Saving Doctor Trafalgar
The captain Bepo is referring to can only be one person.
That is Trafalgar Law, who is ranked alongside the Straw Hat Kid as one of the Supernovas of the Worst Generation, and also his staunchest ally.
Sirius knew little about what had happened to this man before he arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.
Although his story with Xilandi is well-known, Sirius is truly unaware of what happened to him after that.
He only vaguely remembered that after obtaining the Op-Op Fruit, Law ended up on an island where he met his companions and an old inventor.
Guided by the old man, Luo Cai finally decided to become a doctor, using the Op-Op Fruit to save lives.
So, is what's happening to that guy something that was bound to happen, or is it a butterfly effect he created himself?
Sirius was somewhat curious.
Maria gently patted Bepo's back as he cried, helping him catch his breath. "Don't cry yet, tell us what happened, Bepo."
"... good."
The polar bear nodded emphatically.
Bepo then recounted his experiences to Sirius and the others.
He, his captain, and two other crew members formed a group called the Heart Pirates, promising to set sail when the time was right.
But before that, they need to earn travel expenses for their future sea voyages.
So they took jobs in Pleasantville on Joy Town Svalbard Island.
The captain was a very skilled doctor and opened a clinic.
This was originally a good thing.
To conceal his abilities, the captain rarely saw patients from outside the town, and his guests were mostly acquaintances from the town.
However, the accident still happened.
Unexpectedly, an unwelcome guest arrived, and the captain desperately used his powers to allow the three of them to escape.
"... Then I just kept running and running, trying to avoid the enemy's attacks, until finally I jumped into the sea and swam forward for who knows how long."
Bepo sobbed, "I was already here when I woke up."
"Sirius,"
Yamato scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly, and said, "Don't you think the enemy Bepo mentioned looks familiar?"
How could I not be familiar with it?
A tall, burly man with a high-pitched voice; a sleazy middle-aged man who looked like a slug; a man wearing a cape and clown makeup; and a guy wearing sunglasses who liked to laugh incessantly.
Could this feature be any more obvious?
"It's Doflamingo and his group," Jack said directly.
"That's right! It's Doflamingo!"
Bepo shouted, "That's what the captain calls that guy!"
"What a coincidence!" Black Maria exclaimed.
Sirius also felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Law has been hiding in the North Blue for several years, and Mingo has never been able to find him.
Of course, the main reason is that Doflamingo simply didn't know Law was still alive, nor did he know that Law had eaten the Op-Op Fruit, so he couldn't find him at all.
But Doflamingo got beaten up by his own side, and then he found Law right afterward—isn't that too much of a coincidence?
Even more coincidentally, Bepo, who had escaped, drifted at sea and was eventually found by himself!
Just how low is the probability of that?
This is such an exaggerated setting that even novel authors wouldn't dare to use so easily!
"That Doflamingo guy is really annoying!"
Yamato pouted, "We should have just taken care of him last time!"
Although it was she who severely injured Doflamingo, forcing him to seek medical help, which led to this situation.
However, Yamato did not feel guilty about it.
She was just doing what she was supposed to do; what Doflamingo did was his choice, and it was none of her business.
"Have you guys fought that guy?" Bepo asked in surprise.
He had witnessed firsthand how formidable that group was; the powerful captain was utterly helpless against them.
"Of course, I'm the one who inflicted Doflamingo's wounds!"
Yamato smugly, "They were our defeated opponents!"
Bepo sniffed.
He had almost given up hope, but now it seems that hope has finally appeared.
He knelt directly in front of Yamato, banging his head against the deck repeatedly, pleading, "Please help save the captain! He's my most important comrade!"
"I will risk my life to repay your kindness as long as I can rescue the captain and the others!"
Jack frowned. "Kid, are you forcing us? We have no obligation to help you."
Pirates are never all loving and affectionate with each other.
Not to mention that the two sides are complete strangers at the moment.
Bepo looked up, his bear-like face already blurred with tears, and cried out, "Because I don't want to see the captain and the others die! They're my only comrades!"
"What does this have to do with us?" Ulti pouted.
But Yamato smiled brightly, "I'd do anything for my comrades!"
"Sirius," she said with a laugh, "These guys are pretty good!"
Sirius chuckled softly. "So, Yamato, what do you plan to do?"
"Then let's go beat that bastard Doflamingo to a pulp, Sirius!"
Yamato and laughed heartily, "We let that guy get away last time, but we won't give him that chance again this time!"
"Hey!"
Bepo looked up with a look of surprise.
Although he is only twelve years old and a genuine little bear, he knows the odds of encountering a group of unfamiliar pirates willing to help him on the high seas!
"Really?"
He was still somewhat incredulous.
"Are you serious, Yamato?" Jack also somewhat surprised. "This has nothing to do with us at all."
"It doesn't matter."
Yamato grinned and said, "Doing whatever you want, isn't that the freedom of a pirate!"
"Because I hate Doflamingo, let's go and take him down!"
Clap clap clap clap
Sirius clapped his hands. "Well said, Yamato. If you want to do it, then go for it!"
"Hehe." Yamato out his chest smugly.
"So Sirius, you're going to join Yamato this nonsense too?"
Jack was speechless.
What does this have to do with them? Why would they travel all that way just to join in the fun?
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "When did you become so cautious, Jack? Are you afraid of Donquixote and his gang?"
Jack's best friend's forehead veins throbbed instantly, and he roared, "You think I'm afraid of them? They're just a bunch of small fry! Let's crush them!"
"Haha, let's go then!"
Sirius laughed heartily.
Trafalgar Ronaldo is a very outstanding doctor.
It just so happens that there isn't a qualified ship's doctor on board right now, so isn't this a stroke of luck?
Besides, since Doflamingo is already an enemy, we have to sabotage his plans; how can we just let him get his hands on the Op-Op Fruit?
We let him get away last time, but this time we'll make sure he can't escape again.
