"Miss Viola," Kuma looked up and asked, "Are you sure this is the right direction?"
Viola, leaning over the ship's railing, rolled her eyes, "I never make mistakes with direction!"
"Then—"
Kuma took a deep breath and looked at the massive ship in front of him. He had never tried to launch sothing this huge with just one push, but there was no ti to waste now!
Ginny couldn't be left like this for much longer! She had already slipped into unconsciousness.
Perhaps it was because the last bit of strength that had been holding her up had finally given way, and her body was now collapsing entirely.
"Fly!"
With his cute paw-like right hand, Kuma suddenly swung it and slapped the ship's rear end.
Bo.
A soft sound.
Suddenly, a huge splash of water surged in front of Kuma, and the massive ship had already disappeared.
But far in the sky, a dark shadow was quickly flying away.
At the sa ti, Kuma lightly clapped his hands behind him and shot into the sky like lightning, chasing after the direction of the ship.
"Ahhh!"
The crew on the ship was in complete chaos.
The huge shockwave from the sudden takeoff almost sent many of the pirates flying into the sky.
"Hehehehe!"
Solem reacted quickly, "It's my ti to shine!"
The many golden ornants he wore instantly transford into golden snakes, which swiftly coiled around and captured everyone on the deck.
Tesoro couldn't help but feel envious at the sight.
Even now, he still really liked the Gold-Gold Fruit.
Dragon was also helping, manipulating the wind to blow against the people, pushing them back onto the deck.
With the two of them intervening, the deck quickly stabilized.
And then...
"What is this?!!"
Viola looked up and couldn't help but scream.
"That's really over the top."
Tesoro looked down from the side of the ship and was equally amazed.
Looking down, Tesoro saw the clouds rapidly retreating below!
The ship was flying forward at a terrifying speed that was jaw-dropping!
Looking up, Viola saw a bubble surrounding the ship!
A large ball was connected to several smaller ones, resembling the pads of a cat's paw.
The bubble surrounded the ship, so even at such high speeds, they didn't feel the strong winds coming at them.
"What an amazing ability!!"
Yamato exclaid.
Isn't it impressive?
Back in God's Valley, the world's most prestigious Celestial Dragons considered the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Azure Dragon Fruit of Kaido-sensei to be the most valuable prizes.
The power of this fruit is among the top in the abilities of the Paracia type.
Kuma could even send people to islands he had been to by simply slapping across the sea.
In the original story, Robin was sent from Sabaody Archipelago directly to the Kingdom of the Bridge in the East Blue by him!
Not to ntion global air drops, but at the very least, it's a terrifying ability to drop things across sea regions.
What kind of power would erge if this ability combined with Viola's Clairvoyance?
Sounds like it could be really interesting.
From thousands of kiloters away, directly dropping bombs or similar things onto enemy territory.
It's like a pirate version of an intercontinental missile.
Whoosh!
A sound of wind ca from beside them. Kuma had approached from behind, quickly catching up with the ship that was flying ahead.
He landed on the deck.
"At this rate, we should be able to reach soon."
He said.
"Incredible."
Ian couldn't help but marvel. "What an amazing ability."
Kuma simply smiled gently, "You're too kind, Mr. Ian. It's nothing special."
"Nothing special?"
Ian laughed heartily. "Don't be so modest, Kuma. Amazing is amazing. I'm very interested in your ability."
He said this without holding back.
Suddenly, Dragon frowned, a sense of ominous premonition rising in his heart.
But Kuma only spoke urgently, "Once we reach Hive Island, will we be able to perform surgery on Ginny right away? Her condition can't be delayed any longer."
"Although it's a bit of a downer to say this now, we still need to confirm whether the Op-Op Fruit can work on the Sapphire Scales disease."
Ian didn't take all the responsibility. He said honestly, "After all, the Op-Op Fruit isn't all-powerful."
Kuma's face turned pale.
Before he could say anything, Ian continued, "But don't worry, even if the Op-Op Fruit doesn't work, there's another backup plan."
"What is it?"
Kuma quickly asked.
Ian raised the corner of his mouth, "Have you heard of the Healing Fruit?"
An extrely excited expression appeared on Kuma's face, and he almost scread, "Mr. Ian, you an the Healing Fruit that is said to heal all injuries and diseases?"
Ian gently nodded. "The user of the Healing Fruit is also one of my people."
Although Princess Mansherry is in Wano, Wano will eventually belong to too, right?
Kuma was imdiately overwheld with emotion, tears streaming down his face as he looked down at the unconscious Ginny in his arms, repeatedly saying, "This is great, Ginny! This is truly great! You're going to be fine soon!"
With the combined protection of the Operation Fruit and the Healing Fruit, even the terrifying Sapphire Scales Disease should no longer be a threat, right?
Why go so far?
Looking at the trembling hands of the excited man, Ian couldn't help but sigh.
If he had accepted Ginny's proposal earlier, how would things have reached this point?
Because of the fear of Ginny and their child suffering from the sa misfortune he did, he wanted to push Ginny away.
This guy, Kuma, had never thought of himself.
So, Ian wasn't going to hold back anymore.
"Then," Ian's smile remained, "Let's talk about the reward."
Dragon's sense of foreboding instantly grew stronger, and he almost subconsciously stepped forward, speaking seriously to Ian, "Ian, whether it's wealth or treasures, if you can cure Ginny, we will fulfill any request you have!"
"Exactly!"
Kuma quickly added, "As long as Ginny can be saved, I'll do anything you ask!"
Upon hearing his words, Dragon's heart skipped a beat.
"Is that so?"
Ian's smile widened, pointing at Kuma, "Then work for , Kuma."
"Ian!!"
Dragon's tone suddenly rose.
The ominous premonition was coming true!
This guy had indeed set his sights on Kuma!
"Alright!"
However, Kuma showed no hesitation.
Dragon suddenly turned his head to look at Kuma.
There was no sign of struggle or wavering on Kuma's face, just a serious look as he stared at Ian.
"As long as Ginny can be saved, I will join your ranks, Mr. Ian!"
Then, he turned his head to Dragon and apologized, "Sorry, Mr. Dragon, but I have to save Ginny."
"…"
Dragon sighed.
He didn't say anything more.
What more could he say?
Since this was Kuma's decision, as a comrade, as a partner, as a friend, he could only respect it.
Besides, things had already reached this point, and he couldn't escape his own involvent.
The leak of Ginny's whereabouts, the delay in the rescue operation, the helplessness in the face of the World Governnt.
How could he still have the right to say anything to Kuma?
Dragon could only say, "Go do what you want to do, Kuma!"
"Mm!"
Kuma nodded firmly.
"Good."
Ian was absolutely certain about Kuma's promise.
He had joined the governnt as a Warlord of the Sea for Bonney, so it was no surprise that he would join Ian's ranks to save Ginny.
Moreover, this guy had been so stubborn in the original story that even when Bonney ran away, he still kept his promise and allowed Vegapunk to completely modify him.
He was a man of his word.
Once this man made a promise, he would never break it.
Ian smiled and said, "Well then, leave the next steps to !"
Ginny must live!
