"Why?!!"
Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Chopper on Gawain's head immediately became excited, his eyes sparkling as he kept rubbing Gawain's hair.
"You guys are such good people! I misunderstood you!"
We've only just boarded the ship, and you're already offering the doctor's Op-Op Fruit?!
Even I've heard the doctor talk about that Devil Fruit!
That sounds incredibly amazing!
"Really."
Gawain responded casually to Chopper's words, then looked at Rayleigh.
Meeting Rayleigh's gaze, Gawain pondered for a moment before speaking.
"The Op-Op Fruit should indeed be put on the agenda. According to my clues, that Devil Fruit should be on Trafalgar Law."
Furthermore, this Devil Fruit is also somewhat related to the adopted son of the Sengoku; his adopted son was apparently named Rosinante?
"Oh?"
Gawain's words shocked Gion, who was not far away. She looked at Gawain thoughtfully and asked.
"Sir, you... you know about this news?"
"Haha, why do you think I don't know this news, Gion?"
Gawain retorted, while Gion pondered and gripped her scabbard tightly.
"The person who ate the Op-Op Fruit should be named Trafalgar D. Waterloo."
Although he set sail at the age of sixteen, his information was kept secret by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
As for why the Sengoku concealed his information, I heard it from Sister He.
I thought they had kept the information well hidden, but it turns out they had already been exposed...
"Since you already know this, the Five Elders of Mary Geoise must have known similar information long ago, right?"
"Certainly!"
Gawain nodded readily.
"After all, that's the Op-Op Fruit, the Devil Fruit that can grant immortality."
How could the Five Elders not put him on their watchlist!
At this point, Gawain leisurely opened a bottle of wine, sipped it, and looked at the shocked Gion.
Meeting Gawain's gaze, Gion asked thoughtfully.
"But, sir, if the Five Elders know this, why don't they...?"
As they spoke, Gion fell silent, after all, Sengoku was in the wrong first in this matter.
Gawain looked at the silent Gion and gently shook his head.
"Faced with something very important, yet failing to address it immediately."
Clearly, no matter how important that thing is, it won't be a necessity for them!
I think the Five Elders' situation can be seen from the fact that Trafalgar Law was allowed to roam the seas.
Presumably, they have already undergone the Immortality Surgery.
"This?!!"
"Immortality Surgery?"
"Immortality?!"
"It's not surprising that the Op-Op Fruit has such an ability!"
"They are all...???"
All around, the emotions of the group of people had been stirred up by Gawain.
And Gawain.
Facing countless shocked faces, he chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, I think that's the case for them all, otherwise, the Five Elders in my memory shouldn't have remained unchanged for so long."
As for the Immortality Surgery, haha, the fact that such news could spread and even be included in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia is astounding.
That proves that someone must have undergone the Immortality Surgery.
After all, if no one had performed this surgery, how would people know about it?
At this point, Gawain gently raised his right hand.
"Shakky, Lucci, the latest intelligence focus has shifted to Trafalgar Law's Heart Pirates."
Don't use force, don't make them nervous. What I need is someone who treats me normally, even kindly.
Instead of seeing me as an enemy, he saw me as the devil.
As for the Immortality Surgery..."
Gawain couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
"I am determined to have the Immortality Surgery, but for me, who is only twenty-six years old at the moment, it is not a necessity."
If Luo is willing to join our ranks, then I will not pursue this surgery excessively, at least until I grow old and die.
After all, Pure Gold still exists in this world. I've already arranged for people to search for the whereabouts of the Pure Gold, so the elderly people on the ship can rest assured.
Anyway, let's find Trafalgar Law first. I want to talk to him and then try to invite him onto our ship.
The preciousness of the Op-Op Fruit the Immortality Surgery itself, but also in the ability to perform surgery on a large number of people simultaneously, which in some aspects is far more valuable than the Immortality Surgery.
"Luo can provide the most perfect surgical medical care. It's such a waste for someone like him to become a pirate and do something like fighting and killing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain waved his hand gently, and Shakky and Lucci immediately sprang into action.
Countless phone calls were made by the two of them, and similarly, countless pigeons and falcons flew from the Dark Bird Ship to all parts of the sea.
At this moment, Luo, who was discreetly diving on the seabed of the North Blue aboard the Polar Tang, was reading a magazine with his Erlang crossed. He was unaware that the person in the photo he was looking at had already set his sights on him.
