Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 213 Hazuki Kojiro's Decision

After the military doctors did their best to treat him, Yixiao's whole body was wrapped in bandages.

"Incredible! I never imagined your physique was so strong!!"

After examining Yixiao, a young military doctor spoke up:

"The damage to your internal organs has completely healed on its own, and I've also set all the broken bones for you."

"Given your body's recovery ability, you should be able to get out of bed and move around freely in about a week."

Yi smiled and nodded gently to the young military doctor, "Thank you for your treatment."

The young military doctor, a beautiful blonde girl, immediately raised her head proudly upon receiving Yixiao's praise.

"You're welcome! As the top medic of the Navy's new generation, these are nothing but a piece of cake!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

A mature voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Would you like me to describe in detail how flustered you were when your bones were being set, Mr. Yixiao?!"

"Zeff-sensei!!"

The blonde female doctor stomped her foot in frustration.

"You're so annoying!! Next time you get hurt, I'm definitely not going to treat you!!"

With that, the blonde doctor swayed her slender waist and quickly left the ward.

Zefa, who chased away his student, didn't take her angry words to heart at all.

He then pulled over a stool and sat down next to Yixiao's hospital bed.

He held a newspaper in his hand, staring intently at it with a smile.

"Can you tell me... exactly what happened in the Land of Blue?"

Yi Xiao lay flat on the hospital bed, glanced at the newspaper Zefa was holding, and then began to speak calmly.

"After the meteorite fell, I was engulfed by the shockwave and fell into a coma. When I opened my eyes again, all I saw were you."

After listening to Yixiao's explanation, Zefa frowned slightly.

"So that's what happened..."

He then opened the newspaper in his hand and, in front of Yi Xiao, began to read aloud the most eye-catching headline.

"The Blue Country was destroyed by a meteorite, and the culprit was..."

Zefa paused deliberately, glanced at him, and smiled.

Finding the other person's expression calm, as if they had expected it, I continued reading.

"The culprit is the commander of the Blue Kingdom's army, Yixiao!!"

"It is said that Yixiao, shameless and brazen, launched a preemptive attack on the primeval forest island that had just been jointly developed by the Sand Dune Kingdom and the Victory Kingdom..."

"He smiled and complained that the Blue King hadn't given him enough of a reward after he conquered the island of the primeval forest..."

"So they launched a rebellion."

"He ransacked the Blue Kingdom's palace, ate the Paramecia-type Gravity-Gravity Fruit, and with legendary power summoned a meteor, completely destroying the Blue Kingdom and the allied forces from the Sand Dune Kingdom and the Victory Kingdom that came to its aid..."

Zefa calmly read the contents of the newspaper, and Yixiao listened calmly as well.

However, neither of them spoke after Zefa finished reading.

For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.

a long time.

In the end, it was Yixiao, lying in her hospital bed, who spoke first.

Aren't you going to arrest me?

Zefa folded the newspaper and tossed it onto the bedside table.

"What's in the newspaper isn't the truth, so why should I arrest you?"

"Seeing is believing. As a naval admiral, you wouldn't believe what I just said so easily, would you?"

"Of course!"

Zefa pointed naturally to Yixiao's right hand, which was covered by the blanket.

"Don't you feel something cold and icy on your wrist?"

With a smile and a moment of surprise, I gently moved my wrist and, sure enough, felt a cold ring.

Of course, because the ring was covered with blankets, it wasn't actually too cold.

However, this is enough for Yixiao to understand his current situation.

"Seastone handcuffs?"

Zefa nodded slightly.

"You did not show any signs of weakness, which proves that you are not a Devil Fruit user. In other words, your claim that you summoned a meteor to destroy the Blue Country is definitely a lie."

"Conversely, based on the results, other information in the newspaper is naturally unreliable."

"Of course, what truly made me remain convinced even after seeing the newspaper was this..."

Zefa reached into the fruit basket on the bedside table and pulled out a purple fruit with a spiral pattern.

"A profusion of fruits?!"

Yi Xiao looked at the fruit held aloft by Zefa, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He really didn't expect to see it again so soon!

Zefa held up the fruit in his right hand, seemingly talking to himself, or perhaps explaining to Yixiao:

"Devil Fruits all possess their own will."

"In many cases, it's less that Devil Fruit users acquired the fruit, and more that the fruit chose them!!"

"This fruit suddenly mutated when I brought a fruit basket to visit you."

"This means that not only did you not reap the rewards, but you also most likely eliminated its previous host and gained its favor."

"And this previous host was actually the real culprit who destroyed the Blue Kingdom, right?"

Listening to Zefa's reasoned and well-founded analysis, Yixiao was also deeply impressed.

But in the end, he could only manage a bitter laugh.

"Even if we figure out who the culprit is, so what? The Blue Country has been destroyed, my homeland is gone, and I've already killed the culprit. What's the point of this outcome?"

"No, it still has meaning."

Zefa gently shook his head.

"At least, you won't be thrown into Impel Down while I'm here."

He smiled and remained silent.

This is probably what they call a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Silence fell in the room once again.

a long time.

Zefa spoke up first: "After you recover, what are your goals?"

He smiled calmly and replied, "No."

"Would you be interested in joining the Navy?"

A hint of anticipation appeared on Zefa's face.

"Your strength is quite good. After you recover from your injuries, eat the Multi-Fold Fruit. You will have a great chance to compete for the position of Marine Admiral in the future."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yixiao's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by her composure.

"Joining the Navy... I'll pass on that for now."

"My hometown has just been destroyed. I don't want to do anything right now. Set me free and let me change my mood."

Upon hearing this, Zefa knew that Yixiao was telling the truth, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

He stood up, offered a few words of comfort, told her to take good care of herself, and then turned and left the ward.

Ghost Island.

Time flies.

It's almost the end of December in the blink of an eye.

These days, Kaido, who spends his days either exercising with his wives or supervising his children's exercise, has decided to hold an annual review.

Let's summarize the development of the Beasts Pirates and their territories throughout the year.

Let's also summarize how many contributions the pirates made at the end of this year.

Those who deserve promotion should be promoted, and those who deserve rewards should be rewarded.

These are all essential for a pirate crew to grow and thrive in a stable and healthy manner.
