Chapter 184 177. White Town: Frevans

"Liberty...and equality?"

A little boy in a spotted fur hat looks at a newspaper in his hand.

"Does such a thing really exist in this world?"

Luo put down the newspaper expressionlessly.

"If all people are created equal, how could the Kingdom of Frevans almost perish due to platinum-lead disease?"

Luo looked at the civilians who were evacuated under the leadership of the navy and fell into thought.

Luo was born in the country known as the "white town": Flevance (Flevance).

This country has a peculiar landscape of immaculate white trees and grounds due to the underground mineral "Percodium", which is also a superior raw material.

But the world government has concealed the truth of the lead mine: once it is mined, it will cause people to be poisoned and suffer from "lead disease". Residents will suffer from the disease due to the accumulation of trace toxins, which will shorten the life span of each generation of citizens. .

The sick can only watch their skin and hair turn whiter and whiter, and die while suffering severe pain all over the body.

The most important thing is that this year when the platinum-lead disease finally broke out, the world government helped the nobles of the kingdom escape, but left the civilians there mercilessly.

Even the world government gave the navy a reason to prevent the spread of the infection, and sent the navy to forcibly block all the exit routes of the Kingdom of Frevans.

But platinum lead disease is not an infectious disease at all!
The disease is hereditary but not contagious.

Essentially, platinum-lead disease is just a serious form of heavy metal poisoning.

But fortunately, the navy sent by the world government is the white dove general who always goes his own way.

Under Luo's admiring gaze, Bai Ye hung up the phone bug that the World Government notified to block the whole territory without hesitation.

"How is it? The speech in this newspaper?" Bai Ye hung up the phone, and asked with a smile at Trafalgar D Vatierro, who was still young in front of him.

"It's easy to arouse people's impulses, but it's too far away." Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and meditated.

Indeed, racism and slavery in the One Piece world have been maintained for too long, and this cannot be changed in a short period of time with a speech.

"So I think the purpose of Polusalino's speech should be just an introduction, calling on people to start taking action." Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Uncle, you understand very well." Luo looked up at Bai Ye beside him.

"You know a lot, kid."

At such a young age, he can understand so much and be so mature.

This is also because I have experienced too many things, and my eyes have witnessed many deaths and separations.

Bai Ye thought so, smiled and touched Luo's head, but got Luo's eyes.

"So uncle, you are the navy, is it really good to refuse the order of the world government like this?" Luo's glasses narrowed slightly.

Looking at his sister Trafalgarami, who was being treated briefly by several naval medical soldiers, Luo felt a little complicated.

It is the world government that blocks the news about the toxicity of platinum lead mine in order to let everyone concentrate on mining.

But in the face of the current situation where a war is about to break out and the country will be destroyed due to rumors of infectious diseases, it is the navy under the command of the world government that saved them.

However, the world government still hatefully wants to blockade the whole territory. This order to rescue them was only issued by the leading officer of the navy.

"Hahaha, it's not the first time I've refused the order of those five old fellows." Bai Ye couldn't help laughing.

Block the whole territory?

What a joke!
This is not really an infectious disease!
It was just heavy metal poisoning, and the whole country was blocked because of this non-infectious disease, and rumors of infectious diseases were allowed to spread everywhere.

If it goes on like this, sooner or later the Kingdom of Frevans will perish.

Bai Ye can't do this kind of thing.

Besides, the world government is very busy now because of the outrage caused by Polusalino's speech.

The trivial matter of platinum lead disease, the world government directly handed over to Bai Ye to deal with, they have no time to take care of these matters.

Bai Ye saw that all the nobles of the kingdom had withdrawn, leaving only the people of Frevans who were suffering from platinum-lead disease.

There are always some unspeakable feelings in my heart.

So he waved his hand and decided to let the navy help the residents of Frevans on the spot.

Before coming here, I asked Vegapunk about the treatment method for lead poisoning, and Vegapunk gave several plans after thinking for a while.

Platinum lead disease is one of the most difficult diseases to treat in the world. Vegapunk can come up with a treatment plan not because her medical skills are higher than those doctors.

This can only be said to be a specialization in the art industry.

The essence of platinum-lead disease is heavy metal lead poisoning. For most doctors in Pirate World, they have basically never been exposed to such conditions as heavy metal poisoning.

So there is no way they are normal.

But Vegapunk is different. As a top scientist, he still knows a lot about lead.

"For acute poisoning, general first aid treatment is required first. For those with skin contamination, they need to change their clothes and wash the exposed skin thoroughly." The chief physician of the army doctor team issued an order according to the manual given by General Baige. .

"Okay, I understand." The army doctor left in response.

Then it was time for their group of professionals to perform.

They gathered many severely ill patients with platinum-lead disease into the temporary sheds built by the naval engineers, and thoroughly washed their pale skin.

"Let those patients who have been flushed take egg white to protect the gastric mucosa, and then use [-]% sodium sulfate and activated charcoal to wash their stomachs." The chief physician ordered in an orderly manner.

...........................

"Really... Thank you so much." The stooped old woman kept bowing and thanking her.

As the oldest person in the Kingdom of Frevans, it is really not easy for her to survive until now.

Because the toxicity of lead element will accumulate in the next generation, the life time of Frevans' offspring will be shorter and shorter.

It is also a miracle that she is currently the oldest resident of Frevance.

After so many years of suffering from platinum-lead disease, the old lady has long been disappointed with the world government, and she has become more and more clear about everything in this world.

Ben held the idea of ​​staying in Frevans and waiting to die with his homeland hard to leave, but he did not expect to be rescued by the navy.

At this moment, she didn't know how to describe the complicated fluctuations in her heart.

"Grandma, don't move around, drink this bowl of egg whites first." The young female military doctor handed over the bowl of egg whites in her hand.

"Okay...ok...okay"

The old woman's voice choked up.

With trembling hands, he took the bowl containing the egg whites, tears welling in his eyes.

Looking at the sunny smile of the female military doctor in front of her, the old woman felt that her whole world was illuminated.

...........................

"Little Lamy, stop making trouble and listen to the doctor."

Luo and Bai Ye chatted for a while, then came to accompany his sister.

"Brother, why don't you treat him?" Lamy pouted and asked.

Although his body was covered with white spots and he was weakly lying on the bed, little Lamy was still so cute with her mouth pouted.

"Brother, I'm not in a hurry, you guys treat first."

Trafalgarow's illness has not yet reached the point where it is life-threatening. Although the medical resources brought by Bai Ye are large, they cannot supply a population of tens of thousands in a small country.

Therefore, he could only be treated in batches according to the priority, and Luo was arranged to be treated in the next few batches.

Luo held little Lamy's right hand with both hands with doting eyes and chatted with her.

"Come on, let's go." A few sailors followed the military doctor with a tube.

"Little girl, have you finished your egg white?"

The military doctor asked while putting on sterile gloves.

"Yeah." Lamy nodded, "That...doctor."

"what happened?"

The military doctor who was doing preparations asked.

"Will it be very painful if you do gastric lavage?" Lamy's eyes were a little frightened.

"This...how should I put it?"

The military doctor was making preparations and didn't know what to say.

"That's very painful." Lamy pouted, feeling a little scared.

"Little Lamy is very brave." Luo smiled and patted his sister's head, "Just bear with it."

"Yeah." Lamy nodded.

"Okay, you guys go out first, let's leave it to the professionals." The military doctor came over with the equipment.
