Setting Sail Again

The Sorbet Kingdom was in the South Blue. If Mu Chen remembered correctly, Dragon would overthrow its government within the next few years. And it seemed less than a year remained before Ohara's destruction.

Mu Chen suddenly wondered whether he should intervene for Robin's sake. Saving her mother would be one thing, but saving everyone else would be much harder.

To be honest, Mu Chen had no fondness for Ohara's scholars. As far as he was concerned, they were a bunch of stubborn fools. If they wanted to study the Poneglyphs out of curiosity, they could have done it in hiding. And if they were discovered, they should have run for their lives. Instead, the lot of them had marched nobly to their deaths. Wasn't that just stupid?

Worse, their foolishness had dragged down an entire island's residents.

Still, considering his ties to the people involved, he could save Robin's mother, Nico Olvia, while he was at it. As for Dr. Clover, he seemed to be friends with Vegapunk. Vegapunk had even gone to pay his respects after Ohara was destroyed.

Vegapunk, huh?

Was the Age-Age Fruit in his hands?

Mu Chen mulled it over.

According to the timeline, Kuma's daughter had set out to sea at nine years old. That meant she had already gained the Age-Age Fruit's powers by then.

Working backward, Ginny gave birth to Bonney in 1511. Bartholomew Kuma raised her for several years, but after she developed a disease, he took her to Vegapunk.

Everything pointed to Vegapunk having the Age-Age Fruit.

In that case, he might as well save Dr. Clover too. He had only one reason to do so: to trade the doctor's life for Vegapunk's Age-Age Fruit.

Mu Chen was still curious about the relationship between the Revolutionary Army and Vegapunk. Why
