Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 222 Do you understand or not?

He wore a black coat on top and white trousers with brown spots on the bottom. He also wore glasses and had black curly hair.

"Azure Jade Scales..."

Big Bear spoke softly, his voice so faint that even he could barely hear it.

Big Bear still can't accept what he heard from the doctor last night.

His daughter... does she really have less than five years left to live?

He can't even live to be ten?

He has been in a daze since last night and doesn't know what to do.

After a long period of time, the bear's eyes gradually became firm.

He must find a way to cure Bonnie!!

Just because the doctor couldn't cure her last night doesn't mean that no doctor in the world can. Even if he has to search the entire world, he will fight for a chance to save his daughter's life!

He absolutely could not allow...his daughter to lose her life before she was even ten years old!

Absolutely not!!!

Squeak!

Suddenly, the church door was pushed open, and a ray of sunlight shone in, followed by more sunlight.

In the blink of an eye, the church doors were fully opened, and countless rays of sunlight poured in, illuminating the dark church with unparalleled brightness.

!!!

In an instant, the bear's brows furrowed, and he shouted angrily:

"Didn't I tell you not to let the sunlight in?!"

As he spoke, Big Bear raised his head and looked ahead.

Bonnie's condition worsens whenever her jade scales are exposed to sunlight. Although Bonnie is currently in a different room, it would be a serious problem if she came out and got exposed to sunlight.

However, Xiong's rage vanished the moment he saw the figure ahead, his pupils widened, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Vice Admiral Kyle!!!"

That's right, the person who came was Kyle. Since the mission was issued, Kyle has been rushing here without stopping and arrived here in less than an hour.

Looking at the giant bear ahead, Kyle spoke calmly:

"Nice to meet you, Bartholomew Kuma!! Commander of the Revolutionary Army!"

! ! ! !

Upon hearing this, Big Bear's pupils contracted again, and the shock in his eyes was clearly visible.

He immediately sprang to his feet, assuming a fighting stance, his eyes fixed on Kyle, and roared in a low voice:

"Are you here to arrest me, Kyle?!"

"How did you know I was here?"

Kuma is undoubtedly very wary of Kyle, after all, it hasn't even been a day since the Impel Down war ended.

Although the newspapers were only sent to various parts of the world today, as a member of the revolutionary army, he naturally had his own channels and had already learned about the general situation of the battle yesterday.

Among them, the power of Kyle is emphasized. In this war, Kyle almost single-handedly defeated the pirate alliance and played an extremely important role.

He had originally planned to discuss with the dragon how to deal with the current world situation after learning the news yesterday, but he unexpectedly discovered Bonnie's Jade Scale disease and then put everything else out of his mind.

With all their attention focused on Bonnie, they naturally stopped looking for the dragon.

But he was already fully aware of Kyle's strength.

If he were the only one here, he probably wouldn't be too worried; at worst, he would just die.

But the problem is Bonnie is here too, and the idea that he might have thought of dying was the worst that could happen. But after yesterday, he no longer had that resolve.

What will happen to Bonnie if he dies now?

Who will find a cure for Bonnie's illness? For his daughter's sake, he absolutely cannot allow himself to die; at least not until Bonnie is cured.

Well then... we have no choice but to give it our all!

Big Bear's eyes narrowed. Even though he knew he was probably no match for Kyle, he believed that with his abilities, escaping from Kyle's clutches shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking of this, Big Bear tensed up, ready to take Bonnie away at any moment.

But then, Kyle spoke up calmly:

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to arrest you, but to make a deal with you!"

"Furthermore, the difference in strength between you and me is too great. If I really wanted to attack you, you wouldn't have any chance!"

"And don't even think about using your Devil Fruit power to escape. I don't know if others can catch you, but I certainly can, because I am Rai!"

In an instant, Big Bear's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with unfathomable thoughts.

After a long pause, his tense body slowly relaxed, and he looked at Kyle, speaking in a deep voice:

"What do you mean by that?"

"You, a navy officer, want to make a deal with me, a revolutionary?"

"I don't see any reason why I need to make a deal with you!"

Xiong spoke, his tone clearly indicating his refusal.

However, Kyle only smiled faintly when he heard this.

"are you sure?"

"Even if I had a way to cure your daughter's jade scales, would you still think the same way?"

!!!

"What did you say?!"

Big Bear's tone suddenly rose, filled with shock and disbelief, and his eyes were fixed on Kyle once again.

"You, you..."

Big Bear simply couldn't understand why Kyle knew about Bonnie's Jade Scale disease when he had only just learned about it.

"Don't ask me how I know this, because I won't tell you even if you ask!"

"I want to ask you one more time: do you still stand by what you just said?"

"You won't make a deal with me?"

"I can tell you very clearly that the chances of curing Jade Scale disease in ordinary places are almost zero, even if you travel all over the world, it won't help!"

Hearing this, Big Bear's heart trembled even more, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Kyle.

From the beginning until now, he has found that every word Kyle says reflects what he is thinking.

He seemed to have no secrets from Kyle.

This feeling made his heart tremble involuntarily.

Big Bear remained silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on Kyle, before finally speaking:

"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

"Simple, I want to recruit Bonney into the Navy and make her a member of my Azure Squad!"

"In this way, she becomes my team member, and I will naturally do my best to treat Qing Yulin, with a 100% guarantee of a successful cure!"

After hearing this, Big Bear remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

How can I be sure you're not lying to me?

"Heh~"

Kyle laughed, a laugh tinged with obvious sarcasm. He looked at the bear with a hint of disdain and said calmly:

"What makes you think you have the right to make me lie to you?"

What can I get from you?

"Besides, if I wanted to take Bonnie away by force, do you think you could stop me?"

"I'm speaking to you politely here because I respect my future teammates' opinions. Although this is a trade, I hope I'm not forcing them!"

"Do you understand or not?"
