[One Piece] Uncrowned King

If there weren't so many natural barriers around Katness, it might become a tourist attraction.It is now the end of summer and autumn, and the maple leaves on the way down the mountain are all red, like a flame igniting the roots of the mountain.The two of them walked on the ground covered with bright red leaves, as if they were walking through a sea of ​​fire.But we should also be thankful that this island is isolated from the world, otherwise the beautiful scenery would be destroyed by human hands.Such a quiet and peaceful town is not suitable for living in the era of great pirates that is about to kick off in a bloody storm.

After talking with Newgate, Teresa's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, feeling that if this arrogant big man is always by her side, it seems that any problem can be solved easily.The two walked hand in hand on the road between the mountains. Teresa occasionally picked up some beautiful maple leaves and kept them. Katness is a romantic island. Residents here write their thoughts on the maple leaves, and then find a place to scatter them. Customs, if picked up by someone with predestined relationship, may also lead to a good marriage.

However, Newgate doesn't seem to like this habit. Every time Teresa ran to the cliff or put maple leaves in the river, he would feel cold all over his body.Although Teresa is only 15 years old now, her suitors can be lined up from the beginning to the end of the town. After all, although the girl has a bit of a doctor's occupational disease, she is beautiful and friendly, plus she is hardworking and gentle. like her.But until Newgate appeared in Katness, Teresa's suitors were much less, or they kept a low profile. After all, Newgate would always follow her behind her, with that keeper-like figure. A stare is enough to make young teens in love pee.

But Teresa doesn't seem to know much about her popularity, even Dr. Nancy once talked with her daughter about whether there is a boy she likes.She also just said to her father solemnly: "No, father, how can you say such a thing as a doctor? Girls who are not fully developed are immature both physically and psychologically, especially the female reproductive organs. The wall of the completed vagina is too thin, lacks elasticity, has few folds, and has weak self-wetting and cleaning functions, which is easy to be injured and cause infection. Moreover, if you have a partner too early, it will also cause too much pressure on the uterus, making it difficult to conceive in the future , and even lead to cervical cancer..." In short, it is to stop puppy love from a medical point of view... It makes Nancy's father relieved and miserable at the same time.

However, although Teresa's heart knot as a doctor was solved, there was another important thing that she ignored.It wasn't until she walked into the town that she suddenly remembered something, and she turned her head and asked, "Big man... Well, Dad is leaving Katness, and I will leave with him too. What about you, Newgate?"

"I will send you to your destination." Newgate said without hesitation. He stayed here thinking of how to repay his kindness, but Dr. Nancy didn't need him to repay.So if they leave Katness to go to the World Government, he will be useless, after all, the Navy will definitely protect these people with technology.When the time comes...

He will set sail, become a pirate, and live the life of his dreams.

only……

Newgate looked at the girl beside him, his eyes darkened.

However, he was reluctant to end such an ordinary life. The days with Teresa and everyone in the town were one of the most precious treasures in his life.

Hearing Newgate's words, Teresa stopped, raised her head and asked, "And then? Where is Newgate going?"

"Set sail and become a pirate." Newgate also stopped and replied.

"Oh..." The girl's voice became muffled. She pouted, lowered her head and said, "I thought...we could be together for the rest of our lives." She held his arm and raised her head to ask : "Couldn't Newgate continue to be with me and my dad? If we go on a voyage... it should be after the age of 18... No, it's after the age of 20... Wouldn't it be good to be with us before then? I can cook, wash and clean for you and Dad..."

"Teresa." Newgate stopped the girl's next words, and he said with some melancholy: "I am the child of a pirate, and I will not set foot in the world government."

"..." When Teresa heard this, she nodded in frustration and said, "...I see"

Newgate sighed helplessly, patted the girl on the shoulder with one hand, and said, "As long as we live, we will always meet."

"Well..." Teresa nodded, forced a smile and said: "Doctors have vacations, I will go to you when I am on vacation, and check my body by the way. You have to leave me a life card, otherwise you will not be allowed Leave." After she finished speaking, she tugged at his clothes and added, "Even if we've been separated for a long time, Newgate, don't forget me...forget about Dad and everyone in the town...or I'll be angry !"

"Okay." How could he forget that this is the only shelter for him who has been wandering since birth and was not accepted by anyone.

After the two returned home, Dr. Nancy had been waiting for a long time.I couldn't help but smile when I saw my daughter and Newgate smiling happily together.Great...Teresa figured it out.Dr. Nancy sighed in relief, then frowned again.He waved his hand and called Teresa over. This time, Newgate was also called into his office.

"Teresa, Newgate, the navy has come to inform you that you will leave Katness tomorrow. The person who got sick this time is also a prominent figure in the upper echelon of the navy. His illness cannot be delayed for too long." Doctor Nancy's two With his hands crossed on the table, he said with a heavy heart.

"Ah... I haven't even said goodbye to everyone properly." Teresa said reluctantly. This is the place she has been in since she was born, and she never thought of leaving.

"Sorry..." Nancy closed her eyes. He didn't tell his daughter that he didn't intend to take Teresa away when he left Katness this time.If you tell her now, Teresa will definitely refuse... But the world government is too messy, and he doesn't want his daughter to live that kind of life of intrigue.

After closing her eyes and thinking for a while, Dr. Nancy walked up to Teresa, pressed her shoulder with one hand, and said, "Teresa, swear in front of me."

"Huh?" Teresa was stunned for a moment, she turned her head and glanced at Newgate, then stood up straight and silently recited the declaration that she had recited hundreds of times:

"I would like to use my remaining ability and judgment to abide by the creed of serving the interests of patients, and to prosecute all depraved and harmful behaviors."

"I am not allowed to give dangerous medicines to others, and I do not give guidance on this matter. Even if someone asks, I will not give them."

"No matter where I meet, men or women, nobles and slaves, my sole purpose is to seek happiness for the sick, and to keep my body in check, not to do all kinds of harmful and bad behavior..."

She recited solemnly, looking directly at her father's with her eyes, firm and resolute.

"When you still ask me to strictly abide by the above oath, please ask the gods to let my life and medical skills be supremely honored. If I break my oath, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will all kill me."

The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth are really killing each other... Dr. Nancy closed her eyes and said to her daughter: "In my father's life, I never kept this oath in my heart in the first half of my life. But in the second half of my life, I have been working hard for it. Terry Sha, as a father, I hope you will not go astray like me, and follow this oath forever to the end."

Even if you leave my side, I hope you can become the best doctor.

The author has something to say:

To the best of my ability and judgment, I will abide by the creed of serving the interests of the sick and prosecute all depraved and harmful acts.I will not give dangerous drugs to others, and I will not give instructions to do so, nor will I give them even if asked.No matter where I meet, men or women, nobles and slaves, my only purpose is to seek happiness for the sick, and to keep my body in check, not to do all kinds of harm and bad behavior... When I strictly abide by the above vows, I ask the gods Let my life and medical skills be supremely honored. If I break my oath, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will kill me. - Hippocratic Oath
