“Even though you are our benefactor, you can’t do this,” A-Jian protested loudly.
"Do you want Bellemere dead? Bellemere isn't dead yet. Your opposition will only put Bellemere in a more dangerous situation," Mo Mo shouted sternly.
"Is Bellemere really not dead?" A-Jian was very excited.
“I have no reason to lie to you.” Mo Mo turned to Nami and Nojiko. “Go say goodbye to the villagers. I’ll pack up and we’ll leave.”
Holding Belle, Momo walked to the house and grabbed it with one hand. The house quickly shrank and flew into Momo's hand before disappearing. Ignoring the astonished crowd, Momo walked to the orange grove and used the same trick on a dozen orange trees to collect them.
After packing his things, Mo Mo waited a while before speaking, "Are you done? We should go."
"Alright, let's go."
"Well, before we go to that place, let's find someone first. Although she's probably about your age now, I believe she'll definitely become a world-renowned doctor in the future." Hua Luo Mo Mo disappeared with Nami's family.
After Momo disappeared, the frozen fishman shattered along with the ice, and the pieces scattered all over the ground were no larger than a fist. Thus, the Arlong Pirates were destroyed.

Chapter 24 Return to Ohara
A week later, Xiluobu Village welcomed several special guests. They consisted of a young man and three women, one older and two younger. The man was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him, and the women were no less so. The older woman was beautiful and full of heroic spirit, while the two little girls were lively and cute. The only flaw was that the woman was a bit frail and needed the man to carry her when she walked.
The young man leading the group was wearing long trousers, a white shirt, and a white overcoat, though it looked more like a cape than an overcoat. He dressed rather flamboyantly, and what was strange was that despite his flamboyant attire, everyone who saw him thought that was how he should dress.
The woman with burgundy hair he was holding seemed to be in a good mood, her eyes smiling, but unfortunately, her complexion was not good; she was pale and very weak, her steps unsteady and feeble. No wonder she needed to be carried to walk. Behind them were two little girls, one with blue hair and the other with orange hair. The two very cute little girls skipped and hopped along behind the two adults, making them look like a happy family.
"Brother Mo Mo, is the person we're looking for in this village?" Nami jumped in front of Mo Mo and asked.
“Yes, the person we’re looking for lives in the most beautiful house in this village.” Mo Mo looked up into the distance, as if he could see the house he was talking about.
"Kaya, I'm here! Be my ship's doctor! I'll take you to see the sights around the world."
Kaya lives in Syrup Village in the East Blue, known as the weakest sea. It's an ordinary little island in the East Blue, but it's also not an ordinary little island because it's where Usopp's family was born. Usopp's father, Yasopp, was the sniper of the Red-Haired Pirates. Shanks is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, and Usopp himself was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. He was also a remarkable person with an amazing sniping talent.
The Straw Hat Pirates, as the protagonists of the One Piece world, are a force to be reckoned with, and this small village alone is not to be underestimated.
A gentle breeze rustled the trees along the roadside, carrying the faint scent of flowers. In the distance, the low, verdant hills peacefully surrounded the entire village, protecting it from the storms of life like a father protecting his child.
We walked along the village path, but were stopped not far away. After all, anyone would stop and ask questions when a group of strange strangers came to the village.
The village chief, a kind old man, stopped Mo Mo and his group. After carefully inquiring about their situation, he learned that they were just passing through and stopping by to visit a few people. He then offered to be their guide.
After repeatedly refusing, Mo Mo knew he couldn't refuse any longer and had no choice but to agree to the old village chief's request to lead the way.
Following the old village chief, Mo Mo chatted along the way and learned some unexpected news. Usopp's father, Yasopp, had already gone to sea, and Usopp's mother was still alive, although she was seriously ill and on her deathbed. However, as long as she was still alive, Mo Mo was confident that he could cure her. Although he dared not say that he could cure all diseases, he was confident that he could cure her. You know, Mo Mo had spent so many years in the world of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, and it wasn't for nothing.
