Ai Qi and Luo returned to Caesar's research room. At this time, only Monet was in the room, wearing thick-bottomed glasses and sitting on a chair with a pen in his wings to record something.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she said to the visitor without raising her head, "If you're looking for the master, he's not here."

Ai Qi held Luo's hand tightly.

Luo patted the back of her hand lightly to comfort her, and walked towards the sofa, "Really? Where did he go?"

"Who knows, he's a bad guy, maybe he went outside to watch the battle." Monet replied.

The cloth bag containing Chopper was casually placed on the sofa, and Luo continued, "I've almost finished watching what I want to see on this island, and I'm almost ready to leave."

"Oh, is that so?" Monet became a little interested, smiled and looked up at him, then looked at Ai Qi beside him, stopped the pen in his hand, "It's going to be deserted."

"I want to borrow your ability a little bit," Luo pointed outside, "Can you follow me?"

"Ah," Monet raised his thick glasses, the lenses reflected a cold light, Monet smiled, and took off the glasses, "Are the three of you dating? That's interesting, forget it, anyway, I've been bored for a long time It's gone." After saying that, Monet flapped his wings and flew towards the door.

Luo didn't answer, and walked towards the door without saying a word.

"Be careful, Virgo is here." Ai Qi reminded in a low voice that only Luo could hear.

Luo nodded.

Before leaving the research room, Ai Qi looked back at the cloth bag, regardless of whether Chopper could see it or not, and gave him an OK gesture.

After the movement outside completely disappeared and the human breath faded away, Chopper carefully got out of the cloth bag and began to search for the formula of the candy poison that the children ate in Caesar's main research room.

--------------------------------------

In the dark passage, every time Luo took a step, he felt more and more pain in his heart. ——Although the original empty position has been filled by Ai Qi's heart.

The pain of being pinched by someone in the heart became more and more intense, Luo's chest heaved violently, his body convulsed, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Luo!" Ai Qi supported Luo with her own body. Her palms were already wet from the cold sweat from Luo's palms. She didn't know if it was her illusion or just because she felt sorry for Luo. She felt empty at this moment. There was also a faint pain in the chest cavity.

"I can hold on." Luo gritted his teeth tightly, his gray-black eyes staring at the dark front, "He, here he is." He said viciously.

There were footsteps coming from far and near, and finally stopped in front of Luo.

"It's me." The voice of an adult male was deep and turbid, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I've grown up a lot, Luo."

As his voice fell, his figure became clearer.

"Vergo."

Despite the preparations, Luo's pupils couldn't help constricting violently when he actually saw Virgo, and Ai Qi supported Luo to keep standing with the help of ghost crying.

Seeing this, Monet covered his mouth with his wings and smiled maliciously, and said to Luo, "You don't look surprised, what's going on?" His tone was full of gloating.

What's so funny about that, Aki glared back at her.

Monet flapped his huge wings, covered his mouth and took a step away, "Oh, what a terrible look." Monet sneered and flew behind Virgo.

"Luo," Virgo stood opposite Luo, "do you think he doesn't know anything?" It's self-explanatory who he refers to.

"Oh," Luo replied with a sneer, "his power is twisted and twisted, and it's not too late to know it now."

With his hands behind his back, Virgo raised his head and looked down at Luo condescendingly, "I just heard that SAD's cruise ship was going to set sail in Dressrosa, so I took it here. It was the right decision."

"What is the right decision." Luo panted heavily, leaning most of his weight on Ai Qi, trying to maintain a standing posture.

"Should I call you Lord Shichibukai now?" Virgo looked at Luo, "You're doing well, Luo."

"But I forgot to say something," Virgo pulled out a hand from behind, holding his weapon bamboo, "Luo, what is your purpose on this island?

"Let me think about it." Virgo took a step forward slowly, "Actually, you can guess without telling. After all, children can't fool adults."

Now that they had met each other, Luo endured the pain and staggered to protect Ai Qi behind him, holding the handle of Guiku knife, and confronted Virgo.

He sneered, "Am I a threat to you?"

Virgo shrugged his shoulders. After his wrist and the bamboo clarinet he held were hardened by him, "Threat? Are you too arrogant. ——If you really posed a threat, you should have died long ago."

At this point, Luo didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, the severe pain in his heart didn't stop, Luo gritted his teeth and let the ghost cry out, "Since this is the case, then I can only get rid of you first."

Virgo's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Luo indifferently. When the blade was approaching, he suddenly squeezed his heart with the hand behind him. The chest fell down.

