Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

But that will take time.

Considering Kuma's current mood, Ian still proposed the condition of "den den mushi communication" to Aokiji.

"If it's just a Den Den Mushi (snail communication device)..."

Aokiji paused.

"It shouldn't matter."

It didn't take long.

Aokiji relayed Ian's new request to Sengoku and received permission.

Having accepted the condition of "meeting Vegapunk," Sengoku would naturally not refuse the new request of "talking to Den Den Mushi."

Ian quickly obtained a new Den Den Mushi number from Aokiji.

He returned to the chapel, called for Big Bear, and together they rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Under the earnest gaze of the bear, Ian dialed Vegapunk's Den Den Mushi number.

"Moshi Moshi, are you Dr. Vegapunk?"

"This is Vegapunk."

An aged voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Ian Adrian? Is that the person Marshal Sengoku was talking about?"

Warring States period? Marshal?

Even though Big Bear was worried about his daughter, he couldn't help but glance at Ian.

He knew Ian had connections in the Navy.

But I never knew it was this kind of relationship!

Ian can actually communicate directly with the Fleet Admiral?!

"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk, I know you are pressed for time, so I'll get straight to the point."

Ian asked first.

"To protect the 'patient's' privacy, I'd like to confirm first whether this Den Den Mushi can be eavesdropped on or monitored?"

"Very cautious..."

Vegapunk did something on the other end, and a soft "beep" sounded from the Den Den Mushi's receiver.

"Okay, I found a white Den Den Mushi to prevent eavesdropping, and I also turned off the Den Den Mushi used for surveillance around here."

"Can we talk now?"

Ian looked at the bear.

Big Bear immediately took over the conversation and spoke up.

"Dr. Vegapunk!"

"Huh? It seems like it's a different person? Is it a patient?"

"No, I am the patient's father."

Big Bear quickly said.

"Doctor, have you heard of a disease called 'Jade Scale'?"

"Azure Jade Scales? Ah! Of course I know."

Vegapunk replied.

"So that's why I came to this patient... How is the patient's condition?"

“Bonnie—my daughter, has some blue, stone-like things on her face.”

Big Bear asked, his voice filled with worry and anxiety.

"Last year, a doctor told me that she had jaundice and would not live past the age of ten."

"But she's already six years old!"

Punk Hazard Island.

Vegapunk frowned as he heard the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi.

"You mean that poor little girl has been sick for a year?"

Vegapunk recalled the various records about Jade Scales stored in his mind.

"How is she doing now?"

The voice of the bear immediately came through the Den Den Mushi.

"There are only a few gems on his face, nothing else."

"Only on the face?"

Vegapunk was taken aback.

"This disease will continue to spread as long as it is exposed to natural light."

"Correct."

"Big Bear said in a deep voice."

"Because I discovered this, I have always kept my daughter at home, with the doors and windows closed, so that she can't go out."

“It’s really rare…”

Vegapunk nodded.

"If the patient's condition is really as you describe, then this disease..."

“It can be cured!”

"Really?!"

The bear was overjoyed.

"Can jade scales really be cured?"

"no problem."

"Vegapunk said."

"However, I will need to see the patient before I can make a decision on the specifics."

Despite Vegapunk's words, Kuma was still incredibly happy.

At this time.

Ian entered the conversation.

"Dr. Vegapunk, we are currently in the South China Sea and cannot reach Punk Hazard Island in a short time."

Ian asked.

"I would like to ask, if it is Germa 66, that is, Mr. Vinsmoke Judge."

"Can he cure Qingyulin?"

“Judge? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that old friend’s name…”

Vegapunk sighed, then continued.

"The treatment for Qingyulin is to create new stem cells and transplant them into the patient."

"As long as the patient's condition does not deteriorate to an irreversible degree, this method can cure Qingyulin."

“I’m not sure if Judge knows about the disease ‘Jade Scales’.”

"But if we only consider the treatment method of 'creating and transplanting stem cells'..."

"The Judge I remember should be able to do it."

"He is very skilled in gene cloning technology."

"Thank you very much for your explanation, Doctor."

Ian thanked him and then gave the Den Den Mushi to the bear.

Big Bear then asked a lot of questions about the Jade Scales, mainly about the protective measures for them.

Vegapunk patiently answered for quite some time.

Until Big Bear had asked all the questions in his mind.

Vegapunk then hung up on Den Den Mushi 270, citing the need for "other scientific research."

After the Den Den Mushi hangs up.

Big Bear still looked excited.

"Great! Bonnie is finally saved!"

"Punk Hazard Island is not an easy place to go."

Ian put away the Den Den Mushi and reminded him.

“Big Bear, your identity is special, and Bonnie’s jade scales are too eye-catching.”

"Once you show up on Punk Hazard Island, you're likely to cause unnecessary trouble."

Big Bear suddenly calmed down.

He thought of his race, and the reason for Ginny's illness...

Even if Big Bear wanted to send Bonnie to Punk Hazard immediately.

But he also knew that if he rashly took Bonnie to Pom Island now, he would most likely be walking into a trap...

In that case, not only will it not cure Bonnie's illness, it may even kill her!

"My idea is that since Dr. Vegapunk believes that Germa 66 has the means to cure Bonney."

Ian said seriously.

"Then you can go to Germa 66 first and see if they can really cure Jade Scale."

"it is good!"

Big Bear nodded solemnly.

Ian and Big Bear discussed their next steps and decided on a "split action" strategy.

Three days later.

A medium-sized naval warship has arrived in the waters near the Kingdom of Sorbe.

Those were naval guests who had come from the Grand Line to preside over this "battleship transaction".

As agreed, Ian handed over the three large warships and hundreds of naval soldiers to the other party.

He originally intended to keep one of the warships for his own use...

However, considering the upcoming travel plans...

Ian is heading to the Grand Line.

The bear is heading to the East China Sea.

Leaving a large, unclaimed warship in the Kingdom of Sorbe would only bring disaster to the country.

Ian simply handed over all three large warships to the navy.

Anyway, there are plenty of warships on the high seas.

The old will not go, and the new will not come.

After the "warship deal" is completed.

Ian returned to the Kingdom of Sorbe.

After waiting for a long time, the bear raised its right hand and asked the question again.

"If you're going on a trip, where would you like to go?"

"Alabasta!"
