A Happy Family

Ginny must live.

The first reason is for the bears.

Kuma is very strong. Baccarat's naturally powerful physique, coupled with his cheat-level Paw-Paw Fruit, makes him at least a Disaster Class powerhouse.

The functionality of the Paw-Paw Fruit goes without saying; it combines attack, movement, and healing, making it a versatile fruit comparable to the Op-Op Fruit.

Secondly...

At that time, it was also for Bonney, who was still sleeping soundly nestled in the bear's arms.

The second child star in the Pirate World.

He set sail at nine, became Supernovas with a bounty of over 100 million at ten, and had a bounty of over 300 million by twelve. When he was at Bullet Island, he treated the militant vice Vice Admiral at the Marine Headquarters like he was disciplining his son.

Even among the Paramecia Year-Year Fruit, which are known for producing freaks, the Paramecia- Paramecia she possesses is one of the most unreasonable.

The ability to arbitrarily change one's own or another's age is just the basics; the power to even accelerate the passage of time and cause external objects to decay is already terrifying. Ain's powerful Return-Return Fruit can only be considered a lower-level version of the Year-Year Fruit.

However, this is not the essence of the Year-Year Fruit; the true power of this fruit is to distort the future.

Bonney is free to become any version of the future she dreams of.

Simply put, whatever she can become in the future, that's what she can become.

As long as she remains steadfast in her belief, she will be able to reach the future she desires.

She can even transform into Nicarpone.

Nika, Azure Dragon, Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and Tremor-Tremor —they are all just ordinary people from an era before my Year-Year Fruit!

Of course, such a powerful Devil Fruit is not without its weaknesses.

Only by truly believing, without a doubt, that you can become the person you want to be in the future, can you successfully distort the future.

It's not that I firmly believe I can use the power of the Year-Year Fruit to become the person I want to be, but rather that I firmly believe I can become the person I want to be through hard work.

Adults can't do this kind of thing.

My worldview is already set; the future is no longer so colorful and vibrant.

Would a normal person believe that they can become Ultraman through hard work in the future?

The triggering conditions for the Year-Year Fruit to distort the future are roughly as follows.

Therefore, the younger the child, the more they are able to unleash the power of this fruit.

But Bonney is just a child, even a baby now.

She has an unlimited future ahead of her.

Hachinosu Island.

The interior of that towering Skull Building.

In a basement that no detector could find.

Dr. Luo, the top doctor on Hachinosu Island, observed the woman lying on the hospital bed with a solemn expression.

Behind him stood Ian, along with the anxious Dragon and the bear.

It's hard not to feel anxious.

After all, Law looks like just a teenager. Even if he possesses the Op-Op Fruit, can such a child really cure Ginny's illness?

"Is it really Azure Scale Disease?"

Luo was somewhat surprised, "To actually get this disease is remarkable. This disease is extremely rare. Not to mention me, there are no cases of it in the medical books I brought from the Kingdom of Drum."

Ian's lips twitched slightly. "Speak properly."

He's never been beaten before.

Dragon and the bear are going to beat you up, and I can't stop them.

Luo turned around and said seriously, "The first thing to clarify is that Azure Scale Disease is a truly incurable disease."

"Currently, there is no medicine available that can cure it."

Dragon and Bear clenched their fists at the same time.

The bear, in particular, almost burst into tears.

Ian rolled his eyes. "Just say 'but'."

Luo suddenly smiled, "But in the end, it's nothing more than toxins accumulated in the body."

"All we need to do is remove these toxins."

Is it possible?

Xiong hurriedly asked.

Dragon also very nervous, his eyes fixed on Luo almost without blinking.

Don't look down on people.

Luo smiled proudly, "Any ailment that can be treated with surgery is no challenge for me!"

"Even the smallest virus, as long as it exists in a patient's body, I can use my abilities to remove it!"

This is the confidence that the Op-Op Fruit have given me!

Bear's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "So, so Ginny can be saved, right?"

Luo nodded, "Of course!"

Amid Xiong's ecstatic joy, he added, "However, her condition is already quite severe; it will take at least a year to completely eliminate all the toxins."

"Very good!"

The bear, however, paid no heed to the concept of a year's time, only excitedly murmuring, "This is wonderful!"

Dragon asked eagerly, "When can we start the first surgery?"

Luo flipped his hand, and a ring of energy condensed in his palm. The next moment, the semi-transparent ROOM space unfolded. "Now!"

The ROOM space unfolds, turning every corner into an operating room.

Bear and Dragon unconsciously clenched their fists, filled with anticipation and trepidation.

