Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

The words fell.

Upon hearing Big Bear's earnest words, Bonnie, inside the box, couldn't help but utter her childish voice, "Daddy~"

That innocent and childlike voice made Da Xiong grip the documents in his hands even tighter, and he looked at Xia Che with a determined smile, as if he were willing to give anything for him.

He would give anything for Bonnie!

Regardless of who this guy is, and regardless of what kind of cooperation exists between the East Blue Navy and the pirates...

He didn't care about any of that, as long as Bonnie could be cured!

This scene before my eyes.

This moved Nami and the others once again. Even the fast-running duck quacked with emotion, and even the big, goofy Moke was wiping away tears.

this moment.

A gentle sea breeze caressed the deck.

Everyone gazed at that figure with emotion...

A father, seemingly willing to give anything for his daughter's treatment, clutched the documents tightly in his hands, tears streaming down his face, yet he smiled as he looked at the person recruiting him.

only.

"No, why are you all crying for no reason?"

Xia Che looked at the crowd with a dark expression, who suddenly had tears in their eyes.

It's just a matter of legally and compliantly hiring an employee.

Why does it seem like I'm some kind of heartless boss using someone's daughter to threaten a father into working for me?

"I don't think my treatment is bad at all!"

As soon as these words fell.

Nami and Vivi, who were looking touched, froze for a moment, then Nami chuckled sheepishly and said, "I almost forgot about that~"

That's true~

Although their actions were slightly illegal, they were still a legitimate naval branch.

"Big Bear, don't worry, just sign it!" Nami looked at Big Bear with a grin. "Don't worry, even though this guy has a bad reputation, he'll definitely do what he promises."

"That's right, dear BOSS may not have a great reputation, but he is quite a man of his word!"

"Colonel Shacher does have a bad reputation, but I've come to believe him now."

"Your reputation is still... quite good, you can trust me!"

"The older women are all right!"

"Gah~"

"..."

That first sentence is redundant; his reputation in the East China Sea is actually quite good!

And what's with Mo Ke Ni getting involved?

Xia Che looked at everyone with a dark expression, then turned to look at Da Xiong.

He wasn't worried that Big Bear would refuse. He had already used his trump card, and Big Bear would never give up unless he truly saw no other way.

As for treating Bonnie, there are two ways...

One of them is Trafalgar Law, who is searching for the user of the Op-Op Fruit.

In fact, in order to recruit talent, he has sent people to Beihai to search for them over the past few years.

But this guy is extremely wary!

He didn't trust anyone at all, and even when he revealed the secrets of the Don Quixote family, it was no use.

On the contrary, it runs even faster!

It's incredibly slippery!

And the second method...

That's right, it's about asking Vegapunk for help.

But if that's the case, wouldn't the bear have been recruited for nothing?

He was indeed very envious of Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, but unfortunately, Vegapunk now belonged to the World Government, so even if he wanted to steal him, he couldn't.

Of course~

Although neither of these two methods is feasible for the time being, we've already come all this way...

Anyway, even if there's really no other way in the end, we can tell Kuma about Vegapunk, and I'm sure Kuma will be very happy.

If all else fails... then just go fight Don Quixote.

I believe Trafalgar Law will definitely show up then.

At that time, all that could be done was to make things difficult for Doflamingo!

really.

After hearing what everyone said, Da Xiong lowered his head again to look at the documents in his hand.

I must say, the treatment they received was indeed excellent.

That is why he was so certain that this was not a conspiracy by the World Government.

As the gods of this world, the World Government would never stoop so low as to recruit a slave like this.

Big Bear smiled and nodded seriously, "Thank you everyone! I'll sign!"

As he spoke, he took the pen that Robin handed him and signed his name directly on it, but then solemnly raised his head.

"If..." he said hesitantly yet firmly, "in the end there's still no way to cure Bonnie, please allow me to leave and continue searching for a cure!"

The words fell.

Big Bear had initially thought his words would cause dissatisfaction among the others, and he was even prepared to be questioned.

But he didn't care what it took to cure Bonnie.

however.

unexpected.

The man standing before him, who seemed to be the true mastermind behind the Moke Pirates, nodded without hesitation, smiled, took his documents, and said, "Welcome to the team!"

"Welcome, Big Bear!"

"welcome!"

"Big Bear, I'll call you that from now on! You'll call me Boss along with me from now on." Even Moke grinned sheepishly to welcome Big Bear, spreading his arms wide. "Now, I'll have the Moke Pirates prepare a banquet to welcome Big Bear!"

"Thank you!" Seeing the crowd welcoming him, Da Xiong, with tears in his eyes and a smile still on his lips, said, "Thank you everyone!"

Even Bonnie, who was in the box behind him, smiled happily. "Thank you everyone for welcoming Daddy! Although Bonnie also feels like she's at a party, seeing Daddy so happy makes her very happy too."

however.

Just as everyone heard Bonnie's words and was preparing to comfort the sensible little girl and promise that they would hold a banquet to welcome her back once she was healed,

At this time.

But then, suddenly.

"Let's postpone the banquet!" After handing the employment contract to Robin, Shacher looked up at the sea before him and said with a smile, "Now let the doctor examine Bonnie!"

As Xia Che finished speaking.

Just as everyone was looking at him with puzzled expressions, and before they could even react, Big Bear excitedly started saying something.

Sudden.

"Hey~"

A loud whale call rang out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

I saw.

The once calm sea surface was suddenly ripped open by a huge whale emerging from the seabed with a "whoosh."

Chapter 45 Bringing it to you

"Azure Jade Scale Disease? I never expected to see this kind of disease."

"Can you cure it?"

"What do you think?" The man, whose hair resembled a blooming flower, with a receding hairline and only a few strands of white hair, looked like an old man with his hair disheveled. He glanced at the patient in front of him—Bonnie.

He raised his head again, looking at Xia Che in front of him. As if he remembered something, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then he sighed, "If I could cure him, Roger wouldn't have died from an incurable disease back then."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the bear, who seemed to have heard a name and knew it, widened his eyes in surprise.

As if he understood something, he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

That's right, the guy in front of you is none other than Crocus, the ship's doctor on the ship of the Pirate King Roger.

When Roger was diagnosed with an incurable disease, the Roger Pirates invited him to join them in order to complete the Grand Line journey. Because he wanted to find the Rumbar Pirates who had entrusted him with taking care of Laboon, Crocus eventually accepted Roger's invitation and completed the journey with the Roger Pirates.

But after the adventure ended, Crocus returned to Twin Capes, where he took care of Laboon while working as a lighthouse keeper.

Having secretly traveled between the Grand Line and the East Blue multiple times, Xia Che naturally knew this gatekeeper at the starting point of the Grand Line.

"Roger?" Upon hearing Roger's name, Xia Che's face also showed a strange expression as he looked at Crocus. "Roger also had Jadescale Disease?"

He also knew Labu; after running into Labu earlier, he decided to see this doctor.

"No, that's not it~" Crocas said with a dark expression, "It's just that it's another troublesome disease!"

As he spoke, he looked at the guy in front of him who was spouting nonsense.

But even he had to admit... this guy wasn't a normal navy officer at all!

especially……

Crocus looked at the group behind Shacher, his gaze sweeping over Robin, the son of the devil, Bartholomew Kuma, and Mok, the new overlord of the East Blue, and he couldn't help but tsk tsk.
