Accidental Injury

Upon hearing that Rain was willing to go to Egghead with them, a flash of heartfelt joy and excitement erupted across Dragon's stern, tattoo-covered old face. The Revolutionary Army not only had to secretly relocate the gravely wounded, dying Garp, but also guard against the World Government tracing them back to hidden bases like Okama Island. The high-end combat power they could mobilize was truly stretched thin.

"Rain, the fact that you're willing to make this trip personally... I truly can't thank you enough."

Dragon took a deep breath. With a rare hint of apology in his voice, he gave Rain a slight bow.

When facing the main forces of Marine Headquarters, you must be extremely careful."

"It's no big deal."

Rain tugged at the corner of his mouth indifferently, raising a hand to pat the still-aching fracture in his chest. A fierce confidence flashed through his dark gray eyes.

"This injury will heal completely once I get back and eat some more meat. The Marines alone can't keep me here."

"Kuma, Rain, the Marine fleet may complete its encirclement at any moment. I suggest you return at once and regroup with everyone."

Sabo looked at the two of them gravely, his tone utterly sincere.

"Aira, Keen, and the others are still stationed elsewhere
