How Did You End Up Like This?

Next, Haku takes Bonney to find the fishermen of the Sorbet Kingdom.

After Bonney bid farewell to the group of fishermen who had been protecting her, Haku took out her Companion Card again and headed to her next destination.

The special effects light emitted by the Companion Card enveloped Haku and Bonney.

And just like that, not long after, Haku and Bonney appeared on the Perfume Snake.

The moment Haku and Bonney appeared, all the Kuja Pirates members drew their arrows and aimed them at each other.

"It's been so long, you don't need to welcome me like this!" Haku said with a smile, looking at the wary Kuja Warrior.

"You? You're Haku?" Sandersonia was the first to recognize Haku.

"Put down your weapons! Marigold, go and inform your sister!"

Although Sandersonia was still puzzled as to why Haku had become like this..., she made a decision. Her first thought was of her sister.

"Long time no see, Sandersonia! You all look as energetic as ever!" Haku greeted with a smile.

Some of the bolder Kuja Warrior had already stepped forward and poked Haku had become so young.

Sandersonia asked curiously, "Haku, what happened to you?"

As she spoke, she began to look at Haku in circles.

Haku shrugged, glanced at Bonney who was pretending not to notice, and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days!"

"Haku!" Boa Hancock arrived at Haku's cabin immediately after being notified.

Haku skillfully reached out and pulled the other person into her arms, but because Haku was younger, it looked as if the 191cm tall Empress was hugging her younger brother!

Even with Haku's thick skin, he still released the Empress. His male pride got the better of him, Haku awkwardly touched his nose before smiling and saying, "Hancock, did you miss me?"

Boa Hancock looked at Haku before her, a flicker of surprise and confusion crossing her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep longing. She gently stroked Haku's face and said tenderly, "Darling, are you really alright? You look... so different."

Haku gently took the Empress's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Hancock, I'm fine. Something just happened that made me look like this temporarily. But I promise, I'll recover soon."

Hearing Haku's words, the Empress's worries lessened slightly. She knew Haku's strength well; if he said that, he must be confident. So, she smiled and said, "Haku, no matter what you become, I will be by your side."

Haku felt a warmth in his heart, and he held the Empress's hand tightly. This display of affection filled the mouths of everyone else present.

"Haku, tell me. Who is this person? What? She's hugging you!" Bonney, who was still in her loli form, used her Devil Fruit power to transform herself back into a 24-year-old adult.

Bonney's sudden change instantly heightened the tension. The Kuja Pirates' warriors once again grabbed their weapons on high alert, while Boa Hancock wore a puzzled expression.

Haku rolled her eyes, then without hesitation, punched Bonney on the head, leaving a bump. "Little brat, you think I Calm Belt. I guess you wouldn't mind if I used you to fish for Sea King!"

Bonney, wincing in pain on her head, glared at Haku and said fiercely, "Believe it or not, I'll shrink you even smaller!"

Haku laughed and said easily, "You can try it and see who's better!"

Bonney's face showed a hint of defiance upon hearing this, but she ultimately refrained from further provocation. She knew Haku's strength and understood that she was no match for her.

Boa Hancock watched the interaction between the two, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She tugged at Haku's sleeve and whispered, "Darling, who is this?"

Haku turned to the Empress and introduced her, "This is Bonney, the daughter of one of my... well, a friend's daughter. She's a bit childish, no! She's only ten years old, she's still a child."

Hancock glanced at Bonney curiously, and after learning that Bonney was actually only ten years old, she lowered her guard.

After leaving Bonney with the Kuja Warrior, Haku took Hancock to their room!

The Kuja Pirates, who were originally going to stay in the Calm Belt for a while, immediately changed course and headed towards Amazon Lily under Haku's guidance.

After spending a few hours with the Empress, Haku took Bonney to where she needed to go!

The Grand Line! The sandy, rocky Baltigo welcomes Haku's arrival!

Of course, Haku's sudden appearance led to the same situation as on the Perfume Snake!

The first to recognize Haku was Crow, the Northern Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army.

The Crow stared in astonishment at Haku's sudden appearance, his eyes wide with disbelief. He quickly put down his work and strode towards Haku, calling out as he went, "Haku! How did you suddenly appear here? And why are you so young!"

Haku smiled but didn't explain. He changed the subject, saying, "Aren't you busy?"

The Crow shook its head and said, "Don't interrupt, tell me quickly what happened? How did you become like this?"

Haku shrugged and said casually, "Don't worry, this is only temporary. I'm here to discuss something with Dragon."

Upon hearing this, the Crow nodded and said, "The dragon is currently at headquarters; I'll take you there."

Haku and Crow headed towards the Revolutionary Army headquarters. On the way, Haku briefly explained Bonney's situation to Crow and asked Crow to help arrange Bonney's accommodation and meals. Crow readily agreed and said he would personally take charge of the arrangements.

Bonney was temporarily handed over to the Revolutionary Army by Haku, and since Bonney's mother was a former Army Commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army, he believed that the little brat would be dealt with properly.

At the very least, Bonney definitely can't be wandering around at sea during this period!

Haku arrived at Dragon's office, but Chief of Staff Sabo was not there.

Haku knew, of course, that the other party should be near Marineford. After all, Ace's affair had already caused quite a stir, and even Dragon couldn't stop Sabo from going there.

Finally, they prepared to provide backup as Haku had instructed!

Dragon wasn't too surprised by Haku's arrival; someone had already informed him Haku.

Upon seeing Haku enter, Dragon curiously asked the same question as the others.

"Haku, how did you become like this..."
