Who made him the Pirate King?

"Wow! Another me!"

Qiao Ellie Bonny looked at the lifelike clay doll that appeared in Storm's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She struggled out of the big bear's arms and ran to Storm on her short legs.

"Can I see her?"

Joelle Bonny stood in front of Storm, her face held high, and she looked at him with a pitiful little look.

"for you."

Storm casually handed the "clay doll Bonnie" to the real Bonnie.

Ever since I obtained the ability of [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit].

Storm only needs to touch the target object to perfectly copy the opponent's appearance.

[Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] The magical ability to "transform appearance".

Paired with Storm's original [Clay Fruit].

A clay figure that allows him to easily replicate any creature he comes into contact with.

For example, let’s take the “Clay Doll Bonnie” at this time.

"Wow!"

Little Bonnie hugged her clay doll with both hands and couldn't help but spin it in circles. She was so happy that she couldn't find her way around it for a moment.

But at this moment, another sentence that Storm just said flashed through her little head, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Well, what is a 'terminal disease'?"

"Bonnie! Don't ask!"

Daxiong, who had recovered from the huge mental shock, immediately shouted to stop when he heard his daughter's words.

Bonnie is young and doesn't know what "terminal illness" means.

But how could Big Bear not know?

He looked at Storm again and said with an expression that was both humble and pleading.

"No! Don't say it!"

Storm glanced at the big bear indifferently and ignored the "father's" difficulties.

He knelt down so that he was roughly eye level with Bonnie, and then explained in a calm tone.

"The so-called 'terminal disease' is a disease that ordinary people will definitely die if they contract it."

Storm stretched out his index finger and gently tapped the crystal clear gems on the face of "Clay Doll Bonnie".

“As far as I know, the real name of the disease you are suffering from is——

"Jade scales."

Storm noticed it as soon as he entered the church.

Qiao Ellie Bonny's fair and tender face was dotted with several irregular, scale-like hard scars.

In the dim light of the church interior.

The scars on Joelle Bonny's face sparkled like blue gems.

Maybe that's the real origin of her name.

Bonnie is her name.

As a surname, "JEWELRY" really means "jewelry".

(In the world of pirates, last name comes first, first name comes last)

I have to say.

Da Xiong really took great pains to give the surname "Qiao Ellie" to Bonnie.

after all……

As far as Storm knows.

Bonnie is not Big Bear's biological daughter, but an "adopted daughter."

This is another very long story…

Storm couldn't help but think of Big Bear's life trajectory.

More than thirty years ago, Daxiong, who was only 9 years old, participated in the Valley of the Gods incident as a slave...

Due to the intrusion of the Rocks Pirates, Big Bear ate the [Meat Ball Fruit] in the chaos and escaped from the Valley of Gods...

At that time, those who escaped from the Valley of the Gods incident together with Bartholomew Bear were the Demon King Ivankov, and——

Joelle Bonny's biological mother, Ginny.

The relationship between Big Bear and Ginny can be described in one word - childhood sweethearts.

However, after escaping from the Valley of the Gods, fate no longer favored this poor "bear".

Big Bear and Ginny spent more than ten years together. The two participated in the Revolutionary Army and became the backbone of the Revolutionary Army.

until……

Ginny was captured by the World Government during an event, forced to become the wife of a Draco, and gave birth to Bonnie.

Because during the process of giving birth to Bonnie, Ginny was infected with "sapphire scales" and was abandoned by the world's nobles, so she was able to return to the sea.

After going through many hardships, Ginny returned from the Red Earth Continent to her hometown where she lived with Big Bear.

After leaving behind her daughter Bonnie, Ginny died due to the "Jade Scale" disease that penetrated into her bones.

And then.

Big Bear took over the custody of Bonnie.

How to say it?

When Storm recalled Big Bear's past history, he couldn't look directly at this man.

Because this is only the "first half" of Big Bear's life.

In the future, Big Bear did not hesitate to dedicate himself to the World Government in order to cure Bonnie's "Jade Scale" disease.

At the cost of "becoming a Shichibukai and being transformed into a robot at the same time", Bonnie's treatment plan was exchanged.

Um……

Simply put.

It is the story of an honest man who was a bitter man, took over the illegitimate daughter of his childhood sweetheart, and then sold himself to "Yellow Mao" as a slave in order to cure his daughter's life.

The life story of Big Bear.

Even if you look at the entire explosion world, it is quite explosive.

That's why Storm called the opponent "Tyrant Bear" instead of "Tyrant Bear"...

How can the word "miserable" describe this life experience?

And in Big Bear's life.

