One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 372 Method

"It's a pity. I've been practicing medicine for half my life, but I've never seen such a serious disease. This disease is too serious, and I really can't cure it." An old man with gray hair shook his head helplessly and said with great self-blame, "I believed in slander before and mistakenly thought that the lead disease was an infectious disease and didn't dare to treat it. Now I can't do anything about it. It seems that this doctor is unqualified!"

"It's okay. This is not your fault." Profick shook his head. "Please go back and rest first. The compensation promised before is still valid."

"Haha," the old man stood up and said goodbye, looking up to the sky and sighing, "Since I can't save lives, how can I have the face to accept the so-called reward? I will leave Frevans today, and don't mind me when I go to the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

It is only natural to make money by curing illnesses. This old man is not a self-righteous person. In fact, he is quite confident in his medical skills. This time he came to Frevans to a large extent for the reward of curing the lead disease.

In his opinion, if he could cure the amber disease, he would dare to move not only a treasure, but also the entire palace of Frevans.

But now he came with great confidence, but left in disgrace.

He was not so shameless as to ask for payment instead of curing the disease.

"Take Doctor Hua back and don't be negligent." Profik instructed the guards on both sides.

The doctor may not ask for payment, but Profek cannot refuse to pay.

Although the newspapers have claimed that Perkins disease is not an infectious disease, people's fear of Perkins disease is not so easy to subside. Many people still keep a distance from Perkins disease and Frevans with the attitude of "better to believe it than not to believe it". Profick also expressed his understanding of these doctors. After all, doctors are also human beings and they will feel fear when facing the unknown.

The reason why so many doctors came to Frevans this time, in addition to the doctors from Detrick Island in the New World, was that Proficient offered a high reward, using the "property" of the Frevans royal family as a reward, for doctors who could cure Perkins disease.

As long as you respond to the call and come to the Kingdom of Frefans for investigation and treatment, you can choose a valuable treasure from the warehouse as a reward regardless of success or failure. Once you can cure the lead disease, you can make a request to Profique or get a "favor" from Profique.

With the huge reward, doctors from all over the world began to gather in Frevans. Of course, there were some unqualified doctors, but there were also many truly capable doctors. Dr. Hua was one of them. His family had been practicing medicine for generations, and he had exquisite medical skills, especially good at surgical treatment. However, Perkin-Lead Disease was a poisoning disease, and Dr. Hua was in an unfamiliar field and was at a loss.

But unfortunately, none of these doctors has come up with an effective treatment plan for PerkinElmer disease so far.

Not long after the old man left the room, a graceful young woman wearing a white slim nurse uniform and white over-the-knee leather boots walked in, smiled, and sat opposite Profick.

"Ms. Nightingale, have you found a cure for Perkins disease?"

This Ms. Nightingale was a well-known doctor and medical scientist in Beihai. She had proposed many new medical concepts, especially in nursing. However, her ability in treatment was relatively limited. Profek was a little surprised to see her find him. She was not the kind of person who would give up halfway.

Nightingale shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I have an idea for treatment. I previously worked with Dr. Trafalgar on this and have a better understanding of Perkin-Lead Disease."

"Amber-lead enters the human body through the skin, lungs and digestive tract. The human body does not have the ability to metabolize amber-lead. Therefore, amber-lead will continue to accumulate in cells and diffuse from higher concentrations to lower concentrations, and even enter the blood and spread throughout the body."

"If it was just enriched in the human body, the situation would not be so serious. But the problem is that according to my research, amber lead will also combine with cells and 'receptors' in the human body, causing the loss of cell activity and normal function, causing great pain to the human body. The white color that appears on the patient's skin and hair is the result of this combination."

Nightingale's words stunned Profick. Has this guy's knowledge of biology reached this point? Diffusion, binding, "receptors", enrichment, loss of activity, if he remembered correctly, even in his previous life, not everyone could understand these things.

Could this also be a time traveler?

Profek's eyes turned "strange" when he looked at Nightingale.

Nightingale rolled her eyes: "Hey, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Nightingale, please continue."

"In theory, the symptoms caused by amber-lead poisoning can be cured without treatment by simply excreting the amber-lead absorbed by the human body."

"But the problem is how to remove the amber and lead from the body. Yesterday, a patient was dying and wanted to seek medical treatment no matter what. Mr. Hua performed surgery on him, trying to remove the lesion from the patient's body, but the amber and lead were too tightly integrated with human tissues, even penetrating into every cell, resulting in the failure of the operation. Even Mr. Hua was in such a state, so surgery is definitely not an option."

No, it’s not that it cannot be removed at all, Prophik thought to himself, he could use the surgery fruit to remove the amber in the body.

But the problem is, if there really was a surgery fruit, there would be no need to offer huge rewards to so many doctors.

"My current idea is to neutralize the amber and lead in the body through drugs, or replace the tissue cells throughout the body..." As if she saw that Profek was a little distracted, she raised her voice, "Also, I heard that there is an item called Devil Fruit that can give people incredible abilities. Maybe it can help."

"That's all I can say." After saying that, Nightingale stood up and left the room.

Profick fell into deep thought. According to Nightingale, it was almost impossible to cure Perkin Elliot's disease with ordinary medical means. The most likely method was to use the power of the devil fruit.

As he pondered, Profik suddenly had an idea and thought of a special person in his mind.

If it were him, there would be a chance that he would meet all the conditions mentioned by Nightingale.

Profik immediately took out the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number again.
