One Piece: Who still has dreams?

Kureha said calmly, "Even I can only try to stop Bonnie's condition from worsening for now. Don't have too high expectations."

That's what the old lady said, but Redio knew that for the past six months, she had been working almost day and night on the research of the Jade Scale's illness, which had even delayed the progress of teaching her apprentice Chopper.

Ten months ago, my radar detected Bonnie's mission.

The estimated difficulty is 3 stars.

Clearly, according to the system's assessment, if one possesses approximately 3 stars of overall strength, then as long as one plays it safe, avoids going to places one shouldn't go, and doesn't provoke people one shouldn't provoke, it should be enough to find the big bear who is currently traveling around the world seeking medical treatment for his daughter Bonnie...

Unfortunately, even Kureha, with her divine medical skills, was somewhat helpless in the face of Bonnie's rare and intractable illness, which was created by the Five Elders.

We've brought Bonnie for physical exams and tests many times, putting in a lot of effort for over half a year, but we still haven't found a truly feasible cure.

"We don't need so many people,"

Before entering the bedroom, Kureha waved for people to leave, but said to the short old woman, "Little girl, you stay. Remember the things to be careful about later."

As for Redio, he offered to help. Nami, concerned for Bonney, shamelessly followed them in. Only the two muscular fishermen remained, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Hey!"

Bonnie dragged a wooden bucket out of the room; there were some simple bear graffiti on the outside.

"Snapped."

With a snap of his fingers, Redio conjured a stream of pure hot water that flowed into the wooden tub. At the same time, he reached out with his other hand to the large bed beside him, and a heavy medical kit appeared on the bed.

I didn't use the system to carry those shopping bags because my backpack was already full...

Kureha opened the medical kit, revealing three rows of 30 glass bottles filled with green liquid, as well as another fist-sized white bottle. Since the medicine was homemade, each bottle had only a simple label attached.

"Eat this."

Kureha took out a small medicine bottle, opened it, and shook out a golden pill.

"Ah~~"

Bonnie sat obediently on the little stool, tilted her head back, and opened her mouth.

She fell ill at a very young age and has become accustomed to being a patient, as well as to listening to the advice of the adults around her when it comes to treatment.

"It's so bitter." Bonnie frowned, but still swallowed it.

"Take one pill every three days. Do not eat for three hours after taking it." Kureha handed the small medicine bottle to the short old lady Connie.

Connie observed and memorized the characteristics of the pills repeatedly, her thin hands gripping the small medicine bottle tightly, and she slowly nodded.

"Crash..."

Kureha took out a glass bottle and poured the green liquid inside into a steaming wooden tub. "As for this, you need to use it every day. If there's no hot water, or even no water at all, just apply it directly to Bonnie's body, but you must apply it every day, understand?"

Connie strolled over, carefully examined the remaining 29 glass bottles containing green liquid in the medicine box, and slowly nodded.

"Now, go in and take a bath."

The hot water in the wooden tub had turned a deep green from the medicinal liquid. Kureha reached out to test the water temperature, then flicked a few drops of hot water onto Bonnie's forehead, who was filled with curiosity. "Soak for at least an hour."

……

When Redio left the room, the two muscular fishermen outside were dozing off on the church pews.

"Radio,"

Queen Mother Connie followed her out, her voice calm and gentle, "Are you going out?"

Since I'm already here, I might as well do a couple of quests here and there. What's wrong with that?

Redio said, "I plan to wander around the island."

Empress Dowager Wang slowly reminded him:

“During this time, occasionally people from the navy or the government will come to the island to investigate Big Bear… Big Bear eliminated the evil king who was trying to make a comeback and reclaim the country, but instead, they put a bounty on his head as a 'tyrant.' But thanks to this 'tyrant' label, their investigations on the island are just routine procedures, merely to appease their superiors. Reddio, if you encounter them, don't get into a conflict; just wait for them to leave on their own…”

Redio walked through the northern capital of the Kingdom of Sorbe and, sure enough, saw several people dressed in distinctive marine uniforms sitting and chatting in front of a shop on the street. These must be members of the Navy's criminal investigation department.

Just as Empress Dowager Connie said, because Kuma was falsely accused of being a tyrant, the Navy did not believe that he would care about this country that he had already "destroyed" and "abandoned".

