XX-level Hokage

At the age of 29, he joined the Self-Defense Forces along with Da Xiong.

After Zi Yong joined the revolutionary army, he served as the commander of the Eastern Army.

Ginny is an expert in theft, eavesdropping, and communications. During the God Canyon incident, she successfully stole a batch of Den Den Mushi (snail telephones), used her eavesdropping ability to learn about the tournament's prizes, and leaked information about the island to the outside world two weeks before the tournament began, which attracted the attention of Big Kid Rocks and Pirate Lord Roger.

Because of the similarities in their responsibilities, Kella paid close attention to Ginny's story.

But 14 years ago, Ginny's forces were annihilated by the World Government, and Ginny was forced to marry a Celestial Dragon. At that time, the Revolutionary Army was unable to organize a rescue because of its limited strength.

Two years later, Ginny gave birth to her daughter, Joelle Bonney, and died of Jade Scales that same year at the age of 39.

Like Ginny, Bear's background is also very tragic.

Forty-six years ago, Kuma was born in the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue. The World Government learned through the hospital that Kuma was a member of the Bakania race, so Kuma's father, Krupp, and Kuma himself became slaves of the Celestial Dragons.

Five years later, when the bear's kinsman, Kula, was telling the legend of "Nika" to the bear, he disturbed the dragon-keeper and was shot dead.

Four years later, Xiong was captured and taken to God's Canyon, where he, along with other slaves, natives of God's Canyon, Ambrio Ivankov, and Ginny, became prey for the Human Hunting Conference.

The Human Hunting Tournament begins. Da Neng, along with Ivankov and Ginny, arrives at the location where the Devil Fruits are hidden as planned. After being attacked by Charlotte Linlin, a member of the Rocks Pirates, Da Neng decisively eats the Devil Fruit and uses its power to rescue more than 500 people.

After leaving God's Canyon, the bear bid farewell to Ivankov, who was setting sail, and lived a brief period of happiness with Ginny.

Seventeen-year-old Kuma becomes a priest, using his fruit powers to help the elderly relieve pain every week, while he bears the pain himself.

Five years later, Ginny proposed to 22-year-old Bear, but Bear refused because he didn't want Ginny to be implicated by his Bakania bloodline. Shortly afterward, he read about Monkey D. Dragon and the Self-Defense Force in the newspaper and longed to go to sea to help him.

Three years passed in this way. Then one day, the King of the Kingdom of Sorbe suddenly issued a new policy, dividing the country in two to reduce the tribute from the Heavenly Gold. The north was protected by the country, while the south, where Xiong Shen was located, was a lawless land.

The bear was arrested for disobeying the king's orders.

Later, Long and Ivankov led the Self-Defense Army to attack the Kingdom of Sorbe, forcing the king to rescind the policy.

Xiong and Ginny joined the Self-Defense Army, which later evolved into the Revolutionary Army, and Xiong and Ginny became one of the army commanders.

In the following years, Kuma, Ryu, and Ivankov, along with other members of the Revolutionary Army, appeared in the East Blue and began their revolutionary activities. Also during these years, Ginny was captured by the Celestial Dragons.

Two years after Ginny was abducted by a Celestial Dragon to be his wife, Kuma received a message from Ginny saying that she had contracted a strange illness and had been abandoned by the Celestial Dragons, but hoped that Kuma would not come looking for him.

Big Bear guessed that Ginny would definitely return to the main kingdom of Sorbe, so he teleported all the way there. When he arrived, Big Bear saw Ginny covered in stones and was heartbroken. He promised Ginny that he would take care of her daughter Bonnie.

Chapter 180: The Supernovas

Following this, Bear busied himself with caring for Bonnie and participating in the revolutionary activities of the Revolutionary Army, until he discovered that Bonnie had also contracted the same illness as Ginny, at which point he withdrew from the Revolutionary Army to care for Bonnie.

Five years later, Xiong learned from a doctor that the disease was called Jade Scales.

Jade disease is a very rare condition in which the patient's body gradually turns blue and the skin becomes hard like scales.

