One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 228 Kuma and Katakuri! A Tribute to the World! Ivan Returns Home!

The residents of Whole Cake Island initially kept their distance from this newly opened clinic.

After all, everyone knows that the least valuable people in the entire world are Her Majesty the Queen's husbands.

Generally, the day Her Majesty the Queen gives birth is the day those princes are ousted.

Those who are lucky will be deported, while those who are unlucky will be killed.

At first, the people of Whole Cake Island thought that the new bear prince didn't understand his place and was doing some inexplicable things instead of enjoying his time.

However, after the first person who went there for treatment returned refreshed, people realized that His Highness the Prince truly possessed an extraordinary healing ability.

As a result, this small clinic gradually became very popular.

The price of such a bustling business is...

After closing the clinic door, Xiong turned around.

A huge red bubble floated in front of him, its top touching the ceiling and its bottom deformed from being squeezed on the ground.

The Paw-Paw Fruit's power can bring out all the pain and injury inside the human body.

But these wounds won't disappear on their own; someone has to bear them, otherwise they'll soon return to their original state.

So now is the time to deal with them!

The bear took a deep breath and took two steps forward.

His size was exceptionally large compared to that of an ordinary person, but at this moment, he appeared quite small in front of this bubble.

In the past, when treating the elderly in the Kingdom of Sorbe, the accumulated pain bubbles had never been as large as they are now.

The bear pursed its lips, then resolutely stretched out its hands toward the bubble.

Both hands plunged deep into the bubbles.

then.

"Uhhhhhhh!!"

The bear's body trembled violently, and an uncontrollable scream rang out.

But the next moment, the bear clenched its teeth tightly, desperately trying to prevent the scream from getting out.

At the same time, his skin cracked, and blood immediately flowed out.

The bodies of the Bakaria are indeed exceptionally strong, but no matter how strong they are, they are not truly immortal.

It may not be a big deal to suffer the pain of just one person, but it is a completely different story when it involves ten, dozens, or even hundreds of people!

As the red bubble continued to shrink, the bear's body trembled violently.

Fresh blood kept dripping down, even forming a small puddle.

When the bubbles completely disappeared, the bear was lying motionless on the ground, which was covered in blood.

"Ho...ho..."

He was breathing heavily like a dying beast, as if he would die at any moment.

Even so, his gaze remained calm and gentle.

It seems that he did not feel any pain.

That's it.

"Oh dear, you managed to turn treating someone's illness into this mess. It seems you're definitely not a qualified doctor."

The door had been pushed open at some point, and Katakuri strolled in slowly, arms crossed.

Looking at the bear lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "I've never seen a guy like you before. You can do this without asking for anything in return."

"You really can die."

Xiong remained silent for a long time before his voice slowly broke through.

"Perhaps it would be better if I were dead."

If he had not been born, his father's identity as a member of the Bakalia tribe would not have been exposed, and his father and mother would not have died.

If I hadn't come into this world, I wouldn't have experienced so much pain and suffering.

But, Ginny...

"Would it be better to die?"

Katakuri raised an eyebrow. "I see. In order to satisfy his twisted sense of guilt, he was willing to sacrifice his own life to heal the pain of others."

"You may choose to die, but those you healed will carry the burden of your life and feel guilty for the rest of their lives."

"Seriously, all you ever think about is yourself."

The bear's previously calm eyes finally trembled.

Am I really that despicable?

wrong.

not like this!
It's just because I've suffered so much that I don't want others to be burdened by pain!
"But you can't die."

Katakuri rubbed his chin.

This guy has a strong self-destructive tendency, which is even more pronounced after being forcibly taken by his mother.

Use your brain, Katakuri. If it were Roja, what would he say?

Katakuri's eyes lit up immediately. "You don't want your child to be bullied in the future, do you?"

child?

The bear's pupils finally dilated in shock.

To be honest, after being brought here, I didn't suffer any physical torture; at most, I fractured my pelvis.

However, the mental anguish is equally indescribable.

Not only was the boy's pure love trampled underfoot, but the very thing he had always resisted—passing on his bloodline—was also forced to happen.

He had a child.

It was inside that woman's stomach.

Although it shouldn't have been born, the child is innocent and should not be implicated in any way.

The bear fell silent, unable to utter a word.

Hit the bullseye!

Katakuri smiled smugly.

