One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 251 The Pain Should End!

In Loguetown, Roy begins special training in Conqueror's Haki under Garp's guidance.

On the high seas, the aftermath of Dressrosa continues.

The world is full of unpredictable changes.

But obviously.

For Dream Island, which was slowly floating under the moonlight and suspended in the sky, the situation at sea naturally had no impact.

In fact, a lively banquet is currently taking place on Dream Island.

"Ooooooo!"

At that moment, a lion radiating lightning was roaring.

"What's all the noise about? The meat isn't even cooked yet!"

In front of it, BABY5, dressed in a maid outfit and using her hand as a giant flamethrower to roast meat, rolled her eyes at it: "If you keep making noise, I'll beat you up!"

Lion: "Roar!"

"Huh? You mean I can't beat you? That was because of the Seastone handcuffs. You just wait and see."

BABY5's eyes widened.

So the lion decided not to argue with the tigress, and quietly sat down, wagging his tail and waiting.

After a while, the roasted meat was cooked, and as the aroma filled the air, the wild animals on the island cheered.

"Take it, take it—don't touch those over there, they're ours!"

BABY5 distributed the roasted meat to the happy beasts who gathered around, then picked up a few pieces and walked to the side.

"Bonnie, this one is yours."

"Lingling, these five skewers are made from your flesh, they're a dream creation, even your soul can eat them."

"Thank you, BABY5!" *N
A group of kids rushed over and started scrambling for the barbecue.

Seeing this, BABY5's lips curled into a slight smile.

"It's as lively as ever today."

At that moment, she heard a familiar voice.

She turned her head and saw Ke Li walking over from the side with a smile.

"It's alright. I didn't hunt much meat from 'Gourmet Dream' today, so a few little guys didn't come over."

BABY5 chimed in familiarly, "So you're the one who's finally done with your work?"

As she spoke, she handed Keli a skewer of grilled meat and a glass of juice.

"Well, I went to check on what's being cultivated in the Emerald Greenhouse recently, and while I was at it, I also lifted part of the 'veil' around the edge of the island."

"Mr. Di Tuhao is coming back."

Keli took the grilled meat and juice, and while enjoying the food, she casually explained.

"Bartholomew Bear."

As soon as she finished speaking, BABY5 naturally understood what she meant.

The main reason is that no one on the island, whether it's Wei Yang, Ke Li, or the dollheads, has ever intentionally hidden Xiong's identity.

So BABY5 already knew that 'Di Tu Hao', one of the twelve constellations, was Bartholomew Kuma, who was once nominated as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and was also the father of Bonney, the little girl on the island who suffered from the Blue Jade Disease.

To be honest, when I first heard the news, BABY5 was speechless.

After all, the young master she once served was just a Shichibukai.

The fact that someone of the Seven Warlords level couldn't even get a top-ranking position in the Twelve Constellations naturally left her with mixed feelings.

Not long ago, it seems that the bear received some order from the sheep and temporarily left Neverland.

It's easy to tell from Ke Li's words that he should be back soon.

"Tsk tsk. I really don't know what great things you twelve constellations have accomplished this time."

BABY5 couldn't help but sigh.

"It shouldn't have been anything major—I heard that his departure this time seems to be due to news about another constellation."

"Another constellation?"

"Hmm, it seems to be a major matter concerning the organization. I didn't ask any further questions."

As Ke Li said this, she also felt a little envious.

In fact, she also hoped to be able to accept some of these important tasks.

But
"Even if I asked, there's nothing I could do to help—this is all I can do right now."

She has a very clear understanding of herself.

She is a strong person, and she has worked hard to train after joining the Zodiac.

But ultimately, on this vast ocean, hard work doesn't always guarantee success.

She wasn't a born powerhouse, and she started cultivating too late.

So far, although she is one of the 'Stars', all she can do is some logistical work on Dream Island.

Although she didn't dislike these tasks, but...
"As expected, I'm still too useless."

She said so.

"Hey, don't make that face."

Seeing Ke Li's smiling face, but with a hint of sadness in it, BABY5 quickly comforted her.

"Besides, if you get stronger, won't I be kicked off the island?"

She pointed to herself: "After all, that Lord Wei Yang only allowed me to stay because he made me the 'guard' of the island."

What she said was precisely the identity she was playing on the island at that moment.

Yes—after being rescued by the Rat in Dressrosa, she naturally chose to return to Neverland.

However, given her past identity, it was impossible for Wei Yang to directly grant her the duties of a constellation.

Therefore, her current identity is a 'guardian' of Neverland, specifically responsible for protecting the safety of Keli and the children.

"That's only temporary."

Upon hearing this, Ke Li smiled and said, "BABY5, you are very strong. Sooner or later you will be able to become a 'Star' and stand on your own."

"Oh, that's not necessary."

However, BABY5 clearly doesn't have that much ambition.

"I think it's good as it is now."

She was the same way when she was a member of the Don Quixote family—she didn't care about things like status and power.

