Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Wood Release: Four Pillars House Technique!
"What’s wrong?" Nami said.
As she spoke, her gaze shifted back and forth between Meiser and Law, wondering if the two of them had come up with something.
"You were just discussing these children’s matters with the Marines, weren’t you?" Meiser said.
"Yes."
Nami nodded and said, "I communicated with them about these children, hoping they wouldn’t disturb us while we treat them."
"What was their response?"
Upon hearing this, Nami fell silent for a moment before sighing and saying, "That Marine Lieutenant Commander said he couldn’t guarantee it because his rank is too low."
If the other party had been a Navy Vice Admiral, perhaps there would have been room for negotiation, but he was only a Marine Lieutenant Commander...
So he couldn’t give her any assurance.
"Well, that’s normal," Meiser nodded and said. "After all, he’s only a Lieutenant Commander."
"What should we do then?" Nami said with some distress. "I promised these children I would heal them and send them home."
She couldn’t go back on her word.
"I’ve already thought of a solution to this problem," Meiser said.
As soon as he said this, Nami’s eyes immediately lit up.
"What solution?"
"Law can use his ability to remove the toxins from the children’s bodies," Meiser pointed to the silent Law beside him and said. "Once the toxins are gone, they can recover slowly."
"At that point, handing the children over to the Marines won’t be a problem."
After all, they are pirates, so they can’t possibly take care of such a large group of children for an extended period.
Thus, handing them over to the Marines is the best course of action.
Upon hearing Meiser’s words, Nami immediately turned to Law and said, "Your ability can actually do something like that?!"
"Yes," Law said calmly. "Because I’m a doctor."
As an Op-Op Fruit Ability User, he was well aware of how strong his medical skills were, so he was fully capable of resolving the issues in those kids’ bodies.
"That’s great!" Nami said. "Torao, then hurry up and start."
As long as this guy can remove the toxins from the children’s bodies, everything will be fine!
"I have no problem with that," Law said calmly. "But I need a room suitable for treatment."
After saying this, he paused briefly before continuing, "And... while I’m treating them, don’t let anyone disturb me!"
His treatment methods would be considered horrifying by ordinary people, so he had to perform them where no one could see.
"No one disturbing you, huh..."
Meiser thought about Law’s Devil Fruit Ability and then nodded in understanding. "Alright, no problem."
He figured the other’s treatment methods might be quite frightening, which was why he said those things.
But it didn’t matter; it wasn’t an issue.
As long as the kids’ bodies could be healed, everything else was secondary.
"But where can we find a suitable room now?" Nami turned to look at the island that had been bombed into ruins and said, "Everything’s been blown to pieces.
As far as the eye can see, there’s nothing but rubble.
Where can we find a usable room here?
As for pirate ships...
Even if Merry were to bring out the pirate ship, it wouldn’t help, since these children are so large they can’t fit into the cabins!
What about that cruise ship over there?
The rooms on it aren’t much bigger than the ones on our pirate ship, so it’s not a viable option either."
"Leave this problem to me," Meiser said. "I can use my ability to create a room."
With that, Meiser strode toward an open area in the distance, adding, "Come on, I’ll go make a room first."
Seeing this, Nami blinked, then followed him curiously.
Law, meanwhile, trailed silently behind Meiser, intending to see what he was planning to do.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the destroyed area in the distance.
After surveying the surroundings, Meiser stroked his chin and said, "Hmm, this spot will do."
Although the area ahead had been bombed beyond recognition, it wouldn’t hinder him from using Wood Release to build a house.
With that thought, Meiser didn’t hesitate to activate his Wood Release Ninjutsu.
Wood Release: Four Pillars House Technique!
"Hum~"
The ground began to tremble, as if something was about to emerge from beneath it.
The next moment...
"Boom!!"
An enormous house rose from the ground, finally settling firmly atop the pile of rubble!
"Wh-what...?!"
Seeing this massive house, even large enough for the Giant Race to enter, Nami was utterly stunned.
