Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 294 Reencounter with Bonney, the Whitebeard Pirates' Determination

Six months ago, in the projection of the Marineford War, Bonney, who had gone to sea to find her father, finally found the person she had been longing for day and night.

When she saw the bear, she burst into tears of joy, overjoyed to finally see her father again.

But when she discovered that her father had been transformed into a ruthless war machine, killing indiscriminately and mechanically like his clones, she burst into tears and wept uncontrollably.

It's all that guy's fault!

She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and after the grief, her heart was filled with rage.

It must be Vegapunk who transformed her father into this state. Her father was such a gentle person, but now he has become like this. She absolutely cannot forgive him. She must find Vegapunk and make him turn her father back!

So, immediately after the Marineford War, she led the Bonney Pirates to the New World, gathering information while searching for clues from her memories of Egghead Island to find Vegapunk's location.

However, due to the extremely secluded location of Egghead Island, after nearly half a year, she has only roughly confirmed which sea area Egghead Island is located in, and it will take some time to find its exact location.

Just as she was leading the Bonney Pirates to search that area, they encountered a group of pirates on the way. Although they eventually defeated the pirates who attacked them, their pirate ship was severely damaged and could no longer continue sailing at sea.

That's fine, they can still find a way to solve this problem.

But misfortune never comes singly. Before they could even begin to act, the sky and earth suddenly changed color, thunder rumbled, and dozens of sea tornadoes shot into the sky from the sea. One of them came right up from under their ship, and the unparalleled power of nature instantly lifted their ship into the air, where it was then torn to pieces by the violent force.

After that, Bonnie had no memory of anything.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a plank of wood just big enough for her to lie on, drifting on the calm sea.

Looking around, there was no one in sight. Her crew members had all disappeared, leaving her all alone in the world.

Suddenly suffering such a devastating blow, even a mentally strong adult would break down and cry, let alone a child as young as eleven like Bonnie.

So Bonnie, unsurprisingly, burst into tears at sea, crying so hard that it seemed as if only her cries could be heard throughout the world.

Incredibly, Bonnie stopped crying in just ten minutes, wiped away her tears, pursed her lips, and looked determined.

She didn't know if her crew members were all dead, and she had no way to find them, but she knew that she had to find Vegapunk and turn her father back into a human. Only in this way could she repay the kindness of these uncles who had gone to great lengths to accompany her on her voyage to find her father, who were like family to her.

Because she is a Devil Fruit user and cannot swim, all she can do is tear off a small piece from the plank and use it as a paddle to propel herself in a certain direction.

However, this method of travel was too slow and too physically demanding. Before she could find an island to settle on, she was already exhausted, and her body reverted from her adult form back to that of a child.

Then, lacking food and exhausted from hunger, she finally fainted and could only drift with the waves, floating to some unknown place.

After Wukong pointed to the right and exclaimed in surprise, everyone else looked over.

"Huh? It actually looks like a person."

Two hundred meters to their right, on the sea, a petite body was rising and falling with the waves, seemingly unconscious.

"A survivor? He looks like a little kid."

Wukong and his friends never turn a blind eye to those in distress at sea; they always try their best to help them, especially since this particular person in distress appears to be just a child.

Soon, the Dream Chaser arrived, and Wukong, who had already swum to the side of the stranded people, carried them back to the ship.

"He really is just a little kid!"

On the deck, a crowd gathered in a circle, staring in astonishment at the stranded man lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

The person in distress was a little girl with long pink hair, wearing adult clothes that didn't fit her size, which looked very strange.

The little girl was pale, and her lips were dry and cracked, clearly indicating a severe lack of moisture.

"She's severely dehydrated and needs an IV drip of saline solution immediately," Robin said with a serious expression after examining the little girl.

Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately went to the cabin and retrieved saline solution.

Then, under Robin's guidance, the little girl began receiving an IV drip, and her condition finally stabilized.

"Don't you guys think she looks familiar?"

After the little girl's condition stabilized, Nami stared at the little girl's face, frowning and looking suspicious.

For some reason, she felt that the little girl's face was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"I feel the same way." Wukong scratched his head. Although he had once been unable to distinguish between a man's and a woman's face because he had never seen a woman before, it did not mean that he was face-blind.

He also felt that the little girl in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

"Whether you know her or not, you need to get her to her room to rest right now. It's not good for her to be out in the sun," Inuarashi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, you're right." Nami nodded, then gently picked up the little girl, preparing to take her to her room.

As she picked her up, a strand of wet hair that had been stuck to the little girl's face slipped down, revealing something hidden underneath.

"Huh? What's this?!"

Nami paused, her eyes fixed on the golden semi-circular stud that was showing on the little girl's face.

It was as if an electric current had flashed through her mind, piercing through the fog of confusion she had just been shrouded in.

She had only ever seen this kind of golden, semi-circular stud on one person's face: Bonnie, with whom they had spent some time.

The moment she thought of this person, she immediately realized that the sense of familiarity she felt from the little girl in front of her came from Bonnie!

Then think about it again, Bonnie has the ability to manipulate other people's ages, so isn't it a good explanation that Bonnie is currently in the form of a child?

"It's Bonnie!"

She immediately shouted it out, attracting the attention of others.

"Bonnie?"

Goku, Sanji, Robin, and others who knew Bonney were stunned for a moment before their eyes widened, while Namur, Inuarashi, and others who didn't know Bonney looked puzzled and curious.

"Is she Bonney?" Goku moved closer and examined the little girl's face again.

"Now that you mention it, it really does seem like her." Wukong scratched his head.