Moreover, if they had seriously investigated and wanted to find information about the Great Bear, they should have gone to the impoverished south, not to this main city in the north...

Do these guys know the "Six Styles"?

Is it imposing?

Although they may seem like just a few low-ranking Marines, what if? Smoker might not be able to, but these people might be too—they're in different departments. Even if they aren't, they might know some acquaintances in other departments who know the Six Powers or Haki…

Redio watched them from afar, quickly completed a few easy tasks, and earned a total of 21 essences. Finally, he refrained from doing anything that might cause trouble for the place and turned back to the old church to the south.

-----------------

"No! It really won't work!"

The two muscular fishermen, their faces filled with panic, were determined to block the church doors and prevent them from leaving.

Dr. Dolly has gone mad! She's actually trying to take Bonnie out of the church!

Do you know how scorching the sun is outside?

They still vividly remember how Ginny died...

Bonnie is probably going to be turned into a human-shaped gem by the evil sun right here and now!

"Get out of the way."

Kureha said coldly, drawing two extremely sharp scalpels and pressing them against the necks of the two muscular fishermen. "I am her doctor. I said she can leave, so just do as I say. How dare you question my judgment?"

How could you do this!

Nami hugged Bonney and said to Kureha, "They're just concerned about Bonney, you don't have to be like this, do you?"

Kureha said calmly, "Do you know what happens when you keep a six or seven-year-old child in such a dark environment year-round? She'll suffer from severe vitamin deficiencies due to lack of sunlight, leading to rickets, a sharp decline in her immunity, and gradual deterioration of her eyesight..."

Going out in the sun will cause the disease to worsen rapidly.

But without sunshine all year round, the child's body couldn't withstand it on its own.

No wonder the local doctors had predicted before Dr. Doriel that little Bonnie wouldn't live past her 10th birthday... The two muscular men broke down in tears, and the short old lady Connie slowly walked up to them and said, "Make way."

"Queen Mother, do you really believe her..." The muscular fisherman was unwilling to give up. Big Bear had repeatedly warned him not to let Bonnie be exposed to the sun.

Connie said, "I believe in Reddio. And Reddio believes in her."

"Hehe." Kureha chuckled. "Little Bonnie, what do you say?"

"Bonnie?"

Nami noticed that Bonney seemed to be standing still and unwilling to go out, so she gently comforted her, "If you're scared, let's skip it for today, okay?"

Bonnie soaked in a medicinal bath for an hour, then changed into a black lace dress that Redio had bought for her, looking like a delicate and adorable doll.

Faced with everyone's various expressions of concern, she simply shook her head, refusing to go out, but also unwilling to explain why.

dong dong!

Suddenly there was a knock on the church door.

"What happened?" It was Redio's voice from outside the door. He quickly pushed the door open a crack, and the two muscular fishermen were pushed aside as if they were staggering.

“Bonnie took her medicine and took a medicinal bath, and Dr. Ku… Dr. Doriel said she can go out and get some sun now. But Bonnie herself doesn’t seem to dare to go out,” Nami summarized briefly for Redio.

"Is that so?" Redio squatted down in front of Bonnie, straightened her little dress, and asked, "Bonnie's scared? I don't believe it. Isn't that right?"

"hey-hey,"

Bonnie smiled and slapped Redio's face with both hands, asking, "Redio, I want you to take me out to get some sun, okay?"

“She…” Nami was surprised, but immediately realized what Bonney was doing.

Bonnie is asking you a quest: Hello, Sun!

Difficulty estimate: -

Reddio laughed and tapped Bonnie's forehead with his finger. "Kid, you're pretty good at reading people!"

Let's go!

Bonnie chuckled, opened the door wide, then grabbed Redio's hand tightly and skipped out of the dimly lit church.

"Waaah..." The two muscular fishermen watched Bonnie walk into the golden sunlight, feeling both terrified and deeply moved.

Nami followed Kureha outside and asked, "Are you really alright?"

Kureha said, "One hour at most each day. Got it?"

The short, elderly Connie followed slowly, nodding and saying, "Don't worry."

……

The moment Redio pulled Bonnie into the sunlight, a system notification appeared:

The group of seven, under the blazing sun, left the church for a walk and entered the woods to the south.
