Chapter 140 New Year's Gift

"The Chinese New Year will be here soon."

Rhodes suddenly spoke.

People in this world don’t seem to care much about the New Year.

But according to the habits of his previous life, Rhodes has always paid more attention to the New Year.

This is also a way for him to commemorate his previous life.

"It's New Year's Day in one month."

Neru answered.

Having grown up with Rhodes since he was a child, he knows very well the importance that Rhodes attaches to the New Year.

"With the weather like this on Cigu Island, there is no way to judge the time through climate changes."

"It should be said that even the Grand Line is not acceptable."

"Big Bear!"

Rhodes suddenly spoke to Big Bear sitting a little further away.

"Have you ever been to the Devil's Triangle?"

Big Bear thought for a moment.

"I have indeed been there before, but there was only an extremely huge, island-like dhow there. That was Moonlight Moria's territory."

"That Shichibukai?"

After Rhodes became a Shichibukai and had a phone call with the top leader of the World Government, the Five Old Stars, Robin obviously let go of his knot and his whole person became brighter.

"The hero from the Western Sea, Moonlight Moria, I didn't expect that he would stay there after he became the Shichibukai."

"He is still your fellow countryman."

Rhodes chuckled and then looked at Luo.

"How's your recent treatment going?"

"It went well!"

Luo had dark circles under his eyes.

During the recent period, he has been studying medicine, reading medical books with Kuleha, and discussing Bonnie's treatment plan with Doctor 20.

And after seeing his companions practicing hard, especially Nailu's daily practice schedule, he was very worried that he would be left behind by his companions because he neglected to exercise, so after studying medical skills every day, he had to take time to exercise.

The whole person seemed to have been drained of energy every day. Fortunately, Minina's life-saving dishes restored his energy, and Big Bear would often expose his fatigue and bear it himself, which prevented Luo from collapsing first.

"The first phase of treatment should be completed before the Chinese New Year, so that her condition will no longer worsen."

"I can't do it anymore!"

Beside the big bear, Bonnie lay down and stroked her bulging belly.

"I can't eat anymore. You are so awesome, sister Minina!"

"Bonnie is the one who's amazing!"

Minina rubbed Bonnie's head next to her.

The two have the same hair color and are both very edible. Minina quickly became familiar with Bonnie and completely regarded her as her sister.

Rhodes glanced at Bonnie over there.

The opponent should be the supernova "Big Stomach Girl" who went to sea with Straw Hat Luffy and was named "The Generation of Evil"!

At the beginning, he really didn't recognize the other party's identity.

After all, in Rhode's impression, Big Stomach Girl is a person of similar age to Straw Hat Luffy. She must be 13 or 14 years old now.

It wasn't until some time ago that Bonnie used her Devil Fruit ability to turn herself into a girl, that Rhodes recognized the other party's identity.

However, after recognizing the other party's identity, Rhodes couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

If I remember correctly, Straw Hat Luffy went to sea in 1520, which was 4 years later.

And Bonnie is only 6 years old now. Even after 4 years, she will only be 10 years old after all calculations.

A 10-year-old girl can become a supernova. I really don’t know who is the real protagonist between her and Straw Hat Luffy.

"Why do you suddenly ask about the Devil's Triangle?"

Nia looked at Rhodes, her eyes full of expectation.

"Do you have any plans?"

"It's almost the New Year. I want to prepare a New Year gift for myself."

"New Year's gift?"

Baccarat looked at her captain.

"Didn't the Navy just send a batch of things a few days ago?"

"Those things?"

Rhodes' face fell.

Just last week, the navy finally delivered the collection Rhodes had promised.

All I can say is that they are indeed some valuable collections.

However, there was nothing in them that made Rhodes excited, and those antique-level weapons had no decent previous owners for Rhodes to learn from.

I'm afraid those weapons and collections were originally just decorations.

"Take me with you!"

Nia rushed to Rhodes' side excitedly.

If she is allowed to stay on this island any longer, I'm afraid she will go crazy.

It’s so boring!

"Is anyone else going?"

Peijin and Xia Qi were a little moved, but Nailu glanced at them, and the two of them immediately lowered their heads.

Recently, Nailu's exercise schedule has become more and more terrifying.

The two of them were often ridiculed in daily physical training for failing to meet Nailu's requirements.

The progress this guy showed in his physical training after putting down his black gun, and his desperate attitude, simply frightened them.

"I want to go too!"

Baccarat raised her hand.

"You can't."

Rhodes directly rejected it.

"Waiting for when you will master the armed color Haki."

He also fully hopes to see Baccarat's European Emperor's Fist show off its power.