Robert, amidst the tense gazes of the two, chopped Ginny into pieces, focusing his efforts on the heart area, cutting a small portion of Ginny's heart to a point almost invisible to the naked eye.

The bear's heart clenched almost instantly, as the scene was indeed quite chilling.

Fortunately, what happened next immediately put his mind at ease.

Under Luo's control, tiny, almost invisible particles, barely perceptible unless one looked closely, floated up from Ginny's shattered heart.

More and more.

Finally, it had formed a small patch of bluish mist in the air.

To be honest, it's quite good-looking.

Ian thought.

Such delicate work is quite physically and mentally demanding. After only half an hour, Luo was already covered in sweat and his face had turned pale.

Before he was completely exhausted, he quickly pieced Ginny back together like building with Lego bricks, then deactivated his powers and plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Are you alright, buddy?"

Xiong was indeed a very gentle man. Even though he desperately wanted to rush to Ginny's side, he couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw Luo's almost exhausted appearance.

Luo waved his hand, "I cleaned up some toxins from her heart. This will reduce the degree of heart hardening and restore blood supply. She should wake up soon."

Xiong bowed deeply to Luo, "Thank you very much."

"There's nothing to thank me for, it was just Ian's order."

Luo stood up unsteadily, chuckling softly, "Besides, I am, after all, a doctor. It is a doctor's duty to do everything in my power to treat patients."

"If I were to express my gratitude every time, I would have to keep bowing to me for over a year."

Xiong said seriously, "It'll be fine for a lifetime."

Luo smiled. "Go and stay with the patient; he should be waking up soon."

Xiong nodded and walked to the bedside. He saw that the color on Ginny's originally bluish face had finally faded a little, and the expression that always showed pain, even when she was unconscious, had eased considerably.

"That's great, Ginny."

Xiong simply sat down on the hospital bed and gently took Ginny's hand. "That's wonderful."

Let's go outside.

Ian said.

Once Ginny wakes up, it will be time just for the star-crossed lovers; these people shouldn't get in the way.

Upon exiting the basement, Luo wearily indicated that he was exhausted and needed to rest.

Ian reminded him, "Remember to get that child checked out too."

Luo raised an eyebrow. "I don't need you to remind me."

Dragon asked in surprise, "Dr. Luo, are you saying that Bonney might also be sick?"

"It's not possible."

Luo said, "It's 100% certain. That woman contracted the Azure Scale Disease while she was pregnant, so the child absolutely cannot escape it."

Dragon clenched his fists. "You bastard!!"

Ginny has already told them that the Azure Scale Disease was contracted through Saturn's experiments.

That scumbag actually used pregnant women for experiments!

The Celestial Dragons are truly a bunch of parasites who shouldn't exist in this world!

"Don't worry, the child hasn't shown any symptoms yet; the condition is very mild."

Luo patted his face to ease his dizziness. "A few surgeries should be enough to fix it."

Dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This has gone to so much trouble for you, Dr. Luo."

"Nothing."

Luo shook his head, yawned, and walked away.

The surgery had indeed left him extremely exhausted.

Outside the basement door, only Ian and Dragon remained.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

After a long silence, Dragon finally spoke, "Ian, please don't make things difficult for the bear in the future."

It's an undeniable fact that Xiong will stay here and become Ian's subordinate.

"I have never made things difficult for my companions."

Ian said casually.

To be honest, you don't seem to have the right to say that to me.

"That's good,"

Dragon sighed. "Bear and Ginny have had such a hard life. It's better for them to stay with you and live a good life."

After the chaos in Mary Geoise, the World Government will definitely be focusing all its efforts on suppressing the Revolutionary Army.

It was actually a good thing that Xiong and Ginny left the Revolutionary Army at this time.

Although the Revolutionary Army's strength was severely weakened as a result, the two who had been treated harshly by the world since birth deserved to experience its kindness.

Ian glanced at the guy.

Call him a coward or a sweaty king, but one thing is certain.

This man is indeed a good person.

Not only is he a good person, but he is also the only good person in this rotten world who wants to overthrow the World Government, create a wonderful new era, and enable everyone to live happily.

"Ian, what exactly do you want?"

"Dragon suddenly asked."

Did the topic change so quickly?

Ian smiled. "It's nothing serious, I just simply want to live in this world in peace."

"Safe?"

Now it was Dragon's turn to stare at Ian in astonishment.

What does this mean?

"Don't worry,"

Ian chuckled. "At least until the World Government is overthrown, we're on the same side."

The World Government is indeed far too powerful.

In comparison, the Revolutionary Army was much easier to deal with.

