Chapter 179 Recovering from Severe Injuries and Illness, Utilizing the Power of Technology
Captain John, another member of the Rocks Pirates and Silver Axe's old buddy, was on his ship watching all this, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Although he is not yet a high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates, he has already secured a place on Beehive Island.
"Hiss!! What terrifying power! That fire rat girl is truly terrifying." John muttered to himself, his eyes filled with apprehension. He had no personal grudge against Brian, but Brian's serious injury did indeed stir up some thoughts he shouldn't have had.
However, Agni's merciless killing intent and terrifying destructive power, as well as the tragic end of Silver Axe, instantly brought him to his senses.
"Brian of the Beasts is still a high-ranking officer. Even though he's seriously injured, his monster girl army is enough to intimidate the entire Beehive Island. We absolutely cannot provoke him!"
Beside John, Wang Zhi, one of the former trio, immediately turned to his crew and ordered them not to approach Brian's territory, and prepared a large amount of Sea King meat as a "friendly" gift for their visit.
"John, did you see that? That fire rat girl is completely insane." Wang Zhi's face was ashen, and he gripped his longsword tightly, his palms sweating profusely.
"I see, Wang Zhi. That Silver Axe is completely finished. Captain Rocks didn't stop Brian's actions this time, which shows he's made his choice; Silver Axe's position is in jeopardy."
"Brian's subordinates are more terrifying than he is," John said, completely abandoning his original plan to visit Brian and gather information.
John and Wang Zhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, and a hint of regret towards the silver axe.
They had originally hoped to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits or find out Brian's secrets, but at this moment they completely gave up on that idea.
They all knew that the monster girls under Brian's command were a group of truly insane monsters, whose loyalty far surpassed that of any member of the Rocks Pirates. To offend Brian was to offend their very core, with unimaginable consequences.
Sunlight pierced through the heavy curtains of Beehive Island Castle, but the light still appeared dim and soft.
Brian's private residence, one of only four luxury villas on the entire island, was now shrouded in an invisible layer of coldness and vigilance. Since his return, severely injured, it had become the quietest, yet most dangerous, place in the entire Rocks Pirates crew.
The air was thick with the smells of herbs and disinfectant; the clone maids were conducting a precise treatment.
Evidence supporting the treatment.
Brian lay flat on a medical bed made of high-tech materials, his body connected to various sophisticated instruments and tubes.
Although his physical body was already beyond reason, the fierce battle with Roger on Skypiea almost exhausted all his life essence and Devil Fruit power, forcing him to rely on technology to accelerate his healing.
Fortunately, the world has a high level of technology, and his own level of technology is also quite advanced.
Beside him, a team of neatly dressed, expressionless maids meticulously operated the equipment. They all looked identical, their eyes devoid of any emotion, yet their efficiency was astonishing.
They are the clone maids under Brian Mo's command, a top-notch medical and maintenance team that has been carefully cultivated over the years.
Their presence ensured that Brian received the best treatment in the shortest amount of time and minimized his contact with the outside world.
"My lord, today the life activity index has increased by 3.5 percent, and the core strength pulse is stable. It is expected that we can get rid of the life support device within ten days." The head maid reported in a flat, electronic voice, her fingers quickly sliding across the touch screen, adjusting the nutritional ratio of the infusion.
Brian opened his eyes slightly. His voice was still weak, but it was much better than when he first returned.
"Got it, keep it up."
He stared at the ceiling, yet felt a profound sense of peace.
For him, the severe injury wasn't the end of the world, but rather a process of reflection and accumulating experience. Roger's strength made him realize that he was still far from being among the world's top fighters. This gap needed to be bridged with time, resources, and even more extreme pressure.
However, this calm did not last long.
"Hiss—! Get away! You emotionless robots! Don't touch my master!"
A roar carrying the aura of burning flames instantly shattered the tranquility of the room.
The hellhound girl, Boros, was currently squatting on a large soft cushion beside Brian's bed, her eyes as bright as burning embers, filled with vigilance and hostility.
A maid who tried to wipe the sweat from Brian's forehead was instantly driven back by the intense heat emanating from Boros. Boros's tail was raised high, like a cannon ready to unleash flames at any moment.
The clone head maid stopped what she was doing, but her tone remained calm: "Lord Beros, we are performing a body maintenance procedure on our master. High heat radiation can affect precision instruments, please keep your distance."
"Bullshit! My lord doesn't need you cold-blooded creatures! All the care for my lord must be done by me, Peros! You only need to do your maintenance work!" Peros suddenly stood up, the flames around his body almost engulfing the entire room.
This marks the thirteenth time during Brian's recovery that Boros has clashed with the maids.
In her view, these cold-blooded clones could not possibly understand Brian's pain and dignity. Only she, as the closest monster girl, was qualified to approach and care for her master. This could be considered a special stress response of Boros as a monster girl.
Brian sighed and helplessly raised his hand: "Berlos, step back. Their medical skills are beyond your reach. Don't worry, they won't hurt me."
Upon hearing Brian's voice, Boros reluctantly extinguished the flames, but his eyes remained fixed on the clone maids, as if any movement from them would instantly incinerate them.
Brian smiled inwardly; this fervent loyalty was his greatest source of confidence.
Besides Peros, the other monster girls under him were also almost always by his side, guarding this place.
The centaur girl Leona has been staying atop the highest fortress of the villa these past few days, her longbow rarely lowered, her eyes fixed on anyone who dares to approach or spy on the place.
The Fire Rat Girl Agni sits in the center, leading the other monster girls in a rotating defense. Whether in the air or on the ground, even birds of prey approaching are eliminated immediately.
This situation caused most of the pirates on Beehive Island to panic, and they dared not casually step into the territory of this villa.
