West Blue, Ilisia Kingdom:
"Woooo~!!!" The sound of a young girl's lamenting could be heard as if her soul was crying and not just her eyes.
"Cindry-Chan..."
"My child-"
The parents gazed at this scene with hearts that quivered and tearful eyes.
After reading the last chapter, they were deeply affected, they didn't expect the tragedy of their child to be so complicated.
The price of pursuing dreams in this world is extremely high for ordinary people.
This is what they have realized.
Both the father and mother tried to comfort their daughter, but their efforts were all in vain.
However, at this moment, many residents of the Ilisia Kingdom began to applaud and shout their great love for Cindry... including the king of the kingdom, Thalassa Lucas!
"Amazing... overcoming the curse of the devil fruit with just willpower, you will become an amazing woman, Cindry-chan!"
"That evil dog, Hogback, with a heart full of evil from the beginning, it seems he will come to Ilisia at some stage... If I see him, I'll beat him until his mother wouldn't recognize him again!"
"Calm down, my friend~ I'll crush his balls so he won't think of love again!"
"Oh... this is more fierce..."
The applause and encouragement for Cindry and the curses against Hogback continued from all directions.
Cindry stopped crying and heard all of this, she felt a great happiness that gradually filled her heart and washed away all her sadness.
Suddenly, a big smile appeared on her small face, "I am very happy."
"One Piece" Events:
"Well!! Lick the floor, Cindry." Hogback gave a cruel command.
Cindry replied obediently: "Yes, Hogback-sama."
As Hogback watched her lick the floor, he laughed: "Fosh Fosh, the zombies are loyal only to their commands. Even the usually rebellious Cindry-Chan is like that."
Chopper's eyes widened after seeing this: "!!?"
Hogback began to speak: "You have seen that room, Dr. Chopper. That is my room!! Those pictures are of Victoria Cindry, who was a stage actress while she was alive!!"
He continued: "I was charmed by her for a long time!! Her beauty fascinated not only me but all the men in the country!! She was popular but didn't indulge in her fame. She was kind to everyone, not just her family... such a good woman."
"But that woman...!! I, who had everything as a doctor... had my marriage proposal refused...!!! She said she had a fianc...!! It was an anguish that cannot be put into words...!! I eventually left my job...!! At that time, the man who appeared in front of me was my master, Gecko Moria!!"
"I boarded that ship under one condition... with that miraculous ability, he must bring Cindry back to life! By stealing her corpse, I easily obtained an obedient Cindry. I didn't care about the character of the girl who had rejected me!! If only I had her beauty...!"
"This is the zombie Cindry-Chan!! I'm happy, and I'm sure she must be too... since she can once again live as a human in this world."
After hearing all this, Chopper shouted in outrage: "You are just creating monsters!!! For every zombie you make, you leave a human in misery!!! Because of that, I can't allow you to do this!!!"
... .. After his struggle with Cindry, whom Hogback had strengthened, Chopper couldn't express his pity for her as she was already dead and just a moving corpse.
Hogback laughed at Chopper's claims: "You doubt your eyes!? Acknowledge it!! This is mankind's eternal dream!! 'Rebirth of the deceased'!!! Humans can be revived!!"
Chopper scowled at Hogback before shouting: "Is it okay that they can only move? HUMANS HAVE MORE FREEDOM!!! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ISN'T TREATING THEM AS HUMANS."
"Cindry!! Buy me some time!! I'll run away!!!" After being deceived by Robin, who led him to the orders of Jigoroh and the zombie Absalom to throw themselves from the upper floor, Hogback decided to escape and rely on Cindry to buy him some time, but he was surprised by the unresponsiveness of his obedient zombie.
"? ...Why aren't you replying!!? Rest assured, I'll just give you another shadow if they beat you!!"
Chopper: "!"
Robin: "!?"
Cindy answered and tears roll down her cheeks weirdly: "My body... won't move..."
After reading the last scene, the father Victor, and his wife and daughter could not control their emotions. The father wept in silence while the mother hugged her daughter and cried out loud, making the scene highly emotional.
Even the people inside the art store were deeply affected by this great scene, which was a perfect illustration of issues and important messages for humanity.
Most of the readers understood these messages, no matter how simple they were. They already realized the key point.
A person who doesn't have the freedom to make decisions for himself is not a human being in the truest sense.
That is why the majority of the people who were affected by this chapter were the slaves, or at least those slaves who were given the opportunity to read this chapter.
For the zombies who were simply the result of a devil fruit's power, they were not human in the first place. Only a crazy and obsessed person like Hogback could try to deceive people with his own understanding of "being alive".
"Cindry-chan... don't worry, my dear... everything won't be as it's supposed to be from now on..."
"You got a good brother."
...
West Blue, Ballywood Kingdom:
"Why are you sweating profusely, Hogoback-yo...?" Kureha pressed the word "Hogback" with a malicious tone as if confirming her violent anger.
"I- I'm not sweating... it's just... ugh... the atmosphere has become hotter for some reason..."
Hiriluk glared at Hogback with upset eyes.
"And I was going to bring you on to my exploration team... someone like you doesn't even deserve to breathe the same air as humans."
Hiriluk's evaluation of Hogback dropped below zero... now only realizing how mistaken he was in his previous judgment.
Now, the struggle to understand the previous words of Rob.
'The good doctor may not necessarily be good'... this was what Rob said when they weren't even done reading the volume and asked him for information about the location of Hogback.
"When you are considering not human from a speaking reindeer, that is the highest degree of insignificance... Hogback-yo... as expected, you need rehabilitation, a naturally evil person like you doesn't deserve mercy."
Suddenly, dozens of hunters wearing official uniforms resembling police uniforms appeared and seized Hogback, tying him up before taking him away.
The people inside the art store were frightened when the hunters of the system disappeared in the personal section.
Kureha took another sip of the sake and noticed the disappearance of the law enforcement hunters and Hogback's screams.
"The air became cleaner after he left."
