99. Start
"Señor, this way please.." said the servant toward Kimimaro, pulling him out from his thought.
Soon, Kimimaro was being escorted out of the castle.
Despite the situations, he still think on how to proceed. At first he was about to check on her condition, alas, he couldn't jump in all of sudden and claimed to be a doctor could he?
Even lesslikely when he saw the King ugly expression, if he were to do that. The King would only see him as lunatic as there was no record of Kimimaro being a doctor on his personal information!
If him being a scientist and engineer, the King could accept it as those were not trully secret. Marineford higher-ups knew about it.
Nonetheless, jumping in when the situations were urgent and claimed to be a doctor? Kimimaro could only swallows his words and be patient. He just hope the Queen could hold on until he manage to produce the solutions.
As he dabled with the poisonous substance for quite long time, Kimimaro had already found the solutions regarding detoxification of Amber Lead, the only problem was how to present it toward the King and Flevance people, without arrousing suspicion.
While he walk passed the garden beside the main gate, he heard several whispered hush from the nearby guards and servants.
"Poor our Queen..."
"Sigh*, did you see her condition? it seems the death mark had almost covered her face!"
"I don't know what happened on this island! Whenever someone were about to die, there will be a death mark on their body, is it a curse?!"
"I hope her majesty...."
"....."
Kimimaro shook his head as he listened to the conversation, Death Mark before death? Curse? That was far from reality, it was a symptoms from Amber Lead heavy exposure. It seems that the Queen had been regularly exposed with Amber Lead.
While Kimimaro stood in silents under the shade of a white tree, he saw a familiar figure of a doctor with glasses being escorted in hurry inside.
Seeing the doctor, Kimimaro seems had a light bulb shone brightly inside his mind!
Kimimaro nodded at himself, then he went toward the hospital first to find out about the slaves conditions, Enel had gone to train the Marines early this morning and Tiana were still on her bed sleeping.
Entering the royal hospital, Kimimaro went to inquire about the slaves conditions to the doctor in charge.
"They should be able to leave after a week señor, for now, we only need to slowly observe their progress, especially their mental health..." Answered the old looking doctor.
"I see, thank you for your hard work doctor." Kimimaro smiled in relief.
The old doctor shook his head as he responded, "..it was our obligation señor, please don't mind it."
After bidding farewell to the doctor, Kimimaro went towards the wards which allocated to them.
When he passed a certain hospital ward, Kimimaro paused on his track and peek inside after he heard children commotions coming from there.
"Damn that pervert brat! Penguin lets go teach him a lesson!" Said one boy wearing a huge baseball cap.
"Hmmpf, look at his face. Does he think no one notice him?" Replied another boy around the same age as the former, like his friend, he was also wearing a rather huge winter hat which covered his ears.
not far from the boy, several children seems standing around a young hot nurse wearing a rather skin tight nurse outfit. The young nurse could be seen taking care of a peculiar looking boy with wide grin and flushed face.
"Sister Dela, i'm fine! Don't worry, i'm a man!" exclaimed the peculiar looking boy, his words seems betrayed his perverted gesture as he took several peek towards the hot nurse cleavage.
The boy had a small buckteeth, he wore a pink colored head cap and two antennae looking hair peeked out of his cap. His body were currently strapped with bandages.
seemingly didn't notice his perverted gaze, the young nurse scolded him gently, "What're you talking about? stop messing around!"
The nurse tighten the boy's bandage and sometimes it couldn't be helped if her proud mounds touching the brat body.
"Ehe, hehehe...Yes sister..."
Kimimaro swore that he never wanted to punch a brat this badly after he saw the boy! Soon, he retained his temper and shook his head.
The children ward was only brief interlude in Kimimaro's inspection, he visited several wards and tried to comunicate with the victims, the result were quite satisfactory.
And the best thing he saw today was when he meet with Brook, the skeleton seems had transformed himself as musical teacher, as not only the slaves, several ordinary people could be seen asking his guidance.
When Kimimaro left, he couldn't help but thinking, what kind of reward he should give to the skeleton, Brook contribution were no mean small. Thanks to his music, the slaves had tremendous improvement in regard to their mental health!
*Bzzzzt....
Enel suddenly appeared besides the gate when Kimimaro left the hospital main entrance,
"Enel? What's wrong?" Seeing his brother waiting on him, Kimimaro called.
"What happened earlier? The royal palace seems in uproar!" Enel asked as he raised his eyebrow.
Kimimaro sighed, "Well, you can listen everything clearly, why ask?"
Clicking his tongue in displeasure, Enel grumbled, "What do you take me for, Stalker? I won't use my ability for those petty things!"
Indeed, Kimimaro knew that Enel rarely used his sharp hearing outside of battle, it seems that he had developed slight trauma after he once listened to their foster parents "Night Activity".
"Haha, don't worry too much, i'm on it..." As if recalling something, Kimimaro asked, "...Anyway, what happened? I know you won't come to me only to ask something like that right?"
Enel nodded and replied, "...HQ just called in secure line. They want to talk to you."
"Now?"
Enel was about to flash away before he heard Kimimaro whispered, "...one more thing, go clean some rats, i want to do something."
"Got it." Enel had some confusion on his tone.
Nonetheless, he still understood the implication behind his brother request.
Then, Enel flashed away leaving sparsk of electricity behind.
*Bzzzzzt.....
Later,
Kimimaro was standing on his Warship. after he received salutes from the crew on guard, he went towards a slightly inconspicuous room adjacent to quarter deck.
Inside, there was a large Den-den Mushi(Snail Phone) sitting on top of the table, from its bright eyes a moving picture were being projected on the wall.
Taking a chair, Kimimaro sit leisurely as he face a projection of a bespectacled muscular man with afro hairdo on the wall.
