[Marvel: I Started by Containing SCPs] Chapter 212 (Patreon)

Bruce Wayne: "I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything. I'm just suggesting we evaluate the revolutionary's capabilities first."
Robin: "I don't think there's any issue. If Dragon didn't have the ability, he wouldn't have been able to attract so many like-minded comrades. He's regarded as the savior of the oppressed."
Usopp: "Hey, Luffy, that Dragon guy is your father, isn't he? Aren't you going to say something?"
Luffy: "Huh? He's my father? So that's what he looks like! This is my first time seeing him."
Nami: "You idiot."
Tony Stark: "Wait a minute! Did you just say that this pirate, Luffy, is the son of a revolutionary?!"
Nami: "Yes... Ah, maybe I shouldn't have said that."
Nick Fury: "Hold on! If I remember correctly, earlier he was calling the Marine Garp 'Grandpa.' So the revolutionary is the Marine's son, and you're a pirate?! How did three generations manage to cover both sides of the law?"
Garp: "Don't ask me why! I wanted to raise them as Marines, but they wouldn't listen! Ace! Luffy! You two idiots!"
Luffy & Ace: "We're not becoming Marines!"
Rhodes: "The descendants of high-ranking Marines are two notorious criminals? If this happened in our world, they'd be removed from their positions immediately."
Sengoku: "Garp's strength and reputation are unparalleled. That's the only reason he's still in the Marines."
Whitebeard: "Hahaha! This is too amusing. If word got out, it would cause a massive uproar."
Sengoku: "You bastard!"
On Whitebeard's Ship
Whitebeard laughed heartily upon hearing this shocking news.
"Who would've thought Garp had such a secret! It's killing me with laughter!"
He continued drinking, trying to make up for all the time he missed while sick.
"Ace, your brother is something else. You grew up with him, didn't you? Ever meet that revolutionary?"
Marco patted Ace on the back, curious.
"Nope. Luffy's father? He's a jerk too."
Ace grinned, glancing at the screen.
"He really does look like Luffy, though."
Back at the Plague Doctor's Location
"Do you know who you just killed? That was one of the world's highest authorities," Dragon said, pointing at the corpse of the Celestial Dragon the Plague Doctor had dragged along.
"Huh? Looked like an idiot to me."
The Plague Doctor's response caught Dragon slightly off guard.
"Exactly. Our world is ruled by these idiots. Because they hold the highest power, no laws can restrain them. They massacre and enslave at will. Even kings grovel before them without dignity."
Dragon's voice was filled with disdain as he explained.
"I see. This place is much worse than the universe I came from. Your world seems like a bunch of uncivilized monkeys," the Plague Doctor remarked.
Ignoring Dragon's puzzled look, she pulled out a variety of tools from her bag and started tinkering with the Celestial Dragon's corpse.
"What are you doing?"
Dragon asked, confused.
"Though this isn't my world, you also have a plague here. This idiot had the most severe case. I'm using the corpse for research," she replied.
"Plague? Are you talking about a deadly disease?"
Dragon's confusion grew.
"No, it's worse than that. This plague... how should I put it? It's something far more horrifying than illness. It leads to ruin. But how do I explain it... Never mind, I don't know how."
The Plague Doctor rubbed her temples, trying to find the right words, but upon seeing Dragon's baffled expression, she decided to drop it.
"At least you don't have the plague, which is good. But be careful not to get infected."
As she spoke, her hands continued working, inserting various metals and liquids into the corpse, creating an unsettling scene.
"And what are you doing now?"
"I'm researching ways to cure the plague. You're lucky to have someone as brilliant as me working on this. While I'm not there yet, I believe I can do it. I'll save everyone and eradicate the plague."
The tools she brought out became increasingly elaborate, resembling heavy machinery.
"Plague, huh..."
Dragon gazed out at the sea, lost in thought.
"You probably think I'm crazy, don't you? That's fine. I've been doubted countless times before," the Plague Doctor muttered.
"No, I believe you," Dragon said, much to her surprise.
The Plague Doctor looked up sharply at him.
"As I said, our world is ruled by idiots like these. Any slight dissatisfaction leads to destruction. Nobles and royals uphold this system, forcing the common people into misery, constantly on the brink of death. Only a rare few among the elites genuinely care for the people. This world is utterly rotten!"
Dragon clenched his fist tightly in anger as he spoke.
"Even worse, most commoners have been conditioned by this rule not to resist. They endure oppression and even teach their children to accept the same fate. This seemingly beautiful world is full of chains, crushing people to death."
"Tell me, isn't this world already terminally ill?"
Dragon's words carried immense anger, and the overwhelming aura emanating from him churned the sea below into violent waves.
The Plague Doctor silently watched his profile, struck speechless for a moment. This was the first time she had met someone who resonated with her beliefs.
"Interesting. The people I've met always claimed to be so wise but never understood me. But you're different. The first time we meet, you agree with me. You're quite an intriguing man," she said, her tone filled with admiration and delight.
"So, what do you plan to do? How will you change this plague-ridden world?"
"I lead a group of like-minded revolutionaries. I aim to expand our ranks until we're strong enough to overthrow this system and rebuild the world. Will you join us? You've killed a Celestial Dragon. The government won't let you off."
Dragon extended an olive branch, inviting the Plague Doctor to join his cause.
"You're bold to invite me into your organization. But that's fine. I need a place to go anyway."
The Plague Doctor readily agreed.
"Very well, I'll join you. You'll reform the world, and I'll cure the plague. Maybe working with you will inspire me in new ways."
