Zoro's resolve

Zoro replied firmly, "What ambition can we have if we can't even protect our captain!"

"Luffy... is going to be the Pirate King!!!"

"Wait, you bastard! What will happen to your ambitions if you die now?" Sanji suddenly appeared!

He walked tremblingly to Kuma and said, "I've long been prepared to sacrifice myself for Luffy! Although the Marines don't care about me now, I'll be the most troublesome person in this Pirates crew in the future!"

"You bastard!" Zoro was surprised that this lousy cook, whom he usually didn't get along with, had stepped forward.

"... Hey, could you tell everyone for me that I'm sorry, you need to find another chef."

Zoro suddenly attacked and knocked Sanji unconscious!

He approached the bear and said firmly, "This is my request!"

Xiong fell silent; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He sighed softly and said, "If I were to attack Straw Hat Kid again, I'd really lose face!"

Because there's someone up there watching all of this!

Although Zoro didn't fully understand what Kuma meant, he still said, "I'm very grateful!"

Xiong picked Luffy up again and continued doing what he had just wanted to accomplish.

He said to Zoro, "Believe me in what I've done, I'll keep my promise. But before that, I'll show you hell. Just you wait and see."

Kuma used his Devil Fruit ability to send a red bear paw flying out from Luffy!

He said, "What just sprang out of Straw Hat Kid's body was the Pain and Fatigue he suffered during his fight with Moria! All the Injuries accumulated from fighting Moria and the others is this! Since you're going to die in his place, then accept this pain!"

"Of course, your body is nearing its limit, so you can't possibly withstand this! Just experience a small portion of the pain first!"

The bear severed a small piece from its Luffy's Injuries, and shot it into Zoro's body!

Having only experienced a fraction of the immense pain and Fatigue, Zoro was already in agony and unable to speak!

After Zoro recovered, Bear asked, "How are you?"

"... Let me go somewhere else!" Zoro said, his voice trembling.

Just as Zoro finished absorbing the pain, Haku appeared beside Kuma.

Because Zoro is enduring inhuman physical and mental torment.

Even if Haku stood right in front of him, he wouldn't know!

Haku looked at Zoro, who was covered in blood, and clicked her tongue, saying, "That's really something. I didn't expect this Moss Head to be able to withstand this much Injuries! You know, his physical abilities are definitely not as good as Luffy's after he ate Devil Fruit!"

Zoro was in so much pain that he was almost losing consciousness, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to collapse. Blood kept seeping from his wounds, mixing with sweat and soaking his clothes. His face was pale, but his eyes shone with a determined light.

Looking at Zoro, Haku couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. She knew that Zoro had been able to persevere until now entirely because of his loyalty to Luffy and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs.

"What a tough nut to crack!" Haku exclaimed.

Kuma looked at Zoro, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Haku asked the bear, "Are you sure he won't collapse from the strain and die on the spot?"

"Who knows?" Xiong replied casually.

"Damn! I was actually thinking you were reliable." Haku rolled her eyes.

He walked behind Zoro and used the Kaidō to stop Zoro's injuries. Looking at the blood all over the ground, he wondered if Zoro was suffering from anemia.

Looking at Zoro, who had recovered, Kuma murmured, "He has a good group of companions. No wonder he's your son, Dragon."

After Haku completely stopped the bleeding from Zoro's body, he and Bear left the spot.

Judging by the time, Zoro will soon be discovered by the awakened Straw Hat Pirates! So, the rest of the work no longer requires the two of them!

Where the unconscious Gecko Moria is!

Hogback was trying to take Moria, who was even larger than him, away from the island.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! I didn't expect another Shichibukai to come to this island! I thought neither Lord Moria nor I could escape!" Doctor Hogback said with a sly grin.

He was indeed relieved that the bear had appeared!

Otherwise, given what he's done on the island, he'd probably be torn to pieces if his existence were discovered!

"Need any help?" a calm voice sounded behind Doctor Hogback.

At this moment, Bear and Haku had already arrived behind Doctor Hogback.

Before Hogback could even turn around to see who it was, Kuma had already used his Devil Fruit ability to send Moria and Hogback flying Teleportation onto the ship.

After dealing with Moria, Bear turned to look at Haku.

The bear spoke first, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Haku smiled and said, "After seeing all that you've done, I guess you still want to erase your memories and become Pacifista, right?"

Bear gave Haku a deep look, nodded, and did not answer his question directly.

"You really don't have to do this," Haku sighed. "You can choose your own life instead of being bound by the World Government."

After a moment of silence, Xiong slowly spoke, "This is my own choice. I have my responsibilities, and I have tasks I must complete."

Haku looked into Kuma's resolute eyes, knowing she couldn't change his mind. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll respect your choice. I know that only by becoming a complete Pacifista will the World Government lower its guard against you! And only then can you accurately obtain intelligence from the World Government!"

"Oh! I was hoping to win you over to my side!" Haku said regretfully.

Xiong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Was it true that you could restore me to my original human form?"

Haku glanced at Kuma and said, "Since you have such a close connection with Vegapunk, you should know what happened to Admiral Kizaru."

After listening, Kuma made up his mind and said, "If I share the information I obtained from the World Government with you, can you grant me one request?"

Haku pretended to listen attentively!

Bear looked at Haku and said, "Since you mentioned Bonney last time, I think you should know about her situation. So, could you help me take care of her?"
