When Mandy and Kella fought him, the entire manor was almost completely destroyed, except for the main building where Blake was standing at the time.
When Blake returned with Stella, Mandy and Kella had already been settled in a room in the main building.
Blake pushed open the carved wooden door, where two nurses in uniform were adjusting an IV stand.
Mandy lay half-reclined on the hospital bed by the window, her left shoulder wrapped in a snow-white bandage, and her right arm suspended in front of her chest by a fixation strap.
Upon seeing Blake, a flicker of emotion crossed her pale face, but she quickly regained her icy composure.
Seeing Mandy's expression, which seemed no different from usual, Blake almost thought she wasn't injured at all.
In fact, Mandy, who was the main attacker, was more seriously injured than Sakazuki was during the Marineford War.
If it weren't for Kella's interference at several crucial moments, it wouldn't be surprising if Rayleigh had killed her last night.
Especially that move "Dawn Song," which Mandy didn't react to at all and almost suffered the same fate as Somaz.
Kella sat on the next bed, her entire right arm wrapped in a cast, and a nurse was adjusting the angle of her sling.
Upon seeing Blake walk in, the nurses hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.
When it comes to treating illnesses, can't we be a little more serious?
But Blake didn't say anything.
Apart from the women around him and combat units like Aramaki, all other maids had to follow the rules of the Celestial Dragons.
He walked over and sat down beside Mandy's bed:
"how do you feel?"
Mandy shook her head weakly and didn't say anything.
After so many years of getting along, Blake had long been used to the other's taciturn personality.
He turned to look at Kella beside him, his eyes filled with a clear question.
Kella peeked her little head out; the heavy plaster cast made her movements seem somewhat clumsy.
"The doctor said that Mandy's dislocated hand will be fully recovered today."
"If you want to avoid scarring from a shoulder injury, you need to treat it repeatedly, which will take at least a week."
“Internal organ damage is even more troublesome; it might take two weeks to recover.”
Blake frowned; Mandy's injuries were still quite serious.
In this world, injuries that require a "week" to recover from are already considered very serious, given the physical limitations of the environment.
After all, minor injuries like fractures and lost teeth can be healed simply by drinking milk.
Zoro always looks like he's been beaten up terribly, but he's always able to continue training the next day.
Mandy was slashed several times by Rayleigh, and even with some defense, it still took her two weeks to recover.
Blake gently pressed on Mandy's body a few times to check her internal organs.
However, since he was not a professional medical worker, he could only follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
He then looked at Kella, who was in high spirits:
"how about you?"
Black remembered that Rayleigh's last move was Roger's signature technique, and Koala had actually fought back against him in a real exchange.
Kella shook the cast on her right arm, but was reluctantly pressed down by the nurse next to her.
She pouted slightly, a little dissatisfied, and said:
"The arm was only fractured, but it's nothing serious."
"His internal organs were also injured, but less severely than those of Sister Mandy."
Blake nodded upon hearing this, not too worried about the little girl.
That's how people who eat the Glint-Glint Fruit are; throughout the entire battle, Koala only took the lead in the attack when Mandy couldn't hold on any longer.
Moreover, Rayleigh was already starting to tire at that point.
Blake offered a few words of comfort to the two of them, then turned to Stella and instructed her:
"Have someone take good care of them and let their injuries heal first."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will make the arrangements."
Stella nodded in agreement, and Blake was quite relieved.
For many years, Stella has been the manor's head housekeeper, managing the estate in an orderly manner.
Even without the instructions just given, she could have done a good job.
In fact, the way Mandy and Koala were treated for their injuries reveals why the Navy's combat effectiveness generally declines much slower than that of pirates.
Advanced medical equipment, comprehensive medical procedures, professional nursing staff...
Most importantly, there is an extremely stable rear area that ensures the wounded do not need to engage in any fighting until they are fully recovered.
Zoro's training while injured is indeed very hard-working and touching, but it's possible that it might leave behind some hidden, undetectable injuries.
These hidden injuries may not even be detected when you are young, but they can easily cause serious illnesses in your later years, like a white-bearded man falling from the sky.
For many pirates, their only habitat is a single ship, and when enemies attack, they don't care whether you're injured or not.
They may inflict new injuries before their old ones have healed.
In this way, the World Government's strongest members can naturally maintain their peak combat power for longer.
After leaving the makeshift medical room, Blake, who hadn't slept all night, returned to his room.
After transmigrating and becoming a Celestial Dragon, Black's daily routine remained quite regular.
He remembered that the last time he stayed up all night seemed to be in a past life.