It's often said that medicine and martial arts are inseparable because learning martial arts requires a thorough understanding of the body's limbs and meridians. If someone doesn't even know where the meridians and acupoints are in their body and tries to practice without any special abilities, they wouldn't survive three episodes without the protagonist's halo. Although martial arts manuals may have illustrations, do you really think you can practice just by looking at the figures in the book? Dream on! Illustrations are only supplementary; the true essence is definitely in the text. And martial arts manuals are meant to teach you how to practice martial arts. If you don't even know where the acupoints are in your own body, how can you understand how the acupoints and meridians in the book work?
Therefore, a martial artist must be proficient in all the major acupoints of the body, at least knowing the acupoints used when practicing. And what is Traditional Chinese Medicine? It is the study of human meridians. The most basic aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the human meridian system. If you understand the location and function of each meridian and have some basic knowledge of herbal medicine, you can definitely be a village doctor. At least you can definitely treat common diseases.
Mo Mo spent hundreds of thousands of years in the world of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," and he didn't just cultivate. He also completed the basic inheritance of alchemy left to him by his master. What is alchemy? Alchemy is the fusion and refinement of different rare and precious materials to exert a great effect to assist cultivation. As an alchemist, do you think it's possible that he wouldn't even have the ability to identify the basic properties of herbs? Of course not.
However, Mo Mo, who established his own sect in the mortal world after the events of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," did not stay in the sect forever. During this time, Mo Mo also spent his life as a physician in the mortal world, practicing medicine and leaving behind the name of a medical saint.
Moreover, when Mo Mo was in the Nine Heavens, he often sought out the Medicine King to learn medical skills. Although he soon emptied the Medicine King's coffers, after emptying the Medicine King's coffers, Mo Mo set his sights on Zhe Yan and eventually spent a lot of time emptying Zhe Yan's medical skills as well.
Although Mo Mo's strength has been sealed, his eyesight, medical skills, and knowledge have not. So as long as a person is not dead, Mo Mo can basically save them. Moreover, Mo Mo also has the Chaos Devil Fruit ability, and he has long understood the Wood element. Wood represents vitality, which is most suitable for healing and saving people.
After learning that Mo Mo was also a doctor, the old village chief invited Mo Mo to take a look at Usopp's mother. Mo Mo had already planned to do so, so he readily agreed to the old village chief's invitation and went to Usopp's house. Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Mo Mo thought to himself, "Usopp, I've cured your mother, so I won't leave Kaya to you. Besides, her parents aren't dead yet. Kaya is so cute, you wouldn't want her to lose her parents at such a young age, would you?"
Mo Mo walked to the bedside and took Usopp's mother's pulse. He was relieved to find that it was just a bad cold. Due to the backward medical conditions in the small village and the lack of medicine, coupled with her lovesickness and worry for Yasopp, she was unable to be cured by medicine. This is probably how Usopp's mother passed away in the original story.
Having understood the illness, Momo directly used his Devil Fruit ability to cure Usopp's mother's physical ailment. However, a heart ailment requires a heart remedy, so Momo said softly, "Although Yasopp has left here to become a pirate, you still have Usopp. Just think about how miserable Usopp's life will be after losing his parents at such a young age. And let me tell you, Yasopp is doing well. He's now on Shanks' ship, one of the Four Emperors. You should be proud. I think when Usopp grows up, he will definitely come back to see you, because this is his home."
"Thank you! I will live well and raise Usopp. I want to make sure that when Yasopp comes back, he will still have a home of his own."
"Thank you, big brother. Usopp will definitely repay you when he grows up."
"It's settled then. See you on the high seas. I'll be waiting for you in the New World." Momo pointed a finger at Usopp's head, and after about ten seconds, he withdrew his hand, picked up Bellemere, and left with Nami and Nojiko.
On a small hill at the end of the village, Mo Mo and his group arrived at Ke Ya's house. To be honest, Ke Ya's house was quite impressive, and there were bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses guarding the door.
This is a European-style garden villa with a pointed roof and white walls. There are some large trees planted around the villa, and there is a garden in the garden. No wonder it belongs to a wealthy person. It is indeed rich. No wonder the Black Cat Pirates have their eyes on it.
