- Don't want to die.

- Can't die.

With only these two things in mind, the boy continued to move forward. With every step, the sound of snow rustling in his ears was heard.

How long have you been gone?

The boy didn't know, for all he saw around him was a forest of conifers and a world covered in snow.

He also didn't know how far he was from what Colonel Malvern called "the town on the island next door."

His hands and feet were almost unconscious, and he had not eaten anything for three days, and had been walking vigorously—and if this continued, the boy would undoubtedly die of hunger and cold before the onset of Perlead's disease.

The body is heavy and sleepy.

"If you just fall into the snow like this, won't you be free?"

The teenager couldn't help but think of this.

(No!) If I die here, I will not be able to repay my benefactor, and I will not be worthy of the Colonel Malvern who went against the will of the World Government in order to cure my illness! ）

This thought made the boy feel excited, and he took out a knife from the bag wrapped around his waist with great difficulty. And then—

"Ahh

Screams resounded through the snowy fields.

In this way, the boy gritted his teeth and stabbed his left wrist - in this way, under the effect of pain, the drowsiness disappeared.

After bandaging the wound, the boy began to walk forward again. He knew very well that in such a bleeding state, it was extremely easy to attract wild boars or wild wolves that tried to forage for food, and once attacked, with his strength and current state, there was only one result.

But he didn't have time to think about these superfluous things, and now his mind was full of one thought - to the town, to the town!

Go to the "town on the island next door," as Colonel Marvin called it, and there, find a way to get in touch with the big man in the Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Polusalino.

(Who is that Lieutenant General Polusalino?) Why did Colonel Malvern trust him so much? Will he help me? ）

The boy who was thinking like this, when his consciousness was almost gone, finally saw it-

"It's ...... light"

You can't go wrong, it's the lights of town!

"I am saved, and now I am saved!"

As he spoke, the young man's footsteps suddenly became brisk—when he entered the town, he would have something to eat, a hot soup, and a good night's sleep in the soft bed!

He ran forward, and in a moment he arrived at the town with its brick façade. The sign erected at the entrance reads "Happy Town" in large letters.

This is the name of the "town on the island next door" that Colonel Malvern told him.

Although you didn't notice it from a distance, there were many people walking around the streets in the town. Then you'll be fine—if you talk to those people, you'll be taken to a warm house!

The young man who thought like this was about to run quickly into the town, wanting to talk to someone after running into the town.

But suddenly, he stopped.

He stood stunned at the entrance to the town, all that had happened to him so far came to mind.

It is the memory of being persecuted because of a disease called Perp Disease, a memory that is disgusted, alienated and even hurt by many.

The past events that I don't want to recall are revived one by one in the memories of the teenager.

Because of those who believed that the disease was a contagious disease, the homeland of the boy, the kingdom of Frevans in the North Sea, was commonly known as the "White Town".

- isolated from the surroundings; abandoned by the royal family; When the war began, parents, sisters, and church partners were killed one after another......

- Hidden in a mountain of corpses, escaped from Frevans.

- Colonel Malvern's cabin on a remote island, only to be found by fishermen, treated like garbage, and thrown into the sea......

It's all bad memories.

On the day the town was set on fire and the people close to him were slaughtered, the boy had already decided that he would never trust anything or anyone again.

He even tried to assassinate Colonel Malvin, the most powerful naval commander in the North Sea, while he was on vacation, in order to take revenge on the world government and the world......

The teenager used to have nothing but despair.

But even so, the colonel Malvin, whom he assassinated and was supposed to kill him, was not a complete lackey of the world government as he thought...... Instead, after listening to the young man's angry scolding, he chose to accept him and help him.

Even in order to save the boy's life, he handed over the devil fruit that was extremely valued by the world government to the boy......

(For me, the world is hell, and I should have had no expectations for anything, but thanks to Colonel Malvern...... Did you find Lieutenant General Polusalino...... I will, I want to try again to believe in people, to believe in humanity! ）

That's what he thought in his heart, but now, the boy couldn't move his body.

As he prepared to walk into the crowded town, he flinched.

Perhaps, he will be persecuted again, and maybe he will be hurt even more seriously than at that time......

Just thinking about it like this, the boy's feet shivered and cowered.