Lying in bed, Blake didn't actually feel tired at all.
However, he secretly thought to himself:
"We must build up our fighting strength to the point where we can take down Im in one go before we make a move."
"Avoid staying up late if you can avoid it."
While Blake slept soundly, many others couldn't sleep.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, Shakky, who had also spent a sleepless night, leaned against the window, gazing towards the Red Line.
Her eyes were already brimming with tears.
The thick smoke over the Red Line has dissipated for some time, but Rayleigh has yet to return.
Xia Qi had a bad feeling, but she still tried to convince herself:
"It's okay! Everything will be alright!"
"Maybe there was just some unexpected event that caused the delay."
However, the more she hinted at it, the more she couldn't help but think about the worst-case scenario.
She didn't even dare to look at the life card in the room.
Rayleigh's goal this time was simply to take advantage of the chaos to bring back the three Boa sisters, which shouldn't be too difficult for him.
They should have returned long ago, when large numbers of slaves fled Red Harbor.
Even if something unexpected happens during the process and he gets caught up in the battlefield, Rayleigh's first goal should be to leave, not to fight alongside the Revolutionary Army to the end.
Now, the weather on the Red Line is no longer changing drastically, which means the battle should be over.
But Rayleigh never returned.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, its rays fell upon Xia Qi, yet she felt a chill run through her body...
Chapter 128 What could he do? He was helpless too.
Just as Blake was drifting off to sleep, a raging storm had already erupted on the sea because of what had happened the night before.
Although the battle at Mary Geoise was so intense, with various forms of Conqueror's Haki sweeping across the battlefield, Morgans was unable to find the best filming location.
Finally, Im's appearance, along with his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, left him unable to produce even a decent photograph.
However, through earlier footage and some leaked intelligence from within the World Government, Morgans was able to roughly reconstruct what happened.
"Breaking news! This is truly the biggest news in twenty years!"
Inside the office, Morgans looked at the intelligence reports sent back from the front lines. His hand, holding the fax, trembled with excitement, veins bulging.
He slammed the fax on the table, grabbed a pen, and began to write furiously.
While writing, he kept muttering "big news".
The employee standing nearby trembled and said cautiously:
"President...President! Reporting this directly will anger the World Government!"
Morgans didn't even look up, continuing to wield his brush on the paper:
"Fool! The soul of news is the truth!"
"If you dare to utter another word, I'll send you to interview Kaido!"
The employees were too frightened to speak, and Morgans muttered something under his breath:
"If news like this needs to be embellished, I might as well write a food column for Charlotte Linlin!"
Half an hour later, thick smoke began to billow from the printing presses of the World Economic News Agency.
The newsbirds flew like snowflakes across the world, quickly spreading news of the attack on Mary Geoise throughout the ocean.
[Breaking News! The Sun and a Dragon Descend Simultaneously! Mary Geoise is Engulfed in Flames!]
[Shocking! Fisher Tiger, the Fishman, raids the Holy Land! Igniting the flames of liberation!]
[A nightmare has descended upon the world government!]
The Red Line is trembling! The era of the World Government may be coming to an end!
This guy, who loves to stir up trouble and dares to post anything, even dared to write in the newspaper that the world government was doomed.
So this time, the World Economic News wasn't advertising for world governments; instead, it was giving them a good smear.
As a result, today's newspapers are not paid for by the world government, and their price has doubled compared to the past.
However, people are naturally curious.
Moreover, even if newspaper prices increase, it won't make much difference to those who make a living on the sea.
Soon, the whole world learned of the attack on Mary Geoise the previous night.
The New World, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick.
"Dad! Something terrible has happened! This is a really serious matter!"
Marco, waving a newspaper, ran quickly to Whitebeard's side.
Whitebeard was still happily watching his sons on the deck when he casually picked up the newspaper:
"Gurararar... What kind of big event could make you so excited?"
His gaze fell on the newspaper, his eyes narrowed, and his smile gradually disappeared.
Does anyone dare to directly infiltrate the World Government's headquarters?
Having witnessed the "world" under Rocks' leadership, he knew very well the terrifying power hidden within the World Government.
That was a monster that even Lox couldn't defeat.
These people in the newspapers have never even seen the "world," let alone gotten past the Five Elders and the Knights of God.
Soon, others gathered around and began commenting on the contents of the newspaper.
Why isn't there even a close-up photo?
"Who is Tiger?"
"The expressions on those Celestial Dragons' faces must have been priceless!"
"It's a pity about the Revolutionary Army, but it's always a good thing that the Celestial Dragons are unlucky."
