One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 120 Bitter Battle Against Wapol, Logia-type Devil Fruit

Dressrosa.

Kureha said quietly, "There is a magical race there, the Drum Dwarfs, and Princess Mansherry of the Drum Dwarf Kingdom is a user of the Healing Fruit."

"Healing Fruit?"

The bear's eyes gradually brightened.

"Yes, this ability is quite amazing. It can not only quickly heal injuries, but also eliminate diseases that are present in the human body."

Kureha took another swig of her drink and continued:

"When I traveled the world more than ten years ago, I passed by there. Mansherry was just a little girl then. Now she has grown up and her control over the fruit's power should have improved a lot. That magical power might be enough to heal Jade Scale."

"but."

She glanced at the bear. "The Kingdom of Dressrosa is now Doflamingo's territory. That guy is no pushover. The Tontatta tribe has always had a grudge against the Donquixote Family, and now I hear they've become his subordinates. If you want to see Princess Mansherry, you'll have to get past him first."

"Doflamingo..."

Xiong frowned slightly. As a former revolutionary army officer, he naturally knew how dangerous this Shichibukai was.

"That guy is an arrogant and proud character."

Xiong pondered for a moment and said, "But I've heard that she's a businessman who values ​​integrity. If I'm willing to pay a price to request a meeting with Man Shirley, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"A businessman... that's certainly true."

Kureha clicked her tongue, then casually tore off a page and scribbled a few lines on it.

"In that case, here, accept this letter of introduction. Mansherry isn't exactly known for her good temper, but for my sake, she'll agree to help you with one medical visit."

"Thank you."

Xiong hurriedly stood up, took the letter of introduction with both hands, glanced at it, and then carefully put it away.

"If you really have to go, you should be extra careful," Xia Nuo said from the side. "Doflamingo's character is ultimately not trustworthy."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Xia Nuo."

Xiong said earnestly to Xia Nuo, "I will be on guard and act cautiously. With my strength, even if Doflamingo wants to play any tricks, he may not be able to succeed."

This is true.

Xia Nuo nodded, seeing that Xiong had indeed taken her words to heart, so she didn't offer any further reminders.

After all, to be honest, although there is a big gap in fame between Xiong and Doflamingo, they are not inferior in strength at all and are both strong at the same level.

Moreover, given how well Kuma has developed the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability to fly, even if he were in real danger, escaping would be a very easy thing.

"Bonnie is still suffering from illness, so I'm sorry I can't stay here any longer."

The bear bowed to Kureha and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Ms. Kureha. I will always remember this kindness.”

He then looked at Shano, "Thank you for your introduction today, Your Excellency Shano. I hope we will meet again someday."

"It will happen," Xia Nuo smiled.

The wind and snow outside were still howling, but the atmosphere inside the treehouse was warm and peaceful.

After exchanging a few words, Xiong put his bear-ear hat back on, got up and took his leave.

Before leaving, he nodded to everyone in a respectful greeting before turning and stepping into the wind and snow.

As everyone watched him go, his tall figure gradually disappeared into the vast snowy night.

"What a gentle father..." Chopper sighed softly as he leaned against the window.

"Yes."

Xia Nuo stretched and turned to Robin, saying, "Alright, we should start planning our itinerary now."

"Eh?"

Chopper suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide open, "Brother Shano, are you leaving so soon?"

"Your illness is cured, of course you have to leave. What, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Xia Nuo rubbed its fluffy head and laughed, "How about you come aboard with us and be our ship's doctor?"

"Really? But I...I..."

Chopper's eyes lit up with excitement, but then, as if remembering something, his face flushed red, and he stammered, unable to speak.

"Chopper is not qualified to be a doctor right now."

Kureha’s calm voice rang out, “He only started seriously learning medicine from me at the beginning of this year, and he’s only just begun. All his medical knowledge before was learned from that guy Hiluluk. If you’re not afraid of everyone on the ship dying from his treatments, you can bring him along.”

Uh……

I recalled Hiluluk's superb medical skills.

Xia Nuo felt that it would be better to let Chopper continue his studies for a while longer.

"Then we'll talk about it after you've finished learning."

Xia Nuo crouched down and chuckled, "No need to rush, Chopper. In my eyes, you're already one of our companions. If you ever want to go to sea, you're welcome to join us anytime..."

He suddenly remembered the two brats at the Shimotsuki Dojo and added:
"Oh, by the way, in less than two years, there will probably be two guys with green hair and blond hair following in my footsteps to sea. When that happens, you can also get on their ship and come with them to find me."

"Green hair and blond hair?" Chopper was stunned. "Who are they?"

"Two annoying brats."

