Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Noticing that his subordinates were sensible and did not inquire about the price of the Devil Fruits again, Dias Barreus nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Barrerus took out a red, heart-shaped fruit with intricate patterns from the wooden box, a greedy glint in his eyes, and held it up to him, briefly introducing it:

"Simply put, if a doctor were to consume it, he would most likely become a world-renowned 'famous doctor'!"

"Historically, it seems that some people have eaten this fruit and used 'miracle surgery' to treat various intractable diseases."

"But these things are irrelevant to us; money is what we need!"

"Homage to the great captain!"

"oh!!"

The pirates in the room shouted wildly. Dori, who had brought the barrel over, lowered his head and clenched his fists at the ugly scene before him. The corpse was right outside the castle, yet they were celebrating happily.

Just as everyone was preparing to sing and dance, a pirate reeking of smoke hurriedly pushed open the door and shouted:

"Captain, we didn't hear anything, but the treasure vault is on fire and has exploded!!"

"How could that be?! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Barrerus angrily reprimanded his subordinates, but just as he stood up, a heat wave suddenly struck, followed by an explosion.

"boom!!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The pirates seemed used to this kind of thing and were not overly panicked. They orderly grabbed the guns around them and began to guard various positions in the room.

"Idiots, you lot, go put out the fire! The drinks, gold coins, and jewelry are all there!"

Several managers shouted instructions, but found that their subordinates continued to do as they pleased, and the entire room suddenly went dark.

"what happened?"

Still no one answered. Everyone seemed to have gone deaf at that moment. No matter how loudly the men shouted, they couldn't stop their chaotic subordinates from running around in all directions.

Wearing a black feather coat and a red hood, Corazon silently activated the "silence" ability of the Silence-Silence Fruit. He headed straight for his target, put away his gun, and silently passed through the crowd before leaping into the air!

"puff!!"

While still trying to issue commands, Barreus's face suddenly distorted in the darkness, two streams of blood spurted from his nostrils, and as he briefly lost consciousness, the Operation Fruit fell to the ground.

"Successful!"

Corazon, his face painted with clown makeup, let out a silent gasp as he grabbed the Operation Fruit, then continued running at full speed, bursting out of the window in the darkness.

The sound of shattering glass did not come, and the pirates, finally realizing something was wrong, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What exactly happened?"

"boom!!"

Everyone could finally hear the sound, and at that moment, a violent explosion occurred, flames engulfed the castle, and the cries of pirates echoed throughout the area.

"What a hassle! I didn't expect you to hold on this long, so I can't just leave you to die!"

Corazon rolled on the snow, whispered a few words to the black-haired youth, and then carried him on his back. Having obtained the Op-Op Fruit, he was in high spirits and muttered a few more words:

"You must live here, right? I didn't expect there to be such a kind-hearted guy among pirates."

"Thank me! Otherwise, you'd be dead sooner or later..."

"Aaaaaah! It's so hot!!"

Pebbles splattered onto the back of his hand, burning Corazon so badly he jumped up and down, shaking his hand as he sped up, about to continue showing off, when suddenly he tripped and fell flat on his face.

Corazon, lying on his back with his legs in the air, yelled and tumbled with the black-haired youth, rolling directly from the height of the castle to the pirate defense area below.

Corazon inwardly groaned at his seemingly out-of-place behavior. After stopping rolling, he immediately reached into his pocket, confirmed that the surgical fruit was still there, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are these two guys?!"

"That one seems to be dying. What exactly happened up there?"

"A guy in a black coat stole the Op-Op Fruit! Arrest him immediately!"

Several pirates carrying guns looked at Corazon, and after confirming that the person at their feet was their target, they all raised their guns.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The pirates kept firing, while Corazon rolled repeatedly on the snow, rushing to the black-haired youth's side to shield him before muttering with some annoyance:

"If only I could activate my Devil Fruit power immediately! I'm such an idiot..."

Corazon did not choose to escape alone, but instead protected the black-haired youth while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. However, as the number of pirates increased, the dense gunfire eventually hit his body.

Unbeknownst to the group, the black-haired youth lying in the snow was slowly moving his limbs.

...

"Damn it! Forget about my injuries! Get that despicable thief back to me!"

"Take back the fruits of our surgery!"

"captain!!"

"Hurry! That's a deal worth 50 billion Berries!"

Barrerus broke down and screamed in the room; his heart was bleeding!

After finally getting in touch with the World Government through Doflamingo, a middleman in the underground black market, and the money was about to be in their hands, a mistake occurred at the crucial moment.

Dolly saw his enraged father trembling uncontrollably. He had just searched the vault but found no trace of the black-haired youth's body. Now, all he could do was silently pray.

"You must survive..."

"what!"

Dolly, head bowed, screamed in agony. Barrerus brandished his belt, whipping his son repeatedly in a fit of rage, until Dolly collapsed to the floor, convulsing. Only then did he stop, muttering a curse:

"It's all your fault, you unlucky bastard, that I lost 50 billion!!"

"You idiots, get out there and search! You must bring that thief back!"

"Yes, Captain!"

More and more pirates joined the search operation, and when the group discovered that their comrades below the castle were lying in pools of blood, many of them showed fear on their faces.

But as the reminder of "50 billion" appeared, greed replaced their previous fear in the eyes of the pirates. 50 billion, even a small portion of it would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"oh!!"

The angry shouts of the pirates in the distance made Corazon instinctively turn his head to look up. He was shot in several places and covered in blood. Despite being at his limit, he still insisted on carrying the black-haired youth on his back.