"It's definitely her! There's no mistake!" Nami said with absolute certainty this time.

"But why is she here all alone?" Wukong wondered.

Since the incident of beating up a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago, they parted ways with Bonney and then completely lost contact with each other.

Unexpectedly, they would suddenly meet each other here after more than half a year.

"I don't know, we'll have to wait until she wakes up to tell us." Nami shook her head.

Judging from Bonnie's condition, she must have been adrift at sea alone for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't be so severely dehydrated.

What about her crew? Did they get separated due to an insurmountable maritime disaster, or did they get separated due to other reasons? We'll have to wait for Bonnie to wake up and tell them.

"Alright, we need to hurry, we can't dawdle any longer." Nami said in a deep voice, picked up Bonney and Robin and hurriedly walked into the cabin, then quickly came out alone again.

As lightning crackled around her, the Dream Chaser sped off again, heading towards Cannes Island.

The atmosphere aboard the Moby Dick was quite somber.

In a huge room, the white-bearded man lay on a large bed, with various IV tubes inserted into his body and an oxygen tube in his nostrils, surrounded by various medical instruments.

Marco, accompanied by several doctors, solemnly examined Whitebeard's various indicators. Each time they saw another indicator that was far above the healthy level, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive.

After an unknown amount of time, Marco emerged from the room with a somber expression. The elders, including Ace, Jozu, and Vista, who had been waiting outside, immediately surrounded him, anxiously asking, "How is it, Marco? Is Dad alright?"

Marco didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ace and the others, then said to Jozu, "Jozu, call the other captains over. We need to have a meeting."

.

Five minutes later, in a spacious conference room, all the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered, except for the vacant fourth division captain and the eighth division captain Namur, who was not present.

This is also the core strength of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Marco, everyone's here. Tell us how Dad is doing?" Kingo, the rather impatient captain of the 11th Division, asked first after everyone had arrived.

While the other captains remained silent, they all stared intently at Marco, clearly wanting to know the answer to the question as well.

Marco sat in the first seat to the left of the head of the table, his fingers interlaced and his elbows resting on the table. Upon hearing Jin Gudo's question, he snapped out of his reverie, glanced at everyone, his face expressionless, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, my father's condition is very bad."

boom!!!

When this short sentence reached everyone's ears, it was like pouring boiling water into a frying pan, and the entire conference room erupted in chaos.

"How could this happen?!"

"What?! This, this..."

'

"No, I absolutely refuse to believe that anything has happened to Dad!"

"Damn it! Dad, he..."

'

Whether they were hot-tempered or calm, they all showed the same anxiety and unease. They couldn't believe, nor could they accept, that their father had a serious health problem.

Knock knock!!

"Everyone, calm down!"

Marco tapped the table a few times, which gradually calmed the noisy conference room down.

Marco was arguably the one who knew Whitebeard's physical condition best, and his anxiety and agitation were no less than anyone else's, yet he remained the most composed.

He glanced at everyone and said slowly, "My father's health is not good, but it has stabilized for the time being. However, given his condition, he definitely cannot continue to fight in two days. So the purpose of me gathering everyone here is to hear your thoughts on our decisive battle with the Beast Pirates in two days."

Whitebeard's physical condition was already poor. After his battle with Kaido, although he did not suffer any fatal injuries, his internal injuries were severely aggravated. Many of these internal injuries, which had been treated with medication but had not yet manifested, suddenly erupted after the battle, putting Whitebeard's life in a very critical condition.

Although Whitebeard's condition stabilized thanks to the emergency treatment from Marco and several doctors, he fell into a deep coma, making it almost impossible for him to wake up and participate in the final battle two days later.

Of course, even if Whitebeard could wake up, given his physical condition, it would be difficult for him to continue fighting.

So no matter how you look at it, Whitebeard will be absent from the final battle against the Beasts Pirates two days from now.

Without Whitebeard, the most essential and core figure, the Whitebeard Pirates will obviously be significantly weaker, and their danger level will increase dramatically when facing Kaido and his Beasts Pirates.

This is why Marco summoned all the core members; he wanted to know their thoughts on this decisive battle—whether they wanted to retreat temporarily or fight bravely to the end.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood what he meant.

"Is that even a question? Even if Dad can't act, he still has us! We'll do whatever it takes to send Kaido and his Beasts Pirates flying!"

Joz, who is usually not very talkative, was the first to speak, his eyes filled with determination.

"That's right! Dad has never backed down in front of the enemy. How can we tarnish Dad's reputation? Even without Dad, we can still defeat the enemy!" Ace said resolutely.

"Don't forget, Kaido and his gang killed many of our families and slaughtered everyone on Rona Island. For that reason alone, we absolutely have to fight this battle!"

The other captains also spoke up one after another, their faces filled with determination. They all expressed the same message: they must fight this battle, and they must win!

As members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they have never feared anyone. The renowned Whitebeard Pirates rely not only on Whitebeard, but also on their powerful captains. Each of these captains is a well-known pirate on the sea. It is because of them that the Whitebeard Pirates have been able to develop into such a formidable force.

Therefore, even if Whitebeard cannot take action, they will not fear the enemy, even if the enemy is one of the Four Emperors, who is quite powerful.

Moreover, these men are all loyal to Whitebeard, who has fought his way to the title of the world's strongest man. He never backs down in the face of any danger, and his wounds are always on the front, never on the back. If they were to retreat from this battle because the enemy is too strong, wouldn't they be tarnishing Whitebeard's reputation and disgracing his name?

They will absolutely not allow this to happen!

So for this reason alone, they absolutely must confront and defeat the enemy in two days!