Still, he stepped forward and entered the town.

Walking a little further in, he tried to talk to the man who was removing the snow.

“…… Please, please!"

"Oh, kid, your ......"

(Exposed!) The Perp Disease is exposed! ）

(Glancing at him like that again—disgusted looks, as if telling him "you don't have the right to live"!) ）

"Ah, wait!"

The young man, who had thought so, did not listen to the lady telling him to stop, and ran out of town as fast as he could.

He has completely lost the courage to continue the dialogue.

It's so pathetic.

(Colonel Malvern, though I was once under your protection, but now...... I still can't really trust people...... ）

The boy wandered aimlessly, passing by the shore on the way, and saw a cave, so he dragged his body in.

Although the cave is still wet, it is bearable to stay here with a little dampness compared to the outside.

The boy's stomach growled, and he missed the crepe that Colonel Malvern had bought him when he came to visit him, which was said to be his wife's favorite food......

Hunger and cold, but fortunately, the snow outside did not fall near the cave, so there were many dry branches on the ground, both thick and thin.

The boy picked up a few thick branches at random, and painstakingly made a fire by frictional heat - when he was still at home, he read some miscellaneous books to pass the time, and the knowledge in them did not come in handy at this time.

The boy leaned his hand close to the crackling bonfire, and his eyes moistened.

(It's so warm...... ）

But soon he wiped away his tears, after all, now was not the time to relax and miss.

The option of going out hunting and getting meat back was the first to be ruled out by the boy - he was already frail and now hungry and cold, and although he had a knife, he was food for the predators who would come out on snowy days.

So he found a random branch, tied it to the end, tied the earthworm that he had dug through the dirt to the line, and swung his rod into the sea to fish on the nearby cliff.

It was a rudimentary rod made improvise, but perhaps because Colonel Malvern often told him his fishing stories, the boy soon caught two large, fat fish.

My stomach is already hungry and I am about to reach my limit.

The boy hurried back to the cave, gutted the fish, skewered it on a branch, and roasted it over the fire.

The aroma of grilled fish wafted out quickly.

(Anyway, eat the fish first, recover your energy and strength, then get some sleep, and then think about the future...... ）

- The moment the boy thought this, a sudden sharp pain spread throughout his body!

Hands, feet, head, waist...... Every part of the body was in severe pain, and the pain made people scream loudly, and they couldn't breathe normally!

(Oh no, it's not surprising that it has deteriorated to such an extent at any point, but I'm still careless!) ）

Three years and two months, this is the time when he suffers from Perp lead disease, and the boy calculates the remaining life of his life based on the medical data left by his parents. A year and two months had passed since then, and while he was with Colonel Malvern, the boy had a seizure - in fact, according to Colonel Malvern, it was the painful situation of the boy getting sick in front of him that made him decide to give the devil fruit to the boy for healing.

(Devil Fruit...... ）

(Yes, I ate the fruits of Superhuman surgery.) According to Colonel Malvern, it was the ultimate Devil Fruit that the World Government valued so much, worth more than 10 billion Baileys...... It is as if those who have eaten the fruits of surgery will become "free to transform human beings" and have the ability to cure any disease. But that doesn't mean that you can suddenly use magical powers, or that you can be cured by eating the fruit. Have to...... ）

(Colonel Malvern was trying to tell me what to do, but before he could say anything, the man in the mask appeared in the robe!) ）

(Colonel Malvern...... ）

(If I can't fully grasp the power of this fruit, there really is no cure!) ）

"Damn!"

The boy couldn't help but clench his fists and pound the ground, his fever getting worse, and he could feel that "death" was rapidly approaching him.

His body was completely out of strength, and the boy staggered backwards.

(No!) Can't give up)

(Because the fruit of the operation is Colonel Malvern's life itself!) ）

(If it weren't for me, the Colonel would have given the fruit to the masked robed man and been rewarded as he said instead of fighting it!) ）

(In that case...... ）

"In that case, I must live! Otherwise, that person's death will be in vain! I don't want that!! ”

The boy yelled.

Thump!

Suddenly, a powerful pulse beat out of the heart.

Plop, plop!

The throbbing is getting more and more intense!

