Haibara ow did not stay long to exchange knowledge with Dr. Kureha. Although there were slight differences, her dical skills essentially ca from the sa lineage as "Doctor 20," both developed upon the original dical philosophy of Drum Island...
Hmm, considering Kureha age, it was even possible that the entire dical system of Drum Island had been established by her.
In any case, their exchange concluded quickly.
After bidding farewell to Kureha and Chopper, Sherwin and the others began, as agreed, to have Haibara ow conduct free dical consultations within the Drum Kingdom.
Originally, Sherwin had planned—based on experience from his previous life—to have the little milk cat compile a pirate-version "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and distribute it to the civilians of Drum Kingdom. That way, at least for so simpler illnesses, they would not need to beg wapol.
However, after learning about wapol "policies," he understood that this would be impossible.
If wapol discovered anyone who knew dical skills and was not under his control, he would choose to kill them... even the quack doctor Hiruluk had been no exception.
This was also why Kureha hid herself away in the forest to live, and why she stopped Chopper from following Sherwin and the others to participate in the free clinic.
Sherwin could not even have Haibara ow leave behind prepared dicines, because afterward they would be forcibly confiscated by wapol...
Mm, once they left, he would imdiately call Kuma. It would be a good opportunity to invite him along to deal with Doflamingo as well.
Even though they had already encountered quite a few inhuman kings along the way, wapol utter lack of virtue still ranked among the very worst.
Because there were simply too many patients within Drum Kingdom, even with Sherwin and the others helping as assistants, the ti Haibara ow spent on the free clinic far exceeded the ti she had spent exchanging dical knowledge earlier...
If wapol had not later taken the initiative to send out "Doctor 20" to help, Sherwin and the others would likely have had to remain in Drum Kingdom for quite a while longer.
As for why wapol sent out "Doctor 20," it was not due to any sudden awakening of conscience. He rely wanted Sherwin, this major nuisance, to leave Drum Kingdom as soon as possible so he could continue to act tyrannically within his country.
What he did not know, however, was that the sooner Sherwin left, the sooner Kuma and the Revolutionary Army would arrive as well.
...
"...That the situation. Once you’ve dealt with the Drum Kingdom, give a call. Then we’ll head to Dressrosa together and take down that bastard Doflamingo!"
The Dodo Advance had only just sailed away from the shores of Drum Island when Sherwin imdiately placed a call to Kuma.
"Wapol of the Drum Kingdom?" Kuma calm voice carried a trace of anger. "Understood... However, Dragon side has been short on manpower recently. It may not be possible to handle the Drum Kingdom situation so quickly."
But then he added, "As for the Heavenly Yaksha, I can head over now to help. The matter of the Drum Kingdom can be left to others. Besides... I haven’t participated in any operations for a long ti. Dragon also thinks this would be better."
So they were trying to separate Kuma from the Revolutionary Army as much as possible and have him conceal his identity? It seed Dragon really had improved.
Still...
Kuma had previously fought on the front lines with the Revolutionary Army quite often. Wouldn’t it be a bit too late to try and hide his identity now?
Then again, perhaps not. In the early days, the Revolutionary Army had basically just been making small disturbances. In the eyes of the World Governnt, they were probably no different from other pirates. By the ti they truly drew serious attention, Kuma had already returned to Sorbet Kingdom to play the role of a doting father.
Since Sherwin was not entirely clear about the Revolutionary Army situation back then, although he had so doubts, he did not say much more. Instead, he added, "Then I’ll call you again when the ti cos... Oh, right. There a guard captain under Wapol nad Dalton. He a decent man. You can try to win him over."
Given the Drum Kingdom strength and Dalton stubborn sense of loyalty, Sherwin was worried that he might still be protecting his king out of blind devotion and end up being killed directly by the Revolutionary Army, who knew nothing of the inside story. As for "Doctor 20," there was no need for special concern. As long as Dragon was not foolish, he would never pass up such a brilliant dical team.
"Don’t worry. We’re experienced with this. We’ll investigate everything clearly beforehand."
