"Do I have another daughter?" Xiong asked after a moment's thought. "I can't find any relevant memories."
"Yes, most of your memories have been taken out. It's normal that you can't recall things from too long ago." Luo Heng said with a sigh.
"You seem to know a lot about me." Xiong paused and said.
"The information I know only involves a few words related to you, but they are all crucial." Luo Heng shook his head and said frankly.
"Can you tell me something? I will leave this world soon." Xiong asked calmly.
Most of his body has been transformed now, and he is about to be completely turned into a killing machine. No emotion can be heard from his language.
"You were born in the Kingdom of Sobel. Your family wasn't wealthy, but you loved reading and were determined to change the world through knowledge."
"However, the good times didn't last long. Due to the unique characteristics of your race, you were kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to the Celestial Dragons, becoming their captive slave."
"You were not able to escape until Fisher Tiger climbed up the Red Earth Continent and liberated the holy land of Mary Geoise."
"Later, you returned to the Kingdom of Sobel and, with the support of the revolutionary army, led a group of people to overthrow the cruel rule of the old king and became the new king."
"The good times didn't last long. The dragon's hoofprints behind you were spread by someone with ulterior motives. The remnants of the old king and the World Government's lackeys counterattacked back to the Sobel Kingdom."
"You were powerless to resist, and could only watch as those close to you were brutally murdered, and all the charges were placed on you."
"The revolutionary army rescued you and helped you escape from the Sobel Kingdom, but you were also wrongfully labeled a tyrant."
"With hatred for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, you joined the Revolutionary Army and spent a few peaceful years."
"Until one day, the World Government's agents found you and threatened the entire Sobel Kingdom and your daughter's life, demanding that you undergo Vegapunk's transformation research."
"You are kind-hearted, but ultimately you have no choice but to compromise and use your abilities to film your memories."
"This is all I know." Luo Heng couldn't refuse this request, and told him everything he knew without any exaggeration.
But when he looked at the tall and strong man again, his face, which was unable to make any expression, was filled with tears.
"What a sad life!" Bear said calmly. "But what can you do? Even a man as powerful as Long can't help me."
"I know Dragon is strong, but the Revolutionary Army is too weak."
"They only know how to violently overthrow the rule of the nobles, but they don't have the power to truly terrify the Celestial Dragons."
"You know, the Tianlong people wield the ancient weapon Tianwang, which can destroy a small country with just one strike. This is their true strength."
"And I also possess the power that makes the Tianlong people fear me."
"As long as they know I have this power, they will tolerate everything I do within a limited scope."
"This can completely include the protection of the Sobel Kingdom." Luo Heng explained confidently.
"This is hard to believe." Xiong said after a moment's silence.
"The man who is fighting with Kizaru was created by me." Luo Heng turned his gaze to the battlefield where Enel was and said.
"It's truly amazing to be able to stand against the Navy's highest forces," Xiong said calmly.
"I can create many people with such strength." Luo Heng said proudly.
"If that's the case, why are you so obsessed with me?" Xiong asked in confusion.
"First, your fruit ability is very powerful. As long as I make up for your shortcomings, I can even become a being on par with the Four Emperors."
"More importantly, you are a person who allows me to trust my back with confidence," Luo Heng explained.
"It's too late, it's too late. I can't even be called a human being now." The bear stretched out his fingers and knocked on his head, making a crisp sound of metal colliding.
"You don't have to worry about this at all. I promise I can turn you back to your pre-transformation state." Luo Heng assured Xiong.
"The last question is, Long will definitely not agree to hand over his partner to someone else." Xiong seemed to have been persuaded by Luo Heng.
"For a person like him, some compromises must be made."
"What's more, I'm not an enemy. I should be considered a very powerful ally." Luo Heng said with a chuckle.
"I sent the Straw Hat Pirates away. I'm afraid Dr. Vegapunk will soon shut down my self-awareness under the order of the World Government." Xiong said with some concern.
"If time could go back, which year would you like to go back to?" Luo Heng said something that puzzled Xiong. It was very similar to what he usually said before slapping someone away.
"Ten years, if possible." Xiong thought for a moment and replied.
"As you wish." Luo Heng stretched out his hand, a ball of pink light bloomed in his hand, and he slapped the bear on the body.
A magical scene happened. The bear's entire body was wrapped in the pink light, and its muscles and bones began to move uncontrollably.
The bear let out a cry of pain, as if it was suffering inhuman torture.
Even his cold and ruthless white eyes quickly regained clarity under the influence of the pink light, and his dark pupils appeared.
Perhaps because the body had been transformed, this process lasted for several minutes.
Apart from the initial cry of pain, this strong man gritted his teeth and persevered without making a single sound.
Finally, the pink light dissipated, and sweat flowed down his clothes like a spring.
"What a magical ability." Xiong looked at his hands in shock, then punched himself hard a few times. Only the muffled sound of flesh colliding could be heard.
"My memory has also returned." Xiong frowned in pain.
This was also the first time Luo Heng saw a human expression on his face.
"Welcome back, Bartholomew, Bear." Luo Heng said sincerely.
"I don't know how to express my gratitude." Xiong said with some emotion.
"Then come with me to kill those damn Tianlong people." Luo Heng stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
After a moment of hesitation, Xiong finally reached out and shook hands with Luo Heng.
"But before the war between the navy and Whitebeard, you have to endure it and continue to play the role of a robot." Luo Heng said after thinking for a while.
"That's not hard," the bear said softly.
"Your daughter is in the Sabaody Archipelago now. Do you want to see her?" Luo Heng changed the subject.
"A daughter?" Luo Heng's suggestion seemed to touch the softest part of this tough guy's heart. Xiong looked into the distance in a trance.
