One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

The old man was very happy.

"Hello, do you know where the 'witch' lives?"

This is the tenth time that Bardock and his friends have asked this question.

"'Witch'? What 'witch'? There is no 'witch'. I have never heard of it. Okay, don't disturb me on my way."

The passerby left in a hurry, leaving Bardock speechless. He didn't expect that what he thought was the easiest thing would encounter a problem at the beginning.

"Bardock, maybe the 'witch' is low-key. We can ask the doctor here. Didn't you say that the 'witch' is a very powerful doctor? The passerby doesn't know, but the doctor must know."

Seeing this, Robin felt that it would be useless to continue asking passersby, and it would be more likely to get information from his colleagues.

"How could a passerby not know? Riding a reindeer-drawn sleigh on a moonlit night, descending from the sky. Living with strange creatures. Wait, reindeer, monsters..."

Bardock slapped his forehead, his memory was confused. The witch was called after Chopper followed her to study medicine. Now he should find Dr. Kuleha.

Sure enough, with the correct name, Bardock quickly found out where she lived. It was near the northern city of Kesda, and the house looked like a big tree.

"Do you want to go together? A nearly 130-year-old female doctor. Maybe you can ask about the secret of longevity." Bardock said with a smile.

"This is probably difficult! With such a long life, even if she tells us, we may not be able to do it."

Robin shook her head rationally, "I'd better continue to help you find the blue-nosed reindeer."

"It's too cold here, I'd better go back to the ship. Bardock, you are going to other cities, I'm afraid you can't use your observation Haki to observe our ship, I'll go back to guard the ship."

Perona is very uncomfortable with the climate of Drum Island. It feels like the breath she exhales is about to freeze, which is far less comfortable than curling up in a warm bed.

"Captain, I want to go with you to see it."

It was Leo who said this, Bardock nodded, "Okay, then Mansherry can come too, Dr. Kuleha's medical skills are very advanced, you can go to learn from him."

Finally, Daz Bonis and Cai said that they were all right and they would follow the arrangement.

"Bonis, you and Cai stay here to take care of Robin and Perona, don't let them get into danger."

After making arrangements, Bardock rode a sled pulled by a horned sheep and rushed to Kesda.

On the outskirts of Kesda, in front of a house in the shape of a big tree, Bardock knocked on the door.

The sound of footsteps came, and the door opened, revealing the face that Bardock remembered.

"Hello, Dr. Kuleha, I'm Bardock from the West Sea. I'm sorry for coming to visit you."

Bardock said, handing over the plum wine he bought when he came here.

Dr. Kuleha took the plum wine and looked at it, "Hehehehe, are you here to ask me the secret of eternal youth?"

"Uh, can I tell you? To be honest, I'm quite interested. Some time ago, I met two giant friends whose lifespans are three times that of humans. I'm curious about how many years humans can live at most."

Bardock's purpose is not the secret of eternal youth, but it doesn't stop him from asking.

"Please tell me the method. I hope my grandma can live longer."

Leo also asked. It turned out that he was asking for his grandma.

"Oh, you are a friend of the giants and a companion of the dwarves. You are not simple, young man. In fact, the secret of eternal youth is very simple, that is, to have superb medical skills like me, or to have a doctor like me to help you recuperate at any time, hehehehe."

Kureha laughed as she spoke. It has been a while since anyone asked her about her secret, and today she met him again.

Bardock shrugged. These doctors with superb medical skills seemed to have some bad tastes, Kurokas was like this, and Kureha was the same.

"Dr. Kureha, are you interested in the panacea?"

Bardock handed her a dandelion.

Dr. Kuleha took it carelessly at first, but then he became serious, "This thing should be the product of the devil fruit ability, right?"

"Senior, you have a sharp eye. This is indeed made by a devil fruit ability user. It has incredible healing ability. I would like to ask you, can this thing be made by medicine or science?"

If this dandelion can be imitated, Bardock will strictly control the source. Otherwise, it will flow into the hands of the World Government. Vegapunk will definitely study this thing.

West's top candidate, it is possible that he can copy it.

If this kind of thing cannot be copied, Bardock can be bolder and exchange it for some hard-to-get resources.

"It's hard to say about the scientific aspect. It's almost impossible to do it with medical skills alone. Or it's hard to do it with current medical skills."

"Now the research and development of drugs will only do the best for the corresponding symptoms. If a drug wants to cure all diseases, then it must not cure the disease, but solve the problem at the root."

Dr. Kuleha took a last look and threw the dandelion back to Bardock.

Bardock took it and didn't put it away. "I will use this dandelion as a reward. How about you study more forms of animal-type devil fruits?"

"Huh? I can't study it. I'm not a devil fruit user. Unless you find an animal-type user for me to study, but I'm not interested in this."

Kureha still refused.

"In that case, please give my partner some pointers and let her know how to improve her medical skills to the top of the ocean. The reward is still this dandelion that can heal everything."

Bardock didn't believe that this dandelion would not be given away.

"Her? She looks like a good doctor. Do you know what a good doctor needs?"

Dr. Kuleha looked at Mansherry and asked her.

"A kind heart to cure diseases and save lives, rich knowledge, and superb medical skills."

Mansherry thought for a while and said, these are the words in Kulokas's notes, Mansherry wrote them down.

"Let her stay with me for three days, and you come to pick her up after three days. I will teach her how to become an excellent doctor."

Mansherry's answer satisfied Dr. Kuleha, and this was also her opinion.

"No problem, I'll let Leo stay too, he can help you run errands."

Although Bardock was relieved about Dr. Kuleha, Mansherry had to be kept safe when she was out. Leo was Mansherry's amulet, and no one on Drum Island could bypass Leo and hurt Mansherry.

"Whatever you want, okay, you can go now."

Bardock left some dandelions, explained to Leo and Mansherry, and went back. He wanted to see if Chopper had been found.
