Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

He carried a wooden box tightly on his back, as if it were some important treasure. He wore a slightly cute bear-ear hat and frameless glasses. He frowned as he looked at them. "The Overlord of the East Blue? The Mok Pirates?"

Chapter 42 The Formidable Overlord of the East China Sea

Xia Che looked at the burly figure standing on the side of the pirate ship, carefully carrying a wooden box on his back, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

I never expected to run into him here.

Bartholomew the Bear.

That's right, right in front of us is Tyrant Bear, a hot topic in the World Economic News recently.

Of course~

Xia Che, who was familiar with the plot, knew in his heart that the man in front of him was not a tyrant, but a gentle... unlucky guy?

That's right, he's just an unlucky guy!

But he is also a strong and gentle man.

Tragedy defined his life, but he still held onto hope and used his abilities to help others and protect his children.

Xia Che looked at the giant bear in front of him.

At this moment, Big Bear was frowning, still looking at the bald East Sea Overlord with his arms crossed and a majestic expression.

Even when facing a child who had only come from the East Sea, Bartholomew Kuma remained wary, carefully protecting the small wooden box behind him.

For him, it was as if he was carrying the most precious treasure of this ocean on his back, which was also his OnePiece.

Xia Che glanced at the wooden box on the big bear's back. Perhaps this girl's birth was not ordinary, but to the burly man in front of him, she was his most important daughter!

At this time.

Just as Bartholomew the Great Bear was watching.

Always keeping Xia Che's orders firmly in mind, Mo Ke had already assumed the posture of the overlord of the East Sea, and his specially trained underlings immediately brought out the overlord of the East Sea's exclusive items upon encountering the enemy.

Left side: [My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven]

Right side: [If Heaven wants to destroy me, I will destroy Heaven]

Above: [Overlord of the East Sea]

This scene.

This immediately broke the existing silence, making the already silent atmosphere even more so.

An eerie silence.

Especially Robin and Kuina, who had never seen this scene before... both of them had strange looks on their faces.

But after a while, he seemed to understand what was going on and turned to look at Xia Che beside him.

Did you do this?

Fortunately, Moke didn't reveal this when they were in the Konom Islands, otherwise he would definitely have been arrested by the admiral.

That's just...too arrogant!

Even the Pirate King Roger probably wasn't this arrogant!

Xia Che, who was being looked at suspiciously, also revealed a smirk. He hadn't expected that Mo Ke would be so proficient after only one training session.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of the overlord of the East Sea has already been displayed.

He even put on his signature outfit—a golden lion mane cloak.

Didn't you see that with Moke casually flicking his cloak and his eyes exuding an imposing aura, was the bear in front of him really intimidated?

They became even more careful to protect the small box behind them.

Bartholomew Kuma, who has traveled all over the world, probably never expected to encounter such an arrogant person at the starting point of the Grand Line!

At this time.

The two burly men stared at each other.

One man's eyes held an arrogant, intimidating look, while the other's eyes were filled with vigilance.

Behind.

A soft, childlike girl's voice suddenly came from behind Bartholomew Bear.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Hearing this voice, Big Bear snapped out of his daze. His previously wary eyes softened instantly, and he said softly, "Bonnie, Daddy's fine. It'll be over soon."

"Okay, Dad, you can do it!"

After receiving a childlike word of encouragement from his daughter, Bartholomew Bear raised his head again, still looking at Mok warily.

The new overlord of the East Blue, captain of the Moke Pirates—Moke!

Having always had the habit of reading newspapers, Da Xiong was somewhat familiar with the overlord of the East China Sea.

Although there isn't much news about the East China Sea in the newspapers, it's safe to say that this person appears in almost every recent news story about the East China Sea.

A pirate who lives in the weakest sea and has already been given a huge bounty of 5000 million Berries by the Marine Headquarters before even entering the Grand Line.

Although this bounty is nothing in the Grand Line and the New World, it's important to remember that the person hasn't even entered the Grand Line yet.

Just for staying in this weakest sea, the Navy has put a bounty of 5000 million on his head!

