One Piece: The sky is azure, I just time-traveled today.

He was merely passing through, stopping by this ship for a rest before continuing on to his next destination.

In an instant, Kuina's thumb drew the Purple Cloud Peak sword half an inch from its sheath, a flash of cold light appearing as its sharp sword intent locked onto the uninvited guest above.

Sabo's muscles tensed, and Armament Haki instinctively covered his arms, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

Robin crossed her arms, ready to activate her power at any moment.

A Shichibukai! What's he doing here?!

Only Liu Jiu's brows relaxed slightly the moment the bear appeared.

He raised his hand and made a very simple downward gesture towards Kuina and Sabo, who were about to attack.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, instantly calming the fighting spirit that was about to erupt between the two.

Kuina and Sabo abruptly stopped what they were doing, looking at Liu Jiu with surprise and uncertainty, then warily glancing at the bear on the mast.

Xiong's eyes, hidden beneath his hat, slowly swept over the three men below who were on high alert, and finally settled on Liu Jiu, the only one who remained calm.

Their eyes met in the air.

There were no words, no murderous intent, yet it was as if a silent exchange had been completed.

Liu Jiu turned to the side, making way for Lilith, who was barely breathing, on the bed behind him.

"Help me save someone."

He spoke to the bear in a flat tone, as if he were stating something trivial.

Sabo and Guina's pupils contracted sharply.

Asking the Seven Warlords of the Sea to save people?!

Robin covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The bear's gaze shifted to Lilith, and a faint glimmer of maternal compassion seemed to flash in her otherwise calm eyes.

He took off the black glove on one hand.

Its massive body descended gracefully from the mast, its heavy footsteps landing on the deck with only a slight sound.

He ignored Sabo and Guina, who were on high alert, and went straight to the bedside, bending down.

A huge hand with a fleshy pad hovered above Lilith's burning forehead.

A gentle yet strange energy began to gather.

Sabo was so nervous he almost stopped breathing, Kuina gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, and Robin held her breath.

Only Liu Jiu watched quietly.

The bear gently pressed down with its paw.

A pink, spherical halo was drawn out of Lilith's body.

The next second, the girl's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, the dark wound on her shoulder turned bright red and healed at a visible speed, the flush from the high fever quickly subsided, and her breathing became steady and long.

A few seconds later, the halo dissipated.

Lilith seemed to have simply fallen into a peaceful sleep, her face no longer showing any signs of pain.

The bear straightened up, compressed the pink sphere to the size of its palm, and held it in its hand.

He looked at Liu Jiu and nodded slightly.

Then, as if blown by the wind, its body rose into the air silently and disappeared into the vast night.

It came suddenly and left abruptly.

On the deck, only four silent people and a little girl who had finally escaped the threat of death and was sleeping peacefully remained.

Sabo let out a long sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Kuina slowly sheathed the Purple Cloud sword, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Robin walked quickly to Lilith's side, and after carefully examining her, a genuine look of relaxation appeared on his face.

"She...she's really healed. All her injuries, even her previous weakness, are gone..."

Sabo looked at Liu Jiu, who remained calm, opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back all the questions he had.

He simply realized once again—

Their uncle seemed even more...unbelievable than they had imagined.

Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea can be invited to be temporary doctors?

Chapter 124 Liu Jiu owes a favor

As dawn breaks, seabirds cry out.

The Cyclone swayed gently in the waves, as if the thrilling visit of the Seven Warlords of the Sea last night was just a dream.

Sabo practiced his boxing on the deck, but his eyes kept drifting towards the cabin.

Guina wiped the purple clouds, her movements a little slower than usual.

Robin was preparing breakfast, and the air was filled with the aroma of rice porridge.

Liu Jiu sat in his usual spot, his gaze fixed on the calm sea, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Only he knew the price that seemingly indifferent Shichibukai had paid.

That pink halo took away more than just the girl's pain and illness.

There is still a need for someone to silently bear the burden of these painful processes.

The bear transferred everything, including the potential shadow of death, onto itself.

In a deserted place, he went to "digest" this pain that didn't belong to him.

This kindness is silent yet great.

Liu Jiu felt he owed the other party a favor.

"Well..."

A faint groan came from inside the cabin.

The sound was very soft, but it made the three people on the deck stop moving instantly.

Sabo was the first to rush into the cabin.

Kuina and Robin followed closely behind.

Liu Jiu also slowly stood up.

On the bed, Lilith's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

At first, I was at a loss.

She looked at the unfamiliar wooden ceiling and blinked.

Then the memory returned.

Cliffs, pursuers, stray arrows, a fall, icy seawater...

She sat up abruptly, her hand instinctively reaching for her side.

"My wine jug! Where is my wine jug?!"

The voice was shrill with panic.

"it's here."

Robin's gentle voice rang out as he handed her the heavy wine jug.

Lilith snatched it away and hugged it tightly to her chest, as if it were a lifeline.

It was only then that she noticed the four people surrounding the bed.

Sabo wore a relieved smile.

Although Guina had little expression, her eyes were gentle.

Robin didn't say anything, but turned around and brought over a steaming bowl of rice porridge.

And there was that man standing a little further away, silent yet reassuring.

She looked down at herself.

My shoulder no longer hurts, my body is no longer hot, and I've even regained a lot of my strength.

It was as if the near-death experience from the previous injury was just a nightmare.

"Was it...was it you who saved me?" she asked softly, her eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of uncertainty.

“You’re lucky to be alive,” Sabo grinned. “We found you while you were adrift at sea.”

Robin handed her the bowl of porridge: "Eat something first. You've been unconscious for several days."

Lilith took the bowl and sipped the warm rice porridge.

With food in her stomach and her body warming up, she finally had the energy to think more.

She remembered being badly injured, having been in the sea for so long, so...

“My injury…” She touched her shoulder, where there wasn’t even a scar.

“Our uncle… hired a very skilled doctor to treat you,” Sabo explained vaguely, glancing at Liu Jiu almost unconsciously.

Lilith followed his gaze and looked at Liu Jiu.

The man simply looked back at her calmly.

Although she is young, she is not stupid.

The doctor who could heal her severe injuries overnight without leaving her with any pain must be no ordinary doctor.

But she wisely didn't ask any more questions.

He simply held the wine jug, facing Liu Jiu, and also Sabo and the other two, and bowed his head deeply.

"Thank you... thank you for saving me and healing my wounds."

Her voice was choked with sobs.
