Chapter's Events:

—————————

"You're Trafalgar Law, from North Blue, right?"

"You have my thanks for saving my life…!!"

At this moment, Jimbei emerged onto the submarine's deck. His wounds were bandaged, and he had received medical care as well.

"If you don't sleep, you'll die," said Trafalgar Law.

"My heart won't calm down… it's futile… What I've lost this time was too important to me!!!"

Jimbei sighed sadly, especially when he remembered Luffy.

"And compared to that, Luffy's loss was even deeper… when he lost consciousness, it must have been a defense mechanism to prevent him from losing his life."

"I'm more worried about what happens when he wakes up…" Jimbei was genuinely concerned about this.

…

"You, beast! Do you have a denden mushi?"

The beast Hancock referred to was Bepo, who responded quickly.

"We do."

"Ah! Yes, we do… sorry…"

Two other members of the Heart Pirates spoke up behind Bepo.

"It must be nice, being like the empress's slave…"

Hancock looked at Jimbei, Law, and Ivankov and said,

"If we call the Kuja Pirate's ship, we can pull this submarine across the calm belt!!"

She then added, "If the Government learns that Luffy is alive, they'll definitely come after him."

"We'll hide him on the Isle of Women."

"And if I'm still one of the Shichibukai, he can safely recover there."

•———•———•———•———•

Amazon Lily:

"It seems our princess is sad about the misery and pain that befell her beloved."

Gloriosa took the initiative to tease the young Hancock who was with her today.

"Fufu~ It's clever to repeatedly exploit her position as a Shichibukai to help Luffy in every way possible." Shakky also added.

"Will Luffy be alright?"

The young Hancock seemed worried about Luffy's safety, especially after seeing the last scene of him in the medical bed with all those medical devices keeping him alive.

"Of course, he will be. Isn't he the protagonist of this story? Without him, it would completely end, wouldn't it?"

"There would be no more Straw Hat Pirates, and no one would inherit Ace's will too."

"And no one would become the next Pirate King, leaving the world in the wrong hands forever."

At that moment, Rob emerged from the teleportation room, his words arriving before he did.

Rob appeared in the art store lobby, carrying three infants in his large, and strong arms, doing his best to hold them gently.

Seeing the three babies in Rob's arms, both Gloriosa and Shakky instinctively smiled.

These three babies were the new members of Rob's large family.

The baby with yellow hair was Sanji, his son with Sora.

The baby girl with black hair was Reiju, his daughter with Sora.

For some reason, she inherited her father's hair color and his pale yellow eyes, although her overall appearance was not much different from the original.

The baby girl with green hair was Hiyori, his daughter with Toki.

They were born only 15 days ago and hadn't completed their first month yet. After much thought, Rob decided to give them their true names to preserve the essence of their characters. However, in this life, they were his biological children instead of belonging to other characters, after he seized the fates of these characters from their original fathers, as he was their mothers' husband in this life.

Rob smiled and handed his newborn children to Gloriosa and Shakky to care for temporarily.

They held them with love and care as if they were their own children, even Shakky, who had no romantic relationship with Rob and was Rayleigh's lover.

Rob looked at his adopted daughter, Hancock, who, after consuming the Love Fruit, became more beautiful as time passed.

"Do you feel that Luffy won't overcome this calamity?" Rob asked with a smile, patting her head.

"What he has gone through so far is utterly unbelievable. I feel incredibly sad for him," she replied with a sorrowful expression.

"He did everything he could to save his brother, but in the end, he couldn't and watched him die. I feel it's impossible to overcome this," she added.

"Don't worry, he will get through it," Rob reassured her gently, ignoring the strange looks from both Shakky and Gloriosa.

It was as if they were thinking to themselves, when did this stern man accept his daughter's intense attraction to another man with such a kind smile?

What they didn't know was that Rob was silently crying inside.

("That rascal Luffy stole my daughter's heart even before he was born! Damn you, Dragon, stop searching for Luffy's mother; we don't need another Joy Boy anymore!")

…

Miles away from the sea surface, in the dark depths of the ocean, the massive forms of sea kings appeared and disappeared occasionally.

They were all waiting for the appointed day near Fish-Man Island, but recently, they began to get restless.

Will the promised day really come?

When will the two kings meet?

Have they even been born?

…

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that the mermaid who was supposed to give birth to the next Mermaid Princess had been taken away by Rob from Fish-Man Island, and their king Neptune was still without a wife at this moment.

Inside the art store in Mermaid Bay, Suzan, with the help of her lovely daughter Shyarly, was mixing various drinks so the cute waitresses could deliver orders quickly to every customer.

Among the customers waiting for their orders, there was Jimbei, who had a sad expression at this moment.

"Trafalgar Law has been added to the list of good humans deserving of your favor, hasn't he?" Fisher Tiger, who noticed Jimbei's sad expression, spoke up.

"Regardless of his motive, he saved my counterpart's life, and that gratitude is significant indeed. So, you're right," Jimbei nodded in acknowledgment.

"What if Trafalgar Law's motive behind this was to exploit Luffy for some purpose of his own?" Tiger drank his glass of wine before saying that.

"Well, in that case, my counterpart wouldn't stand idly by, I believe, unless Luffy agreed to his request."

"But Luffy must first overcome this calamity. Like my counterpart, I'm genuinely worried about seeing Luffy after he wakes up." Jimbei sighed, expressing his sorrow.

At that moment, Tiger patted him and said, "Don't worry, you're up to the task. I bet your counterpart will be the one to help him overcome this calamity."

"Your presence will be a great help to him in the tough times ahead. Trust in that."

Jimbei looked at Tiger in astonishment; he didn't know why his elder brother had such great confidence in him.

"Don't look at me like that; just keep reading. I have a feeling your counterpart will do wonders."

…

"Uuwwaaaah!!"

Not far from Fisher Tiger and Jimbei's table, Franky was still crying under the influence of Uta's song and the summary of the Marineford Arc.

"Hey! Kid, you're annoying, stop crying and let us read the volume in peace," Iceburg shouted in annoyance.

"Don't be harsh on your brother; he's just very sensitive, that's all," Tom said with a smile.

"Hancock wants to provide protection for Luffy even at the expense of her entire people. What a determined woman."

"Is this what love does?"

Kokoro, busy delivering customers' orders, would always come to steal some time with Tom and the kids.

"Tahaha! That's right, all for love, dear. Just like you're doing now. If Suzan sees you delaying your work, it will be hard to explain it to her. That's also for love, isn't it?"

Hearing that, Kokoro blushed and hurried away.

After her appearance was changed by the diluted blood potion, seeing such reactions was a gentle solace for Tom and the others.
