Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

As the girl lying on the bed gradually regained her fair complexion, a hint of color appeared. Seeing this, the young couple both burst into tears, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

"Lord Xiu, thank you so much. This is the best complexion Kaya has had in the last two years."

"I truly have no way to repay you! I am ashamed of my previous assumptions, Lord Xiu, we will be your partners forever..."

Furukawa Osamu withdrew his right hand from between his chest and abdomen, and seeing the girl slowly open her eyes, he chuckled softly and responded simply:

"After this treatment, appropriate physical activity in the sun will be more beneficial to her recovery."

"As for the collaboration with HEART, you will definitely reap rich rewards. Based on Kaya's physical condition, I suggest that she be consolidated with herbal medicine later."

"After taking the medication for a maximum of two more years, once your body has fully recovered, you should be able to break free from the dependence on the drug."

"Thank you, this is truly incredible medical skill!"

The young couple bowed again in apology, no longer doubting HEART's advertised medical expertise.

They had consulted many famous doctors for their daughter's sake, but every doctor was helpless and could not compare to the doctor, Osamu Furukawa, in front of them.

Luo's eyes widened in disbelief. He suspected that this medical technique was a Devil Fruit ability, but since Furukawa Osamu could swim in the sea, he couldn't figure out how it was done.

"Th...thank you..."

"Dad, Mom, I feel much better, and I'm not cold anymore..."

Kaya spoke in a soft, weak voice about how she felt. This was the most comfortable moment she had experienced since she fell ill; her body seemed to be immersed in a warm current, and she felt wonderful.

"That's wonderful! Kaya, get some rest!"

"Merry, go prepare the dinner! We must treat Lord Xiu and the others well tonight."

"Yes, I understand!"

Wearing a black tuxedo, Merry bowed in response, a bright smile on his face, and quickly left the room. The news that the young lady had recovered also greatly excited him.

The dinner was extremely lavish. Kaya sat next to her mother, glancing occasionally at Osamu Furukawa, who was talking to his father, and then at Law and Baby-5, who didn't look very old.

Once the adults had stopped discussing it, Kaya suddenly asked in a slightly embarrassed voice:

"Um...Master Xiu, may I learn medicine?"

"I also want to become an excellent doctor and help people like me..."

The six-year-old girl suddenly expressed her aspirations, and her well-behaved and sensible demeanor almost brought tears to her parents' eyes again.

"Doctor? HEART will be establishing a branch here in the future, where you can learn some basic knowledge."

"If you want to continue in this profession when you grow up, you'll know where to go for further training."

After Furukawa Osamu gave a brief introduction, Kaya nodded vigorously. The girl wanted to use her medical skills to help more people; she wanted to master that magical power.

The guests and hosts had a great time. Kaya and her family welcomed HEART's planting business and even recommended many wealthy potential clients to Osamu Furukawa, many of whom ran farms and were very suitable for the project.

In the dead of night, the entire village became exceptionally quiet. Furukawa Osamu silently appeared on the rooftop, gazing at the bright full moon in the night sky, continuing to sense the "natural energy."

Although the body can still forcibly synthesize chakra using the "divine tree root," the quality of the spirit body declines due to the lack of external energy.

Furukawa Osamu opened his eyes, glanced at the moon in the sky again, and fell into deep thought:

"A terraformed planet? This level of technology seems to be affecting natural energy."

Osamu Furukawa was absolutely certain that the moon had been terraformed; the traces of mining on the planet were too obvious, and it still retained signs of civilization.

As for the extent to which the planet beneath his feet had been modified, Osamu Furukawa couldn't be sure, as the technology for modifying planets was beyond his knowledge.

Energy still needs to be obtained through the ability to "collect". As long as the energy contained in the spirit body is increased, even the "mother fire" can be leveraged by his own ability.

At the end of September, after becoming the Empress of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock led the Kuja Pirates on an expedition and was given a bounty of 80 million.

The World Government seems to be showing signs of appeasing Hancock, and newspapers are starting to promote her again.

The last person to receive frequent reports of being recruited was Crocodile, whose heroic activities of capturing pirates were frequently featured in newspapers after he became a Shichibukai.

The Seven Warlords system is currently widely accepted, and using pirates to fight pirates is sometimes a more effective method than the Navy.

