Youta couldn't help but curl his lips. This medical student could even make himself seriously ill, obviously not very reliable.
But... being unreliable is good, right? If he's unreliable, doesn't it just show off his abilities? By then, he'll naturally be able to join Ace's crew!
As the son of the Pirate King, Ace's physical potential far surpasses Youta's, and with his bold personality, once they get acquainted, Youta is confident he'll have the opportunity to analyze his body's mysteries.
Moreover, he's the typical adventurous pirate, much stronger than those pirates who just rob and plunder.
Not to mention, in the future, Ace's Spade Pirates will be merged into Whitebeard's Pirate Crew, and on Whitebeard's ship, there's the tempting Blackbeard!
Blackbeard, with his monstrous body capable of consuming two Devil Fruits, is highly enticing to Youta!
Thinking of this, Youta smiled faintly. "I see. But if you need a doctor, there's no need to bother; I am a doctor."
"Really?" Ace's face lit up with surprise at Youta's words. "The Drum Kingdom truly deserves its reputation as a legendary medical nation; even a young man like you is a doctor."
No, I think you have some misunderstandings about Drum Kingdom. Youta's eyes twitched slightly.
This is like when Bruce Lee's movies became famous, and all foreigners thought Chinese people knew kung fu. I didn't expect such labeling behavior in the world of One Piece.
"How could someone you randomly meet be a doctor? Youta is a very famous doctor in Drum Kingdom." Chopper, standing behind Youta, couldn't help but interject loudly.
"Huh!! It's a tanuki, a talking tanuki!" Ace exclaimed in surprise.
"Damn it, I'm clearly a reindeer! What tanuki? I'm definitely not a tanuki!" Chopper suddenly became angry, showing a ferocious appearance, and said to Ace.
"A reindeer?" Ace tilted his head. "I don't believe it, clearly, you're a tanuki!"
"It's a reindeer!" Angry, Chopper pounced forward and tussled with Ace.
Youta curled his lips again, looking at the Vice Captain who seemed to have been completely forgotten by Ace, feeling really sorry for him. He truly lived up to his name as a 'lost cause', being completely ignored by others.
Thinking of this, Youta casually flipped over the Vice Captain's body and found a slightly rotten wound on his back.
"Darn it! I thought it was just a normal illness, but it turned out to be inflammation caused by an infected wound."
"How can someone who can't even handle this kind of injury be a doctor?"
Youta complained casually for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the Vice Captain.
Over there, Ace, who was playing with Chopper, suddenly shouted, tossing Chopper aside and rushing over.
"What did you do to Deuce?"
Ace, with an anxious face, grabbed Youta's mouth, forcibly opening it wide and sticking his head inside.
Then, he was flung out by Deuce, who was vomited out by Youta.
"What? What's going on? Deuce, are you okay?" Ace, who was dizzy, said a few words, then saw Deuce open his eyes.
"I'm so thirsty. Huh, what's going on? Where am I?"
"Deuce, you're awake!" Seeing his companion awake, Ace's face was full of joy. Not only that, Ace also found that Deuce's high fever had already gone down, and even the wound on his back had completely disappeared, leaving only a small scar.
"What's going on? Oh, I remember, it seems that it was because of inflammation from the wound that I had been having a high fever. Now it's already recovered? How long have I been unconscious?" Deuce said somewhat bewilderedly, feeling around his back and finding only a small scar left on it.
"Your injury has been healed by me. The inflammation has also recovered." Youta spat a few times. Actually, swallowing a person didn't feel disgusting at all. Youta just felt a bit uncomfortable psychologically.
The combination of Devil Fruit modification and Youta's medical skills made it easy to treat external injuries and inflammations, but the treatment method seemed a bit horrifying.
Ace, on the other hand, had a shocked expression, touching Deuce all over, and finally, when his companion, who was annoyed by him, pushed him aside, Ace hit him with a slap.
"Everything's healed so quickly? What Devil Fruit ability is this?" Ace, with stars in his eyes, ran over to Youta and asked in amazement.
Just now, Youta's actions startled him, but now that he had regained his senses, Ace naturally understood that this must be some Devil Fruit ability he had never seen before.
"This is the Supa Supa no Mi ability, which belongs to the Paramecia type. With the Supa Supa no Mi, I can modify anything I swallow, including the human body."
"So powerful! Does that mean no matter what injury or illness you receive, as long as you swallow it and spit it out, it will all be healed?" Ace said in astonishment.
"How is that possible? Only the diseases that I can cure myself can be directly treated by swallowing them. It just saves time for treatment and recovery." Youta shook his head directly, saying.
Of course, what Youta didn't say was that if it was an injury, as long as the body's organs weren't damaged, even if it was split in half by someone, as long as it was swallowed by Youta before dying, it could still recover normally.
But if, like in the original work, Ace's entire heart was destroyed, then Youta couldn't heal it, after all, the Supa Supa no Mi only modified and sewed up, but couldn't create something out of nothing.
"That's still very powerful." Ace's eyes were shining with admiration. "Are you willing to join our crew as the ship's doctor? Deuce, that idiot, can only wrap gauze and disinfect wounds, or tell you to drink hot water. It's really unreliable."
As soon as Ace finished speaking, Deuce, who had just recovered, immediately lowered his head and ran to the side to draw circles. As he drew, he muttered to himself, "I'm just a medical student." "I was forcibly invited onto the ship back then."
But now Ace didn't pay attention to him. He continued to talk incessantly. In his heart, he thought, he had to deceive someone reliable to join the ship. He was fed up with the level of his own crew members.
"Although our Spade Pirates have just entered the Grand Line, but..."
"Okay, I agree." Youta smiled and said.
"Wait until later when things develop well... Huh? You agreed!" Ace was still speaking, but suddenly realized that Youta had already agreed.
