Chapter 48 Jade Scales! (Please read more! Please vote for me!)
“Wow! Another me!”
Joelle Bonny looked at the lifelike clay doll that appeared in Storm’s hand, and she was immediately stunned. Eyes shining.
She struggled out of the big bear's embrace and ran to Storm on her two 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.
“Here you are.”
Storm casually handed the “Clay Doll Bonnie” to the real Bonnie.
Since acquiring 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 doll that allows him to easily replicate any creature he comes into contact with.
For example, "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!"
Big Bear, who recovered from the huge mental shock, The moment he heard his daughter's words, he immediately shouted to stop.
Bonnie is young and doesn't know what "terminal illness" means.
But how could Big Bear not know this?
He looked at Storm again, his expression was both humble and pleading.
"No! Don't say it!"
Storm glanced at the big bear lightly 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 lightly tapped "Clay Doll" Those crystal clear gems on Bonnie's face.
“As far as I know, the real name of the disease you are suffering from is——
“Sapphire Scale. ”
Storm noticed it as soon as he entered the church.
Qiao Ellie Bonny's fair and tender face was dotted with several hard scars with irregular shapes and scales.
In the dim light of the church interior.
The scars on Joelle Bonny's face sparkled like blue gems.
Perhaps this is the true origin of her name.
Bonnie is her name.
The real meaning of "JEWELRY" as a surname is "jewelry".
(In the world of pirates, last name comes first, first name comes last)
I have to say.
Big Bear 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...
The life trajectory of Big Bear can’t help but emerge in Storm’s mind.
More than thirty years ago, the 9-year-old Big Bear participated in the Valley of the Gods incident as a slave...
Due to the intrusion of the Rocks Pirates, Big Bear was eaten in the chaos. [Meat Ball Fruit], and escaped from the Valley of the Gods...
At that time, those who escaped from the Valley of the Gods incident with Bartholomew Big Bear were also 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 joined the Revolutionary Army together 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 passed away due to the "Jade Scale" disease that penetrated into her bones.
And then.
Big Bear then 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 will devote 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.
Hmm...
Simply put.
This 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.
Big Bear’s life story.
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 is the saddest thing about Storm?
It wasn’t that Big Bear didn’t accept Ginny’s feelings;
It wasn’t that Ginny gave birth to the daughter of the Draco;
It’s not that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dolag, has ignored this so-called “comrade in the Revolutionary Army” from beginning to end;
but that Big Bear has always been resigned to it!
Big Bear has never really resisted even once!
Storm laments 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.
About a year ago.
After all the hard work, Big Bear 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 is sunlight or moonlight.
All natural light that exists in nature will aggravate the condition of patients with "sapphire scales"!
But even if it resists natural light, the scope of the "Jade Scales" will still 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 Big Bear 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 Mary Joa, her whole body was covered with blue stone-like things.
Could it be that...
Is the current Bonnie going to make the same mistake as the previous Ginny?
Big Bear's pupils were out of focus and 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.
Big Bear, who was already full of fear, couldn't help but hug his daughter.
Father and daughter burst into tears together.
"Bonnie! My daughter!"
"Dad! I'm going to die! Wow wow -"
In the 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 hugging each other and crying, suddenly froze.
"...Huh? ”
The big bear raised his head, revealing a confused face full of tears and snot.
"Cure? Didn't you just say that '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 Big Bear, he is also a member of the rare race "Barcania".
Has a very high racial value.
Big Bear forcibly ignored the second half of Storm's words.
"That, terminal illness or something..."
Big Bear wiped his face casually.
“I have heard doctors talk about ‘Pin lead disease’ before. It is also an incurable terminal disease and has even destroyed a country.”
“Pin lead disease has been successfully treated. It’s a good case, it’s just that you don’t know.”
Storm said lightly.
“As for ‘destroying a country’, you should have also heard of ‘the miraculous man who saved a country’, right?
"The Queen of 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 'Amber Lead Disease'? Or even 'Sapphire Scales'?"
"How strong is the Demon King's 'healing hormone', and can it cure 'Sapphire Scales'?" ', I don't know."
Storm shook his head and said calmly.
“But [Surgery Fruit] can treat Permanent Disease, this is an absolutely unmistakable fact!
“In addition to [Surgery Fruit], I have two treatment directions for your reference. .
"The first is 'The World's Biggest Mind', Dr. Vegapunk. His medical skills are higher than ordinary people imagine!
"The second is 'Germa 66', a man from the North Sea. The evil kingdom masters super-class artificial human technology. ”