He certainly wouldn't do anything to his future younger brother or sister, but that didn't stop him from using it to threaten this extremely kind guy.

"From now on, just stay on Whole Cake Island obediently."

Katakuri said, "Isn't this place more prosperous and peaceful than 99% of the countries on the high seas?"

Even a bear couldn't refute that statement.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of Whole Cake Island, he discovered that this evil kingdom, which he had initially thought was ruled by pirates, was actually surprisingly peaceful and prosperous.

The presence of Homies largely replaced manual labor, and their tireless efforts enabled this country to achieve productivity far exceeding that of other countries at sea.

The only thing residents of this country have to give up is probably two months of their lifespan each year.
It sounds cruel at first, but upon closer inspection, is it really like that?

Xiong compared the ordinary residents of the Kingdom of Sorbe, who were struggling on the poverty line to pay the taxes on the Heavenly Gold, to whether they were truly as happy as the residents of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand.
After a long silence, Xiong could only nod earnestly, "I understand."

"very good,"

Katakuri nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he added meaningfully, "If you're very dissatisfied with your mother, then wait a little longer."

Kuma raised his head somewhat blankly, looking up at Katakuri with surprise. What did this guy mean?
the other side.

Ryder left without hesitation.

What a heartless man.

As he sighed with emotion, Roya returned to his loyal City of Calamity, a floating island that had come all the way from Egghead Island to fetch him.

"Boss! So what exactly happened after the live stream was interrupted?"

Upon returning to the city of natural disaster, the officials eagerly greeted them, almost all of them with anxious anticipation on their faces.

"It's nothing much. After we dealt with the Five Elders, that guy Im arrived."

Luo Ya simply shrugged, speaking casually and easily.

"Im!!"

Teach's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, "That guy actually went himself?"

"Didn't the Boss already say that he's already taught the Five Elders a lesson?"

Dylan's face was full of amazement, his emotions conveyed with great intensity. "Truly worthy of being the Boss! The Five Elders' strength is probably quite extraordinary!"

Although he had never seen the Five Elders in action and had no idea what kind of strength they possessed, that didn't stop him from showering them with praise.

Doflamingo couldn't help but glance at Dylan again.

That's why Dylan was able to become the head steward of the Disaster Company.

However, Teach's flattery skills were in no way inferior. He immediately exclaimed with a look of amazement, "No wonder your bounty has been raised to five billion! The newspapers are saying that Roger is dead, and now it's your era!"

"Hey, it's not that great!"

Roya waved his hand seriously, "The Five Elders are nothing special. They're just people with Conqueror's Haki, Mythical Zoan type, and immortality. Roger and Uncle Shiki could probably take on three of them. I only managed to take on two more than them!" Bege and Doflamingo's lips twitched at the same time.

Really good at pretending.

"So, Boss,"

Abel asked, "Just what kind of power does Im possess?"

"This time, that guy only possessed the body of a god knight,"

"What's being displayed probably isn't real power, but it's still quite exaggerated," Roya said.

"In a direct confrontation, there is probably no one in the world who could be a match for that incarnation."

"It's actually that strong?"

Teach couldn't help but gasp. In other words, even the Boss who defeated Roger believed he was no match for Im's incarnation?

Just how strong has Im's true form become?

Hard to imagine.

No wonder even Joey Boy couldn't handle this demon king; he had to be left for the next generation to deal with!
"There's probably no chance of challenging that guy in the short term,"

Roya casually replied, "But there's no need to worry about it."

He raised his head and gazed at the sky filled with a faint black mist. "Surpassing that guy is inevitable."

“Of course!”

Barrett solemnly echoed, "Boss, you will naturally rise above the entire world sooner or later!"

No one sees anything wrong with this.

After all, Boss, who is only sixteen years old this year, already has the strength to defeat Roger!
At his rate of progress, how strong will he be in five years? And in ten years?
Let alone Im, even if Joy Boy were to be resurrected and team up with that guy, sooner or later the Boss would surpass them!

"alright,"

Luo Ya clapped his hands. "The best of times has arrived, and we must all work hard to contribute to this era!"

"Have all weapons factories increase production. In the future, weapons will be the scarcest resource in this world!"