Xia Nuo's eyes showed nostalgia, "One of them keeps shouting that he wants to become the world's greatest swordsman, and the other one... well, his dream is to find the legendary All Blue. Anyway, these two idiots are always fighting and cursing at each other. If you see them, you'll definitely recognize them."

"Understood, Brother Xia Nuo!"

Chopper nodded vigorously, "But... but I'm still far from good enough. From now on, I need to learn properly from Dr. Iris!"

Mr. Hiluluk, can you hear me? You must have heard me in heaven!
From that moment on, I truly had a partner!

The little reindeer's eyes were slightly red, and it tried its best not to let the tears fall.

"Yes, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to complete your studies soon."

Xia Nuo laughed and stood up. He glanced at the pink cherry blossom hat in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it back on Chopper's head.

He and Robin had just stepped out the door.

"Hey, kid!"

Kureha suddenly grabbed Shano's arm and glared at him fiercely, "Have you forgotten something important?"

"what?"

Xia Nuo looked completely bewildered.

"Consultation fee! Consultation fee!"

Kureha crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "99,999,950 Berries, not a single one less!"

"Are you serious, old woman?! I don't have a single coin on me, where am I going to get so much money for you!"

"Come on, a great pirate with a bounty of 540 million Berries can't even come up with one-fifth of his wealth? I don't believe it!"

"Can't I use this to pay the price?"

Xia Nuo pointed to the unconscious Walborough in the snow outside the house, "I'll help you get rid of this scoundrel and turn this island back into that renowned medical superpower, how about it?"

"..."

Kureha frowned and lit a cigarette. "What nonsense are you talking about? This guy is the king of a member state who is qualified to attend the World Conference..."

She suddenly realized something and narrowed her eyes. "That's true. For a pirate of your caliber, it's nothing."

The black-haired boy in front of me was incredibly kind and friendly from beginning to end.

For a moment, she really forgot about it.

This guy is a dangerous individual who dares to kill even a Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters and a Shichibukai.

"But what good would it do me to get this country back on track?"

Kureha gazed at the towns lit up in the distance, exhaling a puff of smoke. "It's just that there are now a bunch of doctors competing with me for business."

"Why are you still acting all high and mighty at your age? It's disgusting, you two-faced old hag!"

Speechless, Shano facepalmed, grabbed Walbourne, and punched the guy hard in the bulging belly.

"vomit--"

While unconscious, Valbo suddenly opened his mouth wide and spat out a huge pile of gold coins and jewels, which quickly piled up into a small mountain on the snow.

But that wasn't all. Xia Nuo followed up with another kick. This time, his entire stomach was emptied out, along with precious murals, the entire gilded dining table, the diamond throne, and even a dozen cannons.

"This should be enough, right? Take what you want, and you can decide what to do with the rest."

Xia Nuo clapped his hands and glanced sideways at the stunned Kureha.

Kureha is the most stubborn; this old woman, who has lived for over 130 years, has a deeper affection for her hometown than anyone else.

It is believed that the wealth plundered from the people by Valbo, handed over to her as "medical fees," will be properly disposed of.

He couldn't be bothered to worry about where the Drum Kingdom would go next.

Anyway, the two ministers and several squad leaders who led the resistance had all been knocked away by Xiong and no one knew where they had gone.

Once Wapol is dealt with, the brutal and reactionary forces of the Drum Kingdom will be completely wiped out, and the future will be bright and promising.

As for whether the island will be renamed the Sakura Kingdom, just like in the original timeline, and whether Dalton will become its king, that is entirely up to the island's inhabitants and has nothing to do with him.

"Ugh, uh..."

A groan suddenly came from the ground.

After being tormented like this, Wapol finally woke up slowly.

He was in a daze, clearly not fully awake yet.

But upon seeing the glittering jewels and gold coins scattered on the ground, his eyes widened in fury, and he roared:

"Who? Who! Who is so audacious as to steal even my things!"

"You're awake."

A cheerful voice rang in my ears, "Unfortunately, you'll be closing your eyes again soon."

Ok? !

Walbourne turned his head abruptly, and what came into view was Shano's smiling face, which was very close to his.

It's that great pirate!

"Jace, Cromarimon, where are you! Protect me! Protect me!"

He was so frightened he almost fainted. He crawled backward on all fours, but before he could take more than a few steps, Xia Nuo grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?!"

Wapol was terrified, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded, "Please spare me, I beg you! If you spare me, you can have my entire treasury, all my treasures, my doctor, and from now on, you can call the shots of this whole country..."

"is it?"

Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Brother Shano, be careful he doesn't try anything!" Chopper shouted anxiously. "This guy is very cunning, don't be fooled by his appearance!"

Damn it!

That talkative raccoon!

