“Olga, are the photos ready?”
“They are ready, but Lord Arceus, will anyone be willing to publish this kind of news?”
Olga had earlier been ordered to take photos, and she had documented the tragic situation in Flevance.
However, knowing the truth, she understood one thing—publishing this news might attract unwanted attention.
“Yes, Morgans won’t let go of such a big story. If he cared about the World Government’s reaction, his newspaper wouldn’t have come this far.”
Morgans’ rise was attributed to two main factors: the abundance of News Coo and the courage to report major events. Initially, reporting on major events was his hobby and a quest for fame, but now it was also a means of survival.
If he lost popularity, the World Government might not resort to assassination but instead issue a straightforward arrest warrant.
With these photos and the truth of the content, Morgans would undoubtedly report extensively, and by then, their objectives will have been achieved.
Especially the royal family of Flevance. As they used to live there, they would inevitably be affected by Amber Lead, and since they are aware of the truth, they will only spend more money to eliminate this hidden trouble.
This operation also had a special codename – “Scamming the Rich.”
“Organize the information and transmit it to Tesoro through Rotom; he will understand what needs to be done. However, there’s no need to rush. Let’s plan things out when we get back. During this time, he can gradually set things in motion. Also, inform your father and others, and have Onigashima make some preparations.”
For example, the treatment report for Amber Lead Syndrome. This Muk treatment wouldn’t be naturally disclosed, so they need to devise something that outsiders can’t comprehend but seems reasonable, creating an air of mystery.
The same applies to medicine. Since there is no miracle cure, the requirement for this medicine was an unknown health product harmless to the human body, and it just happens that Queen has managed to create some new elements using Diancie’s ability, and now was the perfect time to leverage their effectiveness.
Combined with Nightin’s herbal talent to develop some pharmacological knowledge, and using Acier’s knowledge of minerals to explain the problem of Amber Lead, the abilities of these three experts would prove useful.
“Understood, but do we need to record the nun’s treatment process as well?”
“Just take pictures of her face; the treatment process is quite lengthy.”
During the waiting period, people on the ship had their own ways of passing the time. For instance, the ship’s doctor became obsessed with Muk’s treatment method, writing observation reports every day.
Yamato, on the other hand, temporarily took on the role of a fisherman as part of her new training to cultivate patience. Being overly impulsive, she sometimes does irrational things.
Fishing is a significant test of patience. Although the moment of reeling in the fish is joyful, enduring a long period of silence is required for the sake of this brief happiness.
Successfully catching a fish was her goal for today.
“Miss Yamato, this won’t do.”
“Yeah, this isn’t a fishing boat. There are no reefs nearby and fish are already scarce; you need more patience.”
Yamato held two fishing rods in her hands, occasionally lifting them to check. Forget fishing in the sea, even in a fish pond, it seemed doubtful she could catch anything.
On the other hand, Robin was much more relaxed. She was reading a book while her extended arms were fishing. This was her collaboration with Maria, who used the spider’s compound eyes to track the movement of the fishing float, while she controlled the fishing rod.
Both of them could endure silence well, so their gains were much more plentiful than Yamato’s.
But in the end, she succeeded. Just when she was about to lose her temper, a Magikarp gave her face and successfully got caught.
“Remember not to bite a hook in the future, and stay away from the fishing net. Also, remember to evolve early.”
Looking at the Magikarp that marked the end of her painful lesson for the day, Yamato used the Power of Viridian to teach it how to avoid risks, then tossed it back into the sea.
As she concluded her fishing career, the long course of Muk’s treatment finally came to an end. By then, they were already close to the location of East Blue. It could be said that this was a treatment that went on for nearly half of the North Blue.
“Amber Lead content is zero, and the administration of the sedative has been stopped. They should wake up soon.”
Examining the test report in hand, the ship’s doctor made his judgment, and as he predicted, the nun quickly woke up. However, the prolonged sleep left her mind a bit groggy.
“Is this hell? I remember being taken away by an emissary of hell.”
Her last memory was being wrapped in spider silk and carried away on the back of a humanoid spider.
“No, this is a ship. We’ve left Flevance. According to the course, we’re about to reach East Blue. How does your body feel? Any discomfort?”
The doctor inquired about her body’s condition; he still had to write an observation report.
“On the ship. So, those were just dreams, right? Are the children all safe now? Where are they?”
“Just beside you.”
The nun turned to look and saw a girl lying on another sickbed.
“Lami?! Where is her older brother? And the other children?”
At this moment, they learned the girl’s name—Lami, full name Trafalgar D. Water Lami, with the “D” being a hidden name and “Water” being a taboo name. Publicly, she was known as Trafalgar Lami.
She was Trafalgar Law’s biological sister.
“Unfortunately, only you two survived in Flevance, Miss Yamato didn’t find any other survivors. Don’t get too agitated; your body isn’t very healthy right now.”
The nutrient solution has replenished the necessary substances for life, but the nun cannot use Seimei Kikan. It is already a good thing that her muscles have not atrophied after lying down for so long.
Following the ship doctor’s account, she reluctantly accepted the fact she didn’t want to believe – the only survivor from the convent’s children was Lami.
Lami, waking up shortly after, had a different experience. Unlike the nun, she had no recollection of the events before, not even recognizing the nun.
“What’s with her?”
“Amnesia caused by heavy metal poisoning. But frankly speaking, forgetting all that might be a good thing. What do you think?”
After a check-up, the ship’s doctor moved Lami to another room and then spoke to the nun.
“Indeed.”
Recalling everything about Flevance made even the nun shudder. Forgetting those things might indeed be a blessing for Lami.
“Doctor, you are a good person. May the Lord bless you.”
“No, I’m not exactly a good person, and compared to your Lord, I believe more in Lord Arceus. It’s him and Miss Yamato who brought you both back, so don’t forget this favor.”
She had only mentioned the Lord out of habit as a nun, but she was instead reverse proselytized.
