[Pirate] Ann

"You...you are!" The originally arrogant pirate's face changed suddenly after seeing the appearance of the visitor, and even his voice trembled.

"Redhead—"

The scene became dramatic in an instant, and the group of pirates who were still particularly arrogant at this time turned pale and retreated again and again.

"Calm down!" As expected of being the captain of a ship, the pirate at the head can still order seriously even in front of such a powerful enemy, "Even if it is the Four Emperors, there is only one person on the other side now, not to mention our There are still hostages here!"

His words gave the crew of his family an invisible courage, and most of the people who originally wanted to go into the sea together stopped walking, although their faces were still not very good.

"Yes... yes! There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"As long as we kill this guy, it will be our first day!"

"Bang—bang—" two gunshots sounded, and the opponent fired at Shanks.

Even though it was clear that such an attack would not cause any harm to Shanks, An's heart was still lifted at this moment.Ann only saw a flash of silver light, and when he saw it again, Shanks was already standing among the group of pirates.

"Pfft——" The leading pirate was cut with a wound on his chest, and blood spurted out, before he even had time to show his shock, he fell straight to the ground.

The other pirates who just came to their senses were terrified, and took out their weapons to aim at Shanks, but they all fell down in the next instant.

"What... what's going on..." Ann looked at the group of people who fell to the ground and passed out in disbelief, Shanks obviously didn't do anything just now.

"mom!"

The child just now rushed into her mother's arms and cried again. The woman stood up gratefully holding the child and thanked Shanks.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" the crowd burst into astonishing cheers, and the station staff immediately ran to the hostages to appease the hostages.

In the chaos, Shanks turned around and strode to Ann's side, glanced at her bleeding arm, frowned, "Let's go back to the boat immediately and let Larch treat your wound."

"Wait a minute," Ann avoided his outstretched hand, "I want another person to bandage me."

A few minutes later, the two were sitting in Blackjack's room, and Ann showed each other her numb arm, grinning silly.

"You little girl, why are you still laughing like this when you're hurt!" Probably because of the nature of a doctor, as soon as Blackjack saw the horrifying wound on the girl's delicate arm, he immediately took out the medical supplies and sat on her lap. Start the hands-on treatment in front of you.

"Because I've thought about it, and I really hope you can meet Laqi!" A trace of cold sweat broke out on Ann's forehead because of the touch of the wound, but she still kept her smiling face.

Blackjack didn't answer, but took out a needle and silk thread from the side after hemostasis and disinfection, and said, "I didn't hurt the bone, but I need stitches. I don't have anesthesia, so bear with it."

"Eh?!"

Before Ann could react, Blackjack had already started stitching.There was only a slight stabbing pain from his arm. Seeing his unbelievable speed, An didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Oh!" Shanks also showed a very interested expression.

So it didn't take long for Blackjack to complete the stitches. Ann looked around the wound and sighed after a while: "That's...that's amazing!"

"Okay, okay, I'll let that boy, Laqi, deal with it for you later, and there will definitely be no scars."

"Oh, thank you!" An smiled, but she had no intention of leaving at all.

Blackjack glanced at her, "Why is the little girl so persistent."

"I just hope my companions don't waste the opportunity to see their loved ones."

"You..." Blackjack was about to say something when a knock on the door interrupted him.

"knock knock"

Blackjack got up and opened the door, and a haggard-looking woman entered.

Seeing that her persuasion was about to succeed, An stared at the woman with somewhat complaining eyes, but the latter was obviously immersed in her own sorrow and didn't realize it at all.

"Doctor Jack..." the woman choked with sobs, "I...I agree to your terms, please euthanize my father."

Euthanasia?

Ann and Shanks looked at each other, both of them couldn't quite believe the words they just heard.They watched as Blackjack turned around and walked into the inner room without saying anything, and came out with an extra box in his hand.

"Hey, I'm going to make a doctor's visit, you should go back quickly."

The two who had been ordered to leave the room reluctantly walked out of the room, watching Blackjack and the woman leave together.

"Shanks."

"what?"

An lowered her body, put on a sneaky look, and said softly: "Keep your voice down! Let's follow up and have a look!"

Shanks looked at Ann amusedly, there was no one around here at all, and in broad daylight, this appearance was more noticeable, right?

Having said that, he still followed Ann and followed the two of them all the way to the hospital.

"Hospital?" Ann frowned, she didn't like the smell of the potion.

"Did you hear what that man said just now?" Shanks bent down slightly and asked softly.