Jadescale's condition worsens with exposure to sunlight or moonlight; it's currently incurable, and those afflicted rarely live past ten. A year later, King Bekuri returned to the Kingdom of Sorbet. The bear was shocked and enraged. King Bekuri had adopted the policies of the Kingdom of Goa, and in the south of the kingdom...

The army set fire to the capital, killing and injuring countless citizens. Enraged, the bear rescued people from the blaze and then went to the capital of the Kingdom of Sorbe alone, driving out King Bekoli of the Kingdom of Sorbe. This event, in which he single-handedly changed the national regime, is known as the "One Man Revolution."

After Bekri escaped, he cooperated with the World Government and led several naval warships to Solbe's country, where they were all sunk by Kuma alone.

Because of his act of destroying warships, coupled with King Beccori's complaint, Kuma became a pirate and had a high bounty on his head. Kuma was called "Tyrant," which is also the origin of Kuma's title of Shichibukai (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea).

Afterwards, fearing that he would implicate Bonney and the people of the country, Kuma chose to go to sea and become a pirate, and search for a cure for Jade Scale Disease. He went to the Bird Kingdom, Future Island, etc., to ask the locals if they knew about Jade Scale Disease. He traveled around the world but could not find out the origin of the disease.

It wasn't until he met Dragon during his travels that he learned from Dragon that the Navy scientist Vegapunk had moved, and that the defenses were currently weak, allowing Kuma to easily infiltrate the area.

Having obtained intelligence, Kuma bids farewell to the dragon and infiltrates Vegapunk's experimental base with Bonney. Kuma undergoes Vegapunk's research experiments, and Vegapunk helps Bonney recover from her illness. The two reach an agreement, and Kuma names Vegapunk's humanoid weapon "Pacifista."

However, due to the surveillance of Den Den Mushi, Kuma and Vegapunk's deal was overheard by the Five Elders. The Five Elders reached an agreement with Kuma, making him one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and turning him into a humanoid weapon of the Navy, undergoing complete physical modification, and ultimately abandoning all "thinking" and "self." He was not allowed to meet Bonney until he was completely modified.

Upon learning of these conditions, Big Bear was overjoyed. He had initially thought that simply providing blood and agreeing to clone Bonnie was too easy a condition for curing her illness, and he still felt bad about it. However, upon hearing the Five Elders' request, he was so happy that he wept.

In the days that followed, Kuma carried out his duties as a Shichibukai while also secretly helping the Revolutionary Army, a practice that continues to this day.

"...Therefore, within the Revolutionary Army, especially in the eyes of Lord Dragon, the Revolutionary Army has always had an extremely important mission: to save Kuma before he is completely transformed." As she spoke, Koala's tone became extremely heavy.

"Hmph, it is indeed a sad story," Mashiro said softly.

“Lord Dragon has said many times that he abandoned Ginny before, and now, he absolutely cannot abandon Bear,” Koala said softly. “In that case, if I can solve Bear’s problem, shouldn’t Dragon owe me a huge favor?” Mashiro said softly.

“That’s right, Lord Dragon has always felt very guilty towards Lady Ginny and Lord Bear,” Koala replied. “Okay, I understand,” Mashiro chuckled.

In the afternoon, Mashiro left Dressrosa aboard a Seastone warship. Before leaving, Mashiro specifically instructed those who stayed behind to guard the prison, and not to let anyone in until she returned.

If something unexpected happens and he can't solve it, then contact Kaido via Den Den Mushi. Sabaody Archipelago.

As a gateway to the same new world, it is now incredibly bustling.

In the past year, besides big names like the "Sorcerer" who have shocked the world, some vicious pirates have also made a name for themselves.

Those rookie pirates who rapidly rise to prominence with bounties exceeding 1 million Berries are collectively known as the "Supernovas." And right now, these Supernovas are gathering at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Eustass Kid, captain of the Kid Pirates, bounty 315 million Berries; Basil Hawkins, captain of the Hawkins Pirates, bounty 249 million Berries; X Drake, captain of the Drake Pirates, bounty 222 million Berries.

