Will I Get a Raise if I Help You Catch Rayleigh?

He'd rather let Haku handle it than run into these people later and get held accountable!

Keep in mind that Luffy is Garp's grandson! The tension between the Navy and Garp had already been somewhat strained because of Ace's situation!

The thought of Luffy ending up in Impel Down sent sweat beading on Kizaru's forehead. He tightened his grip slightly!

Rayleigh was a bit confused. He had been just going through the motions, but when Kizaru increased his strength, he thought the other was going to get serious?

Haku, who overheard their thoughts, couldn't help but roll her eyes, because whether these two actually fought was for real or not!

If Rayleigh and Kizaru were truly willing to fight for real, the Sabaody Archipelago wouldn't be able to withstand their battle!

"Father!" Bonney cried out, desperately wanting to run to the giant Bear after witnessing his brutal attack on the Straw Hat Pirates!

Haku didn't stop her, because Bonney quickly stood still.

Suddenly, the Bear unleashed a powerful laser beam from its mouth, shooting it towards the Straw Hat Pirates!

"How could this happen! Why did this happen?"

Has the bear become so unfamiliar to Bonney?

She knew her father had been modified by Dr. Vegapunk, but she never imagined it would turn out like this!

Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. She knew her father had once been a kind and gentle man, but this stranger-like father in front of her made her feel alienated and afraid.

"How could this happen? Father, why did you do this?" Bonney asked in a trembling voice.

The Bear didn't respond, but continued its attack. Bonney was filled with helplessness and despair; she didn't know how to cope with this sudden turn of events.

Bonney started wailing.

Haku looked at Bonney's pained expression and felt utterly helpless. He understood that what Bonney needed right now was support and comfort, not blame and reprimand.

"Bonney, calm down," Haku said.

"It's all your fault! You're the ones who made him like this!" Bonney suddenly grabbed Haku by the collar and began to question her.

"Stop, stop, stop! What does this have to do with me? Can you stop being unreasonable?" Haku said, looking at the little brat in front of her.

"Holy crap, don't use your powers!" Haku suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly used his spiritual energy to push Potter away.

Although Haku pushed Bonney away in time, he was still affected by the power of the Toshi Toshi no Mi, and the young man in his twenties instantly turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old!

Haku was unsettled. Although no one could resist looking younger, she felt her strength had diminished slightly!

Haku, seeing Bonney's twitching lips, said, "Sweetie, deactivate the Devil Fruit ability."

Bonney turned her head away, pretending not to hear, and continued, "I don't understand! Unless you turn my father back!"

Faced with this demand that was both reasonable and unreasonable, Haku chose to ignore it!

Bonney looked at the Bear in the distance, her heart filled with urgency!

She charged toward the bear again, but this time Haku didn't let it get away with it!

A surge of Spiritual Power erupted from Haku, pinning Bonney firmly to the spot!

"Let me go! Damn navy!" Bonney cursed Haku, who was holding her captive!

Haku said calmly, "Just watch! This is your father, and although the truth is a bit cruel, he became like this all for you!"

"You're lying to me! Why would he do this for me?" Bonney's voice trailed off.

She herself had previously received treatment from Dr. Vegapunk, and she knew all along what her father had sacrificed to secure this opportunity for her!

In the distance, the Straw Hat Pirates was still being chased away one by one by Bear!

After confirming that he had completed his mission, the transformed Pacifista Bear headed towards his next mission location.

Bonney stretched out her right hand, trying to grab her receding father. But...!

"It's all his fault! It's all his fault! That guy is the culprit!"

"I'm going to kill that guy!!!" Bonney, who had been keeping her head down, raised it, her eyes burning with vengeance!

Haku was at a loss; she knew this kid's mind was stuck in a self-imposed loop!

She only believes that what she sees, thinks, and knows is correct!

I estimate that as long as Haku just releases Bonney!

That little brat will try every means to escape and find the culprit she mentioned, Dr. Vegapunk, to take revenge!

Haku slung the other person close to her and headed towards the source of the constant rumbling noise from next door.

Bonney thrashed and struggled in the air, her size changing rapidly! Sometimes young, sometimes old!

Throughout this time, she kept talking, trying to provoke Haku. But Haku completely ignored her, as if she couldn't hear or see her!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rayleigh, wielding his sword, and Kizaru, wielding his lightsaber, clashed once more!

The entire Area 12 was left in ruins because of the fight between the two!

Kizaru saw Haku approaching and excitedly said, "Haku, should we take down this former vice-captain of the Pirate King?"

"Taking down Rayleigh would be a huge achievement!" Kizaru said, charging at Rayleigh again to exchange blows!

Haku gave Kizaru a curious look. Why had her old colleague, who disliked working overtime, suddenly changed her personality?

They actually want to take Rayleigh down on their own initiative?

Watching these two elderly men and women unleash their full power, Haku felt like they were really getting heated.

Haku, of course, didn't take sides. She asked, "If I help you catch Rayleigh, will I get a raise?"

Kizaru froze; those words felt like a knife piercing his heart!

"It seems like you've been fighting for so long without even getting overtime pay, right? And if you get injured, you won't get any rest, will you? Especially with the Whitebeard Pirates you're about to face?" Haku's words pierced Kizaru's heart once again!

"And once Rayleigh and his hidden crew find out Rayleigh's been arrested, don't you think the workload will increase several times over!" Haku gave him a knowing look.

Faced with Haku's persuasion, Kizaru sheathed his lightsaber and said nonchalantly, "Since you're here, I'll leave this place to you! I'll go find out where Sentomaru is."

"What's going on?" Rayleigh stared at the scene, completely bewildered.

"What? Still not done fighting? Aren't you afraid the bar next door will be affected by your brawl?" Haku said.

Remembering Shakky's angry expression, Rayleigh also put his weapon away.

Rayleigh wasn't the only one looking a bit bewildered. Bonney, who was hanging next to Haku, was also staring at Haku in disbelief.

She couldn't understand how Haku had defused the fight with just a few words.
