Chapter 219 Dean (1)
Chapter 219 Dean (1)
Medicines, even in peaceful times, are the most profitable commodities. In times of war, the value of medicines can be compared with gold. Many times, even if you have money, you cannot buy medicine.
In the world of One Piece, turmoil and war are commonplace, but there are very few islands that can produce medicines.
In such a world, the value of medicines will increase exponentially. It is estimated that except for a few high-value items such as devil fruits and famous swords, medicines are the most valuable. It can be said that as long as you have medicine in your hand, there is nothing that cannot be replaced with conventional items.
Now, the top management of Detrick Island has the ability to contact the outside world and trade with the outside world with precious medicines. But what was exchanged was only the most basic food, but no other things were traded, and the amount of the transaction was not even too much?
Who are you kidding?
Anyway, Profik didn’t believe it.
The top management of Detrick Island has done too many things.
For example, they can trade medicines for Devil Fruits. Although it is not easy, it is definitely not impossible to change.
With the Devil Fruit, it is possible to cultivate a large number of mid-level and high-level combatants, and it should not be a problem to deal with a witch.
Alternatively, they could use medicines and production capacity as bargaining chips to directly ask the top cadres of the Four Emperors, the naval generals, or even the Four Emperors themselves to help solve the problem.
Just because the Yonko's ordinary officers and lieutenant generals can't deal with the witch doesn't mean that the Yonko and the admiral can't deal with her. If the witch is really that powerful, there is no way this safe zone can last for eight years. Profic believed that as long as the Yonko and the Admiral took action, the witch would definitely be captured. In this way, the people of Detrick Island can live a normal life.
Eight years have passed since the outbreak of the disease, but the island's top officials have not taken any action against the witch.
This confirms Profic's speculation to a certain extent - it is not that Detrick Island cannot be restored, but that the island's senior officials do not want the island to be restored, but just hope to continue to maintain the status quo and maintain their own people at the same time. The life of the Master.
"Mr. Profic," Aiga, who had been leading the team, turned around and said to Profic, "Next, I will take John to see the dean. You can come with us."
"Dean?"
"Well, he is the leader of this safe zone." John said.
Profic nodded. It was reasonable for an island famous for its medical treatment to be called the leader of the island.
"Then what kind of person is this dean?"
Profik was a little curious. According to general understanding, the president should be a highly respected doctor or even a scientist. But this dean obviously also has the responsibility of island manager.
"The dean's name is Masaji Ishii," John's tone revealed genuine respect and admiration when talking about the dean.
When he heard the dean's name, Profik's brows twitched. This name made him think of two "famous" (actually, it should be notorious) figures, and an army full of evil. However, he also knew that the name did not mean anything. How good the dean is depends in the final analysis on his actions.
I just hope that this dean with a weird name has a different character than those two villains.
According to John and Aiga's introduction, Dean Masaji Ishii is the most powerful person on the island and is also a research doctor with superb medical skills. Before the disease broke out, he had been leading the doctors on the island to study and conquer various diseases, and his medical skills were ranked among the best in the entire New World.
The disease brought by the witch broke out on the island, and everyone was at a loss. When the island was facing destruction, it was the dean who led the islanders to establish a safe zone, which to a certain extent curbed the uncontrollable spread of the disease. From this perspective, Dean Ishii is a great benefactor of the island.
However, after entering the safe zone, ordinary people rarely see the dean. Only some colleagues and senior officials could see him.
However, everyone on the island still respects the Dean very much. This is because he is hiding not for enjoyment, but to study medicine to restrain the diseases spread by witches. As long as he can successfully develop it, the residents of the island can leave the safe zone and return to life on the ground.
It can be said that this Ishii Masaji is their hope.
Profik frowned slightly as he walked. John and Aiga's description of Ishii Masaji was different from his imagination. According to his imagination, the leader of the safe zone should be a character similar to the Celestial Dragon. But just listening to the two people's description of the dean, the dean is still very positive, at least he is not an idiot like the Tianlong people.
A dean who has been practicing medicine for decades and has conquered countless diseases can be naive and ignorant of the world, but he will never be stupid. He must even be extremely smart.
But now, the dean has secretly "captive" all the residents and become his slaves, working for him and creating wealth. This is why?
If Masaji Ishii was not seeking pleasure, then he must have other motives for doing this.
Or think about it from another angle, is it possible that the dean has been ousted, and there is actually someone else at the top who controls this safe zone?
However, Profik has just arrived on the island and the information he has learned is not sufficient, so he can only make these speculations for the time being. What the truth is, we can only wait until we meet Ishii Masaji before we can draw a conclusion.
"Go, go, go quickly!" Kamo was silent along the way, and followed a few people to the safe area with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. In his heart, he very much hoped that Profik could see the dean soon, or that the dean could see Profik soon.
This outsider named Profik was really too careless. After learning about the situation on the island, if he turned around and ran away, he might still be able to save a life. But he actually walked into the base carelessly like this.
Do you think that the island is full of ordinary people who lack fighting power, so they are safe?
Kamo had already sentenced Profik to death in his heart.
Although the outsider is strong, what can he do no matter how strong he is? Although Detrick Island is famous for its medical treatment, it is by no means without strong combat capabilities. The adjutant of the safe zone is such a powerful combatant!
Even the terrifying witch on the island can only be on par with the adjutant at best. No matter how powerful this outsider is, there is no way she can be stronger than him.
Hum, just wait, outsider!
I’ll have something nice for you later!