There are even rumors that... this guy once successfully escaped from the hands of the Navy hero, Vice Admiral Garp, which caused Vice Admiral Garp considerable distress, and the bounty of up to 5000 million Berries was proposed by the Vice Admiral himself.

Even naval heroes are so cautious!

Can be imagined.

Although the Mok Pirates are still in the weakest sea, their strength is definitely that of a supernova among the younger generation of pirates!

Especially this guy...

How could they be so arrogant?

In particular, I heard that not long ago this guy also stirred up a pirate feast in the East China Sea, preparing to massacre the Navy branch.

Although it seems he ultimately failed, there are rumors that in order to preserve the seed of East Blue pirates, he single-handedly stopped two Marine captains and eventually managed to escape unscathed.

Anyone who dares to be so arrogant on this vast ocean and hasn't been killed yet is definitely not to be underestimated.

Such an enemy might not be a match for Bartholomew Bear, but Bonnie was still behind him, and as a father, he absolutely could not allow any accidents to happen.

Bartholomew Kuma stared intently at Mok, who stood calmly with his arms crossed, facing the tyrant before him. He adjusted his frameless glasses and said indifferently, "Captain of the Mok Pirates!"

In order to find a cure for Bonnie's illness, after leaving the Kingdom of Sorbet, he took little Bonnie on a journey across the sea in search of a famous doctor, while also keeping his promise to Bonnie to travel with her and see the beautiful scenery of the sea.

Although Bonnie, who was always inside the box, couldn't see it, he was constantly worried about what would happen if he... if he really couldn't find a way to cure Bonnie and let her see the ocean for herself.

He had promised Ginny that he would take good care of the child!

Therefore, even if it meant death, he was determined to find a way.

But the result was unexpected...

Beneath the Red Line, he was attacked by a group of pirates. After defeating them, he suddenly encountered a huge pirate ship. Thinking it was part of the same group, he used his abilities to charge at it, intending to eliminate it quickly.

then.

And that's how it turned out.

Bartholomew Kuma glared at Mok, who remained unmoved by his questioning, with an air of authority. "Lord of the East Blue, are you here to capture me, just like those pirates from before?"

however.

Face his words.

"???"

Moke, who was striking a cool pose, froze for a moment, then scratched his head. "Pirates? Capture you?"

Seemingly remembering something, he coughed twice more, then resumed his pose as the overlord of the East Sea, his eyes narrowing.

"How much is your bounty?"

"???"

Ask him what he wants the bounty for?

Wait, this guy doesn't seem to recognize me?

Upon hearing Moke's question, the usually serious-looking bear paused for a moment, as if he had guessed something. He then regained his composure, turned his head away without answering Moke, and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?" Nami rushed out of the cockpit carrying Vivi, looking anxious. "Did you run into pirates? Have you dealt with them?"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Xia Che with a panicked expression.

"Xia Che, Weiwei is sick, what do we do now?"

As soon as these words fell.

This once again drew everyone's attention. Xia Che looked at Vivi, who was being held in Nami's arms, looking weak and with glazed eyes that seemed to want to open but couldn't. He was surprised and asked, "Is she sick?"

Wasn't everything fine when we went out to sea?

How come you got sick so soon after entering the Grand Line?

"I...I'm fine!" Vivi managed a weak, strained smile. "Please, don't, don't go back. Just save Alabasta..."

however.

The words are not finished yet.

"Stop joking around. You don't look like you're alright. You know, any illness at sea can take a crew member's life." Nami interrupted Vivi, saying seriously, "Don't worry about Alabasta right now."

"Nami, I..."

Moved by Nami's words, Vivi was about to raise her hand to reassure Nami that she shouldn't worry.

"There's still a billion to pay! What if something happens to you?" Nami ignored Vivi's stunned expression and looked around nervously. "A doctor? How could we possibly find a doctor here? That's a billion!"

"..."

Seeing Nami's tense expression... it was hard to tell if she was nervous about herself or about the billion dollars, Xia Che was about to comfort her and tell her not to worry, and that there really was a doctor here.

"Can I take a look?"
