Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 49 There's Only One Disease on the High Seas! (Please Read On! Please Vote!)

The three treatment options proposed by Storm at this time.

Based on all the intelligence information he currently possessed, he comprehensively analyzed and identified the three most likely solutions to cure "Azure Jade Scales".

First and foremost is Trafalgar D. Water Law and his Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit.

The power of the [Operation Fruit] is undeniable.

The World Government alone is willing to offer "5 billion Berries" to purchase the "Operation Fruit".

This alone demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

Some people even jokingly say—

The price of the "Operation Fruit" is 5 billion.

Trafalgar Law's bounty is three billion.

After removing the additional value of the [Surgery Fruit], and after some additions and subtractions...

Trafalgar Law's bounty is actually - "negative two billion Berries"!

But overall...

The [Op-Op Fruit] has a very powerful ability to treat diseases.

According to Storm.

Even if Trafalgar Law cannot cure Jewelry Bonney's "Jade Scales" ailment at this stage.

Law could at least alleviate Jewelry Bonney's symptoms through the "injury-free cutting" property of the Op-Op Fruit.

That is, to use the "Operation Fruit" to artificially remove the "jewel scales" that grew on Jewel Bonney's body.

Although there is no way to completely cure "Jade Scales", it is still an effective way to curb them.

Therefore, Storm proposed the "Vegapunk" treatment approach.

On the normal timeline.

Vegapunk is the "doctor" who successfully cured Jewelry Bonney's "Jade Scale" ailment.

This genius scientist is hailed as the "world's greatest mind"—literally the greatest mind.

He is not only a scientist, but also a highly skilled doctor.

Vegapunk is definitely capable of healing Jewelry Bonney's Jade Scales!

As for the North Sea's Germa 66.

Storm brought them up because he felt that Germa 66 was like a "weakened version" of Vegapunk.

Other abilities are excluded.

Germa 66—or rather, Vinsmoke Judge.

Vinsmoke Judge's skills in human modification and genetic engineering are not necessarily inferior to Vegapunk's.

This skill can be used to treat Jewelry Bonney's "Jade Scales".

of course.

Aside from the [Operation Fruit], Vegapunk, and Germa 66.

There are other rescue methods available at sea.

Storm remembers that the bear once roamed the sea, searching for a way to save Joelle Bonney.

But what kind of people did he hire...?

The natives of the Kingdom of Torino in the South China Sea; the human imitators of a sinister and terrifying kingdom; the inhabitants of the future kingdom of Baltimore; the wolves of the Tequila Kingdom in the East China Sea; the small sky island of Visalia, which studies weather; and even Peach Island and the Boeing Islands...

(Actually, these are the islands where the Straw Hat Pirates train.)

Storm didn't understand at all.

Big Bear searched so many places, but couldn't find the right one!

There are many famous doctors on the sea.

There are also quite a few Devil Fruit users who possess healing abilities.

For example, Crocus, the ship's doctor for the Roger Pirates who stayed in Reverse Mountain and Twin Capes;

For example, there's Doctor Kureha, the "witch" who lives in seclusion in the Drum Kingdom and whose life is shrouded in mystery;

For example, Mansherry, the princess of the Tontatta Kingdom in the New World and a user of the Healing Fruit.

For example, Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and the user of the Phoenix Fruit...

The abilities or techniques these people possess may also be able to treat "Azure Jade Scales".

Storm didn't know if Big Bear had contacted these people...

However, he didn't mention the "doctors" and "ability users" mentioned later.

Because in comparison.

Storm still felt that the three directions of "Operation Fruit", Vegapunk and Germa 66 were more reliable.

"Germa 66, the Op-Op Fruit, Vegapunk..."

As Big Bear listened to Storm's words, he felt as if a ray of dawn had fallen from the sky, illuminating his bleak and miserable life.

Over the past year.

The bears were struggling through their days in a state of bewilderment and anxiety.

Because he searched for every doctor he could find.

Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the doctors had never seen "Qingyulin".

The only doctor who had ever seen "Azure Jade Scales" told him that the disease was incurable!

Big Bear never expected that he would inexplicably encounter a powerful stranger today.

The other party not only recognized the stubborn disease "Azure Jade Scales", but also knew the accurate treatment plan for "Azure Jade Scales"!

"Bonnie! There's hope for you!"

Big Bear picked up Bonnie and put her aside.

Immediately afterwards, he prostrated himself in admiration of Storm.

"Thank you for reminding me! I'm extremely grateful!"

Big Bear expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Storm with a humble "dogeza" (bowing).

Bonnie, who was standing to the side, saw her father's posture and wanted to kneel down as well.

"No kneeling allowed!"