He looked at the magazine and then shook the newspaper he had recently received.
"This leader of the Dark Bird Clan is truly formidable; he has already clashed with the World's Strongest Man and the world's most Haki man."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo's fierce eyes turned to the magazine's front page with a meaningful look.
Wearing a crisp black and gold military uniform, Gawain, with a slightly Haki smile, seemed to be smiling directly at him.
Beside Luo, his old friend Bepo couldn't help but glance at the magazine.
"Someone that even the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't defeat?"
That's terrifying!
When will we be able to do what they did and carve out our own territory on the most powerful seas?
"Us?"
Hearing Bepo's words, Law lowered his eyelids slightly.
"If we want to reach that level, it will probably take at least ten years, right?"
Just like Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, didn't he become Four Emperors at the age of thirty-three?
It's truly enviable; he's only thirty-four years old this year, yet he's already the most fearsome man on the high seas!
As for us, you all know about my Devil Fruit abilities.
Until we grow up, let's stay hidden and protect ourselves with the Polar Tang, Bepo!
After speaking, Luo placed the magazine on the coffee table beside him, but after putting it down, he couldn't help but glance at the cover a few more times.
Noticing Law's gaze, Bepo shrugged sheepishly.
"Captain, don't be fooled by the fact that the Dark Bird is in charge. We... even if we had that kind of strength, we wouldn't have their status..."
"Hey, Bepo!"
Although we can't compare to his status as Celestial Dragon, if we were strong enough, couldn't we also appear before him with arrogance, just like Whitebeard and Red-Haired Shanks?
Bepo, you always say such discouraging things!
"Ah..."
Bepo, ridiculed by Law, immediately hung his head in dejection, and a visible shadow appeared on his forehead.
Needless to say, the child was clearly feeling down again...
While Luo and his crew were indulging in their daydreams, on the Dark Bird Ship...
Zephyr had already followed Kureha out of the operating room.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Binz and Ain rushed towards him in a panic.
Standing before their teacher, Ain and the other girl nervously looked at Zephyr's right hand.
Seeing his disciples watching him intently, Zephyr grinned widely, a look of excitement on his face.
"Truly a legendary doctor who has survived for over 130 years!"
Although it was very painful, after the surgery, I could feel that my hand was so much better than before!
Why doesn't our navy have such excellent doctors? Humph!
"If the Navy had a doctor like Dr. Kureha, then an old admiral like me could also burn the last drop of blood in my veins for the righteous cause of fighting pirates!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zephyr endured the pain and vigorously moved his right hand.
But just as he was flexing his fingers, Kureha punched him hard on the head.
Kureha withdrew her fist and took a sip of her drink with an annoyed expression.
"Damn it, I'm treating you, not so you can torment yourself even more!"
Don't use your right hand for the next week. Since you don't need to fight right now, just focus on healing!
As soon as she finished speaking, Kureha lit a cigarette and then looked at the other people on the boat.
She waved to everyone and smiled.
"And you all, whether you're old men or young people, come and sit in my medical department!"
Let my old mother and my bratty son give you a full medical checkup!
Chopper, you... huh?
At this point, Kureha stared blankly at Gawain's head...
Kureha sighed softly as she watched Chopper, wearing the Celestial Dragon's head mask and perched on Gawain's head with a blissful expression.
"You really know how to pick a place, haha, looks like I don't need to worry about your safety anymore."
Gawain, how could a guy like you actually like my hairy, smelly son?
Never mind, let Chopper rest on you for a while.
I'll take care of the physical exam myself!
After saying that, Kureha turned around and walked back towards the medical room.
As she reached the door of the medical room, she suddenly turned around and yelled.
"Didn't you hear what I said?!"
"Little Rayleigh, why don't you set an example and come here to let me check you out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kureha stormed into the medical room.
Rayleigh, amused, scratched his head.
"Haha, with a super senior doctor on board, I feel much younger!"
However, Shakky, you and Dr. Kureha are friends, so your age..."
Bang!!!
With a loud bang, Rayleigh, who hadn't even finished asking his question, was punched to the ground by Shakky.
Shakky gently swung her fist and leisurely exhaled a smoke ring.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, old man!!!"
"I understand, haha!"
