Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

As Raab fell into a coma, no one spoke; they simply waited quietly for Raab to wake up.

After a long while, seeing that Laboon had woken up, Bai Yu spoke again...

"Your companions would not want to see you degrade yourself like this. The promise they made with you was for you to live well and wait for them to return, not for you to use your life to smash through this rock wall."

He paused, then continued, "The Grand Line is dangerous. They haven't returned yet, it must be because of that danger. Today, I'll make a new agreement with you. I will circle the Grand Line once, searching for your companions or bringing back news of them. Until then, you must live well, stay here at Twin Capes, and never harm yourself again until I return."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu withdrew his Conqueror's Haki, and the oppressive aura around him instantly dissipated, restoring calm to the sea.

Labu stared blankly at Bai Yu, his huge eyes swirling with complex emotions—confusion, and a barely perceptible hint of trust.

It seemed to understand Bai Yu's words, letting out a low whimper and slowly lowering its head.

Bai Yu understood what it meant, so it touched its head, which was covered in scars.

The deck was silent as everyone looked at Bai Yu's retreating figure with admiration in their eyes.

Crocus slowly walked to the side of the ship, looking up at Bai Yu. His previous composure had been replaced by shock. In all his years, he had seen countless powerful individuals with Conqueror's Haki, including Roger, but he had never seen anyone so young with such formidable Conqueror's Haki, so completely controlled. That power not only possessed a powerful deterrent force but also a calming will. This guy was simply too strong.

"Good lad, that's some strong Conqueror's Haki."

Kurokas clicked his tongue in amazement, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"I have been guarding this place for decades and have seen countless newcomers who have crossed the Reverse Mountain and wanted to enter the Grand Line, but I have never seen anyone like you. You are going to stir up a storm on the Grand Line."

He shook his head and continued, "The Grand Line has never been a haven of peace. It is fraught with countless dangers, including powerful pirates, mysterious islands, and the pursuit of the World Government. But I believe that someone like you will make it to the end."

Crocus's gaze swept over the group behind Shiraha, taking a closer look at Robin, the seemingly lazy yet sharp Rangiku, the gentle yet unfathomable Unohana, and the puppets that precisely controlled the ship. A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Your abilities, and your partners, are all remarkable individuals."

Bai Yu turned back to look at Crocus, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Thank you for your kind words, sir. But the road ahead is long, and all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate."

"Hahaha, what a fine saying, 'Do your best and leave the rest to fate!'"

Crocus laughed loudly. "Strength is important, but keeping promises is what a man should uphold."

Bai Yu's gaze fell again on the dense scars on Laboon's forehead. His brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Unohana behind him, asking gently, "Unohana-nee, can you treat Laboon's head injuries?"

Upon hearing this, Unohana carried Kanna and slowly walked forward. Her pale face still held a gentle smile. Her gaze fell on Laboon's wound, and she examined it carefully before nodding gently. Her voice was soft but carried a reassuring power: "It's fine, Shiraha-kun. My Zanpakuto can come in handy."

Hearing Unohana's affirmative reply, Shiraha nodded slightly and earnestly asked, "Then I'll trouble you."

Unohana gave a soft "hmm," handed Kanna from her arms to Robin beside her, and then slowly walked to the side of the ship.

She raised her hand and grasped the Zanpakuto at her waist, her slender fingers gently tracing the scabbard, a soft light flashing in her eyes.

"Come out, Minced Meat."

As Unohana's gentle voice faded, the Zanpakuto in her hand suddenly emitted a soft light. The next second, a huge green creature emerged from its sheath. It was a creature resembling a ray, with a soft and enormous body, radiating a faint green aura. It was Unohana's Zanpakuto's Shikai form, the biological type Zanpakuto, Minazuki.

The flesh-eating creature let out a cry, then slowly flew from the ship onto the sea, heading straight towards Labu.

"Rabun, don't resist..."

As the flesh-clawed creature's body gradually unfolded, its enormous wings gently enveloped Laboon's massive form, and its Zanpakuto flowed like water, slowly covering Laboon.

Crocus's eyes widened, and he nearly dropped the wine jug in his hand, his cloudy eyes filled with disbelief.

He had lived to such an old age, seen countless skilled doctors and strange abilities, but he had never seen such a bizarre yet miraculous healing method.

That eerie green creature was able to completely envelop an island whale, and the aura emanating from it was full of life force.

Everyone on the deck was stunned.

Rangiku's eyes widened, the sake gourd in her hand stopped at her lips, her eyes filled with shock.

Robin, holding Kanna, gazed thoughtfully at the fleshy fish, "What a beautiful fish..."

Bai Yu was actually a little unaware of Robin's aesthetic sense, but in the original work, Robin's aesthetic sense was indeed quite strange.

The sound of flowing water emanated from the fleshy body, and a strange energy slowly seeped into Labu's skin. Labu's tense body gradually relaxed, and a comfortable whimper escaped his throat. His huge eyes were filled with a look of contentment. The wounds on his forehead healed at a visible speed, and the old scars of varying depths gradually faded, becoming less shocking.

Of course, no one else could see any of this except for Unohana.

After an unknown amount of time, the Flesh-Dwelling Gourd slowly retracted its body. It gently nuzzled Lab's forehead, then let out a cry, slowly swimming back to Unohana's side, transforming into a stream of fluid, and slowly returning to its sheath.

Rab slowly opened his eyes. His huge eyes were filled with clear light. The wound on his forehead had completely healed, leaving only a faint trace, and there was no trace of blood left.

It gently flicked its tail, slapping the surface of the sea and creating a huge wave. Then it rubbed its forehead against Unohana's hand, letting out a cheerful whimper, as if expressing its gratitude.

"Don't worry, you're completely healed."

Crocus stared at Laboon's healed wound, speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally came to his senses and said excitedly, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Is this a knife that ate the Op-Op Fruit? In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen such miraculous healing power."

Unohana nodded slightly, her face still bearing a gentle smile, and said softly, "It's just a trivial ability."
