"Fell asleep!"
Nako looked at the patient who had fallen asleep peacefully, eyes wide open, with an expression of disbelief.
The patient who had just been on the verge of death, only through Jotaro's hands, had his condition rapidly improve, and now was already out of danger.
This kind of medical technique can simply be called a miracle.
Nako looked at Jotaro's eyes incomparably fiery, nearly worshipful, wishing to immediately kneel down and acknowledge him as master.
After dealing with this patient, Jotaro's gaze swept over the dozens of people inside, lightly urging, "Still, let me look at the next patient."
The remaining dozens of people, he simply observed a bit, most were serious external injuries.
These only required using ripple to stabilize their injuries, the difficulty was much less than that previous person.
Nojiko's beautiful eyes stared blankly at him, and reminded, "Your own injury..."
Jotaro heard this, slightly turned his eyes, only then noticed the knife wounds on his own body that had split open.
Using Stand to perform fine operations at the same time, his spirit was tense, and the qi and blood in his body also circulated rapidly.
Originally closed wounds were once again forced open by the rising qi and blood.
No way around it, the energy and blood in his body was just too abundant.
Not exaggerating to say, as long as he slightly got angry, now his whole body would bleed like a pillar.
Towards his own injuries, Jotaro didn't care too much, but instead focused on the remaining patients.
Although the remaining patients were all external injuries, the treatment difficulty was much less, but Jotaro would not relax because of this.
"Blood… the blood has stopped!"
"My wound already doesn't hurt!"
"Heavens, this is too miraculous!"
In an extremely short time, the dozens of patients had basically all gotten out of danger.
The patients excitedly shouted, expressions full of joy.
Nako was dumbfounded watching, muttering nonstop.
Nojiko saw the scene in front of her, the gloom between her brows finally cleared away, wiped the corner of her eye, and cried from joy.
"Sigh!" Genzo sighed, behind the happy face was a bit of entanglement.
Nojiko asked puzzled, "Genzo, what's wrong with you? The townspeople of Gosa Town being safe and sound, we should be happy. Why are you still sighing here?"
Genzo smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy, it's just… Nojiko, don't forget our current situation."
"This kind of divine and miraculous treatment method, the fee charged must be very expensive, right?"
"I'm thinking, later where should we go to raise money."
Nojiko suddenly realized.
"So you were worried about this..." She patted Genzo's shoulder, blinked her eyes and joked, "Don't worry, I can use my body to repay."
Genzo heard this, face flushed red, angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you saying!"
Nojiko playfully stuck out her tongue. "I was just joking."
She looked at Jotaro's majestic back like a mountain, in a daze said, "I think he does these things, probably not for money, just out of his own sense of justice."
This was not her illusion, but she felt a person who helps others for external interests could never be so invested like Jotaro.
Thinking of Jotaro's focused profile when using ripple to treat the patients, Nojiko's pretty face couldn't help but slightly blush.
Her words made Genzo stunned, he did not refute.
Reminded by Nojiko, he also suddenly had that kind of feeling.
Adjusting the hat with windmill stuck in it, Genzo faintly smiled and said, "That's right, there are such people on the sea too."
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of Gosa Town's refugees being out of danger, outside this hidden cave came a group of uninvited guests.
"Minister, based on that brat's footwork estimation, he should be nearby." The fishman reported.
Salt-grill said with a dark face, "But we've already searched around here, didn't find the guy you mentioned."
"This…" The fishman's expression became a bit awkward.
He suddenly looked towards a not-far-off pitch-black cave.
"Minister, we indeed searched the surroundings, but still overlooked one place." He pointed to the cave and said, "It's there!"
Salt-grill looked over, suspiciously said, "Strange, how did an extra cave entrance appear here? When we first came to this island, I remember there was none here… could it be these damned Cocoa West Village people secretly dug it behind our backs?"
Thinking this through, he immediately waved his hand, "Go, let's go in and take a look."
———
The heavy footsteps alarmed the wounded outside the stone chamber, they raised their heads and looked toward the doorway.
"Why are people coming again?"
Before seeing the person, the candlelight swaying on the stone wall already cast out one shadow after another.
Sharp teeth, and raised fish fins.
"Fishmen!!"
The wounded looked at the shadows gradually approaching, pupils dilated, full of fear.
"Not good! Fishmen… uh…"
Before the words were finished, the throat was firmly choked by a thick big hand.
Salt-grill bared his teeth, cold eyes swept over these refugees of Gosa Town.
"This place really has something hidden! Someone dares to take in these traitors behind our backs!"
He sternly shouted to his companions, "Smash this place for me!"
The fishmen showed terrifying smiles on their faces, after Salt-grill gave the order, punched again and again at the surroundings, causing massive destruction inside the stone chamber.
The refugees had no room to resist, even slightly affected would leave no whole body.
Compared to ordinary humans, the fishmen's physique was monstrously strong.
This was completely a one-sided massacre.
Booming sounds, cries for help, wails all intertwined, even the innermost people of the stone chamber heard the sounds outside.
The noisy sound made Jotaro's long eyebrows slightly wrinkle.
"What's going on?"
In the mix of sounds, Nojiko recognized the laugh she was most familiar with, her face instantly turned pale.
"Fish… fishmen!"
Genzo's expression also suddenly changed in shock, "Nojiko, you didn't mishear?"
Nojiko woodenly nodded, "Can't be wrong, this is the laughter of those fishmen! This place has already been discovered by the fishmen!"
Genzo's body stumbled, his breathing even became heavy.
"Done… for… We finally managed to save these people, how could this happen…"
Because Gosa Town couldn't pay the protection fee, the whole town decided to fight to the death, gathered strength to overthrow Arlong's rule.
In the fishmen's eyes, these people were all traitors, and there was only one end, that was death.
Discovering the remnants of Gosa Town, no need to even think, the fishmen would definitely wipe them all out.
Nako asked in panic, "Genzo, what should we do?"
Genzo gritted his teeth, blood even spilled from his lips.
Fighting against the fishmen, they absolutely had no chance of winning, now the only option was to escape with the refugees, this was the helplessness of the weak.
"When the cave was first dug, we left an emergency passage in the rear. Before the fishmen discover the inner side of the stone chamber, we must hurry and lead the refugees to escape!"
Nojiko's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
The refugees all had injuries, compared to the agile fishmen, the chances of escaping were very small.
Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly found that the tall black-clothed man beside her had already disappeared.