Standing outside Kaya's villa, Mo Mo was completely stunned. This wasn't the time when Luffy would arrive in a few years. Kaya's parents were still alive, and the Black Cat Pirates hadn't come yet. What reason did Mo Mo have to take Kaya away? Was he supposed to tell them, "You'll all die of illness in a few years, leaving Kaya all alone, and your family's wealth is being targeted by pirates. I'm here to take your daughter away from this misery"? Who would believe that?
Mo Mo figured if he went in and said that, he'd definitely get beaten to a pulp, and even if she was well-mannered, she'd be kicked out. What a headache! After all, Mo Mo couldn't bear to let such a lovely girl suffer like in the original story, learning medicine day after day, silently waiting.
"What's there to be afraid of? If all else fails, I'll just rob them. I'm a pirate, even if I don't have my own ship yet, and I only have myself as a crew member for now. The others... I still need to practice my self-defense skills before I can be considered a crew member." With that thought, Mo Mo walked over to the security guard at the door and explained his purpose: he wanted to visit the owner of the house.
Once inside the house, Mo Mo realized that it truly lived up to its reputation as a wealthy household. Every decorative item was exquisite, the furniture was made of top-quality wood, and the floor was paved with stone bricks cut and carved from an unknown stone, making it a magnificent and opulent place.
Upon arriving in the living room and taking their seats, Mo Mo first praised the house highly, then rambled on about various things, his gaze frequently drifting towards Kaya, who was playing with Nami and the other woman.
"Explain your purpose, Mr. Mo Mo, otherwise we are afraid we will be unable to entertain you any longer." Ke Ya's father looked at Mo Mo sternly.
"Then I'll be frank. I'm an aspiring pirate who wants to set sail, but I don't have my own crew yet. I'd like to invite Miss Kaya to be my ship's doctor. Although she's still young, I believe she'll definitely become an excellent doctor in the future." After saying that, Mo Mo looked directly at Kaya's father with sincere eyes.
"Why my daughter?"
“I have a feeling that you will abandon her and leave Kaya alone in this world, and that she will be frail and sickly from then on. I can change all of this, but the price is that Kaya becomes my ship's doctor,” Mo Mo said softly.
"Why should I believe you? What proof do you have?"
“A few months ago in Ohara, the Navy had already launched the Buster Call, and I was one of the people involved in that incident.” Mo Mo smiled slightly, not caring at all whether the bomb he threw would knock someone unconscious.
"You are that demon? The demon of ice and fire, the one who severely injured two vice admirals with a single blow?" Kaya's father asked in horror.
"If the demon you're talking about is the one who saved Ohara from destruction during the Ohara incident, then I am that person." Mo Mo still had that same smile on his face.
"Why are you going against the Navy? Why did you go to sea to become a pirate, and why did you drag my child down with you?" Kaya's father asked, forcing himself to remain calm.
"The Navy is corrupt, and justice has long been distorted. I don't want Ohara to become a victim of this distorted justice. I want to leave a glimmer of hope for this world. I want to end this great pirate era and inject a remedy into this corrupt world," Mo Mo said with a smile.
“I still can’t believe you’re talking about going together, but I believe you’ll take Kaya away even if I don’t agree. So, I’ll agree to your request, but we have to be with Kaya, and we have to go together.” Kaya’s parents’ faces were full of determination.
"Okay, hurry up and pack anything you need to tell us. We'll stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
The next morning, Kaya's parents decided to take only some valuables and necessities, leaving everything else to the housekeeper, and then left with Mo Mo.
Ten days later, Ohara Island.
"Little Robin, Olvia, everyone in Ohara, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Chapter 25 Mo Mo in Action
Looking at the peaceful and harmonious island of Oharamomo before me, a sense of pride welled up from the bottom of my heart. "What a peaceful, beautiful, and serene island! If it weren't for me, this beautiful and peaceful island would no longer exist and would have become a ruin."