"Just let me relax a little bit, Captain~~"

Baccarat winked at Rhodes and tried to get permission by acting coquettishly.

"If your eyes are dry, you can ask Luo to take a look at it, or you can find another doctor."

Rhodes was not moved at all.

Baccarat put her hand on her forehead, her face full of despair.

Recently, she felt that her arms had become a lot thicker due to practice, and her figure was a little out of shape.

I really don’t want to practice!

"Can you take me with you?"

Robin looked at Rhodes.

"I'm very interested in what Mr. Big Bear said about the huge dhow that looks like an island."

"Then I'm going too!"

Gray sat up straight in an instant.

He hadn't thought of it just now.

If a huge dhow like an island was equipped with enough firepower, it would probably become a terrifying battleship that would scare everyone.

"So, it's just a few of us, right?"

Bebo went to deliver food to Bonis, who was still practicing hard in the snow. Moreover, he had recently learned some medical skills from the doctors, and had to practice with Nairo, so he was very busy all day long.

Minina wanted to stay and cook. Without her energy-replenishing food, Rhodes was really worried that Luo would suddenly collapse.

Not to mention Nailu, he now wants to spend all his time practicing, and even Rhodes is a little frightened by his enthusiasm.

"Let's set off soon!"

Rhodes looked at Big Bear.

"I have to ask you to send us there!"

"no problem."

The big bear nodded.

"If we go from here, it only takes two days to arrive."

"Wow~~"

Chopper looked at Rhodes and the others with bright eyes.

"Why, do you want to come together too?"

Rhodes looked at Chopper.

If the other party wants to go, Rhodes doesn't mind bringing him along.

There is no danger anyway, just think of it as a long experience.

"Can I do it too!!"

Chopper stood up excitedly, a flash of emotion flashing across his face.

He has always longed for the life of a pirate!

"but···"

Chopper hesitated, then shook his head.

"I still have to learn medical skills from doctors. I'm still far from becoming a qualified doctor!"

"Not bad!"

Rhodes looked at Chopper.

"With such a spirit, you will definitely become a great doctor in the future."

"Bastard...bastard!"

A blush appeared on Chopper's face.

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy!"

Seeing Chopper's body twisting and twisting, everyone couldn't help bursting into laughter, and the air was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

···

"So, how are we going to get there?"

Nia looked at Rhodes and then at Big Bear.

Although they clearly wanted to go there, Rhodes didn't take them on the boat. He just stood here and said that Big Bear had "air tickets" and could take them there directly.

I don’t understand what Rhodes said at all!

"I'm afraid it's Mr. Big Bear's ability."

Robin once felt the power of the big bear.

When Aokiji came before, Big Bear had used his ability to briefly send Robin and the others to the edge of the battlefield.

It's just that the time was too short and the speed was too fast, and Robin didn't have time to feel the exact way it moved.

"Yes, I am a user with the meat ball fruit ability. I can fly people to any place at will."

As he spoke, the big bear took off his gloves, revealing the fleshy pads that looked like bear paws.

"What a cute palm!"

Nia's eyes sparkled.

"You might as well have one yourself."

Gray exposes Nia mercilessly.

After transforming using a Devil Fruit, Nia also has the same type of pads.

"You seem a little bloated, Gray!"

Nia looked at Gray with an evil look.

Before eating the [Tuntun Fruit], Gray was submissive and never dared to speak loudly in front of her.

However, after eating the [Tuntun Fruit], becoming an esper, and developing some uses of the fruit's abilities, Nia could clearly feel Gray's expansion.

He even dared to speak like this.

"I'm just telling the truth..."

Feeling Nia's eyes, Gray shrank his neck unconsciously.

"Then let's go."

Big Bear raised his palm high and then slapped it out. The next moment, Rhodes and others disappeared from the spot.

"How amazing!"

In mid-air, Nia looked curiously at the bear paw-shaped bubbles surrounding herself.

She could see everything around her retreating rapidly, and the clouds in the sky disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.

"Devil fruits are really magical powers."

Gray's mind was working rapidly.

"You can shoot invisible injuries, pain, fatigue, etc.; you can also slap the air to form an air cannon; now you can also move people quickly in this way."

"Sure enough, the ability of Devil Fruit is the biggest miracle in this sea."

"It's just that I still want to build an invincible super battleship!"

"You should bring two books."

Such thoughts flashed through Robin's mind.

It would be too boring to just fly in the sky for two days.

"If I move around, I won't suddenly break free."

Rhodes felt that if he moved violently, he might burst the bear's paw-shaped bubble instantly.

"Just wait patiently, but I don't want to do this again next time. It's too boring!"