How can pirates go to sea without a suitable weapon?
Without sufficiently sophisticated weapons, what would they use to plunder and pillage? What would they use to kill and set fires?
Roya thought for a moment and then said, "Let's also lower the price of weapons. We need to be considerate of the difficulties faced by new pirates who have just set sail. Anyway, we no longer need to rely on selling weapons to make money, so let's consider it a way of giving back to society and strive to ensure that all pirates have weapons available, and good weapons at that!"

After hearing Roya's words, Teach couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart, "As expected of the Boss, you are so generous!"

"I have taken too much from this world,"

Luo Ya sighed deeply, "It's time to give back."

"Hahaha! Boss, you still love this world too much!"

Loki laughed until his stomach hurt.

"Who doesn't know about this?"

Luo Ya looked utterly disappointed.

Then he suddenly remembered something and looked at Abel, "I almost forgot, Abel, I brought you a gift."

As he spoke, he pulled the first generation Kitetsu from his waist and handed it to Abel.

"This is!"

As a master swordsman, Abel immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this sword upon seeing it.

He carefully took the knife from Roya's hand, then solemnly gripped the hilt and drew the sharp blade from the scabbard Roya had temporarily provided.

Abel's eyes lit up immediately. "A cross-shaped blade, a flame-patterned steel blade, and this eerie aura... Boss, is this the Onikiri?"

Roya nodded slightly. "The Supreme Grade Swords of the Twelve, the Demon Sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, I snatched it from the Five Elders."

"Demon sword?"

Abel tentatively gripped the hilt of the Onikiri, and immediately sensed the strangeness of the sword in his hand.

It is rejecting itself!

However, precisely because of this, Abel revealed an excited smile, as if she had just spotted a predator. "Thank you so much, Boss! I will tame it as soon as possible!"

"Ah."

Roya nodded in satisfaction. "Don't disappoint me. Try your best to forge this sword into a black blade."

Black knife...

Abel's eyes flickered.

Without Conqueror's Haki, forging a black sword would be extremely difficult.

Even so, if one could fully master this sword, it would be enough to catch up with Barrett, who could already mobilize Conqueror's Haki through the remains of Enma, right?

Not long after that.

South China Sea, Kingdom of Sorbey.

The three of them walked through the dilapidated village.

All three were covered by cloaks to conceal their figures.

With his large face, Ivankov swaggered ahead, "Hehe! I wonder how Ginny and Bear are doing! After all these years, they might be married by now, and they might even have kids!"

"That kind of thing is fine anyway,"

Crocodile, following behind Ivankov, said irritably, "After today, we'll go our separate ways!"

"Huh? Crocodile, aren't we comrades?"

Ivankov turned around in disbelief.

"Who are your companions?"

Crocodile said in a harsh tone.

He had really had enough of this.

Ivankov used various methods to coerce and entice him into joining the Self-Defense Forces every day.

Go now!
"Alright, Ivan, if Mr. Crocodile is unwilling, let's not force him."

Dorrag couldn't help but speak up.

He felt that Ivankov had gone a bit too far.

"That would be such a shame."

Ivankov sighed.

The strength of the Self-Reliant Army is still too weak; it is far, far away from changing the world.

However, he quickly cheered up again.

I'll be seeing Bear Cub and Ginny soon, I can't let them see me looking so down—

"Is that your older brother?"

An excited, trembling voice, tinged with disbelief, rang out.

Ivankov suddenly looked up, his eyes also filled with excitement.

He saw the girl in front of him clearly.

As they've grown up, not a trace of their former childishness remains on their faces.

However, Ivankov recognized her at a glance.

"Ginny!!"

Hot tears welled up in his eyes instantly, and Ivankov spun around like a top and pounced on her.

"Big brother!"

The beautiful pink-haired woman, Ginny, Ivankov's younger sister, also greeted Ivankov with tears in her eyes.

The brother and sister, reunited after a long separation, embraced each other tightly.

"No way?"

Crocodile couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this.

Are they siblings?

impossible?

They're definitely not related by blood, right?

How could an alien have such a beautiful sister?
"Big brother! You're finally back!"

Ginny sobbed uncontrollably in Ivankov's arms, "You're finally back!!"

Ok?
Ivankov realized something was wrong.

Ginny's reaction didn't seem like she was crying tears of joy.

and--

"Ginny, what's wrong? What happened? And where's Bear Cub? Isn't he with you?"

"Bear Cub, Bear Cub, he's been kidnapped!"

"what?"