"Isn't it beautiful and magnificent? But this place, so beautiful and magnificent, and known as the world's largest library, was targeted by the Navy with a Buster Order, simply because the scholars on this island were researching ancient civilizations and might pose a threat to their rule. So they didn't hesitate to wipe out this little island. Isn't that horrifying? Isn't it unbelievable? But this is the World Government you trust. If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd probably only see a pile of ruins by now," Mo Mo mocked.
"Why is the government doing this? Studying history shouldn't pose a threat to them!" Kaya's father asked.
"Why? Because the government doesn't allow anyone to know the truth about the lost century. It's that simple. Anyway, for those who stand at the pinnacle of power in the world, erasing Ohara is just a small order, nothing serious. As long as you don't threaten their rule, they'll basically turn a blind eye. Those pirates who recklessly adventure and commit evil at sea are the product of their indulgence. But once they see a threat, Ohara becomes the example, a warning to others!" As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Mo Mo's lips.
"Let's go, let me settle you in first and introduce you to a few people. I haven't been back for several months."
In front of a two-story pink house in Robin, a boy held a woman with burgundy hair in one arm, with a group of people following behind him. The boy smiled slightly at the house and called out, "Robin! Olvia! Are you home? I'm back, have you missed me? Are you ready to receive my love?"
Following the boy's voice, the first sound from inside the house was the sound of a plate breaking, followed by a woman's exclamation. Then, a beautifully sculpted little girl appeared at the door. Upon seeing the boy at the door, the little girl leaped up and jumped into his arms. The boy, seeing the little girl flying towards him, quickly reached out and caught her.
"Oh, Robin has gained a little weight in the few months I haven't seen her. It seems she's been eating a lot of good food while I was away."
Robin, who was initially quite pleased with Mo Mo's words, snorted, "You haven't come back to see me for so long, I'm ignoring you." Then, she hugged Mo Mo's neck, pouted, and turned her head away, giving him a "I don't want to talk to you" look. Seeing how adorable Robin was, Mo Mo was overjoyed. He gave Robin a quick kiss on the cheek and apologized profusely. After agreeing to a series of unequal treaties with Robin, she finally kissed Mo Mo on the cheek and let him go.
Meanwhile, Olvia was standing happily at the door watching Momo play with her daughter. Just as Momo agreed to Robin's conditions and was about to introduce the group of people behind him to Olvia, Olvia walked over with a smile, took Bellemere from Momo's arms, and then, as the hostess, welcomed Nami and Kaya's family into the house.
After the families got to know each other, Mo Mo asked for the opinions of the parties involved. Then, he placed Nami's house to the left of Robin's house and planted orange trees on both sides of the house. Kaya's house was a bit big, so Mo Mo placed it to the right. Fortunately, Robin's house was a bit remote and there was enough open space around it, otherwise, it would not have been possible to fit such a big house.
After placing the houses, Mo Mo quickly circled around the three houses, scattering seeds imbued with wood-elemental power. A few minutes later, the three houses were surrounded by a circle of rose bushes, leaving only a small open space in front of the houses to be used for installing the gates.
When the group at Robin's house finished cooking and came out to call Mo Mo, they were immediately stunned by what they saw. If it weren't for the towering Omniscient Tree and the familiar house behind them, they would have thought they had traveled through time.
The exterior of the house had changed dramatically. The three houses side by side were surrounded by a rectangular rose border, and there was a large metal openwork door in front of them, which was now open.
In front of each house is a small lawn. In front of Nami's house is an orange grove. In front of Robin's house is an iron gate. In front of Kaya's house is a figure-eight swimming pool. You can faintly see steam rising from the circle near the iron gate. The swimming pool is surrounded by a large peach tree. You can only vaguely see it from the outside.
There are many fruit trees next to the house. I haven't looked at the back of the house yet, but I imagine it won't be too bad.
"How beautiful!" everyone exclaimed.
"It's so beautiful! How was this done? It would take years to build this, it's a miracle!" Kaya's parents exclaimed.
Olvia was filled with pride. She knew she hadn't misjudged him. She and Robin would definitely be able to find the truth about the lost hundred years with him. Few people could match his skill.
"By the way, where's Momo?" Bellemere asked.