Storm glanced at him.

The clay doll that Bonnie had just tossed aside immediately transformed into a beanbag chair.

This white, soft beanbag chair opens its "big mouth" and gently picks it up.

Bonnie was then pulled to sit down on the beanbag chair.

The little girl couldn't understand what Storm was saying, but she could sense his kindness, and a smile appeared on her face.

She lay down on the soft clay sofa, jumping around and laughing happily.

Big Bear was initially a little nervous.

But upon hearing Bonnie's laughter, his heart, that of an old father, melted instantly.

"Tyrant, don't thank me too soon."

Storm's voice once again drew the bear's attention back.

"The three solutions I just mentioned all have certain difficulties."

Just like Vegapunk.

Since the (forced) disbandment of the MADS organization, Vegapunk has become a member of the World Government.

This world's first scientist now resides on the island of Punk Hazard in the New World.

The current Pang Island is not the "Ice and Fire Ruins Island" that will be a few years later.

It serves as the "base camp" of the world's leading scientists.

The World Government has deployed a large number of defensive forces on Punk Hazard Island.

If Kuma continues on to Punk Hazard in search of Vegapunk...

Then he will definitely be discovered by the World Government!

As for Trafalgar Law and Germa 66.

The former is a lone wolf and also has a submarine, making it extremely difficult to find any trace of his activities.

The latter is easier to discuss.

Germa 66 is essentially a "mercenary kingdom".

As long as you have money, everything else is negotiable.

But the problem is...

Storm looked around at the small, narrow, dark chapel and asked from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you have money, Big Bear?"

Medical treatment requires payment.

The glimmer of hope that had just ignited in Da Xiong's heart was extinguished instantly by the cold reality of the problem.

There is only one disease on the high seas, and that is "poverty".

no doubt.

Big Bear is the kind of patient who suffers from "poverty disease".

Moreover, he was terminally ill.

"Out of a sense of morality, I don't want to see a poor little girl die in front of me."

"Stromb said calmly."

"Therefore, I have provided you with three methods to treat 'Jade Scales'."

The silent bear raised its head and stared at Storm.

"However, all I can offer right now is a 'method'."

Storm continued.

"If you want to know more details, or if you want me to provide other assistance..."

"That's a different price!"

Upon hearing this, Big Bear nodded silently.

Just then, the image of another man flashed through his mind.

Dorag!

Big Bear said slowly.

"I will seek help from others."

As if guessing what the bear was thinking, Storm suddenly asked.

"You mean Emporio Ivankov?"

"Do you know Ivankov?"

"Ivankov is my friend."

Storm raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"However, don't even think about going to see him."

"Because Ivankov is now imprisoned in Impel Down."

Impel Down?

Big Bear's eyes widened; of course he knew where that place was.

"How could it be?! Dorag——"

"Ha! Dragon? That revolutionary considered by the World Government to be 'the world's most heinous criminal'?"

Storm sneered, interrupting Big Bear.

"Although it's not good to talk behind someone's back, I still advise you to stay away from that revolutionary as much as possible, Big Bear."

A hint of anger flashed across Big Bear's face.

Dorrag was his comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him for many years!

But Storm, on the other side, was also someone who had been kind to him...

Thinking of this, Big Bear suppressed his displeasure.

Why?

"Why? Ha!"

Storm seemed to have heard a joke and chuckled again.

What were the revolutionaries doing when Ivankov was imprisoned in Impel Down?

"What were the revolutionaries doing when your daughter was suffering from jaundice?"

"What's more, what was this 'world's most vicious criminal' doing while Ginny was being taken away by the World Government?"

Have you heard the story of the captain of the Sun Pirates?

Big Bear was stumped by Storm's barrage of questions.

To be honest.

Since Bonney's birth, Kuma has left the Revolutionary Army.

Because of Bonney's "Jade Scales," he hadn't paid attention to news about Dragon and the Revolutionary Army for a long time.

But from the moment the bloody reality was laid bare before the bear.

Big Bear had already realized it.

His friend, his comrade-in-arms, Dorrag.

It seems it's not as reliable as he imagined...

Big Bear asked hesitantly.

"You just said—Fischer Tiger?"

"right!"

Storm nodded.

"Fischer Tiger dared to climb Mary Geoise to liberate slaves, sparking an unprecedented slave emancipation movement."

"What was that revolutionary you knew doing when his right-hand men were captured by the Celestial Dragons?"

"The world's most vicious criminal? He's not even as good as a fish-man!"

Storm genuinely respected anyone who dared to dedicate themselves to the revolutionary cause.

But the problem is.

Who did Monkey D. Dragone overthrow?