Scratchmen Apoo, captain of the Radio Pirates, has a bounty of 198 million Berries. Capone Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates, has a bounty of 138 million Berries.

Jewelry Bonney, captain of the Bonney Pirates, has a bounty of 140 million Berries. Trafalgar Law, captain of the Heart Pirates, has a bounty of 200 million Berries.

Urouge, captain of the Broken Monk Pirates, is known as the "Strange Monk" and has a bounty of 108 million Berries.

Killer, a combatant in the Kid Pirates, is known as "Killer of the Machines" and has a bounty of 162 million Berries.

Roronoa Zoro, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, has a bounty of 120 million Berries. "Wow, these young people are really energetic."

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, a gray-haired man sighed softly.

"It's just a small-time thing. You don't mean you want them to arrest you and send you to the naval base to pay back the money, do you?" a woman smoking nearby said. "Forget it, with my old bones, I'm not going to get involved in this kind of thing," the man said, raising his glass with a smile.

"That's right, and we don't need you. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, Admiral Kizaru will be here soon." The woman said, exhaling a puff of smoke. "Exactly, Mashiro really slapped the World Government and the Navy in the face this time. But no matter what, we have to get that back."

"See, targeting these little guys is the best option," the man said calmly.

"However, it seems that Mashiro has really gone too far this time. Two Marine Admirals and four Admiral candidates have all been captured, which has made the pirates even more arrogant and the fragile balance of the four seas even more precarious," the woman said with some concern.

"If Mashiro hadn't already made some kind of agreement with Kaido beforehand, Kaido would probably have already stormed Marine Headquarters. At the very least, he would have..."

"We need to attack several naval branches." The man's tone also became somewhat helpless.

"Let's not talk about that now. Aren't there eleven supernovas? Where's the last one?" the woman asked.

"Straw Hat Pirates captain, Monkey D. Luffy, bounty 3 million Berries, huh? This straw hat..." The man's tone suddenly became somewhat alarmed. "What's wrong?" the woman asked.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered someone I know. I'll go out for a walk first." With that, the man put down his wine glass and turned to leave.

“Don’t forget to make some money,” the woman reminded him. “Okay.”

Chapter 181: The Straw Hat Crew and the Celestial Dragons

The Sabaody Archipelago is an archipelago located in the middle of the Grand Line, ahead of Mary Geoise.

The island is made up of many large trees, and the ground is made up of tree roots that sprout into air fortresses made of branches.

The island is composed of 79 of the world's largest mangrove trees, the Yarchman Mangrove Forest. The branches of the trees themselves, along with the breath of the roots, create a unique bubble culture on the island.

Each tree on the island corresponds to a town and facilities, and the islands are connected by bridges, so remembering the numbers will prevent you from getting lost.

The SS Sunny docked at Island 41, and the Straw Hat Pirates were thrilled as soon as the ship came ashore. It was indeed an interesting little island.

However, an octopus-like fish-man on the ship frowned and warned the other crew members not to clash with the world nobles after entering the city. He also warned them not to pay any attention to anyone who was killed in front of them and to pretend that nothing had happened.

Subsequently, the Straw Hat Pirates captain Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, led by Hachi, went to find the coating master.

Sniper Usopp and cook Sanji stayed behind to watch the ship, leaving only combatant Zoro with nothing to do. Zoro said he wanted to go for a walk, but Usopp and Sanji quickly stopped him.

Sanji said, "Forget it, you're such a terrible navigator, it's a real hassle to find you." Zoro retorted, "There are numbers on the trees, even kids shouldn't get lost."

“You’ve used all your intelligence on naming your techniques; you’re bound to get lost,” Sanji continued. “Shuru-sai!”

After saying that, Zoro jumped off the ship.

Sabaody Archipelago was like a transit point, a melting pot of merchants, pirates, and marines, but it also had its share of interesting occurrences. Amidst the laughter and playful banter, a commotion erupted, and a man wearing a collar, his face filled with panic, cried out for help.

