One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 140 New Year’s Gift
"The New Year is coming soon."

Rhodes suddenly spoke.

People in this world don’t seem to care much about the New Year.

However, according to the habits of his previous life, Rhodes has always attached great importance to the New Year.

This is also a way for him to commemorate his previous life.

"It will be New Year's Day in a month."

Nalu answered.

Having grown up with Rhodes since childhood, he knew very well how much importance Rhodes attached to the New Year.

"With the weather on Magnetic Drum Island, there's no way to tell the time by looking at the changes in the climate."

"It should be said that even the Grand Line is not allowed."

"Big Bear!"

Rhodes suddenly spoke to the big bear who was sitting a little further away.

“Have you ever been to the Devil’s Triangle?”

Big Bear thought for a moment.

"I have been there before, but there was only a huge triangular sailboat that looked like an island. That was the territory of Moonlight Moriah."

"That Shichibukai?"

After Rod became one of the Shichibukai and spoke on the phone with the Five Elders, the highest authorities of the World Government, Robin clearly let go of her worries and became brighter.

"The hero from the West Sea, Gekko Moriah, I never thought that he would stay there after becoming one of the Shichibukai."

"He is your fellow villager."

Rhodes chuckled and looked at Luo.

"How's the treatment going lately?"

"very smooth!"

Luo has dark circles under his eyes.

Recently, he has been studying medicine, reading medical books with Kuleha, and discussing Bonnie's treatment plan with Doctor 20.

After seeing his companions practicing hard, especially Neru's daily practice schedule, he was very worried that he would be left behind by his companions due to lack of exercise. So after studying medicine every day, he would take time out to exercise.

He felt like he was drained of all his energy every day. Fortunately, Minina's life-saving food restored his strength, and Big Bear would often take care of his fatigue and bear it himself, which prevented Luo from collapsing first.

"The first phase of treatment should be completed before the Chinese New Year, and her condition will not get worse."

"I can not make it!"

Bonnie lay down next to Big Bear and stroked her bulging belly.

"I can't eat anymore, you are so awesome, Sister Minina!"

"Bonnie is amazing!"

Minina rubbed Bonnie's head beside her.

The two had the same hair color and were both very good eaters, which allowed Minnina to quickly become familiar with Bonnie and completely treat her as her own sister.

Rhode glanced at Bonnie over there.

The other party should be the supernova 'Big Eater' who went to sea with Straw Hat Luffy and was dubbed the "Worst Generation"!
At the beginning, he really didn't recognize the other person's identity.

After all, in Rhode's impression, the gluttonous girl is someone of the same age as Straw Hat Luffy, and she must be at least 13 or 14 years old now.

It was not until some time ago that Bonnie used her devil fruit ability to transform herself into a young girl, and Rhodes recognized her identity.

However, after recognizing the other party's identity, Rhodes couldn't help but feel suspicious.

If I remember correctly, Straw Hat Luffy set sail in 1520, which was four years later.

Bonnie is only 6 years old now, and even if it is 4 years later, she will only be 10 years old at most.

A 10-year-old girl can become a supernova. I really don’t know who is the real protagonist between her and Straw Hat Luffy.

"Why are you suddenly asking about the Devil's Triangle?"

Nia looked at Rhodes, her eyes full of anticipation.

"What are your plans?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, I want to prepare a New Year's gift for myself."

"new Year's gift?"

Bakara looked at her captain.

"Didn't the navy just send over a batch of stuff a few days ago?"

"Those things?"

Rhodes' face fell.

Just last week, the collection that the Navy had promised Rod was finally delivered.

I can only say that they are indeed some valuable collections.

However, there was nothing that excited Rhodes. Those antique weapons did not have any decent previous owners for Rhodes to learn from.

I'm afraid those weapons and collections were originally just decorations.

"Take me with you!"

Nia rushed to Rhodes' side excitedly.

If she were to stay on this island any longer, she would probably go crazy.

It’s so boring!
"Is there anyone else going?"

Pei Jin and Xia Qi were a little tempted, but when Nei Lu glanced at them, they both lowered their heads immediately.

Recently, Neylu's exercise schedule has become more and more terrifying.

The two of them were often ridiculed during their daily physical training because they failed to meet Neylu's requirements.

After putting down the black gun, the progress this guy showed in physical training and his desperate attitude simply scared them.

"I want to go too!"

Bakara raised her hand.

"You can not."

Rhodes directly rejected it.

"Wait until you master Armament Haki."

He was also looking forward to seeing Bakara's European Emperor Fist show its power.