"Hmm." Ann nodded, and the two people in sight had already entered a ward, "Euthanasia, can such a thing be achieved artificially?"

Shanks didn't answer, no matter what happens on the great route, it's not surprising, but this is the first time I've heard of a technology like euthanasia.

"Go and have a look." An made a silent gesture with a serious face, so the two approached the ward together, and gently opened the door a crack.Unexpectedly, the door was pulled open by the people inside in the next second. Blackjack looked at the two people standing at the door expressionlessly, and said, "If you want to see it, come in and see it."

Ann, who was allowed to enter the room, followed unceremoniously, and Shanks had no choice but to go in together.Apart from the woman they had seen, there were several people in the ward. When they saw Ann and Shanks walking in, they showed a little puzzled expression, but they didn't say anything.An old man was lying on the hospital bed in the center, wearing an oxygen mask, and his expression looked very painful.

"Doctor, please begin."

"Well, before that, please sign this agreement first." Blackjack said, taking out an agreement and a pen.

The people in the room looked at each other, and the woman came out to take the pen and paper. After signing, Blackjack confirmed again, then nodded, and took out the syringe that had been prepared from the box. His actions remained the same. Skilled and quick, the injection was completed in a blink of an eye.

What happened next was a miracle. The old man who was lying on the bed changed his painful expression, and slowly turned his head to smile at the people in the room.Ann could almost hear the people in the room gasping for breath at the same time, and then burst into sobs.After a while, the old man closed his eyes again, and bid farewell to the world as if he fell asleep, without any pain on his face.

It's really euthanasia.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, An really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

A few minutes later, they followed Blackjack out of the hospital in silence.

Ann was still in a delicate mood. This was the first time she saw a life disappear before her eyes. She looked at the back of the person walking in front, and felt vicissitudes.

"Little girl." The person in front suddenly stopped and turned his head, "Go back, don't come looking for me again."

An felt very aggrieved, took two steps forward and hugged the other person's arm, and dragged the person towards the boat without saying a word.

"Hey!" Blackjack was taken aback, and passively followed.

Shanks behind him smiled helplessly and followed behind as usual.

On the surface, Blackjack, who was dragged to the boat, was actually very grateful to Ann in his heart. Although he said nice things, he still wanted to see his son whom he hadn't seen for so many years.

And An couldn't help but lead people onto the boat, and as soon as he stepped on the deck, he let go of his voice and shouted: "Larch——I'm injured!"

Not only Larch, but everyone else on the boat ran out when they heard the sound.

"Where's the injury?" Larch strode out of the cabin and came straight to Ann with a very ugly expression on his face.

Ann stuck out her tongue, pulled Blackjack to him, and showed Larch the wound, "I have already asked this doctor to treat me."

The heartwarming scene of the father-son reunion was completely absent from the pair, and Luckey checked Ann's stitched wound before looking up at Blackjack, who was being pulled in front of him.

"I'm bothering you." Larch's voice was devoid of emotion.

"This girl is really troublesome, but she can't be hated." Blackjack replied.

Larch didn't speak, and looked down at the bag in his hand, "Only this time you did something like a doctor would do, but it's not enough to change my opinion of you, since we met, please go back .”

"Yeah." Blackjack smiled, "I'm relieved that you have such a good partner."

"..." Larch looked away, then turned and walked into the cabin again.

After Blackjack left, Ann finally couldn't help breaking out. She came to the infirmary angrily, pushed the door hard, but saw Larch sitting on a chair and reading a book just like before.

"Larch!" An San stepped forward in two steps, and pulled out the book.

"What's wrong?" Larch looked up at Ann inexplicably.

"It's a lie to say that there is no way to avoid it! You don't deliberately avoid it with your attitude!" An is really angry. She can't see her parents, so she doesn't want her important companions to miss the chance to see her in her lifetime. Opportunity, but the other party has such an attitude.

Larch sighed inaudibly, and said helplessly, "You should have seen what kind of work that person is doing."

An froze for a moment, then replied with some hesitation: "An... euthanasia?"

"Hmm." Larch nodded, put his elbows on the table and propped his cheeks, "How do you feel?"

"...I don't know how to put it. He let the suffering people end their pain. It should be a good thing, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing." An honestly gave her answer.

"A doctor's job is to save people, but his job is to kill people. As a doctor, I can't accept such colleagues."

"But leaving aside your career as a doctor, you are still family!" An said.

She looked at Larch with the expectation of getting a satisfactory answer, but the result was unsatisfactory, because Larch's answer was as she could have expected——

"As a family member, I can't accept a doctor who kills for a living."
