Simultaneous Transmigration: Why is it all One Piece world?

"We're here to rescue you."

Bonnie's eyes widened for a moment, then she pouted and raised her chin slightly. "You're lying! I don't need you to save me. My illness will be cured when I'm ten, right, Daddy?"

She turned her head and looked at Big Bear, her eyes filled with certainty, not because she knew it was true, but because she believed what her father said.

Dad said it will get better when I'm ten, then it definitely will!

Big Bear's lips moved, and a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

He didn't want to deceive his daughter, but he didn't want her to know the truth either. His throat bobbed, and he was about to speak when Nock's voice rang out first.

"But I can cure your illness much earlier, wouldn't that count as saving you?"

Bonnie paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Really?"

"certainly."

"Of course!" Bonnie sat up straight from the bear's arms, clapped her little hands, and her expression changed from wary to excited. "You're such a good person!"

Big Bear looked at Nok with a complicated expression.

He wanted to believe, yet dared not, fearing that if he did, it would all be for nothing in the end.

"The disease called Jade Scales," Nock began, speaking slowly and deliberately, "will be cured in about 120 years."

Ace's eyes widened, then a relieved smile appeared on his face. "Oh, so it will be conquered in 120 years! Then this little girl can be saved in 120 years, right? That's wonderful—" What a load of rubbish!

His fangs were bared as he roared at Nok. "She'll be ashes in 120 years!"

Big Bear's eyes dimmed slightly. So it was another lie after all? This time they've even fooled people for 120 years!

Nok wiped the drool off his face, his lips twitching as he reached out and slapped Ace on the head, pinning him to the wall.

"Wait until I finish speaking, you bastard!"

He looked at the bear seriously, "But I can see the future, so I know how to treat it."

Yamato peeked out from the side, her eyes sparkling. "Wow, that's amazing! No wonder you know so much, Nok! Is that the power of the Awesome Fruit? You truly are an awesome person!"

boom.

Yamato also flew out, keeping Ace company with his image imprinted on the wall.

The bear raised its head again, and the flame of hope was rekindled.

"So what should I do?"

"An honest man like you, I don't like making deals; I'd much rather be friends with you. So, I'd actually be very willing to treat your daughter's illness for free. But after that, would you be willing to do me a few favors?"

Bonnie peeked out from behind the big bear, her little face showing wariness again. "Isn't this still a transaction?"

Nock looked down at the little guy and grinned: "What do you know, little one? Since it's voluntary, that's called friendship, it means we're friends."

Bonnie tilted her head and thought for a moment, then snorted and buried her face in the corner of the bear's clothes.

Big Bear lowered his head, looking at his daughter's pink hair and the dark blue crystals on her cheeks, and stared for a long time.

Then he looked up at Nock.

"Okay, I'd love to."

No matter what Nock wants him to do, even if it's actually a deal with the devil and he'll become a puppet, he won't complain at all as long as it saves Bonnie!

Nock nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips. He extended his hand. "Then it's settled."

Big Bear looked at the hand, paused for a moment, then stretched out his own large, fleshy hand and grasped Nok's hand.

...

Nock took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Big Bear. It was covered with a string of drug names and dosages. "Some of these drugs are common, and some are not so easy to find, but with your abilities, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Hmm... but if you really can't find it, maybe you can try looking in the Golden City."

"I see."

Big Bear took the paper, and even a tough guy like him couldn't help but tremble slightly at that moment. "Bonnie, we need to leave for a bit."

Bonnie blinked and snuggled back into the bear's arms. "Where are we going?"

"Go find the medicine that can cure you."

Bonnie's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously. "Okay! Then Daddy, hurry up!"

Big Bear stood up, holding Bonnie in one arm, and walked out of the cave.

"Are you ready, Bonnie? We're leaving."

...

"Bonnie?"

"dad."

Bonnie's voice came from inside her arms, muffled, as if something was pressing down on it.

Big Bear paused for a moment.

"Dad, actually, I wasn't going to get better by the time I was ten, right?"

Big Bear's body stiffened slightly. He opened his mouth, but remained silent.

"...I'm sorry, Bonnie."

Bonnie didn't complain. She just nuzzled her face against the bear's chest like a spoiled kitten, her voice soft. "I don't blame you, Daddy. I know you've tried your best."

Big Bear's eyes reddened again.

"But," Bonnie looked up, her round eyes fixed on the bear, unblinking, "this time I'm really going to be saved, right?"

Big Bear lowered his head, looked at his daughter's face, took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and then nodded vigorously.

"Definitely."

Bonnie smiled, like a little flower finally about to bloom.

The bear stepped out of the cave without further hesitation.

As the sunlight streamed in, he held Bonnie close to his chest, protecting her from the scorching sun.

Then he raised his hand and gently patted himself, activating the Paw-Paw Fruit's power. With a whoosh, the two of them shot out like cannonballs, drawing an arc in the air before disappearing into the horizon.

Viola emerged from the cave, shading her eyes with her hand as she looked at the increasingly smaller black dot, and exclaimed, "What a convenient ability!"

Nock glanced at her. "Yours is good too."

Viola paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips. "Then I'll take that as a compliment."

"Think whatever you want."

A series of clanging sounds came from behind. Ace and Yamato finally managed to pry themselves off the wall, walking over covered in dust. Ace rubbed the back of his head, muttering, "That was really ruthless," while Yamato innocently brushed the dust off himself.

"I'm hungry!" Ace shouted.

"I'm hungry too!" Yamato exclaimed.

Baby-5 immediately stood up straight, clenched her fists, and said, "Yes! I'll go back and cook right away!"

She jogged towards the ship, her ponytail swinging behind her. Ace watched her retreating figure and suddenly remarked, "Baby-5 is so obedient it makes me feel guilty."

Yamato nodded silently, but inexplicably felt a sense of shared misfortune.

After all, they are all children who lack love.

......

With plenty to eat and drink, the days fly by.

Three days later, a ship appeared on the sea.
