" Kuma! You really need to change this personality of yours! Don't keep everything bottled up inside and suffer alone. Sometimes speaking out can have unexpected consequences!"
Like this incident, you almost caused a major disaster. So, if you encounter any problems you can't solve on your own in the future, be sure to tell us, your friends. Having one more person to help is definitely better than trying to solve them alone. Remember, you are not fighting this battle alone!
Although Vic was unaware of the deal between Kuma and Saturn in the original story, what he said was indeed correct. If Vic hadn't Niji, Kuma would still have ended up finding Vegapunk.
Even if Dragon didn't act as a go-between, Saturn would have leaked the information that Vegapunk could cure diseases to Kuma at a crucial moment, and Kuma would still have fallen into Saturn's conspiracy, and the father and daughter would have been separated forever.
When they met again, Kuma had become an emotionless government machine, so there was no point in the father and daughter meeting again!
So this time, Vic changed the fate of Kuma and Bonney, preventing them from experiencing the tragedy of the original story. Kuma will no longer become Shichibukai, a government machine dedicated to carrying out missions. He can participate in Bonney's wonderful childhood and will only be a cadre of the Revolutionary Army in the future, shining brightly for the revolutionary cause!
"I understand! It won't happen again. I'm so lucky to have friends like you!"
Kuma was also a little scared. The best doctor was right next to him, but he almost delayed Bonney's treatment just because he didn't want to bother others with his own problems.
Vic is right. Even if your friends can't solve your problems, they can still come up with some solutions. Friends also have their own friends, so there are always more opportunities than if you try on your own.
Even if he doesn't know Vic this time, it doesn't matter, because Vic and Dragon are also friends. He learned that Vic knows medicine through Dragon, so a friend of a friend is also a valuable force.
Of course, this is just an example. He and Vic are also friends, but they rarely run into each other. One is a pirate and the other is Revolutionary Army, so it's not appropriate for them to interact openly.
" Kuma! What are your plans for the future? Will you continue living in this country, or find a place where nobody knows you to settle down?"
Although Kuma's fate was changed because of Vic, he had previously destroyed Bekori's castle and the warships he had summoned, and now he had a bounty on his head, making his treatment almost the same as that of a pirate. The Sorbet Kingdom was no longer a good place to settle down!
Dragon is right about one thing: children are a parent's weakness. With Bonney around, even if Kuma is strong, it's useless. Given his personality, he's very easy to scheme against. Staying in the Sorbet Kingdom is definitely dangerous.
"Bear! Why don't you settle down in Baltigo? Bonney can get a good education and training there, and your safety is absolutely guaranteed. Besides, the Revolutionary Army needs you right now. Ivan and Inazuma have been captured and imprisoned in Impel Down, and we're still lacking some high-end combat power."
Although the Revolutionary Army has financial support from Vic and has plenty of manpower, weapons, and food, high-end combat power cannot be armed simply with money and weapons; those can only arm some rank-and-file soldiers.
High-end combatants are either ability users or experts in physical combat or swordsmanship. Now that Ivankov and Inazuma have been captured, the Revolutionary Army has lost three of its high-end combatants, including Kuma. Sabo and Koala have not yet grown up.
Therefore, Dragon really hopes that Kuma can return to the Revolutionary Army. He had to leave the Revolutionary Army before because he had to take care of the sick Bonney, but now that Bonney is fine, Kuma can definitely come back.
"Whether we return to the Revolutionary Army or not, we must leave the Sorbet Kingdom. I have a feeling that there's more to Ginny and Bonney than meets the eye. If you and your daughter stay here, you might face danger. Going to Baltigo is the best option!"
Vic wasn't lying. Although he wanted Kuma to return to the Revolutionary Army, he wasn't exaggerating. Ginny was alive and had brought the Sapphire Scales Virus from the Celestial Dragons ' lair, and there was also a child who was sick.
Those unaware that the viruses originated from Mary Geoise might not think much of it, but in recent years, Vic has come into contact with those supposedly extinct ancient viruses multiple times, all of which are related to the Celestial Dragons.
The Celestial Dragons personally dealt with slaves, Celestial Dragons powerful Law God fought Roger, and World Government agents dealt with their enemies—all of them used methods like the Ancient Virus. Therefore, Vic couldn't help but suspect that Kuma's family had been targeted by the Celestial Dragons. This was a reasonable guess based on a combination of rational analysis and his sixth sense.
" Vic is right. It's very strange that Ginny was targeted by the Celestial Dragons. Bonney definitely has Celestial Dragons blood. You never know when those parasites will suddenly decide to take Bonney away again. After all, Bonney can also be considered Celestial Dragons. So it's safer for her to come to us. You know how tyrannical the Celestial Dragons are!"
Dragon also chimed in, saying that they had learned a lot about what the Celestial Dragons did over the years. The Celestial Dragons were a limited number of people, and they didn't do many things themselves; it was mostly World Government agents who did things for them.
Although the Celestial Dragons are few in number, government agents have committed numerous atrocities against them. Therefore Revolutionary Army, as their enemy, knows the Celestial Dragons Celestial Dragons most, which is why they have targeted them.
"I promised Bonney I would take her to see the world, and now that Bonney is better, it's time to fulfill that promise!"
Kuma ignored their advice, looking at Bonney with a gentle smile. He didn't care whether Bonney was Celestial Dragons or not, as long as she was Ginny's child, that was enough.
"Wanting to go out and see the world is fine, but traveling can be tiring, and you can't travel forever. You still need a safe place to stay. Once you're tired from traveling for a while, you can come back to Baltigo to rest. It's a very simple thing for you with your abilities!"
You can settle down in Baltigo, travel from there whenever you want, and I've heard there are many children like Bonney's age Baltigo. She can make more friends living there, so why not?"
Vic has already seen the flaws in Kuma's character from Bonney's situation; if he is really allowed to go out, it will most likely end in tragedy.
It's really easy to scheme against someone like Kuma, who's also raising a little girl. In the end, it will most likely end with the father and daughter being separated. The Celestial Dragons have plenty of reasons to take action against Kuma, especially since Bonney is a descendant of Celestial Dragons.
"Alright! Then let's settle down in Baltigo."
After thinking for a moment, Kuma agreed. He realized that settling down in Baltigo wouldn't affect his and Bonney's trip, and Bonney could make new friends during their rest time. He was convinced by Vic.