After chatting with Kuma for a few more monts, Sherwin did not hand the Den Den Mushi to Klee ow or Bonney like he usually did. Instead, he dialed Trafalgar Law number...
"I’m getting ready to go cause trouble for Doflamingo. Are you coming or not?"
Sherwin went straight to the point.
Trafalgar Law didn’t waste any words either—he sounded even more impatient than Sherwin.
"I’m in! Where are you right now?! Or is Kuma coming to pick up in a bit?"
"Uh... no rush. I’m still in the first half of the Grand Line, not anywhere near Dressrosa yet. I’m just giving you a heads-up. I’ll contact you again when I’m close. Then I’ll have Kuma send you over."
"Tch! I thought you were about to make your move!"
Law clicked his tongue in annoyance, and Den Den Mushi perfectly mirrored that punchable expression on its face.
Sherwin clicked his tongue as well, equally annoyed. "It not like you’d be much help even if you ca. What are you so worked up for?"
"Bastard! Doflamingo is mine! I’ve got plenty of scores to settle with him!"
Feeling belittled, Law instantly flew into a rage.
"As if I don’t have scores to settle with him too..." Sherwin clicked his tongue again, then said in a perfunctory tone, "Yeah, yeah, fine. I’ll let you fight him first. After you lose, I’ll step in. Happy?"
Even two years later when the main story began, Trafalgar Law still couldn’t defeat Doflamingo. Even if he had been influenced by Sherwin and the Felynes, his strength was basically impossible to surpass what it would be at that point. Letting him go first didn’t matter. In the end, it would still be the Hunter who finished things.
"You won’t get that chance!"
Law clearly caught the implication in Sherwin words and continued roaring furiously on the other end of the line.
But Sherwin had no interest in listening to him ramble any longer and decisively hung up the phone.
And then...
He picked up the receiver again and dialed a third number.
"Dear Morgans, I’ve got so big news here. Interested?"
"Hahahahaha! I knew it! You’ve been so quiet lately, Sherwin—you must’ve been holding back sothing huge! So? Who are you planning to cause trouble for this ti?"
Sherwin: "..."
Although Morgans had a deep misunderstanding about him, this ti he had guessed it right by sheer luck, leaving Sherwin with no way to refute it.
"Whew..." After letting out a long breath, the magnanimous Hunter decided not to argue with this Bird and replied, "’Heavenly Yaksha’ Donquixote Doflamingo."
"You... are you planning to give up being a Warlord?!"
Morgans couldn’t help but cry out in shock. "Don’t tell you’ve forgotten who he is? The Heavenly Yaksha isn’t so ordinary Warlord!"
To be honest, Sherwin was sowhat touched. After all, not just anyone could make Morgans willingly set aside a major scoop just to offer a warning.
"Relax. The big news I’m talking about isn’t just taking him down..."
Since Morgans was being so loyal, Sherwin didn’t hide anything and told him about the secrets of Dressrosa as well. That would allow Morgans to prepare in advance and prevent the World Governnt from suppressing the truth when the ti ca.
"This... this is truly earth-shattering news..."
Because Sherwin news was far too shocking, Morgans—who normally loved to shout and make a scene—instead began muttering in a low voice.
Only after a mont did he recover, exclaiming excitedly, "Wait there! I’ll imdiately send soone to deliver Dressrosa Eternal Pose to you! Also, when are you going to make your move? I need to arrange for people to coordinate with you!"
"Oh, it won’t be that soon. I haven’t gone through the Drum Island route yet, and I can conveniently take Shirahoshi back to Fish-Man Island for a visit along the way."
When Morgans heard that Sherwin wasn’t going to act so quickly, he imdiately burst into another round of shouting and sighing, constantly urging Sherwin to hurry on his journey, practically wishing he could fly to Dressrosa tomorrow and turn the place upside down...
Honestly, why is everyone rushing to make a move?
If I told Kuma about what happening in Dressrosa, there’d probably be one more person urging on, wouldn’t there?
As expected, Doflamingo truly deserves death!