Could Meiser really do something like this?
Meanwhile, a look of surprise appeared in Law’s eyes. He clearly hadn’t expected the other’s Devil Fruit ability to be used in such a way.
Using a Devil Fruit ability to build a house?
This...
was truly unexpected.
"Will this work?" Meiser glanced at Law and asked.
"It will," Law nodded.
He only needed a house to block the line of sight, so this was more than enough.
Seeing this, Meiser nodded and said, "Then..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Nami grabbed his hands.
Meiser: ??
What does this mean?
"Let’s team up to make money!" Nami exclaimed, her eyes shining. "With this house-building ability, we’re sure to make a fortune!"
Law: ...
Meiser: ...
Law looked at Nami speechlessly. How could she think of such a strange idea at a time like this?
Meiser, on the other hand, sighed helplessly and said, "How can you still be thinking about money at a time like this?"
The Straw Hat Pirates weren’t short on money right now!
Besides, how much money could they possibly make by building houses in a place like this?
"Of course I’m thinking about money!" Nami retorted confidently. "Who would ever say no to more money?"
It was true that Meiser had managed to get hundreds of billions, but... as a money lover, how could she resist such an enticing idea as making even more?
Seeing Nami’s confident expression, Meiser couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
Truly, this was Nami...
"Alright, alright, we’ll talk about this later," Meiser said. "The priority now is to treat those children."
"Right, right, let’s treat them now."
Reminded by Meiser, Nami remembered what they were about to do and immediately ran toward the stunned crowd in the distance.
"What a huge house."
"Hey, Orange Sister, how did that house suddenly appear over there?" Mocha asked Nami curiously.
"Ah, my friend built it." Nami pointed at Meiser in the distance, a smile curling on her lips. "Alright, everyone, come with me for treatment!"
"So it was Sunglasses Brother who did it..."
"We understand!"
"Everyone, follow Orange Sister for treatment!"
"Yeah!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Above the sea outside Punk Hazard, Buffalo and Baby 5 hovered over the water.
"That explosion earlier was really terrifying." Buffalo stared at the island reduced to ruins in the distance and gulped. "To think it destroyed the entire island..."
"Is this the thing the Young Master mentioned?"
Too terrifying!
Baby 5, on the other hand, stared at the distant island with a grim expression. "The power of this weapon..."
"Is Monet alright?"
Even though that guy is a Logia-type Ability User, she’s still snow at the end of the day!
Could she have been killed in the explosion?
At this thought, Baby 5’s face filled with worry.
"Monet is a Logia type, so she should be fine, right?" Buffalo said.
"She is a Logia type, but she’s snow that can be melted by high temperatures," Baby 5 replied.
Though she knew nothing about science, she understood that snow could be melted by fire.
So Monet...
As if understanding Baby 5’s meaning, Buffalo fell silent.
He didn’t know the answer to that question.
Or perhaps... he didn’t want to think about the answer.
After a moment of silence, Buffalo said, "Let’s contact the Young Master first."
Hearing the words "Young Master," Baby 5 immediately made a displeased expression but said nothing more. Instead, she took the Den Den Mushi from Buffalo and dialed.
"Buro buro buro~"
"Buro buro buro~"
"Buro buro buro~"
"Kacha~"
"Young Master!" Buffalo said. "The explosion definitely happened!"
"Is that so."
Doflamingo’s lips curled into a smile. "Then it seems those guys have been taken care of."
Even he might not survive an explosion of that magnitude, so the Straw Hat Crew and Law must be dead!
Fufufufufu~
Fufufufufu!
"That must be the case," Buffalo said. "No one could survive an explosion of this level!"
Hearing Buffalo’s words, Doflamingo laughed even more heartily.
"Those bastards thought they could threaten me by capturing Caesar..." Doflamingo sneered. "But unfortunately, Lady Luck isn’t on their side!"
Now, he had won!
Fufufufufu!
"By the way, Young Master..."