P!!lop p

It's like the whole body is like a blood pump!!

But the boy didn't think it was a bad thing, whether it was the medical knowledge he had heard by chance from his parents, or the power he felt in his body that was gradually awakening, it was a sign that it was a turning point that could save his life!

One by one, accompanied by a "buzz", a huge sound sounded!

When the boy came back to his senses, a transparent spherical circle centered on him appeared.

"It's ......"

It was a feeling of being able to see through everything in this circle, and the boy felt as if he could see through even the inside of his own body!

Close your eyes and concentrate your consciousness – brain, heart, lungs, stomach, liver...... Plain as day! From the location of internal organs to the direction of muscles and nerves, it can be easily understood!

"That's what it is...... What is the ability of the fruit of surgery......"

Not only the organs in the body, the boy instinctively knew that everything that existed in this dome could be "transformed" by him! Whether you move objects or change positions, you can control them with ease!

(The inside of this dome is the operating table to me...... ）

The boy couldn't help but think.

(In that case, it can be ......!) ）

The body that was originally dying has rekindled its fighting spirit.

Definitely cure the lead disease and live!

A strong determination motivates the teenager to take action.

Closing his eyes, he once again focused on his consciousness - the disease is a disease that causes symptoms due to the accumulation of a large amount of lead in the body, in this case, just get rid of all the lead!

The boy carefully examined one place after another in his body, and finally, when he examined his liver, he found a large amount of Peryl lead there!

The white and beautiful Purlead once brought prosperity and happiness to the young kingdom, but it was also these Purlead that brought destruction to this kingdom.

Now it is trying to take the life of the teenager......

"I'm going to get rid of you!"

The boy walked over to the barrel in the cavern and instinctively removed the liver from his body alone - there was no pain, no bleeding, as if it were a matter of course, and he succeeded in removing his internal organs!

(Is this the power of the ultimate devil fruit, the fruit of surgery?) ）

The boy placed his liver on top of the barrel.

"Alright, let's get to the main event......"

Although he had the power of the fruit of surgery, the boy knew very well that it was impossible to remove all of his liver. If you do, you will die with or without Perp. So he had to remove the lead from it and then put the liver back into his body.

The teenager first used his ability to concentrate the platinum and lead scattered throughout the liver in the same place like water. Then, the knife was removed from the bag.

Although this knife is not a scalpel, it is close in size to a scalpel, so ......

(It's time to show the results of the medical technology that your parents taught and you learned yourself!) ）

(Human internal organs don't actually feel pain, but the organs that I took out with my ability are still connected to my body, so if I hurt it, I still feel pain from the membrane covering the organs...... ）

"Hoo one-one"

The boy took a big breath.

He couldn't imagine how much it would hurt, and now he understood the reason why his parents said that anesthesiology was the greatest part of medicine.

The boy was ready to come to his senses, and he held the scalpel in his right hand and slowly sliced it towards his liver.

"Ahh!!h

Severe pain came, and the whole body was passed through by electricity, and the consciousness seemed to be torn out raw-

"Ha, ha, ha, ......"

Even so, the surgery cannot be stopped. The boy gasped for breath struggled to maintain his consciousness of being about to break, and cut off the part of the lead that had accumulated in one go.

He couldn't help but let out a painful sound again, feeling like he was about to die of pain first.

But that's not all, he has to make it to the last step!

The boy took out the needle and thread from his bag, stitched up the wound that had been removed, and then put the liver back into his body.

The surgery is over!

Because the platinum and lead in the body were removed, the pain and high fever gradually subsided - the operation was successful, and the boy's life was saved!

"See, Colonel Malvern! I will really be proficient in applying the fruits of the surgery you brought me...... Thanks to you, my life has finally been saved! ”

The boy shouted in the cavern, his voice filled with intense joy, he forgot the pain and trembled.

However, his physical strength was too much to consume, so when he relaxed a little, drowsiness swept over his body.

(There's still a campfire, but it's bad if you lose consciousness.) However, his physical strength has reached the limit...... Not a little ...... Sleep for a while...... Words...... ）

In the consciousness of the young man gradually moving away, there seemed to be a standing figure at the entrance of the cave.

It was a green-robed man with a horrible and hideous tattoo on his face.

