One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Is there something on my face?

The naval soldier, wearing sunglasses and sporting a bowl cut, touched the right side of his face as he spoke.

However, they came up empty-handed.

...because the octopus sausage was stuck to the left side of his face.

Dolly was clearly taken aback by the navy's actions and remained silent for a long time.

The navy officer didn't seem to mind and gave Kitahara Tsune a military salute. Clearly, he also recognized this man who had a considerable reputation in the Navy Headquarters.

Although he did not belong to the Navy Headquarters, but was a member of Navy Branch G5.

With the release of footage of Kitahara Tsuneo's battle against Zephyr, people from other branches more or less learned that the Marine Headquarters had produced a supernova.

"Sir, my name is Vergo. I'm currently in the G5 branch."

Sure enough it was him...

Kitahara Tsune nodded, thinking to himself.

This guy named Vergo is an undercover agent sent by the Don Quixote family to infiltrate the navy.

This person is quite strong, and his Armament Haki is extremely well-developed, allowing him to cover his entire upper body with it.

The fact that I was able to run into this guy means he's already entered the storyline.

"Let's go together, I just picked this guy up."

Kitahara Tsune raised his chin slightly and pointed to Dori, who was following behind him.

Kitahara Tsune said meaningfully, "If we're lucky enough to encounter the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit), this little guy can even testify for us."

Vergo failed to detect the subtlety in Kitahara Tsune's tone, only surprised that this naval supernova actually wanted to travel with him.

As an undercover agent, he specifically chose a time when he could travel alone.

However, he did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

Putting everything else aside, it's worth it to be able to gather intelligence on this naval supernova.

Who knows, this guy might be the next Zeff or Garp.

Dolly, standing next to him, unconsciously shuddered and flinched.

He always felt a sense of fear and unease about this naval officer named Vergo, just like he had felt when facing his father.

The three traveled together, and the snowstorm along the way grew heavier, with snow piling up on Vergo's head.

However, the three of them did not slow down at all, and almost circled the entire Ghost Town.

Just as Kitahara Tsune was wondering why the story hadn't started yet, a ruin in the distance caught his attention.

With his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense a faint life force within the ruins.

Kitahara Tsune didn't show it, but continued walking straight ahead.

Just as Kitahara Tsune had predicted, just as they were about to pass by the ruins, a short figure wearing a leopard-spotted winter hat and a white cloak hurriedly ran up to them.

The three of them stopped and looked at the child in front of them.

The child stood there, taking a few breaths, then seemed to have made up his mind.

He raised his hand, holding a small black cylinder containing something, with the distinctive insignia of the Navy printed on it.

"Here, take this..."

The little boy said, his voice weak and feeble.

This child is none other than Trafalgar Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit.

Luo raised his head and looked at the several marines in front of him, revealing his face.

Kitahara Tsune frowned again. He had originally thought that Dori next to him was already malnourished.

Unexpectedly, the world of One Piece dealt him another heavy blow.

If I remember correctly, Luo is now eleven or twelve years old.

But compared to Dolly beside him, Luo's height was only 3/4 of Dolly's.

That pale face also revealed what kind of life this child had lived before.

Especially the white lines that crisscrossed his skin like paint—that was a form of metal poisoning called platinum lead poisoning.

The world government concealed all information about the disease and spread rumors that it was an infectious disease, resulting in the execution of large numbers of people who contracted it.

This included Luo's parents and his sister.

It wasn't that Kitahara Tsune was overly compassionate, but rather that he genuinely couldn't bear to see children going hungry.

The World Government, under the rule of the Celestial Dragons, really did nothing worthwhile.

"An intelligence document?" Kitahara Tsune bent down, took the document, touched Luo's hat, and asked, "Who sent you to deliver this?"

Seeing that Luo didn't react, Kitahara Tsune continued, "Leave it to me, don't worry."

Wrapped in that cloak, Law's body began to tremble slightly, and his voice also trembled. At the thought of Mr. Corazon's current condition, tears almost welled up in his eyes.

He murmured in a voice barely above a whisper, as if hypnotizing himself: "I should be able to trust you, right..."

Kitahara Tsune appeared stunned for a moment, but inwardly he relaxed and felt a sense of relief, finally successfully getting into the story!

With a kind smile on his face, Kitahara Tsuneo said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, leave the intelligence to me."

"My name is Kitahara Tsuneo. If there's anything else you need my help with, just let me know."

Kitahara Tsune's tone seemed to be full of temptation at this moment, as he spoke persuasively.

Hearing this, and feeling the inexplicable closeness emanating from the tall figure before her, Luo couldn't help but raise her head, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

He actually sensed the same kindness from this navy man he had never met before, just like Mr. Corazon!

That's the aura of justice, sunshine, and warmth!

At that moment, Luo Na's voice, barely audible, suddenly became loud:

"Someone needs help, please, he's injured and about to die."

Luo's excitement grew, and his voice grew louder. He grabbed Kitahara Tsune's cloak, not wanting to let go of this hard-won hope.

"Please, please save him. I absolutely cannot let him die."

"It's all my fault. He got hurt because of me."

Luo choked up and couldn't speak for a moment.

Dolly, who was standing next to him, had tears welling up in his eyes when he saw the boy who was about the same height as him.

However, when he saw the other person's face, which was as pale as paint, he immediately exclaimed in shock:

"It's lead poisoning, that infectious disease!"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsune grabbed Dori, who was quickly backing away, and smacked him hard on the head, saying:

"That's a rumor. Platinum lead poisoning is caused by metal poisoning and is not contagious at all."

As he spoke, Kitahara Tsune carried Luo on his back and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you. Quickly give me directions."

Feeling Rona's icy body temperature and his almost imperceptible weight, Kitahara Tsune gave Vergo a wink.

Vergo immediately understood and draped his cloak over Law's shoulders.

As the first Corazon, Vergo was sent to the Navy as an undercover agent early on, so he naturally had never met the later Law.