Wapol cursed inwardly, thinking that the stinky raccoon was right; he wasn't the kind of guy who would just sit and wait to die.

But this bastard named Xia Nuo is really arrogant, he doesn't take me seriously at all!
Did you think that by emptying your stomach, you were no longer a threat? How dare you keep your head so close!

Then pay the price for your arrogance!

He suddenly revealed a ferocious smile, and a mechanical "click-click" sound came from deep in his throat.

"Go to hell, you idiot!"

Wapol suddenly opened his iron jaw, his previously swollen abdomen suddenly contracted, and the thick metal cannon barrel hidden deep inside instantly popped out, aiming at Shano's face!
"Swallow Factory: Metal Storm!"

boom!
Countless sharp iron pieces, gears, and steel balls were sprayed out like a storm, and at such close range, there was almost no way to avoid them!

however.

Xia Nuo remained standing in the same spot, smiling at him without even blinking.

Ding ding ding ding——

The metal fragments slammed into his face, but it was as if they had hit indestructible steel. Sparks flew, and after a crisp collision, they bounced off without leaving a single scratch.

Wahlbo nearly popped his eyes out.

This...this is impossible!
His Metal Storm is a deadly move that can instantly destroy even the most sturdy castle, yet it couldn't even scratch the opponent's skin.
What is this guy's body made of?!

"No...impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Wapol instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his fear turning into anger, and he gritted his teeth.

There's no time to hesitate now!

Since no effective killing moves can deal with this monster, we'll just have to try swallowing it whole!
Wapol suddenly opened his mouth to its maximum, attempting to swallow Shano whole, but—

"Your breath stinks. Sorry, I don't want to go exploring."

With a soft voice, Shano suddenly reached out with his right hand, his five fingers gripping Walbourne's jaw like iron clamps, forcibly opening his mouth a little wider.

"Well--"

Wahlbo's pupils constricted sharply as his metal jaw was forcibly torn apart, producing a piercing metallic creak.

He struggled frantically, but Xia Nuo's strength was as unshakeable as a mountain, preventing him from advancing an inch. In the stalemate, one could even hear the cracking sound of bones and metal joints breaking under the immense force.

The next second, Xia Nuo gripped his jaw with his left hand as well, his arm muscles suddenly tensed, and he pulled sharply to the sides—

Kureha and Robin reacted quickly, each extending a hand to cover Chopper's eyes.

Click! ! !

With a piercing sound of metal joints snapping, Wahlbo's jawbone shattered completely, tearing his entire skull in half.

Blood mingled with mechanical parts and splattered out. Wapol's screams came to an abrupt halt, leaving only his metal chin hanging on Shano's hand.

The upper half of his face fell to the ground along with his obese body, his bulging eyes staring at the sky, unable to close them in death.

"The doctor..."

Chopper's vision was still completely blocked by fingers, but judging from the sound, it could roughly guess what was going on, and it couldn't help but shudder. "Was this guy's head ripped open? That's awful..."

"It's pretty tragic, but this is the fate he deserves."

Kureha grinned, exhaled a puff of smoke, and gazed leisurely.

Hiluluk, and all those innocent doctors and citizens who died at his hands... If they were alive today, they would be so gratified to see this...

At this moment, Xia Nuo squatted down and examined the corpse.

Yes, it's definitely dead; there's no risk of it being resurrected.

The Swallow-Swallow Fruit was truly bizarre, and he didn't want to let it escape due to momentary carelessness.

Now, it's time to collect my spoils. This metal chin can't be sacrificed, so...

His gaze swept up and down, finally settling on Wapol's crown.

This guy cares so much about his kingship, this thing must be quite valuable. Xia Nuo picked it up casually, but something gurgled out of it.

"Ok?"

When Xia Nuo looked down, he saw a white fruit with spiral patterns on its surface, which shimmered against the backdrop of the snow.

So that's where the Devil Fruit radar detected it!

Shano guessed that this thing was originally stored in the national treasury along with those gold and silver jewels, and was only taken out when Wapol ran away.

Because of the rumor that "eating two Devil Fruits would be extremely risky," she didn't eat them like the others, but instead hid them in the crown on her head.

Wow, what a coincidence!

Does this fulfill the legend that Devil Fruits choose their own masters?

Or is this a reward from fate for his thorough eradication of evil?

Xia Nuo picked it up casually.

Robin, curious, also came over. With a walking encyclopedia by his side, he didn't hesitate and immediately handed it over:

"So, Robin, can you tell exactly what kind of Devil this is?"

"Let me see."

Robin took the fruit, frowned, and examined it for a while before saying, "Judging from the pattern, it can be basically confirmed that it is the Snow-Snow Fruit, a Logia-type fruit."