Buffalo glanced at Baby 5’s expressionless face and then said, "Monet..."
Hearing this, Doflamingo immediately wiped the smile off his face.
"Monet is dead."
Doflamingo said expressionlessly, "She was defeated by the enemy in battle against the Straw Hat Pirates.
"But just before death, she activated this island’s self-destruct device."
Clearly, Doflamingo had no intention of hiding this matter—after all, Monet had fought for the family until the very end!
So he wanted these two to know what Monet had done!
"De... dead?"
Baby 5 froze instantly, the cigarette in her mouth dropping uncontrollably and drifting away with the sea breeze toward the distant ocean.
That gentle-smiling Monet... was actually dead?"
Meanwhile, Buffalo seemed to have figured something out and said, "No wonder such a terrifying explosion occurred. So that’s why."
If that’s the case, both Monet and Mr. Vergo...
"She did it willingly," Doflamingo said calmly.
"I know."
Buffalo closed his eyes and said, "Otherwise, Monet would never have pressed that switch."
As a member of this family, he understood well how loyal the executives were, so he wouldn’t doubt the Young Master’s words.
Then, he opened his eyes and said, "Young Master, we’ll go find Caesar now and bring him back."
"Mhm, go ahead," Doflamingo said gravely. "No need to disconnect the Den Den Mushi this time."
"Understood."
Buffalo nodded, then wordlessly flew with Baby 5 toward the nearby island of Punk Hazard.
Upon reaching the airspace above, the two immediately noticed the island’s devastated state.
"Good thing we left earlier," Buffalo gulped and said. "Otherwise, we’d definitely have been blown to bits."
With their strength, there was absolutely no way they could have survived an explosion of that magnitude!
As for Baby 5?
Although she was a Weapon-Weapon Fruit Ability User, Buffalo didn’t believe she could survive such an explosion either.
After all... this was an attack from the outside!
Meanwhile, Baby 5 wiped the tears from her face, forcing herself to calm down.
"Let’s go, we’ll search for..."
Before Baby 5 could finish speaking, she noticed something amiss.
"Huh?"
"Why is the cruise ship unharmed?"
"Wait... not just the cruise ship!"
Baby 5, now clearly seeing the situation around the cruise ship, narrowed her pupils to the extreme and said, "The Straw Hat Pirates and those Marines aren’t dead either!"
"They’re all here at the cruise ship!"
Looking at those completely unharmed people, Baby 5 was utterly stunned.
How could these people still be alive?
An explosion of that level—even she wouldn’t have survived it!
Hearing Baby 5’s words, Buffalo instinctively looked over and immediately showed an equally shocked expression.
"They’re actually alive..." Buffalo said incredulously. "How did they manage that?"
That explosion had definitely erupted for real.
How could they be completely unscathed?
And why does the cruise ship look completely untouched too?
What exactly happened earlier?
Meanwhile, after hearing the two’s words, Doflamingo’s expression darkened.
"Not dead?" Doflamingo said with a grim face. "How is that possible?"
That was an explosion powerful enough to destroy the entire island!
How could they possibly have survived in such a situation?
Then, as if struck by a thought, Doflamingo wondered inwardly: Could it be Law?
But the Op-Op Fruit doesn’t grant the ability to withstand large-scale explosions.
If not Law, then who could it be?
Could it be someone from the Straw Hat Pirates?
The moment he thought of the Straw Hat Pirates, Doflamingo recalled the name Meiser.
But that man is already dead!
What in the world is going on?
"Although I don’t know exactly what happened, they are indeed all alive," Buffalo said. "Young Master, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Doflamingo fell silent for a moment before standing up and saying, "You two, keep an eye on them."
"Keep an eye on them?"
Buffalo was taken aback. Why not just eliminate them outright?
"That’s right, keep an eye on them!" Doflamingo sneered. "I’ll be there soon!"
Though he didn’t understand how it happened, since these guys were still alive, he couldn’t let them leave Punk Hazard!
Today, he would personally crush them with his own hands!
