One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

Dragon, however, was surprised and asked, "Doctor Law, are you saying that Bonney might be sick too?"

"It's not 'might.'"

Law replied, "It's one hundred percent. That woman contracted the Sapphire Scales disease while pregnant, and there's no way the child will escape it."

Dragon clenched his fists. "That bastard!!"

Ginny had already told them that the Sapphire Scales disease was caused by Saturn's experiments.

That scum, actually using a pregnant woman as an experiment!

The Celestial Dragons truly are pests that shouldn't exist in this world!

"However, don't worry, the child's symptoms haven't appeared yet, and the condition is very mild,"

Law patted his face, trying to shake off his dizziness, "A few surgeries should be enough to resolve it."

Dragon finally let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, Doctor Law."

"You're welcome."

Law shook his head, yawning as he left.

The surgery had indeed exhausted him.

Outside the basement door, only Ian and Dragon remained.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After a long silence, Dragon finally spoke. "Ian, please don't make things difficult for Kuma in the future."

Kuma would stay here, becoming Ian's subordinate, and that was an unchangeable fact.

"I've never had the habit of making things difficult for my comrades."

Ian casually said.

To be honest, you don't seem to have the right to say that to me.

"That's good," Dragon sighed, "Kuma and Ginny have lived such a hard life. It's better that they stay with you. Let them live a good life."

After the chaos in Mariejois, the World Government will undoubtedly make a full-scale effort to hunt down the Revolutionary Army.

It's actually a good thing that Kuma and Ginny are leaving the Revolutionary Army at this point.

Though the Revolutionary Army's strength is severely weakened because of it, the two who were born to be mistreated by the world deserve to experience a little kindness from the world.

Ian glanced at the guy.

Call him cowardly or the Sweat King, but one thing is certain.

This man is truly a good person.

Not just a good person, but the only one in this rotten world who wants to overthrow the World Government and create a beautiful new era, where everyone can live happily.

"Ian, what exactly do you want to do?"

Dragon suddenly asked.

The topic shifted so quickly?

Ian smiled, "Nothing big. I just simply want to live peacefully in this world."

"Peacefully?"

Now it was Dragon's turn to look at Ian in surprise.

What does that mean?

"Don't worry," Ian chuckled, "At least before we overthrow the World Government, we are on the same side."

The World Government is indeed too powerful.

By comparison, the Revolutionary Army is much easier to deal with.

Dragon gently nodded.

He thought the same.

It was impossible for the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the World Government on its own.

To achieve this great feat, one that had eluded anyone for centuries, numerous forces across the seas would have to unite.

At that moment, a loud cry echoed from the basement behind them.

Ian and Dragon turned their heads.

"It's Ginny," A sincere smile appeared on Dragon's face. "It's been a long time since I've heard her voice so full of energy, even if it's a cry."

Ian chuckled lightly. "It's a cry of happiness."

She didn't have to die. She could live on with her loved one. The happiness of a life together was right in front of her. How could she not cry with joy?

"Then, I'll leave them to you."

Dragon said seriously.

"Of course."

Ian nodded lightly.

To ensure that Kuma and Bonney would help him, Ian would, of course, make sure this family lived happily under his care.

"By the way," Dragon suddenly remembered something and spoke up, "That boy named Ace, is he with you?"

Ian was a bit puzzled but still nodded lightly, "That's correct. He's also my companion now."

"That's great."

Dragon sighed in relief. "I forgot to mention, when we were in the Goa Kingdom, we saved a kid named Sabo."

"That kid is Ace's brother and has been worried about Ace's condition."

"Sabo?"

Ian raised an eyebrow.

Was this some kind of fateful development? Did Sabo end up joining the Revolutionary Army?

But now, Luffy had been taken to the Marine Headquarters by Vice Admiral Garp.

Which means the three brothers from the original story were now on three completely different paths: the Marines, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army?

Interesting, isn't it?

Let's see who among them will achieve more in the future.

"Ace is also very worried about him."

Ian said, "I'll pass this message on to Ace."

"That's great."

Dragon smiled.

Sabo, that kid, is a good candidate for the Revolutionary Army. He has a deep dissatisfaction and questioning of the decaying nobility.

He sighed slowly, "I'll go say goodbye to them."

"In such a hurry?" Ian asked.

"You should be well aware of what the Revolutionary Army is about to face," Dragon said seriously. "I need to get back and oversee the situation."

Ian nodded lightly. "Don't forget to contact Umit if you need anything regarding weapons."

Dragon smiled, pushed open the basement door, and walked in.

Low murmurs came from inside, but Ian couldn't be bothered to listen carefully. It was probably just some reminiscing and farewells.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Dragon walked out with slightly red eyes.

"Ginny wants to thank you."

He told Ian.

"Really?"

Ian nodded gently.

"I'll be leaving now."

Dragon turned into the wind and said, "I'll come visit them when I have time."

Oh?

Is this a warning?

Ian smiled lightly, using his Observation Haki to sense Dragon flying out of Hive Island, heading towards the distant sky.

Only at this moment did Ian push open the basement door and walk inside.

On the hospital bed, Ginny had already propped herself up slightly, resting against the arm that Kuma had laid across the bed.

Yes, one arm was more than enough, considering the significant size difference between them.

The woman, who had just woken up, was still weak, and the scales on her face made her appearance more ominous.

However, at this moment, all Ian saw in her was pure happiness and a deep sense of motherhood.

Ginny's eyes, soft as water, gazed at Kuma, who sat by the bed, holding their daughter in his arms, gently patting the baby's back.

Kuma, too, looked at them with a contented expression. At this moment, he likely wouldn't have minded if he were asked to die—there was nothing for him to complain about.

Though it was a bit strange, this family of three certainly painted a beautiful picture, one that could rightfully be called "happiness."

"You're Ian, right?"

Ginny looked at Ian. "Kuma has told me all about you. I'm really, really, really grateful!"

"If it weren't for your help, I would definitely have died by now."

"It's nothing."

Ian casually responded. "It was a deal I made with Kuma."

"If you really want to thank me," Ian smiled, "then live well. Kuma is a partner I have great faith in, and you are the source of his strength."

For both Kuma and Bonney, this woman had to live a happy life.

Ginny looked at Kuma.

Kuma smiled and nodded at him.

So, Ginny also smiled at Ian and said, "Mm, no matter what, I will live well."

The happy life had only just begun.

The little baby in her arms suddenly began giggling, stretching her hands toward Kuma.

Kuma was momentarily stunned but raised his left hand, allowing the baby to grasp his fingertips.

At this moment, Kuma displayed an incredibly happy smile.

This was exactly what he had always longed for but had never possessed.

Kuma seriously said to Ian, "Mr. Ian, I will work hard for you."

To protect the happiness he now had, he would never hesitate.

Ian smiled lightly.

This was the resolve he wanted.