(Is it a hallucination...... ）

……

News of the North Sea soon reached the Holy Land of Mary Joy, to be precise, the ancient city of Pan, between powers.

"That Malvin, what's going on?"

It was the bearded Five Old Stars who spoke, and the obvious suppressed anger could be heard in his tone, "Isn't he a former subordinate of the Warring States and an old sailor who has been loyal to the World Government for many years?" And it was he who brought Sakasky and Polusalino into the Navy! ”

"That's why I say the Navy is always unreliable, especially when it comes to this more critical matter,"

The bearded Five Old Stars spoke, "Aren't there many examples like him?" That son of Karp left the Navy with a higher rank than this Malvern, and we even regarded him as the object of cultivation for the highest combat power, and the result? ”

"According to CP0's report, this Marven should have understood compassion when he got along with that teenager......"

The bald Fifth Old Star frowned and said, "It's really stupid, a guy like him, isn't it good to be a tool man honestly?" ”

"The focus now is to kill the teenager and then recover the fruits of the operation," said the blonde Five, "just like we did before...... But who will go this time? ”

"Polusalino, huh?"

The fifth old star, who was holding the long sword in his arms, said, "He is strong enough, and he is also quite alert. ”

"But that Malven is his former commander after all, and I don't think it's appropriate."

"I don't think it's appropriate, I'd better leave it to CP0, it's a little slower, but it's more reliable."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Then again, wasn't Polusalino on vacation lately? Indeed, there is a task that might be more appropriate for him......"

……

"Protecting the Draconians?"

Polusalino, who was called to the office by the Sengoku Marshal, was a little puzzled, "Isn't this the job of the CP0s?" Why would I need to intervene? ”

"The five old stars let you go by name,"

The Marshal of the Warring States was processing the documents with an expressionless face, "Every year at the end of the year, the Tenryu people hold an annual meeting, a big banquet where everyone gathers. ”

"Everybody's together...... Is it because the CP0s are understaffed? ”

Polusalino said.

(I'm about to have a birthday.,Tianlong people are going to have a big celebration of the annual meeting.,Hey,I always feel a little inexplicable...... Before the crossing, someone joked that the yellow ape's face was so casual that it was from the Tianlong, and now that I think about it, I am very scary...... ）

"It's for further security, but also to show that our navy still has enough ability to protect the interests of the world's aristocracy."

The Sengoku Marshal shook his head slightly.

"Understood."

Polusalino nodded—the previous Kuzan rushed to the aid of the Heavenly Gold Escort Fleet, but it suffered a disastrous defeat, which directly led to the distrust of the world nobles towards the navy. Although it is clear to those who really understand that it is not that Kuzan or the navy are not strong enough, but that the enemy is cunning and fierce. But......

Where do those Celestial Dragons know this! Even if they do, they don't care!

"One more thing, you go and tell Sakasky by the way,"

The Marshal of the Warring States said without raising his head, "Marven defected from the navy, and not long ago, he had a conflict with a CP0, and he gave the fruit of the operation to a child. ”

“……”

"Get out, don't disturb my work."

For the first time, the Sengoku Marshal drove Polusalino out in this way.

……

Just like the people of the earth before Porusalino crossed over, the Draconians, who claim to be descendants of the Creator, hold their annual meeting every year, but not on the last day of the year, but on November 22, the day before his birthday, which is said to be the day when the twenty kings established the world government 800 years ago, the true "holy day".

Of the twenty kings, or the twenty families, there were nineteen of them who moved to the Holy Land. In addition to the Nefitaruli family, who now rule the Kingdom of Alabastan, there are a total of nineteen Draco families gathered in Mary Joya - although the Don Quixote family is out of the Huo Ming Gusheng family, the rest of them have not been deprived of their status as world nobles because of this.

Although Polusalino had been to Mary Joya many times, it was the first time he had seen all the members of the nineteen Draco families gathered together—and even among the many Dracos, the Leander Palace, which he was familiar with, was the most eye-catching.

The location of this gathering is not Pangu City, after all, it is only the office of the world government, serious and boring, and the place where the Tianlong people gather must be a place to enjoy more.