"Help me, help me remove the collar, I want to go home." The people around could tell at a glance that he was a slave who had been sold, a slave of the Celestial Dragons, a world noble family, and they knew that he had no chance of escaping, so they all kept their distance.

The ticking sound grew faster and faster until the collar exploded, and the man collapsed to the ground, limp and lifeless.

Then, what came into view was a fat dog wearing a mask. The island's residents knelt down one after another, and the dog walked to the man's body and actually urinated on him.

Immediately afterwards, two world nobles wearing oxygen masks arrived. In their eyes, human slaves were worse than dogs. They then fired several more shots at the body before leaving in a huff.

This is the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons' holy land that all of humanity fears and dreads. It is precisely because of their actions that people from all over the world have decided to support Mashiro.

At this time, Luffy and his friends arrived at the amusement park and tried all the rides, including the roller coaster, carousel, pirate ship, Ferris wheel, and bumper cars.

Not far away, a Celestial Dragon riding a human slave, followed by bodyguards and maids, and other people kneeling on the ground, walked towards the slave auction house.

It was precisely because of their actions that people from all over the world decided to support Mashiro.

At that moment, a stretcher was carrying a critically ill patient toward the hospital, while a nurse was nervously performing first aid nearby.

When faced with a Celestial Dragon in a bad mood, this behavior is simply picking a fight. The Celestial Dragon got up from his slave mount and kicked the seriously ill patient on the stretcher.

Then, with his eyes fixed on the beautiful nurse and snot running down his face, he said, "You, be my wife."

Upon receiving the order, the attendant hurriedly said, "Immediately process the formalities for welcoming the 13th wife."

"As for numbers 1 through 5, they've had their fun. Let's just banish them," the Celestial Dragon continued, looking utterly clueless. Hearing this, the nurse's face fell in despair.

Just as the nurse's fiancé was about to step forward, the Celestial Dragon fired without hesitation. Blood stained his robes, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. The beautiful nurse cried out for help, but not only ordinary people, but even the so-called "supernovas" hiding all around dared not utter a word, not even daring to look up.

Just then, a green-haired figure strolled over and wandered into the middle of the road where the people were kneeling, until he reached the Celestial Dragon's side. The Celestial Dragon was shocked, unable to believe that anyone would dare to be so disrespectful.

Zoro, completely bewildered, looked at Guan Longren's expression and said impatiently, "What? Want to ask for directions?" Guan Longren raised his spear to face Zoro, his Observation Haki appearing, and he was about to cut down the Celestial Dragon in front of him.

In the critical moment, a pink-haired girl threw herself on Zoro and collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Brother, you have offended the Celestial Dragons, you deserve to die!"

Then he whispered in Zoro's ear, "Lie still and don't move."

Seeing this, the Celestial Dragon looked regretful. "Did you manage to kill him? It seems you didn't completely defeat him. Since he's dead, so be it." With that, he rode away on the slave.

After the Celestial Dragons left, Zoro got up from the ground and said angrily, "Who are you? Why are you bothering me?" Bonney didn't answer; she just didn't want to call the Marine Admirals because of Zoro.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, the other Supernovas who had witnessed everything breathed a sigh of relief. If a Marine Admiral had actually come, it would have been a real challenge.

But Zoro didn't care about any of that. He picked up his injured nurse fiancé and headed towards the hospital.

On the SS Sunny, Sanji and his two companions were leisurely sipping tea when the tranquil atmosphere was suddenly broken by the ringing of a Den Den Mushi. "GruGruGru..."

Immediately afterward, Chopper's urgent cry came through the Den Den Mushi: "Something terrible has happened! Camie has been kidnapped! He'll be sold! There are so many slave shops on the island, we don't know where he'll be taken! Everyone, come out and search for him!"

Upon hearing this, although extremely anxious, Sanji calmly began to analyze the situation.

Ultimately, he decided it was better to seek help from the Flying Fish Pirates, since there was strength in numbers, and Duval, as the local bigwig, was quite familiar with the area. At this time, they were on Island 1.