Completely away from the castle high above, Corazon quickened his pace and arrived outside a house. There, he saw a boy wrapped in a blanket and wearing a black-spotted woolen hat in the snow and immediately rushed to his side.

Having learned from his previous experience, Corazon immediately used "Soundproof Barrier" to place the black-haired youth in the snow. He then pulled out the red Ope no Mi from his pocket, forced a smile, and loudly proclaimed:

"Luo! Wake up!"

"Look! It's the fruit of surgery!"

Corazon called out loudly to the barely breathing boy. Trafalgar Law opened his eyes; half his face was covered in white skin. He murmured weakly:

"I heard a barrage of gunfire and explosions, then I saw flashes of light..."

"Thank goodness, Kolasan, you're alright..."

"Who is this person? Uh?! So...so beautiful..."

Thirteen-year-old Trafalgar Law, nearing the end of his life, suddenly saw a handsome, dark-haired young man. His eyes widened involuntarily, as if even his lead poisoning had vanished in that instant.

"Idiot! That kind of thing is completely unimportant!"

"Look here! This is a Devil Fruit that can save your life!"

Corazon didn't want to admit that he was also amazed when he first saw it, especially by the diamond-shaped mark on its forehead.

But the pirates chasing them are fast approaching, and he must save this boy with a tragic fate!

"Even if I eat the fruit, it won't cure my illness..."

Luo, regaining his senses, whispered weakly. He had a high fever and was in excruciating pain all over his body. He had seen these symptoms on his sister Rami before, and he had seen them on countless other patients in the hospital.

He was dying and really didn't want to trouble the only person he cared about anymore.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Those pirates are almost here! I've wasted too much time. Hurry up and eat the fruit!!"

In his anxiety, Corazon didn't bother with any more words. He immediately leaned forward, pinched the boy's mouth, and then forcefully stuffed the red heart-shaped fruit inside.

"Um...uh! What are you...doing..."

"Eat the whole thing! There's really no time..."

Corazon kept moving Law's mouth to make sure he had chewed up and swallowed the Devil Fruit before sitting down on the snow, panting heavily.

"Korasan, I don't want to become..."

"Kora-san!!"

Seeing Corazon suddenly collapse in the snow, Luo rushed over and shouted to ask what was wrong, but received no response. He then used all his strength to turn Corazon over.

Upon seeing Corazon's gunshot wounds to his chest and thigh, tears welled in Luo's eyes, and he choked out, "..."

"How could this be? Aren't you supposed to be very strong?!"

"Was it to save that guy? Hey, you said you weren't in the Navy! Why...?"

"Cough... Because of the trade involving the Op-Op Fruit, those pirates returned to this town, and we indirectly caused the deaths of the residents here..."

“Since there are survivors, I can’t just sit idly by. I have to tell them the truth, otherwise what’s the difference between me and those guys who concealed the truth about ‘White Town’?”

"The residents here are innocent; they have the right to know everything..."

As Corazon finished speaking, he started panting heavily again. Law, who had studied medicine since childhood, knew that if things continued like this, the other person would definitely die, so he immediately tried to use his Devil Fruit power.

"Healed! Healed! Why didn't anything happen?!"

"Ha... Devil Fruits aren't magic. Just help me stop the bleeding, and I can even buy you some time..."

"One last favor: there are naval surveillance ships on the West Coast. Give this 'little bucket' to the Navy, and they'll know what to do once they see it."

Luo took the small metal bucket with a clasp and naval insignia from Corazon's hand. Seeing the solemn look on Corazon's face, he asked in a low voice:

"Is this thing more important than your life?"

"It can save that distant kingdom called 'Dressrosa'."

Corazon gave a brief response, and seeing that Law was still hesitating, he urged him again:

"Get moving, Law. Once you've handed him over to the Navy, don't come back!"

"I'll hide this guy well. Whether we survive or not is up to fate. You must leave this island as soon as possible to cure your illness..."

"Korasan!"

Luo let out a low cry as he was pushed out of the "soundproof wall." He watched as Corazon smiled and gave him a "V" sign. Finally, he pursed his lips and staggered off.

Watching the boy's retreating figure, Corazon moved to the base of the wall and let out a long breath. Then, turning to look at the black-haired youth wrapped in a tattered coat, he subconsciously murmured:

"It's such a shame that someone so beautiful died here..."

"You should use 'handsome' more appropriate. I didn't expect you to not give up on me and to run all the way here."

Corazon didn't react immediately upon hearing the slightly cold voice. It wasn't until he saw the black-haired youth open his eyes and noticed those peculiar eyes that he jumped up in fright and exclaimed:

"Huh?!!"

"Ouch! It hurts! It's bleeding again..."

Corazon, who had fallen to the ground, complained loudly. Noticing the slightly strange look in the dark-haired youth's eyes, he breathed heavily, somewhat embarrassed, and then asked in a low voice with curiosity:

"I found you at the mayor's house, um, what's your name?"

"Just call me Osamu Furukawa. Thank you for taking me away from that dangerous area."

"Osamu Furukawa? A strange name..."

Corazon instinctively muttered a complaint. He tried to move his body, but his injuries were too severe, and he needed to rest for a while longer. So he continued to ask curiously:

"Um... I mean, are your eyes really okay?"

"Red ones, and more?! Hmm, right, magatama, could it be some kind of special disease?"

"Ha...ha, it's alright. Once we escape from here, Law can use the Op-Op Fruit to heal everything. You don't need to worry!"
