Chapter 353: Ope Ope

Chapter 353: Ope Ope

Just a day after The Clown Pirates left East Blue, the Barrels Pirates arrive on Minion Island. They will meet the Marine to sell the Ope Ope Fruit. The price that they set is ridiculous. 5 billion Belly and the Marine agreed to it.

Well, considering what the fruit can do, that price is acceptable. That price is also the reason why Barrels Pirates become very careful now. They move stealthily at night and will make the transaction in a hidden location.

However, they are just a strong North Blue crew, which doesn't mean shit in this world's ranking. So even if they move very carefully, they are still getting tracked by the ones who want to steal the fruit. Just like in the original story, Corazon steals the fruit from them.

Then just like the canon, he runs away from the pirates, but then he falls on a cliff. The Barrels Pirates managed to chase him and attack him. But Corazon manages to escape despite getting shot many times.

Corazon then arrives in his hiding place and then 2 children come out. One of them is a boy while the other is a little girl who looks younger than the boy. Both of them have white marks on their skin, but the boy has more white marks than the little girl.

The boy is obviously Law, while the girl is actually his little sister, Lami. Different from the canon, she survives the extermination and escaped with Law. This is a change that occurred due to Buggy's action in the past when he warned Law's father of Amber Lead. It didn't save everyone, but one more survivor is better than none.

Corazon shows the Ope Ope Fruit to Law & Lami and asks Law to eat it. But Law is still skeptical about the fruit and even if it can cure the disease, he prefers his little sister to consume it rather than him. But there's a strong reason why Corazon wants Law to eat it rather than Lami.

"You have more medical knowledge than her, so if you eat this fruit, you will be able to save yourself and Lami. This fruit won't immediately heal you, it will help you to heal yourself. So your medical knowledge is needed," says Corazon.

"He's right brother, you have learned about this disease with father, so you are the one who can save us," says Lami while panting.

Her disease isn't bad as Law's, but she is younger, so her body is weaker. That's why she is in a worse state than Law right now. But Law is still unsure of what to do and it makes Corazon impatient, so he forces Law to eat the fruit.

After Law ate it, Corazon sighs in relief and falls on his back. Now Law & Lami can see that there are many bullet wounds on Corazon's body. Law intends to use his new ability on Corazon, but Corazon tells him that he can't do it now because he needs to understand his fruit's ability first.

Corazon then asks Law to send a secret letter to the Marine that will make Doflamingo gets arrested. Law doesn't like Marines, but he knows that there are doctors in the Marines. Those doctors will be able to save Corazon, so he leaves to send the letter.

Lami stays with Corazon because she is too weak to run as fast as Law. So she stays there and waits for her brother's return while sitting beside Corazon to keep herself warm. Corazon wraps his coat on Lami's body even though he also needs it to stay warm.

Sometime later, Law to returns with a Marine soldier that carries him. But Corazon is very surprised when he sees the Marine who comes. Of course, it is Vergo who comes, just like the canon.

"Well, fellas, I don't like being a party pooper, but I need you to leave this area. Please forget what happened here and go on with your lives," says Buggy while shooing them with his hands.

Buggy really looks down on them and they all know it very well. If it's the older Doffy who fights Luffy, he would leave while holding his anger and plotting revenge. However, this Doffy is still young and still full of himself.

Even if he knows Buggy is one of the strongest in the world right now, he never fought the man himself. Even if Marine fears Buggy, he has never seen the cause himself. He is still full of pride and believes that he can Conquer the World right now.

So when Buggy tells him to leave as if he is very insignificant, he gets angry. His veins popped out in his typical way and he looks at Buggy angrily. Doffy is almost 2 times taller than Buggy, so it looks like he is the one who threatens Buggy.

"No one can order me around!" says Doffy before sending his strongest right leg kick.

There's a strong impact, but that's it. Nothing else happens because Buggy catches that kick with his right hand easily.

Buggy then calmly says, "I never ordered you, I just gave you a chance to leave in one piece. Well, I guess you wasted it."