"Luo!" Ai Qi worriedly stepped forward to help him. It was the first time she saw Luo in such a mess. She felt extremely distressed. She took out a colorful candy from her pocket, opened Luo's tight jaw, and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is the same candy she gave Sanji before. In addition to the sweetness of the candy, it also contains sedative and analgesic ingredients, which can help Luo suppress and relieve some pain.

After the pillar hardened by the armed color in Virgo's hand spun around quickly in his hand, he mercilessly hit Luo fiercely, one after another, Luo only had time to push Ai Qi away, and he took it alive. After this beating, he was beaten flying, and the corners of his forehead and mouth began to bleed.

Monet smiled and watched, as if he was watching a good show, "It's really merciless~~"

Virgo answered him indifferently, "If you show mercy, it won't be considered a punishment."

Ai Qi ran towards the fallen Luo, shielded him with one hand, and stared at them with fangs and claws. "It's only because I pinched Luo's heart that I can say such things. Punishment? You are not qualified."

Virgo's eyes became sharp, Monet licked his lips, half covered his mouth with his wings, and looked at Ai Qi with murderous eyes.

"Qualification?" Virgo looked at Ai Qi and said coldly, "Who are you? How dare you say such things to me."

"Ai Qi," Luo grabbed Ai Qi's arm, trying to pull her back, "Get behind me, you can't beat him, be obedient."

She still has this bit of self-knowledge, but she is still not angry. Ai Qi clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "I see if you dare to trade your heart so easily in the future. ——Since My heart is on you, and in exchange, your heart should belong to me."

Luo smiled helplessly, and coughed up a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it off indifferently, and replied softly, "Okay."

"You said it." Since she owns the heart, she is obliged to snatch it back from Virgo.

Virgo is not a benevolent person. As a vice admiral, his benevolent side was just his false appearance. Ai Qi's words annoyed him, and the domineering bamboo in his hand pointed at Ai Qi.

"ROOM—" Luo opened up the space.

Aki stood up.

Virgo's attack was fierce and extremely fast. Ai Qi shook her back and spread her wings to avoid it.

"Ah," Monet narrowed his green eyes, stared at the wings behind Ai Qi, and flapped his own wings, "Is it actually a fruit capable person?"

Ai Qi has an excellent ability to avoid damage. Two years ago, under the guidance of Luo, she learned to defend and attack. The move named "winged clam" is to use the pair of wings that look soft but are actually as hard as steel to form a shield. To protect herself, she upgraded this move again, strengthening the shield with layers of feathers, which she named "Big Feather Clam".

The seemingly perfect block of "Big Feather Clam" blocked Virgo's ghost bamboo. Ai Qi endured the blow of the ghost bamboo that was hardened by domineering, while looking for opportunities to regain her heart.

The ghost bamboo's attack became more and more fierce, Ai Qi couldn't help but groaned, quickly withdrew from one side of the block, the tip of the wing turned into a sharp feathered sword, and collided with Virgo's bamboo, "Keng—" the bamboo blade was handed over sound.

She could already clearly feel the impact that the bones were about to be shattered, but the heart in Virgo's hand was so alluring, Ai Qi gritted her teeth, pulled away the other wing, and reached out to fish it.

"Oh," Virgo sneered, before Ai Qi could react, her hardened fingers were stabbing her head-on at super high speed.

The "finger wooden warehouse" of the Navy VI style is said to be able to easily penetrate the human body and even steel.

A low muffled hum resounded above her head, and then she was rolled into a warm embrace. Ai Qi felt her heart tighten, and looked up. Although the corners of Luo's lips were tightly pursed, there was still blood overflowing from the corners of Luo's mouth. It can be seen that Luo It's not easy to suffer this blow.

"It's really touching." Monet's light voice came.

She finished watching this good show leisurely and contentedly. The result of the first chess match between Luo and Virgo has already been decided.

"Brother Luo, I'm sorry." Ai Qi sincerely apologized.

"Fool." Luo opened his mouth, and the blood in his mouth couldn't stop dripping down, "Don't be so reckless next time, I don't know who I learned from."

"Yeah," Ai Qi nodded and shook her head again, "I'm not reckless, I'm serious."

Such a result had been expected by her, she and Virgo were far apart in strength, but she still chose to stand in front of Luo.Repeat it hundreds and thousands of times, and she will still make the same choice.

What she was sorry for was letting Luo, who was already injured, block it for her.

Luo put his big hand on Ai Qi's head and rubbed it, "Thank you."

As the captain, it is his duty to protect the crew, but the feeling of being relentlessly protected behind him seems to be a long-ago memory.

Someone loved him, in the past, in the present.
