cultivated with a pure personality, but I have to say that it is too much to rush to deliver medicine in such a careless place. Bold recklessness.

On the second day, Newgate completely forgot about the girl's exhortations, and went to the woods early in the morning to chop some wood and carry it over, split it into pieces and dried it to light the fire.So when Teresa and Dr. Nancy arrived in the carriage, the tall boy was sweating profusely, splitting the fire, and beside him were piled up into hills like wood blocks.

"Ah! Disobedient guy, I told you to take a good rest!" Seeing this scene, Dr. Nancy frowned, while Teresa jumped out of the carriage impulsively, and ran over with her skirt.

"You're really here." Newgate said a little surprised, and only loosened his eyebrows when he saw Dr. Nancy following her.

"Edward, Teresa is right. You should wait until your body recovers to do these things." Nancy got out of the carriage slowly. His legs and feet were not as flexible as Teresa's. He was seriously injured and weak. He walked towards Newgate at a slower pace than ordinary people, and said, "If Teresa hadn't told me yesterday, I wouldn't have known that you fired the part-time worker I found for you to take care of your life. Although self-reliance is Good thing, but you're too pushy."

When he discovered Newgate at the seaside, his back was pierced by a piece of wood, and his internal organs were also damaged due to compression. In addition, he didn't know how many days he had soaked in the sea. The damage to his body can be imagined.The so-called one-hundred-day injury, his injury was worse than that, and he dared to get out of bed to do things hastily in less than a month.Sure enough, even though he looks mature, Edward is only a 16-year-old boy, completely ignorant of how terrifying the hidden dangers of sequelae can be.

"I'm fine." Newgate bundled up the wood and put it aside, straightened his clothes and said to Dr. Nancy.This is his savior. Not only did he treat the penniless man for free, but he also found him a place to live. There is no way to repay him for all kinds of great kindness. I really don't want him to continue to worry about himself.

"It's not up to you whether you recover or not, you have to listen to the doctor. In short, Teresa and I will come here often. If you see you doing these things, come back to town with me." Dr. Nancy said calmly Said.

Newgate glanced at Teresa when he heard the words. The characters of the father and daughter really know each other. She also said this sentence yesterday.

"Come with me in the carriage, Edward, I'll check it for you." After Dr. Nancy finished speaking, she walked towards the carriage without giving Newgate any time to doubt.

Is it bad to be in the house?Newgate thought strangely, but didn't say much, so he washed his hands casually from the wooden basin, and got into the carriage behind Dr. Nancy.

Although Newgate didn't talk much, he was a kind guy with a good heart. He saw that he didn't want others to work too hard for him, so Nancy dismissed him and left her daughter to help him sort out a place suitable for the patient's recuperation. s room.After the two left, Teresa smiled with satisfaction, opened the hut where Newgate lived, and began to help clean it.She rolled up the quilt first, and then carefully wiped all the wooden furniture, including the single bed, with the potion she prepared last night.

"There are so many bugs..." Teresa rubbed her arms coldly looking at the little bugs falling off the wooden board.When I was changing the bandage yesterday, I discovered that Newgate had some small red bumps on her body. She suspected it was allergies or insect bites yesterday, but she didn't bring other medicines with her at the time, so she could only put it down temporarily.If you think about it carefully, I heard that when Newgate came to this island, he had nothing but a piece of clothing, and he didn't receive anything from his father, and this wooden house has been abandoned for so long, and the bedding must be unclean. Insects are also normal.

"Boys really don't care about their bodies." Muttering in her mouth, Teresa didn't stop her hands, cleaned up the bugs, and then applied mothproof glue to the cracks in the wood.Put away the old quilt and the quilt with a strong musty smell, spread the brand new quilt, quilt, and pillows that she sewed by herself last night on the bed, and even change the sheets.After finishing everything, she heard a slight noise outside. Teresa opened the door, and saw a few young men with repair tools standing outside the door.

"Teresa, here we come." The young man with half-long hair parted waved and brought three other young people over to greet Teresa warmly.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Teresa moved out of the way and pointed to the hut: "This room is too humid. Help me open a window here to ensure sufficient sunlight and ventilation." She painted on the east side After making an approximate range, he said to the young people.

"Leave it to us." The partial young man patted his chest to assure, and waved his hand to help open the window with his friends.

"Teresa, we are also here to help."

There was another shout from outside, Teresa put down the rag in her hand and went out, and saw several women walking towards here with various fruits and vegetables.The smile on Teresa's face was even heavier, and she happily went up to meet her and said, "Aunt Nouri, Aunt Dormer, Aunt Bra, Aunt Fei Lifen...everyone is here!"

"Yeah, don't I believe you? I kept saying yesterday that this foreigner is a good guy, otherwise no one would dare to approach him rashly." Some fat aunts patted down the food basket and said, "Look, I just I picked young cabbage from the ground, it's sweet." After she finished speaking, she put a vegetable leaf and stuffed it into Teresa's mouth, watched her chew it, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's delicious...very sweet and full of moisture!" Teresa picked another leaf and gnawed it.

"Girl, this is for guests. If you want to eat, just go and get it from my field." Hearing people praising her food, the fat lady narrowed her eyes happily, and smiled with the women around her. group.Teresa gnawed on the cabbage, and after seeing Newgate who got out of the car with her father, she waved to him and said, "Big man, come here."

Newgate was shocked to see the changes in the place where he temporarily lived during the moment he went in, and it was difficult to regain his senses.Hearing Teresa's shout, she just stared at all this in a daze, without responding in time.Seeing this, Nancy smiled and said: "After this girl went back yesterday, she tried her best to persuade the people in the town to accept you. It seems that it has achieved some results." He patted Newgate's arm and said: " Go ahead and call you."

Newgate nodded gratefully to Dr. Nancy, and then walked over with somewhat stiff steps.His tall body and majestic appearance really made women and young people afraid of him, and everyone's complexion changed.Only Teresa walked forward with the cabbage without the slightest fear, and stuffed the white jade-like leaves into Newgate's mouth under the horrified eyes of everyone, and smiled and said, "Try it, it's delicious." , Aunt Dormer planted it herself."

"..." I felt the faint sweet taste in my mouth, and the waiting eyes of the people around me.Newgate swallowed what was in his mouth, nodded and said, "Well, not bad."

Such a direct expression is more effective than any kind words others say.Seeing being treated so rudely by Teresa, he didn't lose his temper, and even said that the vegetables were delicious.The fear of the women because of his height and appearance gradually subsided, and they picked up their own food and started talking about it.

Edward Newgate.It was so easy to take the first step of integrating into Katness Island.
