Although Kuro had been slain by Roya, Kaya's parents and Usopp were already lying in pools of blood.

Kaya collapsed to the ground, tears unconsciously sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

After dealing with Kuro, Roya rushed to Kaya's side. "Trust me. They'll be fine!"

As soon as he spoke, Roya used Five-Turn Illusion. His illusions immediately scattered and headed toward the warship.

He needed medicine.

Medicine to treat their wounds.

Combined with Roya's peak-level medical skills, as long as they still had a breath left in them, he was confident he could save them!

Kaya looked at Roya before her.

She watched as he stopped the bleeding and bandaged her parents' wounds in one fluid motion.

Along with all kinds of movements and methods Kaya could not understand.

Her parents slowly opened their eyes.

Roya waved Kaya over and had her look after her parents for the moment.

Then Roya went over to Usopp's side.

It had to be said that Usopp's injuries were several times more severe than Kaya's parents'.

But even so, Usopp still had a faint heartbeat.

What sustained him was willpower far beyond that of ordinary people!

Was this truly Usopp in a desperate situation?!

That kind of willpower was incredibly powerful.

"Usopp, your future lies upon the sea!"

As Roya spoke, the illusions appeared once more.

Under Roya's control, they divided the work with clear roles.

With his peak-level medical skills!

Roya forcibly pulled him back from the gates of death.

After placing them on beds and letting them rest in peace.

Kaya came before Roya.

She suddenly remembered that in Usopp's story, a "prince" had appeared at the end, turning the tide and saving everyone!

And now, in Kaya's eyes, Roya was that "prince" from the story.

It was precisely because Roya had appeared that her parents had escaped danger.

Usopp had also awakened now. Once they recovered, everything could return to how it had been before.

And all of this had been brought about by the medical skills of the man before her!

Without thinking, she threw herself into Roya's arms.

As a young girl, Kaya had truly been terrified just now.

At this moment, she could finally no longer suppress the emotions in her heart.

She cried in Roya's embrace.

No one knew how long she cried.

She only barely stopped when she felt that her eyes had become somewhat swollen and red.

After the two chatted for a while, Kaya suddenly said seriously to Roya, "Roya, I want to study medicine. I want to become someone as amazing as you! I never want to helplessly watch my loved ones suffer before my eyes again... So, Roya, can I take you as my master?!"

Kaya looked at Roya, her eyes full of anticipation as she hoped he would grant her this small wish.

Hearing Kaya's words, Roya merely said calmly, "You must make sure your parents take the prescriptions I wrote for you on time. They're good for their health, and taking them over a long period can even prolong their lives."

"Mm, I understand."

Roya did not answer whether he would accept her as his disciple.

Hearing Roya's words, Kaya lowered her head in disappointment.

Roya rose from his chair and slowly walked to the door. Then he turned around and said to Kaya, "Kaya, when their injuries have mostly healed, just contact me directly through a Den Den Mushi. I'll send someone to pick you up!"

Hearing Roya's words, Kaya excitedly jumped up from her chair.

She came before Roya and asked excitedly, "Really?"

"A gentleman's word cannot be taken back."

"Roya, thank you. If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't have known what to do! You are the light of my future."

As she spoke, Kaya rose onto her tiptoes and gently pressed her lips against Roya's.

After making an agreement with Kaya, Roya left the room.

He saw that Jango was still waiting there for him.

"Huh, I thought you'd already run away."

Jango gave a bitter smile. If he ran away, that would mean he was truly finished, wouldn't it?

"Admiral White Dove, I've decided. I want to turn myself in, and after washing away my sins, I want to join the Marines."

"Oh? And why is that~"

"Because I've realized that meaningless killing is nothing but a sin!"

"Do as you wish."

With that, Roya left Syrup Village and sailed the warship toward a nearby Marine branch.

He was going to pick up Kalifa and return together with her.

Of course, Roya still left behind an illusion.

Only after seeing that they had truly turned themselves in did the illusion disperse.

Even so, it left Roya slightly dizzy.

After all, the distance between his real body and the illusion was simply too great.

Although he had confirmed that the illusions might not be restricted by distance.

As the distance increased, however, the stamina consumption would multiply.

It could easily lead to exhaustion.

Still, this counted as a discovery, giving Roya a better understanding of the Illusion-Illusion Fruit.

He picked up Kalifa from the Marine branch.

Then the two of them sailed toward Marineford.

This trip had been quite rewarding for Roya.

Not only had he thoroughly made a name for himself, but he had also obtained Noah's Ark and peak-level medical skills.

One had to know that on the sea, the most important thing was basically a ship.

The next most important thing was medical skill.

A ship allowed one to sail upon the sea, while medical skill enabled better treatment after being injured.

If one did not receive proper treatment in time after being injured, infection and death could come easily.

Every year, countless people died at sea for this reason.

Just as Roya and Kalifa were chatting happily.

The Den Den Mushi rang again.

Kalifa's aura instantly changed into that of an icy beauty.

She walked over to the Den Den Mushi, originally intending to hang it up immediately.

But when Kalifa saw that the Den Den Mushi displayed the appearance of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

She immediately became serious and answered it at once.

"Fleet Admiral, this is Kalifa."

"Kalifa, notify Roya immediately. Have him prepare for battle and head to the Rondaldoron Sea. Zephyr has sent out a distress signal!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral."

Kalifa answered crisply.

Yet a towering wave had risen in her heart.

Just what kind of person could force Zephyr, who had once been so powerful, to send out a distress signal?

But Kalifa did not waste any time.

She immediately went to Roya's side and told him about it.

Roya did not hesitate either. He immediately controlled the illusions and sped toward the Rondaldoron Sea.

Roya knew who Zephyr's opponent was.

A fool with nothing but muscles from head to toe and not a shred of brains.

But it was said that his strength could rival Whitebeard at his peak in his youth!

For some reason, Roya felt faintly worried at this moment...
