Tap… Tap…
Three days later.
Inside the skeletal-looking building, outside the closed and isolated operating room.
Kuma, who was usually calm and composed, was now pacing restlessly in the hallway.
From time to time, he would glance at the time display and then at the tightly shut laboratory doors, his face full of unease.
Because his daughter has been inside for nearly a full day and night now with no news.
That alone spoke volumes about the surgery's difficulty and danger.
"You haven't eaten anything for a whole day. Why don't you get something first, Mr. Kuma?"
Robin came here and said with a smile: "Bonney is so cute, she must be blessed by heaven, nothing will happen!"
"Thank you, but I really don't have the appetite to eat something right now…"
Kuma expressed his gratitude, but his bloodshot eyes remained locked on the doors.
Because three days ago, he was determined to hand over Bonney to Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit, for treatment.
After careful and comprehensive diagnosis and research on the disease of Sapphire Scale disease, Law discussed and debated with Dr. Hogback before finally settling on a precise and effective surgical procedure.
After two days of recuperation, the operation was officially started. But the operation is very complicated. It is said that even if it goes smoothly, the process may take a day and a night.
Now, a full twenty-three hours and forty-three minutes have passed. How can he eat without knowing the exact situation?
"Calculating the time, the operation should be almost over…"
Robin nodded lightly, choosing not to press further.
She still had faith in Law; after all, he possessed the Op-Op Fruit, and his medical expertise was unparalleled.
Besides, Luke had once mentioned that even if Law were to fail, Germa's research team might still hold the key to saving Bonney.
Click!
Law emerged, visibly exhausted, accompanied by assistants such as Bepo.
Behind them, Shachi and Penguin pushed a hospital bed out of the operating room.
On the bed lay Bonney, her face was pale, and she was hooked up to an IV drip, still unconscious.
"Mr. Law, how is Bonney?"
Kuma hurried forward. Looking at Bonney, who had not woken up, he wanted to hug his daughter but did not dare to do anything. His voice trembled with urgency as he looked at Law, eyes filled with hope and desperation.
"Please rest assured, the operation went smoothly, but she has undergone a major blood transfusion and is weak. It may take another hour or two for her to wake up. She should be able to get out of bed and move around in three days…"
Law smiled and said: "We need to observe the patient's recovery in the future. It is better to stay here for the next month so I can handle any emergencies in time!"
This operation was also a great challenge for him. During this period, he was exhausted due to long-term use of his Devil Fruit ability. He even used Mansherry's tears to replenish his physical strength many times.
But in the end, he had pulled it off.
"That's great, thank you very much!"
Kuma cried with joy, and he bowed deeply to Law. "No need to be so polite; this is my duty as a doctor… and this is also a deal between you and our Netherworld Pirates!"
Law waved his hand.
After this extremely complex and precise operation, he felt that he was getting more and more comfortable with the ability of the Op-Op Fruit.
Perhaps if he could go one step further, he could reach the awakened level that Luke mentioned to him.
At that time, he should be able to complete that special operation for Luke.
"No, a deal is a deal, but I still have to thank you…"
Kuma wiped his tears, shook his head, and said: "After all, I only paid a few tubes of blood and a shadow, but you saved Bonney's life!"
"You can stay with her, but she needs rest. Keep the room quiet, and don't disturb her."
Law instructed before turning to leave.
"Okay, I understand, thank you…"
"Thank you for your hard work, Law."
Robin stepped forward and said with a smile.
"This is what I should do…" Law was not complacent and asked curiously: "Miss Robin, where is Luke-sama?"
"He went out for something."
Robin smiled and spoke. She didn't care that Kuma was here next to her.
Although the zombie kings of the Netherworld Pirates have rarely been dispatched in the past two years.
But it doesn't mean that they don't exist.
If the other party really wants to do something.
That's seeking death.
At this moment, in the Calm Belt, near the South Blue, on Amazon Lily, an intense battle had just concluded.
As the world's most beautiful woman, she is very competitive and unwilling to be defeated by the others, so Boa Hancock challenges Obask Luke, the youngest emperor of the sea, again and again.
After repeated defeats, she finally admitted defeat.
"Hancock, it seems that your strength needs to be improved…"
Looking at the girl who was exhausted and collapsed there.
Luke, who was refreshed, patted her beautiful face and said proudly: "Don't slack off in your practice when I'm not here!"
He had already gained a lot of favor from the three Gorgon Sisters.
In the past two years, the relationship between the two can be said to have made rapid progress.
What should happen has happened naturally.
He would frequently visit Amazon Lily, sparring with the proud empress, delving into the depths of Devil Fruit mastery, and discussing the finer points of Haki training.
"I have always worked hard…"
Hancock, who was sweating profusely, rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "But not everyone can compare with a monster like you, Luke!!"
She is worthy of being the world's number one beauty.
Her every frown and smile was charming and moving.
The indescribable charm and temptation made Luke, who claimed to be experienced, stand in awe.
"You were so confident when I arrived. What happened to that spirit?" He chuckled. "I prefer the untamed, fiery version of you, Hancock. Now, get back on your feet."
Still recovering from exhaustion, Hancock blushed but huffed in defiance.
"I am willing to accept the loss, and I won't default on my debt!"
Despite her pride, she honored her words. And so, she lowered her head in submission.
