The second quarter was booked by Joba
The Drummer Kingdom is a winter island located on the Great Voyage Route. It's always winter all year round.
On this island, the country of Magnet Drum is a medical powerhouse. The king, Valbo, has the ability to swallow and digest anything, turning it into part of his body or synthesizing new things, and can even eat away at his own body to lose weight.
Shen Bao's goal for this trip to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom was to subdue him and complete his own conjecture.
This damned tyrannical king, muddle-headed and incompetent, often established laws that benefited himself without caring about the people's lives. 30 years later, he created the inhumane "Doctor Hunt" convention with his own hands, causing the originally renowned "Medical Great Nation" of Drum Kingdom to gradually decline. As a result, when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived, there was only one doctor left in the entire country, Dr. Kureha.
Therefore, Shinbao can completely stand on the grounds of justice to punish him. Even the Magadha Kingdom is also a member state of the United Government.
Swallow-Swallow Fruit is one of the top 3 super fruits in terms of potential among all Devil Fruits, unfortunately it was eaten by that trash Buggy. Along with Slow-Slow Fruit and Bomb-Bomb Fruit, they are the three regrets that Shanks will always have in his heart.
There are many advantages of eating pomegranate fruit.
One of them is that it can eat anything and turn it into energy, so Swallowing People will never starve to death.
Secondly, the Swallowing Fruit has the magical ability to turn anything eaten into a part of one's own body. Just imagine if someone with this power were to swallow ancient weapons like the Reaper or the Sea King, how terrifying would that be?
Thirdly, the Swallowing Fruit has the ability to process anything into something new (including humans). Now think about it again, if we let the Thunderbolt Fruit's Ainiel and the Flame-Flame Fruit's Ace combine, wouldn't the resulting fusion, the Superhuman Voltaic, be an invincible existence?
Such an interesting and powerful fruit is really tempting. And Walpurg had already been one of the few who must be subdued by the light of the fruit. However, his power was too weak before, and it was extremely foolish to face the military power of the entire country alone. Later, although he also gathered some excellent subordinates, he never had the time.
But who would have thought that Xian Bao, under the ups and downs of fate, became a naval commander, and now he can even play the role of a hero, leading troops to overthrow this tyrannical king.
"Speaking of which, although I've been a wicked pirate captain, a naval officer, and even dominated the martial arts arena, I've never actually led a rebel army before! The feeling is really something to look forward to! Even thinking about it, my playful heart suddenly arose, and immediately changed the original plan of directly attacking the headquarters to one of first lurking, gathering popular support, then proclaiming the establishment of a rebel army from a high place, and savoring the taste of being a revolutionary leader."
Anyway, now that Luffy has set sail, the true storyline of Pirate King is about to begin, and there are still 37 years left, so Shanks has plenty of time to squander. Moreover, no matter what outrageous demands he makes, his five subordinates will unconditionally execute them without complaint. In this sense, he is more suitable as a tyrant than Varpole.
He first secretly sneaked into the port of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, then disguised himself and entered the villagers' homes to start gathering information. However, the result was a great disappointment to him, as King Walpurgis had just begun his journey on the path to becoming a tyrant, although he also made some arbitrary demands for food from the people at ordinary times, but it did not reach the point of heaven's anger and people's resentment.
Although the people had some complaints, they still chose to trust this king and forgave his youth.
After turning around for a week, Xinbao was quite disappointed. But it wasn't without gain.
First and foremost, he realized the coldness of Dong Island and quickly purchased a large batch of fur clothes for his subordinates. If not for this investigation, rashly attacking the Magnetic Drum Kingdom would have greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the naval soldiers due to the cold.
He then met Dr. Gretel, a 102-year-old woman living on Magnet Drum Island, whom Joba calls "Dorīru-sensei". She is extremely skilled in medicine but charges very high fees. After 37 years, she took in the twice-orphaned Joba as her apprentice after his death in Sylph and taught him medicine.
In Sanji's mind, if he were to rank the excellent doctors, Dr. Kureha would be first, Dr. Hiriluk second (after all, she was able to teach a doctor like Chopper), Dr. Hogback third (a genius-level zombie surgeon), and Chopper fourth (he'd rather think of him as a pet than a doctor).
However, after much consideration, he did not subdue her. Because only 10 people were selected for the mother nest, and 9 of them had already been used up by him, and the doctor was also old, although his strength was still great enough to kick down walls, but it was no longer the peak moment. It's really not worth wasting a precious child position on such a person.
However, fortunately, they had already formed a good relationship. The doctor's face was cold but her heart was warm, and Shao Bao flattered her with all his might in his identity as a naval lieutenant colonel, making him more and more pleasing to the eye. Especially after Shao Bao gave her five bottles of precious wine, she patted her chest and promised Shao Bao that if he really encountered a half-human, half-deer monster like in his dream, she would teach it medicine and cultivate it into a member of Shao Bao's naval team.
As for why Shen Bao believed in the scene in his dream, after Doctor Girl got Shen Bao's explanation that he was a person with the ability to predict the outcome, she didn't doubt it at all.
