Super Card System

The term “Immortality Surgery” has long circulated among certain elite circles in this world.

Since there’s such a legend about immortality, it implies that someone in history might have actually undergone the Immortality Surgery!

If this surgery truly grants eternal life, doesn’t that mean the person who underwent it is still alive today?

Considering Bonney’s experiences, if such an immortal person exists, they must be among the Celestial Dragons or within the World Government!

It’s precisely because they are aware of the eternal life granted by the Immortality Surgery that they tirelessly seek methods of achieving immortality.

At least, from all the information Ian has gathered, they are indeed relentlessly pursuing this goal. Kaido’s Artificial Uranus Project, the exploitation of Bonney’s Devil Fruit abilities, and now Ian even suspects that the Pacifista Project might also be related to their quest for immortality. After all, transforming the human body into machinery is another form of immortality…

However, immortality isn’t so easily attained. Although Kaido, as a test subject, has tremendous vitality, he can still die. And Bonney’s Devil Fruit only changes appearance and body; it has nothing to do with life force or lifespan.

It’s possible they’ve even experimented with Zephyr’s student Ain’s Return-Return Fruit.

The Return-Return Fruit likely involves the definition of “existence,” resetting someone’s existence in twelve-year increments. So, similar to Bonney’s Age-Age Fruit, it doesn’t affect “life force” or anything like that.

Looking at it now, the only Devil Fruits that are reliable and can be linked to life force are just three kinds. One is Law’s Op-Op Fruit, but it requires the Devil Fruit user to be proficient in medical skills. The second is Big Mom’s Soul-Soul Fruit, which requires collecting souls from others to extend one’s life.

As for the last one, it should be Brook’s Revive-Revive Fruit. This fruit allows one to die and come back to life, which can also be considered another form of immortality.

For the Celestial Dragons to go to such lengths to seek immortality, it’s a bit far-fetched to say it’s simply because they don’t want to die. So Ian is more inclined to believe that their quest for immortality is probably related to their so-called “National Treasure”!

From the historical Poneglyphs decoded by Robin, during the Void Century, a war involving the three Ancient Weapons occurred. The ones who ultimately became the victors and took power were, of course, the Celestial Dragons.

Being the winners suggests that they must have had an Ancient Weapon in their possession. At that time, Pluton was a battleship built in Water 7, and Poseidon was a Mermaid Princess from who knows how many generations ago. These two Ancient Weapons were not ones the Celestial Dragons could control.

So Ian has almost confirmed that what the Celestial Dragons hold can only be the Ancient Weapon Uranus, which is their National Treasure!

The Celestial Dragons maintain their privileged lifestyle by relying on the power of this weapon. Uranus must be immensely powerful; otherwise, the World Government wouldn’t be so apprehensive.

The Five Elders are selected by the Celestial Dragons, but Ian speculates that successive generations of the Five Elders aren’t foolish. Holding immense power, why would they need an emperor above them? Human nature is unpredictable. Given the corruption, stupidity, and arrogance displayed by the Celestial Dragons, normal people would despise them, right? In such circumstances, it’s impossible that they haven’t thought of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons!

Even if they were once considered creators, after eight hundred years, any aura has long since faded…

But even so, the Five Elders still obey the orders of the Celestial Dragons. This can only be explained by “fear.”

However… what exactly is Uranus? Although it’s called a weapon, it may not necessarily be a traditional armament. Looking at Poseidon, it’s clear—it could be a kind of living being!

Perhaps Uranus is also some kind of creature? And since it requires life force as a price to control, this validates the speculation.

Ian shook his head vigorously. He felt extremely strange now because ever since he went to sea, he kept encountering events related to Uranus and the Ancient Weapons. And coincidentally, Ian is a transmigrator who knows some hidden truths about this world, so he’s getting closer and closer to the matter of the Ancient Weapons!

“Damn, could it be that the truth about the Ancient Weapons will really be unveiled by me?”

Speaking of which, that guy Crocodile—could he have guessed this possibility and that’s why he’s following me? I remember he was quite obsessed with Pluton before…

“Ian, what are you thinking about?” Seeing Ian silent for a long time after Bonney finished speaking and now shaking his head, Whitebeard naturally felt curious and couldn’t help but ask him.

But… how could he explain such speculations to him? So Ian smiled and said, “It’s nothing!”

Whitebeard gave him a deep look, feeling that Ian wasn’t telling the truth, but he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he said to Bonney, “Alright, although your words need verification, it seems you’re not lying. In that case, you can stay on the Moby Dick and wait for Ace to return. We won’t restrict your freedom anymore.”

“Hey, I wonder what expression that guy Ace will have when he suddenly finds out he has a cousin?” Marco said with a laugh, making the members of the Whitebeard Pirates all chuckle.

“That’s why life is always full of surprises!” Ian said meaningfully.

However, Bonney didn’t respond to Whitebeard’s words but asked Ian, “You said earlier that you’re going to Wano Country to rescue Ace?”

“That’s right!” Ian nodded.

“Then I’ll go with you!” Bonney said, hands on her hips.

“Go with me!?” Ian widened his eyes. “Why are you coming with me? Even if you want to see Ace, you don’t have to be in such a hurry, right?”

“You know, Ace has never met me!” Bonney spread her hands. “If I just wait for him on the ship, he might see me as a stranger. But if I go with you and help rescue him, he might accept me—this relative he’s never met—more quickly. And besides, I really want to see for myself that he’s safe!”

“Well…” For a moment, Ian couldn’t find a reason to refute her.

“Please!” Bonney clasped her hands together, winking playfully as she pleaded, “Aren’t you Ace’s best brother? Do me a favor! Besides, with you—the new Yonko—there won’t be any danger, right? Bringing me along won’t be a big deal!”

“But how will you come with us?” Ian scratched his head. “Marco and I plan to fly there; you can’t fly!”

“Then you can take me flying!” Bonney said. “I’ve never flown before! And besides…”

As she spoke, Bonney held her chest with both hands and bounced slightly, saying to Ian, “And my chest is very big! When you take me flying, I’ll hold you tightly. This time, you’re in luck…”

“Pfft!” Ian almost spat out blood!

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into laughter. Bonney’s personality was really something else!

“Stop!” Ian quickly stopped Bonney and said, “Let’s make it clear. It’s fine to take you along, but you’d better not have me take you flying!”

“Why? I’m not afraid; are you?” Bonney laughed.

“No, I’m just worried I’ll regret it!” Ian also laughed. In the Dragon Hunter Pirates, no one dares to let me take them flying! It’s just that Bonney hasn’t experienced it, so she dares to be so bold.

So Ian pointed to Marco, who was watching the show from the side, and said, “If you want to fly, it’s best to have Marco take you!”

Bonney turned to look at Marco, who was dumbfounded, pointing at his nose and saying, “Me!? How can I take her!?”

“Just transform into a phoenix!” Ian said with a smile. “Your flames have no temperature; let Bonney ride you—won’t that work?”

“Ride… ride me!?” Marco’s face turned dark.

“I was just watching the fun; how did I get dragged into this!?”
