Do you want to live ?
"Father used to say that, Amber lead poisoning is not contagious from a person to person. He has done many tests on it. Amber lead poisoning happens because of the prolonged exposure of the amber lead ore directly to the skin.
It erodes the body from the inside out, though rather subtly and developing slowly. According to father, infected people showed no noticeable symptoms until it's in its final stages.
But the disease shortens the lifespan of each subsequent generation and causes the symptoms to appear that much earlier, it caused the citizens of Flevance from different generations to appear to all fall ill around the same time.
Father also found a way to treat the disease. But that way was impossible. Because he found that only purifying all the blood inside the body from Amber lead poison at once, the disease can be cured. But technically it was impossible. So he concluded that there is no method of treatment in a normal way.
He was talking about buying sometime by publishing his research world wide. But something wrong happened before that." Lami remembered the nightmare that happened before her father could bring the truth of amber lead to the entire world. She didn't even want to remember them. So she just sobbed afterwards.
"The neighbouring countries along with the people from world government called for genocide in order to prevent the disease from spreading.
*Sigh* There is no way that the government didn't know.
They probably didn't want their dirty deeds to go out." Hancock finished her sentence with disdain.
She didn't force Lami to talk about anything she didn't want. She understood that the incident has left a mental scar on the kid. She has gone through something similar. So she knew that her life won't be easy.
Then she suddenly remembered something. Hancock remember about the devil fruit confusion that the broker has created.
She didn't know, wheather the fruit gives it's user the ability to control blood or heal himself, but if by chance Lami could control her blood, then it would be probably possible to cure her disease.
"Tell me Lami, if you could get an ability that will let you control your blood then can you remove all the poison from someone's body ?" Hancock asked her.
"Probably." Lami was unsure and confused what Hancock was talking about.
"What were you planning to do, before we rescued you ?" Hancock asked again.
"I had no plans. Either way I will die soon. I was just thinking about making it les painless." Lami told blankly.
"So you don't mind if you spend last days of your life in this ship with us ?" Hancock asked Lami. If it would have been anyone else then Hancock wouldn't have shown kindness. She was not the most kind person in the world. But Hancock good relate to Lami. She was once in such a situation. When she was giving her younger sisters the hope to escape, she had given up on her own life.
"Aren't you afraid that my disease will spread to you ? Are you going to believe my words like that ?" Lami was surprised at first. But then she came out of her stupor and half shouted at Hancock.
"You were not lying. And I would rather believe a little girl than the world government. So is there any problem ?" Hancock asked her.
"No, I will die soon anyway." Lami said sighing.
"Well then take some rest after that you can come outside. We are currently hunting a treasure of the sea. If you want you can enjoy." Hancock said before leaving the room. But just before crossing the door she turned back to Lami.
"Do you want to live ?" Hancock asked Lami.
Lami couldn't answer for a long time. She was very confused. For her, death was inevitable. So she never thought about that question. But then the last words of her mother played in front of her.
"I don't know..."
"I hope you would figure it out by the time our treasure hunt ends." Hancock said before leaving.
...
Tia looked towards the sea chart of the north blue that they got from the marine base during their entry to the north blue. According to them it was the most accurate sea chart of the north blue, currently in circulation.
And comparing to the sea chart they got from the black market it was obvious that the Marine's sea chart might be more accurate, but there were many locations missing from it. But it wasn't a problem for Tia.
She has done this before. So she didn't feel very pressured by the job.
The location they were searching for, was some where in the south east of rubeck island. The exact location was unknown. So to save time Tia decided to narrow down the location for searching by comparing both the sea charts and the old records.
According to those records, the fruit was supposed to be inside a underwater cave. So Hancock along with Sandersonia went to buy a submarine.
The needed to search underwater and they don't even know the deapth where it would be.
It was like chasing a goose that is rumoured to be giving golden eggs without even knowing the truth.
...
Lami got along with the crew of the boa pirates pretty well. Well except for the old hag, who doesn't seems so friendly to approach.
Hancock was beautiful and a little bit arrogant. But she was good. Sandersonia is the big sister type who likes fighting. Marigold was clumsy, but maintained her figure even when she was the biggest eater in the entire crew.
Silver was the second in command and extremely loyal to Hancock. But she was also good.Tia, the navigator has some issues with her clothes. She seems to be half naked most of the time. Sheel was a lovely cook. And finally Gloriosa was a grandma who seems to be hate children.
She has a few days to live. Knowing that she didn't mind enjoying her last days a little bit.
Apparently Hancock and her crew were searching for some rare devil fruit which was supposed to be inside a underwater cave in the north blue.
She didn't know how they were going to find it. Until Hancock suggested to get a submarine. Hancock was a devil fruit user. A very powerful one at that. She could turn people into stone statues. Silver was in awa when she saw her fight for the first time. For a moment she wished to live and continue her adventure with them.
But she knew that it would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