"Just let me relax for a moment, Captain~~"

Bakara winked at Rod, trying to get permission by acting coquettishly.

"If your eyes are dry, you can ask Luo to take a look at you, or you can find another doctor."

Rhodes was not moved at all.

Bakara held her forehead with her hand, her face full of despair.

Recently, she felt that her arms had become much thicker due to her practice, and her figure had become a little out of shape.

I really don’t want to practice!
"Can you take me with you?"

Robin looked at Rhodes. "I'm very interested in the huge triangular sailboat that looks like an island that Mr. Big Bear mentioned."

"Then I'm going too!"

Gray sat up straight in an instant.

He hadn't thought of it just now.

If the huge triangular sailboat that looks like an island is equipped with enough firepower, it will probably become a terrifying battleship that will scare everyone.

"So, that's just us, right?"

Bepo went to deliver food to Bonis who was still practicing in the snow. He had also been learning some medical skills from the doctors recently, and was also practicing with Neru, so he was very busy all day.

Minina was going to stay and cook. Without her energy-replenishing food, Rhodes was really worried that he would suddenly collapse.

Not to mention Nelu, he now wishes he could spend all his time practicing, and even Rhodes was frightened by his enthusiasm.

"Let's set off soon!"

Rhodes looked at the big bear.

"I'll ask you to take us there!"

"no problem."

Big Bear nodded.

"From here, it only takes two days to arrive."

"Wow~~"

Chopper looked at Rhodes and the others with shining eyes.

"Why, do you want to join us?"

Rhodes looked at Chopper.

If the other party wanted to go, Rhodes didn't mind taking him along.

There won’t be any danger anyway, so just consider it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons.

"Can I too?!"

Chopper stood up excitedly, a hint of excitement flashing across his face.

He has always longed for the life of a pirate!

"but···"

Chopper hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I still need to learn medical skills from doctors. I am still a long way from becoming a qualified doctor!"

"not bad!"

Rhodes looked at Chopper.

"With this spirit, you will definitely become a great doctor in the future."

"Asshole!"

A blush appeared on Chopper's face.

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy!"

Looking at Chopper twisting his body, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the air was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

···
"So, how do we get there?"

Nia looked at Rod, then at Big Bear.

They clearly said they were going to go over there, but Rod didn't take them on the boat. He just stood there and said that Big Bear had "plane tickets" and could take them directly over there.

I don't understand what Rhodes said at all!

"I'm afraid it's Mr. Bear's ability."

Robin had felt the power of the big bear before.

When Aokiji came before, Kuma used his ability to briefly send Robin and the others to the edge of the battlefield.

But the time was too short and the speed was too fast, so Robin didn't have time to feel how it was moving.

"Yes, I am the user of the Meat Ball Fruit. I can swat people to anywhere at will."

As he spoke, Big Bear took off his gloves, revealing pads that looked like bear paws.

“What lovely palms!”

Nia's eyes lit up.

"You have some yourself, don't you?"

Gray ruthlessly exposes Nia.

After using the Devil Fruit to transform, Nia also has the same type of pads.

"You seem a little bloated, Gray!"

Nia looked at Gray with an unfriendly look.

Before he ate the [Swallow-Swallow Fruit], Gray was timid and never dared to speak loudly in front of her.

However, after eating the [Swallow-Swallow Fruit], becoming a special ability user, and developing some applications of the fruit's abilities, Nia could clearly feel Gray's expansion.

He even dared to speak like that.

"I'm just telling the truth..."

Feeling Nia's gaze, Gray shrank his neck unconsciously.

"Then let's go."

Big Bear raised his hand high, then slapped it out. The next moment, Rhodes and his companions disappeared from the spot.

"so amazing!"

In mid-air, Nia looked curiously at the bear paw-shaped bubble that surrounded her.

She could see everything around her rapidly receding, and the clouds in the sky disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.

"Devil Fruit, what a magical power."

Gray's brain was working rapidly.

"You can create invisible damage or pain, fatigue, etc. You can also slap the air to create an air cannon. Now you can also use this method to make people move quickly."

"Sure enough, the power of the devil fruit is the greatest miracle in this ocean."

"But I still want to build an invincible super battleship!"

"Should have brought two books."

This thought flashed through Robin's mind.

Flying in the sky for two days like this would be too boring.

"If I move around, I don't think I'll break free."

Rhodes felt that if he moved too violently, the bear paw-shaped bubble would burst in an instant.

"Just wait patiently. However, I don't want to do this again next time. It's too boring!"
