The golden Buddha slowly turned its palm.
Bartholomew Kuma's figure was directly thrown down from the sky!
In front of the colossal Buddha, this member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea seemed like an ant being dropped from tens of thousands of meters high. He hastily adjusted his posture, raising a hand to unleash a shock wave that steadied his body, albeit somewhat awkwardly rolling to the ground!
"Kuma!"
Vegapunk hurriedly rushed over.
"Dr. Vegapunk, don't come near!"
Bartholomew Kuma raised his hand to stop Vegapunk's steps. He lifted his head, only gazing at the golden Buddha that stood like a mountain, the shock in his eyes yet to fade.
This kind of grandeur...
It surpassed all his understanding!
Even Nika, whom his father mentioned, would pale in comparison!
If Akihara Kagura had simply removed all mechanical organs from his body, Kuma might not have been so astonished; but this man seemed like a creator, directly crafting new organs within him, recreating a new body for him!
"Provoking the divine is indeed an unwise thing to do..."
Bartholomew Kuma slowly knelt before the golden Buddha, his palms clasped together as he knelt like the monks he had seen during his travels.
"This was my mistake..."
"Kuma!"
Vegapunk stood aside, loudly shouting again towards the towering golden Buddha: "Mr. Kagura, I can agree to work for you!"
"Unfortunate indeed..."
"I'm not interested in your service..."
The golden Buddha's body rapidly shrunk, and as it quickly returned to a normal human size, the Buddha slowly took on the form of Akihara Kagura.
"As far as I'm concerned..."
"Your intentions don't matter."
Akihara Kagura stood beside Bartholomew Kuma, looking at Kuma who knelt in front of him, and softly spoke: "You are indeed a fitting experimental subject..."
Not to mention, the Bakania Race and the Lunarian Race are special communities on the seas, both possessing extremely unique abilities, which even the Heavenly Celestial Dragon considers a potential threat to their rule.
"If necessary..."
"I will certainly be a fitting test subject."
Bartholomew Kuma simply lowered his head, taking a deep breath, he spoke in a deep voice: "I just wish to plead with Mr. Kagura to forgive all the sins of this sea, to let all life on this sea bask in the grace of Mr. Kagura's arrival, for there are too many living in suffering on this sea..."
That kind of power...
To regenerate organs...
The power to bring new vitality...
If this ability were used on patients tormented by diseases, it would certainly prove its usefulness; any patient could be healed!
This member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea known as the Tyrant has an unusual personality. Describing his nature as gentle is inadequately precise; using the term submissive seems too extreme...
Perhaps...
His goodness teeters on naive foolishness...
This description best fits Bartholomew Kuma.
No one would have imagined, in this life-and-death moment, what Kuma thought of was Akihara Kagura's ability being used to become the world's best doctor...
Because...
Kuma himself once served as a priest and doctor...
Akihara Kagura's healing abilities are extraordinary, far surpassing the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability to repel diseases and pain!
"Simply..."
"Naïve as a child..."
Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow, indifferently moving past Kuma, speaking coldly: "Keeping you alive is just because you still have a use, not just as an experimental subject. Leave Takamagahara, and take Vegapunk out of the World Government's control..."
"Ah?"
Vegapunk looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise.
"!!!"
Bartholomew Kuma turned back in disbelief.
"..."
Kizaru quietly watched everything.
This Admiral of the Navy Headquarters lowered his head, pursed his lips into a smile, recalling Sengoku's evaluation of Akihara Kagura: "Marshal Sengoku was right, looking at the results, it indeed seems a bit soft-hearted..."
After Kizaru murmured to himself, his eyes narrowed, remembering the golden Buddha he had seen: "Merciful or fierce, with that level of power, it doesn't matter what stance you take towards this world..."
However...
Kizaru's thoughts were also somewhat naive.
Akihara Kagura's gaze focused on Vegapunk and Bartholomew Kuma, calmly discussing their escape plan: "I remember there are many Peacekeepers hidden within the fleet, you should take those Peacekeepers and escape together, at least showing some semblance of escape power..."
"I do have that authority..."
Vegapunk touched his large head, cautiously spoke: "As long as Saint Saturn isn't here, I hold the highest authority to control the Peacekeepers, and Sentomaru has the same authority, but is it really okay..."
"We follow orders."
Bartholomew Kuma reached out to block Vegapunk, solemnly accepting Akihara Kagura's instruction: "I will leave with Dr. Vegapunk, even Admiral Kizaru can't catch up with us. Aside from this, are there any other instructions?"
"Wait..."
Sentomaru struggled to come over, expressing opposition to the plan: "I feel this plan might lead to Dr. Vegapunk being hunted by the World Government like a mad dog, and the World Government has never wanted to let go of Dr. Vegapunk, they absolutely won't..."
