Chapter 400: Unforgettable Punishment
Chapter 400: Unforgettable Punishment
"It's the dwarfs! Interesting little creatures. Are these the same little creatures that are the legends of fairies in Dressrosa?"
"Really? The largest one is only the size of my palm. It's really rare!"
After comparing it out of curiosity and confirming that the other party was indeed not as big as his palm, the dwarf in front of him became more and more dissatisfied.
"How rude! I'm the captain of the Tontatu Kingdom, Leo! I'm not some rare little guy!"
Leo, who was not even as tall as a short flintlock rifle and holding a needle and thread, turned around and asked King Riku.
"Your Majesty King Riku, why did Dressrosa suddenly catch fire? Did something happen?"
"It's okay. It was just a riot caused by pirates. It has calmed down completely now, but there were some minor misunderstandings. Can you, Leo, and Princess Mansherry help heal this child's arm?"
Taking out the severed arm that had been stored in the freezer, Leo looked at Baby 5 in front of him, nodded repeatedly, and patted his chest to assure him.
"Since it is His Majesty King Riku's request, I, Leo, will definitely do it!"
Looking around, Huayue and the others were now roughly in the Greenbit Forest. This was an extremely spacious environment for the dwarf people, and it had always been a place where rooms were dug to entertain human guests.
However, it still seems a bit crowded for humans, even though it is one of the largest tree roots near the inner forest.
"Leo is a seam-man of the Seam-Seam Fruit. The tears of the dwarf princess Mansherry have healing powers. They can heal any injury."
King Riku introduced in a low voice, and it was obvious that he had a close relationship with the dwarfs here. Looking at the cheering dwarfs around him and this small island adjacent to Dressrosa, one could understand the reason.
"Are there many people with special abilities within the Dwarf Tribe?"
"No, only four..."
At this point, King Riku's heart tightened, and he felt something was wrong.
Oh no, could it be that the Four Emperors in front of him have taken a fancy to Mansherry's abilities and want to take action against the Tontata clan? Wouldn't he be inviting a wolf into the house?
"Mr. Uchiha Kagetsu, are you going to..."
"What are you thinking about? I just want you to cooperate and provide me with some blood samples. The healing power you mentioned is nothing to me."
King Riku was embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. It was no wonder that he was nervous. Mansherry's healing ability was obvious to all, and it was even more tempting for pirates.
Just think about it, who wouldn't want the opportunity to give his men the ability to fight again after being seriously injured? If used properly, it can determine the outcome of a war.
After a while, the little human princess Manshirley, who was petite in appearance and had bright golden hair tied into two ponytails, appeared in front of everyone.
"Really? How could the Little People have such a capricious princess like you? Why did I have to carry you here? You've gained a lot of weight now, haven't you?"
“You’re so annoying! Just hug me when I ask you to. Leo, you really don’t understand girls’ hearts…”
"Eh? What did you just say?"
"nothing!"
Jumping down angrily, Manshirley returned to her usual gentle attitude towards other people and bowed slightly to King Riku.
"Your Majesty King Riku, where are the wounded who need healing?"
Baby5, who was curiously observing the many dwarfs, was pushed in front of everyone by Perona. The faint needle holes left on his stitched arms made Manshiri in front of him feel sad.
"It must be painful, but it's okay, the pain will all go away soon!"
Tears fell from her eyes and gently fell on baby5's body. In just a moment, the remaining wounds were completely healed, and a different look flashed in Huayue's eyes.
"What an interesting power! Besides you, who else in the Tontata Kingdom has a special ability?"
"Besides us, there are only two people from the flying unit, Kabu and Bian. One of them is the Rhinoceros Beetle of the Bug-Bug Fruit, and the other is the Wasp!"
"I see. The animal branch, the parahuman stitch and healing, these are the people with special abilities in the Tontata Kingdom. Including these four, we also need three control groups, one male and one female, for a total of ten people."
"Binding Dao Ninety-Nine·Second Edition·Swastika Ban."
The original wooden floor was swallowed up by darkness in an instant, and strips of cloth of varying sizes emerged from the shadows, instantly blocking all existence in the hall at that moment.
"Hey! What's going on here?"
"Damn it, the cloth is so heavy, how come we are tied up and can't break free at all, Your Majesty King Liku, what's going on?!"
"Mr. Uchiha Kagetsu, didn't you promise not to attack anyone from the Tontata Kingdom? Are you going to break your promise?"
In an instant, Cyrus struggled desperately, but his limbs were trapped and he couldn't even use his domineering power, let alone draw out the giant sword to fight back.
"First of all, I want to correct two of your mistakes. First, I have never made any promises to you. Second, do not easily trust any pirate, no matter who the other party is or what status they have..."
"Xiao Rihe, four samples of blood from people with special abilities, two samples of blood from male and female dwarfs for comparison. It's best to choose from three age groups: old, middle-aged and young. Once the sampling is complete, use the Bingliang Pills immediately."
"Yes, Brother."
The box marked with a special symbol was slowly opened, and the needles flashing with cold light were particularly conspicuous under the light.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"No, something that big can kill people. It really, really can kill people!"
“Ahhhhh, my blood, my blood is…”
"Silence! What are you making such a fuss about? I'm only taking a third of the blood sample from the test tube. I'm not going to kill you."
Inside the silent barrier, after a tragic howl, Hiyori handed several blood samples to Huayue, and then asked with a smile to Princess Mansherry who was bound inside.
"You were the one who cried the most just now. Can you tell me what you were thinking about?"
After having several tubes of blood drawn from her, and being forced to swallow bitter-tasting blood-forming pills, Man Shirley glared at the adult in front of her with gritted teeth, turned her head away and refused to answer.
However, Huayue turned her head to Leo, as if she had guessed something, and then cast her gaze towards Cyrus.
"I've thought about your punishment. It will also be the price I pay for letting Dressrosa go."
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the dwarf humans stared at the adult in front of them with vigilant eyes, wondering what he was talking about.
"what do you want?"
"So-called punishments are mostly accompanied by lessons and reflections, making people immersed in pain and regret. What do you think is the thing in the world that can make people regret the most, yet still struggle in pain in this world?"
For a moment, Cyrus felt a chill in his heart, and two figures that he regarded as salvation flashed through his mind.
"Scarlett, Rebecca..."
"That's right. The separation from your loved ones is the most regrettable and unforgettable punishment, isn't it?"
