As I stood in Kureha's treehouse in the medical room along with Elly watching from outside the operation room as Kureha and the other doctors were making the final preparations to cure Doc's heart, I couldn't help but chuckle as I turned to the Doc who was participating in the surgery himself. 

"A man, doing surgery on his own heart..." I said with a shake of my head. "Now that's something you don't see every day..." I added with a smirk.

Chapter 64: The Tournament, Part 2

"The first round of the free for all will start shortly," Briar said with a smirk as she stood in the middle of the fighting ring. "So everyone in the first group, get your asses up here," she added while gesturing for the contestants to climb into the ring. 

"Alright, people, I want this fight to be as dirty as possible!" Briar said with a smirk as she looked over at the contestant. "Anyone who hasn't punche...

"Do you think... Do you think a monster like me could become a pirate too?" Chopper asked, his glare dissipating, only to be replaced by an expression that was a mixture of nervousness and hope. 

"Do you think you're a monster?" I asked in an amused tone as I leaned on the door frame, looking down on Chopper, making him nod at me.

"You're no monster, little guy," I remarked after seeing him nod as I shook my head. "In the first place, what do you think a...

Chapter 63: The Tournament.

(Author's note: the first part of this chapter, between the first two "..." is a continuation to the previous chapter because it came out kinda short. I already added it to that chapter, but I decided to add it into this one just in case anyone missed it)

It didn't take me long to find Clark, as he usually hung around in his little office room, surrounded by paperwork, as he goes the reports of the various missions my Phoenix Wings go through ...

"Hey, old man," I said with a smirk as I brought the transponder snail's speaker closer to my mouth and paused, waiting for a reply.

"What do you want, brat?" replied an aged voice from the other side of the call. "If you're calling to gloat about how great the devil fruit I gave you back in Kano country again, then I'll just hang up, so don't bother," the voice added in an annoyed tone, sighing.

"Not this time," I replied with a chuckle. "I'm calling to info...

Hello, my dear readers and supporters. First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the support you've been showing me and the stories I write. 

You guys are the main reason I can keep writing daily without procrastinating, so thank you for that! 

In any case, what I wanted to announce is that my college exams will start after the weekend, so there will be fewer chapters in the next couple of days. 

Thank you for reading, and ho...

Chapter 62: Awakening

"I don't... I don't know," Billy said between gasps as he stopped screaming. "But it hurts and burns inside me..." he added as he opened his eyes, revealing the yellow, fiery glint inside them.

And that was when I felt it; the unmistakable of detecting an energy signature. What's more, it was coming from inside little Billy.

It felt both warm and scorching at the same time, as if it was countless light specks merging to ...

"Like I said, it doesn't matter," I replied with a shrug as I stepped on his neck with a cold expression. "Because you'll be dead soon," I added as I took out my gun, pointing it at his forehead. 

"Stop it, you brat," a voice sounded from behind me as the sound of flapping wings I picked up earlier stopped, replaced by what sounded like a heavy object hitting the floor, disturbing the snow and making it fly everywhere.

Chapter 61: Growth

I smiled in satisfaction at a job well done as I stood over the twitching body of a raider in the wastelands near Fallout town, looking at the couple dozen other corpses littering the ground.

"Time to head back to Fallout town, I guess," I said while cracking my sore neck. "But before that..." I added as I opened my status screen, looking at my parameters. 

"System, put all of my EXP into agility," I concluded, smiling...

"Don't panic!" Chess exclaimed with a frown as he looked at the panicking Wapol and the surrounding soldiers. "This bastard has a devil fruit that protects him from ranged attacks, that's all," he added, waving his hand to the side. 

"We only need to get close and attack from melee range, and he'll be helpless," he added, successfully reassuring Wapol, who regained his smug smile, and the soldiers who stopped panicking.

"Why don't you give it a try, then...

"All the scheming shenanigans aside..." Vilhelm said from the side with a grunt. "What's our next move?" he asked as he lit up a cigarette.

"Depending on how things go, we can either start recruiting fresh blood into the group," Kaden replied with a smile. "Or we can start expanding aggressively by taking out other groups on our level and secure more recourses and better equipment," he added, his smile becoming predatory....

L.O.J.S.H 140

I reached the castle after what felt like thirty minutes of flight, floating down to the snow ground in front of it as I began looking around.

Immediately, several guards noticed me and promptly began walking towards me with hostile expressions. "Halt! You are trespassing on Drum castle, home of Wapol, the ruler of these lands!" said one guard while brandishing a spear. 