For the people of Windmill Village, the contents of the World Economic News are too distant. Recently, Karp returned to the village to visit his grandson, and the arrival of the naval hero actually affected business.

Although Monkey D. Garp is 65 years old, the old man is still very strong.

His muscular physique bulged out of his black suit; if he hadn't been indulging in dessert, his mere presence would have been incredibly intimidating...

"Click-clack..."

In the tavern, Garp shared the senbei he pulled from his pocket while praising Furukawa Osamu's actions on Minion Island in the North Sea. The old man was genuinely happy for his old friend Sengoku.

"Rosinandi was able to successfully complete his mission and return to Naval Headquarters thanks to you!"

"Xiaohe is not suitable for frontline combat. This job should have been done by younger people, but there are some problems at headquarters, so we old guys can only come out and relax."

"Don't look at me like that. There are different kinds of justice in the Navy too!"

The God Valley Incident influenced Garp's attitude towards the World Government. He personally released Monkey D. Dragon back then, and sometimes he would praise his son's Revolutionary Army for their righteous actions.

Two years ago, Fisher Tiger attacked Mary Geoise and freed a large number of slaves. Garp had no good feelings towards the Celestial Dragons and had been slacking off during this time, never getting involved in the pursuit.

"No, I don't want to discuss justice. Isn't that child who was tied to the balloon and lifted into the air your grandson?"

"Are you really okay at such a young age?"

When Furukawa Osamu heard the child's screams, his eyes twitched. Both the navy and pirates had their offbeat behaviors.

"Hahahaha!"

"These are all essential training exercises that Luffy must undergo to become a strong man!"

"Excellent naval personnel need to be trained from a young age. Don't worry, Luffy will be fine."

Garp's smile grew even brighter as he talked about his grandson. As for falling from the sky, he didn't care at all. A real man has to overcome the fear of heights.

"Vice Admiral Garp, don't make things difficult for Luffy when you come back. That kid is only 6 years old."

Behind the bar, Makino gave an awkward smile and whispered her suggestion, saying that throwing children into the dark forest at night was, in her opinion, an outrageous act.

"Looks like this kid is quite likable!"

"I won't be giving him any special training these next few days. I'll let him feel his grandpa's love occasionally, hahaha!"

Garp burst into laughter again, while Law, sitting in a corner not far away, couldn't help but wipe imaginary sweat from his forehead. The naval hero was utterly astonished...

"Doflamingo has been sent to Impel Down, but the trial has encountered some problems."

“I don’t want to hide it either. His identity is somewhat special, and Impel Down may not be able to keep him imprisoned for life.”

"The outcome may disappoint you, which is the issue of justice I mentioned."

Seeing Garp's sudden serious expression, Furukawa knew that Doflamingo had most likely made contact with the Celestial Dragons, and justice would obviously be compromised when it came to the Celestial Dragons...

"It's alright, I don't care about it, but Corazon must be very disappointed!"

"In order to maintain the existing order, some things do have to be compromised."

"An imperfect order is much better than turmoil and chaos, Xiu, you should understand, right?"

"The world is too big, and many regions are still in turmoil. The Navy needs to devote more of its power to bringing order, which will enable more people to have a better life."

Garp solemnly explained the role of the Navy, expressing his dislike of seeing powerful individuals harbor hostility towards it.

"I understand. We visited several cities in Donghai over the past two months, and the security here is better than in Beihai."

"HEART can provide some jobs for the public, and we hope that more people will join us."

Furukawa Osamu deliberately changed the subject, revealing that he wasn't particularly interested in any kind of justice; what he needed was a large sum of money to research energy and Devil Fruits.

"No wonder Xiaohe has her eye on this man! Don't worry, HEART will be well taken care of in the East China Sea."

"There's no need to worry about the navy."

"what!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly erupted outside the tavern, and Luffy, who had deliberately popped the balloon, landed with a thud on the grass.

Despite getting a "mosquito coil eye" from the fall, Luffy lay on the grass for a while before jumping up and rushing into the tavern, yelling angrily:

"Grandpa! Do you want to kill me?!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know you've been hanging out with Shanks a lot lately!"

"You're going to be a Marine, so stay away from pirates, or next time you won't be a balloon!"

Garp clenched his fist, the size of a sandbag, and bent down to reason with Luffy. Perhaps because he had been thoroughly beaten by the iron fist of love, the boy immediately lost his anger and nodded timidly.