This huge banquet hall, for example, is lavishly decorated – the chandelier in the center of the dome alone is pure gold, and it is adorned with twenty round pearls the size of a basketball.

"When will our navy's annual meeting be so generous?"

Standing in the corner of the hall, Polusalino looked at the white-robed agents who were arranging the venue in an orderly manner, and sighed, "Even if you can't restore 100%, 50% of it will do......"

"With the money and manpower to hold this kind of annual meeting, wouldn't it be good for us to randomly launch a demon slaying order for those monster pirates in the new world?"

Poliusalino's side, the Sengoku Marshal said so. Although it was very hidden, Polusalino was keenly aware of a hint of sarcasm in the words of the Marshal of the Warring States - perhaps because it was more relaxed to stay with him, or perhaps because of what happened to Colonel Malvern some time ago......

"The nobles of the world have come over, let's go too,"

Marshal of the Warring States reminded, "Try not to appear in front of them, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Whether it is CP0 or Polusalino, although they assume the role of protectors for the Draconians, this does not mean that the nobles of the world will also want to see them when they gather and eat. Especially on this grand occasion where the vast majority of the world's nobles are aristocrats, any non-world nobles will be regarded as an eyesore by them - even the field marshals and naval marshals who are invited to attend the meeting, as well as the commanders of the whole army.

Polusalino managed to hide in the dark corners of the hall - although he wasn't an agent and he was three meters tall, it wasn't particularly difficult for him to hide himself in such a complex environment as a strong man who was skilled in seeing and hearing domineering. And he is still a fish-touching monster, and when he usually holds a meeting at the Navy Headquarters, he will try his best to reduce his sense of existence, so as to avoid being named and assigned tasks.

Of course, it didn't do much......

As soon as Polusalino stood still, he was about to pull out the phone bug and play a game of his own design, when he saw a group of Draconians wearing white "spacesuits" walk in, all wearing bubble helmets like fish tanks.

(Is it really a holy place?) The air is also extraordinarily sweet? Thank you? People in Mary Joa, just took the fish tank? ）

Polusalino twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly.

With the arrival of the Tianlong people, the annual meeting finally began, and the first project was the leader's speech, which was exactly the same as the annual meeting of the Navy Headquarters.

It was the five old stars who spoke, and each of them said a paragraph, and the content was similar to the leaders that Polusalino had met before he crossed over.

First of all, we will talk about the glorious deeds of the past twenty kings, how they are great, and then talk about the glorious future of the future Draco group, how we can continue to be great......

The live America wants to be great again...... maga!

Of course, the Five Old Stars did not forget to explain to these troublesome fellow clansmen that the Beihai Heavenly Gold had been robbed before, and the remedial measures they decided to take - another round.

After the five old stars finished speaking, the banquet was officially started. Ironically, the gathering of the so-called nobles of the most noble world is actually not as decent as an aristocracy, and it is really like a herd of pigs grabbing food - it can even be said that the pigs that Porusalino has seen in his previous life are more elegant than them.

Most of the Celestial Dragons began to eat and drink, both men and women, and for a while, the luxurious hall was full of food, and the sound of broken plates was endless, and it was not for nothing that there were fights due to scramble.

Therefore, several special Celestial Dragons, including the Leander Palace, were directly noticed by Polusalino. They still maintain elegance and composure in these garbage, which resemble cerebral palsy more than aristocrats, and choose to eat silently with delicate knives and forks, as if they have been completely separated from their surroundings.

And it is worth mentioning that, including the Leandel Palace, they are all together, and it seems that they belong to two worlds with the noisy Draconians around them.

(The heirs of the five old stars...... ）

Polusalino squinted.

"Lieutenant General Polusalino, I'll leave it to you first, the five old stars have something to look for me."

The CP0 who was partnering with Polusalino received a phone call informing him of Polusalino and quickly left, looking like something was going on.

Polusalino didn't care either - the fact that CP0, a more professional guard than him, was able to hand it over to him without any scruples, only meant one thing, and that was that nothing would happen, so he just had to wait honestly until the banquet was over.

But since nothing was going to happen, Polusalino certainly didn't want to stay here all the time - although it may be the mysterious Lord Imu not far away, but he was now his own!

