APJ Chapter 229 Audino and Comfey

They were also celebrating, but the fireworks in the sky above Onigashima were much more splendid than those in Wano Country. This was because most of the fireworks craftsmen were lured by higher profits on Onigashima to create exclusive fireworks for them.

Due to hundreds of years of isolation from the outside world, fireworks-making has become an inherited craft. When a large number of fireworks craftsmen were attracted to Onigashima, there were naturally fewer left in the mainland of Wano Country.

As the most important festival in Wano Country, it lost to Onigashima in terms of liveliness.

Several consecutive days of revelry left many pirates completely drunk, and a new plan was proposed.

In addition to the newly conquered territories and casualties, there were many wounded among those who returned this time. Although Beasts Pirates have top-notch doctors who are versed in Western and Eastern medicine, they have always lacked a systematic medical institution.

Furthermore, since the Beasts Pirates have been developing in Wano Country for some time, a large number of Pokémon have appeared within Wano Country. They’re not Arceus, so Pokémon can also get sick.

So, a general hospital appeared in the Hakumai region. As for why it wasn’t established on Onigashima, there is a reason for it.

Onigashima is Kaido’s territory, and currently, no one dares to cause trouble here, so the probability of incidents occurring on Onigashima is extremely low.

A large number of Pokémon live in the mainland of Wano Country, and the only safe entrance is in Hakumai. If someone outside gets injured, they will most likely arrive there first.

Moreover, this hospital also has the purpose of winning the hearts of the people. Onigashima has top-notch doctors, but lacks management, while Wano Country lacks doctors.

During the isolation from the outside world, anything that requires learning was considered a secret. Shogun and daimyos have access to abundant medical resources, but ordinary people do not.

The consultation fees of those renowned medical families are very high, and they mainly serve the nobility. They rarely take care of ordinary people as they cannot afford their fees.

Nightin’s tea stall takes on a certain role in providing medical assistance to the common people. She cannot be considered a professional doctor, but she possesses some knowledge of herbal medicine.

But there are certain illnesses that herbal medicine can’t solve, such as surgery, which is currently a fantasy in Wano Country.

So, ordinary people can’t afford to get sick. If they do, and the doctor they find is not skilled enough, it’s a common occurrence for people to die. Not to mention the presence of swindlers pretending to be traveling doctors.

Despite Wano Country’s isolation, its population exceeds a million, and the six regions within the country are not closely interconnected, and there is no shortage of wandering swindlers.

At times like these, the appearance of a medical institution is enough to change the lives of most people. However, it’s not free, as free medical care is only for the members of the Beasts Pirates and can also serve as an internal benefit for Kojiro’s trading guild.

But for ordinary citizens, fees are inevitable, and affordable prices are already the limit.

“Hmm, Lord Arceus, Kojiro has found a good location in Hakumai, but we’re a bit short on manpower. Although we have transferred dozens of people from other territories, it’s not enough to sustain the hospital’s operations.”

“Nightin and I have our own things to take care of, so it’s not possible for us to be in charge of the hospital.”

Queen, the finest surgeon on Onigashima, was currently reporting on the progress of the hospital.

Doctors have always been a scarce resource on the sea. Whether it’s pirates or Marines, they cannot avoid life-or-death battles. Even if they don’t fight, there are various complex ailments, making exceptional doctors akin to a second chance at life.

Within the Beasts Pirates’ territory, there are naturally doctors present, but they have to handle medical affairs on the main island, and some of them dislike working in other areas. That’s why only dozens of them could be transferred.

“For nurses and such, have Kojiro recruit locally in Wano Country and gradually gather some local doctors from various regions. With these dozens of people as leaders, it should be sufficient.”

Considering the situation in Wano Country, training the local unlicensed doctors should be enough to deal with the circumstances here.

“There’s another issue, Lord Sacred Beast. No one has an understanding of the reasons behind the illnesses in the Pokémon you have created. How should we handle them?”

Even veterinarians couldn’t understand the causes of Pokémon getting sick, so for now, the issue of Pokémon falling ill can only be resolved by Arceus.

It’s unlikely that Pokémon knowledge can be popularized in the short term, so Arceus came up with a different approach.

“Don’t worry about that. They also have their own doctors, and they can even assist human doctors.”

“Audinnno~”

“Comfeyyyy~”

“Chanseeeey~”

“These will be the partners of the doctors in the future. Let the doctors get familiar with them. Pokémon-related issues can be entrusted to them, and the same goes for humans.”

For similar problems, Arceus had long been prepared. Twenty of each species, sixty new Pokémon, emerged from behind him.

“This is…Chansey that is next to Miss Yamato?”

Shayna recognized Chansey, but there were also several new Pokémon besides Chansey.

“These are Audino, they are well-suited to be assistants to doctors.”

“Audinooo!”

Audino, a Normal-type Pokémon, has replaced Chansey and Blissey in some regions as the new assistant in Pokémon centers.

Compared to the egg-like appearance, they have a more three-dimensional figure. They resemble strange humanoid creatures with fluffy white tails.

Their bodies are predominantly pink and beige, with sky-blue eyes. They have ears on either side of their heads, curved like waves.

These long ears are their primary means of assisting in healing activities.

Their ears possess exceptional sensory perception at their tips, functioning like radars. If they wish, they can even hear the sound of small pebbles rolling two kilometers away.

They use their ears as a stethoscope and can assess the physical condition and emotions of others through their heartbeat.

Naturally kind-hearted, they make great partners for doctors.

“These flying ones are Comfey. Although they can’t diagnose others’ conditions like Audino, they have their own advantages.”

“Comfeyyyy~”

Comfey, a Fairy-type Pokémon.

Comfey’s main body is not very large; it looks like a flying fruit with an elegant hairstyle. Its main color is light green, but they appear a bit restless.

“Didn’t I ask you to prepare flowers? Bring them over.”

“Yes! Everyone, bring the stuff in!”

Queen shouted to the outside, and a group of pirates holding flower pots walked in. They were ordered to pick flowers early this morning, although they didn’t know why, they followed the orders.

Now, various wildflowers were being brought back by them.

“Comfeyyyy~ Comfeyyy~”

Comfey happily flew to the flower pots and began plucking flowers. Soon, each Comfey had a floral wreath in its hands. It’s their nature.
