The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 175 You're Too Kind

South China Sea! Kingdom of Sorbe!

The Hibernating Dragon Soaring to the Land of Bartholomew Bear arrived in the homeland of Bartholomew Bear.

Charlotte naturally came here with certain purposes as well.

Despite being one of the world's member states, the Kingdom of Sorbe is a poor country with a large elderly population.

The current king is the kind old king Burdog, and although the people are poor, they live a peaceful life.

Under a clear blue sky, with flowers in full bloom, it was a scene of peace and harmony.

On the grass in front of the church in the small town!

A burly, tall man named Bartholomew Bear, dressed in patched clothes, was patiently relieving the elderly people of their physical pain with a gentle expression.

Pale red bear paw-shaped bubbles emerged from the elderly people's bodies, where all the pain and torment they had endured were stored.

Charlotte watched quietly, a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia

The pain and torment of being expelled can only be completely eliminated if someone bears that pain.

The gentle bear always silently endures all of this behind the scenes, bringing the greatest relief to the elderly suffering from illness.

Even so, this was the most comfortable and happiest time for the bear.

At this moment, he was not yet known as a tyrant, nor was he a ruthless Shichibukai, nor a terrifying human weapon; he was just a young bear cub.

A moment later, Big Bear finished his pastoral duties and returned to the church alone.

"Boss, are you here to see that guy?" Beta asked curiously. He didn't quite understand what Charlotte could possibly have to notice about that guy besides his big build and mild personality.

"He was a gentle man, a true man."

Charlotte's tone was complex yet sincere.

A person born into an ordinary family who possesses the bloodline of the Bakania tribe is said to have a "forbidden bloodline".

Because of this special bloodline, the family of three was captured by agents and taken to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. The father's strength and the mother's gentleness influenced the bear's entire life.

However, in the face of cruel fate, humanity is truly insignificant.

During those hellish days in the Holy Land, the young bear did heavy work, suffered merciless beatings, and experienced the loss of his loved ones. He was not even allowed to cry.

Perhaps, being in such a hellish place, death would be a kind of liberation!

It wasn't until the God Valley incident that Kuma's fate began to take a turn for the better.

He was taken to God Valley as one of the "100,000 prey," participated in the Celestial Dragons' brutal hunting expedition, and obtained the Paw-Paw Fruit in the chaos...

"Oh!!!" Beta exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly became curious. "Aren't we going in?"

Let's go!

Charlotte and the others pushed open the church door. The man who had been full of energy just moments before was now covered in wounds and extremely weak.

"Huh? What's going on?" Beta was very confused. Didn't he know what had happened?

Xia Luochen didn't speak; he knew very well that this kind of thing happened once a week.

"Who...who are you?"

With tears in her eyes, Ginny, with her short pink curly hair, looked at Charlotte and the others who had appeared and asked them a question.

"Traveler! Gillian, go take a look!"

Charlotte spoke calmly, and Gillian had already walked to the bear's side. After examining it, Gillian was somewhat puzzled.

"Get him treated! He did this for the sake of others."

Charlotte's voice rang out, and Gillian no longer hesitated, immediately activating her Devil Fruit ability.

A flash of light, and Bartholomew Bear's injuries disappeared, returning him to normal.

The bear, who seemed a bit dim-witted but possessed absolute kindness, was somewhat surprised.

"A Devil Fruit user?"

Gillian nodded, looking at the peculiar fleshy ball on the bear's paw.

"Yay, that's great, Bear Cub, you're alright." Ginny's tone was full of joy, and her worry had vanished without a trace.

Big Bear smiled.

"Hello, Big Bear and Ginny!"

Charlotte said with a smile.

At this moment, both Big Bear and Ginny turned their heads in surprise, realizing that the other party knew their names.

"Don't be surprised. I heard it from the villagers. There's a pastor and a girl living here. You're very popular."

Hearing Charlotte's words, the two visibly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Thank you for helping the bear cub."

Ginny was all smiles, and even the little freckles on her face looked adorable.

"You guys are really so simple and optimistic."

Charlotte spoke gently, and then immediately arranged for Moke to prepare a banquet, intending to have a big meal here.

banquet?

Upon hearing this, Ginny's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but drool at the mention of food. She grabbed Big Bear's hand and jumped up instantly.

"Bear boy... Rourourou!"

The composed bear pulled Ginny back and looked at Charlotte, asking, "May I ask who you are?"

"Hippefeller Charlotte".

Ginny sniffed, her eyes widening instantly. "You're the greatest pirate of the New World!"

"Oh, little girl, you know me!"

Ginny nodded; she had naturally seen it in the newspaper.

Charlotte then shook her head. To say that the two people she had been with were legendary was an understatement, but they had managed to escape safely from the Battle of God Valley.

At the banquet!

The two chatted happily. Beta and Pende, as expected of the lively group, quickly became friends with Ginny.

They ate meat like crazy there.

Charlotte looked at the 17-year-old bear and said calmly, "Are you planning to live here from now on?"

Big Bear paused for a moment, then glanced at Ginny and nodded. This was the life he had longed for.

"Your forbidden bloodline means you're destined to never live a peaceful life."

Charlotte took a sip of her drink and slowly began to speak.

The World Government will never let Bartholomew Kuma go, and a series of subsequent events have already confirmed his tragic fate.

This happy and peaceful time won't last more than a few years.

Big Bear stared blankly into thought, glanced at Ginny again, and shook his head.

Charlotte nodded. He respected everyone's choices and would not force anyone, except for enemies, of course.

However, his most important goal must be achieved.

"I'd really like to know why the Bakania are feared by the World Government?"

Upon hearing this, the Bakania bear's expression became noticeably tense.

"So, Big Bear, could you give me some of your blood samples? I need to study the secrets behind them."

Charlotte was honest with the bear, suggesting that if a clone of the bear could be created using technology, could it also serve as a model for pacifists?

This was his main plan, and he did indeed need to study Bakania's special bloodline.

Perhaps it's possible to use technology to modify bloodlines and grant people the power of the Bakania race.

These all represent enormous development potential.

When faced with Charlotte's request, Big Bear agreed without hesitation. Big Bear's kindness and willingness to help others are excellent qualities.

"Little Bear, you're so kind!"

Faced with Charlotte's praise, Big Bear scratched his head shyly.

"If you ever need help, come find us on Lati Island!"

Big Bear nodded and smiled happily.

During the pleasant banquet, Big Bear stood up and began to dance the "Nika" dance.

Countless people joined in, swaying and dancing together.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, emotions were freely expressed.

Charlotte watched calmly, this moment of happiness so fleeting yet so beautiful.