Dragon nodded slightly.

That's what he thought too.

The Revolutionary Army alone could never overthrow the World Government. To accomplish this feat that no one has been able to achieve in hundreds of years, it would require the combined forces of many powers on the high seas.

At that moment, a loud cry came from the basement behind them.

Ian and Dragon both turned around.

"It's Ginny!"

A genuine smile spread across Dragon's face. "It's been so long since I've heard her voice so full of energy, even if it's from crying."

Ian chuckled softly, "It's tears of happiness."

They don't have to die; they can live on with their loved ones, and happiness is right before their eyes. How could they not weep?

"Then we'll leave them in your care."

"Dragon said seriously."

"Certainly."

Ian nodded slightly.

In order to get both Bear and Bonney to work for him, Ian would naturally make sure this family lived happily under his care.

"Oh, right,"

Suddenly remembering something, Dragon asked abruptly, "Is that boy named Ace with you?"

Ian was a little confused, but he nodded slightly. "That's right, he's my partner now too."

That would be wonderful.

Dragon breathed a sigh of relief. "I forgot to mention before, back in the Kingdom of Goa, we rescued a boy named Sabo."

"That child is Ace's brother, and he's always been worried about Ace's condition."

"Sabo?"

Ian raised an eyebrow.

Is this some kind of predetermined turn of events? Has Sabo joined the Revolutionary Army?

However, Luffy has now been taken to Marine Headquarters by Vice Admiral Garp.

In other words, the three brothers from the original work have now embarked on three completely different paths: the Navy, the Pirates Revolutionary Army?

Isn't that quite interesting?

Let's see which of the three will achieve the most in the future.

"Ace is also very worried about him."

Ian said, "I will pass this message on to Ace."

That would be wonderful.

Dragon smiled.

Sabo is also a promising candidate to join the Revolutionary Army; he is filled with dissatisfaction and skepticism towards the corrupt nobles.

He let out a slow sigh of relief. "I'll go say goodbye to them."

"So eager?" Ian asked.

"You should know very well what the Revolutionary Army will face next."

Dragon said seriously, "I have to rush back to take charge."

Ian nodded slightly. "Don't forget to contact Umit if you need any weapons."

Dragon smiled, pushed open the basement door, and went inside.

A low murmur came from inside the door, but Ian didn't bother to listen carefully; it was nothing more than catching up and saying goodbye.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Dragon emerged, his eyes slightly red.

Ginny wants to thank you.

He said to Ian.

"So?"

Ian nodded slightly.

I'll be going now.

Dragon vanished into the wind. "I'll come see them again when I have time."

Oh?

Is this some kind of warning?

Ian chuckled, Observation Haki to sense that Dragon Luffy of Hachinosu Island and headed straight for the distant sky.

Only then did Ian push open the basement door and go inside.

On the hospital bed, Ginny was already half-sitting up, leaning on the arm that Xiong had placed across the bed.

Yes, one arm would be enough, given the significant size difference between the two.

The woman, who had just regained consciousness, was still very weak, and the jewels on her face made her look even more ferocious.

But at that moment, all Ian saw in her was overflowing happiness and a deep sense of maternal love.

Ginny looked at Xiong sitting beside the hospital bed with tender eyes, holding her daughter in her arms and gently patting the baby's back.

The bear looked at them with a happy expression; presumably, even if he were to die, he wouldn't be dissatisfied at this moment.

Although it's a little strange, this family of three is indeed a beautiful picture that can be described as happiness.

"You must be Ian, right?"

Ginny looked at Ian, "Bear Cub told me everything, thank you so much!"

"Without your help, I would definitely be dead."

"Nothing,"

Ian said casually, "This is a deal I made with Bear."

"If I must express my gratitude,"

Ian smiled and said, "Then live well. Bear is a partner I highly regard, and you are the source of his strength."

Whether for the sake of the bear or Bonney, this woman must live a happy and fulfilling life.

Ginny looked at the bear.

The bear smiled and nodded at him.

So Ginny smiled and said to Ian, "Well, no matter what, I'll live well."

A happy life is just beginning.

The baby in her arms suddenly started giggling for some reason and reached out its paws towards the bear.

Xiong was slightly taken aback, then raised his left hand and let the baby's hands grasp his fingertips.

At that moment, Xiong revealed an incredibly happy smile.

This is what he has always longed for, but has never had.

Xiong said earnestly to Ian, "Mr. Ian, I will work hard for you."

He would not hesitate to protect his current happiness.

Ian chuckled softly.

That's exactly the kind of awareness we need.