"It's probably in the backyard. Let's go check it out. The front is so beautiful, the back must be just as nice. I'm really curious to know what my future home will be like." Kaya's mother said anxiously as she ran towards the backyard.
When Olvia and her group arrived at the backyard, Momo was planting seeds in the last plot of land. The backyard was filled with rows of vegetable and flower gardens; Momo had planted some common vegetables, as well as chrysanthemums and sunflowers. In the far corner, Momo had also made a fishpond, which didn't have any fish yet, but he had already planted lotus flowers in it, waiting to bring back fish to raise next time. Fruit trees and chili peppers were also planted around it.
Looking at the astonished Olvia and the others, Mo Mo felt a surge of pride—the pride of having his hard work recognized by others.
"Why are you here? Are you satisfied with this new home? If there's anything you're not happy with, tell me and I'll make improvements immediately. You can also tell me what foods you like to eat, and I'll try my best to grow some of them."
“I’m very satisfied, this is fantastic! How did you do it?” Kaya’s father asked.
“Yes! We’re all very curious to know,” Olvia chimed in.
"It's just a small application of some Devil Fruit abilities, like stimulating plant seeds, modifying soil, and changing terrain. It's very simple. As long as you have enough patience and attention to detail, you can do it," Mo Mo said with a slight smile.
"Don't be modest. By the way, you must be tired after doing so much work. The food is ready, let's go back and eat!" Olvia felt a little sorry for Mo Mo when she saw the fine sweat on his face. So, as if possessed, she went over and carefully wiped it off for him. Feeling this moment of tenderness, Mo Mo silently said in his heart, "It's worth it."
“Yes, yes, let’s hurry back to eat. Anyway, these flowers, plants and trees are here and won’t run away. We have plenty of time to look at them, no rush,” Ke Ya’s mother agreed.
"Okay, let's go eat." Mo Mo smiled slightly, hugged Olvia who had just wiped his sweaty face, and then led everyone back.
Back at Robin's house, everyone had a lively meal. Because they were tired from the long journey, they went back to rest. Bellemere's injuries had not yet healed and she was still a bit weak, so Olvia went to take care of her.
After a satisfying meal, Mo Mo went for a stroll and then revisited the amusement park he had meticulously crafted. Mo Mo hadn't gone to such lengths to create such a beautiful park just for looks; it was the foundation for his future happiness. After revisiting it and making some minor adjustments, Mo Mo enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot springs. The figure-eight shaped swimming pool actually had a hot spring pool on one side, and where the two pools met, there was a large pavilion. Under the pavilion, some lounge chairs and other amenities were set up in the pool, making it look very nice. This was the place Mo Mo had been most looking forward to; he loved the image of couples playing in the water. Later, it turned out that Mo Mo's decision was absolutely correct. It was in this place that Ke Ya's mother gave herself to Mo Mo and completely fell for him. On the evening of the second day after arriving, while soaking in the hot springs, she ended up in Mo Mo's arms, and then something that both of them found delightful happened.
As the saying goes, "When you're well-fed and clothed, you start thinking about other things," which simply means that when you're full and have nothing to do, you're bored. Mo Mo is in that state right now. However, Mo Mo isn't thinking about anything inappropriate for children. Instead, he's having the idea of building a pirate ship. Actually, this idea came to him when he first returned to Ohara. Before entering this world, Mo Mo originally wanted to build a ready-made modern cruise ship. Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected, and his beloved wife confiscated it. Now, he can only find a way to build one himself.
A pirate ship needs to be sturdy, fast, and have some firepower. Since the crew is small and Mo Mo doesn't want the girls doing heavy work, he can only focus on the ship's automation. First, raising and lowering the sails must be automatic, and then the operation must be simple, requiring no manual aiming or other manual controls.
After racking his brains for three weeks, Mo Mo finally managed to design the basic structure of the pirate ship.
Now that we have the blueprints, all that's missing are the materials. For shipbuilding, Tom from Water 7 is definitely the first choice. You know, he built all the ships in One Piece; his craftsmanship is top-notch. And the Thousand Sunny was later built by his apprentice.
