One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

"Hoo... Anya boy, are you really a ten-year-old child?" Eva wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Long, standing to the side, was also sweating profusely. He was unsure whether Anya's growth would be a good thing or a bad thing.

"Don't be shocked. If you saw the people of Ohara being killed with your own eyes, you might do the same. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself." Anya said this without blinking.

Anya then made up some stories, such as how her parents were brutally murdered by the Celestial Dragons, how the captain who adopted her died because he clashed with a Celestial Dragon, and how she almost died herself.

After hearing Anya's tragic story, Dragon and Eve fell silent. This child was only ten years old, yet she had already experienced the massacre of her hometown, the destruction of her fleet by the Celestial Dragons, and the Ohara incident...

Well, Long asked himself honestly, and he felt that Anya's actions seemed normal.

In any case, he and Eva would never let the king go; they might just make his death a little easier.

Without saying anything more, the two led Anya into the kingdom's underground prison.

With a loud bang, Long, Eva, Anya, and the others appeared before Big Bear and the others.

"Bear, Ginny, it looks like you've been captured. I've come to pick you up."

"Hey, big brother?!" Ginny looked at the figure in surprise.

"Eva, who's that next to you?" Bear recognized Monkey D. Dragon at a glance. Just recently, he and Ginny had been discussing this legendary figure.

The bear deeply admired the dragon and hoped that he could one day save more people in other countries, just like the dragon.

"Hey, Bear, if you're still the same person you were back then, then come with us and change the world!"

Eva earnestly invited Xiong to join the dragon's team.

When Long saw Xiong, he was inevitably shocked. He felt that he had seen this person before when he was in the Valley of the Gods.

Moreover, they also have Bakania ancestry.

At Eva's invitation, the prisoners were all willing to follow the dragon, forming a force to be reckoned with.

After the bear left, what came into view was the ruins of the Kingdom of Sorbe.

The first thing Big Bear did was run to the injured people and fling out all his pain.

Looking at the busy bear, Anya also recalled the bear's life.

The Xiong family was captured and enslaved in the Holy Land when they were young, and all they did every day was torment them.

The mother was brutally murdered by the Celestial Dragons, and the father was shot on the spot simply for disturbing the Celestial Dragons with his storytelling.

After the bear reached adulthood, it treated the wounds of the entire village once a week, and all those wounds were transferred to him.

Eight years from now, Ginny will also be captured by the Celestial Dragons and made their "wife".

After Ginny passed away, she left behind Bonnie, who then inherited the strange illness. This led to the bear becoming a mindless machine in order to treat Bonnie's condition.

Except for the time he spent with Ginny, there was not a single sweet moment in Xiong's life.

This poor yet gentle man, perhaps this is his way of surviving.

While the bear was recovering from its injuries, the dragon and Eva stared at the individual wisps of air, somewhat bewildered.

Ginny bit her lip, feeling sorry for the bear, and then quietly told the two of them about the bear's abilities.

"What?! Xiong actually?! That idiot!" Upon hearing this, Eva immediately tried to stop Xiong.

But Ginny stopped her: "That's just the kind of person Xiong is, isn't he?"

Eva suddenly calmed down. Yes, Xiong had always been very gentle. In God Valley, he saved five hundred people all by himself. He was willing to die himself.

Just as Xiong was about to accept the pain, Anya suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, you, Xiong, are you an idiot? Why are you taking all this pain on yourself?"

Anya casually picked up a royal soldier who wasn't quite dead yet and threw him directly into the group of soldiers in pain.

As a result, the king's soldier simply swallowed the poison and died from the pain.

Upon seeing this, the bear's eyes widened suddenly as it stared at the child, and it roared, "What are you doing? They're already prisoners, aren't they? Why are you killing him!"

"What, can't prisoners be killed? I didn't see these bastards showing the slightest mercy when they were killing civilians," Anya said coldly.

"Why are you so cruel to them?" the bear said angrily, because he felt that people should not die so cruelly.

"Cruel? Being cruel to the enemy is being kind to yourself. In other words, bear, your life is very valuable. What if you absorb pain every day and end up with irreversible hidden injuries?"

The pain of these people is not untreatable; it's just that it has been going on for a while. But if you absorb the pain of others every day, you are being irresponsible to yourself.

Your life could save countless lives, instead of just focusing on these few dozen. If it were a matter of dozens of deaths for your survival, I would choose you without hesitation, because your value far outweighs that of the others.

Anya spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"How can people be measured by value! Every life is precious!" the bear roared.

"Oh, really? Then let me ask you, Bear, if you could save thousands of lives in the future, but now you have to die for a hundred ordinary people, what would you choose?"

"I would choose to die now for a hundred people!" Big Bear replied firmly.

"If you could save hundreds of thousands of lives in the future, but now you had to die for ten ordinary people, what would you choose?"

"I..." Big Bear hesitated.

"Furthermore, if you could save millions of lives in the future, but had to die for an ordinary person right now, what would you choose?"

Big Bear fell completely silent.

"Hehe, this world is not an ideal place, but a realistic and cruel one. Even a ten-year-old like me understands this, so why can't you understand it?"

War kills people, and so does reform of the world, but the death of a hundred insignificant people is better than the death of one important one! Want to avoid death? That's naive!

After saying all this, Anya flew back to the ship and didn't say another word to Xiong.

Ginny and the others fell silent for a moment, asking themselves honestly, and realized that the bear's life was indeed much more important to them than that of the civilians.

If it's for the sake of the bears, they will definitely abandon some civilians.

Because the civilians rescued won't help them at all! But by saving the bear, more people can be saved in the future. This isn't a choice, it's a must.

Dragon was also pondering Anya's words. Yes, it was impossible to resist the World Government without people dying, but it depended on who died.

From an ideal perspective, everyone's life is of course equally important, but in reality, those with ability will definitely be given priority over ordinary people.

The bear remained silent for a long time.

Until an old woman patted him on the back.

"Bear, thank you for healing our wounds. We never knew that our pain would be transferred to you. If we had known this earlier, we would never have sought your treatment."

"Yes, Xiong, what you're doing is insulting us. How could we possibly harm you for a minor illness!"

Those who had been treated by the bear gathered around it, angrily saying, "Bear, we won't ask you for treatment again! This injury isn't fatal!"

"Yes, I won't allow you to treat my illnesses anymore!"

Clearly, in the hearts of these people, the bear was also an important person. If the bear were killed because of them, they would probably live with guilt for the rest of their lives.
