Corazon Adventures Around The World

5. Hands Of Angel

"Ojou-san, it's okay if I don't move right? Don't mind me. Look at the kid condition first." Corazon broke the silence after a while.

"Let me see your face, Otouto-san." A bruise caused by Vergo clearly visible above Law's right eye.
"If you are tired you do not have to push yourself to sit, I can heal you while you sleep, here, place your head here." Marin said as she placed a part of her robe on her lap to make it comfortable for Law's head to rest.
Law was too tired and weak to think, so he just obey the ‘doctor's’ order. Silence take over the room again.

So much happened in short time, the night is still young, Corazon looks back the chronology of events he just experienced this evening. Stream of the recent incidents flashed in his mind. What a turn of events he had. Corazon was thankful enough that Law finally ate the Ope Ope Fruit. There is hope for him! What is left now is to let him leave this place alive. Their situation right now, in fact, is the same like before, but somehow it seems like there is a slight hope and more option now than before. Maybe one helping hand could really changes one's life. This is what Corazon thought when he thinks about how Marin showed up. How on earth this woman suddenly appeared?! Now his rationale begins to piece back together. Despite the incomprehensible meeting they had with her, Corazon is going to trust her and leave everything to fate like she suggested. He settled with that resolve.

About the intercepted report to Navy, about his betrayal to Admiral Sengoku and most importantly, about his life's goal to stop his brother's evil doing, Corazon is thinking into it right now. Earlier before, when he thought that there was no hope left for him to survive, he had abandoned all these thought, but it is different now, Corazon is giving himself another chance to try everything one more time.

Dabbing sound from Marin's glove that gently pat Law to sleep disrupts Corazon thinking. It is inevitable for him to eavesdropping their conversation.

"It's embarrassing!" Law irritatingly blushed when a stranger woman treated him like a baby.

"Please do not be concern about it, Otouto-san, it is a form of hypnotize to put a patient into sleep. You would be surprised when it worked on you!" Marin tried to put a good word to coax a grumpy little children.

"Is it so?" Law tones down, closes his eyes and tries to see if it work. New medical approaches always caught his interest.

(※Not thinking anything medical at all now.)

After a while, his breathing calms down, indicates that he is down into sleep. Marin finished treating Law's outer wounds. His skin shows no more bruises, scratches or cuts. But Marin is concerned whether Law is still feeling bad anywhere because there are many strange white patches all over him.

".......excuse me, I have finished healing his wounds, but his body is quite hot... maybe.. he is feeling sick somewhere inside, is it not?" Marin cautiously speaks with Corazon. His stony-faced made many people feel intimidated.

"Yes, this kid suffered White Lead Poisoning disease, you think you can do something?"

"Poison? um.......this is the first time I heard the disease's name, I am afraid I do not know where to put the Miracle since I do not know where the poison are.. Please tell me what should I do..."

"It isn't the type of poison that would kill immediately, it slowly eating him from inside and it's already all over his inside now, probably.. Because this kid predicted his life is up until 6 months to go."

"How could that be.., what a pitiful little boy.." Overwhelmed, Marin quickly put her hand above Law abdomen and forehead.
"I can only randomly put Miracle all over him, but since I cannot look inside his body, I would not know how will the poison gone or how many left."

"Even that will be enough. It would help him even a bit. I leave it to you."

"I understand. I will do my best."
  
  
  
  
   
.........to be continue.
