47 Chapter 47: The Whitebeard Pirates, A Family

Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief after painstakingly wiping the blood off her hands.

 She found herself drenched in cold sweat.

 As if she had just been fished out of the water.

 This is one of the reasons why she is reluctant to participate in ninja affairs.

 Hemophobia, severe enough to evoke her greatest inner fear, makes it impossible for Tsunade to fight like a ninja anymore.

 Even more unable to personally treat ninjas.

 Every time she treats someone, she can only close her eyes and direct her disciple, allowing Shizune to perform the surgery.

 Today is no different.

 But when she looked forward, she found that the ground in front of her was soaked red with blood.

 Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted.

 Her eyes were trembling.

 Soon.

 Shizune also walked out of the temporary operating room.

 Her condition... wasn't much better than Tsunade's. Tsunade was scared by hemophobia, while Shizune was tired.

 A four-hour-long surgery.

 Drained Shizune's chakra.

 Her complexion was even paler than Tsunade's.

 She was weak when she walked, looking a bit shaky.

 But Shizune still held on, showed a smile to Naruto and Kakashi, and then said to them: "The surgery went smoothly, all wounds have been stitched up."

 Crack——

 The temporarily built operating room suddenly shattered with a loud noise.

 The figure of Whitebeard slowly standing up emerged from the dust and smoke.

 When the dust gradually dispersed, Whitebeard, bathed in blood, looked like an Asura walking out of hell.

 Extremely scary!

 "Gurararara!" Whitebeard's hearty laughter was as usual.

 If it weren't for the fact that he had a lot of blood on him and a huge scar stitched up on his chest... I'm afraid no one would think that he had just undergone surgery.

 With the sudden activation of the Quake-Quake Fruit power.

 All the blood on his body was shaken off, restoring his usual cleanliness.

 Whitebeard grabbed his white cloak.

 And put it back on himself again.

 He glanced at Tsunade, who was kneeling and trembling on the ground. Whitebeard could already tell that this little kid named Tsunade was very afraid of blood.

 "Pops!" At this moment, Naruto had already run over excitedly. He tightly grabbed Whitebeard's trouser leg.

 "Pops, are you okay? You've lost so much blood!" Naruto looked up at Whitebeard's stitched wound from surgery.

 Suddenly, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Oh no Pops, you're bleeding there!"

 Smack!!!

 Whitebeard gave Naruto a fist of love.

 "Foolish son! Have you never been injured or had surgery?" Whitebeard said, "Isn't it normal for a freshly stitched wound to seep a little blood? For a man of the sea, this amount of blood is just like sweating a bit!"

 Whitebeard continued to look at Tsunade.

 "Gambling addicted brat." Whitebeard said, "Step back."

 Tsunade, whose heart and mind were trembling from the stimulation of the blood, 

 instinctively obeyed this sentence.

 And just as Tsunade was tremblingly moving back a few steps in a kneeling position, Whitebeard's right fist was already wrapped in a layer of vibrating white light, which scared Kakashi on the side.

 Kakashi quickly dodged to the side.

 He just saw Whitebeard lightly smash a fist into the air.

 In an instant!

 The ground and the atmosphere were all shaking!

 Boom!!!

 The ground under their feet cracked out huge cracks, a large amount of dust and soil rose up, and the ground stained with crimson blood collapsed under this extremely exaggerated vibration.

 The whole piece of land became scarred under the impact of the vibration.

 But indeed, there was no trace of blood

 This scene...

 Made Tsunade stunned.

 She watched in horror as the blood disappeared.

 Looking at the earth that seemed to have been bombed thousands of times with explosive tags, she turned her head in astonishment to look at Whitebeard with a smile.

 "Tsunade-sama, you okay?" Shizune, her loyal disciple, asked with genuine concern.

 "Much better." Tsunade supported her body and slowly stood up.

 She took a deep breath.

 

 The smell of blood in the air was also completely dispersed under that vibrating atmosphere.

 Blood and smell.

 All gone.

 "Whitebeard-sama, your hidden disease has not been completely cured." Tsunade's breathing was slightly rapid. Obviously, the impact of the blood just now still remained quite a bit.

 She said to Whitebeard, "If Shizune's treatment a few days ago brought you back to 30% of your physical condition. Then this surgery that lasted four hours has brought your body back to 70%."

 "The remaining 30%..." Tsunade hesitated for a moment.

 But still said it: "Shizune is still my disciple, Her skill is far from me. For full recovery, I must personally perform the surgery on your injury."

 "There are some hidden mechanisms that involve vital points. I dare not let Shizune do it because one mistake could cost you your life."

 "Guraraarararararara! No problem!" Being able to recover to this extent, Whitebeard already felt that his physical condition was excellent.

 Although his 72-year-old body was already old.

 But the hidden injuries that always lingered and even affected his Haki and fruit ability had mostly disappeared.

 Whitebeard felt incredibly good!

 Better than he had ever felt before!

 If he had been in this state during the Summit War, He wouldn't have had a difficult time when he fought that magma brat.

 "You gambling addicted kid, you're afraid of blood, aren't you?"

 Whitebeard pinpointed Tsunade's weakness with a single sentence.

 Tsunade was silent for a moment, then nodded in admission: "Some things happened in the past that made me particularly sensitive to blood."

 The death of her lover.

 The death of Nawaki.

 These events pushed Tsunade's fear of blood to the extreme. Every time she saw blood, she would think of the two people she cared about the most.

 Studying medicine can save many people, but it can't save the ones she cares about the most. This was a huge blow to Tsunade.

 "Unless my hemophobia is cured, there's no way I can completely cure your hidden ailments."

 Tsunade gave a bitter smile.

 ...

 Night time.

 Whitebeard and the others returned to the secluded small town. The overly tall and burly figure of Whitebeard once again caused a stir.

 Especially the faint smell of blood emanating from his freshly stitched wound, which added a few points of murderous intent to Whitebeard out of thin air.

 Inside the small town tavern.

 Tsunade, Kakashi, and Shizune were dumbfounded as they watched Whitebeard easily drink a vat of strong liquor in one breath.

 This was not a glass.

 It was a vat!

 A large vat!

 "Gurararara!!!" Whitebeard, who had just downed a vat of strong liquor, was in an even better state than after his surgery. He laughed heartily: "I didn't expect there to be such good liquor in the Ninja World! Ever since I inexplicably ran to that broken Konoha Village, I haven't had a sip of liquor."

 Ordinary people who drink heavily right after surgery will definitely have big problems.

 But for someone with an exaggerated physique like Whitebeard, it's not a problem at all. There's no discomfort whatsoever.

 Whitebeard put down the vat of liquor and looked at Tsunade and Shizune.

 

 

 "Gambling addicted kid!" Whitebeard continued, "Gurarararara, your medical skills are the only ones I've seen that are on par with Marco's. Are you interested in joining my Whitebeard Pirates?"

 "Whitebeard Pirates?" Tsunade was taken aback.

 She had never expected that Whitebeard would invite her to become a pirate.

 "That's right! The Whitebeard Pirates!"

 Whitebeard declared domineeringly: "I want to form a new Whitebeard Pirates in this Ninja World!"

 "Are you trying to establish a force?"

 Tsunade asked with furrowed brows.

 To be honest, she didn't really like those with too much ambition, especially those whose ambitions had gone astray.

 Pirate.

 It doesn't sound like a good person.

 However, Whitebeard's answer left Tsunade stunned.

 "No!" 

 Whitebeard's smile carried a hint of reminiscence as if his sons were right by his side at this moment.

 "The Whitebeard Pirates have never been a force."

 "It is a family!"

 ...