"Not for long..." I calmly replied, causing the guards to frown in confusion.

Chapter 59:  Ulterior Motives

A woman wearing an elegant, grey business suit stepped out of the aircraft and began looking around as she briefly glanced at the captured gang bosses, her eyes glinting in a calculative light. 

She then turned to look at Kaden, who was slowly walking towards her with a smirk. "Mr. Solomon," the woman greeted as Kaden finally stood in front of her with Briar and Vilhelm standing behind him.

"Charmaine,"...

"Are you saying that Doc is a Lunarian?" I asked in a confused tone, my gaze turning to Doc Q as I observed his lack of wings, wondering if I misunderstood crocus' meaning. 

"Indeed," Crocus said, taking a deep breath to calm himself, but a sign of fury can still be observed on his face. 

"But aren't Lunarians supposed to have a pair of wings?" I asked in a hesitant tone, scratching my head.

"And I'm not exactly what you would call ...

Chapter 58:  Aftermath

As she sat in her office, taking a break from work, Charmaine sighed in a tired tone, massaging her shoulders as she leisurely gazed at the view of fallout town through her window. 

She started thinking about Kaden's situation. The young man had spoken big words that any other broker in her place would consider boasting or even the ravings of a lunatic if they were less inclined to be polite. 

Still, the ...

"It all started very long ago, long before the golden age of pirates and the pirate king's era," Crocus remarked in a solemn tone. 

"There was once a powerful tribe that lived on the red line," Crocus said, causing my eyes to go wide for a second, but I quickly calmed myself down. 

"They were both beautiful and powerful with bodies said to endure the harshest of environments, capable of producing flames that would melt even steel," he added, and I a...

"The melody..." a blonde woman wearing a lab coat muttered as she stood in a bathroom, facing a mirror. 

"I can hear it..." she whispered, wiping a thin trail of blood leaking from the side of her mouth. 

"So, so close..." she closed her eyes with a tired expression, opening them again after several seconds with a determined expression.

My eyes involuntarily turned to look at Doc's heart, drawn by the terrible condition it was in, as it had several holes leaking blood and staining the gelatinous cube encapsulating it.

What's more, the heart glowed in a dull orange hue as holes continued to appear and disappear on its surface, spraying blood as they did. 

'What the hell?' I frowned, genuinely feeling confused at this sight as Kureha calmly held the heart in her hand, giving it an inspect...

"If you make me such an excellent offer, then I guess I can only... refuse," Kaden said while spreading his arms apart with a grin, causing Tony's smile to falter. 

"Are you sure that is your answer?" Tony asked with a frown as he glared at Kaden.

"So, how do you plan to treat Doc's illness, Dr. Kureha?" I asked while following Kureha as she led us back to her home, and I noticed Law perk his ears while pretending to look away. 

"Your crewmate's illness is a troublesome one that all doctors will deem incurable," Kureha said with a smile without bothering to turn around as she did.

"It's not actually incurable," Kureha added with a shake of her head. "However, it requires surgery to heal, and the s...

Inside the compound, Kaden rented for his group.

Kaden sat on a table, facing Briar, while Clark and Vilhelm sat on the other sides of the table, playing cards inside the compound's shared room, with the other group members doing their own thing.

"Well, shit," I said with a sigh as I turned around and found out what was causing the sound. It was an enormous wave of snow cascading down the mountain at an incredible speed, or as I would like to call it, a fucking avalanche. 

My eyes twitched as I looked around, finding no other Lapahn other than their downed leader insight. 'That explains where the Lapahn cups went away earlier. They probably went to tell some of their comrades to start the avalanche ins...

I landed some distance away from the Lapahns and smiled as they all turned to look at me with their red, beady eyes. 

All of them began growling at me except for a particular towering Lapahn with a horizontal scar over one of its eyes that merely looked at me calmly.

I growled slightly, and another Lapahn began fairly massive Lapahn began charging towards me. The charging Lapahn was still somewhat smaller than the one with a scar on its eye, but it was s...

Two days had passed since the Marcus incident, and things have been rather painfully quiet for the past two days. My subordinates were going through missions and stockpiling credits with no problems.

Marcus has been surprisingly well-behaved, which is a problem since I need him to act as soon as possible.

"And is that any way to ask something of someone?" Marcus remarked with a frown, looking me up and down, seemingly unimpressed.
