Kuma was quite anxious, but he still didn't disturb Wang Shi's meal and quietly watched Wang Shi finish his breakfast.
"Your Wang Shi, what future are you referring to?"
"Can you really see the future?"
Seeing that Wang Shi had almost finished eating, Kuma immediately spoke up, saying that nothing was more important than Bonney's safety and future.
"If Vegapunk erases your memories, your daughter will risk everything to sail the seas to find you."
"Her abilities are extraordinary. Not only can she defeat the CP8 agents who are guarding her, but after going to sea to become a pirate, she can also become Supernovas."
To avenge you, she will go to Egghead and clash with Admiral Kizaru, and even the Five Elders...
"You two, father and daughter, sigh~"
Wang Shi watched as Kuma spoke slowly and deliberately, then sighed softly, as if lamenting the fate of Kuma and his daughter.
"Bonney..."
Kuma's heart tightened, and his fists clenched so tightly they made a sound.
Is this his and Bonney's future?
Given Bonney's personality and temperament, it's entirely possible that Bonney might indeed go to sea for him, just as Wang Shi suggested.
They didn't stay in the Sorbet Kingdom and grow up obediently.
What should he do?
He cannot save Bonney if he disobeys Saint Saturn.
After his 'death,' no one was left to protect Bonney.
If Bonney clashes with Kizaru and Saint Saturn, Bonney will definitely be in trouble.
At this moment, Kuma's heart was completely in turmoil.
If Bonney is destined to get into trouble, what's the point of everything he's done?
"Can the future... be changed?"
Kuma asked Wang Shi in a dry voice, his voice filled with helplessness.
While Yixiao and Aramaki didn't understand what they were hearing, they could tell that the daughter of this Shichibukai was in the hands of the World Government.
So Kuma became Shichibukai because he was threatened by the World Government?
Yi Xiao sighed inwardly. No wonder he sensed a pure and kind aura emanating from Kuma; he didn't seem like a bad person at all.
This was the first time Aramaki had ever heard of someone being forced to become Shichibukai.
This Kuma is having a bit of bad luck.
Despite possessing great strength, he was threatened and controlled.
It's better to the Goa Empire; as long as you have the strength, you can become a noble Baron.
"The future can certainly be changed," Wang Shi calmly, looking at Kuma.
"Your Majesty, please tell me! What does Your Majesty need?"
Kuma quickly pressed for details, explaining that he not only needed to find a way to fully heal Bonney, but also to ensure Bonney safe growth.
"I need your blood, and the Eternal Pose and coordinates to some of the islands you've visited."
Wang Shi slowly made his small request.
"I'll give it to you!"
Kuma agreed to Wang Shi's request without hesitation.
Since he has already been researched and cloned by Vegapunk, he doesn't care if Wang Shi draws his blood again.
Does Wang Shi also want to clone himself, this descendant of the Buccaneer, and create a fighting legion like the Pacifista?
Kuma quickly drew a sample of his own blood and gave it to Wang Shi, and even cut off a piece of his muscle tissue, showing his great dedication.
He also copied down the coordinates of a large number of islands from his biblical records and gave them to the Wang Shi.
As for the Eternal Pose he created, he would need to return to the capital to send some to the Wang Shi.
Wang Shi was very satisfied with Kuma's cooperation.
"Actually, Bonney's body had almost fully recovered after receiving treatment from Vegapunk."
"The World Government's claim of restoring order to the Sorbet Kingdom is just a deceptive tactic to mislead you. The doctors and nurses who cared for Bonney were mostly CP agents, their only goal being to make you obey."
"Therefore, if you want to change the future, you'd better find an opportunity to use the Paw-Paw Fruit's power to quickly send Bonney to a safe place and get her out of the control of the CP agents."
"And you, too, will be spared the threats of Saint Saturn and will refuse the surgery and experiments to erase your memories."
Looking at the honest Kuma, Wang Shi thought to himself, "This guy is too honest. He was actually taken advantage of by a CP8 agent."
That makes sense, though. Kuma thought Bonney hadn't fully recovered, which is why she continued to be threatened by Saint Saturn and CP agents.
"This..."
Kuma never imagined changing his fate would be so simple?
Won't this implicate Dr. Vegapunk?
"We must be ruthless and decisive, and quickly take down those CP agents posing as doctors and nurses."
"If you hesitate even for the slightest bit, Bonney will be captured by CP agents and used to threaten you; they might even actually kill Bonney."
Wang Shi looked at the hesitant Kuma and sighed again.
Indeed, character determines destiny.
Even with his powerful Buccaneer physique and Paw-Paw Fruit abilities, Kuma still lived a miserable life.
"I see!"
Kuma spoke firmly, saying he wouldn't let anything happen to Bonney, and he couldn't die himself.
He must protect Bonney as she grows up.
Now that Wang Shi has told him about this information gap, he will no longer be threatened by Saint Saturn and CP agents.
Where would be a good place to send Bonney?
The Sorbet Kingdom is definitely not something we can return to.
Should we send them to the Revolutionary Army?
However, because of Ginny's situation, Kuma doesn't want Bonney to become a Revolutionary Army.
He just wanted Bonney to grow up happily and be a carefree girl.
Why not take your companions with you and become pirates together?
Kuma hesitated. Should he let young Bonney live a precarious pirate life?
If he forcibly rescues Bonney, breaking his promise to the World Government, Saint Saturn will definitely not let them off the hook.
They will still be in great danger at that time.
"Your Wang Shi, is there a peaceful island in this world that even the World Government cannot find?"
The distressed Kuma suddenly looked at Wang Shi again.
"Have."
"Actually, after you rescued Bonney, you could have been more assertive in negotiating with the World Government and continued to serve as one of the Shichibukai. This would have given the Five Elders a way out, preventing a life-or-death struggle."
"I believe the World Government will not refuse a force like yours."
"If they don't agree, then go ahead and sabotage the World Government."
"Back then, Doflamingo became Shichibukai by threatening the World Government."
"You can use your status Shichibukai to do many things in the future."
"Anyway, with your Paw-Paw Fruit ability, you can go wherever you want."
"Also, are you interested in becoming a spy within a spy? You can work for me and the World Government simultaneously, or even for the Revolutionary Army."
Wang Shi looked at Kuma. This guy was too honest and kind, completely unable to break the constraints of worldly rules.
Vegapunk and the World Government healed Bonney, Kuma, following Wang Shi's advice, broke his promise and tore up the treaty, which was indeed somewhat immoral.
But don't forget who caused Bonney's illness—it was that old geezer, Saint Saturn.
Furthermore, Saint Saturn's demand that the Kuma erase his memories and become a weapon constitutes an unreasonable trade.
What's wrong with breaking a promise and not fulfilling it?
There's absolutely no need to feel pressured.
He could also be like the other Shichibukai, completely without needing any other tasks from the World Government.
Shichibukai.
"After rescuing Bonney, will he continue to be Shichibukai?"
A thoughtful glint flashed in the Kuma's eyes; this seemed to truly prevent Saint Saturn from exacting his wrath.
Whether he returns to the Revolutionary Army or becomes a pirate after rescuing Bonney, it will be extremely dangerous.
Continuing to serve Shichibukai is actually a compromise.
"I hope Your Majesty will find a safe island for my daughter. I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty."
Looking at the shrewd and resourceful Wang Shi, Kuma decided to fully accept Wang Shi's advice.
A man who can see the future and is full of charm—fate and intuition both tell him that Wang Shi is trustworthy.