So he slipped out of the small door of the banquet hall - the CP0 agents who were in charge of guarding the place, everyone knew him and had a disparity in status with him, so not only was no one to stop him, but someone was eager to point him out where the sensitive area was.

However, it is a sensitive area, but it is actually an area where people gather who are very out of tune with the current sacred feast, just like the wide, straight Mary Joy's "automatic avenue".

That's right, that's where the slaves gathered.

Naturally, Polusalino didn't want to see this kind of scene that made him feel very complicated, so he avoided this so-called sensitive area in a regular manner. But just as he turned around a corner, ready to find a quiet place to smoke a cigarette—

Several guards in standard armor led the slaves and approached him.

"Lord Porusalino!"

One of the guards who walked in the front took the initiative to salute him respectfully, "We are now going to send the slaves brought by the Celestial Dragon Masters to the banquet hall, and there will be afterlife activities of the Celestial Dragon Lords in a while." ”

"Hmm."

With numb eyes and a scaly appearance, he was chained like a dog......

Although it was not the first time he had seen the slaves of the world's nobles, Porusalino couldn't help but frown.

(Eighty percent of the so-called after-life activities are still slaves' gladiatorial fights...... ）

"Mr. Polusalino, please don't have too much contact with these guys,"

Seeing that Polusalino frowned, the guard kindly reminded in a low voice, "These guys are toys of the Draco people......

"Understood."

Polusalino nodded, and he was about to walk around the lifeless group of slaves who had lost the minimum dignity of being human beings.

But he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes—although they were very hidden, they did flicker with inexplicable colors, which were resentment, hatred, tenacity, fear, anger, confusion...... And so on a variety of complex emotions mixed together in color.

Among this group of numb slaves who seem to be waiting for death, they stand out.

And this appearance, green hair......

That's right, it's Gilde Tezzolo - the big boss who appeared in the theatrical version of One Piece, a ruthless man known as the "Golden Emperor", and a superhuman who has the ability of the Golden Fruit, and the fruit ability has even been developed by him to the awakening stage!

According to the premise of the theatrical version, he is the head of Guran Tezzolo, the world's largest entertainment city, and controls many industries around the world. Nearly 20% of Bailey in the pirate world is in his hands, black and white. He can use the power of money to freely manipulate the Draconians, and even use the power of the World Government. In the underworld, he is the golden emperor who dominates the dark world with money, and his power is all over the world.

But this guy is undoubtedly a tragic character, and his twisted personality is somewhat similar to Porusalino's "righteous daughter" Hancock, both of which are the same overkill - after all, the reason why he became a person who shouted "A guy without money will only achieve nothing, only be dominated", "You are not allowed to laugh until I laugh" is completely because the persecution of the Draconians is so deep that he also wants to become such a ruling class.

However, one thing is certain, although this person's later business empire is said to have been boosted by the golden fruit, it is fundamentally inseparable from the fact that he is a business wizard.

Of course, the reason why Polusalino noticed him was not only because he was a big villain in the theater version, but also because he had actually been targeted by Polusalino for a long time:

On the one hand, the Golden Golden Fruit, a very powerful superhuman Devil Fruit, was collected by the Huo Ming Ancient Saint arranged by Polusalino a long time ago, but it has never found a suitable eater. And apart from Gilde Tezzolo, Polusalino really couldn't think of anyone who could be more similar to him and the Golden Fruit.

On the other hand, if nothing else, in addition to "CP Queen Robin" and "Admiral Ann", Polusalino's "Ultimate Cultivation Plan" also includes Hancock, the future queen of the Amazon Lily - and the Amazon Lily, as a country located in the depths of the windless zone, although the people are strong, but it is naturally difficult to develop in other aspects due to geographical conditions.

And if Gilde Tezzolo, a business wizard who also hates the Draconians, can be used to assist Hancock, the Nine Snakes may become a top power like the Totlan Kingdom ruled by BigMom......

In addition, Polusalino was indeed touched by the look in this fellow's eyes, the kind of eyes that no doubt would hold on to if someone handed him a straw; As long as someone gives him a chance, he will definitely choose to call for help.

Even after being a slave for so long, Gilde Tezzolo was not numb...... Coincidentally, Polusalino was also not numb!