She just wanted to be with her 'family'.

And there is no doubt about it.

For her now, Neverland is her new 'home'.

The girl in front of her, along with the children and mythical beasts, were her new family whom she had finally found after many years.

so.
"That's it."

She smiled and took a bite of meat, eating with relish: "All I need to do is protect you all." "But you won't need protection forever!"

But upon hearing this, Ke Li seemed to feel that she was being looked down upon.

"Lord Wei Yang has already said that the organization may distribute Devil Fruits in batches to the constellations under the command of the top officers in a while."

At this point, she also expressed some longing: "If I could obtain a powerful fruit, I could help Lord Wei Yang and Alan."

".ha?"

Upon hearing this, BABY5 raised an eyebrow, seemingly doubting whether she had misheard.

Given the strength of the twelve constellations, it's perfectly normal for them to acquire some Devil Fruits.

But what's with this bulk distribution?

Are Devil Fruits some kind of buy-one-get-one-free handmade product?
But it was precisely during their whispers that...

“In fact, you have already done me a great favor, Miss Collie.”

Accompanied by a crisp 'click' sound and a gentle voice in the air.

The bear's tall figure appeared beside the two of them.

"Mr. Bear!?"

Kori and BABY5 were naturally startled, but then they realized what was going on: "I didn't receive any information from the dream creatures. How did you get here?"

"Oh, sorry."

Speaking of this, Xiong apologized somewhat embarrassedly: "In order to sneak into the island and see the Bishuiyu, I 'swatted away' the light and scent reflected around me."

"It wasn't until I returned to the island that I remembered I needed to deactivate my powers."

As he spoke, BABY5 and Ke Li noticed that the bear's legs were even faintly translucent, slowly returning to normal.

As a result, Ke Li and BABY5's expressions also became strange.

They weren't surprised by the bear's abilities—after all, he had never hidden his strength and abilities when he was on Neverland, and they all knew that this star was extremely powerful.

But the problem is the bear's attitude.

"Is there some urgent intelligence?"

Both of them immediately realized this.

Xiong was usually a steady person who planned things out before making a decision.

But this time, he unusually lost his composure.

The meaning behind this is self-evident.

"Yes, that's very important intelligence."

Xiong did not hide anything: "I need to see Lord Weiyang immediately."

"Lord Wei Yang is in the cultivation room of the Jade Greenhouse. You can go directly there."

"Ke Li said quickly."

But it was precisely at this moment.
"Father!"

Cheers erupted.

The three turned around and saw Bonnie hopping and skipping towards them on her short legs.

"Father, you're back, cough cough."

After running to the three of them, she said a few words and then started coughing.

Seeing this, Xiong quickly bent down and picked up his daughter, looking at her with some concern: "Bonnie, how are you?"

"It's okay, I just ran a little too fast."

Bonnie chuckled, seemingly unconcerned: "Father, why don't you try this—Baby5's cooking is excellent!"

She handed a piece of roasted meat to the bear.

The bear ate his roasted meat while watching his daughter.

She has clearly become much more cheerful.

This was inevitable—after all, since arriving on Neverland, the life the father and daughter had lived was something they had never dared to imagine in the past few decades.

A life where you can laugh freely, without having to hide in dark corners—that's a life that only exists in dreams.

But although I became more cheerful.

But the crystal-like azure scales on Bonnie's face remained—the Damocles' sword that the bear never dared to relax its grip on.

And the bear was well aware of this.

Even with the Fountain of Youth on Neverland, Bonnie's vitality could remain strong.

However, the presence of the Jade Scales would continue to weaken Bonnie's body, and the pain she felt would persist.

She had simply grown accustomed to enduring it, and had even come to ignore its existence.

so.
"Dad is going to see Lord Wei Yang for a moment, and will come back to play with you in a little while."

Xiong gently patted his daughter's head and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Bonnie nodded repeatedly.

Watching this scene, BABY5 and Ke Li remained silent.

Especially BABY5—she always felt that her childhood was already very painful.

But after meeting Bear and Bonnie, she realized that people like her were not uncommon in this world; in fact, they were everywhere.

But it is precisely at this moment.
"Oh, Bear, you're back?"

Suddenly, the ground opened its eyes, and Wei Yang's voice rang out.

"Ah."

Xiong nodded and then said, "Lord Weiyang, Bei. Bishuiyu has important information and asked me to pass it on to you."

He said in a deep voice.

But then he heard Wei Yang say something he hadn't expected.

"Yes, I heard everything—but let's not rush this."

"Before we talk about the Water Jade, you should come to the Emerald Greenhouse first."

"And bring Bonnie and the other children along as well."

Wei Yang said this.

“Bonnie? And the other children?”*3
Xiong, BABY5, and Ke Li were all slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Ah."

Then they heard what Wei Yang said next.

"The leader has arrived—he asked me to tell you that the promise he made to you is now fulfilled."

Wei Yang said this with a smile.

"Bonnie's suffering should end."