Rayleigh laughed as he rolled over and got up, then headed towards the medical room. Starting with him, all the other officers underwent a medical check-up.
So that night, almost every cadre was given a good scolding by Kureha.
Having experienced countless battles, they inevitably bear various hidden injuries, and even Gion was not immune.
Therefore, without exception, everyone on the Dark Bird Ship received a medical record.
Starting tonight, for the next three days, all personnel on the Dark Bird Ship, including Gawain, will suspend their training.
After recuperating, they can continue exercising. This is a rule set by Kureha. This doctor is so senior and skilled that no one can disobey her.
As for Gawain...
After Kuma quickly returned with the Munch-Munch Fruit, he and Gawain demonstrated their usual training methods.
As a result, this training method completely baffled Kureha.
Kureha has lived for so many years and has never seen anyone use more than two Devil Fruits for high-intensity training.
Especially the Paw-Paw Fruit...
This thing is absolutely outrageous!
As a result, Gawain has been verbally abused by Kureha quite a bit these past two days.
Even three days later, as Gawain sits there reading newspapers and various other information.
Kureha even dragged him out and nagged him a few more times.
"Your training method is absolutely not going to work. You can increase the workload, but you can't keep getting injured and recovering like that!"
Judging from the Devil Fruit's abilities, the Paw-Paw Fruit can indeed deflect your external injuries.
But don't forget that energy is always conserved. When your wound is gone, it means that the damaged cells and tissues are recovering. In the process of rapid recovery, the rate of cell division will inevitably be affected!
So listen to me, you're not allowed to do this kind of self-torture training again!
Your current strength seems to be about the same as Jinbe and the others. If you were to unleash your full Conqueror's Haki's Haki, neither Jinbe nor Hancock would be a match for you!
You've already reached this level; the only thing you're missing from becoming a monster is your physique!
From now on, I will focus on physical training and avoid so-called real combat, allowing myself to go through cycles of injury and recovery.
In real combat, our bodies are like machines; any hidden danger can become the straw that breaks the camel's back in the fierce fighting.
Do you want to be someone who breaks the camel's back, my little captain?!
"Haha, Dr. Kureha, could you please not use the adjective 'small' before 'captain'?"
Also, I understand that live-fire training will be reduced in the future; let's reduce it as much as possible.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
At this point, Gawain nodded slightly to Doriel.
Seeing this, Doriel pursed her lips in annoyance.
"Try your best, huh? Anything you try your best at is basically impossible!"
Or are you planning to maintain your cellular state with Pure Gold, or do you really want to rely on Immortality Surgery?
You little rascal, oh well, never mind.
I can't control guys with such strong wills as you.
In short, just try your best to keep your word, that way I won't have to worry so much!
After saying that, Doriel clinked glasses with Gawain in an annoyed manner.
Just then, a ship was approaching from the sea not far away.
After the lookout had done his job, Lucci quickly arrived at Gawain's side.
"Sir, the Navy has delivered Mr. Zephyr's robotic arm!"
"Giao!"
Before Gawain speak, Franky, who was adapting to the Devil Fruit's power on the deck not far away, rushed towards Gawain.
"Finally, this day has come! Haha, I'm going to see just how advanced the mechanical skills of that legendary scientist Vegapunk really are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Franky rushed towards the landing site with all his might. After the robotic arm was carried onto the deck by the Navy personnel, Franky pounced on it.
Result...
The next moment, Franky, feeling utterly powerless, fell right off the mechanical arm.
Thump!
After slamming hard onto the ground, Franky was weak and powerless, but also incredibly excited.
"It has a very smooth, mechanical feel. Although it's not particularly attractive, the joints are handled exceptionally well."
The combination of Seastone and metal is also done perfectly!
Wait a minute, I'll take it back for a more in-depth analysis. Now that I've seen Vegapunk's work, I can start making it myself.
My work has to be at least better than Vegapunk's!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Franky and his men grabbed the mechanical arm and ran.
Behind him, Zephyr, who was training his students, looked completely dazed.
After hesitating for a while, Zephyr shook his head sheepishly.
"So, the reason I haven't had a mechanical arm for so many days isn't because that bastard can't make one."
Or was he desperately trying to see the actual robotic arm and then make it even better than Vegapunk's?
"This kid is really pushing himself too hard!"