What's the saddest thing about Storm?

It’s not that Big Bear didn’t accept Ginny’s feelings;

It wasn't Ginny who gave birth to a Draco daughter;

It’s not that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monchi D. Dorag, ignored this so-called “comrade in the Revolutionary Army” from beginning to end;

But Big Bear has always been resigned to the situation!

Big Bear has never really resisted even once!

Storm lamented his misfortune.

But he is even more angry than he can be!

"Sapphire scales".

When this nightmarish name reached Big Bear's ears again, his heart was filled with despair.

It was about a year ago.

Daxiong went through a lot of hard work and finally found a doctor who recognized the name of Bonnie's disease.

At that time, the doctor told Da Xiong about the "green jade scales".

Patients suffering from "sapphire scales".

Whether it's sunlight or moonlight.

All natural light that exists in nature will aggravate the symptoms of patients with "sapphire scales"!

But even if it withstands natural light, the scope of the "sapphire scales" will continue to spread as time goes by.

Last year.

The doctor gave Bonnie the diagnosis that the child could only live for five years at most!

What made Daxiong even more desperate at that time was.

He finally found a doctor who knew "Jade Scales".

The other party told him that there was no cure for this disease.

Big Bear vaguely remembers it.

When Ginny came back from Mariejoia, her whole body was covered with blue stone-like things.

Could it be...

Is the current Bonnie going to make the same mistake as the previous Ginny?

The bear's pupils were out of focus and he was completely unable to react normally.

"So, is this disease called 'Jade Scale'?"

Bonnie was silent for a moment. She held the clay doll tightly with both hands and forced a smile.

"I thought it was called 'Sapphire Syndrome'..."

Bonnie stepped back as she spoke.

When she retreated to the big bear, she finally couldn't help but drop the clay doll in her hand and buried her head directly into the big bear's belly.

After a while.

A slight sob came from the big bear's belly.

This sob seemed like a signal.

Daxiong, who was already full of fear, couldn't help but hug his daughter.

The father and daughter burst into tears together.

"Bonnie! My daughter!"

"Dad! I'm going to die! Wow wow—"

In a dark church.

The cries of Big Bear and Bonnie echoed like magic sounds.

"Both father and daughter are crybabies? Is this a family tradition?"

Storm couldn't help but pick his ears and said with an unhappy face.

“The sea doesn’t believe in tears.

"If you have this time to shed tears, you might as well think about how to find a doctor for treatment!"

As soon as these words came out.

The father and daughter, who were still holding each other's arms and crying, suddenly froze.

"……ah?"

The big bear raised his head, revealing a confused face full of tears and snot.

"Cure? Didn't you just say that 'green jade scales' is a terminal disease?"

Bonnie couldn't help but turn her head and look at Storm.

"Didn't you say that ordinary people will definitely die if they get it?"

"Are you two ordinary people?"

Storm suddenly rolled his eyes.

"Just look at Bartholomew Bear's physique and you will know that he is definitely not a normal human being!"

On the sea, some races have "natural abilities" that are stronger than others.

This is an indisputable fact.

For example, the giants.

Another example is the fish-men tribe.

As for Bartholomew Bear, he is also a member of the rare race "Baccania".

Very high racial value.

Big Bear forcibly ignored the second half of Storm's words.

"Um, terminal illness or something..."

Big Bear wiped his face casually.

"I have heard doctors talk about 'Plumb Disease' before. It is also an incurable and terminal disease that has even destroyed a country."

"There have been cases of successful treatment of lead disease, but you just don't know it."

Storm said calmly.

“As for ‘destroying a country’, you must have also heard of ‘the miraculous man who saved a country’, right?

"The Queen of the Kamabaka Kingdom, the King of Monsters, Ambrio Ivankov."

Ambrio Ivankov?

Big Bear's pupils shrank a lot in an instant.

This is his best friend!

Back then, he, Ginny, and Ivankov were slaves who escaped from the Valley of the Gods together!

"Ivankov...can he cure the 'Amber Lead Disease'? Or even the 'Sapphire Scale'?"

"I don't know how strong the Shemale King's 'healing hormone' is, and whether it can cure 'Jade Scales'."

Storm shook his head and said calmly.

“But [Surgery Fruit] can cure lead disease, this is an absolutely unmistakable fact!

"In addition to the [Surgery Fruit], I have two treatment directions for your reference.

"First, there is the 'World's Biggest Mind', Dr. Vegapunk. His medical skills are higher than ordinary people imagine!

"The second is 'Germa 66', an evil kingdom from the North Sea, which possesses super-class artificial human technology."