When Makino pulled Luffy behind the bar, the boy muttered to himself:

"I don't want to be a marine, I like pirates..."

Garp didn't bother with his grandson's emotions. In his view, it was just a child's rebellious mentality. He believed that the child would understand his good intentions when he grew up and become an excellent naval officer.

"The Drum Kingdom has excellent medical technology. I've already made contact with the Navy for you. Cooperation would be something we'd like to see!"

"I'm not worried about your safety in the amusement park area. The other party is one of the 50 countries participating in next year's world conference, and there is no unrest in their country."

"That king is also very outstanding among the constituent countries, and he treats doctors very well. You should be able to get along well, and you might even get policy support at the next meeting."

"Haha, don't miss this great opportunity!"

Garp chuckled and began to subtly suggest that with the support of the Drum Kingdom, HEART's development would be much faster, and directly poaching their doctors would save a lot of training time.

"Then thank you very much, Vice Admiral Garp. I have long wanted to visit the medical superpower. With the protection of the Navy, I am sure it will be a worthwhile trip."

"No problem! Let's have a few drinks too. Makino, bring out all of Shanks's liquor!"

"He actually tried to trick my grandson into becoming a pirate! Today I'll drink all his wine!"

"All expenses are charged to his account..."

Makino chuckled softly. Shanks had anticipated this and had deposited a large sum of money with her. The other party was even more considerate than she had imagined. The green-haired girl blushed inexplicably.

After a hearty drink, Garp took Luffy and left. He had to check on another grandson with a sensitive background, Ace, Roger's son, and he needed to guide Ace onto the right path.

"I didn't expect the naval heroes to be completely different from what the intelligence said... When do we set off for Drum Kingdom?"

Luo asked in a low voice, "Garp's aura is too strong. Although he looks carefree, his fists, which are the size of sandbags, are very intimidating to the boy."

Osamu Furukawa stopped Baby-5 from feeding him, and after a moment's thought, gave a simple response:

"Let's visit early next year. The project at Spidamailz will be almost finished by the end of the year."

"The company will complete its recruitment this year, so let's spend the money we have on hand first."

Luo felt a pang of heartache at the thought of his working capital being depleted, but he was confident in his Devil Fruit ability and medical skills. He believed that as long as he made a name for himself, making money would not be difficult.

"Are you going home? I wonder how Sugar's recovery is going?"

"You must be heartbroken to be abandoned! Boss, let's go back soon..."

As Baby-5 spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, clearly showing that she was once again empathizing with the tragic fate of the Monet sisters.

Osamu Furukawa gently patted the girl's head, thinking of his "toy laborer" plan, and said with a smile:

"You should trust my medical skills. It's just malnutrition. When you get back, you'll see Sugar full of energy again."

"Have you felt more powerful lately?"

Baby-5 nodded vigorously. Mentioning the domineering aspect made the girl especially happy, and she deliberately boasted loudly:

"I can feel it now! Thanks to Boss, I think I'll be able to apply it after practicing for a while longer!"

Noticing that Baby-5 was deliberately looking at him, Luo awkwardly adjusted the white soft hat on his head. He felt that he was Furukawa Osamu's "right hand", but in the end, he was lagging behind in all aspects of his domineering training.

Seeing the girl raise her chin higher and higher, Luo couldn't help but complain helplessly:

"You can transform into a long sword, and Xiu can make your body feel the power of dominance, but I can't do such things."

"Humph!"

Baby-5 gave a smug hum. Her cultivation progress was the fastest. She was baptized by the domineering energy every day, and her body had completely adapted to that energy.

Furukawa Osamu didn't stop the two from arguing. He planned to try to train Baby-5 into a "black blade." Aura and such were not a problem for him. This was also an extremely important experiment.

...

In early October, Garp ended his vacation and left in a high-profile manner, and the Red-Haired Pirates tacitly ended their voyage and returned to Windmill Village to continue their rest.

Shanks laughed when he learned that his drink had been drunk up. Vice Admiral Garp was the captain's old rival back then, a powerful figure worthy of respect!

Without his grandfather's supervision, Luffy has been hanging out with the Red-Haired Pirates for the past few days, and he always looks envious of these free and happy pirates.
